HP: Is It Wrong To Be A Sociopath In Magical World? [ Chapter 7 ]
🕑 Added 2024-11-29 17:41:40 +0000 UTCAfter a couple moments of thinking about random comparisons between magic and lack of magic, the door slid open once more, looking over, I noted that the newest interruption was another kid, out of breath and kind of fat.
….
"Sorry but have you seen my toad at all?" Oh, it's Neville, looking over at him, I just shook my head as the other two followed my lead.
"I've lost him! He keeps running away from me!"
"He'll turn up." Harry being optimistic, but I'm pretty sure he's right so I just nodded along, while the kid in his misery just said to use before walking away.
"Thanks I guess!"
"I don't know what he's complaining about, if I got a toad then I would lose it as soon as possible, though of course I have Scabbers so I can't talk.”
“He could die and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. The other day I even tried to turn him yellow to make him more interesting. But the spell didn't work." After that he turned and rummaged around in his trunk before pulling out a wand.
I looked at the thing before leaning back a small bit, I'm fully aware that that wand is fine, it isn't even snapped in half yet, but the thing looked battered to all hell and I'm pretty sure the bit of lint that seemed to be stuck on the wand was actually the unicorn fur core, and that shouldn't exactly be on the outside of the wand.
"Unicorn hair is nearly poking out." You don't say, I was a little concerned that he might kill someone with that thing if he said the wrong thing and made the wand react badly.
Thankfully before he could say anything, in fact his wand was barely raised when the door slid open once more as I was kind of glad for this interruption. Mostly because I was in the area enough to probably be in the splash zone.
Looking over towards the door, I noted that Neville was back with a girl with very puffed out hair, something I could relate to, sure my hair wasn't all that long now, which was bloody weird to adjust to, but I'm used to it being a lot longer.
I wonder if there's a spell to grow out my hair, probably. Anyway, I made the connection to the fact that this was Hermione before she started talking.
"Anyone see a toad? Neville's lost one." Her voice was kind of annoying, mostly because it sounded bossy, and I'm not the best with people that assume superiority over me.
Ut usually ends with a verbal beating if they annoy me enough. Though I feel like that wouldn't go over well, them being kids and all, it probably wouldn't be good for my reputation if I made one of them cry.
Still, I was about to respond when Ron decided to speak up.
"We already said that we haven't seen one-"I don't think she was listening anymore as she instead looked down at Ron's hand where his wand was still lifted slightly before interrupting the red head by leaning up against the compartment to get a better look at Ron before saying.
"Oh are you doing magic? Well, let's see then." And with that she decided her view wasn't enough so she dropped into the seat open next to Harry and stared at Ron while he looked like he was just caught doing something embarrassing but was too stubborn to admit defeat, so with that he cleared his throat and spoke out the most fake sounding spell I've ever heard.
“Sunshine daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow." He waved it and exactly nothing happened.
It was a little bit amusing to watch Ron's face turn red though Hermione didn't seem to agree as she lifted her nose up at the sight of the 'spell' and said.
"Are you sure that's a real spell? Well, it's not very good is it, I've tried a few spells and they've all worked well for me. Nobody in my family is magic at all, it was ever such a surprise when I got my letter, though I was ever so pleased.”
“Of course this is the very best school of witchcraft there is. I've learned all our course books by heart of course, I just hope it will be enough, I'm Hermione Granger by the way, who are you?"
Well that's one way to use the oxygen you have, to speak so much in such a short time is honestly a talent that I wish would never be cultivated, especially with that know it all attitude she seems to possess.
It's mostly how she spoke, like everyone else was supposed to be on her level at all times. I understand the feeling, sure, but I'm never obvious about it, as it often leads to people being annoying.
"Ron Weasley!" He muttered it like he didn't want to but it was a good reminder that I also have to say something, and not be wrapped up in my thoughts.
"Alex Grey" I said is as normal as I ever do and barely looked over in my direction, probably not noticing my existence beforehand as I'm quite good at not being noticed when I want to be.
"Harry Potter" Her face seemed to spark with interest at that, which Harry seemed a bit shocked at, which is something he should get used to soon rather than later as I know it's going to come up a good bit.
"Are you really? I know all about you of course, I got a few extra books for background reading. And your in 'Modern Magical History' and 'Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts' and 'Great Wizarding event in the Twentieth Century.'"
Harry actually leaned back a little at that, like the news stunned him, which I guess is understandable, I'm not exactly one for the spotlight…
…so I thought having a bunch of books with my life written in it would be a bit annoying and disconcerting to be honest.
Wait, does it count if I'm not in the same plane of reality that the 'books' are being posted on?
18 chapters more to come in next 48 hours.
