First ritual
—Harry pov ---
I need to buckle down, I made too many mistakes, too many errors. Casting individual stunning spells was stupid, foolish, and a rookie mistake. I think it's time I cool off and begin planning and really improving myself.
I took my new Claymore out of my Inventory and hung it on the wall vertical to the painting, I, of course, made a plaque with the date I acquired it.
[the next day]
The sun beamed through my curtains, stirring me awake. I groggily got up and began to dress myself.
Walking through the corridors I passed by the Portraits and waved good morning.
Doera had a wide smile and waved back, "Good morning!" She exclaimed jovially
Charlus joined her and chimed in, "good morning,"
"Good morning my cute little grandson!" Euphemia added with a caring smile, it honestly brightened my day seeing all of the portraits be so happy to see me
"Good morning Harry still wanting to be a criminal?" Fleamont my dear grandfather piped in
"Yep, whatchu going to do about it?" I replied sending a cheeky grin his way
"Why you little trouble ba-"
"Stop your whining Fleamont let the boy live a little!" Dorea cut him off mid-sentence backing me up, she is definitely my favorite
Leaving them to fight I walked down into the dining room and began to eat my breakfast.
Soon Hedwig came flying through the window delivering the newest issue of the Daily Prophet.
Hedwig was a very pleasant surprise after I moved into the manor, she flew down to me all messed up covered in filth it seemed like she had been hunting in the wilderness since I was incarcerated, I don't know how she knew where I was or how I was set free I am not familiar with the lore and details of how owls work in Harry Potter.
Since then she has been delivering my mail for me granted no one can send me letters but I still get the news.
Picking up the issue of the Daily Prophet I skimmed the front page.
-------------------------------------------
Unknown thief! Could it be the work of Harry Potter?
-------------------------------------------
I didn't even bother to read farther than the headline seeing as they screwed me over. What do those idiots think the whole point of the selfie is?
Letting out a long sigh I looked up at Hedwig, "Hey girl, I need you to deliver this picture to luna Lovegoods house, it's right next to the Weasley's." I said softly petting her wings
She took the photo in her beak and flew off with gusto, I'm guessing it's because I haven't asked her to deliver something in a long time.
After she left I looked at the shop, even though I didn't get the credit for the heist I must have gotten something right?
[ shop:

Hmm, I would like to buy the fake credentials but I want to save up and buy Snape's spell pack. I mean snape has spells light and dark my family library doesn't have a lot of dark spells and honestly, I don't see the issue of these so-called 'dark' magics. Not to mention he knows the Legilimens spell that will let me delve into the minds of others. I don't think Occlumency counts as a spell it's more of an art plus my family library must-have books on it.
Before I start studying and brushing up on all of my knowledge I decided to do my first ritual, a bonding ritual. I noticed that the Claymore conducts or sucks magic into it, the only reason for this is because I can see the ambient magic being absorbed into the blade.
I decided to do the ritual in the rec room? I honestly don't know the Manor is huge, this is just one of the empty rooms it's not like I have a ritual room or something, actually, there might be one.
Walking back to the portraits I asked, "does this Manor have a ritual room by any chance?"
"We do have one but you are far too young to be doing rituals." Fleamont said in a cynical tone
This old man really grinds my gears.
"Grandma Dorea? Can you point me in the right direction?" I asked with a 'sweet' smile
"Of course, sweety just go down to the library then find a book called intro to ballroom dancing, then turn to page eighty-seven and read the first line backward." She replied with a bright smile
"Thank you, Grandma Dorea your the best!" I said with a large smile running down the stairs not wanting to hear another fight
I went into the library and started my search. It took me ten minutes, luckily the bookshelves were labeled by their subjects. Ballroom dancing was in class and etiquette.
I turned to the right page and read the first line, it literally said 'open the door for your partner.'
"Partner your for door the open!" I said out loud with a little force
The bookcase slid open ominously, it was pretty cool.
Walking in I noticed that there were some books and some jars, probably ingredients I won't need any for this particular ritual but they will be nice to have if they aren't expired I mean.
Walking out of the room I grabbed the Claymore and my nimbus 2000 Harry kept it in the trunk Dobby retrieved from Hogwarts.
I took both items back Into the ritual room to get started, first I took the Claymore and cut my palm the small amount of pain made me wince, knowing I couldn't stop I began to draw the Celtic symbol of unity on the stone floor using my blood, I then took the Claymore and laid it in the middle of the symbol. Picking up my broom, I began to chant, "I sacrifice my one and only broom, I sacrifice the first gift I have truly received, I have flown on it and cherished it till this day, now let it be used to gift me a bond that I will cherish equally, that I will use to protect my allies and slay my enemies!" as soon as I finished I snapped the broom in two
I could see the magic happen before my very eyes, a mystical rainbow glow seeped out of the broom and into the Claymore, the blood symbol lit started to glow an eerie crimson shade, then it began to wrap around the blade before all color faded.
The room went back to normal and the blade was all that was left. I could instantly feel the bond I had with to, I imagined the Claymore in my hands *swoosh* magically it appeared in my grip, oh I am going to love this.
I took the Claymore and brought it back to its stand on the wall, I can summon it from anywhere, so displaying it with my other acquired goods won't hurt anything.
Finishing up with everything I headed back into the library to buckle down and actually start applying myself when I first got here I did read some of the books and learned some spells but other than that I have been trying to perfect my control. Now though I really need to absorb and apply new knowledge and concepts.
[the next day]
I woke up with a book on my chest, I seemed to have fallen asleep in the Library, I checked the book cover 'Intermediate Magical Theory' oh yeah I remember this one I stayed up all night jotting notes down about this book. Magical Theory really interests me it's all about why magic does what magic does. In the end, it brushed into the topic of why certain languages are magical. Like Latin, Welsh, Swedish, etc. the current theory is they work because they are more ancient and less used, but that begs the question in the past what language did they use if it has to be a less common language. I'm thinking of looking into spells that are pure English but, first breakfast.
As I hauled myself back to the breakfast table Hedwig flew down dropping me a copy of the Quibbler I gazed at the cover and smiled. My selfie was on the first page of course.
----------------------------
Harry Potter stole the ancient Claymore residing in Wellingtonshire!
-As you can see in this photo presumably sent by Harry Potter himself it shows undeniably that the boy who lived was there and took the Claymore. Several eyewitnesses also spotted Mr. Potter in Hogsmeade during the day of the robbery. The question I want the answer to is why? Why is Harry Potter doing this? Is it out of revenge or pleasure?
- Article was written by Xenophilius Lovegood
-------------------------------
Ha, now that's what I'm talking about! This is why I love the Lovegoods they don't bullshit and tell you the facts straight up though I'm surprised he didn't mention a single weird creature during the whole thing.
I know that not many people look at the Quibbler but if I keep sending them photos they will become popular.
Fuck the Daily Prophet!
Opening the shop I saw I have gained enough Fp to buy Snape's spell pack. So I hurriedly went to the shop and bought it, now I only have 200 Fp left.
[you have bought Severus Snape's Spell Pack:
Highlighted spells:
Caligomentis- It creates a cloud of mist to surround the mind of the caster or whoever it's used on.
Legilimens- allows the caster to read minds
Detectus Mala Voluntate- Caster taps on a item (ie: letter, drink, food) to detect if the sender, marker or purchaser of the item contains any ill intentions towards the recipient.
Sectumsempra- lacerates the target and causes severe hemorrhaging
Levicorpus- dangles the target person upside-down by the ankle in mid-air.]
[first spell pack bought new spell pack available! The criminal spell pack is now available!]
Oh, you got to be fucking kidding me right now! All I had to do was buy Snape's spell pack?
Well honestly I shouldn't be complaining Snape's spell pack came with a lot of useful spells.
Deciding to practice these spells in the afternoon I went off to practice my Occlumency.
