Lupin was filled in and let into the kingdom he was shocked at both lily and James being there even more shocked at a s.e.xy Bella in a maid outfit ma.s.saging my shoulders on my throne but everything was explained with tearful apologies from him about c.r.a.p that he didn"t know happened I explained I might be able to help him with his werewolf problem with some rare altered animagus potions allowing him to be like the twilight wolves with it being forced on a full moon but permanent control he cant infect people though he gladly accepted and I hired him on as a new teacher for me and the kids for dark creatures combat lessons and dos and don"t Sirius had been training us with James on the art of dueling Sirius was good at darker spells and James did battle transfiguration like golems and stuff it was wicked lily and Andromeda were teaching us more about potions and charms since Andromeda was a potions mistress and lily was good at both potions and charms. Bella helped us with hand to hand involving knives while Sirius had swords we didn"t have a good martial arts teacher yet but soon we might. we had personal training as well I had them learn how to use basic guns lily helped out we had a small shooting range we didn"t really need them since you know death by magic but it"s good to have many skills. James helped me practice with my chains and vibranium b.a.l.l.s against golems he made its much harder to hit moving things than trees and I didn"t want to f.u.c.k it up by missing 70% of the time that would be uncool. Daphne had started learning under Ted about laws and politics since he was a wizard lawyer he knew quite a bit. Tonks trained a lot with Bella about fast casting and moving she was getting better. Neville and Harry had take up swordplay from Sirius and James. Hermione stuck to my library just reading about new world"s and coming up with plans. Luna played around with the animals and liked to ride around on G.o.dzilla. the kids got some basic combat kills in the dungeon along with the adults the first couple floors were weak monsters you know horned rabbits goblins ( the little green kind not the banker kind) some wolves basic stuff. I had provided every one of them with basic animagus potions the cheap kind that just unlocks the basic animal. Luna was a bunny Harry got a panther Neville a bear like me but his was a black bear Hermione an otter Tonks got a chameleon fitting indeed and Daphne got a snake you could see me and Harry hissing at her asking her questions to the confusion of people around us. apparently she sees in heat vision now and it"s odd. I wonder if dragons see in heat vision a question for another time I suppose. Harry was staying over for the quidditch world cup along with the girls my dad had gotten tickets like in the book for all of us he even got a nice tent for the event it was kinda like a motel style tent with just rooms down a hallway leading to a dining room and a kitchen with a basic sitting room nothing fancy but it will do. BTW our Trunks if they weren"t set up with is were always on our necklace with emergency funds available just in case it never hurts to be prepared for idk s.p.a.ce rifts or something like I said before better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
I had bought the 5 basic humunculus for my extra souls they didn"t cost much now they looked like little babies in my internal soul realm wrapped up sleeping in enkidu chains it was kinda cute. I didn"t want to use any of them now but they were linked to the kingdom as well so basically If I get f.u.c.ked up and this body dies one of my baby clones pops up in the kingdom to be taken care of by Ca.s.sie and the girls til I can function the souls have an auto recovery rate as well so if one dies it recovers but it takes 50 years per. and 5 years til my body can do anything worthwhile. now it was time for my grand adventure the big one the one we"ve all been waiting for yes the quidditch world cup Ca.s.sie woke me up "Time to go, Ryan, dear," I heard in my mind.
I looked out the window. It was still dark outside. luna muttered indistinctly as I helped wake her up. At the foot of my mattress i saw three large, disheveled shapes emerging from tangles of blankets.
""S time already?" said Tonks groggily.
They dressed in silence, too sleepy to talk, then, yawning and stretching, the five of them headed downstairs into the kitchen. I didn"t peek at them i swear. Mom was stirring the contents of a large pot on the stove, while Dad was sitting at the table, checking a sheaf of large parchment tickets. He looked up as the everyone entered and spread his arms so that they could see his clothes more clearly. He was wearing what appeared to be a golfing sweater and a very old pair of jeans, slightly too big for him and held up with a thick leather belt.
"What d"you think?" he asked anxiously. "We"re supposed to go incognito – do I look like a Muggle, Ryan?" "Yeah," said Ryan, smiling, "very good. " we had to use a portkey this morning there were to many people to apparate ryan knew that Apparating meant disappearing from one place and reappearing almost instantly in another, but had never practiced it yet for fear of splinching and understood that it was very difficult. he would start practicing when people could watch and help he really wanted to learn before going to the next world it would be so much easier to travel. but the thought of leaving body parts behind was always worrying. Harry had never heard of apparition before so they explained about what it was and how you needed a license. "You have to pa.s.s a test to Apparate?" Harry asked.
"Oh yes," said Dad, tucking the tickets safely into the back pocket of his jeans. "The Department of Magical Transportation had to fine a couple of people the other day for Apparating without a license. It"s not easy, Apparition, and when it"s not done properly it can lead to nasty complications. This pair I"m talking about went and splinched themselves. "
Everyone around the table except Harry winced.
"Er – splinched?" said Harry.
"They left half of themselves behind," said dad, now spooning large amounts of treacle onto his porridge. "So, of course, they were stuck. Couldn"t move either way. Had to wait for the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad to sort them out. Meant a fair old bit of paperwork, I can tell you, what with the Muggles who spotted the body parts they"d left behind. . . . . "Were they okay?" he asked, startled.
"Oh yes," said dad matter-of-factly. "But they got a heavy fine, and I don"t think they"ll be trying it again in a hurry. You don"t mess around with Apparition. There are plenty of adult wizards who don"t bother with it. Prefer brooms – slower, but safer. "
