"Don't worry Luna, I'll find your things and make sure those responsible are punished for it." Penny assured the younger blonde. "It's my responsibility as a Prefect after all." Luna nodded into the hug and mumbled a quiet 'Thank you.' to the Sixth Year Prefect.
-Same Night ~ Ravenclaw Common Room-
That night in the Ravenclaw Common Room was one no student of the House would forget. They saw polite Penelope Clearwater truly angry for the first time. Harry had already made the Ward Lock for Luna and showed her how to use it. He'd gotten a hug from the happy blonde for it and was now sitting beside her as Penny worked herself up into a proper rage.
"I can't believe what I'm seeing!" Penny yelled as she used a Wandless Summoning Charm to retrieve Luna's missing things from around the Ravenclaw Tower. Many of her possession had come floating down from the Girls Dorms and several girls looked very shocked when certain items floated into the Common Room. "Do you all have no decency? No shame? She's a First Year!" Penny yelled at the girls that had basically outed themselves as responsible. Once Luna's stolen things were all in the room, Harry and Luna picked them up and carried them to the little blonde's room. They could still hear Penny's angry voice even from upstairs, well…as far as Harry could go of course. Boys couldn't actually set foot on the first landing without being tossed off and making an alarm go off.
"Wands!" Penny commanded and the wands of seven different girls, the one's that had practically outed themselves, flew from wherever the girls normally kept them and into the Prefect's hand. "You lot will follow me to Professor Flitwick's Office immediately!" She ordered and when the girls looked obstinate the blonde simply 'willed' her intent upon them. All seven found themselves being floated through the air by their robes and following the enraged Penny as she marched out of the Common Room. The entirety of Ravenclaw House simply stared at the door leading out of the Common Room in shock. Not even the Seventh Years made a noise for several moments. None of them had known that Penny was capable of that at all. To Wandlessly Summon all of the stolen items from this distance, to take seven wands that were all stashed away on their owner's person, and then to levitate seven other people like it was nothing. It was mind-boggling to the other students; the fact that Penny had done it all without even drawing her own wand left many of them shaken.
"I wouldn't recommend making her upset like this again." Harry spoke up as he passed through the Common Room and headed towards the stairs for the Boy's Dorms. "She didn't even get aggressive enough to use Hexes or Jinxes. They all got off light compared to what I've seen her do." With his piece said Harry ascended the stairs to his dorm room for the night.
-The Next Weekend ~ Saturday-
"Almost, just a few more centimeters…" Harry mumbled to himself as he carefully filled in the last line of the Magic Circuit he'd etched into one of the Oulm knives he'd forged. Circuit Base slowly poured from the tip of the Alchemic Pen as he carefully filled in the line. "And…done." He smiled as he put the Pen down and let his creation cool and solidify. This was the first Oulm knife he'd 'finished' so far. He'd ended up ruining the first three he'd tried to etch Arrays into. Oulm was low-grade for a reason as it could lose the Magic inherent in the metal with improper handling. 'Man, what I wouldn't give to have some Orichalcum.' Harry thought to himself as he waited so that he could test his knife. Orichalcum was much higher-grade Magic Metal and its intrinsic Magical Properties made it one of the best substances for conducting Magic in the world. Unfortunately it was still rather far out of Harry's limited ability with Alchemy to even attempt to produce. Maybe in a year or two he'd have the skill to try and transmute it, but for now it was just wishful thinking.
Seeing the Oulm knife set and ready, Harry picked the knife up and set about testing it. The Array he'd chosen to etch into this knife incorporated four different Runic Sequences; Cut Prevention, Durability, Severance, and his own unique sequence for Mana, the same as he used for the Counting Sequence to identify in his Scouters and Test Frames. It would probably seem odd for any Magical Bladesmith to have both the Severance Sequence and the Cut Prevention Sequence on the same blade. Cut Prevention made a blade 'dull' for all intents and purposes, which made a blade useless unless it was paired with an activation/deactivation sequence. While the Severance Sequence allowed a blade to slice through things that would normally be too hard or durable for it to cut through. But that was one of Harry's end goals for his Artifact Sword; a blade that wouldn't cut anyone or anything, except exactly what was specified in the Array. In this case Harry wanted the knife to be able to cut mana or Magic. Admittedly his twelve year old mind thought slicing spells apart would be really cool, so he'd set out to make that his Artifact Sword's claim to fame. 'How cool will it be to have a 'Spell Cutting Sword'?' Harry pondered an excited grin on his face.
