25 Difference between Killing and Murder.

25 September, Room of requirement.

"Stupefy"...

A thud Noise resonated across the large empty room. There was nothing in it other than 2 figures. One was standing with his wand in his right hand while the other one was lying frozen on the ground. Pieces of rocks and burned wood scattered all around the room. There was also a dog's head made of stone lying in the corner of the room both of the figures.

"Rennervate"

"My transfigured Dog was so close to biting you" Olivia said, Still laying on the ground while looking at the ceiling.

"I was waiting for it to come closer because it is highly unlikely to miss the target when shooting in a close range" Blair walked forwards before extending his hand towards her. Olivia grabbed it, slowly getting off the ground and dusted off her cloak.

"Just admit it that it was a close call"

"Let's go, it's already past curfew"

Blair didn't reply to her, he walked towards the entrance, Olivia followed right behind.

The hallway was empty. It was so dark that they both couldn't even see their own hands. Blair took out his wand and casted 'Lumos' and started heading towards the stairways, with Olivia following his lead. Just as they reached near a painting of an old woman sleeping on her chair, They heard a familiar voice from behind.

"If it isn't the two mudbloods"

Without even wasting a second, Both of them turned around and drew their wands towards the voice. In front of them stood Bellatrix Black, With a curved wand in her hand. She had a provocative expression plastered on her face. It was clear that she wanted to provoke them.

"What do you want Black" Olivia spat out venomously. There was pure hatred in her, she was ready to attack her. As for Blair, He wasn't surprised by her venomous tone as he knew that Olivia held a grudge against Bellatrix from the moment she entered the school and that grudge intensified after the astronomy tower fight.

"You have some nerve talking to me like that. I..."

But Before she could finish her sentence, Blair got a hold of Olivia's hand and walked towards the dungeon. He didn't want to fight that crazy bitch as Dumbledore had already warned them about fighting in the hallways will get them expelled and He didn't want to get expelled because of such petty reasons.

"That what suits you Mudbloods, Run" Bellatrix shouted from behind. Trying to provoke them even more.

Blair's eyes turned cold, he still ignored her provocations and continued to drag Olivia towards the dungeon. Both of them walked silently till they reached the Dungeon. Olivia was dissatisfied with Blair's action. she so wanted to curse that bitch. But she was quiet this whole time because she knew Blair must have his reasons.

"Next time, think before acting" Blair didn't say anything else he went straight to his room whereas Olivia just stood there looking at his back. few seconds later a realization dawned over her face. She must have recalled Dumbledore's warning.

After that day Bellatrix tried to provoke them several times But was ignored completely. After several failed attempts she stopped, apparently, she figured out it wasn't going to work.

30 November, Room of requirements.

Blair and Olivia both of them were sitting on their usual comfy chairs near the fireplace which was burning with Blue flames. Blair was reading a thick Black covered book with the title 'The three Unforgivables and how to Abuse them'.

The title might be a little misleading. It has nothing to do with tricks and tips to use the Unforivables. It was mainly focused on the mechanism of the three Unforgivables and why their usage is banned in the wizarding world. But Blair wasn't reading these books for the unforgivables as he had already read about it in 'The secrets of the Dark Arts', He was reading it for the information about souls fracturing due to killings.

The author of the book said that the soul is fractured due to murder not killing and These two are completely different. killing in self-defense is not a murder; nor is a purely accidental killing. Legally, a killing by recklessness, or even a killing in the heat of the moment, is not murder either; a murder must be premeditated. the murderer must have planned and intended to kill.

Blair closed the book before getting up and walk towards Olivia, who was sleeping soundly on her chair with an open book on her chest. Blair extended his hand to wake her up, But stopped in midair. He took out his wand and pointed it towards her face. One can see a rare smile creeping onto his face.

"Aguamenti"

"What....what...WHY DID YOU DO THAT"

"Because it's fun"
