An Elementalist At Hogwarts

Chapter 5 - Magic's consequences

At the same moment in another wing of the manor with the Arkhas couple.

Suddently an alarm ringed near the couple.

"The wards of the practice room have been activated!" shouted Marcus.

"Who could possibly mades activate the wards?" answered Elena.

"Someone who are not aware of the wards in the room and have made offensive magic in, only if the enchantment on the walls are touched made the wards activate, so it only leaves Alexandre and Aurore..."

"Let's rush towards the room."

And then the worried couple rushed towards the practice room, they can't apparate since wards against apparition are placed in the manor so they can only run like non-magical people.

After a few instants they finally reached the room and rushed in, they immediatly saw their son lying on the ground probably unconscious, while Elena immediatly rushed towards her beloved little son, Marcus observed the room and noticed the percied dummy and the almost broken defence enchantment on the wall, 'The magic used should be quite strong to pierce the dummy like it was paper made and almost broke the enchantment, even if the enchantment is not that strong, maybe even weak, it still a remarkable achievement for a kid, so for a three years old one it's quite monstruous' Marcus couldn't help to think with a proud smile on his visage but then anger darkened his handsome visage features when he thought of the consequences who could happen when a magic is made who is greater than the user's capability and a cold sweet ran on his back and then he rushed towards his son with his wife.

"How is he?" asked anxiously Marcus at his wife who was already casting diagnostic spell on Alexandre.

"He is fine, just unconscious from magic depletion" said Elena, relieved, but Marcus noticed the anger in her voice, then Marcus released a breath he was not conscious to hold.

"Thanks God, it could have been far worse, look" said Marcus while showing the dummy and the almost broken defence enchantment on the wall.

Elena didn't noticed at first since she tunneled vision on her son but when her husband said this, she finally examided her surrounding and saw the damages caused by her son's magic and fear with tears appeared in her eyes and a few realisations appeared to her, first it's not a magical accident since it happened in this room while his spell was aiming at a dummy. Second, the magic used was very strong for a kid and should be impossible for a three years old one, even a Hogwarts first year probably can't make the same amount of damages with a single spell. Third and the most important, her son almost killed himself to cast such a powerful spell at this age. She looked at her husband and they nodded at each other, then she gently took Alexandre in her arms and exited the practice room with her husband and made their way towards Alexandre's bedroom in a tensed silence.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I finally regained consciousness I noticed that I was in my bedroom. My parents probably found me and took me here, seeing me unconscious probably scarred them I thought while laughing a little again proud of my success at my attempt at magic a little earlier.

But now I think back, it was stupid to attempt magic at three years old, I mean, a three years old kid isn't normally able to consiously cast spell on dummies in a practice room. The most stupid was that I overestimated myself and pushed me too far with the kido spell, I should have just stopped after my success at creating a flame in my palm, but no, I was too euphoric and didn't thought that my magic reserves as a three years old kid are very limited, well I didn't think that one of the weakest hado spell would completely syphon my magic but then again I'm way too young to normally cast spells, yes, it was stupid as hell, I tend to forget with my precedent life that my body is just a kid now.

At this moment the door of my berdoom was opened and both of my parents and my uncle Jonathan came in with anger on their visage.

Mother came to me and at my utmost shock slapped me, in both of my lifes never one of my parents physically punished me, so it's in shock and incomprehension that I stand here sitting in my bed.

"What were you thinking at casting magic without supervision and proper knowledge in magic arts?!!!" shouted mom with fury, I never saw mom angry before, before i can even answer to her she continued:

"You almost killed yourself while doing magic by far too advanced for you!!"

"It couldn't be that dangerous right?" I asked weakly.

"Of course it was very dangerous, you fainted because your magic reserves were totally syphoned, if you cast magic with a strong enough will, even if your magic reserves are insufficient it's your vital energy who took the relay to fuel your spell, and at the sight of the damages you caused, we are lucky that your magical reserves are tremendously big for your age, otherwise..." shouted mom with tears, almost broken at the idea to lost me forever. The sight of my stong, proud and beautiful mother in tears and so weak caused my heart to ache and built guilt in me to make her suffer, so it's in tear with a weak and shaky voice that I hugged her and said:

"S-S-Sorry....I-I didn't k-know..."

"Yes you didn't know, and that's why magic shouldn't be used without proper knowledge and supervision, so I want you to promise me to never attempt magic again before we teach you correctly." said father with a very serious tone while looking at me intensly.

"I promise!"

"Good, now your punishment."

Even uncle Jonathan who is always happy and easy going is now serious and angry but it's the next thing in his expression who made me feel very bad, deception.

After they scolded me for a long moment, they finally left my bedroom.

It was a close call, a very close call, way too close for my liking, and once again I realize that this world is way more complicated than the one portrayed in the books and the movies and I must take this very seriously, I have abilities who give me the potential to be op but wizards like Dumbledore and Voldemort are probably way more powerful than I previously thought, after all we never really saw Dumbledore fight at his maximum, even in the magic ministry in the fifth book since Harry was here probably made Dumbledore restrain a lot of his strength. And Voldemort was probably nerfed in his fight against Harry since there is no way in hell that a average Hogwarts seventh year could possibly stand against one of the most powerful wizard to have stepped on this world.
