NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20: Conflict
The next day Henry suddenly received the memories of two of his 5 clones. He frowned and goes to send a shadow clone in the form of an owl. The result made his eyes turn cold. Slytherin, not just Cassandra's lackeys, but also senior students.
They're clearly targetting him, Henry took out his wand and moved towards the direction of forbidden forest. His magic improved, and he can cast protego diabolica. For professors it won't be trouble to deal with this spell since he isn't strng enough and his understanding isn't on their level yet.
But for Slytherin students this is enough to make them tremble. He goes there while they surrounded him with cruel smiles. But Henry spun around and reddish black fire ring with a tint of gold appeared around him. It defended him against the spells and even burned few of their clothes as a warning.
Yet this guys didn't listen, instead they took out some props and fired black magic. Fortunately protego diabolica is strong enough to defend against them or else he would have been injured by black magic, those spells are enough to melt his skin.
Henry looked at them coldly and commanded the fire to burn their hands. Screams echoed throughout the place. All slytherins lost their wands and their hands are ref with burns. Henry didn't care though, he goes to Cassandra's lackeys and said," If this repeats again tell her that Henry will make sure all your lackeys can't do magic in their life time ".
He then stepped away from there after using aguamenti charm to conjure water snd dispells the water and use weather charms for rain. Henry then get back to the castle again. Meanwhile slytherin students who are injured moved to the infirmary.
Pomfrey yelled at them," What have you done? Those burns are severe ", all slytherins wanted you say something but they couldn't, it's humiliating to say senior students especially seventh years can't even take on a first year. If this word gets out, forget about Henry being punished their families will spit on their faces for being humiliated by a muggleborn first year.
They will lose the trust of their parents and some even can lose their heirship like Marcus Flint and Gemma Fawley, they have brothers and when their parents heard a muggleborn especially a first year beat them, they will not tolerate this and deem them unworthy of their heirship.
They can only grind their teeth and look for opportunities later. Henry meanwhile is in the library doing his own job when a shadow fell on him. He looked up to see Dumbledore, other students although near didn't seem to react to Dumbledore's presence.
It's worthy of being the strongest at this time, Dumbledore isn't even noticed by professors when he slipped through here not to make a commotion. Henry looked at Dumbledore for a while and asked," Good Afternoon headmaster. Do you need something from me? ".
Dumbledore is gazing at Henry and said," You kid really have some weird methods. There are 6 Henry's running around in school. Some students and even professors are bewildered. And if that's not enough you beat up and burned all the hands of some Slytherin seniors. You gave me a headache kid. Severus has to drink a vile full of euphoria potion to calm down himself now thinking about the howlers he is going to get".
Henry looked at Dumbledore and said," No, Headmaster. They won't tell anyone. It's more like they can't tell anyone what happened. After all they're all proud purebloods, if the word is out that a freshman who is a muggleborn beat them all then they will lose their heirship and even will be ridiculed and get disdainful gazes everywhere. It's prestige and pride game headmaster. They won't say anything to their parents or students. Just says they dueled among themselves and got hurt ".
Henry said with a smile while Dumbledore is amused. A student admitting that he beat up a group of seniors and send them to infirmary, it's an odd yet interesting experience now. Because if it's someone else other than Dumbledore, they'll surely punish Henry for admitting this.
He sighed while Henry said," Don't worry headmaster. I'm not some dark Lord that will terrorise everyone. I want to live, just want to live, study magic and grow stronger. As long as someone won't provoke me i also don't care ".
