Chapter 4: Illvermony or Hogwarts
The next few months passed in a flash. In the summer holidays two persons appeared in the manor. The guards around the manor trusted their nonsense of it's for the safety of Thomas. Tony who is sleeping with a model in his room also woke up as a servant informed him about this.
Th se two persons are really weird. Thomas recognised the one with less height as Filius Flitwick and the other one he don't know. As Tony walked in, he saw the two strange men and asked," well I find your dressing sense quite unique and weird. Who are you again? The maid didn't say anything about you or your names ".
Fillius stood up first and said," Mr Stark, I'm Filius Flitwick from the magical britain, I'm a professor in Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. I'm here because your brother's name appeared in our book of admission and to also inform of Mr Thomas and also you that he is a wizard ".
The other man also stood up and said," Hello Mr stark, I'm Albert Fontaine. I'm a professor in Illvermony school of witchcraft and wizardry. I'm also here for the same purpose. Illvermony is the best magic school you can find in the world, I can assure you and it's in United States itself, but as per the secrecy law we can't reveal the location of the school ".
Flitwick on side sneered and said," best magic school you say. What's your school is best in? Do you have the most powerful wizard alive as the headmaster or do you have a history and legacy spanning for 1000's of years or do you have connections international wizarding community built by the sorcerers all around the world or do you have the support of the council of wizards? Your school is only established by the descendants of Slytherin who is one of our founders. And even then they stole the legacy from Britain and did it. Saying best school when you can't provide best magic and assistantance is ridiculous ".
Tony on the side looked confused and asked," if you two con artists are here just for money or playing pranks. You two can leave ", Flitwick and Fontaine looked at Tony and after some explanation and demonstrayion Tony asked," so there is magic in this world along withany hidden things. How did you guys hide so well? We can't even detect you?".
Thomas on side raised his hand and asked," I have a question. Are there any other races in Hogwarts or Illvermony like elves, dragons, demons, or others like in fairy tales and myths ", Flitwick expression changed as he said," I think it's better if we don't dwell too much for now Mr stark. There are indeed other races, you'll know when you joined the wizarding world community ".
Thomas shrugged while they started arguing again. Tony is in deep thought and looked at Thomas a little worried. He stopped these two and asked," ok stop. You two are making me dizzy. Tell me the benefits and advantages of each school. We will decide which to join then ".
Flitwick then said," we have have a huge legacy and assistance. A library spanning for many centuries filled knowledge along with the best professors ", Fontaine also sad not to be undone," Illvermony is affiliated and funded MACUSA. Our students has easier chance to get connections in the wizarding world ".
Flitwick looked at him in disdain and said," we have the chief warlock and supreme magumo himself as our headmaster and he is also the most powerful wizard alive, having connection to the sorcerer society. Hogwarts also has an extensive network of connections spanning since a millenia. It's more than what Illvermony can offer since it's only 300 years old ".
Fontaine looked at Flitwick coldly and then they started arguing again. Thomas meanwhile looked at Tony and asked," what do you think brother? ", Tony looked at him and said," this looks like a huge mess. Hey can't he just stay here without entering that world ".
Flitwick shook his head and said," if a wizard won't use his magic and don't know how to control, soon it'll develop into an uncontrollable power called obscurus. Although the chance is low but once someone became an obscurus, they won't live long. It's due uo this risk we will appear everytime a name appears in the book of admission ".
Tony is sleptical but although he didn't trust these two, the words that Thomas maybe in danger if he didn't go made him sigh. He felt a little bit jealous. But only a little, he looked at Flitwick and asked," is there any way I can also come to magical world ".
Flitwick and Fontaine looked at him and said," although muggles can't inheritly use magic, some ways are there. As we said there are people called sorcerers unlike us who use pure mana in our body, they use cosmic power in the universe and energy along with spells from dimensional entities. But they rarely contacts us. Even their leader sorcerer supreme isn't in touch with our world for the last three years ".
Tony's eyes lit up and he asked," where can I find this place? ", flitwick shook his head and said," Mr stark, we don't know that. We only know it's a place called kamar-taj. Other than that everything is well hidden about the sorcerers. We can only say there are three bases, new York, london and Hong kong. We don't know much other than this except some of our wizards are recruited into their group ".
