Chapter 128 - Book for muggle parents (1/2)
Harry looked at the multiple runic circles and arrays he had drawn on the wall with a frown before he took out his wand and took a few steps away from it.
Then he pointed his wand at the wall and said ”Titillando” the incantation of the tickling hex and a small purple ball came out of his wand, struck the wall and got absorbed by the wall.
He waited for the wall to release the spell back at him once again but when it didn't work for half a minute, he let out a sigh and put his wand back in it's holster before walking up to the runes once again.
He was working on runes that would capture and release the spells thrown at them so that he could put them on his robes but so far, he had not met with any success.
Well, he knew from the very start that this was going to be a hard project so he was not very disheartened. He also knew that he would not be able to reflect back all the spells but that was alright.
He would eventually make his robes immune to all the spells one way or another. If he was able to reflect back some of the spells thrown at him, then that would just an additional benefit.
He gave one last look at the wall before he sat down on the desk, taking out the quill and parchment and trying to create a new runic system from the scratch before Selena came out from under his sleeves and said ”Someone is coming.”
He put the quill down and looked at her ”Who?”
The Horned Serpent waited for a few moments, probably sensing the magic that was coming in their direction before she turned to him and replied ”It's Hermione.”
He nodded at her and she went back under his sleeves.
He remembered from the movies that Voldemort had put a ton of charms on his pet snake Nagini which had the effect of making her almost immune to spells. Perhaps he would be able to do something like that for Selena as well.
As he thought about that, the door opened at an excited Hermione Granger entered the room with a huge smile and he instantly became wary of her.
An excited Hermione Granger usually meant trouble for him and he could only hope that she had not she had not started some form of campaign for the welfare of the Cornish Pixies or something equally foolish like that.
His wary expression only seemed to further excite her as her smile turned wider and she came up to his desk and dropped a whole bunch of paper in front of him.
”Hello Hermione.” He said, his eyes looking warily at the large bundle of papers, wondering if it was what he thought it was ”Can you tell me what this is?”
”Harry. This is the manuscript of the book that you told me to write.” She said happily and he almost ġrȯȧnėd. Almost.
But he knew that showing such a negative reaction to her hard work would seriously put a dent on her growing confidence so he would never do such a thing.
Instead, he smiled and patted her cheeks affectionately ”Good job Hermione. I knew you would be able to do it within the time frame.”
Then he looked at the bundle of 1500 or so pages and inwardly frowned.
It did not need to be very well written or very entertaining. It just needed to be written with the facts about the magical world that is generally not told to the muggle population by the Hogwarts teachers.
It also needed to be filled with tips on what they could do to help their magical children and what not.
In essence, it would be the first book in history written by a magical person that would help the muggle parents understand the magical world to a greater degree so that they would be able to provide their children with better support.
When he had tasked Hermione to finished this job within the time limit, he had known that she would pull through for him even if she had to pull all nighters and had even allowed her to use the time turner with him.
And she had pulled through for him.
