HHH
"So what exactly is the plan," Colin asked curiously as Luna laid cuddling into his side. "I mean you said we had jobs when this was over." It was the night following their graduation and both the two younger teens were excited to no longer be trapped at Hogwarts.
Neville laughed handing them both a butterbeer. "Sort of...or a mix of jobs if you would like them."
"How about you use your words to explain," Luna said in a more normal voice, one without the mask she wore at Hogwarts. She was among friends here.
Harry took a seat beside her boyfriend, "Do you know how much one seed from an aferdevic plant goes for," Harry asked curiously.
"No clue but I am sure you will tell me," Colin said taking a gulp glad he was finally able to see his friends again, school had been so much worse once they were graduated.
Neville the herbology expert was the one to answer, "10 galleons for a small seed," Neville said shocking him since 10 galleons was a lot of money. "The bark of the tree, a two-inch by two-inch slab, fifty galleons."
Now Colin was very interesting, "So we are becoming Herbologists?"
"Already am one," Neville stated, "certified two weeks ago. But these plants take a very specific magic to grow...in the middle of vast rain forests."
"Which lots of unseen magical creatures very rarely photographed," Harry added. "There's what is considered a 'magical' rainforest. It has almost purely magical creatures. It has muggle creatures as well but no muggle can see it as it's on a magical hot spot."
Colin was slightly confused, "you're the geniuses, explain magical hotspots for me."
"Magical hotspots are surrounded with ambient magic. Hogwarts is built on one. The area wouldn't be on muggle maps and if muggles by some chance get there they won't see it. Its surrounded by an aura only wizards can see. I'm sure some muggles have been there, but muggle equipment would self-destruct and so theirs very minimal notice."
Colin got where this was leading, "So you want us to come with you both to get these plants."
"No, it's not only that," Harry stated. "We are...higherable consultants. Both of us have certificates in warding, cursebreaking, wardbreaking, herbology...among other things. We want to explore the world. Gringotts was willing to be a connection so if things need done or sort of jobs we are willing to consider consulting. Neville truthfully wants to document rare and unusual plant life. We are collecting things to pay for the trip and get enough to someday travel the entire world."
Colin and Luna grinned, "rainforest, could be dangerous," Colin stated.
Both Harry and Neville grinned, "that's guaranteed. We all may not make it out alive."
"So, when do we leave," Colin asked without hesitation as Luna grinned brightly.
Neville pulled out some papers, "we need to get these things first. We guessed that to get anywhere...we are thinking maybe six months in the forests. We will need to be prepared for six months in the forest."
"Maybe dad will publish some of the things we write about our adventure," Luna suggested excitedly.
Harry grinned, "Uncle Moony offered to as well, to speak to a publisher friend he knows for Neville. Neville wants to Document plants, but I've always wanted to travel the world and write about it. I know you were always interested in writing a new document on creatures. Colin...well you're interested primarily in photography but well."
"Oh, don't worry, I am all for it," Colin said since it was an amazing opportunity. "How would we bring all these things with us?"
The list was extensive, Magical tents, weapons since wands were one thing but they had no idea what they would meet. Clothing but also texts they needed. Harry grinned bringing out large backpacks. "Expansive charms. We got them mostly set. We've got four months easy of food but we also know what's edible in most cases so two months may be iffy but we thought four months would be good. Waters a big thing. Aguemente charms not the best water but we have most packed. And the books. Now it's just medicated potions in case something horrid happens. First aid kits and what you both need."
They nodded, "We can have that ready in a week, week sound good lu," Colin asked curiously.
She nodded quickly, "Yeah we can be ready to go in a week."
"We need to buy a stasis trunk for plants," Neville stated, "As well as the potions so we will spend the next week doing that."
"Will one trunk be enough, you can't overly expand it without damaging the plants."
Harry looked to Neville, "Will one be enough?"
"They are about 1,000 galleons a piece," he stated.
"Worth the money, buy three and we will fill them, triple what we spent," Harry said as they began making plans.
