Chapter 14: First Day

But he first had to complete his daily training. He picked up a training suit with a cooling enchantment and made his way to the black lake. When he walked out of the common room there were only one girl reading a book on the couch. She eyed him curiously because of his attire. Normaly everyone would wear school robes during the whole day. He didn't mind her and just walked out of the common room. He quickly made his way down to the black lake. The black surface of the water seemed to absorb all the sunlight that shined on it. He ran one lap around the lake. When he was done he walked up to the castle. He then toured the 8th floor of the castle trying to find a particular portrait. It was harder than you would imagine, the whole wall on the corridor was plastered with hundreds of portraits and paintings. But after a while he still managed to find it. He walked back and forth in front of the painting while imagining a room where he can exercise and prepare his ritual. The room was plain but big and to his suprise magically isolated from Hogwarts. That meant, that even Dumbledore wouldn't find out what he did in here as long as he doesn't enter himself. In the room there was a big free field, where he could draw his ritual circle. There were also suprisingly a few books on ritual magic in a bookshelf on the side. There was a small table with basic ritual ingridients such as chalk. On the other side where a few training puppets with wands in their hands. He started again with basic exercises, such as situps and pushups. When he was done he took out the wand of his mother. After all his wand still had a trace and he didn't want the ministry to know, that there was an 11-year old in Hogwarts who performed the most terrifying dark magic. Because of his black magic talent the uncontrollabe fiendfyre curse was as tame as a candlelight. Under the influence of his miasma energy the cursed fire turned into a dark lilac colour wich is almost black. He also practiced useful spells like the forgetting charm Lockhard is so fond of or other spells like the cutting charm, an ancient poisoning spell, the exploding charm and the most brutal transmogrification curse. This was basically the combination of the killing and torturing curse combined and granted the victkm a very painful death. Still to his regret, he still doesn't know the three unforgivables as they were invented after he was frozen in ice. He really wondered where he would get that knowlege as even in knockturn alley they wouldn't sell it. He contemplated if he should just ask Quirellmort but the chances of getting killed during the process were far greater. He would learn them in his fourth year the latest, when the false mad-eyed moody would demonstrate all three curses in front of the whole class. With his terrifying talent, that was more than enough.
