Chapter 9

Balthazar said"I'm going to give you the basics. Strictly Sorcery 101. Put on the ring.Now first you are going to learn Element Domain which is a form of sorcery that enables the user to control the four classical elements of nature; fire, water, earth, and air. This sorcery can be mastered by using the Element Domain of the Merlin Circle."

Harry eagerly slipped the Dragon Ring into his finger, as Balthazar questioned"You've heard how people use only 10% of their brains? Sorcerers can manipulate matter because they're born with the capability to use the entire power of their brains. Which also explains why molecular physics comes so easily to you."

Harry was seriously listening to all this as he asked" So, sorcery science or magic?"Balthazar explained"Yes, and yes. For now, all you need is a basic combat spell: Making fire. What causes molecules to heat up?"

Harry answered," They vibrate?"

Balthazar nodded and said" Everything we see is in a constant state of vibration, thus the illusion of solidity. But how do we take that which appears solid and have it burst into flames? We will the vibrations to go faster. Step one, clear your mind. Step two, see the molecules... "Balthazar points at a training dummy as he continued" Step three, make them shake!" Balthazar splays his fist with his ring glowing intensely, shaking the training dummy's molecules to the point of it overheats and burst into flames.

Balthazar smirked and said, "Remember Harry fire is uncontrolled nature.Fire, if left to itself, will consume everything it can. Fire is thus a matter of controlling an element rather than directing it Now you try"Harry nodded as he inhaled as Balthazar whispered, "that's it clear your mind.No see the Molecules," Harry held his hand our as he concentrated the Dragon ring glowed for a second leading to the dummy to spark a bit.

Seeing this Balthazar was surprised thought "He has a Magic Intuition same as my master to get that in just his first try."

Harry was dejectedly said, "No I can't do it."Veronica who also saw this said," No Harry try again you were almost got it on your first try.Now Harry you felt energy pouring to the ring right."Harry nodded as Veronica said"That energy is Mana,now try pour more energy than before."Harry smiled and once gain focus as his dragon ring glow as the paper stack burst into flames. Balthazar stood there stunned as he clapped and said"That's amazing to get it on your first try."Harry smiled hearing that as Veronica gave Harry a hug although he still tenses on contact. But he slowly getting used to it and even calling Veronica mom.

Balthazar then explained to Harry different types of fire spells like Fire surge,Fire shield...etc all of them as he said"The user needs to either conjure a certain amount of flames or absorb any nearby, preexisting flames and enlarges it before projecting it.Also the sorcerer can control the intensity of the flame as well as the shape."

Harry after trying out the spell couple of times and learning how much mana used to increase the intensity of the flame.

As Veronica said"Let's move on to the next element is water the flowing element and the element of change."Harry was nodded as Veronica said"This is basically combining hydrogen and oxygen within the air around the wizard to form new water this also depends on the mana used."Harry was successfully able to control and conjure water easily. Harry noticed once he cast a spell and got a feel of it he was able to do it without a problem.

Veronica then stopped everything as she said"Now that's it for today."Harry groaned and asked, "Why?"Veronica started at harry and said, "Now you my son needs to go out and make friends."

Harry hesitated but gave in as he went outside Harry's knowledge was greater than any university student as he walked along the streets of Hampstead Garden Suburb in north-west London

Harry noticed a group of girls picking on a girl with light skin, bright brown eyes, lots of bushy brown hair. Harry frowned seeing this as it reminded him too much about Dursleys as he shouted"Hey leave the girl alone."

One of the girls scowled and said"Look here our resident bookworm has a friend."The girl was glaring at the group as the Trashcan next to them exploded making all the girls scared as all of them ran away screaming "She is a freak."

While looked sad at the comment as she noticed Harry had not run away as she asked"Why didn't run away like them?"Harry just smiled and introduced himself"Before I answer that, Hi I am Harry Blake."

Hermione was hesitant as she answered"My name is Hermione Granger and you didn't answer my question"

Harry conjured a ball of fire while saying"Because I am like you."

The girl was stunned as she started questioning"How do you do that? What am I?"

Harry gestured her to calm down and as he explained"You are a witch."Hermione was skeptical and asked, "You are making fun of me aren't you?" Harry said, "Then how do you explain all the weird things that happen around you?"

Hermione couldn't answer that as harry said"How about my parents explain to you what is happening."Hermione's curiosity won as she nodded while they were talking.

Balthazar and Veronica were looking at both of them from afar as Balthazar questioned"So this is the reason you wanted us to stay in the northern London suburb of Hampstead and why you asked him to go out?"Veronica while not looking away from the two smiled replied"That girl is an integral part of Harry's life."

Balthazar didn't question Veronica as he knew she was seer as he spoke"We might want to explain to the girls' family about the wizarding world."
