The first week of study was exciting, every day a new subject and new knowledge, which is only worth Feyd's trick. Poor professor, she had to endure stroking for five minutes, I was afraid for her pride. After successfully escaping and calming her nerves, the gift will not let her lie, she managed not to give a sign about what happened. I wonder if Feyd knew then that the professor was an animagus, probably not.
The trio managed to stand out, to be more precise, Potter and Weasley, Longbottom often stayed with them, which is why he also flew in. Basically, Potter received special treatment from Professor Snape, for which he lost points and Neville, who managed to crash on a broomstick.
Malfoy, who regularly approached me with offers from his father to become related, reduced my good mood, fortunately he did not bother me and quickly retreated. What lifts my mood is Feyd with Hermione, starting from the attitude towards me and my family's affairs, ending with their knowledge and skills.
Looking at Feyd, I understood that he was special and different from other wizards, but I downplayed his difference. And the Hogwarts library only confirms this, that's how often an ordinary wizard visited the Hogg library, probably just before exams, and we are there every day. Everything would be within the norm, if not for the fact that we not only sifted books from water and unnecessary information, but also made copies of them for the Feyd library.
I was very pleased with the old textbooks on coldomedicine, which gave an impetus to the fulfillment of my goal. This and the exercises that Feyd advised me to do increased my confidence in him. Although I won't be able to start practicing soon, but the knowledge of spells to combat diseases and not strong curses in the textbooks of senior courses gave me confidence that I could help Astoria.
In the last month, the Weasley twins, famous for their jokes and bullying of students, decided to make fun of us. In the beginning, everything was normal, their favorite joke was mixing their author's potions into food and drinks, but then more sophisticated methods went and Peeves joined them.
On Halloween, the director decided to cancel part of the classes because of the holiday and in class with our dean, we practiced the Levios spell, which allows us to take control of the subject. Remembering Feyd and Hermi, they already own it perfectly and they get this spell on pure desire. The practice was not difficult for us and we quickly worked it out, for which we received 5 points to our faculty.
I was amused by the reaction of the sixth Weasley, whose name is Ron, despite his attitude to study, or rather lack of desire to learn, his attitude towards us is unclear, calling those who devote a lot of time to their development and training nerds and nerds. It looks funny and embarrassing how such a person got into the house of the noble, although if you look at the rest of the Gryffindors, it becomes clear that now the faculty of Lviv is accepted according to other criteria.
The festive dinner passed quietly, with the exception of Peeves, who finally got fed up and received a final warning, and the Weasleys received a response.
The appearance of the troll in the castle was a shock and everyone started to panic, while Feyd asked us to create his illusion, a spell that we found and learned after the first month in the library, there was a problem with its complexity, but the two of us became a little easier and we were able to hold out to our tower. The fact that our fake illusion was not noticed was helped by a crowd of hurrying students who did not pay attention to the angular and frankly bad illusion.
When Feyd returned, my question was what he was doing, thoughts that he had gone after the troll did not come to me, Feyd asked me not to tell anyone about what I would see and find out, to which I took a voluntary oath. What followed confused me a little, according to Feyd's explanations, it was mind protection and its effectiveness depends on the power of my mind and magic, from scanning, superficial reading and subtle influence on the mind it will protect, but whether protection will help in a rough attempt depends only on me.
After successfully implementing mind protection, we got together and Feyd took my hand. The next thing I remember was a colorful performance consisting of various colors. It took me about ten minutes to get used to it and start to navigate when I could already more or less understand what I was seeing. We were on a large island, separated by a large river from another land. The island is one large clearing, on one side of which there is, apparently, a warehouse, if of course you can call a warehouse a bunch of things arranged on three-meter shelves, to the side there were rectangular, metal devices that I saw a couple of times from Muggles.
A little to the side was an incomprehensible device for me, similar to the previous ones. About a dozen meters in length and two and a half meters in height, sand-colored, for a while I decided to put aside thoughts about the purpose of this device and continued to explore the island. On the other side of the island there was a garden with various plants, looking at them, I found magic plants known to me. Looking at them, I realized that I see not only the plants themselves, the gift immediately suggested that these are streams of magic.
When she came to her senses, after realizing, she looked at Feyd and Hermi, who were calmly standing next to each other and talking about something.
- Ji, don't be so bloodthirsty, why do you need to dissect him? We will have enough observations of him to study his body, we will need to study conventional medicine and I doubt that this will help much when studying a magical species.
"But his skin has magical resistance, if we study this effect, we can create a spell that mimics his effect or make our skin stronger!"
- Yes, but if you dissect it, without the necessary knowledge, then a valuable copy will be lost. So, no dissection yet!
When I came to myself, for the umpteenth time, I decided to find out where we are. After a long explanation and acquaintance with a semi-intelligent wand, in the form of a yellow ball, my head began to ache. When I started asking questions, my head started to hurt even more with each answer I received. Despite the migraine, I was glad that my now definitely best friends decided to entrust their secrets to me,
After a long tour, we decided to take a break and went to the main island. For the next couple of hours we rested and talked, forgetting about the troll remaining on a separate island.
Daphne's reaction was about what I expected, she was very excited, especially when we told her about how we use mana, to the logical question of whether she could use mana directly, as Ji assured that she could still retrain until her channels atrophied.
I also promised that on the weekend I would install an anchor connecting her to the domain, for which I was attacked with a huge portion of gratitude and happiness in the emophone, after explaining all the advantages.
The next day, all Hogg did was talk about Quirrell and Potter, everyone seemed to have forgotten about Dumbledore and his mistake. There were rumors about Quirrell that vampires were hunting him, sending monsters after him, and Potter found adventures again, along with the sixth Weasley. I don't know what happened there, but they escaped to the dungeon where the troll was, found their teachers, who went in search of the troll, already three, they either went after Neville, who was not at the feast, or the professor mistook Neville for a troll, in short, everyone was having fun, creating a bunch of rumors.
After classes, we immediately went to the domain, where we conducted the first training for Daphne to control her mana. Only towards the end of the lesson, Daphne managed to feel mana, with the infusion of the maximum possible amount of mana for her. Then it remains only to explain what needs to be done, in the domain, when you see mana, it is easier and faster to learn how to manage it.
While Daphne was already training on her own, I decided to do a troll. When I came to him, I found Ji and the immobilized troll, trying to figure out how she was able to fix him, noticed a club next to him, the questions disappeared by themselves. I spizd ... borrowed the troll, yes, it would be more correct, not only to study his skin, but also for subsequent settlement in the domain. It would be possible to worry about the living creatures inhabiting my domain, but they managed to breed and strengthen from free energy. To study, I took one of the cubs that were recently born and began to take care of him, already now he is larger than ordinary cubs of his age and actively draws energy from the background. When I noticed this effect, I went to check the whole litter and noticed that not all the cubs were able to repeat the feat of their brother, or rather there was another one.
Those that did not draw mana were similar to ordinary cubs and passively absorbed energy in much smaller volumes. Despite this, the adults received a small increase in strength and would be able to escape from the troll.
While I was helping Daphne, Ji was able to understand a little how the troll skin worked, his whole skin was one big mana seal, almost all the mana in his body was concentrated in his skin and he did not have his core, as well as the ability to use it, but due to the high density of mana in his skin, giving him resistance to mana-based influences, it is simply difficult for her to seep through it. This does not apply to energy-consuming magic or spells created to break through shields.
Over the weekend, it turned out to create and test a connection with the domain, everything worked well. When we finished with this, I decided to release the poor troll, the rabbits have already bred and continue, they don't even care about the replenishment of wolves, and some rabbits can fight back against one wolf, their horn turned out to be sharp and easily pierced the skin of wolves. On this wolf, Daphne decided to practice healing magic and, apparently, she will have candidates for treatment all the time.
Chapter 16: Chapter 15
- Did you stay up all night again?
- Yes, Aaah, Gee and I were busy all night, - the Gryffindors passing by us blushed and began to whisper.
- Do you understand that this sounds ambiguous?
- M? What are you talking about?
While we were walking to the main hall, we heard talk about the upcoming Quidditch match, and everyone was discussing Potter's participation in the match, which is against the rules, but in this school, no one cares about these rules, so this is the norm.
Entering the hall, they saw the director, as usual, sitting on his chair, in his invariable attire and smiling an omniscient elder. Approaching our table, I noticed a couple of students immersed in a book with their heads. While Gee and I were trying not to fall asleep, bodies came into the hall, slowly moving their legs to the tables of their faculty. These sleepy bodies reminded me of the world in which I managed to visit in the summer and left one of the blanks under the anchor, which has only the function of guidance. I remembered him because of the difference in the speed of time and resources left in that world. It will be possible to arrange a raid for resources on vacation, and it will not hurt to relax in an environment different from the library. And it doesn't hurt to take a couple of hectares of land, otherwise materialization eats a lot of energy, which still goes to expansion.
- What do you think about the match?
- It would be interesting to go to it, I still don't understand why everyone is so fanatical about it.
- It's just that Quidditch is the most common sport in England, and it's on everyone's lips.
The first lesson was Transfiguration with Vultures, McGonagall did not press her class much, unlike Slytherin, which she constantly drives. Most of the lions fell asleep at the first lesson, thereby making a huge mistake, the professor may be the dean of Gryffindor, but these guys will then go to Filch to work out.
After Transfiguration, there was a history queue where I decided to go to the domain. Having moved to the island, I thought about electricity, for the equipment that I'm going to use in the domain. The first thing that came to mind was to supply electricity directly, only recently it turned out to use electricity, directly converting it from mana.
The first attempt failed and the first electric kettle burned out, an hour later I realized that I would have to adjust the electric current for different models of equipment, although the equipment burned out again after a few minutes. When I started thinking that I was doing some shit, Ji came to the island.
- Have you been here? I thought you were in class.
- No, Daphne and I decided to practice and help a couple of wolves.
- Did you go to the troll again? It seemed to me that they could appreciate his strength.
- Now the troll has come to them himself.
- And how many are injured?
- Three adults, Daphne finishes with the last one, it looks like he was offended.
- How much time do we have left?
- Mmm, about five minutes.
When we were approaching the place where I felt a familiar aura, I noticed a family of wolves looking apprehensively in the direction of their wounded comrade. Daphne was already finishing her treatment and, judging by the missing fur, the troll had cut the wolf's shoulder. A couple of minutes later, after finishing first aid to the wounded, Daphne noticed us.
- Have you been waiting for me for a long time?
- No, they came up a couple of minutes ago, what happened to them? - approaching the wolf, he began to scratch him, simultaneously passing him a little prana, from such caresses he relaxed and began to fall asleep.
-They ran into a troll, were able to scratch him a little, and when they realized that they could not compete with him, they hurried away, the troll was not enough and he decided to catch up with them, they were able to fight back, but they also got it.
- We have to go, the lesson will end soon.
Returning to the classroom, I noticed that other students began to disperse, leaving the office, went towards the main hall, after lunch we have another lesson in astronomy, after which it will finally be possible to make a building for a warehouse, since there are materials. The astronomy lesson itself was ordinary, nothing new compared to the knowledge of Muggles, but they explain to us the influence of celestial objects when performing complex rituals.
After astronomy, we went together to the living room of our faculty, it was still a couple of hours before dinner. Passing through the stairs, we saw a scene that repeats at intervals of a couple of days, Potter and Malfoy were fighting again, and if there were two lockers on Draco's side, then Potter was actively helped by the sixth Weasley, inserting his couple of words into the verbal battle. Everyone is already used to their constant showdowns and try not to pay attention to them, almost always such skirmishes end with Malfoy threatening to tell his father everything and going about his business.
Continuing to move in the right direction, we came across Slytherins returning from classes, passing by them, I noticed glances in the direction of our group, those who especially distinguished themselves received a little yaks, after which they continued to move with pale faces.
After lingering a little on the stairs, waiting for her to swim up to us, we went into the living room. To enter the tower, it was necessary to answer the question of the painting, despite the fact that this wall was enchanted, when activated, it checked the person in front of it and could open the door to the tower if the student was enrolled in Ravenclaw, previously this enchantment was connected to the general Hogwarts system. Over time, without maintenance, the feeding circuit was damaged and now you can use this function only by feeding it yourself, which I abuse, telling the picture all sorts of nonsense.
There were a couple of people in the living room doing homework or reading books, a common picture for our faculty. After 10 minutes, I was already on the central island of the domain, having arrived at the part of the island serving as a temporary warehouse, I thought about the size of the future warehouse and its device.
When I noticed that Feyd is not a squib, but a full-fledged wizard, I was ready to jump with happiness, the cases when a wizard is born to a first-generation squib are very small, despite this, to go home with such good news, in such cases, such children are usually either despised or weaned from an "unworthy" mother.
Despite this, I did not say anything to my baby, in the ancestral library there were mentions of ancient magicians who used a wand or staff only as an amplifier, the age of these records was more than five thousand years, there were also records about the usefulness of children's emissions in understanding magic and getting used to it. But I didn't expect such results, sometimes he could use magic without realizing it.
As a squib, they didn't explain much about magic to me, despite this, I understood that my son's success in magic was too amazing. Then I turned to my full-time magician, Lucas, in whom I am sure how to be insecure about a person you have known for a long time, especially if you have signed a contract and he cannot betray. The only thing Lucas suggested was the ancestral gift, which became available due to the fact that the ancestral curses did not pass to me, only a few curses for weakening magic passed to me and the gifts that were not blocked by curses were able to fully pass to Feyd.
I was very worried that the baby would have no friends, but my suspicions were in vain, even though Feyd had only one girlfriend. Even though I knew my son was smart, it came to me to reconsider my views after I found out that they had read the entire school library in elementary school.
About what he threw out with a personal dimension and a transition to another world could add gray hairs to me, the only thing that comforted me was Feyd's knowledge of magic and the fact that there are no magicians in the world he got into and the world itself is dying. Lucas then had to run around a lot, and organize a small mobile squad, in case Fade ran into trouble and needed help, only then I was told that my preparations were in vain and would not help, but the squad could help in the fight against the Chinese, since he attacked to test his strength, and not to kill, otherwise the group was ready to pull Fade out.
At least at Hogwarts, he does not do anything out of the ordinary, although I doubt it, my suspicions only increased when he showed a troll caught in the corridors of the dungeon of Hogwarts, from what I heard, I had questions to the leaders of Hogwarts, especially to the director, without whom such a feint would not have worked. If he really allows this to happen, then I think there are quite a few people who would not mind complicating Dumbledore's life. Mu-ha-ha-kha-kha, no, Feyd is doing better.
At this time, Amber's personal assistant, passing by the door of his boss, got scared and began to prepare for a new job, praying for the peace of mind of those who crossed the road to his Boss.
