Chapter 37: Chapter 36
(A.N.: Alrighty, I'm back again after a 'short' break. )
(There's a summary in next chapter since if even I forgot what happened upto now, then most of you must have also forgot many details ^^ )

MC's POV:
The troll, as it turns out, didn't encounter any student this time. I was totally expecting it to off one or two students this time, that's why I made sure that all of my friends were in the great Hall. A troll hunting trip was due in case anyone of them had been out of the great Hall that night. After all, if they died, that would have been on my head since I already knew about the troll. Anyway I am really glad that none of the cliches happened and I didn't awaken the protagonist's fate( A fate when MC always has forced encounters with trouble and fights out of it by almost always risking his life and beaten half to death.).
Anyway, the bet! *sigh*.
Since the matter got buried, I had to bring other proof of it's existence. But Dora was like, 'Huh? Dude, I'm a lawyer's daughter.' So it all came down to null n void.
But.....
I'm telling you.....

Two days after the troll incident:
I was chilling in the library with some of my fellow schoolmates. But there weren't only first year Ravens in the flock, but 2nd and third years as well. Yeah, I have decided to show off upto third year courses' knowledge. This much isn't too much and it's enough to be hailed as a genius. I have explaination for my knowledge of course (long live the dead grandma!). Anyways, there are many Hufflepuffs and Griffindors here as well, including Hannah, Susan, Harry, Neville and Hermione.
This unofficial study group is one of the things I didn't plan for. It just somehow... happened. In the beginning, I usually used to come here alone to study, since the library here is actually really impressive. Potter library can't measure up to this in size and diversity of topics. When I first entered here, I had the same feeling as I had when I entered the potter library. And that was- Can I actually read all of this? I mean I haven't really finished the potter library. Yes, I have read the titles of every book, but it takes time and patience to read, absorb and practice everything.
Anyway so, when I frequented the Hogwarts library, my friends started accompanying me. So I helped them as well. And after I started helping second years with their studies, it became a kind of gathering spot for many students(nerds) . We all help each other. It's not the only study group here, but it has the most variety.
We usually gather in a particular obscure corner of the library and talking in only low voices in order to not get thrown out by Madam Pince. Seriously, that woman didn't even get much screen time in the movies and let alone any dialogues. But here, that mob woman can make any student's life miserable just by banning them for a week. (except for me, of course)
So, today, I was reading this particularly interesting book titled - 'Obscure Applications of Some Prominent Charms and Hexes'.
"Hey Chris, isn't that 'Obscure Applications of Some Prominent Charms and Hexes'? Why are you reading that book? There's already a warning on it that most of the stuff in the thing is Hippogriffshit." Said Jacob Huges while snorting. This guy is a third year Ravenclaw. I'll recall more details about him if he ever updates his status from mob to side-charactor.
Marcus Belby, who was sitting beside Jacob also smile while shaking his head. He put on a fake nostalgic expression, "Leave him be Jacob, we've all been through that time, when we were young and wanted to do things with magic that only those wizards in children stories can do."
Some other students also chuckled at that.
I smirked. These fools. This book is actually one the most useful ones I've found here upto now. I admit the author has written the uses of different spells in a seemingly random order, like in one paragraph, he's talking about the different applications of the summoning and banishing charm and the next second, he's telling you that, if focus and lower your magic power and exercise control, you can flip the pages of your book with a know-back jinx.
But, it doesn't end here. He's written shit that can't be possible by the theory or theoretically possible but can't be done practically. Like, check this out, the guy has written in one of the side columns labelled as Dangerous: "I have, with the help of a volunteer tried to cast both the shrinking and engorgement charm at the same time at different power levels. The result was either no change or, object changes size according to the difference in magic power applied while casting these opposite charms. But, I believe that, if we apply the same amount of magic power, and the amount of power is large enough, the results can be highly explosive."
Yeah, if this idiotic genius had somehow amassed enough amount of magic power, he could have cause the nuclear explosion in 19th century. Much before the muggles.
It's not just that. He's written many of his imaginations, like if we could somehow produce a continuous banishing stream, we could we fly without a broomstick. This thing is impossible to be done wizards since the difference between the continuous banishing that the author mentioned and the real banishing charm is like comparing a laser and a gun. But--
'I wonder if I can do it....' I thought. In fact, I can do many things that the ordinary wizards can't do. The theories in this book, which the wizards consider their own version of Chunnibyou, can actually be very useful to me.
So, seeing the oblivious people around me having fun, I just smiled along with them. I am not so childish that I'll go out of my way just to prove them wrong. Besides, if they think this book is actually useful, then I won't be able to just keep reading in peace right now.
But the peace was suddenly disrupted by two trouble makers.
"Ahaa! I finally found him!"
"No, we finally found him."
"Our secrect weapon,"
"The Trump card,"
"Our youngest seeker!"
Before they could go on, they had to dodge two stinging Hexes' that Madam Pince had shot at their butts. Seriously, this woman is not be messed with. She can even go so far as outright hexing the students. It seems the rules can be bended a little sometimes. But I understand. She can't really shout at them in library and he doesn't want to come all the way here to deal with these two. She has long found out that they're not worth it.
Anyway, for information's sake, these two are Fred and George and they must have come here to pick Harry for their Quidditch practice. Their first match would be next month.
"Get those out of here, Harry." I said while sighing.
Harry was currently in even more hurry to vanish from here lest the Twins get him a detention of book re-organizing from madam Pince.
