Chapter 12 - Metamorph magus

Caesar didn't return to the dorm after the classes, instead he came to the room of requirement. He asked for where he can stay without being disturbed and walk back and forth for 3 times. As he did, there a door appeared on the wall. He pushed it open and saw a clean room with a bed, some shelves, a fire place that is burning, with sofas on a side of the room. There is a coffee table in front of him.

As Caesar settled on the bed he said in his mind," use the metamorphmagus awakening card ", Caesar felt a strong itch crawling under his skin, there are no impurities or wastes or anything just an itching sensation, a weird feeling that your body is shifting and a slight ting of pain that is giving him another headache. As the itching sensation vanished, a strange feeling appeared in Caesar like he can turn into others. This is a completely awakened, metamorphmagus ability. The ability to change your body at will. Although he can't turn into animals completely, at most he will be like a giant animal with a kid's height if he transformed now and it won't do any good with that. 

But he can transform into anyone else, even the professors, he can manipulate his height temporarily until he change back to his form. As Caesar willed he transformed into Harry Potter, then he turned into Cassandra, then to Daphne, then to Tracey but then he felt a weird sensation down there and was stunned. He really turned into a girl and completely at that. He cancelled and his own form appeared and it also grew back. 

( Author's note : Just a joke. Ignore my lack of sense of humour if you don't like it ).

' okay enough playing around. Time for the real test. He transformed into one of the professors. Snape in particular, and he felt it's a perfect copy except his smile. In Snape's from it didn't look fine at all. It's like a horror comedy show, very not pleasant to watch. As Caesar returned to his form, he wore his clothes that he took off as a precaution in case there is any situation mentioned in many fanfics. Instead there are none. 

As he returned to ravenclaw common room, he suddenly has an idea. Why can't he trasnform into professors to roam at night? Hogwarts is a place with many mysteries and he has a mission telling him to explore the castle and everything that belongs to Hogwarts.

As soon as the idea appeared, Caesar calmed down for now. He is already exhausted today, let's think about it later. As he entered the room, the three of them teased him," I heard that certain someone talk to ice princess through notes in library ", Michael said.

" Yeah, and they are in their own world that even the giggles of some students or the glares from madam pince went unnoticed ", Anthony chimed. " Apparently, there is a new rumour going on about a young couple who fall in love at a very young age ", Terry said.

Caesar blinked and said," it's not what you think. She is just concerned about me ", Anthony whistled," yeah, she so concerned about that she threatened anyone who entered 1 meter proximity around you with her death glares ".

" Or the fact she only responds to you normally while looking at everyone with disadain and arrogance ", Terry said. " Or maybe the fact that she passing notes and didn't even care about the rumours going on in Hogwarts ", Michael said.

" They're just rumours. She is just kind to me. Give it a few months and she will start to ignore me ", Caesar said. The other three looked at each other, remembering the gaze Cassandra is giving to Caesar, they looked at him with a sigh.

" Told you he will say that ", " yeah, leaveit at that ", " I suddenly started to feel pity for someone ", the three of them whispered to each other. As for Caesar, he slept as soon as he climbed on the bed. The next day when Caesar woke up, they go to the class history of magic together with other houses.

As Caesar sat with three of them. Cassandra approached the table and in the next second the three walked out to the front bench while giving a wink to Caesar. As Cassandra sat there, Daphne and Tracey also appeared soon.

Ron saw this and said to Harry," see that guy, he is associating with those evil snakes. Even his housemates abandoned him and avoided him like a plague ", Harry turned to Caesar but noticing nothing wrong there and seeing no disgust or anything from Ravenclaw he felt maybe it isn't true.

On other hand, Hermione looked at this scene with disdain. In her eyes, she saw a philanderer and decided to avoid him in future. Meanwhile only Ravenclaws looked at Caesar with different eyes. Some first years started whistling while others winked and cheered at Caesar who looked confused.

' what happened to them? ', Caesar dispelled his useless thoughts and focussed on runes instead he borrowed from library yesterday. Madam Pince have him a cold glance yesterday for now reason. ' Maybe she hates first years since they can't properly take care of their books. It's possible ', Caesar nodded at his conclusion.

He is trying to combine the runes and fuinjutsu. And it worked like a wonder, so he spent most of his time even breaks too, to combine them both in a proper way. As a result he created magic circles in fantasy mage stories and fairy tales.

Although the magic circle is a little unstable, it proved to be effective compared to fuinjutsu knowledge that demands more mana compared to normal spells. Daphne asked him about the progress. And she is looking anxious. ' maybe the blood curse surfaced again. I need to speed up the research to create a jinchuriki type that can trap conditions like this obscurus and blood curse '.

Both of them are conditions of magic illness types with lot of negative emotions. Obscurus appeared when the negative emotions of host became more and more and they suppress magic. When combined a parasitic obscurus will be generated that constantly fights with the host. In other words, it's an aggressive alter ego that can only show aggression and kill it's host.

As for blood curse he read about this thing. Their bloodline is cursed to bear the resentment and residual soul fragments that like obscurus parasites on not only the magic but also the life force. In a way this a slow poison, compared to obscurus that attacks it's host aggressively and consumed them whole, blood curse has many other conditions like the residual resentment present in their bloodline and residual soul power that parasites on the life force.

In a way, obscurus squeezes it's host magic dry to strengthen itself while internally damaging it's host but blood malediction is a slow parasite that feeds on the magic and life slowly. It didn't directly attack like obscurus instead it'll increase it's consumption of mana and life force and increase the absorption rate gradually until they die.
