53 Chapter 53 : Lost The Train
I asked yesterday when you guys want the bonus chapters, but strangely there was no response, so here is what I will do for this week, I will release all the bonus chapters at on Sunday night.
Before starting the chapter, I also want to say that I am converting back to the 3rd person POV, and only use 1at POV when need to give more insigts about the character.

Orion was in a bad mood, after the general shopping for Hogwarts, he wanted to get himself a new wand, but the old geezer didn't let him.
'We will learn wandless magic he says like it is as easy as sneaking around the castle after Quarantine. Even the best among the current generation of wizards and witches needs wands,' Orion muttered under his breath as he was packing his back.
He raised his hand and pointed his palm toward the clothes he wanted to take to Hogwarts with him, trying Force to lift them and put them in his luggage, and after grinding like his life depended on it, still, Orion was not able to control the force right, it was pretty easy to push or pull but doing anything complex like folding a shirt and putting it in the luggage was almost impossible.
[Remember that it's not just what you want, you have to convey this to the magic around you as well] Merlin said for god knows how many times to him but he just couldn't get a hold of it.
Currently, his force usage is very bare bone, with basic push and pull ability, and range, weight and size limitations. Orion couldn't help but groan and took out his wand, this shit was getting out of hand, he was getting late for the Hogwarts Express, and he might lose the train if this continues.
Not like this was not planned considering that Rose might also lose the train and why the fuck Orion will not try to spend more time with that cute redhead, honestly he started to like Rose a little more than Hermione even after his obvious crush on Emma.
Hermione is well, she is annoying and bossy at least at the start of the series, he didn't dislike her but still, he better like the attitude of Rose over Hermione.
[You are not allowed to use Wand] Merlin said with a stern tone, this old man was usually easy going but damn he can be a bothersome bastard at the very wrong time, like 'use force to open the door of the bathroom until Orion's bladder was about to blast open, like 'use force to stop the alarm early in the morning, bastard I want to stop the alarm to go back to sleep, don't shout in my ears to use force,' Orion woke up after all that shouting, unfortunately saying goodbye to his sweet sleep.
After hearing Merlin, he grumbly put back his wand and kept on practising Force to make his luggage, he didn't have any option but to listen to him, as he was the only source to learn magic for him, at least the ancient magic and get stronger but the old man could be annoying, once Orion starts slacking off, he starts to shout near his ear and even announce his dark history all in the public.
Orion knows that no one can hear Merlin but something about an old man shouting in public at the top of his lungs how he once peed like a dog in the open with one leg up just to see how it felt like when he was a 4 years old, is embarrassing as hell, and yes, that level of dark history Merlin has access on Orion.
"My life is fuck," Orion mutter under his breath.
----
-King Cross Station-
Orion knew that he would be late, so he couldn't help but curse under his breath as he got out of the taxi and rushed towards the station, he didn't even care about the pedestrians and got inside the station.
Upon entering the station he felt like he had come back one year ago when he was ready to go to Hogwarts for the first time, it was magical and he couldn't deny it, "It's almost like after many years I start my favourite game to play the campaign once again.
[Here We Go Again] Merlin smirks thinking about a certain 'CJ' from Orion's memories, he can't remember which game that was though.
Orion looked around, trying to spot any familiar faces while also hurriedly moving towards Platform 9 3/4, and when not seeing any familiar faces, the looming reality that he missed the train got harder to avoid.
The moment he saw Platform 9, he heard a sound. He quickly looked and saw a red-haired girl falling to the ground and all her things getting scattered on the floor.
"Rose," Orion immediately said as the little Loli looked up in panic. She hurt her head on the wall as she was covering the slightly swollen bump with two hands with a cute expression.
"Orion the wall, it's not letting me go through," Rose said and Orion surely caught a complaining tone in her sentence.
Orion looked at the wall and yup, there was magic blocking Rose from going past, it's strange that it was only on Rose, and he knew that he himself could go past without much issue, this piqued his interest, the person who was responsible for this incident in books and movies was Dobby.
'I never thought about it this way but this house elf just interacted with an old magic and was able to block a particular person go crossing it, to some extend could be even harder to completely remove the magic, as this falls in the realm of complex magic, and a house elf doing it was unique if not anything.
[We might want to meet with that house elf, what you say] Merlin said and Orion on the side nodded. But he quickly came towards Rose to help her.
"Don't worry I will help you out," Orion said and after looking around and making sure that the standard notice me not spell was still in place and was working just fine, he raised his hand and applied force.
To even Merin's amazement, Orion not only gathered all the scattered things but he didn't do it one at a time like he used to do in his training, he targeted and moved all of them at once and even put them in the cart with the right order and orientation.
[What in the....] Merlin was baffled, this kid was barely able to control a feather with force in the training and now he literally did what Merlin himself took decades to learn. Perfect Multi- freaking Object control and that too even without looking, not to mention he did it effortlessly with fucking wandless magic using force.
Rose on the side was also wide-eyed like lightning struck her, the pain of her head long forgotten.
"Chant less and even Wand less Magic," she couldn't believe and started to question the degree of damage she just suffered on her head. Now started to get worried as she was seeing illusions. Orion made her stand up and return her glasses back to her.
"Here are your glasses," Orion gave the glasses to Rose and she after realising that she didn't have her glasses on, relaxed a little, all the blame unconsciously and unfortunately fell on the poor glasses and her bad eyesight.
Orion on the other hand didn't realise that he just used force at the master's level unconsciously, in order to quickly help out Rose. But Merlin was different, he with just this one thing saw a pretty obvious pattern in Orion's Force usage and planned to change his Practice style from now on.
[He didn't take out his wand, as he is still not habituated to doing that, all those practices with force, made him unconsciously use force over normal modern magic.
Such potential, good thing I didn't let him buy a new wand, once he gets used to the wand then this potential will die down. No, I need to find a way to get rid of that wand of his...] Merlin mutters under his breath so that Orion who is still with Rose doesn't hear him.
Merlin realized why Orion had so much trouble with Force still now, he didn't notice it because Orion was doing even better than him from the past as he learned what took him months in just days, according to him Orion just needed practice but that was not the case, he just realized that Orion learns learning speed was much faster and he finally found what was holding him back.
[WANDLESS] Merlin thought.

Ho hO Ho hO
And many of you thought that I would be gracious enough to give him a powerful wand and let his talent rot, no my friends.
But those who will donate stones will be rewarded with big and strong WANDS of their own,
wink wink.
While the first year was pretty fast, this year, I will be putting in a lot of details to build the plot more real and genuine, not to mention, I will focus on character development more.
The real story again starts by the end of 3rd year or 4th year to be exact. I hope that you will find it fun to read.
I hope you like the chapter. Please consider giving me some stones. I would appreciate that.
