Yeah, that’s definitely the point: sometimes magic can be hard to control at times.

(To be fair on Harry’s part, he had struggles with some of the subjects in Hogwarts, especially with Potions when Snape was being harsh on him most of the time and trying to get through History of Magic without getting bored from Binns’ slowness.)

Back home, we can get magic through various means: sometimes through bloodlines and sometimes bloodlines don’t even matter as some witches and wizards can come from normal families, but regardless of how we get our magic from, it can be uncontrollable at times, especially when we are kids.

That’s where magic schools come into play: they teach us how to manage our powers and magic. Mine was at the Scottish Highlands for example and it’s among the best wizarding schools in my world. I will admit that most of our magic tends to rely on incantations and wands a lot.

[fooligans]

A wand, huh. Maybe I should get one.

[ He doubts that it would help him get better at using his magic powers, but it might be fun to try it nonetheless. ]

I feel like a kid when I have to transform into an animal, honestly. Any funny stories from your childhood?

[ He has a few stories up his sleeve, especially those connected with learning fire magic. ]

[phoenixwiz]

I have two wands with me when I came here, but I doubt if they can be of any use in Avalon right now.

(He did attempted to use them in the first couple of weeks but then it didn’t work as intended, so he didn’t bother to use them until everything has been restored.

When Akira asked him for any stories he had from childhood, it kinda scared him a bit since he didn’t want to give anyone here trauma from how his aunt and uncle treated him over the years but he does have a good funny story he has in mind.)

Well, when I was 11, I accidentally made a glass pane of a snake enclosure vanish and my cousin fell into the water in there while he was trying to mess with a snake. And said snake decided to get out of the zoo he was in.

[fooligans]

Here I thought I found an easy way out.

[ He'd get ten wands if it had any effect, alas. Hitting the books and practicing remain the most reliable ways of learning, even in a magical world such as this one.

If only Akira knew how terrible Harry's childhood was... ]

That's intense. The snake didn't get back at him, I hope.

[ This is what you get for messing with snakes. ]

[phoenixwiz]

Yeah, I have almost given up on trying to make the wands I have work in here by now. Sorry if I had to break it to you, Akira.

Don’t worry, the snake didn’t harm him at all. He just missed his original home in Brazil so much and had wanted to get back to the country from the zoo, that’s all.

[fooligans]

It's okay. If there was an easy way out, that would be way too convenient.

[ He feels bad for the snake, though. ]

So you kind of had something similar to animal magic back home?

[ Since he could understand the snake... ]

[phoenixwiz]

Well, it exists in my world, sort of, but it’s apparently split into various branches.

Being an Animagus allows you to turn into animals, I have known of some people who can do that. Meanwhile, there is actually an ability to talk to snakes and that is very uncommon in my world. I once had it due to some weird incident in my life before, which explains how I was able to understand the snake in the zoo, but not anymore.

[fooligans]

Sorry for asking so many questions, by the way.

[ He's been doing that for a while, hasn't he? ]

Your world sounds really interesting. It's fun to learn about other worlds...after getting used to the idea that there are more of them around. In comparison, mine is pretty boring.

[phoenixwiz]

Oh no, that’s totally fine. I am more than happy to talk about it freely in here than at home; there are plenty of rules to follow in my world to avoid getting in trouble among normal people. I nearly got expelled from my school just because I used a spell to protect myself and my cousin from getting the Dementor’s Kiss at 15.

(Harry is starting to notice a trend of withholding most of his personal life out of concern for his Avalon friends and being more open to discuss magic in Avalon the longer he stays in the world, how weird.

Surely, this would have gotten him in trouble with the International Statute of Secrecy, but since Avalon has a lot of magic ongoing with modern day stuff mixed in, there is no point in hiding that from others for long.)

Same here, I never went outside of the UK before coming to this place and I didn’t expect to learn about other worlds upon arrival as well. So what is your world like, if I’m crazy enough to ask?

[fooligans]

Dementor's Kiss doesn't sound like a kiss you'd like to get...

[ Especially, if it was supposed to be the first kiss. ]

We don't have magic, unfortunately. It's pretty normal, actually...but there's this group called the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. They're stealing the hearts of people who are known for their wrongdoings. That's as close to magic as you can get in my world, I think. Unless there's something I don't know.

[phoenixwiz]

I agree, those kisses are not like regular kisses from anyone: They suck away any happiness you have and possibly one’s life too. Dementors are the life and happiness suckers back in my world.

Hm, so the Phantom Thieves are the only ones with some sort of magic in your world? That is really intriguing, never heard of them before.

[fooligans]

I hope these Dementor guys won't experience their first kiss ever.

[ He might be joking about it a little, but all things considered, having one's life force and happiness sucked away sounds terrifying. ]

I think they were popular outside Japan for a while, but I'm not sure for how long and how far did they fame spread. Either way, their skills were different from the magics we got here...I think.

[ Akira almost forgot to add that "I think". ]

[phoenixwiz]

That’s really intriguing, Akira. I didn’t know that they have such a reputation that would reach to other parts of your world. I wonder how their skills must have function back home.

Do they casts spells to change their targets’ hearts or maybe it was something different?
