Chapter 29

Practice Makes Perfect

Notes: I apologize taking so long to update the story. Kind of busy and do not have enough idea. But, I will try my best. Thank you.

I walked slowly towards the Room of Requirement thinking about what I saw in Mirror of Erised. I am not sure it is a good idea to tell Professor Snape about sharingan. He might keep asking question non-stop. What a troublesome. I pace in front of the wall three times. 'I need a place to practice' I thought. I entered the room.

The first thing I need to do is to practice my limit about chidori and rasengan. I gathered a lot of chakra in my left hand. Chi. Chi. Chi.

After 5 times, I already felt my chakra drained at dangerous level. I sat on the floor and drank apple juice provided by a hogwarts elf. Gulp. Gulp. I wiped sweated from my forehead. I rest about 20 minutes before trying my limit about rasengan.

Snape POV

I feel a little bit worried about Ethan. I had a feeling that he's hiding something from me but I did not want to pressure him. I pinched my nose. I hope that he obey my rules because I really want to avoid from punishing him. The hissing sound alert me about my potions. I sighed seeing my potions.

End Snape POV

It seems I can only did rasengan 3 times. What a troublesome. I run 3 laps around the room before practicing spells. I threw every spells that I knew towards that Dummy.

"Langlock!"

"Stupefy!"

"Expulso!"

Slash! Blood flows from my left cheeks. I stop for a while to take a deep breath before moving to the left to avoid getting hit. But it seems that I am not fast enough and end up falling down.

It seems I need to move faster to avoid getting hit. I sighed. What a troublesome.

I kept practicing until I fall on my back. I got up from the floor and walked out from Room of Requirements for dinner. I walked towards Gryffindor table.

"Hi, Harry!" He greeted me back. My lips curls seeing Weasley.

"Weasley. Always eat like a pig." I smirked at him.

"Oh, shut up snake! No one ask you opinion." Weasley said with a full mouth.

"My, my. What a nice insult." I smirked. I am surprise that his head does not explode due to anger. Hehe.

"Guys." Harry tried to interrupt us from getting into the fight. I raised my hand showing surrender. I chose to sit besides Harry which unfortunately means that Weasley was sitting in front of Harry and I. I place the chicken wings and some vegetables on my plate.

"I can't wait for the holiday to end." Harry and Weasley looked at me like I just lost my brain somewhere. I did not felt offended because who likes attending the class.

"Are you crazy? Only you and Granger will say like that!" Weasley said, half yelled at me. Harry told Weasley to slow his voice because some of the students looked at us.

"You know Weasley, you should said it louder." I mocked at him. His fave turned really red. Weasley glared at me and continues to eat like I did not exist.

"So, Harry. Have you finish all your assignment?" I asked, eating mushroom soup.

"Not yet. Maybe later." Harry said before changing the subject to Quidditch. Weasley quickly interject our conversation. After dinner, I went to my room at Snape Quarters. It seems that Professor Snape were not here. Maybe at lab? Who knows. I went to my room at put silent spells. I sat on my bed to meditate for 10 minutes to improve my occlumency.

Snape POV

I should talk with Ethan to see if he needs any help regarding his problem. I hope he will tell me his secrets because I am worry if it is dangerous.

End Snape POV

After meditating, I chose one books about Dark Arts to read without realising that Professor Snape was on his way to my room.

What an interesting book. I thought. I was so focus on my book that I did not heard my door was opened.

"Ethan!" I jumped and turned my head to the door.

"Uncle sev!" I half yelled due to shock. I quickly close my book and put it away from his eyes. I am not sure if he managed to read the title or not. I hope not.

I saw Professor Snape frowned seeing my action and walked towards me.

"What type of book you just read?" Professor Snape asked me. I gulped, nervous radiating from my body.

"Ha. It just a book of fairy tales." I rubbed my back neck, smiling sheepishly at him. He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Did it?" He looked at me. I looked past his shoulder, not meeting his eyes.

"Look at me!" He ordered. I met his eyes.

"What book is that about? Don't lie." I winced at his tone.

"Dark Arts: Strong and Accurate ." I said softly. I flinched a bit seeing his expression turn angry.

"Excuse me? Care to repeat that?" He said with hard voice. I said the title book again and saw he pinch his nose.

"Where is the book?" He demand and I showed it to him.

"I am afraid that I need to take it." I tried to protest but He raised his hand at me and said that it is not a debate. I nodded.

"I don't like you get involve too much on the dark arts. If you really want to learn it, come to me so I will know what to teach you. If you focus on the dark arts withoit guidance, you might get addicted." He explained to me with a firm voice.

"Why don't you prepare for shower and then go to sleep?" I quickly did as he said.

"Goodnight, Ethan." He tucked me and kissed my forehead. I am glad that Professor Snape is my uncle. Hehe.

"Night, uncle sev and sorry." I said and yawned. He just smile at me, ruffling my hair.

Notes: Thanks for supporting me.
