6 Burning Anger

He felt a burning pain raging all over his face as he tried to get up from the floor. He could feel something wet dripping down from his face, He tried to touch his face, But instantly took his hand away from it as the pain intensified. He looked down at the place where he was knocked out, There was a small puddle, formed by the mixture of red and yellowish liquid. His vision was quite blurry Because of the gooey liquid obstructing his view. He walked shakily towards the general direction of the infirmary, Hoping to reach there as soon as possible because the pain was too much for an 11-year-old to handle it. After what it felt like an eternity he finally came in front of the infirmary door. He knocked on the door gently because every sudden moment was causing him intense pain. As the Infirmary Door opened, A blurry image of women in white clothing came into his view.

"This better be importan.... ohh dear, lay down on the bed, fast" and with that, multiple disgusting potions were shoved in his mouth, Suddenly he started to feel sleepy .the last word he heard was "Scourgify".

Yet another unfamiliar ceiling came into his view as he opened his eyes. He tilted his head to observe the room, There were lots of bed covered in white sheets with privacy screens separating each bed from another. He could see the rising sun through a window in front of him.

" In normal circumstances, it only takes one night to cure the Furnunculus jinx, But in your case, the Boils exploded due to some heavy impact and on top of that, they weren't treated in time, So it will probably take at least one more day to be cured completely." Blair turned his head towards the voice, There stood a strict looking woman, wearing a white healer uniform. she was probably in her late 20's.

"I don't know what happened to you, But if this foul play was intentional then I advise you to inform your head of the house about this incident" She advised him before pointing her wand towards his face and whispered.

"verum obstrepat" Blair didn't feel anything, But he didn't fail to notice the satisfied expression on the women's face.

"To avoid any unnecessary attention you can cast a glamour charm on your face .The incantation is 'verum obstrepat', There is no wand movement needed, Just point it towards your face and it will make an illusion of your real face. But remember this, The illusion wears off every two hours, so you have to recast it every two hours."

Blair hurriedly left the infirmary, As the breakfast was about to start in 4 minutes. On his way to the great hall, he took out his wand and tried to imitate the wand movement of Madam Pomfrey and whispered 'Tempus'. White Mist Began to come out of his wand like a serpent in water and formed a big 7.47. His momentum increased noticeably as he saw the time.

After entering the great hall he went straight for the Slytherin table, The odd thing was that the majority of the first year Slytherins and some second and Third year Slytherins were mockingly smirking at him instead of the normal disdainful gazes. This was the indication that most of the Slytherins knew about the incident, that occurred last night, Probably the three students boasted about their achievement in the house. Hell, they were even laughing at him.

One can only see him looking calmly at his Housemates, while quietly eating his breakfast. But from inside it was whole another story. He was so angry about this situation, just because his parents were muggles, They treated him like he was some kind of dirt. They looked at him as if looking at a disgusting insect.

Lately, This type of treatment against muggleborns has increased significantly, Probably because of the recently formed terrorist group. This was no ordinary terrorist group, As most of the old pureblood families supported their cause and it's only a matter of time for those purebloods to join them. Blair can see great crisis escalating in the near future and their main targets are the people like him. He has to become strong, he doesn't have much time left.

After getting his time table from professor Slughorn, he got out of the great hall. They had Charms with Gryffindors in half an hour. It took him 15 minutes to reach the charms classroom. It would have been 10 minutes if he knew the way to the classroom. He had to ask the Portraits for the direction. After entering the empty class, he sat on the bench, which was quite near to the teacher's table. A couple of minutes later the Class began to fill with both Gryffindors as well as the Slytherins. He saw Alastor coming through the door talking with a pair of twins. Alastor gave him a courteous nod before sitting in the row opposite to him, Blair didn't pay attention to any of the other students, as he was quite excited to finally do some real magic. The door behind him suddenly opened and a short man with long black hair tied like a small tail came in his view.

"ok students, let's start with your first-ever class in Hogwarts"
