Chapter 52 - Chapter 76

"What was that like?" Harry asked curiously. "Being trapped inside time itself?"

"It's indescribable, forever watching the events of the world unfold, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I tried many times to break out, appearing as a ghost to some who saw me, but I never could manage it. Not until that day when I felt a huge magical power surge. Knowing it may be my only chance, as you know I tapped into that surge to break myself free," Morgan explained.

"You've led a tough life. I can't believe Merlin would actually hunt his fellow witches and wizards. In my world, we hold him in great prestige," Harry said.

"He was a great sorcerer, make no mistake about that. However, his solution to our problems was to submit ourselves to service even when we didn't like the things they would want us to do. Our people don't like being servants. We believe in the rights and freedom of individuals to use their own magic how they please. Merlin wanted us to become servants for the rich and powerful. He didn't seem to respect our cultures or our ways of life. You could say that because of Merlin the Witch Hunts started. I don't like the idea of greedy pigs benefiting off our work. Our people aren't meant to be controlled or contained; we're meant to be free with the ability to choose our own path and ways. That's what magic is supposed to be used for," Morgan said as she walked down the stairs. She opened a door at the bottom and they walked in.

"What are you up to?" Harry asked.

"You've been, for some time, able to cast wandless magic, correct?" Morgan asked

"Yeah," Harry said as he recalled several times that he was able to use magic without a wand.

"From what I've been able to observe, you have no trouble with spell casting. However, it seems your kind was never meant to cast wandlessly. Every time you do use magic wandlessly, you are wasting about three times more magic than you would with a wand. You tire yourself faster than you would with a wand. Just from what I've seen in your memories during the Battle of New York, you depleted yourself of magic faster than you could rejuvenate magic."

"Is there a way to fix that?" Harry asked in a worried tone. Morgan smiled.

"One thing that will help your magic grow is exercise, running in particular. The more you run, the more you're magic will grow. Mediation as well. Your body needs to be both active, yet calm. To recover magic, you need to rest. In some cases, a good night's rest will help you with a speedy recovery, while another way is to just not do anything for a while in order to allow your body to recover." Morgan stopped as she turned to look at him. "You have a remarkably fast rejuvenation where your magic is recovered with a simple good night's rest. Most unusual. I suspect it is because of the Horcrux that laid dormant within you for so long had a side effect on your magic. I also suspect one reason you've been able to throw off the Imperius Curse is because of the Horcrux, one of the vilest and darkest types of magic that ever existed. Its presence unintentionally allowed your body, mind, and magic to become highly resistant to dark magic."

"So, it has nothing to do with me," Harry said, sounding somewhat disappointed yet relieved.

"Don't sell yourself out so easily. There is one aspect about you I haven't told you yet. It's perhaps your greatest strength and most dangerous weakness," Morgan said dramatically.

"What's that?" Harry asked.

"You have an indomitable will," Morgan said simply. "Once you set yourself on a path, you cannot be reasoned with or bullied. You will do anything once you put your mind to it. This makes you dangerous, more so than any other person on the planet, whether from this world or your own. This is why spells like the Imperius Curse and other mind-altering spells and substances have no hold over you. You're impossible to persuade or be blackmailed. This makes you dangerous. Many in the world, including the world leaders, will not like that you won't listen to them. Eventually, the day will come when you'll become an enemy of the world. Fortunately, we can take steps to ensure that they can't touch you. Because, unlike you, their wills can be broken once we put their lives on the line. Once they realize their lives are in danger, they will falter and break. They will agree to any demands we give them. Especially if they care about public image as much as Stark does."

"Shouldn't we tell the team then?" Harry asked.

"I'd rather wait and see who supports the United Nations proposal and who is against it. Then we'll know who we can trust and who we can't." Morgan said.

Harry shook his head to clear it. "I wish Dumbledore had told me this."
