Chapter 151: Chapter 148
Due to extremely skillful apparition in a moving body, skill has leveled up!
Silent Apparition Lv-5 (24%)
Destination, Determination and Deliberation. Apparition is a magical method of transportation and is basically the magical action of travelling by having the user focus on a desired location in their mind. It is by far the fastest way to get to one's desired destination, but is tricky to pull off correctly and disastrous if botched up.

Turned out the Laws of Inertia did indeed apply to apparition. How lucky for him.
He quickly took stock of the entire situation. The girl and the boy, both of whom he recognized as third years from his own house, were laughing loudly. There must have been some silencing charms on the door, he thought.
Looking up, he saw that the first year girl, Luna, was hanging upside down from the ceiling with painful looking boils on her face. Tears fell from her eyes.
A fire was burning under the hanging girl, which Harry realized was a burning copy of the Quibbler.
'Fire. That's a good start,' he thought as he squashed down the spike of rage. He quickly and carefully squeezed his way across to the opposite side of the compartment.
"I do wonder which house she'll go to Marcus," Marietta Edgecombe said with a malicious smile, looking up at her spellwork. The Quibbler and the Lovegoods had always been something of a joke at the Ministry where her Mum worked, and finally, she could put a face to the name. She hadn't come into the compartment to have fun, but the Lovegood girl sure was a little pest.
"Definitely not Ravenclaw. Maybe they'll make another house called Loonyshire and sort her into that." her friend Marcus Belby said before they both burst into laughter.
But then she caught sight of something, and that laughter slowly faded away.
The burning Quibbler that was lying on the floor a second ago was slowly rising into the air in front of both of their eyes,
"Aguamenti!" she heard Marcus cast, and with a spurt of water, the flame was extinguished.
But it remained extinguished only for a second, before it lit back up, this time almost as big as her fist, and then with a whoosh, split into two separate burning fireballs. She pointed her own wand at it, and incanted, "Aqua Eructo!" which let out a powerful jet stream of water from her wand, that she used to put out those fireballs, which seemed to be burning off of nothing.
And again, the fireballs reappeared, even bigger this time, before they split into four fireballs, and floated in the air. And as this was happening, the Lovegood girl, who she'd stuck to the ceiling with a sticking charm, somehow unstuck herself, and floated back onto the ground and onto her feet, before somehow, miraculously, all her boils disappeared.
'That's impossible! Only a mediwitch can make those boils disappear! And even a mediwitch can't do it that fast!' Marietta thought, as that tiny monster of panic in her chest started growing
The girl touched a hand to her face in awe, looking a bit thrown off for a second before her dreamy look reappeared. "You really shouldn't have pissed off an Umdingering Toadinger. They don't much like bullies and really like fire."
The four fireballs split into eight and started revolving around the Lovegood girl in a circle, while the pair of third years both watched warily. They'd never heard of anything called a Umdingering Toadinger. But the evidence right in front of their eyes was pretty convincing.
"I'd really say that you should apologize. They're sensitive creatures you know. You agree with me don't you Mr. Umdingering Toadinger?" Lovegood said, speaking out loud to the entire compartment.
And to the intense shock of the two third years, three of the fireballs shot up into the air above Lovegood's head and formed three easily distinguishable fiery letters.
YES
She felt a chill travel down her spine, as she turned to Marcus, who looked like he'd just shit his pants.
"I-I'm sorry Mr. T-Toadinger," she stuttered out.
Marcus joined her in apologizing to whatever this was, "W-we didn't m-mean to off-offend you or anything."
Another fireball flew up into the air to join the other three as they remolded themselves into a different set of letters.
TO HER
"You want us t-to apologize to her?" she asked. The fireballs flew back down to revolve around Lovegood again, before they flared brilliantly, which Marietta promptly decided to take as a yes.
"We're sorry Lovegood," she quickly said, not wanting to anger whatever weird creature was doing this, before she elbowed Marcus hard.
"Ow! Yeah-We're sorry Lovegood" Marcus added, rubbing the spot where she'd hit him.
"It's alright. Just don't do it again. Those boils weren't very nice were they?" the girl said conversationally.
This time, all the fireballs rose up into the air and clearly formed the words.
NOW SCRAM
They didn't need to read that twice.
They turned around, she cast the long counterspell to the locking charm she'd put on the door, all the while looking back to see if the fire demon was coming for them, slammed open the sliding door, and ran out.
Right into a Gryffindor Prefect.

Harry waved that away and watched from the compartment as Percy gave the two Ravenclaws the dressing down of their life, dismissing their claims of some fire monster thing as accidental magic on Luna's behalf and threatening them with taking this to Professor Flitwick.
Since his attention was focused on looking outside the compartment to see what punishment the two bullies were getting, he almost jumped a mile when a hand touched his head and started scratching his head through the cloak.
"You have very silky skin Mr. Toadinger. I like it," the dreamy blonde girl said, feeling what Harry could only imagine was the texture of the cloak.
Not only had the girl found him while he was invisible, she was literally scratching his head like he was a puppy who had just done a good thing.
Harry's left eye started twitching.
