Chapter 12: Night time Library tour
I sat on my bed late at night, dinner finally finished after a frankly exhausting day. After the dark arts class finished I broke away from everyone and went towards the library where I was promptly denied entry because I didn't have an escort. With that being the case I spent the rest of my day wandering the halls of Hogwarts observing some spells being cast and trying them myself when no one was looking. When the day turned into night I finished dinner in the hall and soon came up to my bedroom. Now I sit here starting to prepare for my little library tour.
'Okay sis, I want to use the Create Magic Skill to make an invisibility spell, with sound dampening as well!'
[Calculating...]
[Ding! Cost is equal to 1000 MP.]
'I don't have that much mana do I?'

'So bloody close too... All well, could you just make it plain light bending invisibility?'
[Calculating...]
[Ding! Cost is qual to 600 MP.]
'That's doable!'
'Do it!'
[Sure sis, processing...]
[Syphoning from MP supply of Sis.]
I felt an ungodly pull from my abdomen as 90% of my mana just disappeared.
'Damn that's intense, is it done yet?'
[Ding! Congratulations for obtaining the spell {Invisibility}.]
[There are no verbal, somatic or material components to the spell, it just requires your intent to be used.]
'That's OP, I like it!'
'How much MP does it take to run it?'
[It requires 10 MP per minute of its use, it is recommended with the remaining 150 MP to wait until you regenerate you MP to 300 at minimum, sis.]
'That'll take too long to wait... I want as much time as possible in there.'
'Hmm, is there something in the Shop that I can purchase that could give me MP or increase my regen of it?'
[Certainly sis, I'll give you a relevant list now.]
|Shop|
[1-- Mana Potion (100 Diamonds)
[2-- Mana Blessed Body (2000 Diamonds)
[3-- Mana Conflux Core (20,000 Diamonds)
[4-- Ingrained Mana Meridians (400,000 Diamonds)
[5-- Holy Mana Conduit (40,000,000 Diamonds)
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
'Damn that escalated quickly... Okay, get me just a plain mana pot for now, I'll ask questions of the other ones later.'
[The Mana Potion will replenish 200 MP Instantly, just in case you were interested, there done]
[1500-100 , 1400 Diamonds left]
A small vial of blue liquid dropped onto the bed next to me as I started to play with the invisibility spell. My magic was pulled out from my abdomen as the amount that was pulled out became stretched as it felt like it was being pulled over my body like a blanket.
'This is cool, magic is really cool!'
[Sis, focus, you have a storage ring to sort out yet.]
'Thanks for the reminder. Please distribute it to me.'
[Already done.]
I looked down into my right hand and there sat a beautiful ring that seemed made of opalescent glass with golden filigree in the shape of flowers. Beautiful platinum bands vertically wrapped around the glass-like material like an ouroboros.
'It looks beautiful... How do I activate it?'
[Drip some blood on it, it will bind with your soul after doing so.]
Going to the cupboard in the room where all of the clothes were I searched for a needle or something sharp in the back of it. After a minute of searching I finally found a small pin in a knitting box at the back of the top shelf. Hastily I grabbed it pricked one of my finger and dribbled it over the ring. The ring began to absorb the blood until there was none left, I patiently waited until i felt a connection with the ring in my hand.
'Its mine, my own, my pr...'
[Stop that!]
'Oops, haha.'
The ring started to hover in the air levitating even higher second after second until it flew straight towards my right hand ring finger and attached itself to my finger. I tried to gently pull off the ring when it attached itself but it was immovable.
'Cool, I won't lose it this way. Neat.'
[That was the intention with the nature of it I believe.]
'How much can it hold?'
[5 Olympic swimming pools worth of things or 12500 m^3 if that's easier to understand.]
'That is a lot!'
[Yes it is, now I believe you have something to drink and then something to do.]
I heard my sister's words as I quickly downed the MP potion, the blue liquid tasting surprisingly like orange juice. I then walked to the door and peaked outside somewhat, my invisibility not active fully yet, as I had turned it off when I was searching for the needle.
Noticing no one was out in the hallway that leads to the stair I activated my new spell, quickly and quietly started to walk down the stairs until I reached the base of the stairwell. The stairwell itself was made of large bricks of mortar and stone, the age of the stones creating a somewhat stuffy atmosphere within the winding stairwell as my feet pattered along the stones.
I reached the bottom of the stairwell that lead into one of the main hallways of Hogwarts. I heard a few noises and sounds coming from rushed students who were currently racing to their dorms, but other than that the hall of clear.
'Let's go.'
[Mhm.]
Without delay I started walking towards the library only slowing down when people got too close and could possibly hear me. Other than a few instances however, nothing really happened and I was now standing out front of the mahogany door that was the libraries' entrance.
[Hmm, it doesn't seem to be magically locked, go ahead and try opening it.]
Following my sis's words i pulled on the doorknob and tried pulling it back ever so slightly. It was locked.
'It's physically locked give me a second.'
I closed my eyes and drew my magic power from my abdomen and radiating to my right hand. I pointed my index finger towards the lock.
{Alohomora}
With an almost soundless 'click' the lock opened from the inside of the room allowing me to steadily open the door. With alacrity I stepped into the room closing the door behind me. I took a moment to gather myself and take a breather my heart racing a little at what i was doing.
'This is so fun!'
[I know right, now, focus.]
I turned around observing the space around me, i recognised multiple areas within the library as multiple bookcases were lined with numerous book and curious trinkets.
'Can I get a basic analysing ability, you know like it pops up and tell me the info in a little screen or something?'
[There is one for 1000 Diamonds but it is the most basic one.]
'That'll do! With that i can tell what is important and what isn't.'
[Done.]
[1400-1000, 400 Diamonds Left.]
With that I swiftly start scanning the bookshelves for important books, most of which weren't at all. After scanning three to four bookshelves I finally came to the bookshelves with all of the basic spells.
'How do I put them all in my ring?'
Just as I asked that of my sister the ring flashed slightly and all of the books disappeared. My eyes widened is surprise as all of the bookshelves now sat bare, without anything on them.
[Like that. Now hurry on, you have to get the restricted and Forbidden books yet!]
I went to the next and the next hoping to find something of use only to come up relatively empty.
'i could try to take all of them...'
[You could but do you need to, not to mention that most of them are pertaining to Wizard laws, rules, taxes and so on... I'm quite sure your not going to read those.]
'I'll take all the books on alchemy, herbalism and schools of magic though.'
[Go on then.]
I took the next ten minutes sweeping the library clean of all of its valuable books. I now stood in front of the restricted sections' door. The door was made out of a lovely oak wood with polished surfaces and a lovely bronze doorknob that reminded my of the doors within government departments in Australia.
'Okay I'll deactivate my invisibility for a little so I can regen my mana somewhat.'
[Okay, good idea, be careful with this door, you may need to use more magic in the {Alohomora} spell.]
'Thanks sis I'll be careful.'
Following my sis's advice I pulled a larger part of my MP which was now at 200, dumping a full 100 MP into my hands as I chanted.
{Alohomora}
With a slight arcane fizzle the door opened a crack my hand following after it, slowly nudging it more and more until it was wide open.
'HeHeHe, this is gonna be good!'
'Wait! Sis, what if we framed it on Voldemort, stayed an extra day to remove any suspicion then booked it?'
[Oh, that's mischievous, love it! Let's do it.]
I slowly stepped into the room.
