Chapter 122: no idea
Chapter 122 - no idea
Everyone was celebrating as they lifted Harry and tossed him into the air, while the girls surrounded Wanda and congratulated her. Some students from other houses, like Luna, Loki, Tony, Daphne, and Artoria, joined the congratulatory party.
"Excellent, Harry!" "We thought you'd hurt a leg..." "...or an arm..." "...but would you die? Never!" "Never!" said the twins as they lifted Harry, while the others talked among themselves and took turns as usual.
"Hey, I got mine in less time and with more points than him! You have to congratulate me!" said Wanda, pretending to be annoyed.
"Obviously, Wanda doesn't count," everyone replied, smiling. "If it's too easy, it loses its charm."
"Why don't you both open them at the same time? Let's compare," said Stephen with a somewhat intrigued smile, putting earplugs in without anyone noticing.
"Come on, open them," everyone said excitedly.
Then, Harry and Wanda opened both eggs at the same time, and loud destructive noises came out, amplified by being two, causing several crystals to explode. Meanwhile, all the students tried to cover their ears in agony.
Stephen, however, remained calm with a mocking smile.
They quickly closed the noisy eggs, making everyone stare, surprised and terrified.
"What the hell was that?!" Ron exclaimed while touching his ears.
Wanda, on the other hand, was staring at the egg in her hands. Meanwhile, Stephen, seeing her, quickly put the earplugs back in. Then, before anyone could stop her, Wanda opened the egg again.
"Turn it off!" "Aaaah!"
Quickly, everything turned into chaos again. Wanda closed it while looking at everyone with an evil smile.
"I know what it is... it's an anti-human weapon," she said, acting proudly, to which Daphne sighed and took the egg from her hands in case she was planning to open it again.
"Obviously not. Idiot," said Stephen, annoyed. "Although, it might be useful to create something," Tony said, thinking.
That scene didn't affect the party they had organized, as they smuggled in snacks and drinks to have fun until late. When they finally got tired, everyone returned to their rooms to sleep.
The next day...
"Hey, Stephen, look what I have," said Wanda as she ran toward Stephen with a small dragon in her hand.
This was the one they used to draw lots for which dragon each competitor would face. It was simply an enchanted object with transmutation magic.
"Out of the whole test, you're happy you only won the object they used to draw which dragon you'd fight to the death with?" Stephen said, looking at her strangely.
"Well, it was a pretty easy test, and I'm not good with transmutation magic. Although I can alter reality," Wanda said, still happy with her little dragon.
"As long as you're happy," Stephen said calmly as they walked to the dining hall together.
Along the way, everyone greeted Wanda cheerfully, who was now even more popular.
"Are you jealous, little brother? I'm cooler than you," Wanda said, teasing Stephen.
"You're talking to the one who was an international dueling champion so many times they wouldn't let me compete. Though I used a different name," Stephen said, ignoring his sister's teasing.
"That doesn't help," Wanda said, speeding up to enter the dining hall.
When Stephen arrived, he realized that Harry had also become more popular, as now there were people surrounding him or greeting him while he tried to eat peacefully.
Though it seemed like Harry was more distracted looking at an Asian girl not too far away.
Stephen even saw when Harry tried to smile at her while drinking juice, but ended up spilling it all over the floor.
Sigh. Stephen quickly approached. "I think it's going to be hard to win over a girl like that," he said, handing Harry a handkerchief to clean his face.
"Well, I don't think you, sir, are the best one to say that," said Fleur, appearing behind Stephen, as she was also a witness to what happened.
"Hey, I may have taken longer, but now I have the most beautiful girl, right?" Stephen said, smiling at Fleur.
"Unfortunately, you don't have me, I have you," Fleur said as she sat down, leaving a space for Stephen to sit next to her.
Meanwhile, Hermione, who was sitting in front of them, suddenly threw her diary onto the table, catching everyone's attention. Wanda, who was sitting next to her, flirting with Daphne, looked interested in her direction.
"I can't believe she wrote this!" Hermione said, pointing at the diary in front of her and beginning to read aloud. "Miss Granger, an ambitious girl, seems to have a certain fondness for famous wizards. Her latest prey, according to our sources, is none other than the Bulgarian hunk, Viktor Krum. It is still unknown how Potter Flamel has taken this romantic disappointment."
"Aww, poor Harry," Wanda said, looking at Harry with sympathy. "Do you want your sister to teach you how to win over girls?" she asked quickly.
"So, you must be a professional, right?" Daphne said vanity in her voice while staring at Wanda.
"Obviously, I won over the most beautiful girl in Hogwarts. I must be a professional," Wanda said, gracefully dodging the bullet.
"You two are so alike," Fleur said, smiling as she looked at Stephen and Wanda.
Meanwhile, Harry, hearing what Wanda said, quickly responded.
"No... thanks," although he hesitated for a few seconds.
"Harry, you've got it! Why didn't you tell me you were so popular? As your brother, I'm proud of you," Tony said as he approached to tease Harry. "It reminds me of my youth," ignoring that he was now a child.
"Having money makes anyone popular," Loki said maliciously.
"And where is your popularity? As a prince, you should've had a silver spoon, right?" Tony said sarcastically.
"Hmp, the gods are different," Loki said quickly, as he began to argue with Tony. Fortunately, Stephen had acted fast and silenced them from the beginning so that only they could hear, as he didn't want to listen to their fights.
"Sir, you've received a package," said a first-year student, bringing a large box for Ron. After handing him the package, the student stood there, staring at Harry with a smile, causing everyone to fall into an uncomfortable silence.
"Now, not even Nagel... later," Ron quickly said, shooing the boy away in embarrassment.
Everyone looked at Ron for answers.
"I told him I'd get him an autograph from Harry," Ron said as he started to unwrap his package. "Oh, it looks like it's from mom," he said as he placed it on the table and pulled out an old-fashioned dress with ruffles, quite hideous.
"...she sent me a dress," he said, while everyone struggled to hold back their laughter.
"It matches your eyes!" Harry said mockingly. "Looks like you missed this," he said, pulling out some sort of retractable chest plate and showing it in front of him.
Ron quickly turned to Ginny, who wasn't too far away, sitting next to Luna, and said, "Ginny, this must be yours."
"Of course not! That's hideous," Ginny quickly responded, while the others couldn't hold back any longer and started laughing.
"What are you all laughing at?" Ron said, annoyed.
"It's not for Ginny, it's for you," Hermione said, while everyone at the Gryffindor table continued to laugh. "It's a formal gown."
"Is this a joke? And what do I want with it?" Ron quickly replied.
"Did you forget, little red number 6? We're having a ball," Wanda said, looking at Ron as if he were an idiot.
"Well, it seems that if anyone doesn't get a date, they can ask Ron to be the woman," Stephen said, watching the dress, which looked like something from a distant aunt.
"Ha-ha-ha!" Everyone began mocking Ron's dress. Annoyed, he stuffed it back into the package and continued eating while grumbling.
"Speaking of that, beautiful lady, would you like to be my dance partner?" Stephen said, looking at Fleur with a smile.
"Of course," Fleur said with a cheerful smile.
"Daphne, you'll be my partner, right?" Wanda quickly said after hearing Stephen and Fleur's conversation.
"Obviously. I have to keep a close eye on you," Daphne said with a smile.
"You should all find a partner, or you'll end up going together," Wanda said, looking at Ron and Harry mischievously.
"A ball sounds interesting," Tony quickly said.
"First-years can't go," Stephen said, looking at Tony and Loki with mockery.
"Dear brother, according to Hogwarts' rules, if they don't catch you, there's no punishment," Tony said quickly as he arrogantly left the dining hall.
Meanwhile, Loki was deep in thought as he made his way to his table in Slytherin.
What do you think?
