Chapter 58: Seven Arkstones Array

"It's perfect!" Harry smiled at the formless metallic and multicolor substance floating in front of him.

He had been a bit worried about losing his batch of magicite alloy since he hadn't been able to check on it for an entire month, but after a thorough inspection, he concluded that everything was in a perfect state.

"This may be the best one I have ever created. The ambient conditions of this chamber seem to be ideal."

He clutched his wand and started to transfigure and reshape the metal. There was no time to waste, once it was out of the cauldron, the magicite alloy would start to cool down and solidify very rapidly, and once it was done cooling, the metal would become nearly indestructible by any means.

Harry got to work, he started by dividing the mass of molten metal into seven parts. Four were transformed into rings, two into earrings and the last one took the shape of a pendant.

"Now, on to the next step."

The seven small arkstones he had prepared in advance, flew off the table and embedded themselves into the jewelry pieces he had just created while the metal was still soft.

The previously multicolor metal was now turning into a dark shade of blue.

"I need to hurry!."

There was little time left and he still had to complete the most important step. Engraving the seven runic arrays onto the metal before it completely cools down.

Without the runes, these would be nothing more than some pretty pieces of jewelry. And very expensive ones at that.

He picked up the runic engraving tools he had previously set on the nearby table and started to carve the runes on the surface of the metal.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

"Sems rare for the Headmaster to leave without much of warning like this. Something serious must have happened." Said Parvati.

"That's what you always say. And is never something serious!" Huffed Lavander.

"Excuse me?, when did I do that?" Parvati looked offended.

"Well, what about last month when Fay's cat went missing and you came up with the idea that the poor kitten was eaten by an acromantula that remained hidden in the castle," Lavender explained.

"That could have been true!" Parvati exclaimed.

"I told you already!, there is no way the Professors would have missed something like that!" Hermione hated when people talked bad about her professors or suggested they were incompetent at their jobs.

The bushy-haired girl turned her head to look at Harry who was currently reading a newspaper at the table.

"Say Harry, do you know if something important happened?"

"Maybe"

He handed her the paper.

"Read the front page."

The girl did just that.

"Lord Lucius Malfoy, murdered!...wait, Malfoy?"

"What?!" Shouted Parvati. "Let me see that!"

"Malfoy...like Draco Malfoy from Slytherin?" Hermione had only seen him a few times when he came to pick up fights with Neville.

"That's his father...I just noticed that he is missing from the Slytherin table." Lavender said.

"This is a huge deal!. According to my father, Lord Malfoy was one of the most influential wizards in the country." Parvati said while looking at the paper cover.

Harry went on to finish his breakfast, not really caring much for their conversation.

'One down...' He told to himself.
