Harry Potter: A Fan Fiction - Volume 1 Chapter 39 Freak Iii

It was more magical than he previously thought as he exclaimed inside his head with excitement. He believed that he have been away for like a quarter of the day but he returned and saw that only about ten minutes has passed ever since he entered the what ever this wall could be called that lead to Narko.

The next morning, he was let out of his solitary confinement to do his daily chores. His cousin Dudley is being spoon fed by aunt Petunia with chocolate pancakes while wearing some kind of weird baby apron and acting like a spoiled child. Well technically he is one. Seeing the pancakes, he suddenly remembered the food in the Gwarves place and his stomach rambled in anticipation for what is to come later when he revisited the place.

He quickly finished his chores and when he was about to reenter his suite his uncle Vernon stopped him to remind him of the coming school day. He was about to go to preschool, something he looked forward to as he was very rarely given the chance to go out to sightsee and learn the wonders of the world outside. A quiet retreat from his hell of a life.

He nodded to his squinting uncle who seems to be giving him the ‘I’ll be watching you’ look and entered the cupboard while cheering himself to looking forward to get out of this place.

Slipping on his overly loose winter outfit, he reentered the ‘magical wall’ and by relying on his memory of yesterday’s walk back to his room he finally arrived at his destination. It could be called a cave, but it has a wooden door blocking the entrance. Behind it is a majestic stone mountain with steep slopes and a peak so big that he could not make out how tall it is due to the thick clouds covering the upper portion of the mountain.

‘For such short people, they do have a large door.’

He grabbed the metal ring and knocked while thinking silly thoughts.

“Oh, good mornin’ Mr. Freak! Come. Come in. Bharat has been expecting you.”

He was led to the familiar entrance of the cave where balls of bright lights floated about at first he thought they were some kind of light bulbs like the ones they have at the Dursley’s but they seem to be moving somehow.

“Those are ‘Light orbs’, made by enchanting a glass ball permanently with Gather, Lumos, Levitation and other enchantments. You don’t have those in the muggle place where you come from right? Well, it’s not like most of the wizards have them too, it’s exclusive for master’s people only. We are very lucky to have been taken under the master’s wing you see.”

His eyes are once again shining at the mention of his so called ‘master’.

‘I wonder if I’ll ever get to meet him.’

“Oi…. Little Freak, are you ready to roll? Guro will surely spoil you till you are rolling like a pig. Hehe let’s go?”

Barath was wearing a black set of clothes that seems to be incapable of insulating much heat although he looked cleaner in it and much more ‘handsome’ according to a certain ‘freak’ who simply nodded at Barath’s arrangements.

“Is it okay for you to go out like that? I mean, won’t you be freezing like that?”

“Hahaha nope, these are given by the master made by the finest. I am unaffected by the heat or cold with this set of enchanted clothes.”

‘He has those eyes again as well.’

“Come along now Mr. Freak we can’t be missing out on our appointment. Guro is a very busy person.”

He walked towards a room with strange gates having spikes pointing inwards and a circular platform in the middle, it was decorated with strange markings and writings.

The two of them walked to the middle of the circular platform and paused slightly. Barath looked at Harry and winked at him with a pat in the back.

“Akademya!”

Bzzzt*

The whole room lit up and the writing glowed blue as the air became somewhat visible as firefly looking lights gathered and…

Uwaaak*

Waaak*

“There, there Freak. Its alright. Everyone was like that at first. Look we are here already.”

Perhaps the body disintegrated into atoms and was reconstructed someplace else? Turned into codes and reinterpreted by a receiver? Harry didn’t know he just felt like shit right now, but thanks to the back rub from Barath, he was able to feel much better.

Freak looked up feeling much better and was surprised to see a giant Disney looking castle in front of him. His imagination ran wild, thinking there’s talking lions and ginies from a magic lamp in there. Not like its impossible but…

“This is Akademya Castle, home to many children from all over the world where everyone can enjoy and learn. I heard that muggles have similar things called schools, but I bet whatever they have cannot compare with master’s gift. Let’s go. We have to walk. We’re not allowed to pop in and out anymore as it is better to be walking around in this place. ”

Harry the freak was gawking at everything he saw. Children are running and playing. Some are even doing magic tricks in his perception as they made objects float. Playing tag on a flying broomstick? Playing chess with moving pieces? Watching movies? Eating food of all kinds? It is a heaven for any child. No wonder Barath said walking is preferred around here.

“Here we are. Ahem.”

Knock*

knock*

knock*

Barath knocked on the door with ‘Headmaster’ plaque after fixing himself and clearing his throat.
