Chapter 21:
I raised my hand towards the dummies. Palm facing towards them. I had found out that magic flows better through palm rather than my fingers.
There were 20 dummies standing in a group.
I didn't want to destroy the room.
So I just went with...
"Bombarda" a low and calm chant.
""BOOOOOOM"""
There was a light so bright that I have been temporarily blinded if I didn't have magic flowing through me at that very moment.
There was nothing of the most of the dummies and the destruction had reached the far end of the room.
I quickly deactivated the trigger. As soon as it was deactivated, I fell on back.
"Merlin's baggy y-fronts" I muttered.
"hehe...hahaha...buhahaaa"(evil laughter)
I couldn't keep the super trigger for more than a few seconds.
There are several reasons to that.
Pure magic usually flows in very small amount (like a small drop of it per second) and that too at times when their body needs it.
What I mean is, at some times, their body involuntarily activates trigger for a very short amount of time.
So, with such small quantity, it can only passively and slowly heal wherever necessary and some of it is absorbed by the body. The small amount that is absorbed by the body makes its condition better. That's why witches and wizards live a long life. The trigger involuntarily activates comparatively more in powerful witches and wizards. Since it has gotten a little more easier to activate now that my magic power has increased.
Otherwise, Pure magic usually stays in the magic core(soul), not in the body . And whenever they draw it out with the use of a wand, it won't be called Pure magic anymore since they're drawing it with an intent and that too won't have much use since the trigger is still not active so their magic core would only release the amount of magic that is pulled by the wand.
*flashback* (one month)
I had asked Ted for a meeting with a floo call and he had said that he was free. So I floo-ed over to his house.
I had to settle a few business related stuff before going to Hogwarts.
During these years, we'd become business partners/ friends.
He had quickly noticed my talent in investing and whenever I used to ask him for advice on law matters, he'd discuss with me about the companies I had invested in. He'd invested some of his savings there as well.
So we'd become kinda friends even though he was much older than me. We talked about a lot of things other than business like the muggle world. I told him about the changes happening in the muggle world like the new techs. or new movies... stuff like that.
And he'll tell me about magical world in an objective perspective as someone knowledgeable about the muggle. His favorite topic was criticizing the ministry.
And I have to admit, that guy is smart and knows how to recognize and grasp an opportunity.
And he's daring enough to take a risk.
I mean, look at his life and wife.
Came as a muggleborn with no status. Married to Andromeda Black, the sanest of the blacks, very kind and beautiful and a good house wife. He somehow escaped the wrath of Black family. He also survived the war that wiped out so many powerful families and was able to have a peaceful life and also raised a successful daughter.
Now that I look at it that way, this guy remained a lucky bastard untill the snatchers killed him.
Anyway, after we'd become friends, he'd started inviting me over his home for our the meetings. Andromeda's cooking is really amazing.
But this time, there was something different. Though I hadn't known about it.
xxxxxxx
A.N.: the flashback would continue in the next chapter. This chapter is short because magic theory takes time and brains to write.
That's really the case. It's not like I like to leave cliffhangers.
