Harry Potter: A Fan Fiction - Volume 1 Chapter 9 Preparations For School
“That is a 10 1/4 made from the rigid hornbeam wood with a dragon heartstring used for the core. A perfect fit for you as I see it.”
The old man tried to hide his inner feelings from Viktor but how can a man who lived a whole lifetime not notice it. Gregorovitch is curious about the wand but was afraid of acting against a house master.
‘Old fool it’s good that the head on top of your shoulders haven’t gone senile.’
Viktor didn’t have to wave the wand around to check his compatibility with the wand he was given, he could feel some sort of resonance between the wand and his magic, this is of course discounting the fact that it was the wand used by the original Viktor in the novel so all is well.
“15 galleons. There you go. Thank you very much mister Gregorovitch. Now I must go. Further preparations are in order. If you’ll excuse me…”
Viktor slightly bowed his head to express his ‘gratitude’ and left the shop.
“Golie let’s go.”
The two apparated and appeared inside Krum Manor. Viktor removed his clothes and asked the old elf Golie to prepare a bath for him as he became drenched in sweat due to the mysterious ring in his right hand.
“That old bag of bones Gregorovitch, thinking I could not see through his facade. Free ring my ass, it was never yours to begin with!”
‘I wonder where it came from. I’ll have to check it out and find out how it ticks.’
He headed towards the training ground in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the Manor where he practiced spells.
‘Bombarda!’
‘Bombarda!’
‘Bombarda!’
Viktor found it weird to always yell out the name of the spell one is about to cast and spared no effort to practice wandless and chantless.
‘My consumption is reduced by 50 percent with just the ring. I wonder if it stacks with the wand. No orb effects please. What the hell am I thinking?’
Viktor pulled his wand from its sheath.
“Bombarda maxima!”
“Bombarda maxima!”
“Bombarda maxima!”
‘Wow! 75 percent magic cost reduction. This makes me four times more efficient in my usage of magic, meaning I can cast more spells.’
“Master there news from the ship. It is about Subject 3975 from the Alpha series.”
“Alright we will leave after my bath prepare accordingly.”
Viktor came out 15 minutes later in his a.d.u.l.t form wearing his usual outfit, a pair of muggle sneakers, blue jeans and black shirt.
‘The traditional wizards are simply tasteless and rigid. In the end Grindelwald is correct in thinking about merging the muggle and magic worlds as the continuous development of muggle technology is very quick. It is only a matter of time before the two collides and it will be too late if they acted late. The muggles needs to be regulated and controlled to some extent.’
“Gillert Grindelwald…”
Somewhere in the Austrian Alps 1978.
“For the greater good.”
Viktor was standing in front of the Nurmengard castle gates gazing at the distant black tower who held one of the most notorious dark lord in Europe.
“The preparations are complete master.”
Golie appeared and reported with haste.
“Good, we have three seconds. Any more and the old fag Dumbledore might just bust our asses.”
Boom*
There was an explosion but no apparent damage to the highest tower of Nurmengard castle. A few shadow elves then channeled their magic and a spell was activated and the upper portion of the black tower was gone.
Swoosh*
Swoosh*
Swoosh*
People emerged at the gates of Nurmengard, slack jawed at what was in front of them.
“Albus, who do you think could have done this?”
Fudge, from the ministry of magic asked worriedly. It hasn’t been a decade from voldemort’s but now another foreboding event occurred.
“Hmmm I see…. A quick heist. What would you need from an old man like Grindelwald if not his knowledge of the dark arts. To answer your question Cornelius, I don’t have the faintest clue. Whoever it was he was able bypass the wards I placed and delay the triggering of the alarms. Then apparate with the upper quarter of the tallest and most sturdy tower.”
