Chapter 272 : Shadow

The tension between Orion and the Malfoy had been building for years, and it finally reached a boiling point. Mainly because now Orion wasn't planning to play nice and forgiving.

Malfoy's face turned red with anger. "You think you're so tough, don't you? Let's see how tough you are without your fancy magic mud blood." He raised his wand, and the other Slytherins followed suit, ready to attack.

Orion didn't even bother to reply to that, just saw the little snakes sending one attack after another towards him. The Slytherins cast their spells, but each one fizzled out before it could touch him. Malfoy's frustration grew with each failed attempt.

"What's the matter, you done already, I have to say your parents at least lasted more?" Orion said as he suddenly remembered how many of the dead eaters attacked him Rose not too long ago. Seeing this it almost looks like a repeat of that. 

'Maybe I should do the same to them what I did back there.' A dark look appears on his face.

Draco's eyes blazed with fury. "Fight me properly, you coward!" his father was found dead not too long ago. 

Now he doesn't think that Orion killed them but even mentioning his father's name was a trigger for him.

Orion laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. "Why would I waste my time on you? You can't even get past my defences."

The courtyard was filled with students now, watching the confrontation with bated breath. Rose stood beside Orion, seeing Orion single-handedly picking a fight with all the Slytherin students, she couldn't help but both frown and shake his head at Orion's childishness.

"You think you're better than us, don't you?" one of the Slytherins shouted, his wand aimed at Orion.

"Of course I do, DUD," Orion replied like it wasn't even a question.

Draco lunged forward, trying to physically attack Orion, but the Infinity kept him at bay. He stumbled back, defeated and humiliated. "This isn't over," he spat, glaring at Orion with pure hatred.

He said this and was about to go on his way like always. But...

"Yes, it's not over," Orion said, his voice calm and composed. But Malfoy who was about to walk off was paused in his place. More like he can't move anymore. Something was holding him down.

"Who gave you the permission to got away like that you little piece of shit." Orion tone immediately changes and without bothering to conceal his real thoughts, he grabs the boy with his neck.

Other Slytherins instantly retreated, muttering among themselves, while their wands were still pointed at Orion but due to him holding on to Malfoy, none attacked. 

Rose seeing Malfoy choking, she rushes near Orion. 

"Orion that's enough. Stop." Rose asked while trying to pull his hands back. 

"Gaakkk." Malfoy started to chock.

"Orion." Upon not getting any reaction from Orion, Rose started to shake him. 

Orion didn't bother to answer to her, he was still contemplating what to do. 

He was honestly fed up with this boy. Though he himself wasn't bad but he was annoying as hell. 

Orion while thinking and getting shaken by and being shouted by Rose at his ear, suddenly saw something. Something very strange. Usually, he wouldn't have noticed this but right now his magic makes him very observant. 

He let go of Malfoy immediately after that. The boy fell down with a thud and started coughing.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

Orion nodded. "I'm fine. Just tired of their nonsense."

Rose smiled. "Let's go." She wanted to drag Orion out of there but Orion didn't move he stood there. 

Orion shrugged. "I have somewhere to go, don't worry I will no longer look for trouble." Orion smiles back at Rose and talks off. 

This made Rose confused, she wanted to follow Orion but then just shook her head, and went back. She knew that Orion had been very different since he came back, maybe giving him some time might help.

Orion didn't go back inside the castle, rather he went outside, it was a sunny day even after the end of September, he found a quiet place and sat down. 

'Did I see wrong ?'

Orion ponders to himself.

'That shadow wasn't real, it was magic which was casting the shadow. But why?

Why would she do that ?' Orion pondered, trying to understand the situation. 

'I can't sense any particular magical difference in her, so what's going on exactly ?' 

Orion pondered, wondering what was going on, but then suddenly his eyes captured a figure moving towards him. 

The very same person who he was thinking about. So he immediately calms his features. 

At first, Orion thought that she was going somewhere else but apparently not. She came right in front of him and said. 

"Having a bad day." asked the girl with a beautiful smile on her face. 

Its just that if Orion wasn't extremely sensitive to magic after becoming so strong since he came back from fate world, and that he just saw that one thing which others might never in thier life. 

He might have falled for that beautiful face. But hey maybe he wouldn't considering what her name was. 

"Morgan Fay." Orion said, not showing any interest on the girl.
