Magic

A week later .... " Maria it's been a week maven is still not conscious is there something I need to worry about" said Morvous in a worried tone.

Looking at Morvous's face " Stop it idiot how many times will you ask me the same question in a day. I already told you he had severe blood loss it will take time to recover. Mostly he wake up today or tomorrow." Said Maria then she left

After few hours...

Maven's pov

I slowly opened my eyes not knowing what my condition was, i tried moving both my hands and feet. Everything thing was fine. Then I suddenly heard a shout

" Master , young master Maven is awake" shouted twik.

Then I tried sit down on my bed. Then I saw Sinus staring at me,I looked into it's eyes and nodded my head . It slowly crawled down my bed not making any sound. Opening the door of my bed room my father came

" Good gracious you are awake at last . Do you know how much worried I was about you."

I was looking at him not saying a word.

" Speak something how are you feeling now"

" Yes father I'm feeling a bit weak and I feel very hungry"

He look at twik and said

" Twik get some food for young master to eat "

Then he looked me saying " you eat some food and take rest, evening Maria will come and check your condition .I have some work to take care of. We will speak about remaining things later." Saying this he turned around and left my room.

After eating some food I felt much better. Then I started thinking what happened at the time of my fall from the tree, It felt magical. I should have died falling on the spike but I deviated from the spike and levitated the air for few seconds before falling on ground.

Did I invoke magic inside me. I need to confirm this.

Then shouted " twik"

" Young master do you need anything"

" I wanted to ask you is father still around "

" Young master, master has already left he said he would return evening with lady Maria . Is there any problem young master shall call master".

" No need, I'm fine Iam asking casually you can leave if I need anything I will call don't disturb me."

" Yes young master " saying this twik left.

So father is not home . So I need to check if I really invoked magic in me or not. I casually looked at a book on my table and said come , there was no movement. May be I should concentrate more on the book. Then concentrating more on the book said come . The book suddenly started shaking slowly rose from the table few centimeters .I felt sudden pain in my head,lost concentration and the book fell on the table. The pain slowly subdued ,after few minutes I felt very weak as if I lost lot of energy. Then I started laughing. Yes I have invoked magic inside now Iam a goddamn 'WIZARD' .

I slept peacefully for the first time without any worry , I was in constant fear worrying what would happen if I was confirmed Squib. Now all the fear is gone let's think about all things later .

At some unknown location ...

In a completely dark gloomy room with only two candles illuminating on the either side of chair, on which seated was a grim looking old man with a parchment in his hand looking absent minded.

" Send my command to gormlaith I want her in front of me in 15 minutes".

" Yes , master" said a house elf and disappeared

After 10 minutes

outside the door a voice came " requesting patriarch permission to enter" said a commanding/ arrogant stern voice

"Granting permission to enter" said old man

Then two woman walked in one was in her 40's and other in her 60's.

Oldman looked at the two woman his expression became grim ,he turned his head to the older woman shouted in anger

" How dare you merope !! who gave you permission to enter my study"

" Father how can you speak to me like this . You haven't met a single person in our family for the last 9 years. But today you called gormlaith, so I came along with her to see you" shrieked merope

" You !!! Do you think I don't know what filth is in your mind woman" he flicked his wand towards merope and said " crucio"

Merope shrieked and shouted rolling on the floor in pain. Then he undid the spell , looking at the house elf he shouted " get this trash out of my quarters".

" How is you health gormlaith" he asked

" I'm still recuperating clan head " said gormlaith

" I got information that old seer Cassandra may not live more than few months. I requested a divination from her "

" But clan head she stopped taking clients for very long time. Will she accept " said gormlaith

" She already accepted, I was quite persuasive. She will send me the date/time for divination . During the time I leave , I have something's that you need to take care of, I cannot trust others. I don't want any of the information we spoke now to be disclosed to anyone"

" Yes clan head" she said and turned around to leave

Then the old man said " how many years has it been 9 years or 10 years ".

She tiled her head in anger and face became red then she asked, " is there any news ".

" Oh hmm you mean, callidus none mostly dead".

Her face became even more red/angry and said " that's what is expected ". She stormed out of the room not looking back. Then the oldman closed his eyes . What were his thoughts or schemes no one knew.
