Chapter 13: Burned.

"What in Merlin's name happened here, is that boy's hand bleeding?"

Prof Sprout rushed towards Liam's side grabbing Liam's injured hands with a worried look and watching. she took out her wand and casted a spell. It was a spell to stop more blood from flowing out.

"Cedric take him to the infirmary as call madam Pomfrey, Quickly" she said in a loud voice.

Following Prof. Sprout's order a slender, handsome boy came forward "Yes professor" Said Cedric and quickly lifted up Liam and headed towards the infirmary.

She looked at the two 11 year old boys who were a bit far away looking scared.

"Tell me what happened here." Asked Prof. Sprout, she had a very angry look on her face. Students attacking one another is not acceptable.

"Prof. we didn't do anything he hurt himself." Said both the boys in unison.

She had seen Liam before, A pale skinny boy who seemed like he wouldn't even hurt a fly and she had also had heard rumors that he was not able to use any spell as he had some problems with his magic.

Because of this reason she derived the conclusion that 'No matter what you think, It should be the other party's fault!"

"You two come with me." She knew that they were students from Slytherin house so the only person able to take responsibility is none other than Prof. Snape. She deducted 50 points each for such behavior from both of them resulting in the Slytherin house losing a total of 100 points.

In the infirmary Madam Pomfrey, healed Liam's wounds with magic. Liam somewhat had regained his consciousness but he wasn't able to move his body, he couldn't open his eyes but he could hear what was going in his surrounding.

The voices were loud as if some people were quarrelling.

"Didn't you say this something like this wouldn't happen if we give him the potion. But look at him." Liam thought this was a familiar voice but he couldn't actually tell who it was as his head was still in massive pain.

"It's because he drank the potion that he is still not harmed much. Otherwise we don't know what could have happened." Said a voice which seemed old.

Loud footsteps could be heard, it was Professor Quirrell who had come to the infirmary he still had his turban on his head.

"Prof. Quirrell, what are you doing here, at such an hour." Asked Snape who was a bit suspicious.

Quirrell in a weak voice said, "I thought that there was some danger in the castle as I heard a shout so I came out to see what was happening.

"Came out to see what was happening," Snape narrowed his eyes, he was very suspicious of Quirrell as he is not someone who will run towards danger.

Liam had regained some control his body, he moved his hand then slowly tried to open his eyes. Snape who noticed him walked towards his side and lifted Liam's head.

"Drink this."

He forced Liam to drink the same potion which he had had him drink in his office just a few hours ago.

Liam drank it without hesitation.

"Rest here for the night." Said Snape.

Liam's body was still not fully under his control, he fell asleep just as he drank the potion.

Dumbledore looked at Liam's wand which was kept on the table. He picked it up, "This wand, I have seen this wand before. I saw this in Garrick's shop."

Dumbledore had heard what had happened from Cedric, Liam was holding his wand in his hand which was wounded. But there was not much blood on the ground.

"This wand was Brown before but now it has become deep red. It has now let go of his previous owner and now completely become his. He should be able to cast spells now." Dumbledore said weakly, "But just in case." He poured a red liquid on the Bottom bead of the wand. Which was quickly absorbed in the wand.

Quirrell had a very greedy look on his face, he turned around his back was now facing Liam. He didn't want Dumbledore to get suspicious of him. So he didn't make any unnecessary movements. He started walking out of the infirmary.

"Let's let him rest. We'll handle the rest of the problems in the morning." Said Dumbledore with a calm expression.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the morning Liam woke up to see himself lying in the school infirmary. He had a very bad night, he looked at his hands which had nearly completely healed. But still his head was paining a bit.

He looked at the time, it was still early in the morning. He had plenty of time to get ready and attend his lectures. He remembered that he had his flying on a broom lesson today. This made him even more excited but remembering what had happened last night made him angry.

He looked around for his wand, it was on the table. For some reason his wand had changed color it was brown with red stripes but now it's completely deep blood red.

He remembered that yesterday when he had held his wand his hand started bleeding.

'Is this a wand or a blood sucking Vampire'

He had his doubts, but this was the only wand he could use.

'This wand is special, I know it. Maybe Dumbledore knows something about it.'

Liam went back to his dorm room hesitantly, knowing who had bullied his yesterday had made him not want to associate with Mackie and Damian but as they were his roommates he had to comply.

Just as he arrived in the room he saw all his stuff was gone it was nowhere to be found. And the other students had already went to have breakfast.

He asked a house elf who was cleaning the Slytherin house common room.

His stuff had been moved to another room, his own separate room. This had not happened before, a student getting a separate room for himself but as it was a very old and dusty room the students didn't protest.

Liam saw his room for the first time he didn't think much of it. He got ready in a flash and rushed to eat breakfast.

As he arrived near the Slytherin house table he was greeted with many eyes of disgust. He sat near in a corner eating his breakfast.

Many were looking at him maliciously, Liam was already very annoyed.

'What did I do to deserve this kind of treatment' thought Liam.

At the Hufflepuff table, Cedric was having his breakfast. He saw Liam sitting alone and being stared at by the other Slytherin students maliciously.

Michael had just arrived, he was late because he woke up late. He saw Liam siting alone.

"Good morning" Michael greeted Liam.

Liam smiled and greeted him back, "Good morning".

Michael with a worried expression asked, "I heard what happened yesterday. Are you alright?"

Liam With a sad expression nodded.

"All of those in the Slytherin house are pure blood enthusiasts. I heard that Malfoy spread rumors that you were a Squib because you couldn't cast magic. I was very angry when I heard this, how can they even believe this." Michael complained.

But this was the first time Liam was hearing of this, 'So that's why I am being treated like this.' This made him furious.

"Let's not sit here. I usually sit with my friend Cedric on the Hufflepuff table." He had put his hand on Liam's shoulder, "Come with me."

Liam smiled, "Yes" Even though he was smiling he was burning with anger inside.

"I wish they burn to death." Said Liam silently.

"What…" Michael thought he heard something.

"Nothing… " Replied Liam.

He glared at Draco who was laughing and eating. Enjoying his time.

Suddenly the muffin in his hand caught fire burned in blood red flame not even leaving ash.

The flame was very strange, it was Deep blood red unlike the normal yellow flame.

Draco panicked and jumped from his table. The fire then spread to all the food on the Slytherin table.

All the students panicked and moved away from the table.

The fire didn't stop it caught the table. The whole table burned in matter of seconds. Leaving nothing behind.
