It had been another year since the opening of Ottery St Magical Treasures and the business was still booming. The shop"s stock of Potions, Runic and Magical Treasures, Potion Materials and other Ingredients was always in need of restocking and they had the best sources for each of those products. With the addition of families of Neville, Ernie, Daphne and Astoria, Ron and the others had supporters other than Pollux. The Longbottom Family owned a several sources of High Level Magical Material sources and the Greengra.s.s Family owned several Magical Herb and Potion Ingredient Farms. As for the Macmillan Family, they owned a lot of property all across Europe, some of which were home to Materials and Ingredients not available in Great Britain! With the large and diverse amount of materials at their hands, the kids went nuts and each of them started to increase the quality, quant.i.ty and diversity of their products and over the years, the increase in those areas matched the increase in business. Although it was happy days for Pollux and the kids, the shop was still something of a home business and not a big company with multiple shops and a lot of employees, despite the fact that the kids had every resource in the world to do so. This was because of the fact that the kids were, well, kids and even with the Runic and Magic Treasures, Advanced and Exceptional Level Potions and help from Wise Old Wizards like Pollux, they still had limits.

Although his Occlumency was still stuck at the early stages, Ron knew it wasn"t far into the future when he would be able to further progress this Magic. In the year past, Charlie had joined Bill at Hogwarts and Ginny, Astoria and Luna were finally able to cast a spell with the Runic Rings! Charlie and Bill"s departure saddened everyone once again but with so many good things going on in both the kids and the adults lives, the mood wasn"t down for long. At the start of the year, Arthur"s Division, the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office, was able to expand itself and turn into a big part of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Of course, Pollux and his friends helped out a lot but it was still a big achievement for both Arthur, the Weasleys and their friends, ``*Woooh!* Congratulations Dad!!"". As soon as Arthur entered the Weasley Mansion, he was greeted by the loud, excited and happy voices of his family and friends. ``Well Done Arhutr! Don"t go forgetting us now that you"ve been promoted a bunch of times."" Amos and the others were teasing Arthur but Momma Weasley was almost in tears but held it in and congratulated her Husband, ``I am so happy for you Dear! I feel like it"s a dream but I know it"s not and I am so, so happy for you and for all of us!"". Molly"s words were the prestation of everyone"s feelings and they all smiled as they enjoyed the Celebration Dinner.
A few months later, another cause for celebration came up, Sirius, according to the words of Pollux, had `finally finished moping and sulking around all day and actually done something with his life" . And it wasn"t entirely false, although Sirius helped manage the shop alongside Remus. He didn"t really have much of a purpose but finally he got himself together and one day at the dinner table turned to Pollux and said, ``Grandfather, I know I am not even the last person that is able to inherit the Family Head position but I would like to learn from you and bring honour to the family name."" Unlike everyone else at the table, Pollux wasn"t surprised at Sirius"s words and replied, ``You are correct that you aren"t at all fit to inherit the Family but you are incorrect that the family would need you to bring honour to the it"s name. My grandkids and the other more mature and more capable adults around you will be able to do that."". Ron, alongside the others all spat out their food in shock and after a moment of silence all burst into laughter. The loudest of these laughter"s was from Remus, who had suffered the teasing of Sirius for over a year, for becoming `boring and not fun anymore". The amount of times he had wanted to say Pollux"s words to Sirius was countless but it was all worth it!!
Ron still thought about that moment and knew he would not be lacking a memory for the Patronus Charm as he thought back to Pollux"s next words, ``But I am happy that my Grandson has finally decided to grown up and help his old Grandfather with his responsibilities."" The smile on Pollux"s face melted away Sirius"s awkwardness and embarra.s.sment and the Dinner Table turned into a celebration for Sirius"s `Becoming an Adult Party". While thinking back to those moments, Ron was walking to the Runic research lab and upon arrival, immediately went to work. While he was busying himself with studying and research, someone silently Apparated into the room and tried to sneak up on him. But Ron hadn"t wasted the last two years of his life and amongst studying Runes, Potions, Spell Casting and even a little Alchemy, he hadn"t forgotten to train his Magic Sense. ``Grandpa Black, I know you are free now that Sirius and Remus are helping you. But this is not a good way for you to pa.s.s the time."" Turning around to face the stoic look on Pollux, like the old man wasn"t trying to scare him, he said, ``Now that you"re here, I need your help with this project of mine."" Looking at the excited look on Pollux"s face, Ron knew where the hyperactive gene of Sirius originated from. But he sent all those thoughts away and presented his work to Pollux, in hopes he could provide a solution for his predicament.
Pollux looked at the plan for a Mixed Magical Item, that combined the Magical branches of Runes, Potions and even Alchemy. He thought of what use this Item could have and when he realised, he looked at Ron and said, ``I knew you were going to look for a way but I didn"t think you would even come close to finding a starting point for years."" Ron looked at Pollux and replied, ``She doesn"t really have a lot of time and I don"t want her to spend her childhood sitting down and looking at others."" Pollux sighed and looked at the possible solution to Astoria and even the Greengra.s.s Family"s Blood Curse.
