the next day news passed quickly among the students of Alex's duel with a dark wizard in the forbidden forest , his ability to cure injuries caused by black magic and also his contract with unicorns, many girls are enviously watching Cho and Hermione at this moment in the great hall and the professors are looking at Alex with surprise and joy. especially professor flitwick , he is proud that someone from his house has discovered something the magical world is searching for centuries, although some points are lost he didn't care because Alex earned more than 100 points by himself in this year and Ravenclaw is still in the lead.
Alex when he arrived at the great hall noticed the gazes and immediately understood the news of duel and his spells are spread many girls are looking at him whispering and giggling, some even winked to him, this made Cho jealous and she is looked like she is going to kill him, even Hermoine isn't much better at this moment a girl wearing Slytherin robes, platinum blonde hair, light skin colour , blue eyes and has rosy lips is approaching Ravenclaw table , all boys who seen her immediately fall in love with her even though she is a first year, she looks like an exceptional beauty even in the future.
Cho is now glaring at Alex who is silently eating his breakfast without a sound when he heard a girl voice saying," can I talk to you privately". when Alex turned his face he looks at the cute appearance of a blushing girl and agreed, which earned pinch from Cho on his waist and everyone in the great hall began whisper, professors had a look of "here we go again". especially Snape who is looking mockingly towards Alex with a teasing smirk.
after breakfast he arrived at the owlpost Daphne told him and she is fidgeting back and forth, looking at Alex who appeared she has a smile and said," can you really remove black magic from people ?", Alex replied," I don't know clearly but in most cases I think I can". Alex knows about Astoria Greengrass and her blood malediction, he can save her through the tailsman, but it's needed to be secret since the tailsman can cause unnecessary conflicts and he needed to explain about the spell in it. he thought of nagini's maledictus but also remembered astoria's curse, so he bought 10 tailsman at the same time, and it's still in the store.
Daphne though hesitant said," my family's ancestor is once cursed and the curse is surfaced on my sister, she is frail and weak due to the curse, can you remove the curse?".
Alex didn't speak and looked to be in thought and then said," so her case is a blood malediction, maybe it will work". Daphne after hearing this has her eyes show a ray of hope and said," it's fine, I will tell my family about this and ask them about this", Alex replied," you don't need to worry our families are in neutral alliance and don't belong to any sides, I'll try my best to cure your sister's curse".
Daphne after the conversation immediately sent an owl to her family saying she found someone who can cure the curse and mentioned his name and family.
after sending the letter she looked towards Alex with a blushing face and looking away from him, Alex also noticed this and decided ignore for the time being , although she is very cute looking at this age, he decided he will wait atleast until he cures the curse on Astoria before considering her feelings, he then left the owlpost only to see Cho and Hermione peeking from a corner and both of them rushed toward him and asked about it.
Alex didn't say about the curse and just said," it's about curing someone who is affected by a black magic, nothing more don't worry". Cho and Hermione looked suspiciously but didn't push this any further, they wondered why Alex didn't make a move with such a beautiful girl.
Greengrass manor:
after a day the letter reached Greengrass manor and Adorabella Greengrass who received the letter after reading. couldn't help but frown and after reading it she is thinking it's a joke but knowing her Daphne , she will not write something like this without fully looking into it.
Adorabella is now thinking about her younger daughter's curse and decided to ask the potter's about this as they are in alliance and ask them about Alex, she also came to know the toy golems that are circulating in the wizarding world is Alex's creation and intrigued by the child , if what Daphne said is true, then she will gladly accept their help and even ready to form a relation between families,. she has been searching for a cure to the curse since the birth of Astoria.
back to Hogwarts:
Alex is in lime light now as everywhere he goes some girls are following him, even senior students also, the professors are also looking at Alex now and then especially McGonagall who witnessed Alex's spells and transfiguration through the spell.
by the time all classes are over Alex is exhausted and wanted to rest in his room but McGonagall informed Alex about Dumbledore's invitation and told the password as lemonade, Alex goes to the headmaster's office and he knew what Dumbledore will ask him , curing the Longbottom couple, Alex plan to do it in future but as there is a turn of events, he decided to cure both Longbottom couple and Astoria Greengrass.
Alex arrived at headmasters office and said lemonade , the statue revealed the stairs and Alex went into the office, he looked at Dumbledore who is reading a book and tasting honey toffees one by one, when Dumbledore noticed Alex he got up and asked ," want some toffees?". Alex refused and asked for the purpose of his summon, Dumbledore is disappointed by Alex refusal to a toffee and after hearing his question directly answered," you can cure black magic , so I want to ask you to cure longbottoms, will you agree?".
