Chapter 103: Discovery

The Yule Ball was coming to an end. 

Hermione and I spent time together until late into the night while dancing again to slow music and talking about magic and the possibilities in her world.

"...space magic. This book contains spells for expanding space that date back to ancient times."

"You've delved pretty deep into theory, but what about practice?" 

I asked as we swayed in a slow dance. 

She leaned her head against my chest and simply talked about herself and her magical knowledge.

"After I nearly destroyed the Room of Requirement, I was afraid to use powerful magic." 

She confessed. 

"Hmm, I think I can help with that. It won't be hard for me to create a suitable training room with a separate space that won't fall apart because of your magic. Furthermore, I can help you with other spells while I'm here."

"I would appreciate that... teacher." 

She added it with a hint of mischief in her eyes.

"Yes, keep stroking my ego..." 

We continued dancing and then stepped out into the fresh air. 

"It's beautiful here..."

"That's for sure. I thought I was in a fairy tale when I arrived here." 

She spun around with closed eyes and a smile on her lips. 

"However, it became clear that people are just people over time."

"You're right, and you know what else I see here more beautiful than the Hogwarts?" 

I asked while looking into her eyes, and she understood me by the sudden blush on her cheeks, neck, and the tips of her ears. 

"You..." 

I leaned in towards her, who froze in anticipation and slight fear. 

A gentle kiss passed quickly enough, but it left an unforgettable impression.

"Tony..." 

I heard so much embarrassment in her voice for the first time. 

However, there was no talk of any more intimate closeness because she simply wasn't ready for it. 

She returned to her room because it was time, and she couldn't walk around Hogwarts at night. 

I stayed in the main hall where Albus soon arrived and began restoring the room to its original state with a wave of his wand.

"Albus." 

I addressed the old man. 

"There's a part of someone's dark soul in Potter's mind..." 

I hinted to him that I'd like to know what it was. I know what it is myself, but the headmaster doesn't know what I know.

"It's one of my mistakes that led to this outcome." 

He smiled wearily, and there was still a lot of pain and sadness in that smile. 

"Let's go to my office if you don't mind. I think we have something to talk about..."

In the headmaster's office, he told me firsthand about the prophecy, about Voldemort, and the deaths of Lily and James Potter. 

We also discussed Hermione's visions. 

He noted them, and he and the Order of the Phoenix were already preparing to capture the dark wizard. 

He is now more than sure that these visions were caused by me... and he was very curious. 

He's over a hundred years old, but he still loves magic, and he was very curious when I asked for permission to rebuild the Room of Requirement.

"Yes, I noticed that the young Granger has become stronger, I must admit much more magically powerful over the past few months." 

He ran his hand over his beard. 

"Since she's acquainted with a creature like you..."

I waved my hand to the old man.

"And yes, fate has truly linked us. That's why she's getting stronger and seeing what other creatures are capable of..."

"Other creatures?" 

He became concerned at these words. 

"Many... as powerful as you?"

"In this world..." 

Over these hours, I've managed to "scan" the entire planet, which wasn't that difficult.

I haven't found any magical signatures that stand out, but that's not enough.

I'll need to fly over the planet more carefully to find out. 

"...I doubt it."

"Other worlds... when I was young, I always loved to travel and study magic. There was a time when I thought my friend and I were at the top of the world. Of course, that wasn't the case, but we were foolish and young, but your appearance truly showed me how small I still am." 

Dumbledore's smile was more of a smile of relief this time.

"There are countless worlds where there are real gods, mortal warriors capable of fighting on par with gods, and sometimes those who can destroy the entire universe... So, about the Room of Requirement?"

He gave his permission, and we headed to that room together. I began to work my magic while Albus watched everything. 

He was like a child who had seen a somewhat amusing miracle. 

The room itself was enchanted with interesting charms.

These charms transform everything inside as the student needs them at that moment. 

He knew about this room and had studied all the charms here over fifty years ago, but what I was doing...

I was using my Will to change reality and magic, but not the kind the headmaster was used to. 

There were no complex formulas or waving wands here. 

The Room of Requirement truly moved to another space entirely, and even a hundred Dumbledores couldn't destroy it if they wanted to. 

Its functionality remained the same, but I improved it and took it to the next level.

In addition to this room, there were other interesting places he called "Cursed Vaults". 

There were five rooms created by the founders... Albus had long since checked them all. 

The Vault of Ice, Vault of Fear, Forest Vault, Sunken Vault, and Buried Vault. 

These rooms didn't hold much interest for me, but they were part of Hogwarts.

"This... I don't even know what to say." 

Dumbledore exclaimed with obvious delight. 

"This is a completely different side of magic... You did everything so effortlessly. I can perform wandless magic but it still doesn't compare to this."

"There are different schools of magic, and even here in this world, magic works differently."

I told him. 

"So, about these... yokai?"

"Magical creatures..."

In this world, there are yokai as well. 

They are considered a magical race distinct from humans, much like Veela. 

They would be considered magical animals or beings—there's a lot of racism. 

They are pretty dangerous creatures and have often lived in Japan since ancient times. 

There were some yokai capable of destroying entire cities, but they passed away... as far as Dumbledore knows. 

There are many species of yokai, and they were eternal enemies of Japanese wizards... until the eighteenth century when peaceful treaties began to be concluded between some yokai and wizards. 

At the moment, yokai live in their territories and do not really want to interact with humans, and all those who disagree with this usually become "traitors." 

Those dangerous yokai can take down even several squads of Japanese wizards depending on the yokai themselves.

Dumbledore has helped the Japanese Association of Wizards several times with powerful yokai who went completely berserk, ripping civilians apart in blood and death. 

However, they fear and respect him since he is considered the strongest wizard.

Until the next morning, I was busy studying Japanese yokai. 

I didn't find anything particularly interesting.

They were all not particularly powerful, and the strongest yokai were weaker than Dumbledore himself.

That was until the Yokai location appeared to me.

I flew across Europe on my way back to Hogwarts to get a better look at this world and maybe find something.

Indeed, I discovered something in Britain, more precisely near the town of Penrith located in Cumbria. 

Then, I felt a distortion in space even more than in Hogwarts itself near the Pennine Mountains.

"Is this an old castle?" 

I noticed something like old ruins from which magic emanates, and ordinary people simply do not notice. 

It seems to shift in space for those who do not see it. 

An ordinary person will just pass by without touching anything. 

This used to be some kind of castle, but now magical distortions emanate from this place... 

I think the same Apparition simply won't work here because of this.

I began to analyze these magical distortions when I landed on these ruins... and some powerful ritual was performed here that left a hole in space itself. 

There are Time-Turners in this world, and they allow creating a time loop and making the possible real. 

If no major and "unreal" changes are made, then this "possibility" can become real.

There was a whole crypt where strong magic could still be felt, stronger for ordinary wizards with three bodies.

"King Arthur?" 

I was given the name of the legendary King of England while analyzing one of the bodies.

What is surprising is that the two other bodies were preserved much better.

One male and the other female.

"Morgana Le Fay and Merlin himself... unexpectedly."

I muttered. 

"What happened to you..."

The bodies of the two wizards still contained magic, but Morgana shimmered with this magic... as if she were not dead at all but simply in stopped energy. 

Moreover, in the center of the room floated a fairly large crystalline object containing a huge amount of magical energy... and souls.

It contained over fifty thousand human souls, and this crystal is responsible for the fact that the bodies of the two wizards have not yet crumbled with time.

Merlin's soul is also trapped in this crystal. 

I immediately understood this by comparing the auras of the dead body supported by the crystal and the strongest captive soul. 

However, Morgana's soul is not there because she is still alive, but she does not wake up for some reason.

"Well, no one in this world prevents me from looking into the past and seeing everything with my own eyes..."

I focused on my desire to see the past of this place or rather the past of these two legendary wizards. 

I had more than enough power to do this especially since Thoth's book had rituals for doing this kind of thing.

...

"The ancient wizards had quite a time here." 

I stepped away from viewing the past and looked again at Morgana whose soul was truly slowly recovering from that spell.
