The Other Side of Darkness
Chapter One
Jinxed
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were walking along the street of Diagon Alley when they stopped in front of Florrish and Blotts. Harry turned and said
"Let's go and check out if they have anything interesting."
"Yeah I want to see if they have any books on jinxes." Ron said "I'll show Fred and George that they aren't the best tricksters"
"Ronald please using jinxes to get back at them is not the way to solve anything." Hermione interrupted
"Like you know anything about jinxes Hermione." Ron sneered
"Actually I know quite a few of them and I know they don't solve anything!" Hermione finished
"Well if you know so much why don't you show us?" asked Ron
"I think jinxes are a use of dark magic" replied Hermione
"Yeah I knew you were all talk" said Ron
Hermione's face was getting a look of anger as she pulled out her wand and aimed it at Ron's face and she shouted "Lingua engorgio!"
After a moment Ron began to say "Ha! I knew you didn't know any-"
He stopped talking and his tongue began to swell up and dangle out of his mouth.
"What have I done, hurry follow me Ron!" Hermione exclaimed
Harry I'll take him to St. Mungo's." she said
"Yeah I meet you there I just want to look around in here." Harry said as Hermione and Ron walked off
Harry started walking around looking at the book shelves and one book caught his eyes. It was called The History of Dark Magic and Ancient Curses by Omin Welshoo.
Harry took it off the shelf and opened it and looked through the first few page that talked about how dark magic began and the first dark lords and the development of their ancient curses and how Azkaban came to be built.
Harry found as he was skipping through a separate sheet of paper with a lot of word with a lot of cross outs and rewrites. Harry look at the words and next to the word were what effect they had.
There was a spell to remove your face and another spell to make you speak backwards. Harry checked to see if anyone was watching as he slipped the piece of parchment in his pocket.
