Chapter 14: Studying and new spells

Edwin began spending his free time in the room of requirement trying to Defeat the two statues but because of his limited knowledge in casting he couldn't beat them but he learned how to dodge and take a hit, Edwin came to the decision he needs to spend more time learning about new spells and studying,

" I want a comfortable place to study and practice, " Edwin said three as he walked back and forth a door came out of the wall Entering the room Edwin saw a library of books on the outer area of the room and at the center, there was an area set up for studying there was a soft-looking sofa which you could lay down on and a table with lumps of brick and wood scatted around an open area clear from books or furniture.

" Well let's get started " Edwin first looked for a transfiguration book and began to study when he had finished and was about to practice he looked at the scatted bricks and wood and began to transfigure one after the other into a box Edwin spent hours trying to turn them into boxes the first few attempts disfigure them and later turned into a simple box.

" Dippy brought your lunch "

" Thanks a lot, Dippy," Edwin said as he sat down and eat " Can you use the mind arts "

" Mind arts Dippy don't know what that is " " Dippy has to go back to work bye"

Edwin spent the rest of the day studying on charms, "Wingardium Leviosa " the table began to levitate and Edwin controls it as best he could before dropping it to the ground, Edwin went to the sofa and lay down closing his eyes " I'll take a short break ".

Edwin woke up hours later only to know that when he saw that the corridor was lit by the torches Edwin went back to Slytherin common where student was reading books talking and playing games, " yo Theo " Edwin called out to Theodore and pulled him away from everyone" your my friend right ?"

" yes... why ?" Theodore asked

" I found a secret room," Edwin said with excitement on his face " I wanna create a club "

" A club ?"

" yeah but not just any club one that everyone will fear and respect too " Edwin practically started to shout with excitement he always wanted to create a club/Guild in something but now he actually has a chance.

" That sounds terrible and after you know who I don't think anyone would want to join a club that is run by a Slytherin," Theodore said

" It won't be like that just a group of close friends hanging out helping each other" Edwin said grabbing Theodore " come on it would be fun "

" Fine "Theodore agreed to recalculate " when will we create the club "

" Next year or so " Edwin smirked " but we already got a place to hang out I'll take you tomorrow "

The next day after classes Edwin had to lose Draco and his bodyguards before taking Theodore to the room of requirement, Ever since the incident with Harry Draco and Edwin was on good terms with Draco considering Edwin his friend.

Edwin repeated the chant " I want a comfortable place to study and practice spells " three times and walked back and forth, Theodore taught Edwin was pranking him and was about to walk away when he heard a door open up and Edwin standing in front.

" This place is amazing... how and why does it have so many books "

" it's almost amazing just need music and it's connected to the library" Edwin stated " so any book the library have we got "

Edwin and Theodore spent a while studying, practicing subjects and competing against each other Edwin took the lead and asked Theodore to help him learn new offensive spells so the spent the rest of the day learning Jinxes.

" I'm heading back to the common room I have to help Daphne with potion," Theodore said

" so Daphne hmm " Edwin smirked as he hinted at something " keep up the good work " ( Edwin said with a thumbs up "

before Theodore could say anything Edwin close the door and wait a while before exit and entering again but what was int the room wasn't a library but an open area and two statues.

Edwin's heart started to race and a smile rose on his face " let's do this Im-PED-a-Men-ta" and attack one of the statues it began to move slow giving Edwin the chance to get behind it and making the other statue hit it and before the spell could ware off Edwin shot multiple red sparks at the arm that was holding the wand,

Before the arm could break the statue turned around " Shit it didn't last long enough " Edwin muttered the statue started to attack and making Edwin dodge " I know I shoulda practice more " After Edwin was pushed back into dodging he tried to use the impedameta jinx again to slow one of the statues but it fail and receive a sting on his hand leaving it swollen.

after getting a chance Edwin cast "Petrificus Totalus" binding one of the statue Edwin dodge the oncoming attack from the other one and cast a counterspell as another sting was coming at him the spell stopped and Edwin finish the last statue with Petrificus Totalus.

" I win !" Edwin shout as he notices the statue getting his smile turned to a frown " that cheating "

Edwin was preparing for another challenge but the statue went back to their original position as though nothing happened,

Edwin was back to Slytherin common when he ran into Snape " getting into fights are we "

" No sir "

" then what happens to your hand, " Snape asked

" I was practicing on dueling with Theodore and he got me "

" your lying, " Snape said, Edwin wanted to know if he messed and Snape knew something

" He's helping Miss Greengrass with a potion," Snape said " who were you fighting with "

" I wanted to practice the stinging jinx to use on Theodore " Edwin pause and smile" but it backfires on me "

" alright go see Madam Pomfrey about it " Snape knew that Edwin was lying and wouldn't stop so he didn't question it anymore

" yes Professor Snape "
