Chapter 93 : Christmas Break

"Finally" Orion shouted as he inhaled the pure fresh air of Christmas in. Well, it was not Christmas yet, but this was enough as from today his beloved 1 whole week of vacation was starting.

And thus from today, he took a break from his daily morning routine and decided to just rest and spend some quality time with his friends. This time around, all but just one is staying back in Hogwarts.

This someone was Rose, while Hermione, Ron and even him will be spending their 1 week of vacation outside.

"Oh don't worry, we will be back before you know it," Hermione comforted Rose. 

Orion is not that much worried about Rose as he puts Dobby on bodyguard duty while he is not in Hogwarts.

"So where are you going," Daphne asked. She too was going back to her house. 

"I am going back to handle my business. Although I put everything on my partners but that is not good. I too need to take responsibility here and there." Was Orion's textbook example, the real reason was something else entirely.

"Oh if you are free then why not come to Greengrass Manor for Christmas? " Daphne asked nonchalantly but Orion knew that it was hard to suddenly ask this for her.

But even more than that, she did it to get a little more close to him and gather more information on him for Nick.

"Sure, I would love to, as long as you are okay with a muggle-born coming to your house," Orion teased but agreed. 

"Huh don't be an idiot, the Greengrass family never has discriminated based on blood pureness," Daphne huffed but still looked happy.

[Do you even have the time to visit there ?] Merlin asked.

'I have to, Nick is using her sister as leverage, if I can cure her then I can stop her without doing anything excessive while also winning brownie points with her and the Greengrass family.

This will ultimately add a strong alliance on my side,' Orion replied inside his mind, still smiling at Daphne.

[Oh, since when did you start to play politics,] Merlin had a narrowed look.

'What are you talking about, this ain't politics just helping out a friend while also forming a good relationship which might be useful in the future,'

[You sure this is not because she is cute and that memories of her you saw. What kind of good relationship are we talking about here?] Merlin asked.

Orion just ignored the question and agreed with Daphne.

----

After exchanging some greetings with his professors and friends, he was ready to depart. Rose was not happy but Orion promised to make it up to her when he came back. He already planned to train her and this can be used at the right time.

He also planned to share some Christmas gifts with others, but that will be later, right now he needs to get going.

"Come on, you will be late for the Hogwarts Express," Hermione shouted.

"Yes yes, but Hermione I never said that I am taking the Train ?" Orion said as he heard a familiar sound above him.

"huh...? but then how you will travel, with your broom ?" Hermione asked, Rose told her how insane Orion's broom was, it was totally possible to travel back on it just like how he used to come here on the broom.

"I was about to do something like that but not any more," Orion said as he pointed upwards.

Hermione looked and saw A red bird approaching them fast.

As Hermione, she was pretty much knew everything needed to know about a Phoenix.

"You know you sometimes show off too much, I am jealous," Hermione huffs.

"You won't be if I ever told you how I met RED," Orion replied remembering that night when he lost RED, his dog. And that bloody vampire.

"Anyways, bye," Orion said smugly and raised his hands up and just at that time, red came forth and Fire surged around Orion. Started to engulf in entirely. And the next second he was gone.

"Huff... he acts like he fought some kind of demon or something," Hermione just huffed in annoyance but then remembering how Orion fought that Troll, there was a slight blush.

----

Unlike how others might have thought, Orion didn't come directly back to his room in Leaky Cauldron. No, he found himself in the middle of a jungle. Almost a death jungle with the most horror-like vibes.

"This ain't it, we need to work on your teleportation my friend," Orion looked around and then said in a deadpan voice.

Good thing others don't know that he arrived at the wrong destination after that cool exit.

"Gawk," Red chirped with annoyance.

"Yeah yeah, you are better than before so yes. You did good," Orion threw a sweet candy at his friend and started to walk. More like sprinting. And why not when you have the endurance and speed of a Unicorn?

He knew the general direction where he wanted to go at least. Under just 13 minutes of sprinting, he soon arrived where he wanted to.

[So this is the place, which took you so long to find] Merlin asked.

"Yup, I would have long come here if only I knew where it is," Orion said after looking at a dilapidated hut.

"This is where Dumbledore found the Gaunt Ring. Finding this place was tough as hell. But finally, I am here." Orion said as he moved closer.

[This place rig of black magic,] Merlin said as his face distorted.

"I know, I better absorb any magic which might activate any form of the curse upon entering," Orion said before even moving any closer to the hut, he bent down and put his hands on the ground, starting to absorb all the magic around.

[You should be grateful that even after absorbing black magic, your technique converts it to raw magical energy and it doesn't affect you] 

"Yeah yeah, I am eternally grateful and all that shit, now let me concentrate,"

It took him 15 minutes to digest all that magic, but he has to say that that hit the spot. Now he can finally move on.

Moving closer to the small door which was barely holding on he raised his hand up.

"I always wanted to do this after playing Witcher 3," Orion smiled as a powerful Force shock released from his hand and broke down the door in front of him.

"Ah, I miss gaming. I couldn't even complete the game back then," Orion complained.
