23 21) Changes

Well it has been quite some time, since i have been living with the Tonks. And all this can be described in a single world. Comfortable. They forced me to call them Aunt Andy and Uncle Ted. Nymphadora still gets triggered when you cal her full name.

In the first week, Aunt took me to buy some clothes and well lets say they were a bit too much. Though she is a pure blood, due to her husband's influence she likes muggle wear and well this couldn't be any more at home. She basically filled up my whole closet and I was forced to model for both my aunt and Dora. Shopping and women.

Uncle Ted was also very nice. We would play wizarding chess and he would also discuss politics with me after finding out my interest in it.

Black manor would still take some time to repair and well life here was fun.

I was also changing. I still had my pragmatic and ruthless side but now i also knew to trust people though i don't think i will ever reach the level of unconditional trust but still this was a good start.

Another great thing that happened was , well , magic. I was finally able to use standard magic and well lets just say it was surreal.

One night while I was in my room. I had already planned to try using magic and i closed my eyes and focus's on the magical energy and slowly chanted.

"Lumos" and well a very large orb formed on my hand. Honestly, it was far too bright that it ended up alerting uncle who was in the living.

They rushed to my room," What happened Soph?"

He asked in exasperation. I also was a bit dazed, and well then told him about it.

"I just wanted to try doing some magic, so i cast Lumos and well the might was far too much. But the book said it would be a small light."

I also gave an excuse. He was a bit surprised but said while sitting down,"Most wizards need to wait until 9 or 10 to perform established magic. This is because of the formation of core. Do you know what a core is?"

I explained that, i knew the basics. He asked me a couple of question which I answered and well he was a bit conflicted.

"You should sleep for now, we will discuss it with your aunt tomorrow and figure something out." He tucked me into bed and left the room and I started thinking about what just happened.

I knew that my magic was strong, but it should not have been easy to cast it and without a wand at that. I had a liquid core that much i knew. But I did not know anything else. According to the book . The core at second stage is moulded to be more inclined towards a person's talent and aptitude, its colour determines its nature ( Holy or Dark ) though there is nothing wrong with having a dark core but continuous use of dark magic has been proven to be damaging to the soul. I was safe from this effect, but still the cause of it was still unknown even after a thousand years.

As i was focusing, i could feel my core and well it was unique. It had three colours and was like a triple tempest with a single focal point. One was pitch black, the second was shining golden and the last was purple. Now this was a dilemma. I could explain the dark and holy one's by the ritual but purple one was the most amazing. I still couldn't discern the finer details . But it was completely balanced, the three were swivelling about without a single ripple.

I started feeling tired and decided to leave the questions for tomorrow. Well now i had a few dreams to catch.
