Chapter 8

As high as the walls rose, so it seemed did the rows of books that encircled a winding staircase in the middle of the large chamber. They lined what felt like every inch of the curving stone wall: shelf after shelf, tome upon tome, boxes innumerable filled with scrolls, every last one of them, there were so many of them that ladders had been erected connecting to a reading terrace above them—which was also filled with books. And, as if books in shelves or on a terrace were not sufficiently excessive, there were stacks of books as tall as Hadrian himself scattered about the floor. The knowledge that lay within them could never be absorbed by a single person in his or her lifetime.

Qetsiyah was now going throught some of Hadrian's books from his library

Hadrian was watching her going through one book after another,so he smiled and said"You have been in here for hours,isn't it time to come out."

Qetsiyah looking away from the book smiled and replied"These books have so muck knowledge,I mean Potions from your world is amazing,although they use magical ingreidents from your world,I could have watered down version of it.Also rune can be used for a wide varity of thing, and Astronomy has so much knowledge regarding celestial events."

Hadrian nodded he knew witches used Channeling, which  is a basic power of witches to draw extra power from Nature, the elements, celestial events, from other witches or supernatural beings to boost their magic. This allows users to harness energies in their surroundings to perform greater magical feats, and cast stronger spells beyond that which one is usually able to accomplish solely with their own magic. Depending on the rarity of the celestial event, more power can be channeled by the witch.

Celestial Events are astronomical phenomenon of interest that involves one or more celestial bodies. Celestial events have long been used by witches to channel in order to empower their magic, and increase the potency of their spells.

Morning Sun,Full Moon with it's various phases of the moon, and more potently the full moon is typically used as a rare, recurrent celestial event for powerful spells and rituals by various witches and covens.

Solar/Luna Eclipse,Comets,Meteor Shower,Mars/Venus Conjunction and even Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights can be used to empower their magic.

Qetsiyah was going through some of the books and one book caught her attention, it was a book on rituals.

Qetsiyah went through some of them and found one Sacrificial protection,Qetsiyah heard Hadrian's past and she guessed what this was asked"This ritual is..."

Hadrian noticing what she was readind nodded and replied"That is the one my mother used,it is

an ancient, powerful, and long-lasting protection.It is actually a sacrificial ritual and most don't do it because one person ultimately sacrificed their own life willingly and to save the life of another.My mother set it up before Voldemort came for me."

Hadrian did some searching to find the ritual and found the answer, the pure blood idiots couldn't accept the fact a muggle could have defeated the dark lord, so they put their half blood into the pedestal.Hadrian always knew the whole love crap Dumbledore spewed was a lie, sure his mother did this out of love.But this was actual ritual she did and if it was just love how many mother's or father or even siblings out their who did the samething.

Qetsiyah really applauded Hadrian's mother for her sacrifice and with smile said"You are lucky to have such wonderful mother."

Hadrian smiled and replied"I am thankful for everything she did."

Qetsiyah held his hand in comfort and both enjoyed their sweet moment.
