Unexpected inconvenience

I sat down on the side of my bed and reflected over the year. It had been a great time. I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. Classes did get a bit monotonous by the second half of the year but there wasn't much I could do about that. The curse of having a perfect memory.

I would be moving the training to the ROR next year since there would be a need for targets and other things which the ROR could provide. I will have to show Hermione how to access it. I soon thought about the family vault. The pendragon vault is supposedly guarded by a Hungarian horntail. It was meant to be an iron belly but why have that thing when you can have one that's better.

I wondered what could be in there.

[Nothing, it's been emptied over the centuries. Your family at one point was able to effectively hide in the wizarding community but that didn't last long before raids were conducted on their property. Since then, they have gone back into hiding taking all the money with them and have been living off of it ever since. There is, however, some special things that have not been taken that are going to be important.]

Hearing his words, I was a little disappointed to be honest. But he did say that there was something in there. 'What is it? what's in there that's so important?' I asked sceptically. If it was left behind it can't be so important.

[A ring] he said simply.

'A ring? What use will that have?'

[it's not a normal ring you idiot. It has power inside of it. a very special power that can only be ignited a couple of times before it breaks. This will be the last use, but it will hold incredible value. It will allow us to talk to someone very important,] he said vaguely. I had learned not to bother asking for more since I wouldn't get anything.

'Ok, so I assume we will need to visit the vault, right?'

[Wrong again, a key is needed. Being a dragon wielder only gives you the qualification to access the vault. A key is still needed.] he spoke.

'Where is this key then?' I asked in annoyance. All these issues just to get into a bloody vault.

[It's not in Europe. It's in America. Hidden inside a chamber deep within the American school of witchcraft and wizardry, Ilvermorny.] He said helplessly. I grimaced at his words.

'Why the hell is it all the way over there!' I yelled. Such an inconvenience. And it wasn't a small one like the others. It was a massive one. It was pretty much another philosopher's stone. For God's sake, whoever put it there is a dickhead.

[It has been around… a century or so I'd say. When I was sealed inside of your great grandfather, he put the key there for safekeeping back when he was close friends with the headmaster there. Sadly, we can't just ask for it since it was a secret to begin with. So, we will have to enrol into Ilvermorny and take the key before the New Year at the latest. The good thing is that America follows the same school system that Hogwarts does so we have about 3 months' worth of time to get the key starting from September. As for why three months, it's so that we have enough time to face Voldemort at our own pace upon return. Otherwise, we will be pressured and hurried. And that may lead to mistakes.] he concluded.

I sighed at my fate. It seems that after Hawaii I will be staying in America instead of returning. Damn and now, I became the Professor Quirrell of the story. Dammit! I just hope there isn't some trio over there who want to play detective and mess with my plans. Otherwise, I'll bury them where they stand. Tch, pesky kids, I'm not even there yet and I can already feel a headache coming on. Maybe I'm jinxing myself by saying that though, or maybe I'm jinxing myself by thinking that I'm jinxing myself…'

[CUT IT OUT! You're such a crybaby, man up you coward and get it done. We need to talk to this person,] he reprimanded.

'Fine-fine, whatever, this is such a drag though,' I groaned. This really did annoy me. There was more work to do now. I thought that I would have it easy next year. Just sit back, watch some people turn to stone and reap the benefits when the time was ripe. But now I was pushed for time. Things could go wrong if I delayed. The wrong people could be petrified or killed if I wasn't careful and slacked off.

"Tch-tch-tch, some much to do, so little time. And I even have that trial bullshit you're having me do," I complained endlessly.

[ I wish it was more severe, maybe then it would shut you up,] he hissed. We continued to argue for a while before getting tired of it. I got changed into literally the only clothes that even fit me. Barely at that. I really had grown too much. I saw Hermione sitting on the couch with her eyes closed. She was wearing a yellow oversized jumper, blue jeans and white sneakers. I sat down on the couch next to her and talk before heading to the kitchen.

We were planning to head to the lake for a break. Enjoy the sunlight and the view for the first time. I really didn't realise what I had missed. I was so busy doing my exercises, studying and working on this year's plan that I never took the time to enjoy the scenery. We talked about this on the couch and Hermione concluded the same thing and we therefore decided on this idea.

An: Surprise! Ilvernmorny wizarding school. hope you're as excited as I am. I haven't read many if any fanfics that delve into the American school or society. so I decided to jump off the deep end. Lots of things will be going on in America so stay tuned and find out more. happy reading :)
