Chapter 19 - 2nd year and the just another tournament

1990 Quidditch world cup was going to be held a month before Liam starts his 3rd year so he wasn't quite worried about it.

In the second year too, he behaved the same while unlocking his Veela charms a bit to people believing that he had gained the charm over the break while making his grandparents believe he gained it during schooling.

Liam continued to outperform others in everything and only presenting himself to be a bit powerful than others, he also cleared Dumbledore and snape suspicion by showing them a bit of truth about him when they used Legilimency on him, he showed them his identity and his grandfather telling him everyman should make himself thus using a branch family name instead of royal Albert one.

Liam also in his 2nd year started getting together with the Half giant Rubeus Hagrid he provided him various portions in return Hagrid took him to see many different species of animal which lived. Liam already had DNA enhancement better than the animals but to ease his boredom went to play with them, his dragon and thunderbird aura made most of the beings follow his instructions while some simply chose to run away.

After repeating the process for the first month, making sure everyone was ignoring him again. He started his second-year plan going back on the rooms of the requirement but this time using room of hidden things and not the library part but dark object one.

Liam with the help of Hope identified the Hocruxe easily as it had an incomplete soul trapped in it. Leaving behind Hocruxe Limb Let out all a huge black mass ball out of his body which consumed engulfed everything in the room leaving behind the Hocruxe, vanishing cabin and some more lesser power dark object.

Black mass broke and consumed everything, with Hope acting as a guard started analyzing everything at full power, Liam leaving Hope alone to complete its task at its fastest rate went out of the room of requirement and this time thought of area when one can practice spells.

Using the practice spells to turn all his theoretical knowledge into physical aspect, tried everything all the spells he knew and have read about while limiting his magic level to that of Filius Flitwick, the previous dueling champion and head of his house which he saw while he was in his first year using Byakugan he created a power scale of normal people according to which he controls his magic output.

He practiced all the spells other then Patronus Charm because he had some plan for that and didn't need it right now.

Like this his year went by throughout the years he had unlocked about 40% of his Veela charm which was modified due to being mixed with Thestral DNA making it charm seem like death, making one go numb for some time if they get charmed by his beauty.

Nothing interesting happened, he participated in the trial for Quidditch for his house and performing a perfect score on all the games gained the seeker position. Following which with ease, won all games against other Houses by catching the ball just a few mins into the game whereas in one game making it a close game and then catching it after 45 mins. Making him popular throwout the school. As he too has completed all the hidden world didn't remain much cold to the people and greeted back people who greeted him. He still didn't reply to anyone in a sentence but only in words.

Hope went offline for an entire year and a half after which it recovered and reported succession of the task, the reason why Liam was so into understanding the dark items was for the preparation of the originals. Compare to Original, Vodamort was nothing both in terms of strength and knowledge.

Getting Hope back after completing his exams truly completed is the second year, not wasting any time Liam after coming home went to practice with the team not that he needed it but had to show his involvement.

Quidditch World Cup of 1990 was to be held in the U.S.A, with the qualifying tag Scotland too went to participate, other members other then Liam were quite old almost 17 or 18 in age, While making his debut, Liam with ease caught the Golden Snitch within half an hour of the match leading his team to be one of the fastest team to win the qualification round with securing place in the tournament.

The entire tournament was a knockout tournament, in second rounds they have to win 4 matches to reach semi-finals who also be an elimination round.

2nd match went a bit longer, Liam didn't want the team to depend on him too much thus waited for the match to go on while preventing opponent seeker from catching the Golden Snitch when the score reached 240-200 with his team winning after 8 hours, He went and caught the Golden Snitch again. Repeating the same thing again and again always winning the match with him catching the seeker, He was soon nicknamed the Goldern seeker by the press with his big photo and explaining his pureblood heritage and perfect result in Hogwarts, people donned praise upon praises onto him. In the semi-final match, Liam with the Hour of the start of the match caught the Golden Snitch once again creating History of having caught Golden Snitch in all the matches. After his semi-final win, even the Queen took an interest in him and passed a command that if Scotland truly wins the Championship, All the members will receive Knighthood.

Filled with excitement, thrill, and arrogance people from all around the community came to see the finals.

Liam found it over the top and now understood how people felt about football to speak the world: Football is more than just a game. Similarly, for these people, Quidditch is more the just a game he believed.

The game started in the evening both teams caring there Nationals flag making their entrance, Liam also made his entrance while releasing 80% of his Veela hybrid charms leaving many people in crowd stunt and feeling numb in their bodies. Match went on for about 3 days, another team seeker was really good but Liam prevented him from gaining Golden Snitch score remain in close vicinity and reached 200 with Scotland in the lead, bored Liam used Hope to calculate all Golden Snitch possibilities and caught it ending the Match against Canada.

All the players rushed and grabbed him, His grandparent too come and greeted him.

The next day all the papers, whether small or big in the magic world had a big photo of Liam along with the rest of the team holding the cup distributed all around the world. His title as the goldern seeker was also established. He was crowned as a Duke thus making his title official while granting knighthood other members of the team, What the official anointment meant for him was that, his title Duke of Suss.e.x become real which while giving him political powers and also making him an a.d.u.l.t in the wizarding world as per the law while also making officially him 11th inline for the crown. His Dukehood was published in muggle papers, making him come once again in the limelight which he previously gained by completing all the education below at the age of 5 and a half.

For his contributions in the team, He was asked to remain in the team for the next cup but he refused to state that he wants to focus on his studies sole for now.

After being done with everything, Liam went back to his home and replied to Rangok who he since earlier has been in touch with him. He informed him about gaining official Dukehood, thus becoming an A.d.u.l.t and asked for a meeting with him to discuss Properties, Homes, and castles he owned.

He also asked him, grandparents, if he can go to Rome as he wanted to check the vault left behind there. His grandparent as a reward for winning the championship agreed.

Liam with his Grandpa used muggle medium of traveling both flew to Rome.
