Chapter 99 - Dealing with Quirrelmort (1/2)

Harry was on the brink of magical exhaustion.

And this was not normal because he had 3-4 times magical power than his peers.

But permanent transfigurations were always a magically exhausting.

And permanently transfiguring a piece of Basilisk hide into a piece of cloth was probably one of the most magically exhausting transfiguration he had ever performed.

Even transfiguring all the Oxygen near in Hagrid's hut into Carbon Dioxide had not been as exhausting as this.

And the worse part was that after fully exhausting his magic, he was only able to transfigure a small piece of the Basilisk hide that was not even the size of a small handkerchief.

Yes, creating a robe from magically transfigured Basilisk hide was going to be a very exhausting task.

But then again, he had known that from the start.

After all, there are only a few magical races in the whole world whose skin is more magically resistant than a Basilisk.

But magical resistance didn't meant that it could totally negate the effect of magic.

Which was why he was able to transfigure that small piece of basilisk hide after exhausting all his magic.

And then he would have to carve numerous runes on it with Unicorn blood and that task itself would take a lot of time because Unicorn Blood is very magically potent and even the smallest mistake could blow his whole lab into smithereens.

He was already feeling tired knowing the huge task ahead of him but it had to be done.

Such a pity that he could not delegate this task to someone else.

Because even if some ȧduŀt wizard who was good at transfiguration tried to do replicate this feat, he would only be met with failure.

After all, it took a lot of will and intent on his part to make this transfiguration possible.

Only Hermione or possibly Dumbledore would be able to do what he had done here.

Hermione because she was getting very good at will and intent magic and Dumbledore because of his mastery over Transfiguration and his large magical core.

No one else would be able to do this.

If they were capable of doing this, then the rich people in the magical society would already be wearing robes that were transfigured from Dragon hide.

And this was just one of the many defenses that he was preparing for himself.

By the time Voldemort enters the society once again, Harry would wipe the floor with his ȧss.

He was sure of it.

With those thoughts, he laid his head down on the table as sleep claimed him.

—————

* Harry feels someone crossing his wards at night and follows this person to the forbidden forest. There, he finds Quirrelmort already feasting on a dead Unicorn. Harry hates the fact that Voldemort was able to kill such innocent beings for his own greed. He also hates the fact that he could have saved all those unicorns if he had killed Quirrel earlier so he felt bad as well. In the end, he attacks Quirrelmort and steals the Unicorn body. He decided that it was time to kill Quirrel and kills the wizard.

Harry was working on the second damaged pensieve late in the night when he felt a prick on his senses.

Then he felt Selena move from under his robes as she poked her head out of his robes and said ”Harry… Someone with a very dark signature just entered the forbidden forest once again.”

Harry grimaced at that and gave a nod to her and she went back into his sleeves.

That time when he had to watch Quirrelmort kill a Unicorn and drink it's blood so that he could salvage the body for himself without getting cursed for killing a Unicorn.

Despite his indifference to the populace of the Wizarding world, he was not a monster and watching something as pure and innocent as a Unicorn die and not doing anything about it always made him feel like shit.

Worse part was that he knew that he could simply kill Quirrelmort and stop all these deaths but Unicorn blood and the other parts of it's body was not something that you could buy in the black market.
