Capítulo 13: Hogwarts and Sorting! Part-1
{Platform 9 3/4, Kings Cross Station, London}
{10:38 AM, 1st Sept 1991}
Harry had seated himself in an empty compartment on the Hogwarts express, he could see many families just standing outside the window saying their last goodbyes. At least Harry was blessed in that regard, his farewell with the Tonks family was brief if but a little awkward. As Harry waited for the train to start he pulled out his charms textbook to pass the time. Harry was fascinated with the magical theory that he had read, especially the ones he read in some of the advanced magical books he read from Andromeda's collection.
Magic is based on intent, the patterns in which mana flows when we direct it by saying a spell out loud and by performing wand movements. Imagining mana flowing from your core to your hand, and as it goes through your wand, every syllable you speak empowers the mana with your intent, and what effect you want it to do. Like if you want something to float, the words Wingardium Levi'Osa are just a crutch that you use to imbued your intent to make something fly. Likewise, the wand movements shape to what extent the spell affects the object or something else. Once you gain enough willpower and experience with a particular spell, you can force your intent on your mana without even needing to speak out loud, same with wand movements.
Harry pulled out his wand and put the book in front of him, first he tried to wandlessley make the book float just in front of him. He closed his eyes and concentrated on how his mana behaved, how it was coiled in circles before it exits his body to keep the charms textbook floating in place. By repeating this process this past month, Harry had developed a new skill that is quite useful.
[Mana Sense (Lvl-2)]{Sense Mana around you, or a buildup of mana when magic is used.}
Harry opened his eyes and let the book drop before he picked up his wand and repeated the process. His mana went through a similar process, although it was infinitely smoother to control now, he sensed the patterns were the same as he used the wand movements, the book floated once again as Harry figured out the difference between both the versions of the spells, the wandless spell took a lot of mana and concentration to cast, whereas when he used the wand it was as easy as cutting a pie.
Harry sensed someone outside his door before the door opened, a redhead stood behind the door and for a second Lily's image appeared in his mind before Harry focused on the newcomer. He noticed her brown eyes taking in the current scene, her face was heart shape with a small amount of baby fat sticking to her cheeks as she finally spoke, "Hello," she greeted curiously, "Can we sit here if you don't mind, I'm Susan Bones and this is my friend Hannah Abbot."
The other presence behind her revealed herself, Hannah was half a head shorter than both of them and looked nervous as she looked at Harry's face and especially at the book floating in front of him. Harry flicked his wand to cancel the spell and stood up to greet a member of the Sacred 28.
"Heiress Bones, pleased to make your acquaintance, I am Hector Jackson, muggle-born" he finished. He noticed the surprised expression on both their faces before Susan smiled and lifted her hand forward, Harry took a few steps close to her and bent down his head softly to place a soft kiss on her fingers.
"Heiress Bones to the Most Nobel and Most Ancient House of Bones." Noticing no contempt on her or Hannah's face Harry breathed a sigh of revealed before turning to Hannah and they exchanged a similar formal greeting. As the girls dragged their featherlight charmed trunks into the room Harry helped place them over their seats, before they settled back down, Harry back down on his seat and the two girls opposite him. It took a few seconds before the Bones heiress broke the silence.
"Are you a first-year like us?" she enquired even though it was clear from my colorless Hogwarts robes that Harry was indeed one, it was a subtle way of asking if Harry was interested in conversing to pass the time.
"Yes... Heiress Bones" Harry hesitated on how to address her as she swiftly waved her hand and spoke, "No need for that, we are classmates, after all, maybe even housemates, just call me Susan."
Harry breathed a sigh of relief again, he tried to keep the emotionlessness away from his face, there was no way he would have even remotely considered baing her friend if she wanted to play heiress, "Yes I am a first-year Susan. You can call me Hector"
"That spell is a mid-first-year spell, and you easily held it in place so I had some doubts," she praised lightly before she asked, "did you practice a lot before coming to school, I thought underage magic was restricted," she asked curiously.
Harry tried to look stunned and used his immaculate acting skills as he said, "...it wasn't mentioned in the letter was it? Is the punishment severe..." he paused and asked them, "umm can you not tell anyone about it?" he whispered the last part as Susan giggled.
"Don't worry Hector, your secret is safe with us, for we are going to be sorted in the Hupplepuff house, the house of Loyalty," she puffed her chest with pride as Harry watched the thematics of the girl as Hannah giggled. Harry quickly figured Susan was trying to calm her friend down even though she herself was a little nervous.
The train gave a jolt as it started moving, Susan and Hannah quickly plastered themselves against the window waving goodbye to their families. As Harry looked at the countless parents waving their kids away, his eyes were drawn to the figure of Lily Potter, she stood tall, almost reaching 6 feet in height, and her red hair was draped as a curtain parted in the middle to give way to the most bright green eyes he had seen except his own. She had tears in her eyes as she waved goodbye to most probably his brother.
Harry ignored the stinging in his eyes as he turned back to the two heiresses in front of him, Susan already had her wand out as she was gazing into his eyes, it would be so easy to rip all the interesting titbits from her mind but Harry controlled himself as Susan asked, "so how do we do this spell..."
