14 Reductor Curse
Chris was lying down on the floor exhausted.
Quest: Catch the Practice Golden Snitch 20 times.
Golden Snitch: 10/20
Reward: 250 EXP, 10 Sickles, and Reductor Curse.
"Alright Chris, let's just end practice for today. Good job catching the Snitch 10 times," Brian said.
"No, I would like to practice a bit more please," Chris said.
"Well it is only 6 so we still have an hour left. Alright, let's practice a bit more. Catch the Snitch 10 more times," Brian said after contemplating for a bit.
Brian then let go of the Golden Snitch once more so that Chris can catch it.
Chris quickly flew up high to see where the Snitch was. When he spotted the Snitch which was only a couple of feet away, he quickly dove down to catch it as fast as he can, but the Snitch immediately flew away from him. As it was still in his vision, he quickly chased after it.
After 30 seconds of chasing it, Chris barely grabbed the Snitch. He gave it to Brian to let go once more and Chris quickly rose up to find the Golden Snitch.
For the next hour, Chris kept on catching the Snitch, give it back to Brian for him to release it once more. Sometimes he was lucky to find it right away while at other times, he wasn't as lucky as he wasn't able to find it until 10 minutes after Brian released it.
When it was 7, Chris finally caught the Golden Snitch the 20th time.
-Quest Complete. You have completed the quest: Catch the Practice Golden Snitch 20 times. Reward of 250 EXP, 10 Sickles, and the Reductor Curse has been given. 400 EXP is needed to level up. Money: 1 G, 16 S, 0 K.-
Chris looked at the Reductor Curse that was seen quite a few times in the movies.
Reductor Curse (Reducto): Able to destroy solid objects.
Original Price: 20 Galleons
'Well, well, it looks like I earned 20 Galleons and 10 Sickles this time,' Chris thought amazed that such a good reward came from a low leveled quest.
"Alright, Chris, we have to leave now. The Gryffindors have the field now," Brian said as he and Chris left. Surprisingly, they did not see Harry or Wood when they left.
When they were back in the Common Room, Brian stopped to talk to Chris.
"Well good job today Chris. Tomorrow, we have our Quidditch tryouts and once we pick our members, Professor Flitwick says that he has a surprised for all of us. So look forward to it," Brian said as he left to go to his room.
'I'm sure that the surprise are the brooms. It seems that Professor Flitwick hasn't told them about it yet. Well since it's better to tell them when all the official members are picked, I'm sure it's fine,' Chris thought.
Chris went to his room where he saw the other first year Ravenclaw boys hanging out.
One of them, Terry Boot came up to Chris.
"Hey Chris, wanna hang out and talk for a bit. We haven't really talked to you since you're always with Hermione and Kristine. We wanna get to know you a little better,"
Chris had a bit of time before he goes back to his regular practice in the Practice Room.
"Sure," Chris said. He went to sit near the rest of the boys.
"So Chris who is it?" A boy with golden hair asked. Chris remembered that he was Anthony Goldstein.
"What do you mean?" Chris asked.
"Which one of those girls do you like?" Anthony asked.
'Wait 11 year olds talk about love story now. I thought that was when kids were 13-14,' Chris thought.
"No one, they're both my friends," Chris said while shaking his head.
"Stop lying to us. I know you like one of them," A good-looking boy with black hair said jokingly. Chris recognized him. He was Michael Corner, Ginny's boyfriend in the fifth movie.
"I'm just trying to focus on school now," Chris said. He didn't want to reveal much to these boys who he didn't really hang out with. Even though they were in the same House, he didn't really consider them as good friends. At best, they were acquaintances.
"Alright then," Terry Boot. "Enough of that. Let's talk about some other stuff,"
The boys started talking about everything from academics to Quidditch. When Chris said he didn't really watch too much Quidditch, the boys looked at him like he was a sinner. Then they started to talk about their favorite teams.
"You know the Appleby Arrows are the best. They defeated the Vratsa Vultures after playing them for 16 days. After that day, I fell in love," Terry Boot said. "You should start watching them. They're great,"
"Arrows are not that good. The Wasps are better," Anthony Goldstein said. "Have you seen Bagman? He's won so many games for us that your Arrows don't stand a chance. By the way, I believe that one of your seeker was forced to retire when one of our beater hit a wasp nest at him,"
The two started arguing and Chris tried to stop it which was met with a loud be quiet. He shrugged and went to his bed to go to his Practice Room.
'They're all good guys,' Chris thought as he went to the Practice Room.
When Chris went inside, before he started practicing, he looked at his status.

'My spell collection is coming along very nicely. Well since we just started on potions, I could just add more later. For now let's just work on spells. Since I just got the Reductor Curse, let's work on that,' Chris thought.
The white space around Chris changed into a room full of dummies.
-500 dummies have been created. Please destroy all of them.-
"Well this isn't so bad. At least I'm releasing some stress," Chris said as he got ready to destroy the dummies in front of him.
"Reducto!"
"Reducto!"
"Reducto!"
"Reducto!"
An hour and a half quickly passed and Chris was barely able to destroy all 500 dummies as he had to rest quite a bit along the way. He was able to level up his spell to level 2
-Congratulations, Reducto is now level 2.-
'This is tiring, but I'm glad that I was able to cast this spell so many times. If I was doing this normally, it would've taken me a long time to just comprehend the spell,' Chris thought.

[Time Limit is up. Host is now going to be removed from the Practice Room.]
Chris was ejected from the Practice Room and when he came back, he once again was forced to listen to the arguing of Terry Boot and Anthony Goldstein.
