Harry Potter and the Numbers of Imagination

Chapter 2

5,000 Years Later

A group of wizards wearing all black robes found a huge slab of silver metal with a red rune written on the front side, just floating in a clearing of the Forbidden Forest.

In a radius of 5 kilometres, there was not a single tree left standing in this clearing, or any plants or animals at all. This huge silver slab must be real magical and really important ... the group knew that.

One of the cloaked figures got closer to the silver slab and rested their fingertips on its smooth surface and

BAM

they were gone, leaving only a bundle of clothes behind, falling into a neat, untidy pile.

The other wizards pulled out their wands and started making magical rings of light around the silver slab, and started to floating it away ... towards a well-known school for wizardry ... Hogwarts rising up against the rising sun beyond the forest.

I exclaimed angrily: "Defense? Bah! I only learn Offense Against the Dark Arts!" and threw the schoolbook across the room.

All my classmates were scared when that happened.

Professor Snake asked with glee: "Mister Potter, do you have a book you would rather have us learn instead?"

I reached into my bag and pulled out a thick grimoire.

I presented it and said proudly: "This classic by Abdul Alhazred of course!"

Professor Snake was amazed that I knew the works of Alhazred (though he had no reason to), and said glumly "You are right, that book would be much better to prepare you for the harsh life after school, but ..."

He looked around the class and said sinisterly "I fear your classmates would not be up to the task, considering what happened two years ago ..."

Of course, none of my classmates knew what happened two years ago, back then it was only Snake and me and ... I refused to think further about that dark and storm night ... the night my brother ...

Snake drooped his broad shoulders under the moonless night-black cloak and sighed "So, pick your book up Mister Potter, we will start the lesson again."

I reached out my hand and the book levitated into my hand again, flapping its pages like an angry bird.

I said with grimness in my voice "But you know Dean Dumbledore wants results! And it won't be enough to just give him all this simulated bullshit ... this way we won't be able to get her ready!"

Snake liked me, but he needed to play tough for the class, so he said with determination "That will be my problem. Now, children, open your books on page 117 ..."

I muttered under my breath "Your problem? Without her, it'll be everybody's problem ..."

Snake raised his magic wand and shouted "Hold on to your butts, children, I will open the GABA now!"

Magic swirls came out of his wand and my whole world got stretched to infinity and then waved back into the virtual magic world of the GABA dive.

This time, the environment was an urban landscape, devoid of any people but our little group of first-year Hogwarts students and Professor Snake. The tall buildings looked dilapidated in the light of the high noon sun, and cast deep shadows around them.

All my classmates were there, looking confused as if we didn't dive into this domain every week!

Snake pulled a camping chair out of his robe's sleeve, unfolded it, and sat down with a cocky smirk on his face.

He gestured towards me and command happily "Mister Potter, since you are the best student of this school, please take care of the simulation protocol this time. We should try to go up to page 120 ... if you can handle it."

I cracked my knuckles and told Snake with firm resolution: "Sure thing, Prof! Bring her in."

Snake waved his hand dismissively.

Had I missed the summon already!?

I heard a sultry woman's voice behind me: "Well then, Potter boy. How about we try again?"

I turned around to see a woman in her late twenties or early thirties, with blue skin and long dark hair and mean eyes glowing yellow out of the shade of the nearby building.

She was wearing loose purple trousers, boots, and a black undershirt. Slung around her shoulder hung a white and red long rifle, almost as tall as she was.

She was looking at me as if that was a test in itself.

I put up my sunglasses and said brimming with confidence of my heritage,

"Oh hi, Shadowbreaker!"
