Chapter 7

Disclaimer ~ I do not own Katekyo or Harry Potter

Verde's meeting with the goblins went smoothly. He was able to acquire an international portkey that had adjustable locations. He merely had to enter a place and it would take him to the closest, muggle free area.

Another thing he discussed with them was selling his inventions through them, at least until he found Viper again. He even brought a few samples of his ideas. He didn't have many proper inventions as of yet but that would be remedied soon enough. The main thing he had worked on these last two weeks were potions.

His improved Wolfsbane potion was one of the first things he brewed. Cut down on the pain of the transformation, fully allowed you to keep your mind, and only needed to be taken the day of the full moon instead of the whole week beforehand. Verde had toyed with this recipe about fifteen years after Remus had died. Renamed the Lupine potion in his honor, this potion was available for werewolf's who had a similar situation to Remus. It was cheap enough that all werewolves could afford it. It took him a long while before he could find someone willing to test it for him but once he did the potion became a huge success among the wolves.

Another thing Verde showed the goblins was his plans for communication devices. Cell phones for the muggle world and crystal necklaces for the magical one. The cell phones were simply waiting for technology to advance a little more. He planned to ease the muggles into it. The crystals were another matter entirely.

"It's quite simple actually," Verde explained. "The crystal charms come in two parts. The receiver and the transmitter. The transmitter is the larger charm. You speak into it and are able to send messages or 'call' anyone linked to your necklace. Merely state their name, wait for them to accept your call, and then talk away. By using the word text before saying the name of who you wish to contact, you can send a message that the recipient can listen to at a later time. The receiver is the detachable smaller charm. It can also double as an earring for those who wish. You accept calls and texts through the receiver. Hold it close to your ear and you can hear the message without others overhearing. Should you wish, you can make it louder for a hands free communication option. Simply say Speaker and the message will be much louder. If you have multiple people wishing to talk as a group instead of individually through the crystals then having one put the call on speaker is the solution. Linking crystals is similar to how muggles share phone numbers. You merely have to say the correct word, in this example it would be Link and then the name of the person you are linking, and touch your transmitter crystal against theirs and they will be linked," Verde explained. This was something he had made about fifty years into the future. The crystals ran on magic or flames and would only communicate with other crystals linked to them.

"When will you have a prototype?" Ragnok asked curiously. He and another goblin, Arrowhead, were looking at him in interest. Arrowhead was to be in charge of Verde's new vault, which would hold all the profits of his inventions.

"I will have a testable copy in approximately a month. I merely need to get the crystals and the tools to make them into jewelry," Verde answered. He already had the rune formula prepared and the method to make them. He could get the jewelry aspect after he left the bank. It was finding the appropriate crystals that was difficult.

Both goblins nodded and Verde continued to show his other inventions. He only had two other items completed at this time. A levitation potion, which allowed the drinker to hover three feet off the ground for an hour and a disillusionment cap, the wearer would be immediately placed under the disillusionment spell while wearing the hat.

All four ideas were met with approval. The goblins would patent the ideas and sell them while Verde would make (with the assistance of his two new minions) them. The next meeting was in six weeks, allowing Verde to stockpile three of the inventions and to work on the fourth.

However, the most amusing part of the day came when he returned to the hotel. He entered his trunk and found both Remus and Sirius in the kitchen area. Sirius was attempting to die of laughter on the floor while Remus was reading the Daily Prophet. Verde raised an eyebrow in the direction of his godfather but ultimately decided to ignore him when Remus gave him the paper.

The headline was what Verde expected. Sirius Black, innocent! Peter Pettigrew alive! The article proceeded to cover the trial and the circumstances around it. Verde suddenly understood just why both marauders were amused. Dumbledore was playing damage control.

"In response to the rumors circulating my act of composure during the trial I wish to clarify that I was not angry at Sirius. No, I was angry at myself. I allowed myself to believe that Sirius was the villain when I should have known better. Yes, I did cast the Fidelius around the Potter's home and made Peter the secret keeper. I had believed that Sirius forced Peter to reveal the secret to Voldemort before he killed him and those muggles. I see now I should have had more faith in Sirius and not have allowed my grief to cloud my judgement in the matter," was the statement Dumbledore gave to the press.

"And people are buying this bullshit?" Verde asked, which sent Sirius into another round of laughter.

"Language," Remus chided, although he was smiling at the comment as well.

"Hush. I'm older than both of you combined. I can say whatever I want."

And chapter seven has been completed! This fic is on its way to becoming my most popular one and it's awesome.

Once I get to a certain point in this I plan to start on other Harry is X Arcobaleno. I have definite plans on how it can work for Colonello, Lal, Luche, and Skull. And I am working on the plans for the others just for the hell of it. But those fics won't be posted until I reach a certain point in this fic. I know my brain, if I start on another I'll forget about the ones I have already started.

Thanks to everyone who's checked out this fic! Please continue to enjoy it and leave reviews!
