(Connor pov)
As we ran corridors me and Jacob started playing rock paper scissors as Dumbledore gave us a run down on what was happening.
Apparently some dude who's name shouldn't be said aka Voldemort, is after something called to philosophers stone. Harry's now in a fight with him, but Volde's also weakened.
We soon come to a descending staircase which we quickly exit to find Harry laying unconscious next to a mirror. Dumbledore quickly runs over and checks on Harry as me and Jacob survey the surroundings. We find a ring of burn marks which would've blocked anyone's escape and the strange mirror.
As I stood in front of it a figure of myself showed up but seemed to be happy, he doesn't have any military gear on but turns away from where I'm facing and slams off.
I look over to Jacob, "you seeing this shit?" I ask as Jacob takes his eyes off of the mirror.
-I didn't like what I saw, but the dread I felt from what I am now is something to find out later-
"The hell does that even mean," I ask following after Dumbledore, who's carrying an unconscious Harry.
-We'll have to see.-
"Cryptic, cool," I say as we leave back to we're we came from.
(time skip and whatnot)
As I sat in the library reading about future topics such as transformations and alchemy I sit up and stretch to see Jacob looking at a book intently.
"You alright man," I say while closing the book I was reading.
-I don't know if I can touch the book- he says while bringing his hand closer to the book. As he does so the flames grow and reach out for the book as Jacob pulls his hand back before they reach it.
"Sucks man," I say while reopening the book I closed reading about changing animals and people into other things.
-Not the response I was expecting, I'll leave first then- he gets out of his seat and leaves for our common hall.
As he leaves I wonder what the next year holds for me. First year was relatively quiet considering I was brought into a secret world of magic people.
The only major things that happened were my quidditch games and my constant belittling at them. The fact that me not flying and am still on the team bewildered most people.
We won all of our games though, so my team wasn't complaining cause something was working.
It's almost the end of summer and my understanding of the gun and chest still hasn't changed.
After Jacob nothing else came out of the chest, except for Freedom occasionally popping out of it with the wizard news.
My research on my gun has led me down many rabbit holes on the modifications I can add to it, but most haven't been battle tested so I'll have to find a way to fight people without me fearing for their life.
