HP: A Sociopath Gamer In Magic World [ Chapter 120: Magic Knight! ] (Patreon)

"Actually, we were thinking of going to watch you fight in the dueling tournament. You're still planning on entering right?"

"Yes. I'll be going to the Ministry tomorrow with Professor Flitwick to finish registering, but the actual tournament isn't going to be until about a month from now though."

"Perfect, I'm visiting family outside of the country so I should be back by then."

"That explains the blue sky and sandy beach in the background."

"Oh, I have to go. I'll talk to you later."

"Bye," I said, ending the call.

Hermione was looking at me, eyes brimming with questions.

Smirking, I put the mirror away, "I can tell you're curious, don't suppose you feel up to discussing magical theory?"

Her face immediately lit up.

-----------

The talk ended up lasting longer than I thought, mostly because I had to explain more of the obscure theories for her to understand, and even then, she only got about half of what I said.

I wouldn't be surprised if she started to research magical theory in her spare time.

Checking the time I saw that it was a little past nine.

'Alright, now should be as good a time as any,' I thought as a brief flash of light washed over my form, replacing my normal clothes for armor.

This was thanks to the [Magic Knight] title I received after beating the Death Knight.

[Magic Knight: For King and Country! As someone who's proficient in the use of magic and weapons in the battlefield you have become a force to be reckoned with.

I walked over to the newly installed vanishing cabinet in the corner of my room.

Its twin was currently in the Room of Requirements, where I had placed it before leaving school.

Taking out the Invisibility Cloak, I draped it over myself and got inside the cabinet. I closed the door, momentarily plunging the place into complete darkness, before opening it again. The small bedroom was replaced with a familiar lounge room that I had come to associate with the Room or Requirements.

Hermes and Jinx, who were waiting patiently by the fireplace, turned to face me.

I pulled back the hood, revealing my face.

"Seeing as you are here relaxing, I take it you've found him already," I said with an expectant look.

"I was the one who found him!" Jinx stated excitedly, momentarily transforming into a tendril of grey smoke that settled on my shoulders before reverting back.

The small hell spirit rubbed her face against mine as I scratched her chin.

Sneaking out of the castle was easier than ever now that everyone was away, even the teachers. The only people still in the castle were the House Elves and Hagrid who were in charge of caring for it.

In no time we had made it to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

'I'll lead us from here,' Hermes declared before flying ahead.

After a few minutes of walking I received a message.

[You have found a new dungeon: Forbidden Forest]

[You are unable to enter the dungeon.]

Checking my mini-map, I saw that the entrance of the new dungeon was already added, meaning I wouldn't have to wonder around next time I was looking for it.

So far, I had found a total of seven dungeons including this one meaning there were still eight more according to the [Quest: Hogwarts' Conqueror].

The Zombie Dungeon, The Plant Dungeon, The Underwater Dungeon, The Mirror Dungeon, The Train Dungeon, and The Forbidden Forest Dungeon. Only the last two were inaccessible to me.

After venturing further into the heart of the forest I finally found my target slumbering peacefully in a clearing.

'Hmm, he seems to have lost a bit of weight. Not surprising as his rather large frame would alert most prey.'

Taking a stick off the ground I broke it in half, alerting my presence to the gigantic three-headed dog.

Its time in the forest must have been harder than I thought as it immediately went alert, growling menacingly and getting in a crouching position ready to pounce.

Pulling back the hood I allowed it to get good look at me.

The heads immediately stopped their growling, but I could still see distrust in its eyes.

"I'm glad your time in theses woods have managed to spark that wild side," I praised him before reaching into my inventory and taking out an entire cow carcass. I could see it eyeing the large slab of meat hungrily, so I obliged by kicking it at its feet, "Enjoy."

It did not waste any time as it devoured the dead cow, using its powerful jaws to crush bone and tear its limbs apart.

[Increased Affection with Fluffy.]

[Increased Affection with Fluffy.]

[Increased Affection with Fluffy.]

Looking at the rapidly rising affection meter, I took out another cow and tossed it to the giant dog who made short work of it.

Once he finished eating the last of the cow, he became completely docile, sitting on its hunches wagging its tail from side to side.

Walking forward toward him, I placed a hand on its fur, which was filthy and unkept from rolling around the forest floor.

Looking up at him I gave a small smile, "I think you've spent enough time in this place, so why don't you come with me?"

It looked confused at my words but it wasn't as if it could understand anyways.

[Do you wish to turn Fluffy into your pet? Yes/ No]

A large magic circle appeared under us as I felt a connection form between us.

[Taming is successful. Fluffy is now your pet.]

It laid its heads down on the ground in a show of servitude.
