Reborn In Harry Potter - Chapter 32 Holidays Once Again

Ron and the others presented the new method before Pollux and unsurprisingly, he was surprised. Just thinking of the implications if the kids actually managed to do it, it was enough for him to be shocked and surprised for a while. “You kids have to stop giving me so many surprises all time. It’ not good for my old body to be shocked all the time.” Listening to Pollux’s words, the kids just smiled and laughed at his antics. They all knew how proud Pollux was of them. Even if they were one of the kids who joined later, no one was ever ignored or mistreated in Pollux’s presence. After getting a little bit of direction from Pollux, the kids went back to their schedule, wake up, exercise and then converge at the previously decided House. There they practiced their Potions, Alchemy, Runes and Spell casting abilities. They and their families knew how big of an advantage the Runic Tressures made by Ron were and they did not want to waste it. Besides Ron, who had started learning basically since he was born. The others weren’t something to look over as well, the eldest three, Bill, Charlie and Percy could all cast Wandless and Chantless Magic and the others were getting better every day. They could all now make Third Year Potions without the safety measures and could even make some High Level Alchemical, Runic and Magical Treasures without any help.

Everyone of course specialised in particular areas but they never let the other areas fall behind. Besides studying normal Magical Subjects, they also learnt about Wizard Etiquette and History while also learning to duel with and without Magic. All of these different lessons were spread across the week and gave them time to focus on making the products for their shop and work on the Werewolf Animagus Project. A few months passed and whilst they made progress, they weren’t close to a proper result. “Ahhhh! The testing of all these different methods takes so long! Why can’t we just get one result that works right then and there?!!” “Exactly! Why do we come up with so many methods all at once?! If we know something isn’t’ going to work, why do we still test it?!” “I can’t wait for this to be over.”. Hearing the frustrated shouts of the three youngest kids in the room, the others just smiled and went back to testing the different Potion recipes and combinations of spells and materials. Luna, Ginny and Astoria were young but the environment they had grown up in made them much more mature than other kids their age.

They grew up surrounded by hard working and genius people and none of them were slackers despite their young age. Although they were shouting in frustration a minute ago, they were back on the table, looking through books, trying to come up with another Recipe or Combination to try. It wasn’t just them who was frustrated by the lack of success, they were geniuses who hadn’t seen failure for a long, long time. But their grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts were all there for them, in success and failure. Another reason they kept going back to try each and every method they could think of was the fact that they weren’t doing it for fame or money, they were doing it for family. They all knew how amazing and talented Remus was but that talent was buried beneath the fact he was a Werewolf. They all hated how Remus felt unworthy of his status and how they literally had to force him to go and meet his father. Although the meetings became frequent after Lyall Lupin became a member of the Grandparent club, it was even harder to see Remus beat himself up. The Wolfsana Potion helped this situation immensely but it did not cure it and thus, the kids persevered. After another few weeks of trial and error, Hogwarts Holidays came around and Bill and Percy joined the kids once again.

After hearing about their adventures at Hogwarts like how they helped the school deal with the Boggart Issue, the kids didn’t think too much about it. They already knew about the Cursed Vaults at Hogwarts and unlike the original timeline, Dumbledore only held one position in this one, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was able to deal with most of the situations very quickly. Not to mention, he had help from the Ministry and several Wizard Families. After hearing them tell their adventures, Harry excitedly said, “We already know most of that stuff! We should be discussing where we go for the holidays this time!” everyone was excited about once again going around Europe, vising the different properties owned by their families and just having a good time. And they had plenty of good times but they were still working on their project. And with Bill and Charlie joining them, they had another two minds to source ideas from. But most of their time was still spent playing around the Mansions and Villas while going around the Magical and non-Magical Markets around the areas.

Every time they visited a new area, they always went to the local equivalents of Diagon Alley and they would always find new and interesting books, Ingredients and Materials. Each and every one of which almost always gave them a few ideas about the Werewolf Cure and even other projects they had going on at the side.
