A Useful Charm

The Giant Steel Golem looked very intimidating even though it only stay in the middle of the room.

Harry's height was not even half of it. Anyone could see that with just a single slam from the golem, it could flatten Harry to meat paste.

But Harry didn't put it in his eyes. To him, the steel golem was just a giant block of steel with no intelligence whatsoever. However, it doesn't make Harry underestimate his enemy.

Harry walked slowly into the room while pointing his wand at the golem, ready for confrontation.

He got closer and closer, but the golem still didn't show any sign of movement whatsoever.

"Could it be I am overthinking things?" Harry mumbled, then shook his head, "Whatever, better safe than sorry."

Harry stopped walking when he got close enough for his spells to works and reach his target.

He pointed his wand to his target once again, but before he utter the incantation for his spell, the giant steel golem's eyes lit up with strong crimson light as though it sensed the threat emanating from Harry very being.

Seeing this, Harry only smiled as if already expecting the obvious. He shout out the incantation of his spell with confidence, "Diminuendo!"

Shua~

A white mist suddenly appeared and enveloped the giant steel in its loving embrace.

Bam~! Bam~!

The giant steel golem moved its giant legs toward the intruder to crush its enemy. But white mist followed the giant steel golem as it moved.

What Harry cast was shrinking charm, but it was different from the one he used back then when he shrink the shoe to the size of a nail. This is the advanced spell that more effective when used on moving hostile or massive object.

Shua~~

The white mist started to reduce the volume of the golem. Whether it's head or its giant hammer-like hands, everything was quickly shrinking like a balloon after being pierced with a needle.

The closer it moved to Harry, the smaller its size becomes.

And by the time it takes six steps forward, it had assumed the size of a toddler's toy.

This is the size that most people find it harmless. Even an elementary grade student could destroy the golem into pieces with an empty hand. But Harry didn't underestimate it one bit. Who knows if it could launch a nasty tricks from its butt.

The steel golem had turned into a small golem, but it didn't care one bit about its fate as it proceeds steadily toward Harry.

Harry gave the golem amused glance and waved his wand, "Tarantallegra!"

Shua~

The golem changed its pattern as it stopped in track and both of its legs started to spasm wildly. And much to the giant steel golem chagrin, its priority was no longer to destroy the intruder but to dance instead.

The steel golem continues to dance wildly in place, ignoring everything around it.

Harry who had walked away from the golem and a step away from the pile of gold stopped in track. He turned back and flicked his wand, "Reducto!"

Boom!

The tiny steel golem exploded into fine ash as it scattered in the air.

Harry holstered his wand and went to the pile of wealth.

He walked past the gold as he had no method to store such a massive amount of wealth. Along the way, he would sometimes prod the pile of gold to find some intriguing items that caught his interest. Basically anything other than gold and jewelry.

Clink~ Clink~~

The sounds of gold coins, gold bars, and shiny jewelry scattered around the floor resounded nicely in his ears.

Harry was swimming in the sea of gold!

He never see so much wealth in his whole life, not even in the TV show and movies.

"Not good, I should stop grinning like an idiot. This is very unbecoming of grand sorcerer."

Harry holds back his joy and urge to laugh out loud by changed his focus to the other treasures on the other side of the room.

Clink~~ Clink~

"Hmm? What is this..." He raised his eyebrows in confusion, "A beaded... handbag?"

"Why was there an old handbag in the treasure room... weird."

Harry picked up the beaded handbag and examined its every crook and cranny for any secret function it has, but he had no luck so far. Harry briefly wondered if the beaded handbag is an ordinary bag one could buy in random stores.

He was about to throw the handbag into the pile of gold when he suddenly froze his motion.

His eyes lit up brightly as a brilliant idea popped into his mind.

Considering he had no way to get access to a magical bag just like in Harry Potter's memory, then maybe he could create his own magical handbag.

"I think Extension Charm should do the trick."

"With this, I'd be able to carry all of the gold and jewelry here!" He said with excitement in his voice.

A few minutes later, Harry was holding the beaded handbag with a smile on his face. Harry examined the bag and amazed that such small handbag could store plenty of things.

Satisfied with his work, Harry walked to the pile of gold and jewelry.

Shua~~

With a flick of his wand, the pile of gold flying on their own toward the black handbag on the floor.

The handbag was pretty small so it should only be able to contain a small amount of gold before it was full. But contrary to the common sense, the pile of gold kept flying in the air as it went toward the small handbag as though it was a bottomless abyss.

The sight of mountain gold poured itself into the small handbag is very magical, but also quite comical. Harry laughed a few times at that scene.

He also put the items that he had collected earlier into the handbag along with the gold and jewelry.

Damn, he had wasted his time and effort to collect the odd items but in the end, he put them back together again.

His mouth spews curses from time to time as he watched his items mixed with the rain of gold as it pouring itself endlessly into the handbag. However, the smile on his lips betrayed his words.

Twenty minutes later, the small black handbag showed no sign of being full while the whole room of treasure was empty with no single gold coin remained.

He then picked up the black handbag and examine it's every crook and cranny carefully, but nothing was different. Everything is the same as the original handbag before it got enchanted with Extension Charm.

He shakes the handbag and his heart jumped in surprise.

A loud crashing sound come out from the small handbag. It was as though a massive amount of coins crashing against the building.

"I totally forgot about this interesting side effect." He sighed in defeat, "It's produced the sounds of the handbag's original content."

Harry then dropped the bag to the floor.

--Bang!--

He nodded in satisfaction and picked up the handbag before giving the room one last sweeping glance. After making sure there's nothing left in the room, Harry walked out of the secret passage with a spring in his step.
