บท 87: Struggles of a Young Wizard
Winry scanned him, then reached for her potions box. "Drink this." She said Handing him a potion. When it was gone she handed him another. "And this."
After finishing the second potion Sirius felt that he might live and his brain started working. "Harry? Did the ritual work? The last thing I remember was… "
"The ritual was a close thing. That fragment was a hell of a lot stronger than any of us realized. If you hadn't helped Yiska trap it it would have tried to possess him. And it took you, Yiska and Harry to destroy it."
"Harry?!?"
"Yep."
"Is he?"
"Exhausted but fine he's starting to do spontaneous magic so he'll probably start waking up soon. If you roll over a little you can see him and your wife."
Sirius rolled towards Beth and smiled at her before looking at Harry. He grinned as he watched Harry's hair change from red to neon yellow. "Guess it's a good thing our first stop is San Francisco."
"You knew Harry was a metamorph?"
"Yeah. He started changing hair and eye color when he was a couple months old, he also could morph his features just a little. He mostly did that and summoning stuff as a baby. It was hysterical what happened one time when he summoned James' wand. Lily was so annoyed. I think I'm going…"
"Back to sleep now." Winry finished for him.
"How much longer will they need to sleep like this?" Beth asked.
"Two more days or so, I expect. Yiska will want to do another cleansing ritual and he says Harry is likely to need a bit of counseling because that fragment was so entrenched. They still have six weeks before Sirius planned the first jump."
"What did Roy say after the debrief and how did Zoe take not being in the loop?"
"Well Roy wasn't especially thrilled that Harry had to jump in as a third on destruction spell, It being his first premeditated magic and all, but I think talking to Yiska has reassured him on that score. As for Zoe well she understands that we didn't realize just how bad things would get. All in all it probably worked out best that Harry was the third. He and Sirius having the most reason for hating the fragment."
"Actually Harry has more reason that Sirius. He remembers the night the horcrux was made and his mum's murder."
"Yeah that would definitely motivate the anger the destruction spell needed. Melanie is amazed at how quickly Harry's burns disappeared."
"Yeah, but his forehead is taking it's sweet time."
"Happens with curse scars. I thought it interesting that Melanie used surgical glue to close it."
"I just hope being rid of fragment will mean that it fades."
"Well even if it doesn't he has a story that goes with it. After all scars are just tattoos with more interesting stories." Winry said wryly.
"I don't quite think Harry sees it that way. He always tries to get his hair to cover it, he seldom succeeds but it doesn't stop him from trying. At least Melanie believes we're past the danger point of complications from stopping his heart. I just wish he'd wake up."
"He was pretty far drained, in my experience wizards tend to hit magical exhaustion when they've expended two thirds of their core it's true of mages down to ordinary witches and wizards. Shock happens when they get down to an eighth or less of their core. They wake back up when they get to a third or more but usually before their at half. His numbers are getting close to Sirius' so he should come around soon."
"I hope so I'm due back in Washington in five more days. My boss isn't real happy years of no vacation and then this year I keep taking it and right and left."
"You still have like what five months worth, after this stretch right."
"Yes, I'm saving it for when the babies come."
"What does Sirius say, for him this pregnancy is going to be the longest ever right. It'll be like a over a year for him."
"Yes, thank god it isn't the other way around."
"You should probably get some rest."
"In a bit."
It was two more days before Harry woke up. What that implied about his core was slightly scary to Winry. Harry's initial numbers had been lower than Sirius'. She hadn't expected anything different a young wizard could more easily deplete their core. His number when he woke up was just short of that of a non depleted sorcerer class wizard and Harry was depleted and he was still just a kid. How powerful would he be as an adult?
From the time Harry woke up there was a constant flow of accidental magic some minor some major. George, Rachel, Sirius, and Yiska all tried to help him get it locked down. Beth and her security team had to leave before that happened. Which left Sirius Yiska and Rachel to work with him on it.
Two weeks later Harry was frustrated. It felt like he had no self control. He tried to do his mediation but it seemed like he had no focus. When he looked in the mirror he never looked the same twice, he had short circuited a radio, and he stayed away from Yiska's trailer after he accidentally blew out one of the windows. He had done that to the rental car too.
And yesterday when he sat on a wooden chair to study, it changed from dead wood into a living tree. The adults were consulting on what to do, while Harry attempted to meditate. The only times he felt close to control was during his daily spar with Rachel.
