HP: A Sociopath Gamer In Magic World [ Chapter 119: Atlas Power Converter! ] (Patreon)

If you look at it one way, I had just effectively solved the world's future energy crisis.

[Atlas Power Converter- Rank: Special

Description: A two-foot-tall statue of the Titan Atlas made entirely out of bronze holding a crystal globe on his shoulders. A device that converts thought power into electrical energy in a wide field. Its magical origin allows it to work even in magically saturated environments.

Effect: Electronic devices in a 100 ft radius will work normally and receive a constant charge of energy even if not plugged into anything.]

I had no idea what effect this would have on the world once it was released, but I was curious to find out.

Padma:-

With a final stab of her quill Padma released a content sigh, "Ahh, I'm finally done."

Massaging her wrist, she stood up from her desk and flopped down on her bed face first.

Reaching under her pillow she took out a rectangular object. It was the mirror that Charles had given them to stay in touch.

She turned it on and looked through her list of contact numbers until she found the one labeled Lisa Turnip.

Pressing on the name like she was taught she waited for the call to connect.

Lisa must have been near her mirror as it didn't take very long, the empty black screen being replaced with that of her fellow Ravenclaw.

"Oh hey, Padma, I was just thinking of calling you!" her friend exclaimed with a bright smile.

"Funny coincidence, I was just checking up on you to see how your summer homework was going," she said innocently, the need to brag rising inside her.

"Oh? I finished it yesterday with Michael. Turns out we live close to each other. Why? Do you need help?" she asked with a teasing smirk.

Feeling the wind knocked out of her sails she snorted, "No, I finished just now. Just wanted to see if you had made any plans this summer. It'd be great if we could all meet up."

"That doesn't sound like a bad idea actually," the blonde-haired girl said tilting her head as if in thought before smiling, "Oh, I know! Didn't Charles say he was going to participate in a dueling competition this summe?. We could all go and cheer for him."

Padma mulled it over before nodding, "Yeah, and then he can take us on a tour of Muggle London. I've been wanting to see what one of those movie theaters he talks about are like."

"Oh! And I want to go see some Muggle clothing stores!"

"Sounds like a plan."

"I'll start calling the others then," Lisa said excitedly.

Hampstead:-

"Haha! So, her hair started to fall out just like that?" I said looking over at the small witch who looked equal part embarrassed and proud at the same time.

"Don't laugh, I felt so guilty afterwards… even if she did deserve it for sticking gum in my hair," she finished, hiding a smug smile behind an ice-cream cone.

Seeing as we were able to finish our summer homework earlier than expected, I proposed we go out for ice-cream to celebrate.

She seemed reluctant at first, probably thinking I didn't have much money, but I told her it was fine as I did small jobs during the summer to make some extra cash.

We were currently trading stories of our experiences with accidental magic growing up, made-up in my case.

Taking a bite from my cone I gave her a smirk, "Okay, I got one, but you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone."

"Sure," she said, gaining a glint of excitement in her eyes at being included in a private secret.

"Alright, so I was six. At that point I was just learning how to read with the other kids, so Ms. Emily decided it would be a good idea to take us to the public library." Stopping to make sure I had her attention I continued, "So as I walked into the giant building, I couldn't help but be mesmerized by how new and clean everything was. I was so distracted I didn't notice until I bumped into a cardboard cut-out of a large black and white cat with a red and white striped hat."

"So then what happened?"

"Well I was so scared I would get in trouble I wished with all my heart for it to just disappear," I said in an embarrassed tone.

"So did it?" Hermione asked.

I gave a so-so sign, "In a way. What ended up happening was that cardboard cut out turned into an actual cat with a hat. Thankfully nobody was watching me, but the librarians had a hard time catching it afterwards. It scratched some of the furniture and broke at least two lamps before they were finally able to trap it in the supply room. Only when they opened it, they found the cutout laying innocently on the floor."

That did it as the smaller girl started to giggle uncontrollably.

I smiled pleasantly until I felt something vibrate in my back pocket.

Reaching a hand, I took out the two-way mirror and checked who was calling me.

Hermione momentarily stopped her laughing to ask, "What's that?"

"Oh, it's just something to help me stay in touch with my housemates. It works similar to a phone," I explained.

"I didn't know wizards had something like that," she said, sounding honestly shocked.

"They don't, I made it myself," I added proudly. Her eyes widened in surprise, but I didn't give her a chance to ask any more questions as I answered the call, "Hey Terry, how's it going?"

The image of the Ravenclaw was crystal clear though a bit too close to the screen, "Charles, me and the others were planning a get together during the summer, whatcha think?"

"Oh, sounds fun, I would be happy to go. Just tell me when and where, so I can ask my caretakers for permission first," I replied.
