He pointed his wand at a random guy from the hunters pavilion for a second and the man burst into blood mist.
"I do not belong to your hunter's pavilion. Which means I can switch sides easily. You're not the only one who can use blood magic and also, while you specialise in blood magic alone, I have various other methods that can be used for mass killing.
I think I have about a thousand of these ropes which should be enough for me to fight you all on my own. Your blood mist won't work on me since I know how to defend against it. More like, I can make sure that it doesn't even affect me."
Han grit his teeth in frustration as he knew that he could do nothing to the short kid who stood in front of him. But something deep inside him prevented him from backing down.
"I'll show you how to respect your elders, kid." Said Han as he pointed his sword at Alex before he rushed forwards.
Red coloured slashes flew at Alex before they simply dispersed into particles when they reached a certain range.
Alex controlled one rope to tightly twirl around the blade, rendering Han's attacks worthless. A few seconds later, Han fell face first onto the ground as two ropes had emerged from the ground and twirled around his ancles tightly. Han looked down at his ankles and punched the ground in frustration before even his hands were restrained.
Alex crouched down and lightly patted his chin.
"Old man, you use killing as a means to an end. There is no passion in the way you kill… its very disappointing. I'd love to show you the art of killing but I don't deem you worthy."
***************
A few hours had passed and Alex stared at the long piece of jade that the patriarch of Azure Dragon had placed in front of him.
"You can go now. Han and his group won't target you… at least for a day. I cannot guarantee your safety after I leave."
"I understand. There won't be any problems from him as we have ways to defend ourselves in our home turf."
Alex nodded and looked at old man Ling, "Hand over all the tokens."
"Here you go, young master." He said as gave him a large bag that was filled with jade tokens.
Alex put them all inside one of his rings before he walked into the pavilion where Han was tied up along with his subordinates.
"The chains will turn back into whatever they were before I transfigured them after approximately a day. After that, I don't care what you do. Where's the lady who was at the counter?"
"She died in the fight before…" said one of the guys sitting on the floor.
"I want to go back. Tell me where the port key is."
One of the maids took a step forward, "Young master, please follow me."
Alex nodded and followed her as she asked him to until they reached a large cupboard. She opened the door and there was only one broken clock in one of the shelves.
"Young master can go back if you take this."
Alex didn't reply and simply held the clock. A second later, was standing in the familiar hall of the Hunters Den. He headed over to the counter and asked for a portkey to the transporter before he headed back home.
There were three more days left until Hogwarts reopened so for all those three days, he sat in one place and tried to use up all the jade tokens. Unfortunately for him, three days weren't enough even though he skipped sleep.
With thick dark circles under his eyes, he headed to kings cross and slept in the train until the bushy haired Gryffindor woke him up.
"Thank you." She said and before he could even say a thing, she was off.
"What the hell happened to her?" he muttered before he yawned.
'Hmm… well, I guess I should have expected her to do this since that's how she usually works.'
He was still tired and his whole body hurt, but all he could do right now was to stand up and get into the castle with his luggage. He headed directly to his dormitory and shoved his luggage under the bed before he jumped over the mattress with his socks on.
Aman stared at him from the top bunker before whispering to himself, "Bro… that's my spot… you promised to exchange beds after Christmas."
He slept for more than twelve hours but was woken up by the only guy he got along with.
"Aman… let me sleep a bit more, please."
"Nope. Firstly, we have classes and secondly, that's my bed."
"Ugh… why did I get a friend like you… can't you just sleep instead of annoying me?"
"Three seconds, Alex. If you don't wake your ass up, I'm gonna … pee on you."
"OH, HELL NO!!" Alex sat up, wide awake although the dark circles under his eyes still remained.
He groaned loudly before washing up and put on his uniform.
"Soo… transfiguration and DADA in the morning while we have… herbology after lunch." Alex said as he looked at the time table.
"Yes. Let's go have breakfast before the first hour."
"Okay…"
The day wasn't any different than the days before Christmas as Alex slept through all the classes except herbology since they were instructed to collect pollen from some weird blue petalled flower.
After the class was done, Alex dragged his tired body back into the dormitory and only woke up the next morning when Aman threated to pee on him again. He didn't know what happened during Christmas but Aman was quiet annoying but it was withing his tolerance levels.
"I don't want to see your tiny penis so keep it away from me."
"Heh, if you don't want to see it, you should wake up early next time." Aman said with a smug look.
"…. Soo, you're accepting the fact that you have a small penis?"
"HEY! Give it some time, okay? I'm not even a teenager."
"Yea yea… give it some time, heh."
"Y… You! I'll pee on you tomorrow and you won't even know it!" Aman shouted.
Alex's eyes went wide as he saw Hannah and Susan around the corner of the corridor waiting for them. He slapped his forehead when he saw their expressions.
"You dumb asshole…." He whispered as he nudged Aman.
"What?"
"Look forward… imagine what they would think about you now."
Aman felt his soul leave his body as his legs went weak.
"Ah…. How am I going to survive this?"
"It's simple my friend. Find a way to keep Susan's mouth shut."
"Dying is an easier task… I guess I'll have to submit to fate." Aman sighed as his head hung low in embarrassment.
"It's not fate, brother. It's called karma and keep one thing in mind, always. Karma is a bitch."
"Every dog has its day, Alex. One day I'll be the one laughing."
"Hehe, yeah yeah."
They met up with the two Hufflepuff girls before they left for their classes.
A week quickly passed with Alex doing nothing but sleeping, attending classes and eating. After getting enough rest and the pain in his body almost gone, he began disappearing from his dormitory every night.
Aman looked at the empty bed above him and sighed, 'Where the hell does this guy run off to?'
Meanwhile in the room of requirement, Alex was standing in front of a metal cauldron while he threw in various ingredients. The fire was extremely hot, contrary to normal potion making. Five minutes later, the liquid quicky turned thick and the top of the mixture got darker as scum was formed.
Alex waited for an hour before he took out his wand and pointed it at the top of the cauldron.
Flames gushed out from the tip of the wand and hit the black surface inside. While the fire below the cauldron helped in boiling the mixture, the fire from Alex's wand incinerated the toxic wastes that had coagulated at the top.
Time slowly passed by and every time there was a black blob on top of the liquid, Alex would burn it and send the ashes flying into a box he had kept beside the cauldron.
The process continued until the mixture was extremely gooey and hard to stir. He then divided them into equal sized balls and placed them on a large metal plate before he jumped onto the bed nearby and fell asleep.
*****
Aman was having his breakfast gloomily as the whole Ravenclaw table looked at him like he was some kind of virus. He felt lonely as two of the three people he considered friends had made his life miserable and the other one seemed to like being alone.
Sometimes he wondered if Alex was a vampire who would go out and hunt people for blood when hungry. Sighing loudly, he took a small bite from the toast in his hand which felt so much bland that he felt like he was chewing paper.
*PAT*
He felt as if electricity had just passed through his body from behind as he instinctively jumped backwards from his seat.
Alex was smiling while he looked at Aman, "Yo!"
"You… nevermind. I should be happy that you at least came here for breakfast today." He said as he sighed again.
Alex looked around and saw that every single person in the great hall was looking at him weirdly and Hannah looked guilty at them. He sat down beside Aman and patted him on his back at the exact same spot where he had hit him.
"Looks like Susan couldn't keep her mouth shut, huh?"
"Yeah…"
"And she dragged me into this childish mess too?"
"Yeah…"
"If you're sad because of such a small matter, I don't know what to say to you. Listen here, this is the best time to spend time with yourself. Do you understand me?"
"Not really. Before you, Hannah and Susan became my friends, I liked to stay alone but you know… I miss those two and you… you just run off to god knows where, leaving me alone and clueless. Tell me, are you a vampire or something?"
Alex stared at the boy sitting in front of him like he was a stranger.
"…. No, I'm a mix breed between a werewolf, frog, donkey, dragon, goblin, your mom, Gian- ow"
Aman had smacked him on his head with all the strength he could muster. A small droplet of tear streaked across his face as he looked at him.
"You think I am joking or something?"
"Alright, sorry. I'll tell you everything later, okay? For now, you need to think of ways to make people think differently about you. Just look at those assholes, looking at us as if we are some type of foreign creatures."
"I don't know what to do!" Aman exclaimed before continuing, "If I had an idea, I wouldn't sitting here like I've lost my family!"
"Pff. Okay okay, calm down. I won't laugh." He said and Aman lowered his fist.
"I have a plan. Let's finish our classes first and what do we have after lunch… yeah, potions. After potions, I'll show you my secret place where I spend all my nights studying and practicing spells.
Also, forget about Susan and Hannah. Susan bay look nice and all that but you have to keep in mind that she almost killed me and now, she also spread weird rumours about you which could be true too but that's not something a friend does.
Hannah's a good person but as long as she considers Susan as her closest friend, it is better to stay away from her too."
Aman nodded seriously bit he was more excited to see his friend's secret place compared to changing the minds of all the students at Hogwarts. He did care for the two girls but they were at the back of his mind at the current moment.
Classes went as per usual and like always, Alex didn't listen to a single word as all he did was sleep.
