Chapter 59 : Pandora's Book

-A Month Ago-

Everything started after Orion sent his new book 'A Chaotic Core' as a gift to all his Hogwarts Professors.

That day, many of the professors were given a good scare after Red emerged out of nowhere with flames in front of everyone and threw the book at their faces.

'Did I say that Red is still pretty young,' 

Dumbledore also falls victim to this as he is drinking lemon tea in his office on his off day and then suddenly a flame appears, lighting up the office, dumbledore being too used to this, thanks to Fawks, does not do anything and goes to take another sip of his beverage when a book was slammed right at his face, spilling all the tea on his very expensive and questionable dress.

It was a good thing for him that Orion had put a letter inside each book to identify himself as the culprit of the situation although who else can use a phoenix as a courier bird besides the only two Phoenix tamers in the country, but being the benevolence lord of light, he forfeited the plan to use his authority to take payback, like putting cockroaches in his food, yeah he is petty like that sometimes, and honestly, he has soo many of those lying around for this exact purpose.

He with a wave of his wand, removed the tea stains from his clothes and then looked at the letter itself.

"Dear Headmaster,

Hope you are enjoying the vacation.

I just completed my first book and am sending away a copy to each professor, hope you like the book and give me your opinions.

Orion" 

The letter itself was not even in an envelope, it was just there, tugging inside the book.

Dumbledore after reading the very short letter with surprisingly worse handwriting than a 5-year-old, sighed and looked at the book itself.

He didn't even know that Orion was writing a book, he himself has written many books but all of those were written when he was well past in his 30s.

He looked at the pure white cover of the book which looked pretty elegant and had its titles written in golden, "A CHAOTIC CORE" he read and got confused.

What could a 1 first-year student write anyway, he was about to put this book down but something about the name of the book just caught his attention, like begging him to read, at least the first page.

So after pondering a little more, he ended up opening Pandora's book.

And he wasn't the only one, almost all the professors who got their hands on Orion's book early before mass publishing didn't do anything more, correction, they couldn't do anything more and read the book

-Headmasters Office, Present-

"Oh you like the book, I sent it to almost all the professors, I intended to ask about it later on," Orion smiled and said, he was pretty proud of his work, especially the new line of Brooms.

Dumbledore at this sends a wandless legitimacy prompt towards Orion, Orion doesn't even flinch and lets the old man with complete disregard for privacy do his things.

"Ah, I read the book, it would be an understatement if I said that I was surprised by the viewpoints and knowledge you provide in this book," Dumbledore replied only after making 100% sure that Orion was the one who wrote this book.

"Oh you like it," Orion small smile widened and his excitement grew. 

"Yes, everything you explain in this book is very enlightening, May I ask how you came to learn all this knowledge," Dumbledore asked with a smile.

On the side, McGonagall looked even more excited than Orion, she read the book and all the things Orion talked about in the book completely changed how she used to see magic.

"I did some digging, mainly because I wanted to cure my own problem with having weak magic. While most of the things I talk about in the book are just my hypothesis many of those things actually worked for me," Orion said and took out his wand slowly. He didn't want to talk too much about the process of creating this book, if possible.

Both McGonagall and Dumbledore frown a little seeing Orion suddenly taking out his wand but didn't act, they are professors, if they felt threatened by just a second-year student then they don't deserve to be in Hogwarts.

Orion didn't care and with a triumphant smile said, " LUMOS".

And with that, a bright light came to life, to others it was a very basic spell but to Orion, it was his hard work and success, telling others that he is no longer inferior to anyone.

Dumbledore and McGonagall didn't understand what Orion was trying to say with this first-level spell. Orion seeing that they didn't understand stopped the light and looked around.

After finding a quill lying on the table, he smiled and turned his wand towards it while waving and slowly spoke the right spell, which he didn't need as long as he had the wand he could cast the magic without wand movement or spell, his improved magic circuits and control help him in that, but he did it nonetheless to show both Dumbledore and McGonagall.

Instantly the Quill turns into a Golden Snitch and flies all around the office. Surprising both Dumbledore and McGonagall.

Both Dumbledore and McGonagall are masters in Transfiguration and know the significance of what just Orion did, no normal first-year student can do that, even a six-year student will have trouble doing this.

"Merlin," McGonagall exclaims on the side, stunned and shocked, there are two reasons to it. One, Orion was barely able to turn a match stick into a needle just a few months ago. Second, Orion just used a complex spell.

"A complex spell at your age is a very impressive feed, my boy," Dumbledore said from the side and observed the flying snitch, looking for any defects but there were none. Dumbledore wasn't surprised by the power Orion showed, it was similar to any other first or second-year student but the spell itself that was special.

The magic which Orion did can be done by a first-year student, at least power wise but normally they need control over the magic to perform it, this explains that Orion's control over his magic is firm. 

[A complex Magic is adding more attributes to a spell, like flying and transformation.] Merlin said from the side, making it easier for the reader to understand.

(I usually have fun breaking the fourth wall but I will not if readers don't like it, please tell me in the comments)

"How," McGonagall asked utterly confused and shocked.

Orion and Merlin knew why and smiled, Merlin because how something so simple was amazing for the modern wizards and Orion because his hard work and grind paid off.

Dumbledore too wanted to know, McGonagall's reaction told him that it was not just the impressive spell and control of Orion's magic which made her like this.
