Chapter 7: Making a home

It had been six weeks now that Arwan, Evangeline and Keracher had moved to an island of Japan, right between Mikura Island and Izu Island. They had moved into a four-bedroom house, with basement and attic, as well as a medium sized garden big enough to fit a greenhouse yet leaving enough space for Arwan to play. It had come with a few wards, however Evangeline had to add many of her own, just in case anyone ever did figure out that Arwan had once been Harry Potter.

The witch had never realized what a tedious process moving in to a permanent place was, so used to moving around form place to place, she had never really bothered with packing and unpacking, easily living from her expandable trunk. With its several compartments, it fit her clothes and extensive library easily. The only thing that she had bothered to ever unpack and pack was her potion laboratory, because brewing inside the trunk wasn't something recommended by the manufacturer. Now however, she had had to buy furniture, crockery, pots and pans, cutlery and many other things, as well as child proof each room. Then there was the painting of walls, arranging of furniture's, putting everything away in its right full place, assigning each room a purpose.

At the end of the day she was very thankful to Keracher for his help and also for the existence of magic, or else it would have probably taken maybe more than a month to get moved in rather than the eight days that it had taken. Although to the ivory haired woman it felt as if the task had taken an eternity. Form the bottom up; the fair-haired witch had converted the basement into a potions laboratory, where as the ground floor contained the kitchen/dining room, living room and library. Then on the first floor, there was the guest bedroom, her office and guest bathroom. Where as the second floor contained the master bedroom and Arwan's room and finally the attic had been turned into a playroom, and the green house out in the garden.

In the end thought it had all been worth it, especially the extra effort she had put into Arwan's room, to see the little boys face light up when he saw the magical mural covered walls of his new bedroom, there was not other reward greater.

Torie Island, the home of most of Japan's magical community, was quite a large, housing Mahō no Ryūjin gakkō, [Ryūjin's school of magic]. Ryūjin had been a great and powerful wizard during early period of the Edo era [1603 – 1863]. He had founded the school as well as the dragon preserve on the other side of the island, deep in the mountains.

Their house was on the outskirts of Burūshiti a.k.a. Blue city, named because of the large lake nearby, with its clear blue water. Therefore Torie Island made the perfect place to hide and train; there was also a Gringott's branch in the city, making it easy to manage all of Arwan's finances.

After much consideration Evangeline had decided on the island for several reason, one of which was that Dumbledore had no influence in Japan and it's magical community. In fact seeing as Muggle Japan had been on the opposite side of World War Two [though its magical community had stayed neutral], magical Japan had suffered greatly for it, therefore Dumbledore would get no help from the islanders.

Another reason to move to the island was because of its amazing educational opportunities that were available to magical children; Ryūjin's school of magic provided an excellent education for children from the age of one all the way to university level, much like their Muggle counterparts. Though children couldn't learn magic until the age of eleven, to allow their magic core to develop, the primary level of Ryūjin helped young children develop skills that helped them learn magic quicker and give them a better understanding of magic, such as Occlumancy a process of organizing and clearing thoughts, meditation and protecting the mind form intruders, [it was mostly a thought process] and had little to do with magic, though its counter part Legilimency [the reading of minds] required the use of magic therefore leading to the misconception that Occlumancy was also magic.

The children were also taught martial arts form a young age for physical fitness, which was important for the development of strong magical cores and pathways, also a healthy body could bare the force of stronger magic and stamina was important in duels.

Thirdly, the residents of Torie Island were integrated with Muggle culture, as Japan's magical society believed that Muggle knowledge was important to blend in among them, and also because Muggle Japan was such an innovative place it inspired wizarding Japan to be creative too, to create new spells, tools, potions, etc.

And as Evangeline sat out in the garden enjoying the nice weather, watching her son play ball with his stuffed toys, she knew that she would do anything to protect her young charge.
