HP: I Have "Pure" Magic

Chapter 139: Dora's next stop: France (or) I'm a f*cking Jedi

Snallygaster reached her with surprising quickness, its fangs made of serrated steel closing in on her, ready to rip her apart!

Dora, who was lost in her own thoughts suddenly, one of the sneakoscope blared out aloud, startling her!

At the same time, she heard an even louder sound from very close behind her!

"CLANG! CRUNCH!"

Hearing such a loud noise so close behind her, Dora's hair stood up on the back of her neck as she quite changed course, turned around, and drew her wand, all at the same time. She did all this while still clutching the egg to her chest.

*Zoom*

Her wand whipped and a shield instantly came into existence behind her even as she turned around, only to see

"Nothing?"

There was nothing behind her... Not a single thing...

*shiver*

Feeling legit spooked, she leaned back quickly, making the broom accelerate towards the direction of the exit.

She only now realized that in her excitement, she'd forgotten to re-apply the stealth charms on her herself.

'#$&@!' Dora cursed her clumsiness. Thinking that maybe coming alone was a bad idea.

"Maybe I'll just come with Moody from next time after all," she decided.

She remembered Chris's words: "You don't have any plot armor on you, so just be careful. It's very easy to lose one's life in this world. And also, avoid werewolves at all costs."

Dora supposed that the words were quite reasonable. But the last line seemed to come completely out of the blue. She wondered if Chris had some kind of phobia with werewolves.

'Maybe he also got that room of requirements test, where the Werewolves suddenly start attacking out of the blue,' she thought, remembering the time it happened to her once and the werewolves surrounded her and started calling her 'Nymphadora'! She really hates being called that. (In Ch. 29)

"That really was disgusting," she fumed, not knowing that Chris was actually the one who thought it would be a nice prank at that time. Though Chris himself also didn't know that Dora would almost get traumatized. He later felt quite contrite and guilty for going too far.

(Though...the trick did work. Dora kinda hates werewolves now...

If Chris gets to know this, all the guilt would instantly vanish and he'd put on a Dumbledore expression: It was...for the greater good.)

After applying concealing her presence thoroughly this time, Dora quickly left this place, with the egg safely secured in her embrace.

Only after she'd left did a huge silhouette of a dragon-like creature became visible as it fell towards the ground. Everything about it was fine, except for the fact that its neck had been thoroughly crushed.

The bulletproof hide, that was supposed to be one of the toughest in the world, was pierced like it was a tofu.

...

When Dora actually reached the cottage, it had already been one and a half hours. She quickly did some of the exercises practices of her daily routine. Luckily, Moody took longer than he'd said so her exercise was complete.

After her exercise, she started once again tried to observe if there was any change in the egg. She didn't know was that, since she wasn't directly able to insert the magic into the egg safely, it was going to take some time before it matured.

'I'll need to meet Chris to see if he can do anything about this,' she thought, but she didn't know that her wish would be fulfilled sooner than she'd expected.

...

Moody, who was just done with the work he had gone to do was now thinking about where to visit next.

In actuality, he'd been on a mission or request from Dumbledore. Moody was perfectly aware of the fact that Voldemort was, infact not dead yet. What he's been doing is: Visiting those places in the world where Voldemort might be hidden and find his current whereabouts, or atleast find the trail of his past whereabouts.

So, he'd also brought Nymphadora with him, since such a talented child should definitely be brought to its full potential. That kid will do well as an Auror.

Moody was a bit skeptical about Voldemort's survival in the beginning or rather, he wanted it to be false, but after Dumbledore told him and even showed him memory or the wraith form in his pensive, it could no longer be denied. Voldemort was still alive.

Thus, since Moody was already planning a world tour in his retirement, he decided to take on the mission as well. Hence he's been trying to find the clues everywhere.

Sadly Moody has not had much success here in America.

"Now where to next?" He murmured as he checked the list again.

In the list, many places were crossed and some were still left.

-Albania X

-Amazon X

.

.

-America X

-France

"France, huh?" Well, hopefully France will provide him with something in his investigation. But there were still some places left to check out in New World (America) before they leave.

...

Albus Dumbledore was confused. He had been experimenting with the sword of Griffindor these days, and no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to bring out a power similar to what young Chris had unleashed.

'Such a shame,' he thought. It was shameful indeed if he, the true successor of Griffindor can't bring out the true powers of the sword of Griffindor while a Ravenclaw child can.

Dumbledore was able to learn all the wand-related magical skills of Gordric Griffindor, but he'd never been much enthusiastic about the sword aspects of Griffindor's skillset.

Oh yes, Dumbledore was indeed the successor of Griffindor. His magical skills and strength weren't something that he got naturally to defeat even Grindelwald, who had gone through various rituals and even had the allegiance of THE Elder Wand. No. Dumbledore had found his fortune his Hogwarts, and that's why he suspected that Tom also got found something similar here, if Tom's Parsel-magic is any indicator.

Sighing, Dumbledore looked at the sword in his hand.

'Perhaps, it would be for the best to have Mr. Martin use it once again. And have him explain how he's able to bring out it's powers.' He decided. Afterall, he also had a promise to keep with the young boy.

But before giving it to Chris, Dumbledore at least removed newest the Basilisk poison effect from it. As a precaution, Dumbledore even dulled the blade by quite a lot.

He was Griffindor's successor, so he of course knew how to do this.

MC POV:

Muhhahahaha!

I was laughing with my hands spread apart right now. Because currently, I have the sword of Griffindor in my hand.

The old man finally gave it to me. Well, the geezer wanted to see if the sword will react the same way or not. I'm sure he also must have tried doing the same at least once. I know that even if he might have gotten some results, he won't be able to do something quite like me.

Dumbledore, of course has always known about the sword of Griffindor. Why else would he bring the sorting hat into the Chamber otherwise? That old man must have summoned it at some point in the past. But was likely unable to make much use of it apart from its high sharpness.

So, after seeing the sword used like that by me, he must have gotten a huge shock.

Well, what does it have to do with me? I got the sword, so that's all that matters.

I'm in the room of requirements right now, and I'm going to do lots of tests with this sword to have fun- *ahem* I mean, to do research.

The final goal is to make a sword of my own, which would be designed for me, and not use this borrowed blade.

It's not going to be a one-day task, since I'm going to have to do a lot of research on a lot of things before I eventually make one, but hey, anything to satisfy my geeky heart.

Swords...

Since childhood, swords are something which I've found in almost every popular thing one way or another.

Star Wars, Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Excalibur, Durandal, Caladbolg, Katanas like Masamune, Kusanagi... this is just the start. The list goes on and on. Heck, even Harry Potter series has the sword of Griffindor.

Thus, after having a taste of that attack which I unleashed with the sword, I can no longer control my inner geek.

"I need to learn the way of sword. My geeky desires I must fullfil."

Oh man, I'm turning Yoda mode, aren't I? When you look at the dark side, careful you must be. For the dark side looks back.

Well, let's start the Experiments.

I held out the sword in front of me.

"Diffindo!" I shouted.

Nothing happened.

If this was my wand, the spell would have worked. So, it seems that the sword won't always draw out magic.

But in the chamber at that time, it was almost as if it was able to conduct and even amplify my magic by quite a lot of its own accord. So, it's not like it can't channel my magic right.

Most likely, it's refusing to 'draw' my magic. Which would make sense, since Griffindor wouldn't want just anyone to grab his sword and start casting magic.

"If it's refusing to draw my magic, then I'll just draw it out myself," I muttered.

I first recalled the exact feeling of the Lumos spell. Then, after activating the trigger, I channeled it into my hand that was holding the sword.

*Znnnnnnn*

The sword vibrated in my hand as strands of pure magic started to flow into it. And the Rubies encrusted into the sword began lit up, and the blade itself began to shine with a light green glow!

Seeing this, I start to laugh sinisterly.

"Hahahahaha! I'm a muthef*cking Jedi from now on!"

Now I've figured it out. This sword is like a wand. It won't draw magic from just anyone. Every wizard's magic has a different feel to it. And only those wands bond with you, with which the nature of your magic matches.

If you have a good nature, your intentions would be good (to some extent) and the Unicorn core wand would bond well with you. If you have an aggressive, temperamental, or flamboyant nature one of some dragon strings might do the trick.

So, not necessarily every wand would 'draw' your magic out of your core. 'Drawing' and 'Channeling' are two different term. The most difficult thing is to draw out your magic from your core. Except for me, even Dumbledore would only be able to draw out very little magic from their cores (Just enough for a spell). While on the other hand, I'm currently continuously drawing out magic enough to cast several spells.

Thus, the sword didn't respond to the orthodox way of casting magic. Because it might be enchanted to draw out on Gordric Griffindor's magic. But! it can still channel the magic which I draw out myself and pour into it.

After drawing out the magic, the sword can channel and amplify it, even if I'm not Gordric Griffindor.

"Let's check this out." I said, my voice practically quivering with excitement. Why? Because I can already anticipate how cool it's going to be!

With a mental order, several dummies came out of the ground. First one right in front of me and the rest distributed over various distances.

I lifted up the sword that was glowing with a light green light

And casually slashed the dummy in front of me.

*Zzznnnnn*

Woah...

*Slick* *Thud*

The sword cut through the dummy like butter.

How?

The spell signature which I copied and drew out, 'Diffindo', is also called the Severing Charm. With an unlimited supply of Severing energy covering the sword, the practice became a lightsaber.

I was now very excited.

*ZZZNNNNN*

This time, I have charged the sword with a considerable amount of Severing energy. The glow intensified, making the dimly lit room shine brighter.

I took a Quick-Draw stance. It's a stance in which I'm holding the sword sheathed next to my waist, read to draw, One foot in front of the other.

"HAA!"

Then, I swung out the sword in a wide arc as fast as I could.

*SLASH*

*ZZZNNNNN*

A thin but very bright horizontal sword beam spread out of the slash and the light dissipated slowly after that. The room returned to normal if nothing happened.

*Slick* *Thud*

But then I heard the noise of something sliding, only to see the upper half of a Dummy slid down, cleanly cut in half.

Then

*Slick**Slick**Slick**Slick**Slick*...

The rest of the Dummy's followed suit, all cut cleanly in two.

"...."

I stood there in shock for a few moments, but soon after, a laugh escaped my mouth.

"Heh...hehehe....heheHAHAHAHA!!!"

Ooh yeah baby, I'm definitely getting myself a sword!

***

A.N.: How did you like the Sword Magic?! Should MC delve further into it or not?

(hope you guys know some Star Wars to understand the references.)

Also, Dumbledore turned out to have a few mysteries and cheats of his own, huh? Well, that'll explain a lot of things.

P.S. I really can't wait for Dora to go to France!
