Chereads / Hogwarts the Symphony of Fear / Chapter 6 - Hogwarts

Chapter 6 - Hogwarts

The books contain great powers capable of causing wars. The first was Dark Domination. It spoke about the power brought by darkness and everything it represents. The book told about the dark ages when darkness dominated the world.

It said that darkness could bring fear and power, and for that it had to be dominated.

Daniel and Robert were interested in this, after all, power for them and fear for their enemies were welcome, so they started reading the book.

"To dominate the darkness of the world, it is necessary to have a strong mind and determination. The beginning is 'tenaci', which conjures a dark hand capable of grabbing everything and crushing even dragon bones. The size depends on the user's strength."

Cain soon began to practice and in a few hours he was able to learn the spell. A dark hand was summoned and crushed the vase in the library as if it were nothing.

The second spell was 'Visio', which was used to see through the darkness, and Cain managed to conjure it the first time. being able to see the entire mansion at once, it was strange almost like being everywhere at once and using this he could also see that Cassandra had arrived and was in her room unfortunately with the lights on he could not see anything in the room..

Cain was also surprised to see 'ignis' in this book, it seems that Cassandra was using it for classes, as that spell had already been mastered they skipped to the next one 'dilacerant' an intermediate spell of medium difficulty Cain himself was only able to cast it once.

And the spell left 3 deep cut marks in the wood of the wall, but Robert and Daniel could not even cast the spell something was stopping them.

Then the Blackwood Family elf appeared it was late he came to take them home, the two said goodbye before disappearing with the elf.

And Cain continued to study the book "Darkness is my home, loneliness is my food and fear my strength" these were the words written by Casium Winters in 1604.

He continues reading, ignoring the spells and focusing only on Casium's reports and thoughts.

1632: The darkness showed me the way, they accompany me, whispering in my ears…

1637: I can see what was once invisible, darkness has illuminated my soul…

Reading that was fantastic for Cain, someone had managed to dominate the darkness and achieved the power he desired.

1658: The darkness is getting closer and closer, I can feel it touching my skin and tying itself to my magic…

1667: I can't run away anymore… it's here.

1702: The darkness is uncontrollable…

After Casium another name came up, Kiara Winters and just like Casium she reported the advances and her philosophies in the book… however the book was strange; the years Kiara reported were long before Casium.

1489: The darkness is beautiful and deep, I want that power.

1490: The darkness has made me beautiful and young again, I feel strong and stunning…

1498: I am the strongest now, I have no challenges… and the darkness wants more.

1499: I fought for many years with myself, and I kept winning… but the last one hurt me.

1520: I lost my first fight against myself…

1523: The darkness is stronger than the strongest…

The stories were from members of the Winters family who sought the power of the shadows and in the end were destroyed by them, that was revealing and made Cain understand something. He would have to be better than the others who came before him.

And so we spent the following months until the long-awaited day, and there they were in front of the train that would start a new chapter in their lives.

"You are ready, from now on we are shaping our future" Robert said as he put the suitcase in the train compartment "More than that Robert, we are going to change the entire wizarding world" Daniel replied seriously, meanwhile Cain was focused on something through the window.

A little girl with hair as golden as the sun and skin as pale as the moon was boarding, she seemed to dance as she walked unfortunately Cain could not see her face.-

-"We talked about possible plans and you were looking at girls" said Robert clearly joking about the situation that caught Cain after all he always avoided contact with girls and did not even look at them.

"I was just watching the sky, and as for the plans…" Cain stopped talking because he felt someone looking at them even though there was no one there, after a few seconds of thinking he understood… There is only one wizard who could know who was in each carriage and that would be the Hogwarts headmaster, and now Cain was left with the question why is he watching me?

Meanwhile in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts

"Dumbledore, I don't think it's appropriate to invade the students' privacy like this..." said Minerva, the Vice Headmistress of Hogwarts, Dumbledore looked at her for a few seconds before replying "I'm just concerned about the well-being of our future students Minerva, nothing to worry about" and then he turned and sat in the main chair in the office.

Dumbledore was thoughtful, the Winters boy stopped talking the moment he turned his attention to that carriage but in the end he dismissed any suspicion, how could a child who hadn't even entered Hogwarts feel his magic when not even his friends and peers could.

Cain warned Daniel and Robert about the surveillance and told them to stay alert.

The train ride was comfortable. No one entered the cabin to disturb the light atmosphere of conversation and jokes. However, it was time to stop. After all, the train had reached its destination.

They and the other students were guided to small boats by a giant. Hagrid was called the key keeper. He gave all the instructions and safety warnings.

When they thought they would be making the boat trip alone, another boy got on the same boat as them. "Hello," the boy said with a different accent. Then they turned their attention to him. He was tall and had a fit body, apparently. He had straight black hair and dark eyes with Asian features. After a while of talking, we learned that his name was Kaito Fujiwara.

They would have continued their conversation if they hadn't been silenced by the view of Hogwarts Castle. If there was one word to describe it, it would be magnificent. It was tall and bright, completely imposing on the mountain above. of the lake.

And soon the boats stop at the shipyard and Hagrid again leads the way through the corridors to a large staircase where they are greeted by none other than Minerva McGonagall, the vice-principal and transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts, who gives instructions to the students about the selection.

The doors to the hall opened, showing not only the older students but also a magical sky and floating candles. The pure-blood and half-blood Muggle-borns were open-mouthed and had stars in their eyes at seeing all of this, but for Cain and his friends, all of this was nothing more than street tricks.

Minerva explained that she would call everyone's names and that if they heard theirs, they should sit on the bench for the hat to choose their house, and so it went, name after name, house after house. All of this was irritating Cain. For him, it was all boring and slow until he called a name that sounded divine to his ears: "Luna Lovegood." He paid attention to this girl and discovered that she was the same one who would come on the train.

Luna was short with a ice blue eyes, there was something about her that caught attention and made people interested. The situation became even stranger when she sat on the bench and met my eyes. I could feel magical ripples. There was something different about her, just like there was about me.

"RAVENCLAW," the hat shouted to everyone, and the previously black outfit gained blue details. The girl, who seemed to dance as she walked, went to the Ravenclaw table, being greeted by greetings.

And so the hat continued to call Robert, who was assigned to Slytherin. However, the voices of Slytherin seemed to get quieter when Daniel was called. After all, they all knew about the Malfoys' downfall. He was also sent to Slytherin and was greeted with cold and mocking looks, which made not only Daniel angry, but also his brothers.

Then Cain's name was called and everyone in the hall went silent when they felt the boy's presence.

It was abnormal. Everyone could hear soft whispers and felt the candlelight above their heads grow dimmer.

The teachers looked slightly startled and worried, it is not normal for a first year to have such a heavy and disturbing magical aura, but the one who was most surprised was Dumbledore who recognized Cain.

sitting on the bench the hat was placed on his head "what do we have here, Cain Winters a prodigy worthy of the title of Salazar, I can see greed and an indomitable strength, I can also see sadness and fragility... where should I put you?" after saying all this the hat asked his opinion "wherever fate deems my place" said Cain because for him it really didn't matter which house he was placed in the plans would be the same "I understand young Winter, the possible future Star Nemesis" before Cain could ask about this title the hat shouted "SLYTHERIN" and was removed from his head, choosing to keep an icy face he heads to the Slytherin table amidst the silence of the hall.

That day would begin the incursion and domination of the Clear Sky.
