14 Meeting with a Auror

"fast boy aren't you little kid?" he said as I turned around. "evidently not fast enough," I rebutted as I stared at the man with short black hair, a long black coat, and a standard black suit underneath. I calmed down as I peered upwards to meet the man's gaze. There seemed to be a hint of surprise on his face, probably due to the way I responded. I soon heard him laugh out.

"ahaha, kid, your quite the eccentric one aren't you? aren't you afraid of what a stranger might do? especially one that has been following you?" he asked with a curious face. I shrugged my shoulders before pointing at the rocks scattered on the ground between us, at the pipe 2 meters behind me, then at the coat he was wearing, and finally, I waved my hands pointing at the narrow tunnel we were in. I started to explain as I saw him getting confused.

"it's simple really, I can position myself in such a way so that you will step on the rocks, this will have a high chance of making you lose your balance, an opportunity for me to strike will appear as a result. Second, the pipe behind me can be used for self-defence if needed when backing away from you. third, your coat can be used to make clinches and throws as well as being used for chokes.

I'm smaller and more agile than you in this enclosed space, boosting my mobility while restricting yours. I have a 70% chance of beating you to a pulp, so you can go ahead and try. Naturally, I doubt you would only rely on your physical prowess since you can make a truck disappear. Well, whatever was left of the truck anyway. you must naturally have a trump card or several." I analysed calmly before looking back at his now dazed face.

Maybe I went overboard? Should I have acted like a child and pretended to be ignorant? No! he saw me looking before, there is no point acting ignorantly. But maybe I should have held back on my analysis, I forget I'm currently a 10-year-old boy. The man looked at me deeply before bursting into a hearty laugh.

" you are a genius, fascinating how you analysed your surroundings and already found three different ways to increase your odds of victory. Very impressive If I say so myself. About the vanishing truck, that was so that there is no unnecessary trouble. the magic you used seems to be special but I don't know what it is," he said with a thoughtful look as he looked at me.

He's trying to gauge my reaction again. This time let's dumb it down a bit. I feigned shock before changing to surprise and finally to glee. It was all written on my face as I shouted in joy. "WAAHH?! that was magic mister? are you a con artist? my mother says to never believe strangers," I said righteously as I pretended to be wary and back away a step or two. The man seemed amused at my expression and seemed to buy it, at least for now anyway.

"yes, that was Magic, and to do it wandless and even melt a truck is incredible for your age, you will probably get a letter from Hogwarts," he said still looking at me. I put on a thoughtful look before shaking my head cluelessly and asking the obvious question. "what's Hogwarts mister?" He smiled at my question and began to explain what Hogwarts was. naturally, I barely paid attention and just feigned surprise and shock, sometimes glee and finally, I pretend to be ecstatic.

"mister, you're telling me that I can go there?" I asked still keeping up my facade. It was getting boring I just wanted to get out of here and go home I still have more training to do. The man didn't seem to perceive my thoughts and just nodded. His face then became serious. "for now that is all you need to know, I'm what's called an Auror, it's like the police, but for magic and since you did that to the truck usually you would be fined or worse for using magic outside of school, something you will learn about later. But since you are young and you didn't mean to I will ignore it for now. But, never use magic when people are around the street or you will not be let off this easily again, understood?" he asked firmly. I nodded seriously.

"Ok, so where do you live?" he asked. Once i told him the address he nodded with satisfaction and got closer to me and stretched out a hand. "hold on to my hand I'll send you home right away." he said. I looked at his hand and knew I was going to apparate, fuck this is going to feel so bad, I thought before begrudgingly holding his hand.

he seemed to ignore my facial expression and as soon as I touched his hand I felt my innards being rearranged, it felt Like I was chucked into a washing machine. Don't ask me why I know what that feels like. In an instant, I felt solid ground again. It took me a while to regain my vision as my dizziness was astounding. I think I vomited on the neighbour's cat by accident. I could hear that fucker laughing at me while I puked my stomach out.

He walked towards me patted me with his wand and instantly felt better. Seems to be some kind of spell. " Off you go, back inside, see you later." he waved and turned around, as soon as he did he disappeared. man, I want to learn that spell, but fuck this feeling. I walked inside and saw my face in the mirror. I was as pale as a white sheet of paper. Damn, how pitiful. I walked upstairs unsteadily almost falling a couple of times before making it to my room by some stroke of luck. I tried contacting Drak but he wasn't responding, I got worried but I couldn't do anything, so I sat down and practised Occlumency again before doing my Physical exercise when I felt better. After that, I had dinner and went to sleep.

For the following three months I couldn't contact Drak and I was seriously Panicking, In an attempt to get my mind off of it I practised the charms that I had learned and could now do wandless. Sadly as of now, I could only do Wingardium Leviosa and the clean spell, all others would require me to use a wand which I still didn't have. As I practised levitating the bricks in the backyard, I could sustain 4 at one time. Luke came In and stood at the corner observing my training. He had found me doing this when I first started half a year ago. I soon got up and walked towards Luke who told me dinner was ready. When it was getting late, I found myself on top of my bed thinking about what could have happened to Drak.

Just when I was mulling it over for the one billionth time I heard the oh so very familiar voice. [miss me kid?] he asked with a teasing tone. I was In no mood to entertain his games and spoke seriously. "Drak what happened? why wasn't I able to contact you? are you ok?" I bombarded him with questions.

[relax kid, I just needed a nap that's all. What did you expect, I had to push myself in order to protect you from that truck." he said scoldingly. I finally understood. "was that the second stage dragon partial transformation?" I asked in awe as I remembered the armour that covered my arm. The edges looked like blades and it was covered in spikes and flames. [ yes but since your body would collapse on itself I had to use a lot of my energy in order to circumvent that issue. Long story short your safe, thats all that matters.] he said warmly. The relief in his voice was evident. I cursed my weakness and I also cursed that FUCKING TRUCK PIECE OF SHIT. God damn, two worlds in a row, If it wasn't for Drak I would probably be on my way to my next life.

[relax kid, I'm fine, like I said all I needed was sleep. I have seen the memories of what happened in the tunnel, you went a bit overboard with your explanation but It all turned out well. For now, training will increase, weights will be added to your workouts, you will be doubling your running distance and finally we will be increasing your amount of spell, charm and occlumency training.] he said sadistically. I knew he got a good kick out of seeing me struggle to complete his training. Fuck sake.

Every day after that I struggled and struggled, but I grew stronger, smarter and more knowledgeable. Soon another 7 months passed by.
