Harry Potter: Heart Of A Mystic Soul

Chapter Fifty-Eight: More Mystic Souls

Harry had no idea what he was looking at. He wasn't sure if he was in shock or if he was falling even harder for the twins. He was guessing that it was a little bit of both.

But, the one thing he knew for certain was that he was very interested in finding out what in the world happened to the twins. He was likely to find out soon since he was currently watching the two of them test out their new abilities with Krinos, Melody, and Megi watching over them. Mason and Abby were also nearby because they were the only ones around who could help in case the twins lost control.

He watched as Fred and George would turn their fire and water powers on and off. Every time they had them on, they would regain their aquatic and firey fox features. Their tails would flick around like real tails rather than ones simply made out of fire and water.

"I'm not sure if I should be shocked, scared, or just numb by this," Neville says from his place next to Harry.

"There were bound to be others," Harry tells him. "I highly doubted that I was the only hidden mystic soul in magical Britain."

"But your powers were bound and needed a ritual to release them," Neville said.

They had brought Neville up to speed not too long ago. As he was one of the few true friends Harry had made at Hogwarts, it was only right to include him in the secret of Harry's mystic soul powers and how they had been bound. Neville was a very trustworthy person, so they knew he would never tell anyone.

"I'm sure we will find out how this happened soon enough," Harry says.

Soon, Fred and George turned off their powers and did not turn them back on. So, Harry and Neville felt it was safe enough for them to get near the twins without anything bad happening.

"You guys know what happened to them, yet," Neville asked the group helping them.

"Well, it's obviously different from Harry and his powers," Krinos said. 

"Did they not have their powers bound like mine were," Harry was both confused and curious.

The group shook their heads.

"They were bound differently," Melody explained. "Rather than being magically bound, their powers were suppressed by themselves."

"They did that to themselves," Neville was also confused.

"It would not be the first time we had seen something like this," Megi says.

"You've seen something like this before," Harry raised an eyebrow.

"Suppressing one's own powers is more common than you would think," Megi tells him. "The most common would be for the first-generation magic-users. The ones who are the first ones to have magic in their families. A lot of them tend to be abused for being different even before their magic fully develops. So, they subconsciously suppress their powers since they would view their abilities as the cause of their abuse."

"There are cases like that for wand users, too," Fred says.

"Especially for muggleborns or magical orphans adopted by muggles," George said.

"The most famous case was back during Newt Scamander's time," Fred remembers.

"He had to deal with one of the strongest Obscurus anyone had ever seen," George adds.

"I remember reading about that," Neville says. "It was an orphan wizard who ended up in the care of a woman who badly abused him and his foster sister since she ran an anti-magic group. He was incredibly rare because most wizards who suppress their magic die by the time they reach ten. But he was twenty when he became an Obscurial. And he nearly destroyed all of New York when it happened."
