New Dawn – A Harry Potter Transmigration Fanfic - Chapter 146

Alecto mȯȧnėd and woke up from her sleep as she felt the two horns protruding from her forehead brushed against the mattress.

It has been two months since she got these horns thanks to the experiments done on her by that masked person and she had long since gotten used to having them as a part of her body.

She was not a pretty girl so of thought of the horns diminishing her beauty never even occurred to her.

Still, she couldn’t see the purpose behind them.

The masked boy had continuously asked if she saw or sensed anything around her after creating those horns in her head and had been rather disappointed once she told him that she didn’t saw or felt any different.

At least the boy didn’t torture her as long as she told him the truth.

After initially putting those horns in her head, he had done countless changes in it but she still couldn’t see what he was trying to achieve from creating those horns.

After continuous failures for a few weeks, the boy had finally ran out of ideas and had left the horn in her head as a last resort in order to see if there will be any changes if the horns stayed there for a longer period of time.

That was two months ago and she had not seen him since then.

After talking with the other death eaters living the cells beside her, she knew that they also had horns jutting out of their heads by now.

Each and everyone of them had a different kind of horn in their heads.

Her own twin brother had a single half foot long black horn jutting out from the middle of her forehead.

Thankfully, the horn was not very heavy otherwise he would be having neck aches everyday.

The masked boy had definitely not sought practicality when he created the horn on her brother’s head.

She nuzzled in her bed in order to get more comfortable when she felt her horns scrape against the mattress once again and she froze as the realization dawned upon her that she was able to feel the horn in her head.

She raised her hands and touched the horns in her head and was surprised when she found that her horns were rather sėnsɨtɨvė to the touch.

She giggled at the ticklish feeling that she felt when touching her horns before she let out a sigh, realizing that she would not be getting any more sleep for the time being.

She was a curious person and she would not be able to rest until she found out the reason behind the change in her horns.

So she opened her eyes and got up from the bed and froze at what she saw.

The dark and cold prison cell she’d been living in for the past few months had not changed at all.

But now she could see faint shining particles in the air in the prison cell.

As if there was mist in the room. Except that mist didn’t shine like how this did.

She moved her hand around and the shining particles reacted to her touch by moving with a ripple like patter as is she had just dipped her hand in the water.

Like how when you drop a stone in a muddy water and the ripple stop shortly after a few inches because of the density of the mud.

She wondered what the light particles were and if this was what the masked boy had been after the whole time.

She looked around in the prison and her eyes widened at what she saw.

Everything in the prison shone with the light that she was saw floating in the air.

The prison walls had the largest amount of light in them. The mattress held a little bit of the light in it as well. And so did her clothes.

The loaf of bread and bottle of water she received yesterday contained negligible amount of the light particles.

She could only guess that whatever that white light was, it seeped into the things kept around it over time.

Maybe if she didn’t ate the loaf of bread and kept it like that in the corner, then more of the white light particles will seep into it?

She also saw a lot of writings in the prison that she had never seen before with her eyes. But now the writings were illuminated brightly in front of her and she was clearly able to read everything in the walls despite the shiny background.

It didn’t take her long to come to the conclusion that the writing was some kind of Runes.

She had not studied Ancient Runes when she was a student here in Hogwarts but she knew that Runes were not supposed to be written in English.

But these runes were written in English.

Well, not totally English as there were many Runic characters in between those English words but that didn’t remove the strange feeling in her heart.

She had no idea that Runes could be written like this and could only guess that these Runes were either written by a noob or an expert.

And judging by the expert wandless control that the masked boy had, she would guess that it was the latter instead of the former.

There were also strange magical circles in the walls that thrummed with power and gave off different magical signatures.

If the writing on the wall was runes, then she guessed that these magical signatures must be the Charms placed in the walls.

She then moved on to the bars on her cell and realized that every single bar had a few runes and charms placed on them.

She didn’t knew that those runes or the charms did but she could guess that they must have been there to stop her from escaping.

Whoever created these prison cells had put a surprisingly large amount of effort and time in it to make sure that she and the rest of her death eater companions don’t escape.

Well, that was bad news for her because it meant that she had little chance of escaping the prison.

Not that she had much hope of escaping to begin with.

But none of these things surprised her as much as she when she looked at her bȧrė hands and found them filled to the brim with the same white light that was everywhere around her.

She was a smart person so she had already guessed that the white light particles must be magic particles.

The question was, could she control them.

She gazed at the white particles in front of her and willed them to move while transferring all the power she could in her hands.

And they moved.

Author’s Note:- Yup, Harry’s project to gain mage sight by replicating Selen’s horns and putting them on humans that he thought had failed had finally shown some results.

Still, he doesn’t know about that just yet.

And if Alecto is smart and uses this to her advantage, then she might be able to escape without Harry realizing that his experiment had succeeded.

What do you guys think will happen? Will Alecto escape with her brother or will Harry find out?
