I decided not to lay so low I think I can handle some spice in life. I do have backup plans in case some went wrong. In fact, I have so many aces in my hand it can even beat a royal flush card.
Going to the great hall a loud cheer came from many people. Every student except Slytherins yelled and clap giving me one hell of applause. I became a legend.
'The boy who scored' that was the title I was given. What the fuck! I mean I even felt like the MVP player finals on a game. I like it. Unlike those boring days.
Thinking about it, I can enjoy this life without laying low. At that moment I have decided that unless someone tries to stop me or wants to be my enemy I will not care about them but if they do try something fishy to me... Well, I will let all hell loose upon them even if it is Dumbledore.
"Hey, hey, hey nothing much to see here. Break it up break it up. I'm just a normal boy...
Who scored!"
"Whoa!.... Yeah!....." another eruption of shout came with applause.
Now how did I do it? By not laying low mother fucker! Hahaha, joke aside. I just manipulated the dark mark on Snape's left arm.
The dark mark came from my family originally and was used by Voldemort After discovering it in his Marvolo family documents, that was passed down from generation to generation but gradually forgotten overtime.
The original purpose of the dark mark is to make an SOS signal to a fellow dark mark user, but there is hierarchy in the mark. Unknown to Voldemort, the dark mark has a feature that will make the owner to submit to the Ophias family 'chosen one', and luckily that's me.
While Snape was asking his famous question, I let out my Ophias aura. That triggered the dark mark on Snape's arm and give the feeling to submit. I maintained it and Snape unknowingly lower his defense, up until he gave me the points and I canceled it immediately.
The perfect thing was my Ophias aura can not be felt by others without the Lilith bloodline. What a convenience for me.
Walking towards the Ravenclaw table, many people tap me on my head and shoulder. I swear one guy even try to hug me. Fuck! What was that about? It slipped my mind, the possibilities of being gay or lesbian in this school.
Brrrrrr that gave me chills. The movie, nor the book did not mention this shit. The look on that guy's eyes, shit, it gives me the creeps. He's from the Gryffindor. Better to keep my distance from that one.
I sat on the Ravenclaw table in front of the trio. Their smiles are very wide.
"nice job Ophias," said Marietta smugly
"Great job Meshac," Chi said while still clapping her hands. Look like she is more excited than me.
"wow, Meshac I did not think you really have the balls doing that on Snape. I'm not worthy." Laura said while acting like she is bowing to a God over and over.
Shaun sat beside me and tried to touch my hand. I slapped it immediately. The feeling was still there from that gay Gryffindor.
"I just want to steal some of that greatness," said Shaun
"Don't do that or I will use force. I will hurt you deeply. Get your hands off me!"
And so hours go on like that many Ravenclaws did pester me till I got back to my room. I decided to rest in the manor so I called Gazlowe to apparatus me.
Roaming around with Brick, updating me on everything that had happened in the manor. Spike, the Cerberus, don't chase Centaur anymore and they teach him to hunt arachnids, which are plentiful in the dark forest. Mattinea made friends with the lake residents even communicated with the Kraken that lives there. Azuna trained the house elves in knife fighting and they are doing pretty good.
I do plan on visiting the Hufflepuff's room but I will save it when Dumbledore is away, so I need a new scene so that he can busy himself. I think a commotion in the ministry would not be enough. I must do more something that will shock the entire British wizarding world.
And I do have the perfect scandal in mind.
After roaming around for a few hours. I went back to have dinner in Hogwarts. Going to the main hall I notice that the twins are at the entrance, maybe waiting for me. And I am right.
"hello Meshac, we have decided to sign up for your company."
"so do we have to sign an agreement of some sort?"
"do we have other juicy benefits?"
"When can we start?"
The twins bombarded me with questions asking alternately. "I will send you two the details later but for now just do more experiments. And do make a list of the items you want to have for your projects, I will provide it as fast as I can."
"I like this guy."
"you like this guy? I love this guy." they started again with the alternating talks.
"well let us shake on this deal for the moment." said the two simultaneously, reaching one arm each to handshake me, one on the left and the other on the right.
I shook them both.
Entering the hall not much commotion was made because Snape is in front. I do feel he is looking at me without blinking So I just walk straight to the Ravenclaw's table in my usual spot.
"Where have you been this whole afternoon. We were waiting for you in the common room and go here altogether," said Laura
"I think that Professor Snape is not so happy in what he has done previously. There are whispers that he is starting to be soft," whispered Marietta.
"How does it feel to be the famous 'boy who scored' ask Cho gleefully.
"I was roaming around just exploring here and there. do enjoy the fame but not that much. It is bothersome somewhat."
"So what are you three planning to do tonight?"
"Nothing much," said Marietta.
"We do plan to have a talk with other seniors for advice in some things about the unwritten rules here inside the school," said Laura
"Tsk, I thought you are free I would like to try my trial card game with you three guess I'll ask some of the boys," I said as I look around to find Shaun and the other first years.
"We would like to try that." Cho interrupted my search. The two beside her looked at her with some kind of look. Then she looks down and tucks in her shoulder making a shy posture.
"Great see you later."
After our dinner, we all went back to the tower and went to the common room I choose a spot where there is a table and has four chairs then I set up the cards, which I pulled out my coat but in reality, I summon from my mini world.
The first edition deck I made during my free time in rough cards form numbered to a thousand, well the kind of cards numbered to 500 but a made a duplicated on each card.
As the girls sit down, I explained the kind and the purpose of the cards. The charm cards than can be activated only in your turn, the jinx card can be activated anytime as long as the requirements are met, the dueling cards which will partake in the main battle.
"See this card it is a monster card the x on the top right corner indicates the level of the creature. The attack power and the defense value are written down after the short description in the bottom half. As of now, there are only drawings but later I will change that this is just a test run." I explained.
I then lay down about ten kinds of dueling cards. I pointed at the first card.
"See this card this is a sample of low-level cards. This one, the mountain troll, which has two x levels means it is weak but the strategy will make it useful. Now the level change with every character. You can summon up to a level four dueling cards without a sacrifice. Level five and six need one card to be a sacrifice to summon a stronger dueling card. Like this level five forest treant, it has 1300 at but his defense is 2800 and that is what you need so if you ever summoned it must be in the defense position to make full use of its powers. Level seven and eight needs two sacrifices." the three look at the cards with interest while I was explaining.
"Now I have two identical decks, who wants to play between the three of you?" Chi and Laura excitedly raise their hands.
"Ok sit opposite of each other first. Yes just like that. Grab one deck and shuffle it. Good, now play rock, paper, scissors to know who goes first."
Cho won with a rock against Laura's scissors.
"Okay draw six cards the both of you."
As they start the card game our spot was being crowded with students of all years who is interested in what we are doing.
I think this card dueling game will be an instant box office hit.
For those of you who doesn't know yu go oh or magic the gathering don't bother read the next chapter it will be boring to you guys.
