Harry Potter – The New Dawn - Chapter 12

While I was thinking why our community was hiding I heard. ”I know what are you thinking little bear. Wait till I finish then you can make any question you have”. Suddenly the image change again showing mulplite parts of the world.

”As I was saying this powerfull wizards were so integrated on the muggle community that they tought they were gods. This wizards made two types of new rituals. Blood and flesh. The blood ritual is the one where a wizard absord the essence of the magic of a creature and fuse it in their blood”

I could see some wizards controlling the elements, shapeshifting, even flying. What caught my attention were the magicians who used lightning. I remenber a lot of their histories and legends. The image shift again and this time I could see some half animal wizards.

”And second the flesh ritual. The one where a wizard takes one of the organ of the creature and replace his with these”. I could see some desert and jungles where this half animal wizards where terraforming all the environment.”As you can see they abilities where similar but different at the same time. Sadly this golden age for the wizard world didn’t last long becouse at the time this rituals were not regulated and depended entirely on the wizard who performed them”

Now I could see two beasts. Then I heard my great grandfather asking me.”Can you recognize these beasts?”. I easily recognize one of then but the other I was not sure which one it was. So I said.”One of them is a manticore but the other I’m not so sure”. My great grandfather then smile and said.

”Indead one of the is a manticore and the second one is a quintaped. Awful creatures both of them and really dangerous too. I’m sure you wondering why I’m showing you this. And the answer is really simple. This is what happen when either the blood or flesh rituals fail”. This hit me hard no wonder the magical ministry tried to ban this rituals.

”You see the first manticore was born in greece. When a whole family used multiple creature organs in a flesh ritual. Their bodies couldn’t take this massive change and degenerated to what is know as a manticore. Only reason their ritual fail was becouse they where greedy and try to use different creatures”. So using multiple creatures on a flesh ritual can be dangerous. I must remenber this.

”While the manticore can be talk to most of the time they will ignore you and try to hunt you. Lucky there are few of them. Now the quintaped. This is what happen with a blood ritual fails. They where born at the isle of Drear. The MacBoon clan and the McClivert clan where fighting for the control of the isle. You must know that this isle was a paradise it have many magical creatures and plants. And it was the perfect place to make a new ancestral home.”

”The MacBoon clan was losing so they rushed the new blood ritual that their whole clan would start using to rise. But it fail in a terrible way. They become quintapeds. Devouring the McClivert clan and destroying the ecosystem of the isle. Lucky the noble Scottish families acted on time. And the quintapeds were confined on the isle. You will see some books saying that they tried to untransfigure this creatures. But that is imposible only they can undone what they did to themself”

”What they are actually trying to do is discover what did they use for the ritual. The creature from where this essence was extracted could be a danger way worse than the quintapeds”. I could no longer wait so I asked my great grandfather.

”If this rituals can be so dangerous why noble families still exist? Why the wizard are hidding?” My great grandfather sigh and then said to me.

”Becouse without ritual families humanity would go extinct. You see the dangerous creatures wizard fight daily so they don’t attack are not the real dangerous ones. The real dangerous ones no longer attack us becouse they can see the magic concentration and the quality of it. They know that if they attack us. They will get hunted back. Facing more danger that is worth it for some food”

”And for your second question the true is. The wizard are not hiden at all. Only here on England were we oppressed to hide”
