Ch 16 - Christmas

Tonks: "Merry Christmas, Harry"

Hannah, Susan, and Cedric went home for Christmas.

They sent me a few books for gifts considering my pension for reading and I sent them storage rings with a few add-ons I made with a badger on them for Hufflepuff.

"Thanks Tonks, Merry Christmas"

I exchanged gifts with her and gave her the same ring.

She raised an eyebrow and put it on only to be surprised to find out that there was a storage space inside.

She gave me a wizards chess set which I really liked.

"Well lets break in the chess set"

Tonks: "Harry, where did you get this ring, I mean I've never even heard of a storage ring"

"I made it, just don't tell anyone. Its also keyed to your magic signature so you don't have to worry about it getting stolen. You can summon it with a thought and it even checks for poisons and potions in food if you hover it over and pulse magic through it."

Tonks: "This is an amazing gift. My gift seems a bit lackluster in comparison."

"Check. No I appreciate the gift. In fact, I haven't had time to sit down and relax to play a game in a while"

Even though I said that I still have clones in the ROR finishing up the defense training.

It should have my base level mana skin be able to tank spells up to level 10 in the ROR by new years.

After that I'm going to have to find a new training regime.

"And that is check mate, better luck next time"

Tonks: "Ugh I even bought it for you for your first game and I still lost"

She looked adorable as her hair turned blue and she pouted.

"Cute, anyways thanks for the game I'll see you around Tonksy"

She sputtered and her hair turned a brighter shade of pink then normal.

I smirked and made my way out of the dorm room.

Surprisingly, enough I ran into Neville.

"yo"

Neville: "He-Hello Harry, merry Christmas"

"Merry Christmas Neville. Do you want to join me on my run around the castle."

He blinked a few times but slowly nodded.

We hung out the rest of the day after the work out which he barley avoided passing out after.

Once you got past his shy nature he seemed like a pretty good guy.

I even convinced him to swap wands.

I'm go back to dorm room and I grab the package that holds the invisibility cloak and immediately feel numerous tracking and legitimacy spells to make me do certain things.

This is going to be a long night.

I took out a silver coin with a rune cluster on it and activate it.

All the tracking and other spells are transferred over the coin.

I made this just for this occasion.

I put the coin in my pocket and put on the invisibility cloak to go through with all of Dumbledork's plans.

I can't have him know I noticed his spells now can we.

I am now on my way to the room with the three headed dog fluffy.

Then after that I have to go to that room with the mirror of elsid... el-salad... elshield... whatever its called.

For some reason it looks like Dumbles is combining these two events since I have been more elusive and I don't have two other dorks with me.

Everything went similarly like it did with the movies and book except when looking into the mirror I saw an older version of me drinking in a bar with a woman I couldn't recognize and exuding a strong pressure.

I looked much more relaxed and unafraid of anything.

I almost forgot that Dumbledore was hovering over my shoulder as I nodded in satisfaction towards my future self.

I projected my sad sack, 'I want parents', routine when the goat fucker did yet another scan of my head.

He went in deeper this time and by the end I was sweating a bit.

I was almost exposed.

That is the closest to death I have ever fault in this life so far.

This just reaffirmed my dream to become the strongest existence.

So strong that I no longer have to always be tense and sneak around like a rat looking for scraps.

I will be the strongest and it won't matter, light or dark, I will decide how I want to live my life and no man, wizard, or even god will stand in my way.

I won't find out until later buy as I declared my will my eyes glowed a bit and I released a bit of pressure similar to that in the mirror.

Thankfully professor 'I have too many socks' had left already.

Days passed and I continued my training.

My clones finished the defense and dodging training in the ROR completely.

I have no other obstacles to add so I started sending my clones to read all the books available in there.

There were thousands but thankfully the amount of clones I could make increased some more to about 200 so I would finish it by the end of the year.

My goal is to basically finish everything I have with Hogwarts this year and then search the castle for any more secrets my remaining years and maybe even try to enjoy myself.

I started to work on another project I had of recreated something similar to Freiza's death beam.

I decided to condense together wind, lightning, and fire elements to create plasma and condense it at my finger and fire it off.

I had to train all of those affinities separately.

It was very similar to Naruto's nature practice with leaves.

In fact I did exactly that but it seems that was not enough.

I need to get my entire mana heart to adapt to the different elements.

The more my mana gets used to it the better so I started to produce some fire and then reabsorb it into my mana stream and then cycle it through my body.

I continued to do this with the three elements and then did two and the same time and then three until I could do it without any pressure, even subconsciously.

I was ready to start creating the death beam which would soon be feared by all wizards alive.
