True Magician

Chapter 38

Unknown location.

After the conversation, Dumbledore flew straight out of the Potter mansion, clutching his Elder Wand under his clothes. And I'm very curious to see what he decides to do.

I decided to check out Voldy's party, and after finding his magic signature, which smelled of snakes and death, I teleported to him without saying anything to the Potter family, because I didn't see the need to. When I arrived at the location, a rather amusing sight appeared before my eyes.

The location was a small stone hut, and Voldy himself was sitting on a chair in front of it and stroking his crossbreed snake. At the same time, a sapphire ring stood out on one of his fingers, which was most likely the very artifact that could steal magic.

Of his minions, only Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange were here. The rest of them he had apparently sent somewhere else. Malfoy was about the same as in the movie, but his appearance gave the impression of a less arrogant snob. Bellatrix, on the other hand... a distinct aura of madness surrounded her soul, which is quite in keeping with canon.

While I was looking at them, a snake noticed my presence and turned its head in my direction and hissed. This caused the other people present to turn their attention to me.

- "Oh? It's not often I meet unfamiliar faces," Voldy was surprised and smirked, "Who are you, here to swear allegiance to the strongest wizard?"

Yeah. Bigger than his robe.

- "Just passing through. I couldn't pass a pale child like you. What do you think of that, Tommy?" I smiled, at which his eyes widened and his minions looked at Voldy incomprehensively, "Oya? You didn't think your real name was known only by 'dumb as a door' and 'four eyes'."

- "Who are you?" he asked threateningly.

- "Well, well, well," my smile changed to a smirk, "the Bat we all know already told you about me, didn't he?"

- "I wasn't asking for your name," Voldy said and stood up from his seat and walked towards me, "Why didn't the ring work on you?"

At his words, Lucius and Bellatrix became wary and readied their wands.

- "Who knows. Maybe you should eat more to make it work." I said, already behind his back and scratching his smooth skull, "Look how weak you look. Your hair has fallen out, your nose is gone, and your skin is whiter than bone. Would you like some candy?"

He instantly turned in my direction and held out his wand in my direction, from which a green beam flew out. I only waved my hand, thus knocking the beam aside, which hit the nearest tree and blew it up. Seeing this, Voldy himself was now wary as well.

- "Heh. Gotta take care of your nerves, little Tommy. The grown-ups are gonna laugh at you, you know. Here, have some candy." I created a lollipop and popped it in his mouth, to which he froze for a microsecond, then shot another one at me. This time I didn't wave him off and just teleported ten meters away from him, "By the way, you have a very smooth skull. Did you shave it yourself?"

- "Kill him!" He shouted, and now three green rays came at me, blocked by the blue magic circle in front of me. The rays kept on coming, constantly supporting the attack, but to no avail.

- "You know, I've always wondered why you decided to preach the superiority of 'purebloods' when you yourself are a 'half-blood'? Or whatever it is you do? Oh, right. 'Mudblood'." I asked, starting to look at my gloves.

- "What?" asked Lucius, stopping firing the spell at me and looking at Voldy, "Is it true, my lord?"

- "Did you believe that buffoon, Malfoy?" Bella remarked with contempt in her voice, "You dare to doubt a lord?"
