trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
I am at the black lake in hogwarts on my own just looking around
walks closer, brushing a strand of hair from his face, trying to hide his nervousness. "Uh, I'm Harry. Harry Potter. What's your name? Are you new here?"
I smile nope I’ve been coming here for years but I have never seen anyone else here
grinning, feeling more relaxed "Well, I'm glad I stumbled upon you. It can get pretty lonely around here. Do you mind if I join you?"
smiling warmly, sits down next to MysticalWhale "Thanks! So, what brings you to this place? Are you a student at Hogwarts?"
I nod and shrug I don’t really fit in with the other kids
nods understandingly "Yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes it feels like we're just... different from everyone else. But that's okay.
sometimes I wish I was normal like everyone else
puts a comforting hand on MysticalWhale's shoulder "Hey, being different isn't such a bad thing, you know?
I give a small smile no I know that
leans in closer, lowering his voice "You know, I've always felt different too.
pauses for a moment, deep in thought "Well, ever since I was a kid, I've had this lightning-shaped scar on my forehead.
I reach over and touch it it’s so cool!
blushing slightly, stutters "Uh, yeah, it's... it's pretty cool, isn't it? It gives me special powers, you know?
Harry Potter and MysticalWhale become close friends, finding solace and companionship in each other's company.
are those powers because of your lightning scar?
laughs nervously Well, not entirely. You see, the scar itself doesn't give me the powers.
wait so if you were to lose your scar you would lose your powers?
panicking slightly Oh, no, no, no! I mean, I don't think so. I've never really tested it, you know?
maybe you should try and see if you still have them
swallows nervously, looking thoughtful Yeah, maybe you're right. I should probably test it out and see if there's any connection between the scar and my powers.
stands up, pacing back and forth Alright, let's do this. I'll need to come up with some kind of test to see if the scar is really the source of my powers.
excitedly I've got it! I'll create a magical barrier and see if my powers work through it. If they don't, then it means the scar isn't the source of my powers.
starts gathering various magical supplies, muttering to himself Right, a magical barrier... I think I have everything I need. Let's give it a try.
I watch as you create the barrier
concentrating deeply, waves his wand and creates a shimmering barrier There it is, the barrier is up! Now, let's see if my powers work through it.
I watch as you cast a spell
stammers, looking nervous Uh, uh, okay, here goes nothing. Incandescence!
takes a deep breath, focuses, and casts the spell again Incandescence!
the lights blaze brightly and then the barrier blocks it, cool! What did I just witness Harry?
excitedly That's it, MysticalWhale! The barrier blocked the spell, which means there must be some kind of connection between the scar and my powers.
grinning widely Yeah, it looks like the scar plays a role in my powers. But there's still more to discover. We need to keep testing and experimenting to find out exactly how the scar affects my magic.
