Broken Shackles

Chapter 7

Hogwarts Express and New Colours

Harry came to his room after a fully exhausted day in the Ministry of Magic. He was given a copy of the prophecy which he vowed to decipher in future.

Dobby brought food for him and after eating, Harry relaxed on his bed, fully exhausted from all the activities of the day.

'Damn. That was tiring. I think I should start exercising to build my stamina and strength. After all, exercise is a must if I want to learn full flight and shape shifting' thought Harry, remembering the conversation he had with Mira just before falling asleep.

Flashback Begin

"What do mean I'm weak to keep flying continuously," asked Harry in confusion. He just started to levitate a few feet when Mira suddenly stopped him.

"You are weak, Harry. I don't mean mentally, but physically," said Mira with patience.

"But didn't the ritual correct that?" he asked even more confused.

"Harry, the ritual corrected any irregular growth. It didn't increase your stamina and strength, rather it corrected your body structure caused by your malnutrition.

It developed your muscles, yes. But it didn't give you godly stamina to do anything. You have to work for it to get it, Harry.

Your flying requires magic and physical strength to lift your weight as it reduces your magic consumption and your shapeshifting needs you to be physically fit as well," elaborated Mira.

"So you are indirectly suggesting me to work out, aren't you?" He asked in realisation. Mira gave him a snake smile, which looked beautiful on her face with her intelligent eyes and scales.

"Yes. I don't want my master to be a lazy bum, don't you think?" She further added.

"Ok. I should also explain my growth as Rituals are seen as Dark magic," said Harry, agreeing with her plan.

"How was your meal?" Asked Mira curiously.

"It's good, why?"

"Did you notice anything out of place?"

"No, wh-" Harry was interrupted by a sudden magic spike. His room was engulfed in bright green magic as Harry noticed something change in him.

"Wha-what is this? This feeling, why do I feel as if I have gained elephant strength?" He asked loudly.

Simultaneously with the green light, another blue light was also emitted from his room as it can be seen as a light show for outsiders.

"I didn't think the change would be this dramatic," said Mira. Harry didn't catch what she was saying as his brain was still processing the change.

"We have done it, Harry. At last, Magic has recognised your Right of Conquest and rewarded you for defeating the Basilisk." Said Mira in a happy tone.

"What does it mean for us?"

"Who knows. I do feel more powerful. We should test them as well, I guess,"

"If that's all, I wanna take some rest. I badly need to get in shape," sighed Harry. If he is like this after just one day of learning flight, he can't imagine what he is going to do in Quidditch. He couldn't understand how he played Quidditch without getting tired.

"Don't stress yourself too much, Harry. Maybe you didn't get accustomed to the newly developed body and was using more energy than required?" suggested Mira.

"Ya, maybe. I don't feel this tired even after flying hours on my broom," said Harry.

"Ok. I'm not going to keep you awake. Sleep well. Don't forget to call me when you want to practise shapeshifting and advanced flying and most importantly, in need," said Mira affectionately.

Harry nodded. Though she will come before anything happens to him due to her danger sensing, she doesn't want him to be careless. With a final nod, she vanished from his room.

'Phew, sleep,' thought Harry. His eyes found a blinking object in the darkroom. It was his Gringotts box. He decided to check up on it tomorrow and slept happily without knowing about the letters from the Ministry of Magic.
