Chapter 29:
As we reached the common room after dinner, I told my friends/future-followers that I would rest early today and then sneaked out using the same method like yesterday.
This time, I made it to the painting of Barnabas the Barmy without a pause, since I remembered it through occlumency.
Dora hadn't arrived yet. I wished the same things as yesterday and entered the room that appeared.
Since she isn't here I might as well test some things.
I took out my Wanda *cough* I mean wand.
It was the one which I bought from the Ollivanders. This is another cliche subject I wanted to avoid. I mean, there was nothing interesting.
*flashback*
Today was my 11th birthday and I knew that Hogwarts letter would be personally delivered by teacher.
McGonagall came to my orphanage and told the matron that I was being offered a chance to go to a boarding school.
This wasn't the first time I was being offered to offers to go to some prestigious school.
As a transmigrator, I have followed the standard procedure and skipped some grades to look like a genius.
So, many schools had come to the orphanage to offer me scholarship. But really, I had set everything here quite systematically. I had properly condunded the matron. I would sometimes show myself to her. The rest of the times, I would live at my own private mansion, which was furnished with all the modern furniture and technologies that could be found at this time. There was a separate, tech-free area for magic. I would also sometimes live in the potter Manor.
I had told her a few days ago if someone wants to meet me, let them come.
So the matron brought McGonagall.
I was already waiting in my room.
She met me, She told me stuff, I acted surprised, we shopped, went to the Ollivanders.
Yeah. That's how it's done. No boring details here.
At the Ollivanders-
Back to the practice, it was my first time dual wielding. So I tried out different stuff.
Like first, I tried shooting spell from both my wands at the same time, one in each hand.
I found out that I can do that as long as I'm casting the same spells from both my wands. So I had my fun shooting the dummies all around me like those gun-shooting scenes in Hollywood.
Next, I put both of my wands in one hand and tried casting a piercing hex at the dummy. This time, having two wands in the same hand, a bigger beam of light shot out. And I can say.... it's more effective than shooting the same spell twice.
Now, I started trying out some new things.
For that, first I just casted a sectumsempra. How? I didn't do any wand movements. I just focused on the dummy with will and intent on cutting it. Then I called out-
"Sectumsempra!" While at the same time, I consciously channelled my magic through the wand.
I didn't even look at the result. I had my eyes closed and I was trying to recreate the feeling that I had felt when I was casting the spell. It had felt different from pure magic. And as soon as I had said the spell, it had come in a concentrated burst.
So I began to channel my magic while imagining the same feeling with will and intent.
Slowly, very slowly, the feeling was coming. I could feel it generating at the top of wand-
But my concentration was broken as the room informed me that an intruder had come.
Making the door one-sided see-through, I got really shocked this time.
You wouldn't be able to guess who it was that I saw standing right outside the door.
It was-
!!!
What the f*ck is HE doing here??!!
This..
This is not fair at all! It could have been Quirell. I have counter measures for that. I wouldn't have complained. But why the f*ck is he here? Is the room that common now? That even he knows about it?
