Harry Potter: Ero World

Chapter 53 – The Last Blacks! Part-2



{Slytherin Table, Great Hall, Hogwarts}

{4th Sep 1991} 

{3rd Person POV}

...

'What the fuck is going on!' Rigel thought as he stared at the picture of Sirius once again. For a second he thought that he was reading the same newspaper from two days ago, but the main heading and the buzz that was going around all 4 of the tables dissuaded that thought.

...

'''Breakout from Askaban'''

''' In the early hours right after midnight, Sirius Black, the mass murderer convicted for life broke out from his cell and escaped. The Aurors are puzzled at how Black managed to plan this as no sense of foul play can be detected. From the last buzz that we could catch, the convict is still at large, and a nationwide search along the shores of...'''

...

The article continued for a while and so did the hushed whispers, Rigel could sense that there were a lot of eyes glancing in his direction. He tried to keep calm but his stoic and calm facade was broken as a grimace managed to make it onto his face. A lot of his plans hinged on the fact that he would surely be somewhat aware of the future but since day one things had been going to shit.

'God fucking dammit, I don't think I know enough magic to deal with Pettigrew this soon...' Rigel cursed as the rat was a focal point for his plans. Not only was he needed to prove that Sirius was innocent, but he also was the one who would rush to help Voldemort revive in the 4th year.

Rigel planned to deal with Pettigrew before the prophecy was made by Trelawney, and that would set things in stone delaying the revival of Voldemort. Now he wasn't sure what would happen, neither he nor Harry was ready to deal with a revived Voldemort if he did make his appearance the next year.

'No Voldemort is here right now and his priority right now is the Philosipher's stone. In the movies, Pettigrew lurked around the school for almost the entire 3rd year before he left in the end. Was he afraid of Dementors or was it something else?' Rigel thought. At the very least he needed to hurry along on his magical advancements, these games with Rita and Evelyn while fun, were taking a lot of his time.

'I need to learn at least a good attacking spell something along the lines of a Reductor should work. Although canon showed that Pettigrew was quite pathetic in terms of magical quality I don't know how he would actually fare in a fight. Plus I need a way to keep him confined, something like the trunk that Barty Crouch Jr. used...' Rigel thought. He placed the newspaper down and went back to his breakfast.

In addition to all this trouble, he needed to deal with the Malfoys... at least this gave him another chance at taking a swipe at the Malfoys, now how should he frame the next article...

{Potions Classroom, Dungeons, Hogwarts}

{4th Sep 1991} 

{3rd Person POV}

Rigel looked at the perfect potion bubbling in his cauldron, he had to give it to her, Daphne knew a lot more about potions than quite possibly all the first years combined. While wanded magic was restricted, Potions was a common area for most Pureblood scions to focus on, this showed as almost all of the Slytherins got a perfect score.

The other reason was that Snape was biased. As Daphne went forward to submit their potion he packed all of his small instruments in the bag, the bigger things like the Cauldron would remain in the Potions Class storage room. For anything, Rigel was happy that he didn't have to haul a big cauldron every time he came to this class. 

Since this was a double lecture and since most Potions lectures are double lectures he was free after this class. And he fully intended to go to the library to take advantage of the information he had gained last night. He looked at his stats and focused on the improved mana control.

[Name: Rigel Black]

[Age: 18]

[Gender: Male]

[Family: Black]

[Level- 3 (141/150)]

[Mana- 543/543]

[Mana Control- 21%]

[Allegiance- Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Black, Most Ancient House of Gaunt]

[PHY- 7/20{Race Limit}]

[REF- 14/20{Race Limit}]

[VIS 12/20{Race Limit}]

[AGI- 11/20{Race Limit}]

[Mana Points- 4]

[Points- 0]

...

The increase in mana control was courtesy of the max-leveled Levitation Charm. As the spell reached level 10 a new bonus appeared on its spell panel.

---

[Levitation Charm: Level 10 {MAX}]

[The Levitation charm is one of the simplest magic that deals with gravity manipulation. The control and stability of the charm depend on the caster's focus at a lower level though at a higher level, the charm becomes more stable.]

[Wand Movements: Flick]

[Mana Cost: 1 Mana/min]

[Level 5 Bonus: Can be cast silently]

[Level 10 Bonus: +1% Mana Control]

---

Rigel didn't know if this was a random effect but if mastering 80 spells would give him 100% control of his mana, he would take it. Hell just learning 30 different spells would work as well, his control would shoot to 50% and he could begin experimenting with wandless magic and grind it up as well.

With less time to work towards his goal, Rigel packed his bags and spoke to Daphne, "Daphne, I'm going to the Library. You coming?" 

The blond smiled at him and nodded as both of them left the classroom. They had barely taken a couple of steps out of the classroom when Rigel sensed a familiar mana signature. He paused for a brief second and turned to Daphne. 

"I'm sorry but I remembered something, I need to write a letter to my account handler, it's best I do it now rather than later." Rigel gave Daphne a half-baked apology and an excuse before he started walking back toward the common room. An advantage of having the Potions classroom in the dungeons was that it took him just a couple of minutes to go to the common room. 

At the same time, a beetle flew into his pockets as he whispered the password to the common room.

'Why is she back so soon, I was pretty sure I would have to blackmail her to take the next few steps...' The puzzle continued as Rigel walked back to his room. It was a strange day indeed.
