Reborn In Harry Potter - Chapter 35 Cursed Vaults

When Bill and Charlie got back from Hogwarts, they already knew about the Werewolf Cure Potion. In fact, there was hardly a sentient being in the Wizard World that didn’t know of the Potion that could cure one of the `uncurbable’ diseases of Wizard kind. “I can’t tell you how proud I felt when I first heard the news about the Potion.” Hearing the big brother of the group say those words, the kids were embarrassed and tried to play down their accomplishments. “It’s not that big a deal, I mean, we heard from Grandpa that you guys helped solve one of the mysteries of Hogwarts and even managed to save a person while doing it!”.

It was the older brothers turn to be shy about their accomplishments this time. Hearing Cedric’s words reminded them of their adventures at Hogwarts and how they helped solve the mystery of the Cursed Vaults. Bill had already been working on that mystery with his friends for a while but he always needed to protect them from harm at all times and couldn’t concentrate on the task. But after Charlie joined him in the task, it all became easier and within two years, they had opened the five legendary hidden rooms at Hogwarts and while discovering the Treasures left in the final room, they even managed to save Jacob and help him reunite with his family.
for visiting.

As for the Treasures, they were hidden in each one of the five Vaults behind layers and layers of Spells, Charms and Curses. If not for the preparatory study and work they did before they went to Hogwarts, Bill and Charlie would never have even discovered a trace of the hidden rooms within the Vaults. The treasures included standards items like gold, silver and gems but it also contained precious treasures like Ancient Tomes filled with powerful and arcane Magic, Research Books from Grand Wizards and even some precious Magical Materials some of which hadn’t been seen for centuries! In between those records, the origin of the Cursed Vaults was explained as well, at the start they were built as inheritance sites for the future generations as well as a backup plan in case of an accident. But when Slytherin got in a fight with the other three and left the Castle, in his anger, he turned the Testing sites into a nightmare for future generations.

Bill and Charlie sighed at the same time and Bill almost shouted his words at Cedric and the others, “if you mention those rooms one more time, I swear I’m not gonna talk to you anymore.” Everyone knew that their kind and caring big brother would never do such a thing but before they could tease him further, Charlie spoke as well, “I’m so happy that Dumbledore put our ties to the affair under wraps. Just the people that know about it already never shut up about it, if the whole school knew,*Shudder*”. The kids stopped teasing their big brothers and started to think of what they were going to work on for the next year. Their shop had already generated enough revenue for them to never work in their lifetime but this was the problem with hard working geniuses, they actually wanted to learn about new things and try to make their own versions.

Harry sighed before saying, “well, we have been putting that thing on the backburner for a while and with Percy leaving next year and Cedric and the Twins joining them the year after that, we should get started on it as soon as possible.” When the `thing’ was mentioned, everyone’s eyes lit up and they all started to imagine the end results at that instant. But they were brought out of their stupor when Ron pretended to cough before saying, “We can’t start daydreaming at his moment especially since we so much work to do. I mean, the potential powers from the `Blood Awakening Ritual’ do sound great but at this moment the Magical Crystal Mine hasn’t finished forming and without the Magic Crystals to act as the catalyst, we have to look for a substitute.”

Ron’s words brought them to reality but they already knew the things Ron was saying. Ever since the time a book related to Magic Rituals was found by Ron during his search for a way to cure the Blood Malediction Curse, it had become one of the favourite subjects of research for the kids. They had looked through hundreds of books and researched thousands of different types of Magic Rituals and while some of them were extremely dark and required a person to present sacrifices and harm themselves, there were others which required the person to prepare Magical formations, precious materials and Potions for them to work.

Although it sounded tedious, and it was, the end results of Magic Rituals could range from effects like never getting sick, increased lifespan and better health to receiving Magical Talents, awakening Bloodline traits amongst other things like something as obscure as increasing the Luck of the person! As for the target of Ron and the others, it was to purify their body and awaken their bloodline talents whilst adding on additional effects to create a new Magical Ritual.
