Chapter 165: A Visit to the Chamber! Part-2
{Second Floor Girl's Lavatory, Hogwarts}
{31th Oct 1991}
{Narcissa's POV}
...
The stone grounding filled the room as Narcissa saw the stones shifting to reveal an entrance. Though her 'eyes' were more focused on the magic around the room, she had felt it. The ambient mana trembled and obeyed Rigel's command when he spoke in Parseltongue. The runes on the entrance lit up again when he whispered something. Mana danced around the entrance, but nothing changed.
'I have heard him speak in Parseltongue before because it is his password, but the amount of ambient mana has a different effect.' She was quite attuned to mana due to the Black Family trait. But it was the first time she had seen someone command ambient mana. Other than using wards, it was quite hard to accomplish this.
Rigel's eyes surveyed our reaction, and I could feel a slight hint of interest in his emotions. He had been like that since the beginning, checking everyone's reaction. It reminded her of when she first gained insight into emotion sensing with her mana sense in her 5th year.
'It surely is that, as Rigel normally isn't that interested in everyone's reaction... normally, he's too busy ogling me or someone else.' She wasn't blind to his faults. For all the ease with which magic bends to his will, Rigel was a little perverse. But then again, it was why she liked him, didn't she? The fact that he's not afraid to take control of her and bend and stretch her in ways she wasn't sure were possible before.
Rigel's eyes met hers momentarily, and his gaze lingered before it dipped down. He was ogling her dress again, which was a surprise, as she wasn't dressed as provocatively today and hadn't expected to meet him.
