"Now, I only have to deal with the aftermath,' thought Chris as he put his wand back in its holster.
He didn't need to worry much. No one, except the referee, heard him casting the Silencing charm. What they all saw was, a boy simply casting a summoning charm, and then realizing that the whole debris had started coming forward, he panicked and tried to warn Louise. But Louise was too busy teasing him while smirking to notice it.
He intentionally let the ref. know so that she doesn't suspect why the debris was moving so silently.
He kept on his panicked expression as he quickly approached Louise to check out her condition. He knew the drill now since this was his second ti doing this.
'Dayyym,'
Chris drew in a sharp breath upon seeing her condition. His anus contracted involuntarily in fear and cringe as hoped sothing like to never happen to him or his people.
'Seriously man, no one should make enemies with . Because when I make a move, I scare even myself.'
First of all, nothing was permanent. She'll be right as rain in a few days. And even the injuries weren't serious. He hadn't used much force, to begin with. They might have pierced at most...a couple inches, maybe. He'd made sure to avoid the spinal cord as well, so it's not like he was aiming for physical injury. Nope.
He's talking about the SHEER amount disgrace, dishonor, degradation, sha, humiliation, and embarrassnt that she's suffering from right now!
With her clothes were torn in so places, she's lying doggie style, with her naked butt sticking out for the world to see, with a lot of shrapnel stuck in it.
And then there's the screaming and crying. She's screaming like a b*tch right now.
Louise Fontaine...also known as the goddess, Miss perfect, the kind-hearted and noble and graceful beauty.
She's now lying in such a position in front of the whole french wizarding world. It has to be ntioned that Journalists from various newspapers and magazines are here right now. And they're not gonna miss this perfect shot. It's already been captured in their caras, ready to be immortalized forever.
After coming back from the hospital, today the first thing Chris did was to talk to the photographers, so make a deal with them. He's going to buy one of the originals of this one. A close-up shot. It's going to be very useful.
When he went back to the VIP section, he looked deeply depressed and regretful. His mother didn't talk to him this ti.
'Oh man, it seems I've been seen through.'
Chris shook his head in real regret this ti. All the other people would be fooled by his acting, but since his mother and father knew full well that he could have controlled the spell very well and stopped it before it hit her, and have also witnessed his dueling prowess. They wouldn't be fooled easily by this. They even know a little about his skills in lying, pretending, and manipulating.
"Mom."
*tug*
"...."
"Mom."
*tug* *tug*
While Chris was trying to reconcile with his mom, Fleur was feeling very happy for so reason after witnessing Louise getting trashed like that in front of the whole school. Louise, who was once Fleur's friend had betrayed her very badly and all of Fleur's other friends also distanced themselves from her after that. Each and every new friend she made, Louise would talk to them, and then they'll beco Louise's friend instead of Fleur's.
So, just now when she saw Louise on stage smiling at Chris as he was descending the stairs, she thought of Louise doing the sa with Chris, and Chris also becoming friends with Louise and distancing himself from her made her so sick that she almost lost control of her veela magic.
But, in the next mont, sothing completely opposite happened. She saw Chris going to the stage with a completely indifferent face and Louise once again stiffening up just like earlier, and then... Chris then what did to her....Oh, those screams sounded like music to Fleur's ears and she also realized just how easy Chris had been going on her in their duels.
...
After that, it was Fleur's turn next, and sohow, her opponent also ended up in the hospital wing. No one knew what happened, except the fact that the guy said sothing to Fleur before duel after which, Fleur completely butchered him. And of course, it looked like it was an accident. Injuries are quite common in duels. Camille wasn't worried for Chris for nothing when he said he going to participate.
There were two more duels that were supposed to happen after that, between Chris and Fleur's opponent, and between Fleur and Louise. But since their opponents were currently unable to participate, Fleur and Chris were officially declared the Winners and the representatives of France for the upcoming dueling Championship. They'll now be trained for the whole sumr before the tournant begins.
Right after the event was concluded, a banquet was held in the Beauxbatons great Hall to celebrate and honour the two champions. And Chris and Fleur were congratulated and flattered by many mobs.
The great Hall of Beauxbatons was just as massive as the one at Hogwarts. Space was never much of a problem in the Wizarding world anyways due to extension charms. There was a wide variety of French dishes, each and every one of them looking quite appetizing and mouth-watering. The rich aroma wafting from them would cause one's stomach to start rumbling.
The Great Hall was still decorated in the Christmas the. There was a massive Christmas tree in the center which was decorated extensively. Beautiful and well-sculpted ice statues were standing everywhere. The nurous candles in beautiful gold and silver candlesticks, Garlands Ropings, swags, ribbons, poinsettias, Christmas tree ornants, wreaths were all adding to the ambiance.
"So, how's it?" Asked Fleur smugly.
Looking around, Chris nodded in satisfaction. If there's a chance, he'll consider joining Beauxbatons soday. It'll be a nice change of pace.
"It's great. I sohow still prefer Hogwarts though...even though it's inferior in term of looks," said Chris honestly.
Fleur pouted, "It seems that I'll have to see Hogwarts for myself," she muttered and Chris shook his head. 'She'll not like it...this luxurious princess.' he thought, rember the canon where Fleur looked at the Hogwarts in disdain when she first ca there.
"Are you wanting ze bouillabaisse?"He asked in a French accent.
"No, you can have it... why are you laughing?" Fleur had agreed, but she frowned and asked why Chris was chuckling.
Chris waved his hand dismissively. "Oh, you won't get it. It's an inside joke." If soone in Chris's previous world hadn't understood the joke, Chris would have given the standard answer: read the books.
(It's Fleur's first dialogue in canon.)
While Chris was having fun, he didn't notice that he'd caught the attention of a very old person.
....
The Christmas holidays went by far too fast, but he wasn't too regretful. Life in this world is never boring for him since he has his passion, magic to study and practice all the ti. So unlike his previous life where he used to dislike studies and sotis the school in general, there was nothing like in this life. He enjoyed life in Hogwarts.
Even before Chris returned to Hogwarts, the news of his participation in the world dueling tournant to represent France had spread around in the school.
The two people who were going to represent Britain were also already chosen by now.
So people might be thinking: How?! When?!
Well, the two participants chosen are in their sixth year and are from old pureblood families. Is there a need to be more clear?
Yes?
Then here it is: The old pureblood families offered the minister Fudge help in the 'funding' of so of his projects and also promised him so favors, and the highest two bidders got the spots for their children.
This is sadly how things work in the Magical Britain. And this is why Chris hates politics and politicians. As long as it's not him doing the bad and corrupted deeds, it's very detestable. Only soone like himself should be allowed to do things as he pleases. Chris is a proud and honorable hypocrite.
Anyways, the corruption and Nepotism was the main reason why the Goblet of Fire was invented. Those people in his previous life, after reading the fourth canon book, and learning about the troubles which the Goblet had caused had often questioned the need of it's existence, saying that it was rather unnecessary since the selection of champions could have been done through other thods.
Now they should get their answer. The Goblet is necessary if you really want to ensure that the most talented student gets to be the champion. Though it's a different matter altogether that even it can be tempered with as well since Crouch was able to confound it. So, even though their reasons and need for making it were real, but they couldn't quite make sothing infallible in the end.
When Chris returned to Hogwarts fully recharged, the first thing he did was catching up with friends and thanking them for gifts. The first thing they did this ti as well was congratulating him, just like last ti.
"Seriously," said Harry while shaking his head. "You always do ridiculous things in holidays. Last ti you went to France and found your family. And this ti you suddenly beco the representative of France in an international tournant. You remind of Tony Stark, genius but crazy."
Chris nodded absentmindedly, but suddenly had a thought! What if he tried making so of Iron Man's stuff using magic?! He could definitely create a Jarvis using magic, he'll just have to code the Transfigurations for a long ti. And he can also make a suit! The basters would be
"Chris? Chris? Earth to Chris?" Harry was waving his hand in front of Chris.
Chris snapped out of it and shook his head. "Sorry, you know what happened," he said and Harry nodded as he also rembered. Chris would oftentis go into a trance whenever he thinks of so innovative ideas. The only problem is, it happens to often.
Chris sighed, 'Such is the fate of geniuses. No shortage of ideas, only shortage is ti,'
While Chris and Harry were having their back and forth, their friends were once again left out of the conversation. Harry and Chris have known each other for atleast five to six years. So of course their talks and references always leave the other confused as to what they're talking about.
Susan was the one who was most excited today, "You're actually going to participate in an international duel already!" She muttered, mostly to herself. The girl was a dueling fanatic since her childhood, and her dream to be a great professional duelist...which she thought that Chris already was.
Chris shook his head in denial. "It's not a big deal. It's only under 17. Before you reach the magical maturity, you're considered quite weak. So, the people participating are neither too strong, nor too skilled. On the other hand, if the people participating in the real World dueling tournant, the over-17 one, there's no age limit. You know, even soone who's been training in dueling for decades could be your opponent in that."
Chris really only participated since he wanted to have so fun and wizards upto 16 years of age are manageable without having to show much of the abilities which aren't already known.
"No, but you're still very good for your age," she said sulking, "We all saw what you did you Lockhart last ti."
Everyone had a smile when they rembered what happened to Lockhart. Speaking of whom, the man had ran away after the series of unfortunate events that had happened to. And Chris didn't bother to even stop him. The other curses he'd left on Lockhart would deal with him. Now even the best healers can help him from looking like an old wrinkled baldy.
After catching up with all his friends, Chris took Harry to go down and visit the chamber once again. After all, he had to get his Cabinet first.
They reached the second-floor bathroom and removed the invisibility cloak.
"Why are we going there again?" He asked, still not understanding why they would need to go to the chamber of secrets.
Chris rolled his eyes. "Dude, let spell it out to you. If you ever made a secret Chamber for yourself, and even leave a giant snake guard it, and only your descendants can enter it, would you leave it empty or put so valuable stuff in it?"
Harry's eyes widened, "I'll definitely leave sothing."
"Exactly! And you know what, even so small stuff of that ti will have a lot of historical value in the current era. And even if we don't find anything, we're not losing anything."
Harry nodded vigorously, now very excited to explore the chamber.
Even Chris was also a bit hopeful. Along with retrieving the cabinet, maybe he'll also be able to retrieve sothing else?
When they reached the sink, Chris saw that the very thin strand of silk that he'd left tied there was broken. That can only an that Dumbledore or soone else had already opened the chamber at least once in his absence.
That old man should have gotten quite the surprise when he didn't find the corpse there. Chris entered the passage, full of hope.
...
