"We need better cover!" Fred screamed as he dodged another hex. |
"Follow me." George ordered. |
The triad ducked and dived as they made their way into the brush, and disillusioned themselves, while making their foot steps silent. |
George grabbed Harry by the back of the neck, and stared him down. "Raven. You need to calm your magic. I can feel it through my body. You’re too powerful to lose control and it won’t help Sirius one bit." George released him and gave him a quick hard kiss. "Get it together love." |
Harry closed his eyes and reached inside of himself to calm his magic. It was something that Cara had taught him to do when the blocks were released. He looked at his boyfriend with crystal clear emerald eyes. "Let’s go." |
Harry had the clarity that he needed to continue. Harry snuck through the bushes, as he thought of his training. Sirius was bound on his knees, and was laughing...the idiot. Didn’t he learn the last time? He looked to his left and saw George. |
"Something isn’t right." George whispered. |
Harry rolled his eyes. "What the bloody hell about any of this is right?" |
"Come out come out little Potter." A voice that was dripping with mock sweetness called out. "I would hate to have to kill your godfather. Crucio!" Sirius fell to the ground in agony. Harry turned away from the sight. |
"I’m sure you’re wondering how we found you." The bastard went back to walking around Sirius’ body. "Some goblins can be bought for the right price. Not to mention you have mole in your filthy little bloodsucker camp." |
"Suggestions?" Harry asked in a calm voice. His hands were just itching to go for his Beretta. |
"I’ll summon Sirius to me. Harry you take out the main guy and the two on the right. George the three on the left. Quick and dirty. No stunners." Fred commanded. |
"Are we sure that this is all of them?" Harry asked. |
"You can never be one hundred percent, but counting the ones that we fought earlier, this was all that was left in the immediate area. I scouted to within a square mile." George stated. |
"We go on three." Fred counted them down silently with his right hand and they burst into action. |
Harry shot the main perpetrator (or loud mouth as Harry referred to him as, in the back of the head) while simultaneously sending rapid fire blasting and cutting hexes at the remaining opponents. George was just as deadly with his spells and made quick work of his three. They both stood back to back looking for further... |
"Fred! Is Sirius alright?" Harry asked not taking his eyes from the surrounding area. |
"Ending Simulation." A mechanical voice called out. The scene changed into a large metal room. One wall held what looked like a viewing room with a large window. All of his instructors were there, including Sirius and they all looked proud. |
At which point Harry dropped to his knees and threw up. Harry retched for what seemed like ages. He sat on his bum and cast a breath freshening charm. Afterwards, he was just staring at his hands. |
"I killed someone. Yes it was a simulation, but I didn’t know that and I killed him. I didn’t give him a chance to surrender. I just shot him.’ Harry was so lost in his thoughts that he jumped a little when a glass of water was brought into his line of sight. |
"Thanks." He murmured, and took the glass gratefully from Cara as she sat down next to him. |
"What’s going on in that gorgeous head of yours?" She asked as she nudged him. |
"I’m a killer. I’m dark and evil, just like Voldemort." She shot her hand up to ward off the coming rants from everyone around him. |
"Listen to me little one. I have been around a long time. I’ve seen evil. You are not even close. You are going back to a world that expects you to fix all of their problems, with a smile and some type of divine "light’ powers. But the truth is it takes work. Hard work and hard decisions. I pray to Morgana and Eldia th... |
She placed her hands on both sides of his head. "You are a good boy Harry. A boy who has had a shitty life and come out the stronger. All of the people in this room love you...fiercely, and we will never let you fall to the darkness. Tell me Harry. Do you think I’m evil?" |
"I’ve killed before Harry. My home and family were threatened. The wizards that came to kill me, were on orders from someone not unlike your Riddle. I was a witch married to a vampire, which in his eyes made me disgusting. Leo was busy fighting elsewhere in the house when they came after my son. They felt he didn’t des... |
"While defending my family and even at New Hope I have killed Harry, and I would do it again. We protect the ones we love." Leo stood behind his wife and placed his hands on her shoulder. |
"I killed many people in one night in a country in Africa after I came upon a village of mostly women, children and elderly who had been raped and slaughtered. I found those responsible and destroyed them." Natasha stated calmly. |
"Hogsmeade my seventh year. There was a Death Eater attack. Jamie was pinned down by two of the bastards. I used an old family spell that severed the heads of both of them. You’re in good company Harry. I puked my guts out too. And your grandfather told me much of what we are telling you. You are a good person Harry, b... |
Harry’s head snapped up "Fred! George!" He looked around wildly. |
George was asleep on his brother’s lap on the floor as Fred stroked his hair. |
"He’ll be fine. He was more worried about you than anything. He just needs rest." |
"I think we all do. Come. We are not far from New Hope. We will settle in, and tomorrow go over what was done right and what could have been done better." Natasha said as she walked towards the exit. |
Sirius turned to Harry as Lauren conjured a stretcher and put George onto it. "I’m sorry pup. I know that you didn’t like it, but it had to be done. |
Harry nodded. "Let’s just get out of here. I need a stomach soother." He wrapped his arm around his godfathers waist and was walked out of the building. |
Harry stopped in his tracks. "Wait!" Harry gestured to the room. "How?" |
"The would be kidnappers/killers were golems. Spelled to react accordingly of course. This room is enchanted to turn into whatever you want for the most part. There are limitations however. If it is not familiar with the technology being asked for etc. But it is updated every few years." Lauren explained. |
"There is rumored to be a room at Hogwarts like this, but sadly we never found it." Sirius murmured. |
Once they made it to the Council Chambers, (and George had been woken up) Harry watched as Caleb came into the room and made a mad dash for him. "Caleb!" |
"Hello young one." Caleb said into Harry’s shoulder, as Harry had decided to jump into the vampire’s arms. |
Cara shared a smile with Sirius. It had taken a lot to get Harry to allow anyone but the twins and Sirius to touch him. |
Caleb put Harry down."Did you get my last letter? I’m going to go for my potions OWL and NEWT! Sirius is taking us to the ICW headquarters to take them, so no one could say it didn’t count. Did you know that if you’re an ICW member country you have to take exam scores that are given at the ICW headquarters? I’m also go... |
Caleb let out a booming laugh "Slow down Harry! If you will let me, I will answer you. Now let’s see. Yes. Congratulations. Yes. Sounds like a good idea. Again...congratulations." |
Harry cocked his head to the side in confusion. "Huh?" At that point everyone laughed. |
"Oh...sorry" Harry said sheepishly after realizing he had rambled a bit. |
Caleb ruffled his much longer hair. Harry wanted to grow it out and then have it professionally cut, but no one really knows. He keeps changing his mind. "Now let me look at you all." He looked at all of Natasha’s "patients’ and smiled broadly. "You all look amazing! I’m very happy for you, but remember. You need to ke... |
"Hey! Just because three of you are like two thousand years older than me doesn’t mean I’m not an adult." Sirius said petulantly, but then danced away from the cuff to the head from Natasha. |
"I meant you too you idiot. You’re the parent." Leo was laughing his head off at Natasha berating Sirius for implying that she was ancient. |
"Same rooms as before?" George asked through a yawn. |
Leo nodded. "Same rooms. And no...What did that American witch call it...Ah. No hanky panky. I liked that witch." |
Natasha snorted. "Of course you did. She was just as weird as you are." Now it was Natasha’s turn to dance out of the way. |
"Come, everyone, to my office." Caleb led the way after everyone said goodnight to the teens. |
Caleb walked into his office and conjured up extra chairs with a wave of his hand, as there was only two in front of his desk. He looked to Natasha. She handed him the paperwork that everyone had signed(Harry, with Sirius’ permission) to allow everyone to hear the contents. Caleb nodded after he checked it. "Report." |
"The boys and Sirius are in excellent health. The scars and malnutrition that Harry had suffered through are nearly fully reversed. He has gone from sixty kilograms to seventy seven kilograms. Most of that is muscle, as he tried to push his body to the limit. His height has increased to 1.8 meters. There has been a com... |
Cara nodded. "We’ll get to that." |
"Fredrick has increased his muscle mass a bit. He was never in danger of malnutrition..." |
"Only trying to kill everyone by trying to blow up the house with his brother." Leo muttered. |
"As I was saying." Natasha shot Leo a hard look, to which he stuck his tongue out at her. "Fredrick will be just fine. I am concerned about how his water affinity will affect his core, but I think with more training he will handle it well. The same with George. All biological signs are in excellent condition. His earth... |
"Wait. Are you telling me that all three of those boys have elemental powers?" Caleb asked shocked for the first time that he could remember. |
"Yes. It’s very raw right now, and actually quite dangerous if they don’t practice in a controlled environment, with a daily set of exercises. As a matter of fact, Fredrick has shown that he may have some wind affinity as well" |
Caleb nodded and turned to Leo next. "Your report Leonides." |
Leo rolled his eyes at his full name. That being said, he gave his report anyway. "They’re capable fighters, however it has only been a short time of intense training. They’ll need to continue to practice." Leo tilted his head in thought. "Before they head back to their homeland, I would like them to come to my studio ... |
Leo looked at his wife, Natasha, Lauren, and Aditi and wiped the sweat from his brow from dodging spells. "I was going to say before I was so rudely interrupted..." His wife smacked in the back of the head. |
"Thanks my love." He said drily |
"I must help my love when he is being stupid. We cannot have the whole family appear to be so...stupid." |
"You were saying Leonides." It was best to stop these two before he was made an uncle again. The two may have been cousins, but they were more like brothers. |
Leo cleared his throat as he tore his gaze away from his wife’s lips. "I have observed the wizarding side of the qualifications of their mid level exams, and I would recommend that they take all exams necessary in the subject. As you know, I’m not a traditional wand wielder. However, I would definitely sign my name as ... |
Caleb nodded. He turned his head to Aditi. "My Lady Singh." |
"Their potions instruction has been atrocious!" Caleb raised a brow at the rest of the group, as he watched the Potions Mistress pace the floor muttering to herself about technique and reactions. |
Caleb looked to Natasha for help. |
"Their current potion master is a genius in the field, who is world renowned for his brewing and tweaking of various potions to make them more potent or useful. He doesn’t discriminate on species either. He lives for the challenge, no matter who they are. However. He hates teaching children how to stir which way or the... |
Sirius had the decency to look ashamed. Sirius had spoken in one of the group sessions about what he was like when he attended Hogwarts, and Harry had not been impressed. He berated Sirius for treating other students, and Snape especially, like they were something he scraped from his shoe. It was the same way that he h... |
Aditi wasn’t paying attention to the conversation. This was the first time she had truly ranted about the situation. "OH! AND YOU WANT NEW BLOODS TO BE ABLE TO TELL YOU THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHOPPED NEWTS EYES AND DICED! RIDICULOUS!" She threw her hands in the air. |
It was apparent to everyone in the room that Aditi was in her own world without a care to anyone else as she ranted and threw her arms wildly, while complaining about the poor potion’s instruction at Hogwarts. |
Cara walked up to her and grabbed her shoulders gently. "Aditi stop." She said fimly. |
Aditi blinked a few times and looked at her friend. "What happened?" |
"You finally let your opinion be made public about their potions teacher." |
"Oh. Oh dear." She looked looked to Caleb and bowed her head. "Forgive me. I was out of place" |
Caleb waved it away. "I have been told that those who have mastered the art of potion making do not have the normal social graces that it takes to deal with us mere mortals. It takes a lot to handle such volatility. Come." Caleb smiled warmly and gestured for her to take his arm as he led her to a chair next to Sirius. |
"Let us try again. My Lady Singh. Your opinion on the children." Caleb asked. |
"The boys are adequate." |
"Coming from you My Lady Singh, that is the highest praise." Caleb simply raised a brow, because he knew she would know that he would want more information. |
"Indeed it is." Aditi did not blink at following the subtle demand for more information. Even though she was looking Caleb in the eye. "I want George. He is the most promising candidate for the International Potioneer License that has been seen in a long time. His dream is to open a joke shop with his brother. You are ... |
"Mad w..." Cara clasped her hand over her husband’s mouth. |
"As I was saying" she continued as she turned her attention back to Caleb. "I support one hundred percent their idea. I also support his idea to help the poor. I would like to offer him a full apprenticeship. With an agreement of a full mastery in four years, if he works hard." |
Sirius shook his head and then looked up at her. "He’s really that good?" |
"Yes Sirius, he is. He has already met some of the criteria. He has invented three potions of his own. They may have started out as pranks, but they have lasting indications for the over all health and wellness to witches, wizards and magical species. |
Caleb leaned back in his chair and steepled his fingers together. "Explain." |
"The new color changing potion that he invented, that combined with a necklace that his brother invented changes a person’s skin color." |
"How has this made him a candidate?" Caleb asked. |
"It has yet to be tested, but if our calculations are correct, it can be used to find diseased tissue. The color shows up as not being natural to the patient’s DNA. Completely non evasive." |
Caleb did something he hadn’t done in a long time. He dropped his jaw as he stared at Aditi. "Do you realize what this means?" |
Aditi smirked. "It’s even better than you think. He has made a potion that is safe for NoMaj use. Not only that, it can be used without the charms of his brothers design." |
"Wait. He made a potion to find diseased tissue in both magicals and NoMajs?" Leo asked. |
"No. He invented a new color change potion." Aditi deadpanned. |
"Well damn." Sirius murmured. |
"You were saying Lady Singh." |
"He has invented a potion that helps to shrink..." |
Sirius scoffed. "That has been around for..." |
"Yes. It has been done before, but this is eight times faster. The fastest that I’ve seen in many moons! He hasn’t even realized what he has made. In combination with non magic medicine, it would revolutionize healthcare in your country. Hell! All countries! He could do so much good in your homeland, and not just for t... |
