CHAPTER 7
The ritual room an hour and a half later
"Everyone in position. You ready, Harry?" Jake asked as everyone started to form a circle around the room with Jake, Gibbs and Harry in the center around a shallow basin on an iron tripod. Harry nodded. "Gibbs?"
"Yes," Gibbs answered holding Harry a little tighter.
"Then we will begin," Jake said. "All you need to do is let three drops of blood fall into the basin after I pour the potion in." Jake laid a piece of parchment into the basin and the rest of his family started a soft chant in the back ground. Jake handed Gibbs a small knife then poured the potion onto the parchment.
Gibbs took a deep breath and pricked Harry's finger with the knife. He held Harry's hand over the basin so that the blood dropped onto the potion covered parchment. The parchment absorbed the blood and potion, as Harrys hand healed. Once all the potion and blood was soaked up the parchment rolled up and Jake took it out of the basin.
"Your turn Gibbs," Jake said and the process was repeated with Gibbs' blood. "Now all we need to do is get cleaned up again then you can go through these." Jake handed Gibbs both scrolls.
"That sounds good, any idea why I feel exhausted when I felt fine half an hour ago?" Gibbs asked.
"The spell in the potion and the chant uses the innate magic in the person who gives the blood. That is why the little one is already asleep," Riana said as she walked up to them and draped a blanket over Harry. Gibbs smiled his thanks.
"We all could use a break," Regan said as he walked up to them. "How about we meet in the dining room for dinner at 5?" Everyone nodded and started to leave.
"Your bags have been moved into the Green suite and a crib has been set up for Harry as well," Riana told Gibbs. "I can show you the way."
"Lead on," Gibbs said as he adjusted Harry into a more stable position.
Riana lead them to the second floor and to the double doors at the end of the hall. "These will be your rooms whenever you come here." She opened the doors to their rooms. They interred into a sitting room that was done in pale greens; there were two couches and a coffee table in front of the fireplace. There was a chess table with two chairs in between a couple of bookshelves, in front of a huge window stood a table with four chairs. There were three other doors leading off it the room. "The first door on the right is your bed room; the one next to it is the bathroom. The one on the left has been converted into a nursery. The rooms are connected to the bathroom." Riana explained as she handed him a booklet about accidental magic so that he could understand a bit more about his son's magic. "When you are ready to come down to dinner just call Mist she will lead you to the dining room." Gibbs thanked her as she left. Gibbs walked into the nursery and laid Harry down in the carved wood crib.
At 5 o'clock that night Gibbs had Mist lead him and Harry down to the dining room. "Thank you Mist," Gibbs said as he walked into the room.
"How are you doing Jethro?" Ducky asked.
"I am just waiting to find out about Harry's past and mine as well," Gibbs informed his friend. Gibbs sat the scrolls on the table, "I tried to read these but I don't fully understand the colors."
"There are different colors for different types of magic and different shades of color for different levels with in each type," Nessa explained. "The only color that dose not represent magic is black, and that is a magic in its self, it is the void of all but the magic commonly known as soul, Gaia, basic life."
" I think we should eat before looking at the scrolls," Ducky advised. Everyone agreed an sat down to eat then went back into the Meadownight Lounge
"First things first. The colors mean different things. As Aunt Nessa said earlier, black has only enough magic to sustain life. These are usually what are know as non-magic or muggle. The elemental magic are Yellow for air, red for fire, blue for water, green for earth, and white for Spirit. The next are the magic that don't need foci, no matter what they call themselves, Wicca, druid, gypsy or what not they are all purple. Now magic that needs foci such as a wand, staff or a crystal is orange. Magic Creatures are brown. The different shades show the varied strengths. Witch ever is the dominate magic is what color the name will be. Any other magic will show up as outlines. Sometimes a person can have more than one dominate magic then different letters will different colors. A wizard that can do magic with or without a foci will have the letters of their name alternate between purple and orange. There are other things that can be shown, but we will go over them as needed," Riana explained. "Now let's take a look."
Gibbs opened the scroll on the table so that everyone could take a look. As the scroll was opened it showed a wide variety of colors in all shades.
"It seems Gibbs that your family is very magical." Regan stated.
"So how come I don't have magic?" Gibbs asked
"See the interconnected color links around everyone on your mother's side?" Regan asked. Gibbs nodded. "That means that someone bound that side of your family. From what I see it goes back 8 generations. Your mother's family seen to be strong in elemental magic, we can do some research on them for you. Now your dad's side some of us have studied before they were one of the last remaining druid families till about 4 centuries ago when they vanished. They were strong believers in balance and true justice."
"I have a few questions. When you say bound, you mean like the baby binder that was on harry?" Gibbs asked.
"No what was on harry was meant to only last till it was removed or he could get some control, what is on your family is a family bind. You have heard of cursing someone and their children and their children's children will feel it?" Jake asked. Gibbs nodded. "Well that is what happened here."
Kara took over the explanations, "Now your dad's side is easy due to the fact that we already know a lot about it. About 400 years ago the last dependent of justice and balance a daughter married a non magical named Kocha Jealiv after the loss of their child they packed up and moved and all records were lost. Lets take a look at Harry's scroll. Let's hope that there aren't as many surprises on his as there were on yours."
As Harry's scroll was unrolled there were a few gasps. "Well that is strange." Kara stated.
"Harry's name looks like a rainbow," Ducky stated.
"Look at his uncle though," Max said.
"I don't recognize the name," Ducky stated.
"Severus Salazar Snape Prince is the youngest potions master in history. He teaches at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. By the lines connection his name to that of Lillian Alexis Meadownight Evans Potter, it appears that Lily adopted Him as her Blood Brother, the date shows Miss Lily and Severus would have been 8," Clare stated.
"That's not even the issue," Gibbs said quietly. Everyone looked at him in concerned at the tone in his voice.
"What is the issue, Jethro?" Ducky asked.
"Abigail Davis Meadownight Sciuto," Gibbs stated with finality.
"WHAT?" Ducky grabbed the scroll and sure enough there was Abby's name connected to Lily and Severus, even the date was the same showing that Abby was 3 at the time. "I thought she was from New Orleans?"
"She was adopted when she was 3 and does not remember her life before that time," Gibbs explained.
"Well then the only course I can see is getting in contact with this Severus Snape and find out what happened? First however we need to do the adoption," Kara stated.
"I will send for the Pack to go to this Severus Snape and ask him to come here," Jake said as he walked out the door.
"The Pack?" Gibbs asked.
"The Pack is what we call the born Lycans that have sanctuary here," Kara explained.
"While Jake talks to the Pack, let's see if we can get a new name for Harry," Clair stated.
"Well he does look like his uncle Richard," Nessa stated.
"The names, Matteo, Reilly, Brian, Darnell, Gavyn, and Grady are on both scrolls," Max pointed out.
