Scene Ten

Home construction

"Hey could you give me the hammer, please?" Sirius handed his godson the hammer without seeing as he himself was busy. "Moony, could you shift the wood to the left a bit more? Thanks," He nailed the spike carefully on the wood.

"Need help?" Arthan offered.

"Yeah, set up that pair of wooden window to its place, there—the hole nears the entrance." Harry pointed up. Sirius handed the man a hammer spikes, and some hinges.

"Don't nail your own finger, buddy!" Sirius joked as Arthan chuckled dryly. "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" he waved his finger painfully then licked them.

"Watch your own hand, Padfoot!" Remus admonished. But his twitching mouth and twinkling eyes betrayed him. Arthan and Harry laughed.

"Guess that the hammer loves you more than Arthan," Harry teased as his godfather glared menacingly.

"Honestly, why can't I just charm these damn hammers and other things to build the house on their own? We don't have to be so busy like this! It will be easier and faster," Sirius grumbled under his breath. This was the fifteenth time for today only. And it was still in the afternoon. Not to mention how many times he hammered his own hand since the construction 2 weeks ago.

"A, a, a!" Remus waved his finger showing him that he didn't agree. "No magic! Magic only make you lazier, besides building your own house with your own strength is more gratifying."

"Magic is part of your own strength," he protested.

"Padfoot…," he threatened.

"Alright, alright! Sheesh, someone slept in wrong position last night."

"Are you trying to fight with me?"

"If I am?" he challenged. "Okay! Okay! No need of violence here."

"Food, everybody?" Faran and 4 other girls brought a basket each full of foods.

"Ah, Faran! You're my safer! God bless you!" Sirius leaped from his place. In no time he ate his lunch hungrily.

"Padfoot, slow down," Remus chuckled seeing his friend.

"Can't, tu ungri!" he told him with a mouthful of food in his mouth.

"Can't believe I see another Ron here," Harry shook his head. Sirius spun around.

"Ow?"

"You eat like a pig. Same with Ron," Remus answered.

"I en't pik!" he objected.

"I said 'like a pig', not 'you're pig', moron."

"So, how's the food, Harry?" Faran asked with a smile on her face ignoring the other two overgrown babies.

"It's good, but maybe you can add some salt for the soup," he said expertly. Well… being a slave nearly 14 years in the Dursleys and had to cook for their food, he could claim that he was a decent cook.

"You know?" Harry turned to her. "You should be the one who cook all of this not us. You're a better cook than even the women in the city." She muttered.

"Uh, thanks," he flushed. The four women giggled.

"Why don't you teach us?" one of the women, a blonde with shoulder hair and deep blue eyes, named Hestia asked. Her face was 3 inch from his face, made him mystified.

"Hey, lady! Don't seduce an innocent lad," Arthan scolded mockingly from where he was sitting.

"Leave me alone, you mother fucker!" she retorted. He and some other men whistled. Sirius and Remus stopped whatever they're bickering over to see.

"Wow, never know that you're one of the swearing types, Hest." Delan grinned naughtily.

"Remember your wife, brother. Your eyes could get out of your socket," another girl with brown hair that reached her knee, warned.

"My! I think you get me wrong, Delia," he clutched his chest pretended to be hurt at his sister's saying. All were laughing.

Then out of nowhere Caracas came in. "Hey, guys! I have made a new invention on how to build your house easier!"

"I gotta go back to my own job," Delan hastily leaved from the place.

"Me too," Arthan said.

"Sorry, I'm very busy right now."

"Bye, Caracas!" another was leaving.

"Ups, better get going."

"Damn, I have still many jobs to do with the house. See you later."

Everybody was leaving with excuses except the women who stared at him mockingly. "Wait up! I assure you it won't be dangerous!"

Faran and other women could hear someone said, "Not dangerous his ass!" and "Easier? He must mean that the house will be easier to be destroyed like 6 days ago."

"Wow, Caracas. Still not give up since the destruction 6 days ago?" Faran mocked.

"Hey! It was accident. This time it is excellent!"

"Could have fooled me," Tanche, a red haired woman whispered to her friends.

"Are you trying to destroy the house once more? Do you get it in your 'super' brain that because of your 'excellent' invention, the house which should have been finished 5 days ago was demolished? With all the workers here, the house should have finished days ago, but no" Faran trailed up, "You have to test your invention despite our objections! And now we have to build it from the beginning."

"Well… I'm sorry," he sulked, all groaned to see him like this, again. "Hey, I can help them hammering the spikes!"

"Well… that would be not too dangerous," she agreed. Damn that hopeful eyes! "I think!" she added afterwards.

He whooped happily and quickly went to the other workers.

"Do you think it is safe?" Hermia asked doubtfully.

"I hope, for all's sake and especially his, it is safe." Tanche watched him apprehensively.

"Why don't you three go back first? I still have an issue here," Delia, Hestia, Tanche, and Hermia nodded and waved goodbye to the workers.

"What's up? Do you forget something?" asked Harry who right now was helping Arthan to place the window.

"Nah! I just want to see the house," Faran waved him off. "Where are the furnitures?"

"Still in the city, Kaluga's workroom. Thank God we didn't bring it in the first place, so they weren't broken when Caracas decided to use our house as guinea pig," Remus answered as he dropped some planks.

"Where is he?" Sirius asked carefully.

"Who? Oh, him," she realized who he was talking about. "He said he wanted to help nailing the spikes—"

"WHAT? Are you CRAZY? You let him do that?" Harry's godfather squealed in fear. He almost asked where he was when a sound of something broke up disrupted him. "What the?"

"CARACAS!" yelled an angry voice which was belonged to Delan.

Remus slapped his forehead. "Not again…"

"What did he smash up this time?" Harry shook his head exasperatedly.

"SEE!" Sirius yelled angrily.

The trio, Arthan, and Faran went to the voice source. They saw 5 people including Delan were scolding Caracas who now had a panicked look. When they saw the problem: a rather big hole in the wooden wall, they all groaned tiredly.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do it!" he apologized profusely.

"Still think that we shouldn't use magic for this?" Sirius turned to his friend. His hand was crossed in front of his chest and he sent an annoyed look at him.

"Allright, but just for this, okay?" Remus sighed. "Reparo," and with that the broken pieces of wood fixed itself and now there was no indication that it was broken before.

All were gawking, except the three wizards. Their eyes rested on the previous hole, the trio, and back again at the hole. "That's… amazing." Faran murmured. The others nodded in agreement though their eyes also held annoyance, beside the obvious awe.

"Thanks," Remus took the wand back to its holster.

"Hey, Moony, could you make me a holster like yours and Sirius'?" Harry glanced at the wand holster in his forearm.

"I think we can make it, if we still haven't forgotten how," Remus answered. His face cheered up.

"Why don't you just use your magic to build the house so it will be easier?" asked Delan curiously. He felt rather annoyed that he easily repaired it back in no time.

"We—"

"Remus only actually, who decide that."

"Shut up, Padfoot! We—damn it! Okay!—I wanted to make us more accustomed with muggles' or non magical folk's way, It isn't like we can always rely on our magic, and what if our wands were taken?"

"You mean you can't use your magic without your wands?" he tilted his head. Caracas breathed deeply, obviously relieved that they forgot about him.

"We can still use it but only in small scale. We can't do complicated spell without…it…" Sirius' eyes widened. "Speaking of which, I just remember that you, Harry, make a Patronus spell wandless!" He pointed to the dark haired boy.

Harry gaped. "I did?" he himself didn't really remember what happened after he was shot by the poisoned arrow.

"Yes, that was amazing feat, pup! Even Dumbledore who like to show whatever wandless magic he had to everyone, never made that kind of advanced spell wandless!"

"Are you sure you weren't mistaken?" Harry asked dubiously.

"Your wand was tossed rather faraway from you," Remus told him.

"WOW!"

"So this lad over here is powerful?" Delan asked doubtfully. He sneaked a glance at the thin boy.

"Uh-huh. Just a little untrained, my friend. We will shape him up in no time," Sirius rubbed his hand eagerly making Harry nervous.

"Faran, when you go home, could you tell Kaluga that we will finish the house today? We only need to set up the doors and windows," Remus asked her.

"Sure. Well I better go now. There are still some bread in the basket. Eat it!" She then leaved them after exploring the house which consisted of 5 bedrooms (3 for the trio and other 2 for guest rooms), a kitchen, a dining room, a meeting room, a storage room, the weapon room, and a bathroom (AN: I didn't really know if the people in Middle Earth even had bathroom or not. But this is a story and I am its author, so I can do whatever I want )

Harry adjusted his glasses and the clothes that were lent by Doran's son, Narda. "Hey Harry, I have been wanting to ask you for long about that. What is the twin glass in your face used for?" Caracas asked interestedly.

"My sight isn't too good. Glasses helped me to see well."

"How so?" that thing was interesting.

"I don't really know myself. I'm not very good at physic—it's a branch of knowledge which was learning about kind like this," Harry told him. Of course since he never went to normal muggle school and learn about muggle's knowledge after he was 11 years old didn't help the fact.

"Can't your magic correct your vision?"

"Yes, it can. But that's a very advanced magic and only an excellent healer could do it," Moony explained to Delan.

"What will happen if his glasses disappeared or thrown out in the battle then?" he asked cautiously. "If that happen it will put him on disadvantage."

"Er…," the trio couldn't answer that question. They just realized that glasses would be Harry's weakness in battle. "We'll think about the solution later."

Delan shrugged. "Just wanted to warn you that the thing will hinder him in sword handling." Then he changed the topic. "So, how are you three familiarizing with the city? Doran was the one who hosted you, right?"

"Yes, he was. Well, I-we were acquainted with some people, mostly the rangers, and children who were very interested with our magic. Everyone was friendly and we didn't have any problem so far. The full moon will come in a week and the house should be ready at the time, so I don't think we have to worry over that."

"Good then," Delan approved.

"Yeah. And I admit that this place was very beautiful and will be appropriate training field. The lake wasn't too far and so was the city. Beside we were given 3 beautiful stallion that thanks God didn't hate Remus, and me so they have no reason to throw us from their backs," All were laughing.

"Ah those horses were from excellent breeding. They were equivalent to the Rohan' horses which were famous for the speed. Those three were wild and they're not letting just anyone ride them. I myself and others were surprised to see them allow you two ride them seeing the fact that other horses like to throw you."

"I'm not sure that you praise me. It sounds more like you make fun of me," Sirius snorted.

"I wasn't praising you," he said.

"Oh"

"Why don't you two 5 years old kids just do your jobs in silence?" Remus suggested with a frown. The two quickly went back to their jobs.

The workers were setting the doors and windows to the house till the evening in such a speed that everything was done before the sun set on the west.

"At last it is done." Sirius stretched his sore muscles.

"Yep. Just left the cleaning and filling it with furniture tomorrow," Remus observed the house satisfied. It was a rather big house with a fireplace on the center right in the meeting room. The outside was still in mess with all the tools, wood, rocks and other things. But those would be handled tomorrow. "Let's go back now. Thanks for all of your helps."

"No need Remus. Caracas, get back here, before you destroy the house!" shouted Delan.

"I won't destroy it!"

"Sorry, but I don't believe you. You are an excellent ranger, but you're a looser in this kind of thing. We're not the orcs for Valar's sake." Delan grunted.

TBC………

See you in the next scene: Remus' Transformation. The update will be delayed since I haven't finished that chapter. Infact after this chapter, the next ones will not come out soon. Sorry guys…

Reply:

athenakity: they will join in the 2nd war against Sauron, so I guess until Aragorn was crowned as the Gondor king. And as you have read, each of them got a horse on their own that won't throw them. Er… the Dursleys? What about them? I didn't even think about them when I made this fic

Shadowed Rains: No, English isn't my native language and it isn't used daily in my country. My English teacher in junior and senior high school didn't really teach students much about grammar, so that's why I'm not proficient enough. Actually according to them I'm better than most of the students in school (He…3x). I know that to people that used English as their 1st language, I'm bad, but oh well. I tried to improve my writing skill from reading other people' fics, but as you can see not all fics out there have good grammar. And about beta, Allyana has offered to be this story's beta.

Spezlee: Actually, I only read some of the scenes in LotR books, not all of them (I didn't have the books). The movie that I watched in other hand, really helped me. I got the name accurate because I copied the maps from the books. I don't know much about LotR actually, beside the names of the main characters, like Fellowship of the ring, Elrond and family, Rohan royal family, and Boromir's family. Other than that my knowledge about LotR is completely blank and I have to read about the history of middle earth from the end of book 3 (return of the king). Unfortunately I read that long time ago, and now I forgot about it… again…

Webweaver: no, actually I won't make any scene of prank at all.
