HP: I Have "Pure" Magic

After buying the map, I went to the room of requirements. In there, I started making preparations for the chamber of secrets. Well, I had to start it now, since I can't really rest easy hoping that no one has the Diary. It's better to assume that someone already has it and prepare accordingly.

The very first thing I did was,

"Serpensortia." I summoned a snake.

This is the first and foremost thing I needed to do. To summon a snake.

"Sssssssss!"

"Well damn." I muttered while backing away.

I had summoned a f*cking cobra on my first try. It was about 3 metres long, with a brown body, with white patterns. as it landed on the floor with a thud and began examining his surroundings while flicking it's tongue.

'Lets get started.'

Concentrating on snake, I opened my mouth and said,

"Hi - I - am - Chris. I'm - not - going - to - attack -you." I said slowly. The snake turned it's head towards me and it looked like it was preparing to attack me.

I frowned. Did it not work? I turned to Nyxie, "Hey did I speak a different language just now?" I asked her.

Nyxie tilted her head and looked at me,

"Mew?"

(Is something wrong with your head??)

"...."

Alright, I can't normally speak parseltongue. But... I still have a hope! This time, I concentrated a lot and entered my dragon transformation. I looked at the cobra which was all coiled up, read to attack me and open my mouth—

"Aaah-Haa-Hasseey-Sssseytha-Ssss-Hathehhh-Ssseyaa-Ayaeeh-Seyytha-Ehhh-Esseytha-Ssss"

This time, the snake began spreading its neck-flap, raising its head upright, puffing, and hissing.

"...."

I couldn't understand a word it was saying.

Needless to say, I don't know jackshit about what I said earlier. I was just trying to produce hissing noises similar how I once saw Harry do. I just ended up making an even bigger fool of myself in front of Nyxie.

Sighing, I vanished the snake sat back down on the couch. I don't know what I was expecting. I just thought that since dragons and snakes are both reptiles, there's a chance that I'd be able to talk to snakes. But well, it's understandable that it didn't work. Even humans can't understand monkeys or chimpanzees even though they're quite similar.

I punched my fist. There goes my plan of keeping a giant Basilisk in my backyard. It obviously won't work. I was even planning on showing my giant Basilisk to Dora.

...Dirty jokes aside, she actually likes snakes. Snakes and rabbits. Isn't she unique?

She has said multiple times that she'd totally have tried to go into Slytherin if her parents hadn't talked her out of it. Dora's Patronus is a rabbit so she apparently likes rabbits more though. Maybe because snakes are usually associated with the Slytherin house. And she hates Slytherin house.

Though the subject of Dragons is a bit complicated due to Charlie Weasley. She does like Nyxie, though Nyxie doesn't seem to like her back for some reason. But over the months, she had somehow managed to make her presence tolerable to Nyxie.

Anyways, I'll need to think about some other ways to deal with the Chamber of Secrets. Man, I knew this wasn't gonna end so easily. But whatever, right now I need to go to my family.

I took out the Vanishing Cabinet from my Newt-case. I don't wanna leave it in the room of requirements. If anyone somehow finds it, they'll have direct access to my home. And Though I've warned my family members against stepping into it, but in case someone does mistakenly enters, they'll still be fine since Newt-case is habitable. That's why I haven't put in a normal extendable pocket.

I entered it and came out on other side in my room — no wait — This isn't my room, it's Esmée's!

As I looked around, I saw Esmée sitting at her study table, trying to study while Camille helped her while sitting beside her. Both hadn't noticed my presence.

"Ahem, ahem," I cleared my throat.

Esmée and mom both turned their head and both smiled joyfully when they saw me and I also felt glad that my presence can make them so happy.

I hugged them both and got a kiss on both cheek. "Honey, thank Merlin you're back. This little devil has been driving us mad since morning!" said Camille while tapping ruffling Esmée her.

"Oh really? Was Esmée not a good girl while I was gone?" I asked Esmée, who was sitting in my lap.

Esmée hid her head in my school robes and peeked thorough the gap. "No." She murmured quietly.

I melted and mom also chuckled, "She's acting all innocent now. She was so restless earlier that she made us place the Vanishing Cabinet into her room. And she even had lunch and dinner here!" she said helplessly.

"Maman!" Esmée protested embarrassedly.

"Don't be embarrassed. Esmée is a good girl." I said while brushing her head and Esmée went back to hugged me.

"Where's dad?" I asked.

Camille rolled her eyes. "Your dad's in the study, doing ministry paperwork."

Well, I'll meet him later. I need to ask him about some things.

I poked Esmée's cheek. "So, how's little Esmée doing these days? Do you properly miss your big brother?"

Esmée turned shy and mom answered in her stead, "She's doing just fine. Spends the whole day with Gabrielle. But she was a bit lonely today, since the Delacours had gone to visit Fleur today."

Well, now I feel guilty for coming late. "Oh well, no problem. Big brother is here now. So, what were you studying just now?"

"It is ma-gic theory." said Esmée seriously.

"Oh... but isn't it boring without a wand?" I asked. I genuinely thought it to be boring if you can't actually test it out. That's why I didn't like most of my muggle subjects. And that's why I love magic.

Esmée's face went into a downward (

That's every magical child's sore spot. They're not allowed wands, and there are many reasons for that. And the main one, which I only found out later is that — they shouldn't do magic at that age. They have so little magic that it actually might damage their core if they accidentally put too much magic power.

But some pureblood families still allow their to use wands for practice when they're a bit older under strict supervision. Like a few spells a day. There's a mixed opinion about whether it's good or bad for the child.

But well, I have a way help her learn magic without any risks.

"Esmée, would you like to try doing magic?" I asked, and Esmée eyes shined.

Camille made a troubled face as she denied it. "No honey, Esmée isn't old enough yet."

"Mom, I have a way." I said as I took out a wand encrusted with different types precious gems and stones. "See this wand? It's quite unique. I can store my magic in it." I said. And both sheilas' eye got glued to the beautiful wand. It had smooth and shiny metallic body made of an alloy of gold, silver and a few other magic conducting metals with many tiny runes inscribed into it.

And the jewels and stones embedded in it shined with different colours showing that it was actually fully charged. I had charged it for emergency, if I became like Sasuke of Boruto series and ran out of magic. This was a similar model as the one that's in my secret basement.

"H-Honey... where did you get that wand from?" asked Camille, not taking her eyes off it.

"The same place I got all those jeweleries and ornaments from. Didn't I tell you? Hogwarts is quite a mysterious and unexplored place. You might get lost in the endless passages and find yourself into a room full of treasures if you're lucky." I smiled.

Camille nodded in understanding. I had given all of them, especially Esmée those Jewelry that I gave to the Tonks family.

Those jewelries or ornaments are made to store pure magic. Though they have many benefits, it's really most useful for the occlumency. And Esmée needs to quickly have occlumency. Currently, she's not making eye contact with any stranger. And I especially warned her to not even be in the same room as that minister. He's one sus dude.

I handed the wand over to Camille, who took it into her hands with shaky fingers.

"Try it, mom. Though it's bonded to me, but I think you can also use it to some degree, since we have a blood relation."

"Woah, it feels sooo good." Camille muttered out aloud. Well it was filled with pure magic. Some of it will inevitably be transferred to her. And pure magic always makes the body feel quite relaxed. Whenever I can't sleep, I activate the trigger for a few seconds.

Camille held the wand out and bright light bursted out of it. And her jaw fell open.

"It was just a Lumos!" She exclaimed.

"Yeah well, you're using your own magic as well. Just use the stored magic, mom." I pointed out. I think she'll figure it out with just this much.

She did a Lumos again and this time, the wand glowed normally.

"Wow. It's so much easier to do magic with it..." She muttered.

'Well, if it's made from materials that are enough to buy the whole Ollivander shop. Of course it'll be easier to cast magic with it.' I thought inwardly. Though all the material is actually stolen from rich muggles. Though, needless to say, only I can make it. Like my magic casting, my rune carving is also unique, but that's a story of another time. And of course, sensing magic helps me in figuring out the best ratios in alloys and best sequences in runes.

It's quite funny really. Just how much I can abuse my simple ability to sense magic in this world. It can even be a meme!

God to a random soon to be reincarnator: I'll reincarnate you to a Harry Potter world.

Reincarnator: What are my golden fingers??

God: You'll be able to sense magic, And that too, only the magic that you're in direct contact with.

Reincarnator: Wtf! What kind of shitty power is that?! What can I even do with it?! This power doesn't seem like much.

God sighed in extreme exasperation.

"Well, say this to the dude who became a f*cking God with just this."

While I was lost in thought, I felt a tug on clothes and saw that was looking at me impatiently. I turned around to see that mom was still playing with the wand.

I sighed, "Madame Martin, it's not a toy and you're not a kid. Let Esmée try it, please."

"Oh." Camille smiled embarrassedly as she quickly handed the wand over to Esmée.

Esmée giddily took the wand in her hands and tried to do magic for the very first time.

"Lumos!" She said, while doing the wand motion.

And there was a little spark but it quickly went out. Well, magic is not that easy for kids. Even I could only do it so easily during my first time because I could sense it and call it forward easily and also had an adult mind.

Esmée got a bit sad that it didn't work on the first try.

I patted her head. "Don't be disappointed, Esmée. It was very good for your first try. The incantation and wand movement were perfect. You just need to train your intent. Then I'll teach you the minor details which will help you cast more complicated spells." I entered teacher. Taking out my wand, I cut down all the lights in the room, plunging us into darkness.

Esmée got tense by the sudden darkness and put a hand on her shoulder. "Now Esmée, try the spell again, to create light in this dark room." This is the easiest way to make her realize the effect of intent.

"Lumos." She said, and the wand tip glowed bright, making three faces dimly visible to me.

"Yeah! You did it, Esm—" wait a second, three? There were two other faces here.

"Aaaaaaa!" Camille screamed and fire a purple spell at the fourth silhouette. Camille without her occlumency shields activite is quite lively, huh? (Why the hell would she keep them on when she's happily spending time with her kids? It dampens your emotions.)

The silhouette casted a shield and his face became fully visible. Ah, it's just Durant.

Really man, with ghosts and spirits being real in this world, you can't really be sure all the time.

On the next Monday,

after classes, I asked Harry how to say "Open", "Close" , "Stairs" , etc in Parseltongue. I have high hopes of it working, since Ron did it in canon.

It's time I paid the chamber of secrets a visit.
