An Ton's Journey

Chapter 60 - Anton is learning 0_0 ( Edited )

While lying down on the floor, I began thinking. When did I go wrong? When, a leader of multi-planetary race agreed to become a student in a kid's school.

Yes, a magic school, but school.

I have power, but magic is unpredictable.

It is such a useful tool, that I really need to learn it.

I will have to read a lot.

In the morning, after thinking about my life, I went to the hall to eat.

While walking to the hall, I saw Quirrelmort walking in front of me. At that moment, I decided to feel him through the force. And it brought me to the scene of sleeping Volandemort's face that was drooling behind the turban.

It made me smile, as I entered the hall and began eating like never before.

As days passed, I began visiting Library more and more. Sometimes I used scanner from protoss to scan books and records information inside the tablet.

In the last few days, I broke five beds, ten chairs and two tables.

After that, professors enchanted furniture for me. After that, people began calling me furniture crusher.

I don't really know why they even think of nicknames for others.

Also, all the books that I Have bought, were recorded on the tablet, successfully making it easier for me.

In first weeks, I didn't really care much about the so-called golden trio, I was much more interested in Weasley twins.

They were bringing fun to everyone, sometimes at high costs.

After a month and a half since Hogwarts started, I began understanding why not everybody can use complicated magic.

In the first month, only the basics were taught. How to move magic. How to release it through the wand, and how magic reacts on different components of the spell.

In this world, wand was used as a amplification and concentration mechanism for magic.

Without wand, magic is hardly controllable, highly volatile, and extremely wasteful.

Wand allowed wizard to concentrate magic on it's end and allows for easier control.

My learning progress was faster than other's, because I already had a grown mind and could understand and connected more things together.

Also, strangely, new knowledge was pretty easy to remember for me.

~ The day of Halloween ~

While studying magic and restoring my knowledge from school, I almost forgot about today's events.

It is Halloween. And there would be a lot of magic candies on the table.

Walking to the hall, as it is just a morning, I saw huge crowd of students getting in.

After sitting in front of the table, I began grabbing all the tasty stuff and placing it in my backpack.

I always took it with me, as all my fast food is in there, and any time I want something, I open it.

Hufflepuffs already became used to my obsession with food. They are an extremely friendly bunch. Almost no one have problems with anyone else.

What I found out, though. Is that girls and boys sometimes visit each other at night.

I don't even need to think about what they were doing in there.

It is pretty obvious.

And I don't care enough to intervene in their relationships.

~ Day passed, right before Quirrelmort rushes in with news about the troll ~

As Quirrelmort tan inside while shouting " TROLL! TROLL IN TH... " he fell on the floor, falling right on to the Voldemort's face, making him shout together with Quirrell.

" Aaaaaaa"

" Aaaaaaa"

" NOOOOO"

Students began shouting and running in all directions, while I just continued chomping on to the turkey leg.

" SILENCE " Dumbledore shouted, amplifying his voice with magic.

One of basic things taught to us in the first Month.

" House heads, lead your houses to their dorms. Professors. Follow me. We Will find this troll!" He said, surprising me with his almost adequate reaction to the situation.

While everyone was leaving, I used force and began unwinding Quirrell's turban while I was leaving the hall behind all the professors and students.

Let's find out what you will do now. Voldy.

The moment everyone left the hall, I felt how Quirrell stood up and ran away.

I, on the other hand decided to see how strong troll actually is, so I just separated from the group.

No one looked for things like that. Strangely.

Arriving at the stomping sounds, I saw how troll was trying to take harry off from his head, while harry pushed his wand into troll's nose.

Ugh.

Harry! You are a Wizard!

Not a nose cleaner!

Looking at how they panicked, and Ron surprisingly was able to disable the troll, all the teachers arrived.

" What is going on? " McGonagall shouted at everyone present.

" Potter, Granger, Weasley, Popov! " You all earned yourself a detention!!!

" Hey. I just arrived when I heard the shouts. I didn't do anything! " I said, not wanting to do anything.

" You separated from your house! " McGonagall strictly replied.

" No. I just got lost. " I replied, bȧrėly holding my smile.

After that, came the famous trio's reason. Why the heck did they lie?

Well. whatever.

As Dumbledore rewarded griffindor points and led them out, I still didn't move.

" Antonia? What are you doing? " Dumbledore asked, as everyone was ready to leave.

" I am just thinking. How could troll walk from the dungeon, all the way up here, while even students would be slower. " I answered, thinking about smashing troll's head.

" This is not for you to worry about. leave it to us, ȧduŀts." McGonagall said. Why is she the one answering for headmaster?

" Are you sure you can do it? You couldn't protect kids from troll. In Hogwarts. How did he even appear in here, without anyone noticing? " I asked, not willing to just follow everything in the way they want.

" This is secret. Now, get back to your room " Dumbledore said, as trio already left to their rooms.

" Nope. not going to, until I know that troll is dead, and there is no danger. " I replied, making McGonagall shout.

" Watch how you speak with headmaster! 10 points from Hufflepuff! " McGonagall buŧŧed in.

" I see. Then I will take care of it by myself. " I said, and walked to the troll's head.

" What are you... " McGonagall began asking, before she saw how I just kicked troll's neck and separated it's head from the body with a bloody fountain.

" Antonia!" Dumbledore shouted, waving his wand and stopping the blood from pouring, while collecting the blood in to vials and cleaning my body from the blood.

" It is dangerous! " He shouted.

" And how... " Only after that did he realize that I just kicked troll's head off using no magic.

" What? I am strong." I replied to the dumbfounded Dumbledore and looked at McGonagall, as she was the only one left.

" You aren't eleven are you? How did you bypass the Hogwarts protection? " Dumbledore asked, looking at me and thinking.

" Oh, no. You misunderstood. I'm eleven. But who said that magic is the only way to become strong? " I said, finally realising that there is no reason for me to hide myself.

I already learned most of the things that they teach in the first year, excluding history and potion brewing.

These two were in a situation where for potions practice is needed, while history is just plain boring. And needlessly detailed.

" Follow me, Popov. " Dumbledore said, after looking at me for couple of seconds.

As I walked to his office, Fawkes rushed at me and tried to bite me.

" What the heck!?" I shouted and evaded him, catching him by the tail and pulling him by it.

And as feather tails were left in my hand, Fawkes rushed out using his fire to get behind the Dumbledore.

" What was that? " I asked dumbfounded Dumbledore, who looked at Fawkes and tried to ask about reasons for this attack.

" I don't know. Fawkes seems to have been scared by you, how is this possible? " He asked, as I placed feathers in my backpack.

" Those would be the payment for his attack. " I said, not letting him speak about it.

" Now, you wanted to talk about something? " I asked, placing backpack on my back.

" Yes, I wanted to know about you. how did you... kill... the troll with one kick?" Dumbledore asked, sitting behind his table and calming Fawkes down.

" Oh. It is simple. I am just strong. And for how to get this strength? I'm not going to reveal it " I said, sitting opposite to him, making a chair to creak from my weight.

" What are your goals for coming here? Why did you come here if you are already this strong? " Dumbledore continued his questions, asking pretty straightforward.

" Oh. I am here for the same reason as almost everyone else - to learn magic. " I answered, taking Pepsi Light out of backpack that I placed on the floor, and opening it.

" Would you like to try? " I ask him, showing him a bottle of Pepsi Light.

" What is it? " He asked, looking at the bottle bin my hand.

" This is a drink made by muggles. Extremely tasty. My favourite. You should try. " I said, throwing him a glass bottle.

As He was opening it, he asked.

" Can I trust you? "

" That is a dumb question, you understand that? " I said, looking at him.

" No, it is the question that shows one part of personality. " He said, making first sip from the bottle.

" Tasty isn't it? " I asked, looking at his face.

" Yes... But let's get back to the reason for me calling you here. You shouldn't be killing a living being in such an easy way. Did you have experience? "'He asked, drinking a little more from the bottle.

" Yes. I did, but it doesn't matter, does it? I am here just for you to make sure that I am not dangerous to the kids. Right? " I asked, drinking from my own bottle.

" Yes. I will need you to promise me, or I will have to ask you to leave Hogwarts. " Dumbledore said.

" You don't need to worry. If no one would touch me, I wouldn't touch them. I am here to learn. And that's it " I replied, throwing bottle into the backpack, and taking a box with different drinks out.

" You should try these too. I would recommend adding new food to your menu, it is too old fashioned. " I said, standing up.

" Can I leave? " I asked, pointing to the exit door.

" Yes, but be careful. I will watch you. " He said, flying the box on his table with amusement in his eyes.

After leaving his room, I went back to the bathroom.

Uff. It was difficult, standing and feeling pressure from his magic, while not activating my psi energy.

As I washed my face and went back, I saw Quirrelmort looking for his turban while wearing a hat resembling Ushanka. It covered back side if his head fully.

On the next day, I realized how everyone talked about harry defeated troll, while in reality it was he and Ron.

well, kids love hero stories, especially when a famous hero is in them.

From that day, Dumbledore kept watching me, more intently.

But I didn't care, as I finally found a way to learn faster.

I downloaded almost the whole Library inside the tablet, then connected it to the box's inner computer, then, using installed programs I started optimization process.

This almost AI began reading all the information and grouping it in shorter and better books. Currently, it was removing unnecessary explanations and author's memories.

After all, computer is much better at these things than me.

And while it was restructuring all the books for easier understanding, I continued re-learning physics and chemistry.

Currently, I was learning 8th grade knowledge.

But, as my mind worked better then in my school days, I was moving with insane speed.

One of the reasons for this was inability to modify Probe's program so it would help me more.

As this was the program that was installed in my Probe's body, it had no AI that could learn, but it had insane calculating power.

After a month and a half, almost before the new year eve, I began learning from modified books.

Currently I could cast any first year spell, and many other miscellaneous ones.

I didn't try to learn theory before it was modified, I just began widening my knowledge if spells.

And while it was pretty interesting, I still sometimes took a day off here and there.

I was just enjoying the relaxing days.

Finally, the Christmas arrived, and all the kids were running to get their presents. Well... there were not a lot of people left.

But they were loud.

Leaving to the hall, I saw Quirrelmort. He finally got new turban for himself. Hmm.

Should I try and steal it again?

Initially I wanted to reveal voldy to the world, especially to the Dumbledore.

But after reading some more about rules in magical world, I decided not to bother with all this shit.

The most surprising thing was that Weasley twins were pranking people every day, but not to the scale of being damaging.

Once, they added something to the food, turning everyone's hair orange.

On me, though, it didn't work.

After that, these twins tried pranking me twice.

First time, they used dung bomb on me, that had no chance to explode, as I caught it and threw it back.

Second time, they placed something on my chair. I, obviously didn't fall for it and threw it out of the window, Right at one of the twins who were training on the field.

This resulted in him growing beards from the powder that touched him.

LOL.

After that, they didn't try to prank me yet, so I just enjoyed the peace.

Why did I enjoy it? well. they began pranking me two weeks ago, after the hair situation.

All the time on holidays I spent on learning, as it was the only way to remove my weakness and to be sure of my safety.

psi energy, just like force strength didn't grow much. After all, the only place to train Psi energy would be outside of Hogwarts, but I needed to learn magic fast. I don't want to spend all the seven years in here, especially with all the shit that will happen in couple of years.

Next few months, the only interesting thing that happened, was that Weasley twins approached me for a peace. They got tired of failing to prank me.

And they wanted to understand how did I do it.

This led to the agreement to prank the Quirrell and force him to take turban off.

What? I too wanted to have fun sometimes.

So, on the next day, Quirrelmort had around ten accidents in the hall.

Every time he entered the hall, he would fall down from my force and fall back, smashing his head in different kinds of powder.

First of them was scratching powder, forcing Quirrell to run out of the hall and fall again. On the same powder but from the front now.

In the middle of the day, he fell on to the teacher's table , hitting back of his head with corner.

After that, as he sat on the chair, it broke down and he smashed his head on the wall, blacking out for a second.

After that, he was moved to heal up.

It was embarrassing to look at him trying to evade going there.

Finally, on the last entrance to the hall, He slipped, fell down, and his turban got caught under the chair. As he tried standing up, his had yoinked him back to the floor, making everyone laugh.

Quirrell, on the other hand, was getting frustrated. And he was not laughing. He even forgot to fix his turban that almost fell of from his head..He just left the hall with angry face.

But before he left far enough, I splashed his head with coughing mixture, soaking turban in it.

How could I do it unnoticed? Force. No one could feel force, unlike psi energy.

For some reason, force was invisible to everything.

You might ask. What has he done to deserve such a torture? Well. he made me write a lot more homework after I commented that he should go to the healer and heal his voice.

He got offended and literally forced me to write double the amount.

For this petty man I used computer and ordered it to write my homework in such a way that it would take him hour to look through, at the very least.

After few days, I stopped, as he began taking points from Hufflepuff just because I gave him more work.

So, this is it.

A little revenge.

Well, back to me.

I think that in a few days Quirrelmort will try and steal the stone.

I didn't even think to try to get it. I see no reason. I have infinite lifespan. I don't need the gold. I have enough galleons.

In this year I completed two years of learning and a bit. I wouldn't say that I could immediately learn anything, but my memory allowed me to not read anything twice.

Also, when I began third year's course, I saw that all the basics are over. From that point courses began teaching some more direct things. Less theory, more spells.

As for potions, I had knowledge, but almost no practice.

And I was not really interested in them.

They required a lot of patience. A lot.

And I really don't have more than I already use.

As the final deciding battle of the year is approaching, I decided to include myself in it.

Why? I was bored. Pranks are good and all, but they can't compare to computer games.

Or books.

And I wanted to see how strong voldy is. I am sure that it would be fun. So, after thinking, I decided to wait at the fluffy's room.

As I didn't really know the exact day of their attack, I decided to visit him every day.

As I entered, Fluffy began waking up. As he saw me, he rushed to bite my head off. But, it wouldn't be so easy. I activated my psi constructs, and used my hand and psi hands to stop his heads just by pushing at his noses.

And hell, he was loud. He tried to struggle, but As I pushed him back, and used my psi energy to hold on to his heads, his barking began transforming into whimper.

" Oh, sorry. I didn't want to hurt you. " I said, lowering psi output, decreasing the pressure at the holding points.

" Calm down already. I am not here to go down this hole. I just wanted to look at you " I said, getting irritated because of his loud voice.

But he didn't stop, until I pushed him into the wall, lifting his body in the way that he was uncomfortable.

Releasing hands a little, I said:

" Don't attack. And I won't hurt you... Understand? "

Recieving a little nod from one of the heads I released it, being ready for retaliation.

And I was right. Fluffy tried to struggle.

After some time, and a failed attempt at calming him down, I left the room for today.

And as I still had to wait for trio of idiots who wanted to fight the great dark lord while being eleven, I stood at the door, with invisibility activated.

Yep. it was one of necessary things in my storage.

Currently, I was looking at a timer that would let me transfer back to the leviathan, and it would take two more years to get there.

I would need to find a place where I could safely store all my valuables.

And as I had nothing else to do, I decided to take out my wand and cast some spells. Just to spend time. And I didn't have to worry about being noticed. I would hear anything getting close enough.

After couple of spells, after one of the excessive swings of hand, wand slipped out of my hand and fell down on the floor with heavy *Thud* sound.

Oh? It is heavy? lets see.

I picked it up, but as I was extremely strong, for me it was just a stick with strange look. To check the weight, I would need something to compare it to, so I began taking things out of my storage and proceeded to compare them.

After many things, I came to the conclusion that this wand was at least hundred kg in weight.

I don't know how ollivander even lifted it. Maybe container was enchanted? I don't know.

But now I know that it would be interesting to see someone try to take it from me.

Hah.

Well, after that, for few days I tried to befriend Fluffy, even bringing him a lot of tasty meat, but he was still careful around me. At least, he was not attacking me at first signs of me getting close.

And in this way, week passed. And today I reached my secondary goal. I finally could pat his heads with him not trying to bite mine off.

Yes!

His fur is surprisingly smooth and soft. One time I even met Hagrid leaving the room. And after coming in, I saw a huge pile of meat left there.

Yes, Hagrid even brushed him. Now he looks like big house dog with three heads. Well. Very big house dog with three heads.

After another three days, I finally heard them. The incoming trio.

" Fluffy. guard the hole with your body. I will back out a little bit " I said, moving away and allowing him to lay down on to the entrance.

" Hi there " I said to the invisible trio. They should hide the sound they create while walking.

" What are you doing in here?" Shouted the always loud Granger.

" Me? I am playing with this little boy. " I say, turning to Fluffy and rubbing his chin "Right?" I asked him, at which he just licked my face.

" And what you three are doing in here? " I asked them, as they left the invisibility. At that moment two of three heads looked at them warily, while third enjoyed rubs.

" We are here to stop Snape from stealing the... " Ron answered, before Hermione stopped him from finishing.

" We need to stop Snape. He is trying to steal something important " Hermione said, continuing with :

" And why are you here past the curfew ? " She asked in serious tone.

" Haha. Girl. I might not be the smartest person in the world, but I definitely can see that you are trying to evade the topic of what this redhead almost slipped. What Snape is trying to steal in your opinion? " I asked, not forgetting to add : " And shouldn't you introduce yourselves? I am Anton Popov "

" Harry Potter "

" Ron Weasley "

" Hermione Granger. Pronounced HER- MIE-NI "

All of them said after looking at each other, while Hermione pointed out how her name should be pronounced.

" Nice to meet you. So, what is it that he tries to steal? " I asked, as fluffy still glared at them.

As they looked at each other and nodded, Harry answered, and after that, they used music to put Fluffy to sleep.

" And why did you do this? " I asked, continuing : " He is now sleeping on the door... " I said.

" Oh no! " Hermione said.

" What now? " Ron shouted with his always irritating voice.

" Well. we could move him? " I said, as I will join them.

" And how do you think we could move something so heavy? " Hermione asked, glaring at me.

" Hey. girl. don't glare at me like that. " I said, standing in front if fluffy.

" As for how? " I asked, and began pushing him while saying " Just... like... that... " I finished, turning around and seeing them with open mouth.
