Valerius's rise begins
All the Slytherin and Gryffindor players lined up for the first match of the season.
Hooch "Let the match Begin"
Lee Jordan
"
Charlie went and dashed with the Slytherin senior grabbed the Quaffle and threw it to one of his ace chasers.
Slytherin beaters direct the ball to the chasers, instead, the Slytherin Keeper gets hit in his stomach.
The Keeper of the Serpents is down, now the Lions are ferociously moving forward for a Goal
Ben Copper goals!!!
Now, 10 points to the Lions
We can see the tense situation in Slytherin,
Amazing Quaffle save Barnaby Lee,
Wow, the Thimblerig Shuffle execution is done,
Merula goals!!!
10 points to the serpents
It seems like Valerius spotted the Snitch, he is going after it.
Wow, the lions in the action, the beater got beaten by the bludger.
So sad, to see the beater getting hit by the Bludger
It seems it's the Bludger's revenge time
Charlie is chasing after the snitch too,
It seems both the teams got fired up,
Wow, look at the Technique, It seems Grindelwald is really good despite his age.
Grindelwald caught the Golden Snitch,
150 points to Slytherin.
Serpents of Slytherin wins the game.
"
"Did you see that? Valerius was incredible!" one Slytherin student exclaimed, unable to contain their excitement.
"Yeah, he really showed Gryffindor what Slytherin is made of," another added, pride evident in their voice.
Valerius POV
~~~
In a particular instance of time, I used the Split mind technique and was able to find the trajectory of the Golden Snitch.
And then Charlie came in my way for my snitch,
I excluded more magic and moved forward to catch the Snitch before Charlie did,
This is not the first time I have caught a snitch, I have caught the golden snitch many times before,
Gramps encouraged me to fly because it was a good way to control magic with our emotions and mind
I caught the Snitch, though was not a competition at all
While I was in the Nurmengard castle.
I played against many German players, who gave me a tough time catching The Golden Snitch.
Compared to them, this is nothing
Then Lee Jordan announced
"Serpents of Slytherin wins the game."
~~~
Slytherin house was celebrating, for the first time in 3 years they had won for the first time, Charlie always caught the Snitch, never letting serpents or Ravens or puffs win the Quidditch match
The difference in skill and talent is just too much.
After the classes,
Valerius went to the Deputy Headmistress Professor Minerva McGonagall's room in the evening.
Minerva "Welcome Mr Grindelwald, what can I do for you?"
Valerius "You're quick to catch Professor"
Minerva "Are you here to tell me that you want to join the Transfiguration Club?"
Valerius "Professor, I'm sorry, I'm not here to join the club rather I wish for your favour"
Minerva "Favour?"
Valerius "Yes, a favour"
Minerva "Do you like a cup of tea?"
Valerius "It's a pleasure to have tea with you professor"
Minerva sent some probes to Valerius's mind, but astonishingly she found an overwhelming wall of solid shield
Valerius "Your actions are giving me a hard time trusting you, professor"
Minerva flipped her situation "I wanted to check if you are an average wizard similar to other scared families, I guess it is not like that"
Valerius "You can't expect anything much less from a Grindelwald, but believe me I'm a natural just like my late mom"
Minerva thoughts 'Yeah, Isabella was a natural too, I think this child feels lonely, I feel sorry for his mother'
Valerius replied "I don't feel lonely, and I will come to my point of visit today"
Minerva was shocked "Were you reading my mind?"
Valerius "Yes, just like you did, I wanted to see your level with mind arts, it seems you didn't sense my probe"
Minerva couldn't deny it, she muttered "Tr-True"
Valerius "I wanted to file a patent on a device I am working on"
Valerius took the paper from his coat pockets and gave it to Minerva.
Minerva "What's this?"
Minerva read through the booklet,
Minerva "A paper transferring device?"
Valerius "Yes, as Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts, I would like some assistance filing the patent in my name affiliated to Hogwarts"
Minerva "I will talk to the Headmaster and by tomorrow morning, let's register the patent"
Valerius "Thank you, professor, I am looking forward to tomorrow"
Valerius returned to his dorms.
@ Common room
Avery "Val can you teach me some spells?"
Valerius "OH, are you showing interest in duelling now?"
Avery "Yes, I want to learn to duel properly and be the strongest"
Valerius "Come to the training grounds, we will learn the basics"
Cecilia, Aurelia, and Nott said they wanted to learn too.
Valerius "Everyone tomorrow at 5 am in the training grounds with your wands"
Aurelia "5 am?"
Valerius "We will start from 5 am to 6 am and get ready for the class and after the class hours 8 pm to 11 pm I will teach you some theoretical things, this is my plan"
Nott "It's too tough"
Valerius "It's a commitment, a price to pay for the power and that's my daily routine"
Cecilia "I will follow Valerius" She came to Valerius's side.
Avery "I am willing to pay the price to become powerful and to build confidence"
Nott "I am not sure how I can do this, but I would like to master dueling and become an Auror, so I will join"
Evergreen "It's not like this, but searching for power is not my type, I would rather concentrate on economics"
Valerius "That's a good choice, I always knew that you were good at economics Aurelia"
@ Headmaster's office:
Minerva submitted the document to Albus.
Albus read through it quickly,
Albus "That boy is just like Gellert, he has the skill to command people, have wits and talent of magic"
Minerva "That boy, we must streamline him so that, he won't turn into another Dark Lord"
Albus "I approve this Minerva, let us back up the boy and complete this patent by tomorrow"
Minerva "Ok, I will go tomorrow I will go with Valerius"
Albus "Good"
