Chapter 24:
I made up my mind and made changes to the room. I've decided not to let her know much until I'm sure that Dumbles can't breach her shields.
Though honestly? I've still got no idea if the guy actually reads children's mind or not.
'Oh manipulative and evil Dumbles fics, what have you done to me?'
Seriously, even if the man actually turned out to be a saint, I don't think I can ever look at the him and not related him to a twinkly eyes manipulative old bastard who offers lemon drops laced with potions of God knows what.
The room had done changing. The damage dummies had been replaced by new ones. The library shrank down to just contain Hogwarts library books, the practice field also shrank a bit.
The door a appeared and a pink haired girl stumbled in.
'As clumsy as ever.' I thought.
She then looked around the room and apparently got surprised by it's changed appearance. Apparently realizing that the room was different than the one she'd imagined, she looked around and got even more surprised when she found me.
'Wotcher Dora' I thought inwardly while I outwardly, I looked nervously at her. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
"Umm...Hi? beautiful girl, Fancy meeting you here."
"....."
She opened and closed her mouth while her hair showed me different colors.
"What are you doing here, kid? students aren't allowed to wander around after curfew".
*critical hit*
I winced. That hurt. Kid?
It looks like the task won't be easy.
'Oh seriously, she's doing this to me again?'
Alright! this time, I can't say much since I don't want to have my favourability decrease from zero to negative. But-'
A Lannister always.....well, you get the idea.
"Well, I could ask you the same, what are 'you' doing here. From what I can see, you're neither a prefect nor a head girl." I said to her making her a bit stumped. then I continued-
" But I won't. instead, why don't we introduce ourselves and I tell you how and what I'm doing here?"
" I'm Christopher Maxwell. First year. What's up?" I grinned at her.
( wotcher and what's up have similar meanings)
If I really kissed her and even if she responds positively to my advancement in this state, it would be similar to feeding her Amortentia.
(love potion).
I won't get any satisfaction from that.
I suddenly pulled my hands back.
"What happened, Tonks?" I asked her teasingly.
"You're not feeling well?"
Tonks, having realized how she had reacted, was blushing while her hair, now long and silky, were changing in rainbow colours.
"You look amazing by the way, I hope we had a mirror here..."
A mirror suddenly appeared near us. Tonks looked at it reflexively and gasped.
She looked at me, then at herself and then at me, I don't know what exactly she was thinking.
"I suddenly feel very tired. I hope there was a couch here." I said, faking weariness.
A couch appeared.
"This room is great!" I said to Tonks.
"Come sit me, umm...Tonks. That's your name right?" I said sitting comfortably on the couch.
"Y-yeah... kind of." She said. It seems she still couldn't make sense of the situation.
"Tonks?" I asked.
"Yeah?" she asked. She didn't sit with me. She summoned her own couch
"What happened just now? I feel like you somehow sucked me dry."
....
(A.N.: His interactions with Tonks would be slightly awkward at first because he isn't comfortable with someone treating him as a child. He gets triggered when she does that and he does some..... things in response. But everything would stabilize after some time.)
* One more thing. The age difference is too much, so they won't become a couple in just a year.
* And one more thing. MC might behave like a scumbag for the next few chapters, but after that, he'd be real nice and good person as he comes to care about Tonks.
Currently, he's going to have to lie a about his background, but he'll be truthful after he helps her develop her occlumency to an OP level.
