I spent the rest of the ride contemplating on what I should do this year. I wasn´t going to pay Tonks a visit every day, most likely just every 3-4 weeks, and I had no real reason to even attend Hogwarts due to me being becoming the most knowledgeable and talented being over the summer break. I was mostly just here to enjoy the chaos that will happen here for the next few years. I was now debating if I should just let the clone take over the regular life like class and homework while I stay in a pocket dimension and use game magic to survey and watch everything in the castle like a movie or the security.
Honestly, both options were boring but at least the second one gave me some time to work on my projects even though I know that finishing even one of them before I graduate is impossible. Well, I will go with the second one for now since there won´t be anything interesting happening during the first half of the year and I could always switch.
We arrived at the station after sunset and that was without me prolonging the ride, it was definitively longer than last year, probably Dumbledore trying to give Harry more time to make friends. This old man was very sly, he had Harry make friends and have good memories at Hogwarts just so he would willingly sacrifice himself later. I had to agree to his methods however, if harry didn´t have good friends and pleasant memories he might not be willing to die for them.
As a second year, I didn´t take the boat like the firsties, that was mainly to give them a show and to let the older students arrive earlier. If the two Idiots hadn´t decided to crash land in their second year, they might have known that and simply landed in the forest to take the carriage.
The carriages were of course pulled by Thestrals, which I could obviously see. I had witnessed death in any way, shape or form you could think of.
Looking around, I saw the conspicuous white hair in one of the carriages. She was now dressed in clothes way thicker than anyone around her and she still had that distant look. I hope she will recover soon, no one likes to play with broken toys and that includes me.
We were now all sitting on our respective tables waiting for McGonagall to let the brats in and to sing that horrendous song to them, so that they can pass this terrible tradition to the future generation as well. That reminds me, I should make myself Headphones that can play any music, block any sound and look cool. Another thing on my already long to-do list, the struggle of someone that has infinite time and potential. I don´t think I will ever get to the bottom of the list because there will always be new things that I can do.
While we waited, I once again glanced at my newest toy and it seemed like some of her friends and housemates notices something wrong but didn´t get a question upon asking. I kinda wanted to mess with her, should I do it? Screw it, why not. With a thought I activated the enchantment on all three piercing that produced a small charge of electricity.
Her reaction was instant, she almost shot up from her seat and her emotionless eyes widened in shock. After the enchantment stopped, I could see the look of shock and horror in her eyes as she realized that I didn´t just leave and that I wasn´t done with her yet either.
But at least she didn´t have these empty eyes after I zapped her and she was finally more responsive to her surrounding and friends, so your welcome. This shock therapy is more helpful than I thought, maybe I should become a therapist.
Soon after, the giant door finally opened and McGonagall walked in with the group of kids and of course that stupid hat had to start singing.
The sorting ceremony went on as usual until the 'boy who lived' was call forward and everyone started freaking out. Of course, the griffins were hyped about the fact that he was sorted into their house, they would however soon find out that he isn´t as great and talented as his legends told him to be and would cause them to lose a lot of their precious points.
It´s obviously that Dumbledore would cheat to let Harry win the House cup in his very first year but we already talked about that.
The rest of the day was just spent with feasting before going to bed. I could replace myself with my clone tomorrow, for now just let me sleep a bit.
