Chapter 212: Great Sorcery

December 27

Harry was walking through the castle corridors. He almost forgot how quiet Hogwarts was during the Christmas break.

Only a few students decided to stay here. Most of them were seventh-years who barely did anything else other than going from their rooms to the library.

He had visited home just for one day to celebrate Christmas with his family and exchange presents.

This was also something that he was still getting used to… but he could not deny that he enjoyed it.

The cold winter breeze hit his face as he opened the castle doors.

Harry walked along the empty path that led to the Black Lake. No one came out here during this time of the year, so it was completely desolate… and the perfect place for large-scale magical tests.

"Dobby," he called once he arrived at the shore.

The elf appeared next to him. "Master, here is Dobby!" He was carrying a small book and a quill. His job was to act as an assistant and take some notes.

"Okay, this is going to be the spell test number… well, it doesn't matter. I'm just going to throw some magic around the lake and see what happens."

Dobby rapidly nodded and started writing something.

Harry had no idea what the elf was doing since they had yet to begin.

He pulled his metallic staff out and held it in his right hand.

The surface of the lake had a thin layer of ice on it but it wasn't thick enough to hold his weight as he stepped on it.

So, he dipped the tip of the staff in the water at the shore. "Magna… Glacies."

A path made of ice was created in front of him, leading up to the middle of the lake.

Harry was now able to safely stroll through the body of water until he reached the deepest parts of the Dark Lake.

Dobby waited for him at the shore since it would be a bit dangerous to be at his side.

"Okay, let us begin…" Harry lifted the staff in the air and channeled a large amount of magic into it.

It was enough to make all three crystals shine with an eerie green light.

"Torqueo!" Powerful gusts of wind formed ahead of him and started to spin around.

This motion ended up creating a tornado that floated above the lake.

"Magna Custodia." His most powerful protection manifested around him, not only preventing him from being sucked into the vortex of wind but also keeping the ice beneath his feet from being decimated by the force of nature he had just created.

Harry proceeded to carefully observe the tornado that had just been formed. This could already be considered a Great Sorcery and not something that a single wizard should be able to conjure.

"But this is not enough…" He could feel that he was capable of more now.

"Ingens Flamma!" An endless torrent of fire erupted from his staff like the mouth of a volcano.

The fire was too strong to be put out by the winds of the tornado and ended up being moved around and mixed, creating an immense fire tornado.

"Oh, not bad!" He had a wide grin on his face. He was having fun with this.

The runes that floated around his shield were starting to move very fast. This was an indication that his shields were under great strain.

This level of Sorcery would have been enough to destroy that massive basilisk he faced the previous year, and he did it without the help of any artifact.

And after all of that...he still didn't feel close to magical exhaustion.

"Great!, let's go for the grand finale before my shield collapses." Harry aimed his staff at the fire tornado.

Electrical sparks traveled over his body and through the metallic surface of the artifact.

His eyes shone as brightly as the crystals on his weapon as the magic around him became denser and more concentrated. "FULMEN!" 

Harry aimed the bolt of lightning at the center of the fire tornado.

The clash of magical energies broke their flimsy balance. The wind currents from the tornado went awry, sending fire and sparks everywhere in at least one mile around it.

Harry was thankful for his foresight in performing this test in such an isolated place.

The spectacle of wind, lightning, and fire lasted for a good minute before it finally ended.

Harry's shield crumbled right before he reached the shore.

'Okay… now I'm feeling quite exhausted…' Not that it was surprising after all of that.

"Master!" Dobby was jumping in excitement.

Harry smiled. He loved seeing his little friend so happy. "Did you like it, Dobby?" It must have been like fireworks for the little guy.

"Master!, there!!" Dobby shouted while moving his free hand around in a frantic manner.

"I know. It was fun for me too, but I can't do it again, Dobby. I'm a bit tired," Harry told the excited elf.

"Master Potter Harry Sir!... the docks are on fire!" Dobby finally managed to get it out.

"What docks?" Harry had no idea what he was talking about at first. But then he looked to where Dobby was pointing and was able to finally remember them. "Oh… those docks…" He had completely forgotten that they were there. 

"Master!" Dobby cried.

"Well… there is not much I can do at this point, to be honest…" The fire was too violent and had already consumed most of the wood.

Even if he ran all the way there and cast his strongest Aguamenti, it would do as much as pissing on a house fire.

At least the docks were isolated so nothing else would burn along with them.

"I don't think a Reparo would work either…" Harry saw the platforms collapse one after another. The wood was consumed and turned to cinders. "Mmmm, Dobby?"

"Yes, Master?"

"Let's not talk about this with anyone…"
