Chapter VIII-Potter Luck
Five weeks have passed since the world went into a frenzy of death and chaos, these long weeks have been hell, infected people have shown up more often than I would like on my doorstep, forcing me to get rid of them as I am alone. I used my magic to get rid of them, in this way I ended up discovering that the head is their place of weakness, which made everything easier, but as I can't depend on my magic if I decide to be with other people (which I'm going to do, I can love the silence lately, but this is not very healthy) I decided to use a transfiguration spell to make a very sharp and difficult to break sword, the sword is a wakizashi its blade is a little smaller than a katana, I needed some time to practice, but it turns out well for me.
At this moment I'm on the road towards the city, which is why I ran out of food a day ago, I only had a few cookies left, in short I'll have to venture out, specifically in the city of Atlanta since there are no houses near the cabin and the city are closer than children's summer camp.
It's so hot that the shirt I'm wearing is sticking to my skin because of the sweat, it doesn't help that I'm carrying my backpack, not that it's heavy (I have a spell to make it light, but not so much in case someone picks it up) it's the fact that it warms my back, I just wanted a little rain....
Holy crap.
A few seconds of walking, and out of nowhere, a heavy rain started, I had to run and hide in the trees, so my things wouldn't get so wet, and I cooled off in the rain then I stayed under the tree waiting for it to pass, it didn't take long, but it still rained enough, I changed my clothes as I was wearing one of Dudley's clothes, I simply threw it away and continued my journey, luckily I didn't find anyone infected, this allowed me a smooth and quick journey.
The city's highway was quite quiet, until I reached the city center, there were some infected people on the street making me walk through the alleys to avoid them, I entered a door in one of the alleys, turning on my flashlight, I observed the place that ended up being a small grocery store.
How lucky!
I smile, closing the door behind me and lightly tapping the wall with the tip of the flashlight and waiting a few minutes to see if it was empty, when nothing happened I took out my wand and cast the Incendio Tria spell that creates blue flames, I do a small fire floats next to me as I take my backpack off my back and hold it in my hand, starting to look at the shelves.
I managed to find some cans of beans, some bales of water and soft drinks, cans of soup and biscuits. I took two of the four bales of water from those little ones and one of the two bales of soda cans, I put them in my suitcase after filling my water bottle which was half full, I put a can of soup and a can of beans in my backpack, and they kept the rest in my suitcase along with the cookies, I didn't take everything because there are people who might need it too, there's not just me out there so if anyone needs it, it will be here.
After tidying up everything I put out the fire and went out the side of the building, my next stop would be the pharmacy on the other side of the street, it would be difficult, there were five infected people on the street and I didn't want their attention, much less the others I saw in the other alleys.
I should have brought my invisibility cloak!
Sighing, I pick up a rock from the ground and throw it with all my strength into a trash can, barely missing it. I wait a few minutes for the infected to leave and run as quietly as possible, barely managing to complete my objective.
How lucky I am that the door is open and there's nothing inside, and the door closes without any squeaky noise.....
The answer is none.
The door was locked, I was forced to use magic to open it.
There were two infected people in pharmacy uniforms inside, I managed to deal with them, cutting one's head in half and piercing the other's.
And the door closed with an annoyingly loud noise, leaving me trapped there with the five infected trying to get in.
As Hermione says, “Potter luck is amazing!”
But other than that, getting the medicines was easy, again I didn't get everything except for the sweets I got them all, the years of being deprived of the paradise of cavities spoke louder in my ears.
I ended up spending the night at the pharmacy, the infected at the door attracted a few more and I didn't want to face them in the dark.
I fell asleep with the blue flames glowing around the place.........
