Reborn In Harry Potter - Chapter 26 Muggle World
When the Greengra.s.s family was presented the solution to their Blood Curse, they were shocked and surprised and the Head of Family, Gareth Greengra.s.s immediately asked Pollux for an explanation, “Lord Black, although I and my family are grateful for your gift but I am afraid we cannot accept it without you providing an explanation first.” .Anyone one else in that situation wouldn’t even be able to talk properly, much less ask for an explanation. But Lord Greengra.s.s was not just a Head of an old Pure-blood family but he was also the previous Head of the Department of Mysteries. He had dealt with many tricky and unexpected situation over his lifetime and was able to calm himself and a.n.a.lyse the situation and ask Pollux in a calm manner. Pollux smiled at his friend’s apprehensive question and answered, “Lord Greengra.s.s does not have to worry about any favours or requests attached to the Necklace. It is a gift made possible by gathering the knowledge and resources of Six Wizard Families, including yours.”. After hearing those words Gareth relaxed and thanked Pollux once again, “I once again thank you Lord Black and I would like extend my grat.i.tude to the other Wizard Families that were involved as well.”
Pollux just smiled and looked at Daphne and Astoria’s parents who thanked him before leaving to get the Necklace tried and tested. Not all Pure-blood wizard families were like the Weasleys, loving, kind and trusting. Some of them didn’t even trust each other and for good reason too. There were records of children killing their parents, siblings killing each other and parents killing their children. All of that betrayal and killing was one of the reasons for the Wizarding World suffering from two Dark Lords in a single century! After it was just Pollux and Gareth who were left in the room, the two sat in silence for a moment before Gareth asked Pollux, “Who?”. It was a single word but Pollux knew what the Lord Greengra.s.s wanted to know. Thinking about the shock and surprise on Gareth’s face, Pollux pretended to think about it for a moment and then responded with a single word as well, “Ron.”. Instead of shock and surprise on Gareth’s face, Pollux only saw a smile and then heard Gareth say, “I knew it was a good idea to send those books over there. That little kid is quite something.” Pollux almost strangled his `old friend’ for his comment. `Quite something’ was not at all a good enough description for Ron or his achievements. It wasn’t even enough to describe his siblings and his friends achievements! But he controlled himself and just cursed the old man in his heart.
Back at the Weasley House Library, Ron was currently surrounded by Books. There were some new books but most were copies of the Ancient Books and Tomes of the Wizard Families alongside some good books from the ` Second Hand Bookstore’. These days the kids travelled a lot, they took turns hosting the others at their own Family Houses and took a trip to Diagon Alley almost every two or three weeks. It was during this time that Ron put the idea of going to the Muggle World inside everyone’s head. At first, everyone besides fathers and uncles, even Pollux refused and being the good kids they were, they accepted the answer and moved on. But seeing their sulking faces, the mothers and the old stuck-up Grandparents finally caved in and the day for the kids first trip to Muggle England arrived. “Alright listen up! All of you are going to stay close to me and Remus, and if even one you wanders off, there will be no more trips and you will all lose your Runic Treasures and your Wizard Cla.s.ses for a month.”. The threat of no more cla.s.ses wouldn’t be effective on any other children but the kids present here, all loved to learn. And when the subject was Magic itself, it was almost impossible to make the cla.s.ses boring. “Don’t worry Uncle Sirius, we’ll all be good children and won’t wander off, now let’s go already!”. Sirius looked at Ron and the others impatient faces and hurriedly brought them to the car prepared by the ` old stuck-up Grandparents’.
When Ron first saw the car, he thought it was the Hogwarts Express in a different form! The car was a Magical Object that had been heavily Charmed with luxury, comfort and defence charms. Even if a grenade exploded beneath the car, the pa.s.sengers wouldn’t feel anything but the attacker would instead suffer under Jinxes and Hexes placed by Wizards and Witches like Pollux, Gareth, Augusta and Eon. Each one had gone to an extreme length to make the travel both comfortable and safe. Ron sighed at the overprotective grandparents while munching on the food and snacks in the `Car’. The whole journey to London was very calm and enjoyable and with the Enchantments and Charms placed on the Car, it only took them an hour to get there. As soon as the kids got off, they dragged Sirius and Remus to their first destination, the Cinema! “Why are you kids so excited about this? There’s a Theatre in Devon, you’ve all seen a movie before.” Remus was also curious and sked the kids, “yes, I’m pretty curious as well. What’ so special about the cinema here?”. The kids were excited about the opportunity to explore the Muggle world and didn’t want to waste any time. So they didn’t bother replying and just dragged the two Uncles to the counter. Before the two could say anything or ask any more questions, Fred looked at the two and said, “Can you two please but the tickets real quick?”. Once again, before they could say anything, George spoke as well, “Yeah, we have an hour ride back home and I am sure none of us want to be smelling farts, puking or saying embarra.s.sing secrets all that time.”
