Wizardry System

When Chris woke up the next day, he first reread the mysterious book that he found.

'It doesn't make sense. A foreign lady holding hope? What kind of foreign lady holds hope?' Chris thought. After eating breakfast with the girls, the three of them went to Transfiguration class.

"Today we'll continue to review the spell we learned yesterday," Professor McGonagall said.

...

The hour passed by quickly with Chris practicing the spell and occasionally helping out other students who were struggling. Right before class ended, Professor McGonagall went to where Chris, Hermione, and Kristine were.

"I would like to talk to you three after class ends. I'll write a note to your next teacher so do not worry about that," Professor McGonagall said to them and walked away.

"Is this about yesterday?" Hermione asked. "Didn't I already get in trouble for that?"

"You think she's going to revoke the points she awarded us and take away more points from Hermione?" Kristine asked.

"I don't know," Chris said completely clueless as the book didn't have anything like this. "Well whatever it is, we have no choice, but to take whatever she hands out,"

When class was over, the three nervously went to Professor McGonagall.

"Professor is there anything you need from us?" Hermione asked with a frightened tone.

"Now no need to be so nervous Miss Granger. I have already taken off points from you yesterday and said everything I needed to say," Professor McGonagall said with a smile. "However, before talking about this matter, I would like to ask you three to sign this parchment. If this cannot be done, then leave the classroom,"

She then proceeded to give them a parchment.

'The students signing this parchment will not tell any of contents said regardless of agreement or disagreement. If the student breaks this rule, they will give the Professors legal rights to modify the memory of the contents said,'

The three looked at each other seriously.

"If this is what is needed to be signed, then this must be serious. Let's sign it. It's only a confidentiality paper," Kristine said.

"But hypothetically, what if we're tortured. Let's say someone used the Cruciatus Curse on us?" Chris asked.

"We will have measures against that," Professor McGonagall said. "However, before I continue please sign this parchment,"

The three signed the parchment and Professor McGonagall smiled.

"What you're here for is something else. After seeing your talents yesterday Mr. Evergreen, I have fully realized what is needed to be done. A few professors such as Professor Snape, Flitwick, and I have decided to create a club. It's specifically for dueling so spells such as your Reductor curse will be taught although it will not be used like you did Mr. Evergreen. We will invite 3 students per year from each house. Each student will be the most talented within their year and house. For the Ravenclaw first year, Professor Flitwick decided to choose you three. Will you three join?"

Hermione, Kristine, and Chris all looked at each other and nodded.

"Yes, this is such a great opportunity for us to learn new things!" Hermione said happily. "We'd love to join,"

"But Professor, what's this dueling club for anyways? I'm sure it's not only because of Chris' action last night. Also, why do we need to be so secretive about this. Can't we just make a simple dueling club?," Kristine asked.

"Well there's no need to worry about that Miss Alder," Professor McGonagall said. "It's an extremely complicated explanation so I will not get into it. As for your second question, it is also an extremely complicated question. All I can say is that Professor Dumbledore will not have the best time if others knew that this club was being made,"

"Professor, what about the Slytherins?" Chris asked. "While there may have been some people that have gone evil in other Houses, Slytherins have a history of falling into the dark side. I would say at least 90% of Death Eaters who came from Hogwarts were Slytherin students,"

"Of course, every student will be monitored and screened carefully so that there would not be any of that. Professor Severus Snape will personally make sure of it. In my opinion, he's the best at differentiating who's good and who's bad," Professor McGonagall said.

Chris nodded. As Snape was a Death Eater himself, it wouldn't be too difficult to notice anything strange with any of the students.

"Alright is that all your questions? If so, Professor Flitwick will give you the timetable later after we have decided on all our students. I'll write you guys a note to your next class so hurry on!" Professor McGonagall said as she started writing.

"Oh yes," Professor McGonagall said suddenly. "Please sign this parchment as well,"

She gave them a parchment that had the following.

'The students signing this parchment will not be allowed to talk about the dueling club to anyone. If a student breaks this rule, the student will be forced to leave the club and gives legal rights for the Professors to use Legilimency and the Memory Charm to modify the memories of the Dueling Club. Professors will completely make sure that each and every student is completely safe and if there is an accident, there will be compensation for the student and the school will try every means to properly heal the student. If a student purposefully gets hurt to receive compensation, the school will immediately expel the student and the student gives legal rights for the Professors to use Legilimency and the Memory Charm to modify the memories of the Dueling Club and no compensation will be given. There will also be no help from the school to help heal the student in this case. If there is foul play, the student committing foul play will immediately be expelled and the student gives legal rights for the Professors to use Legilimency and the Memory Charm to modify the memories of the Dueling Club,'

"This is quite the parchment we have to sign Professor," Chris said.

"Well, this is to protect the club. Oh yes, if you're wondering if the teachers have to sign anything, we have another contract made for us," Professor McGonagall said.

The three signed the parchment and Professor McGonagall gave them the note.

After she gave them a slip of paper, the three left the classroom.

'Why did they do this? Dumbledore knew that Voldemort was still alive even now and he still didn't create any clubs. Why would they create this now?' Chris thought as he went to the next class.

However, he couldn't really find an answer as he arrived to his next class with his note.
