Capítulo 100: Ch. 100 Back to School

The article itself doesn't make any direct issues for Tory and I in all honesty. For her the risks and annoyances come from her father, which I am handling by having complete control over his communications, easily done since he doesn't have a Box. I know how nobles are and they will try to get an engagement arranged between their inbred nitwits and my girl, like hell I'm letting that happen. So I managed the meager amount of mail he would receive and just sent him a bunch of money for the proper engagement between me and her, on the condition it be kept secret until we have both graduated from Hogwarts. He would then receive the other half of what i paid. Although I am a half-blood, I still am a noble heir, with a vast fortune, the best wizard of my generation by far, with connections, and a growing business, making me a very attractive candidate.

My annoyances are coming from increasingly fanatical mail. As more people read my books, more of them are ravenously asking for explanations and clarifications about how I was able to figure all this stuff out. Academic studies of my ideas and results are already underway. And worst of all, someone somehow got a picture of me and sent it Witch Weekly Magazine. You have no idea of the fan mail I'm getting out of this. And I'm not sure if this is good or not, but Christian and James are also involved in this. There was even a vote held for what type readers preferred. Christian was the wild passionate type lover, James was the gentle and caring type, and apparently i was determined to be the protective and dominating type. Didn't help when Victoria just kinda agreed to what they said. It really didn't help that my two friends were turning into attractive men as well.

What can you do? Tilly was apparently more than happy to go through these letters instead of trying to find things to do. Made her sing a little tune while sorting the mountain of letters. Gotta admit that sometimes their mad desire for work does come in handy.

But this did give me the opportunity to start communicating with a variety of experts and masters in the fields of potions, Herbology, Arithmancy and Runes. I was building a wide array of academic relationships. You never know what might come in useful in the future and who will come up with the next great idea. It also helped establish my name as an expert much quicker as well.

So all in all, not a total loss.

The holidays ended on an odd, but ok note because of all the attention I was getting, but it was soon time to return to Hogwarts.

We got to the platform even earlier than usual to avoid any issues, Aunty even went as far as putting notice-me-not charms on everyone. It was for good reasons too since I spotted 8 journalists, 15 prowling witches, and many others were simply on the lookout for any signs of their recently famous schoolmates. So with a quick goodbye, we all went inside the train.

Sometime later, as Tory and I were enjoying our last bit of time together as a couple for a while, a commotion was brewing outside the train as people rushed towards the platforms entrance. I could here loud voices, some cameras going off, yelling and lots of movement. That's when we could notice our two friends popping in together, trying to fight their way through the horde of people.

"Should we go and help them?" I asked Tory feeling a bit bad for the guys.

"I didn't see anything except my man, what about you?" She replied with a mischievous look in her eyes as she lay in my arms.

"You know what? You're right. I guess I was seeing things outside and should be paying attention to my girl." I said with a grin as I pulled her even closer.

So we got a few more minutes of time to ourselves before I could sense our two friends approaching our cabin and we separated.

"Bloody hell! What is wrong with those people?" Complained Christian as he came in a bit disheveled.

"That is rather unpleasant. Are they going to act like this all the time though?" Questioned a relieved James, now that he doesn't have to worry so much.

"Haha! Yeah, you two are either going to have to get used to it, learn how to be stealthy, be so rude or cold they have no choice but to leave you alone, or wait for the buzz to cool down." I answer with a wide grin.

"Christian I can see acting like a brute, but James is way too nice to even try it. I bet he'd just give the autographs to everyone who asks." Add Victoria with a chuckle.

"You two could have stopped being in your own little world and helped you know?" Irritably replied Christian with a light glare.

"You think it's bad when they see you two? Imagine what's going to happen if they see me. The only way it doesn't get 3 times worst is if I cow them into silence and that's not a good option. That option makes people feel inferior, then they get huffy, then annoyed, and then they slander." I answered back to my friend.

"Fair enough, but how did you avoid the commotion? Especially with you two coming together. That should have made those people go crazy." Asked James, getting Christian to look at us wondering the same thing.

"We got here really early and Amelia cast a few concealment spells to avoid getting any attention." Answered Tory as-matter-a-factly.

"Amelia?" James questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"We decided to tell my aunt and Suz about us during the break. It went well, plus it's not like they weren't familiar with each other." I answered for her.

"That's great Tory. First step is getting the in-laws on your side. After that your golden even when it's his fault." Exclaimed a chuckling Christian.

"I am happy for the two of you. But are you going to be OK Tory? Your father will most likely see the article about all of us as well." Worriedly asked James.

"Aedan said he would take care of it and we promised each other to find our own place during the summer." She said tenderly looking at me.

"Yeah it's all fine, plus I'm pretty sure we're going to be engaged soon." I answered with a bright smile.

"""What?!?""" Came their very surprised responses.

"Aedan, what do you mean by that?" Softly asked Tory.

"Well, I was worried that with Tory's excellence being exposed, being a pureblood, your father being how he is and other supremacists being how they are, that I should stop any possible troubles. So I'm currently controlling the mail and floo of the Travers family and I sent him a very nice offer for your hand. And just so I don't get in trouble, this is to stop others from trying to take you from me in some bullshit legal manner, and I will propose to you properly once we can properly live together." I explain seriously.

The two guys look at me in an almost impressed manner.

"And you didn't think to tell me?" Asked Victoria in a low voice.

"I didn't want to get engaged with a contract, so I wanted to keep it a secret until I could do it properly and have a ring ready." I answered honestly.

It was like being in front of a real lioness as she looked at me with narrowed eyes, not speaking a word. Which in her case, it's not far from the truth.

But then she wrapped her arms around me in what was almost an attempt to crush my bones through a hug.

"Thank you Aedan. You always do these things for me, even giving money to that man." She said as she had her face buried in my chest.

"I told you that you were mine. I'll do anything to keep it that way." I softly replied as i stroked he silky smooth hair.

So the atmosphere of the cabin was turning pink, while the two guys were there being a bit awkward at basically being forgotten.

*cough*

"I know you two are usually well behaved, but this is a bit too much in front of two bachelors." Said James as he broke us out of our moment, while Christian was just shaking his head.

"Well, I can't say anything for you James, but I'm pretty sure Christian has some interest in that little 2nd year. Maybe in a few years when she grows up it'll be you two." Replied Victoria with a knowing smile on her face.

"Wait! What? No! Luna is like a little sister. Yeah. I just can't leave such a cute and interesting girl alone so I protect her. Like a bunny even." He defended himself in a fluster.

We all just look at his reaction and grin widely.

"It's not like thaaaaaaat!" He exclaimed in near despair.

So we got into chatting about our holidays after that little bit of fun. Enjoyed some lighthearted time together. Made some simple but good memories.

The the train finally started moving and it was time to fulfill our duties and maintain some level of order in the compartments. It was different this time due to the sheer looks of awe amongst the students that had read the articles about us, or the blushing girls averting their gazes, and some people fidgeting in their seats while they were trying to decide whether to approach us or not. This was all pretty standard for me, but a new experience for my friends. Aside from our new fans, nothing troublesome happened on our trip back. No second Dementor attack either. I'm guessing they are busy looking around Hogsmeade by now. And Harry isn't here either.

Anyway, Hogwarts soon became lively again with the hundreds of students returning to its halls.

I even got a visit from a huffy Harry, complaining about how Hermione got his new Firebolt taken by McGonagall to make sure it isn't cursed. My only response was very simple.

"Harry, i know you love Quidditch and have been dreaming about that broom, but are you sure how you are acting right now is fair? You received a very expensive gift, from an unknown person, just when your broom has been broken. It is already suspicious enough, without adding to the fact that Black is on the loose. So tell me, is it fair to treat your friend who doesn't want you to get hurt or die, like you are now, simply because you will not be able to play with that broom for maybe one game this year?" I asked the kid.

This makes Harry look down in some shame for his actions. It's simply because I'm right and he knows it. Hermione just doesn't want her friend to be hurt. So although Ron is mad at her for the conflicts between his 'beloved rat' and her cat, Harry should not treat the poor girl like this.

"You're right Aedan. I was too happy about getting the broom and hurt my friend who was trying to protect me. I think I'll go apologize now." He answered in a low voice as he was ashamed of himself.

"Although it never feels good to admit your faults, it is also right to do so. It will let you grow as an understanding and broadminded person. I am happy if you can sincerely make up with her, you are her best friend after all and it must be hurting her a lot. I can't help with the cat chasing after a rat though, it's simply natural." I say to the growing boy.

He nods at me with determination and heads off to find his friend.

I can’t believe this is the 100th chapter I wrote. In a month. I wrote all this in 1 month, with only my cellphone. I kind of feel weird and proud that my little fan-fic I felt like writing has gotten this far. Thanks for reading so far everyone.

I think I’ll take the rest of the day off to recharge a bit and enjoy other people’s works, then jump back into it.

Enjoy.

Capítulo 101: Ch. 101 Protego Sanctum

The rest of the school year itself was calm in all honesty. The only extra problems occurring this year were mostly worries from the 'deranged murderer' on the loose and the gloomy atmosphere Dementors brought to the castle.

Both were completely understandable from an objective point of view. This is how humans will react instinctively when a threat to their lives and safety is introduced. They experience heightened tension in their bodies to ready themselves for potential dangers, burden their minds to kept constant vigilance, small events can lead to mistrusts, increased number of conflicts due to bravado, dick measuring or tense emotions, and weariness because of the constant strain people are under from the above.

The Dementors seem to constantly suck the warmth from the air and from people, with their growing numbers around the school affecting teens and kids alike. This sense of emptiness has been a constant struggle for students and has become more obvious as people are trying to combat the feeling through various means such as the cheering charm, dreamless sleep potions and binging on chocolate to mitigate the effects.

Luckily enough for some though, my Patronus class has been helping spread some positivity to Hogwarts as my friends, successful students and even some professors join in to stave the tide of oppression. You could now catch glimpses of a variety of silvery animals flying through the castle to lift the spirit of others, making for a truly magical sight. The rules were even specifically adjusted to allow for the charm to be used within the castle due to its positive effects on the student body.

The club was in full swing as many were having official duels to blow off steam, resolve conflict or just to better themselves and feel like they can at least put up a fight against Black. Although the pre-OWL students were more affected by the happening of the year, it helped that they had a place like this, filled with skilled duelers.

The Exchange was basically self-running now, with many older students helping the younger ones and each other, plenty of people trying to practice difficult spells and using my study guides to improve themselves. Cedric has been going from strength to strength under my tutelage, having a qualitative improvement in his abilities to guide others. He saw a rise in all of his grades, his practical abilities and he felt more sure of himself in almost all areas. He actually told me that it was an intoxicating feeling to have such rapid improvements in himself. I have also let him be in charge of the Exchange completely at least once a month to gradually help him feel comfortable with the responsibility.

In the mean time, the canon was pretty much just happening.

After his talk with me, Harry broke out of his immature actions towards Hermione and made up with her, losing any reason to be mad at her when the broom was returned before the kid had to play a proper match. The problem was with Ron. So although he has improved significantly compared to the weak, jealous and cowardly version, he his still quite upset at his 'pet's' disappearance/death at the hands of Hermione's cat. So although he isn't mad at her for the broom, he's still upset over how things are going on that front. But at least Harry is acting as a mediator this time around and helping the girl not hurt so much, with Ron giving the silent treatment instead of full on avoiding her.

Harry's brain was filled with Quidditch because of his captain, unable to worry about pretty much anything else. Now I sorta understand why Oliver is acting like this. It's his last year, because of me and my friends, Ravenclaw has been at the top ever since he took charge, they have a good team but have never won, so he worries about his plans to go pro. But this is wrecking the other aspects of his teammates personal lives at the moment and he's mixing his person goals too much. I just worry that the boy who is supposed to face fucking Voldemort should probably not be forced to give so much of a shit over a sport, but what do I know about preparing a kid for his future.

Anyway, although the Gryffindor team has excellent chasers and great teamwork between the twin beaters, Christian could fly circles around them still and kept the score as close as possible. They were unable to pull away from the back and forth score, making it so that Harry has to delay our new Seeker Cho from getting the Snitch. It came to the point where Oliver had to give up on winning by a large margin and focus on the next game instead since they couldn't pull ahead no matter what they did, so Harry now went after the Snitch actively. Then the idiots from Slytherin in the form of Draco, Crabbe, Goyle and Troll-face tried to sabotage the kid by dressing as Dementors, making him shoot off a nice looking Patronus for a third year, then catching the snitch to secure victory.

That night however, Sirius made another visit to the Gryffindor dorms and got to the third year rooms in search of Peter. Unfortunately he had already hid himself somewhere in the castle to avoid Black, since he knew Sirius knew he was Ron's pet. This resulted in a pretty scared Ron as he woke up to find a 'deranged murderer' slashing his bed curtains in frustration, a severely punished Neville for losing the entire weeks passwords and having them fall into Blacks hands, and the Fat Lady returning to her post with new guards to protect her after the crazy knight replacement was fired.

This event set off another school wide search involving me, with Snape once again suspecting Lupin, but nothing came of it.

Time went on, I'm sure that Professor Lupin now has the Marauders map and knows Pettigrew might still be alive. The kids learned that I was properly keeping Buckbeak safe, when Malfoy was taunting them about its impending execution, but Hagrid told them that this was no longer the case because of an official notice from the ministry.

I might have had the people in charge of the disposal of dangerous creatures write a false statement of guilt and sent it myself to a certain noble house, whilst having further notices of the changes in the case 'temporarily' lost. The receiver of said false statement never even checked with those who wrote it as he simply believed this was obvious with him holding them by the nuts. It just brings a smile to my face when he was dancing to my tune. Hermione still punched the little wimp in the face though, which just made my little fan heart smile a bit.

Anyway, the last game Quidditch game of the year happened and by some divine intervention (I blame She-who-must-not-be-named or I might get in trouble~), Gryffindor beat Slytherin with just enough points to win the cup this year.

Aside from basically watching a combination of the movies and books come to life, while managing my own additions and helping my friends, I've had tremendous success in developing one of my final two mastery projects.

The spell's name is Protego Sanctum, my Defense Against the Dark Arts project. This is the only existing defense purely against the Dark Arts. It is the complete opposite of Protego Diabolica which is designed to stop the physical body of ones enemies.

By its nature, the spell is the closest thing in existence to holy magic besides the Patronus. It's duty is to stop dark magic, repel dark creatures such as Dementors, and provide strong resistance against those steeped into the dark arts. I designed it to work as a quick combat barrier or as a longer lasting protective defense. It's spell motion should require close combat users to mark the space by pointing the wand and basically drawing it in the air, then using the necessary magic and intent to form the barrier.

It has high requirements from the user, as no one who hasn't gone through a second magical maturation will be able to use the spell, and no one who has practiced dark arts enough to have a trace of it on their souls can use this either. The second requirement is the intent behind the spell: strong desires to protect, intense memory when one wished to protect others, desire to repel the dark arts completely and the need to care when casting the barrier.

But with the strict requirements comes the rewards. From what I've tested, this is now the only known spell in existence that can protect you from and dispel the three Unforgivables. That's right. I figured out a way to stop the killing curse through pure spell casting. I mean, I had about half a dozen sure fire ways of doing it, by conjuring something to take the hit, transfiguring the environment to act as a shield, summon an object to take the hit, etc. The notion that it's unstoppable was always overrated in my mind. Yes it was the deadliest spell in existence, still is too. You get hit and you're done, but it's perfectly defendable when you have some skills. Although this spell can't purify tainted or dark objects like Horcruxes, it will not permit them within its bounds either and force them out. And due to the intense emotional requirements, it has a degree of sentience imparted by the caster to fulfill its role.

If you wondered how I tested this, well it's pretty simple. I still have a certain vanishing cabinet pair linked to Micheal Folster's home and I invited Oliver over, since pretty much all senior Aurors know some of the dark arts to defend against them properly, and had him shoot the Killing Curse on the shield erected around a dummy. The results were that nothing he tried from what he knew worked. We even got Scott to help us with the Imperius Curse and that's how we saw that it washes that away too. Unfortunately, because Oliver has used these kinds of spells a bit too much, the barrier offers slight resistance against him and telling me he will likely never be able to cast the spell itself. But surprisingly, Scott was actually able to get a feel for it, meaning he's never used the Dark arts and has the qualifications to learn the spell.

'The Golden trio doesn't have anyone with a particularly strong magic core amongst them, Harry being the closest to it but the blood wards are using a lot of it. So teaching them will have to wait. My friends should be able to do it be next year or the year after that. Tory has sworn she's never used any dark arts, finding it the tool of the weak willed and lazy. James and Christian find them abhorrent in general so they also avoid it. The only other requirement would be their cores, and after going through my special training for years, Tory will experience hers on her birthday and my two mates will probably feel it by the time we graduate.' I thought to myself has I figured out who I should let in on this.

'Oh well, that's for later. For now I just have to finish my exams like I usually do and then it's time for me to mess with Lucius face to face.' I thought to myself with a great big smile.

"I can't wait." I said with my face transforming into a devilish smile.

Hello, my little break is done. Thanks for all the support on my fanfic and the concern.

Thought I’d kick it off by just blazing through the uninteresting bits of the year and get to a good one. Although I personally like the 3rd movie for it’s closer focus on the school life, it’s not the greatest to write about from someone else’s perspective cause nothing actually important happens till the end.

So new spell. Made it Holy. Tadaa.

Enjoy.
