Chapter 59

That night, I kept supplying the egg the with a steady stream of pure magic. It was quite big, the size dragon eggs range from around 12 to 18 inches.

In the beginning, the absorption was very miniscule. I was a bit disappointed by the amount. It was so low that would hardly make a difference.

But, as I kept up supplying small in small amounts for about an hour or so, the absorption wavered a bit. Then, the absorption speed suddenly increased noticably.

The creature had either gained a bit of consciousness, or it's body development had accelerated. Either way, my method was definitely working! This is a new discovery!

This deserves another round evil laugher.

Though it's no wonder that no one knows. How else can try hatching the dragon egg other than giving it heat? They can't even consciously use pure magic yet. The magic that wizards produce are specifically attributed. The best attribute is already fire, the attributes would either harm it, or egg won't absorb magic from it as efficiently as it does from the fire.

So, up to now, the dragons in this world have have been hatching only from absorbing a single attributed magic. And they are 𝑋𝑋𝑋𝑋𝑋 type.

So, I wonder which category would a dragon hatched by absorbing 𝘗𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤, which contains magic of all attributes, would be like? 𝑿𝑿𝑿𝑿𝑿 category?

Now you tell me, does this not deserve the mad scientist laugh?

Before long, it was already nearing 5 in the morning. I stopped using the magic and decided to get some sleep.

I'm feeling quite drained right now and today, there's is actually a special event.

Quidditch.

𝐑𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐖 𝐕/𝐒 𝐒𝐋𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍

So, my bad habit of getting insufficient sleep on the exam night is still there.

Yeah, on exam night, me and my friends used hang out till almost morning, and we'd be like, 'Bro, I can't be believe we've got an exam just 3 hours from now.'

Then another would say, 'Chill dude, no one's studying anyway. Let's play another round.'

"...."

Right now, I was having a similar feeling.

And I've already guaranteed our victory to Andrea in hopes of escaping from Quidditch training.

She's like a slave driver. It's not that the training is too long, rather it's too 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘵. Everyone being the nerd they are, they need time for studies after all. So, that mad woman has designed training schedule for everyone that's so intense, that you can only call her a devil. Don't judge that girl from her deceptively friendly appearance.

I lit up the fireplace with magical wood and left the egg on it. As I moved to exit the small room. Dora still must be sleeping on the bed.

'Should I join her?'->

It's not been long since she started sleeping here, but similar to the room I have created, she also usually creates a separate room for sleeping. So, tonight is a rare event.

'Well, I worked hard tonight so I deserve a reward.'

No convincing enough.

Then, I'd use the one I used to use in my previous life before exams: 'I need to recharge well, so that I can properly cheat tomorrow.'

Making up nonsensical excuses, I pulled the door of the small room open with my heart beating a bit faster.

But, I found out that, Dora was already awake.

The next morning~

"Mate, you look awful."

It was breakfast time. And woke up feeling that I'd give anything up just to have a bit more sleep. But being an adult, I already knew that if you pay for carelessness, then just own it like a man.

I looked at Anthony Goldstein between mouthfuls of my breakfast with bloodshot eyes.

"I'd fine before when the match starts."

"You don't have to be nervous. We've all seen you in the trials." Said Sue Li.

Terry Boots raised his hand in grief. "I haven't seen it!"

Padma, who had just arrived, gave him an annoyed look, "And who's fault is that?" Then she turned to me, "In my opinion, you shouldn't play. My sister told me this morning that she heard that the Slytherins were plotting something for you."

I snorted, "Oh, so kind of them. I love surprise surprise parties!"

"Chris, mate you should take it seriously. They've already been using so many means to intimidate you for weeks." Said Anthony.

I gave a taken-aback look around the table, "Oh, have they? Do they normally act differently?"

"..."

"....."

Infact, there 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 actually many attempts to even corner me, but really, I didn't even pay much attention. They can't catch me unless I want them to.

"HOWDYYYYY HOGWARTS!!!"

"Today's another big match that we've been all anticipating for a while. It's between the two leading teams of the House Cup,

RAVENCLAW V/S SLYTHERIN!!!"

*CHEERS*

I was in the locker room. And Andrea was going through the final instructions for the team.

Andrea then turned to me. "And finally Chris," Everyone in the locker room also looked at me.

"Be careful, you'll be their target. Just go with the plan. I'd be worried about you if you hadn't already shown enough in practice."

I just smiled and nodded. Andrea's serious expression broke down and she messed with my hair.

Everyone also calmed down their anxiety and some patted or slapped my shoulders

"You show 'em lil' guy!"

"Yeah, we're counting on you!"

As we entered the pitch, I was that the whole Slytherin team kept throwing me nasty glances.

Then I heard Lee Jordon's commentary,

"And both the teams have finally arrived at the pitch, the Ravenclaw team has a new seeker, Christopher Maxwell, whose trial had recently caused quite a commotion. Though I bet he can't beat our Harry Potter-"

"JORDAN!"

"Alright, professor. So, Madam Hooch is soon going to announce the start of the match."

*𝐏𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐄𝐄𝐄𝐄𝐄𝐄𝐓*

"And, that's the signal, Captain Nicholls immediately snatches the Quaffle, Marcus Flint go for straight for a tackle- but blocked by Rusty Watkins, the Ravenclaw beater."

"Marcus Flint should try changing his tactics, someone should tell him that this game is not about always trying to hit people."

I noticed that professor McGonagall didn't stop him this time. Poor Slytherins...

"And, Andrea Nicholls still in possession - dodges past Adrian Pucey - and three Slytherin players blocking the road ahead - Ella Harper and Pierce Spencer flowing past by Andrea - and her hands are empty! Which one, of the other two, has the quaffle?! We once again witness the wit of Ravens - and Harper and both in a shooting position - And Flint moves to block one of them, Ella - Ella doesn't have the quaffle! Keeper Blechley moves to block Spencer - Spencer takes position, and straightens,up, to reveal that he also doesn't have the quaffle in his hands!! And Andrea! OH! RAVENCLAW SCORES!!! It was with Andrea all along! it's very difficult to hide the quaffle in the robes, between belly and broom handle, and that why her both hands were free..."

"Amazing use of tripple 𝘗𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘬𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘺, shown by the Raven! And that's why the Ravenclaw team is an annoying opponent. These nerds have seemingly infinite number of tactics prepared for every match!"

"Jordon,"

"Ahem...Now, Slytherin in possession....."

I nodded in heard that we had scored. I was currently trying to find the snitch through honest means.

I mean, I really wanna enjoy some before I get serious...

Currently, their beaters are focused solely on me. And I'm dodging all of their bludgers only by a hairs breadth on purpose. It looks like it had almost hit me and I got lucky.

This way, Andrea can score easily.

But I was already feeling a bit impatient now.

'Am I really going to cheat in the end?'

Just then, I saw Terence Higgs, the Slytherin seeker suddenly shooting off in a burst of speed-
