Wizarding ninja Heir

Ch. 7 | Visions

Zeke wandered around Diagon alley, he thought about going back to the more shady side of the street – where he could potentially buy the more interesting things, but decided against it, McGonagall told him to wait for her after everything was done and he was scared of her walking by him in the shady part of the street she had to forbid him to go – he might as well have painted a giant target on his back during the school year if that happened.

He walked around buying some sweets with the leftover money he had in his pockets – he didn't have much more, just 16 sickles, which was only one sickle shy of being a galleon... Things in Diagon Alley were quite cheap – he honestly wondered how they made any money because one small silver coin could buy several things one would need, and honestly more than one would need.

The group of red-heads was gone now, leaving him with no one to talk to in the alley, so he had to make do with the boredom that is being alone waiting for someone to arrive, honestly, the time he spent in this new world went by very quickly, after all he spent most of his time studying the Monado, checking it's possible uses, cutting up stuff with it among other things, but one thing that hit him hard was the lack of technology such as smartphones. I thought about getting a videogame such as Zelda, but the NES was not a handheld console and he'd also have to buy a Monitor or something like that, and in this time and age... they were very expensive. He would buy the Nintendo Gameboy color, but that was also expensive.

Zeke waited around in front of the place he and McGonagall parted from, it was annoying having to wait for her, but he waited nevertheless, he saw the wizards and witches of the world go back and forwards, buying their trinkets and magic tools, while they passed he simply read a few spellbooks. He found it interesting, it was like wizards and witches just accepted that magic existed and worked, without wanting to explain anything deeper than that. Well, Zeke knew how it worked, he knew perfectly. Magic used Ether, the magic energy they talked about was just ether, and as someone with both the Six-eyes and the Monado, he was more in tune with magic than anyone else.

He could sense it, feel it, even see it physically in the world, still, he found it curious how some explained it as the energy coming from the stars, or some from the earth, some speculated it came from a wizard's soul – which although not entirely incorrect is still wrong. In the games, it is said that Ether is the building block of life, it's the essence itself, so it does come from the stars, and the earth, and the soul.

With nothing else to do, Zeke was forced to read through one of the books he had in his trunk. He started with one of the Gilderoy Lockhart ones since there were so many. The book was interesting, and had a lot of different topics in it, from magical herbs to potions and even fortune-telling, it was quite extraordinary someone would know all of this. After a while though, it became boring to read, it was a story about a practically perfect man, and that kind of story gets boring really quickly, he put the book back in its place and went back to waiting.

After a substantial amount of time passed McGonagall returned to the agreed meeting spot, she had a frown on her face and walked quickly as if wanting to get away from something. She quickly stopped upon seeing him and then turned her head to look at him, "I hope I haven't made you wait for too long," she said.

"... You did, I was here for an hour," said Zeke, turning his gaze to one of the clocks in the near distance, "What was so important either way?" he couldn't help himself from asking, what was so important she spent an hour in a bank, Zeke wouldn't buy the whole "there was a huge line" thing, this was a magical world where they can make bottles shrink and make spaces seem larger than what they actually are, telling him she was stuck in a huge line wouldn't make sense at all.

"I had to visit a professor who will be joining the faculty on my way here, and the meeting was less than pleasant," she informed. Zeke looked at her in disbelief, it was a whole hour of doing nothing because she was meeting a coworker, he took out his bubble blower and then placed it on his lips before blowing a few bubbles.
