HARRY POTTER:Start again System

Chapter 17: CH 17



'Huh,' Harry muttered, looking around confused and dazed. He was on the roof of the school building. Looking down the ledge into the alleyway he was just in, he saw Dudley and his friends staring at the spot he was in with shock.

"What in the world just happened?" Harry whispered.

Apparition Lv-1 (54%)

Destination, Determination, and Deliberation. Apparition is a magical method of transportation and is basically the magical action of traveling by having the user focus on the desired location in their mind. It is by far the fastest way to get to one's desired destination, but is tricky to pull off correctly and disastrous if botched up.

"Oh," Harry muttered as he read through the description. He was quite lucky he didn't 'botch it' as the description put it. But this was an amazing skill.

Harry was marveling at the jackpot he'd hit when he heard numerous pops near the entrance of the school. He turned around and caught sight of two men appearing out of nowhere. Eyes widening, he quickly ducked behind a chimney to see what was going on. Luckily, they seemed to be just as callous about lowering their voices around people as the last set of wizards he had encountered in his school. He could hear them clearly as they spoke.

"All right Stephens, get to it. It's an easy job, just a bunch of kids. Even the playground monitor guy is sleeping. I want to see you handle yourself well. Blending in with muggles is a useful skill. Keep your training in mind, and don't forget that field tests like this will determine your future as an Obliviator. Now, are you ready to begin?"

"Yes, sir," Stephens said as he pulled out his wand.

"Good. Be careful with the kids. Erase only as much as necessary, they'll chalk the rest up to their imagination. And don't bother finding the source. It was probably some muggleborn getting scared or something." The older looking man, a Jonathon Mertickle who had an astounding level of 38, said.

Harry watched silently as Stephens quickly pointed his wand at each of the kids one by one and intoned "Obliviate". The kids each then stilled for a brief second, and then went about playing like nothing had ever happened.

'This is the same thing that man…Miss Roemmele's friend from that day said after he said all that stuff about me not remembering anything that had happened,' Harry remembered with vindication. He knew that the magic had something to do with erasing memories.

But then he stilled.

So did that mean that weird stuff like this had always happened around him, and every time it had, someone had come and erased his memories? Harry felt a bit sick at the thought.

The two men soon finished their memory erasing and met back up near the gates again.

"Good job kid. Now let's get back to the ministry. Bagman owes me some Quidditch League passes. Wanna tag along?"

"Heck yeah boss." The younger man said enthusiastically as they both turned on the spot and vanished.

Harry had barely started to understand what he'd just witnessed when he heard the class bell ring. Quickly checking and seeing all of his classmates on the field, Harry dropped down onto the ledge of his classroom window, and with some effort, climbed into the classroom. Checking that no one had seen him, he quickly went and sat down in his seat.

As he doodled on his notebook during class, he thought about what he had seen, arriving at a conclusion.

Wizards seemed to have a very neat and efficient system that they used to cover stuff up in case someone, child or otherwise, did magic out in public. That seemed to be how they hid their existence from the rest of the world. And that meant that he couldn't just use up large amounts of magic out in public without someone somewhere knowing about it and coming for him.

One thing was for sure. He was being watched in ways he couldn't even comprehend.

Throughout the remaining school time and on the way back home, Harry had maintained a tiny flickering flame in his hand, constantly changing its color to make sure that his skills were being constantly honed and bettered. There was a lot to be improved about his accidental magic skill before he could use it as well as he intended to, but level ups would certainly help him get there.

He'd gotten two level ups by the end of his walk. And the factor of randomness in the use of his skill was going down! Harry smiled. He finally knew how he was going to grow stronger. Practicing day after day, one step at a time, strength would come to him. He couldn't help but wonder what would happen when the randomness factor would reach zero.

Just as he was getting close to home, another notification gave him a pleasant surprise.

Ping!

Due to constant usage of Mana and constant Mana regeneration, 1 to Int and Wis.

This seemed to be only getting better and better. It seemed as if studying and making wise choices weren't the only ways to train Int and Wis.
