25.58% HP: Magic Beasts and how to tame them / Chapter 11: Preparations

章節 11: Preparations

Nymph still got in Hufflepuff and found some friends.

I don't know any of the people she talks about.

The only person I know in her agegroup would be Charlie Weasley,

but she didn't seem to be friends with that Griffindor.

I'm 7 years old, so I have 4 years till school starts.

In that time I need to make some preparations to achieve my goal.

Where do you get magical beasts in britain?

Buying from breeders requires a lot of money. I still want to earn some to at least buy one or two more before my education at Hogwarts starts, but my wish is make a peaceful life for my magical familiars

and although not optimal conditions, their treatment is better than elsewhere.

I can't steal from Knockturnalley. Not because it goes against my morals, but I am to weak to do so.

Maybe after I learn some useful magic, I beat those abusers up.

The only other place where magical beast live in Britain is the forbidden forest at Hogwarts.

Of course there could live some beasts in other parts of the country,

but I wouldn't know where or how to travel there. It shouldn't be great populations,

but a few loners so I don't like to disturb them.

As I've said, I'm still to weak, so even with Anluan by my side, I can't guarantee that we would be safe

and I don't like to put him in danger.

The consequence is learning ways to protect ourselves and better yet to don't get attacked.

A good example of stealth is Harry's cloak, he receives in bis first year.

I also try to learn some simple spells wandless, but even though I now can feel the mana inside of me,

I can't focus it the way I wish. At least not yet, so I need to train the next years.

My goal covers beginner spells like 'Lumos' and 'Nox' to get a feel for wandless magic.

If I should be able to use them, I can try a more difficult spell.

'Stupefy' isn't an easy spell, but the simplest non-harming I could think of,

so it is a foundation to handle aggressive beasts in the future.

I ask mom if she would teach me a simple healing spell. At the beginning she said if I got injured

there is a medical wing at Hogwarts, but I told her it wasn't for me but Anluan.

She still denied, but said something like 'Episkey' would be possible, when I got my wand.

Need a few years for that one, but it should be fine.

Aside from non-leathal attack and healing, I need defensive and stealth spells,

but those are hard for second years even with wands, let alone me without one.

So no matter how hard I train 'Protego', I wasn't able to make it work.

Then came the training of my special and unique magic.

In particular I now train my space magic 'Invenrory', so it doesn't appear as a man-sized mirror in front of me.

I plan to use the excuse of a trunk or pouch with expanded space to cover my spell.

Don't want somebody to question my ability.

So I try to make it smaller and stick to the surface of different movable objects like doors,

to see if it moves with it or stays in place.

I could do both with enough focus, but had to be near it and the mana consumption has gone up for

movable magic circles.

As I've said at the beginning, I want to earn some money to buy me a few more pets,

but it showed to be harder than I expected.

Not many want to make business with 7-year-olds. Understandeble but nonetheless I tried.

Can't get to Diagon Alley without one of my parents finding out.

Even though I know some muggle companies that should be rising, I didn't have the capital to invest in them.

So I found myself at a dead end. What now?

I couldn't invent something without the magical knowledge of Ancient Runes or Alchemy.

But a couple of months after I turned 8 years old, I had an idea.

The initial question. How do I want to earn money later.

I love animals and magical beasts, so selling some parts that fall of like feathers, fur or droppings for magical plants should be possible. I wouldn't become rich, but that wasn't my plan in the beginning.

Now I have only one magical animal, so I talked with dad if I could intern at a magical breeder.

My thought?

Get some money and learning the handling of the beasts.

Even if I didn't like some of the process, I gained knowledge about the habits and food they liked.

The two years I worked around 25 hours/week and was paid 5 knuts per hour.

Over my employment I got nearly 25 galleons.

With that kind of budget, I could pay for two animals, but that didn't include toys and food,

so maybe one exotic with food and toys should be feasible.

I guess it's time to shop for Hogwarts.


章節 12: My way to Hogwarts

June 1988

At last my letter from Hogwarts came after my 11th birthday.

So our family goes shopping for the Hogwarts supplies.

Most of the things went the same as with sis, so I'll only tell the deviations.

It was my first time at Ollivanders and before me in line was already a character from the series,

although he only appears in one book, before Rowling kills him of.

If your guess is Cedric Diggory, you are correct.

"Hello, boy I just finish this before I am ready for you", Ollivander talks to me from a ladder.

"No problem, Sir.", I say

Cedric seems a little shy before he nods to me and greets:

"Also going to Hogwarts for the first time?"

"Yeah, a little nervous but mostly excited and you? I am Nicholas Tonks by the way.", I introduce myself.

"Pleasure to meet you, my name is Cedric Diggory.", he responds before Ollivander comes back and lays a wand before Cedric.

"12¼ ash wood with unicorn hair core, pleasantly springy", the wand maker tells the little badger.

Diggory junior waves it infront of him and the wand makes a sound like bird singing.

"A good match it seems.", I hear a mumble and Cedric smiles to the old man.

He lays 7 galleons on the counter and says goodbye to both Ollivander and me.

"Maybe we see us in the train.", I added.

"That would be nice.", he says before wandering out of the door.

"Now Mr. Tonks I guess a wand is what you came here for?", the shop owner reminds me.

"That would be right, but you can simply call me Nicholas, Mr. Ollivander, Mr. Tonks is my father."

"Well then, I hope you are a challenge.", he grinsed.

Testing of 18 wands later.

"Well I asked for a challenge and you delivered.", he says more excited than annoyed.

"Maybe another kind of core? I guess we should try."

After a few minutes he comes back with a black casket.

"11¾ cedar wood and Thestral hair, fairly bendy." ¹

Thestral hair. As I thought it's because I faced death before.

I take it and simply flick it and a little dog made out of light runs out of the tip.

"Beautiful", I hear his reverent voice.

"Do you have a wand holder and a wand care kit?"

"Sure, boy. Total of 10 galleons."

After I pay, I go to the Magical Menagerie while my family is busy to look for Nymphs new schoolbooks.

The employer is free, so I go to him, because I concluded what I wish for beforehand.

And with the birthday money of the last 2 years and a little bit mom gave me, if I found

something I wanted to buy, I now have 40 galleons.

"Do you have any Kneazles?"

"Yeah, just got a pair. They are in the cage next to the cats, there."

They seem to be siblings, both a beautiful mix of white and silver.

He is mostly silver and the female only has speckles of silver like little stars on her white fur.

"How much do they cost?"

"25 galleons for each. But for you only 24", he smiles. As if I would be naive enough.

"How about I take both.", I try to negotiate.

"The best I can make is 45."

"I think you can make better."

"40 galleons. That's really what they are worth, boy.", he nearly cried.

"How about you give 2 bags of food on top and we call it a Deal."

"Fine, Deal boy."

Don't sell animals I you don't want to. I still take mine, don't take me wrong.

Out of the shop, I let them in my 'Dimensional Home' behind some bins in the nearby alley.

I then go to my family, who wait before the bookshop.

"That took you some time. Is everything alright?", mom questions me.

"Yeah, just a boy I the line before me, but took some attempts to find the wand."

I didn't specify if he or me needed that many attempts.

"Ok then. Who wants an ice cream?", mom asks.

"""Me!"""

"Why are you louder than the children, darling?"

"Sorry, dear.", my dad says, while looking apologetic.

1st September

Nymph and me say goodbye to our parents.

We talked beforehand about getting compartments beside each other, so she could be with her clique and I could make new friends, while being near enough, so she could help me if needed.

Cedric joins me 10 minutes later and we talked on the way.

Nymph shortly looked if everything was alright and talked with Cedric about Quidditch, who would have guessed, before leaving again.

Later we talk about Hogwarts and what we wanted to see the most.

Cedric was highly surprised when my answer was the Forbidden Forest.

But I guess he thinks I'm bluffing, because he didn't asks further with a complicated look in his eyes.

Around 7 to 8 hours later the train slows down, so we change into our robs.

"Firs' years. All firs' years to me", sounds it over the platform of Hogsmaede.

Soon Hagrid leads us to the boats and as we see the phenomenal view of Hogwarts in its nightly

agleamed glory my only thought is:

Now starts my time at Hogwarts.

____________________________________________________________________

1 cedar wood shows strenght of character and unusuall loyalty,

So I found it is a good way to show his loyalty to magical beasts.

Thestral hair wands can only be used by those who faced death,

something Voldemort ran away from, because he feared it the most.
