After leaving Dumbledore's office Liam was confused about his origin. Both Prof. Snape and Dumbledore knows something he doesn't. There are mysteries in his body that he doesn't know about. He vaguely remembered the voice in his head which was trying to take control of his body as well as the spell he was going to cast was not he had any prior knowledge of.
His wand, the white lady at the lake, him being sorted in Slytherin, the voice and losing control of his body, and now Dumbledore's way of talking. Liam had noticed a lot of things which does not happen to normal people.
This was time for him to give this matter a priority.
'Maybe I should talk with Michael about this.'
There was still some before his flying lesson so he wanted to try out if his magic actually works before going attend his class.
He went back to his room, Dumbledore said that he will not have any more problems so he had great expectations.
He excitedly took out the needle from his pocket and placed it on his table. Held his wand in his hands and chanted "Vertere Anulus" along with the waves he had practiced thousands of time. Perfectly casting the spell, the needle on his table floated slightly and curved it got flatter and then converted in a ring shape.
Liam kept looking at the ring on the table, "I did it" He shouted with joy. "I did it, I am actually a wizard."
Liam felt the joy he had never felt before his heart was beating faster, he wanted to do more magic. But unfortunately he was out of time. He had to prepare for his Flying lesson.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Liam got ready for the class he had worn his uniform and had taken his broom with him. Just near the entrance to the outside he saw Michael, he waved his hands and called out to him.
Michael noticing that Liam and ran towards Liam with his broom in his hands, "Are you ready for the best time of your life? Flying in the sky, I dreamt of flying with my broom. I wanted to try flying on a broom but my mother didn't allow it she said I would only be allowed to fly on a broom once I learned it in school.
I was so mad at her why are we so bound by things such as school I would have been able to learn much faster if I wasn't bound by school. I have already completely read and understood the first year curricular, but I am not allowed to read the second year books. This is really unfair."
Michael showed his frustration on the school. Liam also had the same thoughts on the matter as he also had finished reading and completely understood the basics, but as he knew that just knowing the theory isn't everything also the knowledge in those books isn't completely correct as magic hasn't been actually studied properly he knew that those concepts which they have learned are not something on which they can base their practice of magic.
"Don't be impatient, what you think you may know may not be what the reality is. I have also learned all the theory of the first year books instead of rushing why not just wait a while and hone your practical skills. Anyway, my magic problem has been solved. Now I can actually cast spells." Liam told Michael with a very happy and excited smile on his face.
Michael smiled he felt happy for Liam, "You know what I think you are right, maybe I am rushing too much. Hey now that your problem has been solved why don't we ask Cedric to give us some pointers on our wand movements and maybe we can have him teach us few spells as well."
"That sounds like a great idea. I am all up for it. But where are we going to practice magic. Do you have a place in mind?" Asked Liam.
Michael looked towards Liam like looking at an idiot, "Well isn't that obvious."
Liam understood where they will be practicing. And he thought that the lake side would be a great place to practice some defense spells as well. Liam was very anxious about being in the presence of Voldemort. He knows what kind of threat Voldemort is and knowing that he doesn't have the crazy luck which harry has he has to be strong enough to at least protect himself.
He was also paranoid because he had heard Quirrell was there when he was in the infirmary. He vaguely remembered someone saying that "Prof. Quirrell what are you doing here." The experience he had, losing control of his body a voice telling him to kill and the unknown dark spell he was about to use, Liam thought that it may have something to do with the dark lord. Dumbledore had already shunned him. All he had was this lead. For this reason he needed the strength even more.
"Let go after all our lectures are over for today." Liam said with a gleam of hope and excitement in his eyes.
Prof. Hooch shouted loudly from the back, "Get into two lines maintaining a significant distance form one another I don't want anyone flying without my permission if you get hurt you will be responsible for your own actions."
The little wizards perfectly lined up in two lines facing each other.
"Now lay your brooms on the ground on your right side."
Following the order, the little wizards dropped their brooms onto their right side.
"Good now you have to make the broom come to your hand, hover your hand above your broom and say up… "
.
.
.
The events proceeded as they should have, Neville lost control of his broom and had to be taken to infirmary. Malfoy took away Neville's remembrall ball. Harry chasing Malfoy to get back Neville's ball. And him getting taken by Prof. McGonagall and being selected as the youngest seeker.
All this had nothing to do with Liam, all he cared about was his own performance, for some reason he didn't even need to say up to call his broom to his hands he just hovered his hands and the broom came to his hands.
Michael praised his talent even suggesting he should try out for the quidditch team next year. But Liam had no intention of joining the quidditch team.
Hermione came to him after the class, "How did you do it?" asked Hermione in a haughty manner.
"Did what?" he smiled teasing Hermione a little bit.
"The broom came to your hands but you didn't even say 'Up'. How is that possible, you weren't even able to cast a simple spell and now you seem like a very talented wizard. I don't understand you." She was took out all her frustration onto Liam.
Michael was a bit angry he thought 'who is this strange girl?' coming out of nowhere and shouting on his friend. He had never seen such a brazen girl before.
"Ms. Granger you need to calm down, tell me what happened. Who is bullying you? You know you can tell me anything right." Liam asked, showing that he was worried about her.
Hermione was caught off guard 'how did he know that I was being bullied.' But she remembered that Liam was himself getting bullied, "No one is bullying me. And stop calling me Ms. Granger call me by my name. You should worry about yourself first before helping others." She left in a hurry without looking back.
Michael who was very confused with the attitude of Hermione said in deep confusion, "What's her problem?"
At this comment Liam just laughed, "Let's not waste any more time we need to attend our next lecture as well."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The last class was defense against the dark arts, Liam was very skeptical of the class. He didn't want to attend the class. His reasons were very different than Michael's reasons. Michael's reasons were derived from Quirrell being an incompetent teacher.
While on their way to the class they heard many students discussing, "Why hasn't Dumbledore had Quirrell be kicked out of the school, he is very bad teacher. All he does is read the text books without teaching any practical knowledge. I am tired of listening him read, he can't even speak properly."
Michael also had the same thoughts on the matter but he was a bit accepting of Quirrell as he know what had happened to Quirrell before he was made into a defense against the dark arts teacher.
All the little wizards had taken their seats, they had already heard many students criticize Quirrell's class, even thought they had heard so many bad things about Quirrels class they were grateful as if it was not for Quirrell it would have been Snape teaching them this course. Which would have been much worse as they would have to hear Snape's constant nagging.
Quirrell entered the room with unusual manner, unlike the walk of fear he usually walked like, he had a strange confidence in his walk. The students were a bit shocked to see this but they didn't care much.
Quirrell walked to the podium, "Today is your first class so let's talk about some basic stuff. Can anyone tell me, what's the most important thing for a wizard?"
The little wizards were shocked to see Quirrell acting so different, he was actually engaging in with the class. This had never happened before. The little wizards were a bit relieved as they wouldn't have to listen to boring reading sessions.
Hermione got up and answered, "A wand, a wizard needs his wand the most."
Quirrell smiled, "Right Ms. Granger a wand is the most important thing for a wizard. In history there have been many wizards who didn't need to use wands but the sad truth of today is that there aren't many wizards today that can cast a spell without a wand, but there do exist wizards who can use simple spells without a chant. We call it chant less spell. Chant less casting can only be done when you reach a certain level of proficiency with that certain spell or have an exceptional talent in magic. As for wand less casting just forget about it. There hasn't been anyone who has ever pulled it off."
Quirrell adjusted his turban, "Getting back to our main topic, Wands." he patted his clothes and seemed to look for something in his robe, "Oh it seems I have forgotten to bring my wand."
He looked towards Liam, "Mr. Gremory why don't you lend me your Wand?"
