HP: The Secret Heir.

Ch.40 Let's Dance

Three days have passed since I signed the contract and we had already talked to Fudge about it and he said: "Just pay a fine, you will be fine." I had already said that I will be needing some practice with my magic.

He then wrote some letters and took a large sum and said "Do whatever you want for the rest of the year, I don't care. But please don't use any major dark spells or any rituals." I love the system that the previous wizards had created. It really works out if you are rich.

I was sitting in my study room strategizing what spells to use, since Alex is not the main opponent that I will face it is Fenrir. But I decided to use spells that will be effective against Fenrir.

Daphne was sitting in the study with me as well but she was reading the healing spells that I got for her from the chamber of secrets. These were non-parseltongue ones so she could read them easily. She was awfully quiet the whole time she was there I caught her catching glimpses at me and I wondered why that was.

She then sighed and put the book down and asked me "Hey Jon, my father said that you are going to duel Alex is that true?" there was a bit of a condescending tone in her voice.

Damit Florian why did you tell her now she will nag me about it. I didn't even look up and said "Yes, I am. I am testing him if he can defeat me then he might have a shot with Fenrir."

Daphne then walked up to the table and slammed it with her hands and asked, "What makes you think that you will be able to defeat Fenrir?"

I just looked at her like 'really you are going to question my abilities?' I didn't even say anything and got back to strategizing.

She then came close to me and said in a very calm voice "Jon, I know that you are strong, but these are werewolves. They have magical resistance and I just don't want to get you hurt."

I then got up and said, "Come let me show you something."

I then took her to the backyard and my backyard was more like a small forest than a yard.

She asked, "Why are we here?"

I then said "You are worried about my well being and I appreciate it I truly do. But..." I then turned around and took out my wand and then I waved my wands in a fast motion and three jets of light came one was white and caused a large explosion and created a big crater another was an ice-blue light, and then from the tip of my wand came a powerful jet of water that cut down the trees with ease and after that, a white thunderous lightning came and destroyed an oak tree.

Daphne saw my destructive capability of mine and was surprised she had seen me practising spells but didn't really know the extent of my powers. and I walked close to her and said "And these are not even my most powerful spells Daph. I am a practitioner of the dark arts, if I was allowed to use my spells Fenrir would turn to dust like that."

Daphne then looked at me and said "I just don't want you to get hurt. The thought of you fighting that monster just terrifies me."

I then came close to Daph and placed my arms on her shoulder and said "Nothing is going to happen to me Daph. And you really need to make yourself stronger because I am going to keep doing stuff that is dangerous. So I want you to be strong for me."

She nodded and I hugged her she was a bit surprised but didn't reject it. It may have been the first time when she and I have been soo close. I knew that she was genuinely worried about me, fighting Fenrir.

But in the future, I am going to fight many more death eaters and that time the chance of death will be significantly higher. I must prepare them for that as well.
