21 A small Talk.

25 January, Headmaster's office

"..... This is my final warning to all of you If I saw anyone of you fighting in the school hallways, You will be immediately expelled from the school, without any questions asked. Now you may leave, Mister Bradley please stay Behind" The headmaster was sitting on his chair, Calmly looking at the students who started leaving the office. Bellatrix was the last one to leave the office. She was walking in an odd way, Apparently one of his cutting curses hit her leg.

After everyone was out The headmaster asked Blair to sit on the chair in front of him.

"Now mister Bradley, why don't we talk about the dangerous magic you have been using lately." Dumbledore said in a light voice, His blue eyes Piercing at Blair. As if trying to solve a mystery.

"Where did you find this spells?"

"Restricted section, Sir." Blair answer the headmaster without any hesitation, He didn't want to reveal the leather book's existence to anyone. He still wonder to himself, why did he give a copy of the book to Olivia, Normally he would have not given this book to anyone.

Maybe he saw himself in her 'Helpless, alone in this world' or maybe he despirately wanted a company. Even he couldn't answer this question.

"And may I ask, Which Elemantal spell did you use, That nearly destroyed the astronomy tower." Dumbledore gave a sigh.

"It was a fire cutter spell" Blair said, regretting as soon as he said that, He just realised that the Fire cutter was also a spell from the Leather book.

"And the incantation" Dumbledore leaned forward on his desk.

"Flammasectum"

Dumbledore frowned a bit before blankly looking at his desk. Both sat there in silence, Blair didn't say anything as he knew the headmaster was thinking about something. After a minute of silence, The Headmaster again looked at him with recognition in his eyes.

" Mister Bradley, I don't know where you got this type of spells, But I must advise you to not use any type of elemental spells, More accurately fire spells until you have a perfect control over your magic. No matter if its a normal fire-making spell or an incendio spell. Just don't use it until you give your O.W.Ls." Dumbledore said seriously, His Blue eyes again intensely piercing at him.

"Yes sir, But may I ask the reason for this"

" Sigh, Mister Bradley there is a reason why people don't allow young students to perform dangerous Dark magic. When you are young, your Magic is still developing, To be more precise your Body is still adapting to the flow of magic through it. You performed quite a dangerous spell last year"Blair's eyes widen a bit" Because of that spell, your Magic instinctively produces the Black flames whenever you try to cast a fire spell. There are advantages and disadvantages to this situation, even though thr cursed Flames are powerful and deadly spells, they also are quite volatile and difficult to control. A small mistake could be deadly even to the caster. So you must be very careful while using any fire spell." Dumbledore then leaned back on his chair and gave anothe sigh.

"You must also realise the gravity your situation in the Astronomy Tower. You could have unintentionally killed those students or even your friend Miss Blackneal with that spell, And let me tell you something Mister Bradley, regret is one of the worst things that can ever happen to a person. You will drown yourself in it, with no way to fix it." A hint of pain flashed Through those old blue eyes "Your actions makes me wonder if you really are in Slytherin."

"Sir, When I saw Olivia laying on the floor in a pool of blood, I just couldn't think rationally. I was blinded by rage." Blair's hand clenched into a fist as he remembered the Scene in the Astronomy tower. Dumbledore gave another sigh, before getting up from his chair and began to pet his Phoenix. The Phoenix also closed its eyes and leaned its head against his hand, enjoying the petting.

"Next time, please think twice before casting such spells, Now off to your bed" With that Dumbledore gestured him to leave.

Blair entered the Dungeon after visiting Olivia, Who was still resting in the hospital wing. The Slytherins in the common room all stared at him from the moment he entered the room until he went to his dormitory. Blair could see a very small amount of fear in their eyes.

He was exhausted, physically as well as mentally, So Sleep embraced him as soon as he touched the bed.

20 June, Train compartment.

Blair and Olivia were sitting in the train compartment opposite to each to each other, Talking about various things. The Life in Hogwarts after the fight of Astronomy tower became more bearable, There was no one openly calling them Mudblood. Blair rarely heard that word and that was only when the Slytherins talk among themselves. As for Bellatrix she just glared at both of them for the first few weeks, before turning indifferent towards them. It was not only her, every single Slytherin in the School turned indifferent towards them, It was as if they never existed. This indifference was greatly appreciated by both of them.

"The summer is so boring, No magic, no new books nothing" Olivia said while looking outside through the window.

"Oh come on, you are the last one to complain, At least you have my books to read whereas I have nothing to read until our Hogwarts letter comes." Blair sighed "I will have to learn Occlumency this entire summer"

"Ya Ya tragic hero" Olivia rolled her eyes" Anyway let's meet this coming Saturday on our usual meeting spot. From there we can wander around the alley"

"Ok"
