Vault of the Ice
December 17, 1963
Blair was standing in front of the vanishing stairs ,his eyes directed towards the top of the stairs. Blair asked Professor Binns about the Vault of ice ,At first the Professor was quite shocked with the question ,As cursed Vaults were just a legend know to very few people, But still answered him. He said "The Cursed were five legendary hidden rooms located in the school, each vault shielded by a different curse placed on it. Some alleged that the vaults contain priceless treasures such as gold, prophecies, and other powerful magical artefacts dating back to before the school was founded while others believed they contained Dark Magic. Some even said that the rooms were personally constructed by Salazar Slytherin .Vaults of ice is one of the 5 Cursed vaults ."
He has been practising spells continuously for the past few months, He was getting ready to fight If needed to in the Vault. He has nearly mastered Diffindo, Bombarda, Stunning spell , Incendio and Aguamenti without any guidance of a teacher or mentor. The number of spells that Blair mastered might be small, But what can you expect with a 11 years old body. He still need time to be able to perform high level magic.
Blair has finally realised that he was far ahead of his year mates in terms of offensive magic. Even though he sucked at potions and was above average in Transfiguration ,he was a prodigy in charms and DADA ,it's just that the lack of books and spells were holding him back to reach his full potential.
As he stopped in front of the frozen wooden door ,He took out his wand and aimed it towards the door ,"Incendio" Jets of flames began to burst through his wand and directly assaulted the frozen door, The ice on the wooden door began to melt slowly with a sizzling noice , After minutes of casting 'Incendio' He finally stopped and tried to push the door ,The door was hot ,But not as hot as to burn your skin, He didn't remove his hand from the door ,he continued to push the door, But it still wouldn't budge a inch. Blair took a deep breath before retreating few meters, Again pointed his wand towards the door, Making a trangular motion before shouting 'Bombarda' ,The door opened with a loud bang ,Blair looked through the entrance ,There was a vacant Room ,similar to Charms classroom with an old table in middle of it and 4 stone sculpture of knight standing at 4 sides of the table ,each of the knights were holding 4 feet long sword and a 2 feets radius circular shields. It was As if they were protecting the old wooden table, There was an old leather cover book on the table ,There were small cracks spread out all over the leather of the book ,As he approach the table ,He was stopped by the two knight with their swords crossing each other making an 'X' in front of him, He sighed while retreating a bit ,He knew that there was no free food in the world ,He had to fight for it .
Blair pointed his wand towards the right knight, Before muttering "bombarda". The knight's right hand exploded with a bang into tiny bits, All of the knights began to move towards him in a slow machanical manner, Swords risen Upwards ready attack. Blair hastily retreated , Before shouting "Diffindo-Bombarda" ,Both of the spells hit the already damaged knight right in the chest, The first spell only left a scratch on it ,As for the second spell, It exploded the upper body of the knight into tiny pieces, Blair looked at the unmoving half knight with sudden realisation , Exploding charms is the way to defeat the stone knights, Other spells do less damage to them. Suddenly the other knight in the right side swing its sword towards him, Blair barely managed to avoid it ,But the next thing he knew , Something hard hit him with a great force on his right side ,he was sent flying towards the wall. As Blair landed on the ground he Felt an immense pain raging throught out his right arm and ribs. He Screamed in pain,His right arm was definitely broken, He tried to control his scream ,As he had to continue fighting. He was cursing himself for loosing concentration ,He shakily stood up ,Raised the wand in his right hand with great difficulty and desperately Shouted "BOMBARDA MAXIMA" ,A White light slither through his wand and directly hit the knight who previously hit him with its shield. The knight exploded into tiny bits ,Leaving noting behind but empty space. ,His hand which was already broken, bent into odd direction because of the recoil of the spell. Blair screamed in pain while running past the remaining 2 knights ,Hurriedly picking up the book before rushing towards the door dodging the attacks from the knight .After getting through the wooden door, He took the wand in his left hand and slashed it towards the giant door,"Colloportus" The door closed itself with a bang.
"Twinky"
"Is sir wanting some.... ,Ah sir is hurting, Sir should quickly go to hospital" Twinky Frantically said ,Looking at his disheveled apperance and his oddly bent right hand.
"I will But first I need you to do something for me, I need you to keep this book safe with you, i will take it later."Blair said shakily,Trying to endure the pain, while handing Twinky the Old leather book.
"Yes sir ,Twinky will keep this book close and safe"
"Now, Twinky can you please apparate me to hospital wing" Twinky nodded before apparating him near the hospital wing. Blair looked at the hospital wing ,While recalling the events occured tonight.
"Next time only concentrate in the fight,"Blair mumbled to himself before opening the hospital wing.
"Sigh.. Back again Mister Bradley"
