Chapter 09
Reviews:
TwinstarDragon: thanks. You're welcome. You put "loke" instead of "like", and you misspelled "wielder". For reference: "loke" is the norse god of mischief and lies.
I already had the core for harry's wand figured out, but it took a few days of researching to figure out the right wood to use.
Here's the next chapter
Previously:
"I wonder…" olivander said. He took the wand out of the box, and presented it to harry, only for the wand to BLAST the window out. "Odd, dumbledore seemed rather INSISTENT that it would be that wand. No matter. Since you cleared out my stock, with none of them being a match, i supposed we'll have to do a custom order," he said in a happy tone.
Now:
Olivander pulled out several woods, and laid them in a line. "Young man, focus some of your magic into your hand, then slowly go over the line, your hand above the woods i've selected," said ollivander.
Harry did as asked. Some felt cold. Some felt lukewarm. Until he got to two different woods, right next to each other. "Cherry and ebony woods. You are going to make this a CHALLENGE, mister potter," ollivander said with cheer. Ollivander then put the other woods away, while leaving out the cherry and ebony. He then brought out a mass of items. "These are wand cores, mister potter. Please use the same process as the wood," he requested.
Harry did so. Most of the items were the same as the woods, either cold, or lukewarm. Until he got to the end. He felt two cores become HOT.
Ollivander pulled out the cores. "Basilisk venom and threstral tail hair?" if possible, ollivander looked even MORE excited. Mister potter, this wand will be VERY powerful. It will prefer combative transfiguration and it will not shy away from healing. Mr. potter, this will be the wand of a survivor and a leader," ollivander said. "Come back in three hours, mister potter, it should be done by then," ollivander said.
And so, harry decided to meditate for the time needed. In his mindscape, sabakinoryu and shubi no usagi had a spar for three hours. Once the three hours were up, he left his mindscape and stood up.
"Ah, right on time, mister potter. Out of curiosity, what were you doing for three hours?" ollivander asked.
"I was meditating, mr. ollivander," harry said.
"I see," ollivander said. He then presented the newly crafted wand to harry. "Cherry and ebony woods, 13 inches, with the venom of a basilisk and threstral tail hair," ollivander presented the wand.
Harry took the wand and felt a veritable SURGE of warmth. Harry raised his new wand, and waved it down. The result, the giant mess that was created from his earlier attempts, as well as the centuries' worth of dust was cleaned in an instant.
Ollivander smiled. "Thank you, mister potter. For giving me the greatest challenge i've had in years, and for cleaning my shop," he said.
"You're welcome, mister ollivander," harry said.
Timeskip, on the hogwarts express
Yuki, harry's owl decided to fly to the school, and nyx, the black mamba, decided to hide in harry's clothes, as harry had a rather nice body heat for him.
Meanwhile, harry boarded the train, and found an empty compartment. After he sat down, he pulled out a book in japanese, and started to read. after a few minutes, the train started to move.
After about an hour, someone knocked on his door, causing harry to look up from his book with a rather annoyed look on his face. "Can i help you?" harry asked in a testy tone.
"Um, sorry, but can i sit here? Everywhere else is full" the boy, who had red hair, nervously asked.
"It's impossible for the train to not have enough seats," harry retorted. "The train magically adds enough carts to compensate for new student every year. Therefore, your request is FLAWED," harry said.
"Great, a bookworm. I'll just leave. I'm looking for harry potter, as he IS my future best friend," the boy said, before he left.
"Good thing i didn't tell him my name. Otherwise he would have NEVER left me alone," harry said.
§yes, master. A VERY good thing. He seemed like the type that would judge things before knowing them§ nyx said.
§i agree, nyx. He also looks like the type that would get jealous easy§ harry said.
§not to mention a glutton§ said nyx.
§true,§ harry conceded.
Just then, the compartment door opened, causing harry and nyx to look over. Thankfully, it wasn't the redhead that they were insulting. Instead, it was a bushy headed girl with another boy, that had tear stains falling down his eyes. "Have you seen a toad? Neville here's lost his," the girl asked.
"No, i haven't," harry said, before he took out his wand, pulled out an old shirt of his of his trunk and transfigured it into an aquarium-like tank. He then conjured stones and pieces of land, then filled it with water.
"Wow," the bushy-haired girl said. However, before she could question harry, harry said a spell: "accio trevor the toad."
It took a couple of minutes, but trevor was now in harry's hand. However, before trevor could try to escape again, harry put trevor into the tank he made. Trevor immediately calmed down.
Harry then charmed the tank to be unbreakable, before handing it to the boy, "here you go. He was most likely looking for a damp place to be, since toads require moisture in order to avoid drying out," harry said.
"Thanks for your help," the boy, neville, said.
Just before the bushy-haired girl could begin her interrogation, harry interrupted her. "Before you ask, miss, i simply read ahead, and have almost the entire curriculum for the seven years memorized," harry said.
The girl was dumbfounded, as was the boy.
The entrance, a bit before the sorting
Most of the children were scared that ghosts started appearing. As the were talking, some of them noticed harry.
The reaction of the ghosts?
Most of them fled.
Except for one.
"Excuse me, sir, might i trouble you for a bit of your time?" the ghost asked.
"Who are you?" harry asked.
"I'm sir nicholas, resident ghost of gryffindor tower," sir nicholas introduced himself.
"I would like to speak with you, but i believe that the sorting is about to begin. How about we speak after the sorting?" harry proposed to sir nicholas.
"That works," sir nicholas agreed. Then sir nicholas left.
"We're ready for you all," minerva said.
The sorting goes as book 1 of the HP series goes, up to harry's.
"Harry potter?" minerva called out. The hall went quieter than a tomb.
Harry went to the stool, and sat down.
Suddenly, harry was pulled into his mindscape.
Harry's mindscape
Harry sees sabakinoryu pinning someone new to the ground, growling. "Who are you?" harry asked.
"I'm the spirit of the sorting hat, young man," the spirit said.
"Why are you here?" harry asked.
"I need to go to your memories, so i can figure out where you'll best fit," the spirit explained.
"Alright. You can release him, sabakinoryu," harry said.
Sabakinoryu reluctantly released the spirit.
"Thank you, young man," the spirit thanked him. "Where are the memories?" the spirit asked.
Harry guided him to where the memories are. "They're through this door," harry said. So, the spirit entered.
After about five minutes, the hat left the room. "Thank you, young man. I've seen all i need to," the spirit thanked him, then the spirit left.
To which, harry left, as well.
"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat called out.
That table let out the loudest cheers for the night. "We got potter, we got potter," a pair of red headed twins called out.
"Ronald weasley," minerva called out.
A few minutes after ronald sat onto the stool, the hat called out something unexpected.
