Once again, the three wizards were surprise that their savior couldn't see. He sure knew how to bluff because they couldn't tell until just a few minutes ago. He walked and acted like nothing was wrong if he was talking to someone, he looked them right in the eye.
Dohko replied, "Shiryu has been blind since he was fourteen years old. At the time that he lost his sight he had to fight people who was after his brothers, his goddess, and his life. Knowing this he trained himself to sense his surroundings and using the cosmos to tell where something or someone is. He became a good tracker because of his lost sight. That was how we were able to find you since your magical signature was blocked."
James said, "Okay once again Dumbledore lied to us Lily. Apparently, our son was not raised by your sister and her nasty husband."
Shiryu sighed and said, "Actually he was raised with them until the age of four and half almost five. They got relocated for a few months in China and abandoned him in my training grounds known as Lushan. We adopted him at the age of five and been raising him since. This is going to be his first year at Hogwarts and I'm starting to worry about letting him go."
Shunrei nodded as she said, "Shiryu, don't forget that we still need to set up a date to meet Augusta Longbottom."
Lily who remembered her old friend Alice who married Frank Longbottom asked, "Why do you need to meet Augusta?"
Shiryu sighed and said, "I never knew my mom I was always told that she died in childbirth. I lived with my father up until I was eight when he sent me to Lushan China. I was trained there to be a knight until I was fourteen. That was when I found out that my father died when I was nine and never notified. I also found out that I had 99 half-brothers that year too. Only 9 survived and just two days ago I found out that Augusta Longbottom is my mother who is still alive and that I have another half-brother named Frank Longbottom. Apparently, Frank is incapacitated."
James looked shocked he became close to Frank and Alice when they did Auror training together. What happen is their little boy okay?"
Shunrei replied, "From what we heard from Sharp Axe and Amelia was that Frank and Alice were torturer to insanity a little after your capture. Neville lives with his Grandmother and from what the inheritance test showed is fine. I'll write to Augusta and ask when her next availability is to meet up with us. Also, we still need to take Mushu to get his school supplies. School starts in three weeks."
Remus, Lily, and James all noticed the date and said, "Happy late birthday Mushu."
Mushu looked at the three and said, "Thanks, but I don't actually celebrate my birthday. Since we live in the mountains and my uncles never were around children, so they have no idea how to throw a party,"
Shiryu replied, "We know how to throw a party. We ask what you want to do for your birthday and you always say that you don't know, and we end up training anyways. Also, we just picked July 20 the day that we were able to officially adopt you."
Lily looked at her son and said, "Well then we can always celebrate your birthday on any day that you want, but next year you'll have friends, and we can throw a real birthday party."
Shunrei was irritated with these wizards. She had raised Mushu since he was four and knew what type of boy he was. She also didn't want them to steal him from her as she loved the boy more than anything except her husband. Her husband spoke true about Mushu not wanting a big party since he loved to be outdoors, and train and he only knew his uncles. Problem of being isolated. Hell, they didn't even celebrate their birthday they just see it as any other day.
James saw the way that Shunrei looked and figured that it was what his wife had said to their son. James said, "Shunrei, we aren't trying to steal Mushu from you. He's as much yours as he is ours. We lost our son when he was one and Lily is trying to make up for all those years. We don't even know what we are going to do or where we are going to live. I was an auror before we went into hiding. Lily was a healer but stopped when she had Harry."
Dohko said, "We aren't totally sure what we are going to do. We were planning on going back to China while Mushu was off at school but knowing what Dumbledore has done makes me less comfortable being far from the problem."
Shunrei just put paper into her lap and was writing to Augusta Longbottom since she really did want her to meet her eldest son and get to know her adoptive grandson. She had listened and said, "James, if you guys want why don't you just stay here with us until we figure out what we are going to do. Plus, if we decided to go to China then you could come with us, and this way our son wouldn't have to choose who to stay with. Plus, if Lily wants, she could be our official healer, Athena knows we need one."
Dohko said, "That's for sure how many times we get injured and most of us are too proud and stubborn to go to a doctor."
Shiryu spoke up, "Speak for your self Dohko. The only reason why I don't go to the doctor is because I am fine. Now if I just happen to fall unconscious or am bleeding a massive amount of blood then yes get me to a doctor; because then we got something to worry about."
Mushu replied, "The only way that we can get Papa to a doctor is by threating to sicking Athena on him; or knocking him out which isn't advisable by the doctors."
Lily smiled at the by play of these adults. They never talked over each other and allow them to finish before they talked. What amused her the most was that you never knew what was about to come out of their mouth.
James asked, "Why would this Athena person cause so much fear in a person first that one guy that Shiryu was arguing with had stated that Athena had him on a time schedule and now that they threaten you with her to get you to the doctors?"
Shiryu replied, "Let me explain what I am and what my job is. I am Libra no Shiryu which translate into Shiryu of the Libra star. I am the gold knight of Athena. Athena is our goddess I have known her since she was a baby as I am one year older than her. Our childhood was rough as my father doted on her. I never had a pleasant experience living with my father as did any of my other 99 half-brothers. Back to the explanation every knight must listen to what Athena has to say. Going against her is a death sentence. She gives missions and we do them no questions asked, unless it goes against our morals then we ask. To understand where we stand, we have different ranks.
The lowest rank is the students. As I stated they are students they train to become one of the 88 knights of Athena. Not all make it some die during training others train all their lives and never get the cloth. You only have six years to gain a cloth after that you won't get the cloth. Not many people know this.
The second rank is Bronze knight. They are the considered the weakest knights since they can only go to mock 1. They have limited ability with the cosmos but with enough training and understanding they can become stronger. They do have the ability to make their bronze become a sliver knight. A bronze knight's motto is Leave no one behind.
The third rank is Silver knight. They can reach up to mock 5 in power. They are much stronger than a bronze knight. It is said that they are good with assassinations but I'm not sure. Like I had stated with enough time and energy a bronze can become a silver knight or change their bronze cloth into a silver. If they change their cloth to a silver when they die or give their cloth up it goes back to a bronze cloth. Their motto is all for one or one for all.
The fourth rank is Gold knight. Gold knights are the elite and can reach to the speed of light. They are the strongest as they have mastered the seventh sense. There is only 12 gold at any given time. The gold knights are from the zodiac symbols and you cannot change a sliver cloth to a gold cloth. I am now one as I was trained by the last gold knight Libra no Dohko. I got the cloth a few years ago. The gold knights guard the way to Athena and the Pope and are the true power of Athena. Our motto is to be the best you got to bet the rest or to be the best you got to be the best. The translation was lost years ago and we're all too lazy to find what it was supposed to be, so we have our own mottos now.
We also have a Legendary class. It is the last class of knights and only given to those who truly deserves it. You must get the blood of Athena to awaken the god form of your cloth. Not everyone can do this even if their cloth is soaked in Athena's blood. As far as I know only Me, Ikki, Seiya, Shun, Hyoga, and the other current gold knights have accomplished this feat. We never let people know that we are the few Legendary knights as we like the element of surprise when they think that we are weaker because we were all bronze knights."
Lily was shocked with the difference of the attacks to be able to go from mock 1 to mock 5 was a big leap. It made her wonder where she laid on that map of power or if she even would make the grid. It also made her wonder about Mushu he was raised by these people so it was possessable that he would also be a knight but at which level.
James replied, "That's all great but, how does Mushu fit into all of this?"
Mushu replied, "I am the bronze saint Dragon. Like my adoptive papa was."
Lily sighed as she said, "Mushu, your father wasn't trying to annoy you. He just wanted to know if you were in with this whole knight business. James, I just realized tomorrow we need to go to the ministry, the bank, and the hospital to prove that we are still alive and well."
Dohko replied, "Like you said you can do it tomorrow since it's quite late now."
Shunrei had just hung up the phone and said, "Pizza will be here in a few minutes."
Mushu went to go change into different clothes and wash up for dinner. Shunrei was wondering how she was going to mail off the letter when James said, "Wait until tomorrow and I will take you to the mail delivery shop where we can mail it off to Augusta."
Shiryu just retook out his book that he was reading. Seiya had found it and gave it to Shiryu as a gag gift since he couldn't read it seeing as it only had bumps on the page. Shiryu had decided not to tell his stupid younger brother and leader of his group that the book was in brille and that it was a history of the knights. He was hoping to find out something about his beloved dragon cloth but to no prevailed. Dragon was only mentioned but nothing was stated just that it was a missing cloth.
The next day Shunrei was woken up to her bed shaking once again. She sighed as she looked over at her husband and started to calm him down and wake him up peacefully. As it was still quite early the two went downstairs. Shunrei started to make breakfast while Shiryu talked to his wife. One thing that kept bothering him was how easy it was to get the adult Potters out. He decided that they should get checked by the goblins. Dohko heard them and said, "I think you all should get checked out. Shiryu we don't know the whole situation with you being moved from your mother to live with your father. With Shunrei we only know that she was kidnapped at birth, so her magic could have been tampered with."
Shiryu just said, "Thinking that she is stronger than she already is, is a scary thought."
Shunrei glared at her husband before she turned around to keep an eye out on the food.
Suddenly they heard a loud male scream. Shunrei sighed and said, "It looks like you're not the only one who has to deal with nightmares koi."
Shiryu pouted even though he agreed with his wife at least he doesn't scream he just makes earthquakes in his room.
James woke up screaming from another nightmare which wasn't uncommon. Lily just rubbed his back telling him that he was safe and that was all that matters. As the two adults got up and ready for the day, James was hoping to get to talk to his son and see what he truly was like. He hoped that he liked pranking people but from what he could see he didn't see that happing. He figured that he was more like his mother and loving to help others. Then again, he was trained to fight and seem to look up to his adoptive parents and acted a lot like the one he called his papa. James wasn't jealous he just hoped that he got to have a relationship like that with his son.
Dohko looked at Shiryu and could see that he was having nightmares once again. In this case it would be bad if Shiryu didn't lose some of the tension before their guest sees him. He walked over to him and nudged him in the arm and pointed Shiryu's arm to the back door. Shiryu got up knowing what his sensei was telling him. It wasn't the first time that he had to train or just do something before seeing people when he had nightmares. The last time it happened well let's say that Pope Shion wasn't to thrill with him. It did happen to show Pope Shion that even if he couldn't see that he was still a powerhouse with exceptionally good reflexes especially when he was already weary from nightmares.
Lily and James came down about five minutes later both were showered and dressed. Lily seeing Shunrei looking outside with a smile on her face went to go see what she was staring at. Lilly smiled as she tried not giggle at the scene before her. Shiryu was doing vertical pushups with a goblin size man standing on his feet either talking to him or counting how many he did. Shunrei looked back at the stove and turned over the pancakes and said, "Lily, James can one of you please go and wake Mushu breakfast is almost done."
Lily went towards the stairs as James had gone to the pantry to get the plates and other utensils you needed to set the table. As Lilly got up the stairs, she was still having trouble knowing that her son wasn't raised by them all these years and had thought they were dead. As she reached his room, she quietly opens the door and saw him sleeping peacefully. She went over to him and tried to shake him awake. All she got for her trouble was a swipe from his hand. She decided that desperate measures were needed and said, "Mushu, you are late for training."
Mushu only heard late and training and he was up and dressed and downstairs before Lily could even blink. Lily walked back downstairs in a complete daze wondering how one person could move that fast. When she made it to the kitchen, she saw four confused adults listening to a teen apologize for being late for a training he didn't even had. James saw his wife and knew that she was the reason why the child was apologizing for.
Lily said, "If I knew he would cause this much of a scene, I would have done something different."
Shiryu sighed and said, "What did you tell him?"
Lily replied, "I just told him that he was late for training. I didn't think he would overreact this much. I learned in Hogwarts how to get the Marauders up early. James and Sirius were always easy tell them that they were late for the latest Quidditch match and they would get up. Easy on school days when they didn't want to go to class. Peter, I would just tell him that I would send in some of the other girls' cats and he was up. Remus I just told him that he was late for class and he would get up. Then when I was in the fourth year the professor needed me to get Severus Snape up, so I told him that his cauldron in the Great Hall was about to exploded. I think that was my most genius plan to date."
Mushu just sat down and filled his plate he loved his mom's cooking it was the best. He also knew it was going to be a long day since they were going to hopefully get his school supplies if the bank didn't take too long again.
As they made it to the alley thankfully James had called a cab when Lily went to go and wake Mushu up. James stopped the group as he saw the owl mail service. He showed Shunrei how to send her letter to Augusta Longbottom. After that they went towards the bank. On the way there Mushu found out that his father James liked to pull pranks and was most of the time the brains of all the pranks pulled. He also found out about the Marauders and their highly dependable map.
As they finally reached the bank Mushu was thankful because he really wanted to get his school supplies. He knew that both sets of parents didn't want him at Hogwarts but keeping quiet about it. Something about it having to be his decision if he choose not to go. As they got to one of the bankers James slide a letter that he had in his pocket. The goblin quickly read it before telling them to follow him. When they made it to Sharp Axe's office the goblin opened the door and let them in.
Sharp Axe was waiting in his office relooking over all the paperwork of the Potter's accounts. He knew that James would want to see how his accounts were holding since his disappearance 11 years ago. As he was looking over the paperwork, he heard somebody knocking on the door. He allowed them entrance as he once again looked at the paper. When he heard the door shut again, he gave his audience his full attention. He smiled at the elder Potters and gave them a gesture to sit. As the group sat Shiryu said, "Before anything important is spoken it would be wise to have all of us go through a cleaning ritual since we don't really know what enchantments were on that house or what was put on us when we were kidnapped or in my case taken from my mother."
Sharp Axe smiled as he looked on to the young man that he was starting to like each time he met them. Sharp Axe got up and told the others to follow him to the ritual room. He was going to offer doing it but was beaten to the punch. As they walked Sharp Axe said, "I never got around to telling you, but I do know about the Knights of Athena. When I was young, I saw a battle that a knight showed up in and since I had been fascinated by them. I started to study what I could, but there isn't that much information about them."
Dohko replied, "It's for the best that there isn't much on our job. We are normally isolated from society. Some do live in small villages while others will live in the city or towns. We only show our knights self when the world is in danger and Athena calls on us. Shiryu is one that lives in isolation and goes to Athena when called. He does tend now to go and actually check on the temple every couple of months and to see his brothers."
Shiryu nodded as he was now processing how he was going to split up his time with his family, brothers, and now mother. He didn't think that there were enough days in the month to do that. He figured that he could only go to Greece for a weekend and then spend a few days with his mother to learn the history of his family.
Shiryu said, "As long as you promise not to tell anyone else about the knights, I can give you a bit of our history as you have been trustworthy so far. Our history is known in the world but only parts of it which is the way we like it."
Sharp Axe was thrilled he had told them the truth about meeting a knight once before and was glad to get more of their history. He quickly promised then noticed that they had made it to the room. As he opened the door Dohko grabbed Shiryu's shirt so he couldn't make an escape attempted. One thing that Dohko knew about Shiryu was that he didn't like strangers magic or cosmos near him. If he knew the person it was fine but when it came to strangers, well let's just say that he was wearier and always attempted the motto fight or flight.
Sharp Axe looked at the group and said, "Okay, what's going to happen is you're going to lay on the floor where the diagram is, and the goblin healers are going to do a ritual that will help them figure out what type of blocks you have on you if any and then remove them. Now who wants to go first."
Dohko decided that Shiryu being a flight risk should go first and shoved him forward before anyone else could go.
Shiryu was trying to see if he could escape without anyone's notice when Sharp Axe opened the door. It didn't go according to plan since Dohko just grabbed his shirt to make it impossible to escape from. He knew the ritual was his idea but that didn't mean that he wanted to go through it. He knew that they would find the block between the dragon cloth and him and if they dissolve it then the dragon would just put the block back and he didn't think the dragon would be gentle if it had to do it a second time. The cloth was gentle the first time and it just made you feel a little groggy for a few hours.
Sharp Axe walked the knight to the ritual circle as he couldn't see where the circle was. He was angry at his master since the old man had literally pushed him in front so he could go first. He knew that his master was making the statement of I am not amused with your escape attempt.
As he laid down the goblins quickly got to work as they could tell that this young man didn't have any patience at that moment. As they started to use their magic to examine what was wrong with the young man. They noticed two blocks one all magic was leaving alone and the goblins could tell that it was doing no harm to the young man. The second block was a different story. The block was holding back about 80% of his whole magic. What was loose was swiping crashing against the block. One goblin healer stated that it reminded him of angry waves crashing to the ground or cliffs.
They noticed the only other thing wrong was his eyesight was also block. They decided to help the man's magic by getting the blocks off. As they started to chant to get the block off Shiryu started to glow. Dohko noticed the glow and paled. He knew that the spell the goblins were using and knew that something wrong had to be happing. He hoped that they knew what they were doing and stayed away from anything that had to do with the Dragon bond. The only thing that Shiryu was ever able to tell him was that the Dragon bonds with the wear and when that happens, they can never reveal the cloths secretes unless it's the next barrier.
Suddenly Shiryu was glowing a light green with hints of gold. Dohko knew that the goblins didn't stop now they would kill Shiryu. He knew that Shiryu was strong but the backlash of taking the block off will kill him especially if it hits the bond with the Dragon.
Dohko screamed, "Stop, you're killing him he won't survive the backlash."
The goblins stopped chanting as they heard Dohko yelling at them. Suddenly they saw a figure of what looked like a crouching dragon. When the cloth got close to them it expended and resized to fit its first owner. The dragon cloth was pissed that someone tried to destroy the bond between them, and it was killing his hatchling.
When the cloth was fully on Shiryu could feel the strain of the cosmos lessen. He could tell that the dragon cloth was strengthening the bond and the block. Thankfully, the dragon cloth was being gentle and taking the weaken block on his cosmos letting the cosmos leak out slowly. Which gave his body time to adjust to the change he also could tell that another block was destroyed from the ritual earlier. Before Shiryu could figure out the dragon cloth put him in a coma to recover.
Shunrei looked at her still husband and freaked since her husband was lying still until she could check on him herself, she would believe the worst. Dohko knew his daughter and said, "Shunrei, you know the dragon cloth has a bond with that boy he wouldn't let him die without a fight."
The goblins quickly floated Shiryu into a recovery room while Sharp Axe said, "Why don't we have Mushu go next so that if anything goes wrong at least we will be completely aware."
Dohko nodded as Mushu went toward the ritual mark with a weary heart. He was told by his papa that the Dragon cloth had a slight bond though it wasn't as strong as his father's bond was. Dohko told him not to worry about that since Shiryu and the dragon cloth had been through a lot in the years that they were partnered together.
As Mushu laid down he was going through calming techniques that his papa had taught him. It wasn't really helping but he was calm enough for the goblins to do their scan. They were astonished that the boy was moving or even alive with how many blocks were on the poor boy. They did notice an outside force was helping keeping some of these blocks from taking effect. They figured the best thing for this boy was a full magical flush. All it did was take way all blocks along with any foreign magic that didn't belong there in the first place.
When the goblins started chanting Sharp Axe grew alarm and tried to stop the goblins healers before they got any farther. He knew that with this spell it would remove the delicate bond between the cloth and the saint. He had asked Dohko what he thought had caused the collapse of his old student. Dohko had stated that he believed the goblins tried to destroy the bond between them and the Dragon took over.
His scream was never heard as Mushu had started screaming from the first words of the flushing process. Halfway through the process the dragon cloth woke Shiryu up enough to carry the cloth into the ritual room and walked over to Mushu. The dragon cloth was on his back and his focus was only on his son. The goblins kept chanting not even noticing the young man that had been in a coma for a few minutes standing there taking the pandora box off and laying it right next to his son. He had to time it perfectly or he could lose his son. He quickly grabbed his sons' hand and pulled open the pandora box. The dragon flew towards its new owner and like his father put him in a healing coma. Shiryu had went back into the coma right when the cloth got out of the Pandora box.
Dohko sighed he knew that the cloth could control their owners when they were down for the count, especially in a coma. He had never seen it, but he had heard of it from Athena. The cloths used this ability on Shiryu, Seiya, Hyoga, Ikki, and Shun when they were recovering from Saga's attack. They were in a coma, but when Athena was threatened by Poseidon. The cloth woke them up to stop the threat and then they passed out again. Athena yelled at them when they came too.
When the goblins stepped back Shunrei ran to her baby boy and checked on him as she rushed him to the recovery room. Dohko sighed as he slid the Dragon's Pandora Box on his back and picked up Shiryu bridal style, as he calmly walked into the recovery room. As he walked back out after laying Shiryu on his bed and the Pandora Box on the floor between the two-dragon bearer. He just hoped that it would help them recover quicker since they both were born under the dragon constellation. Sharp Axe was looking at the two humans that were still in the room who were turning pale at the thought of going through this.
Dohko said, "I'm next this way if I pass out then we know it has something to do with being Saints, and I would be the last one to pass out. If I don't then we know it would have to do with the Dragon cloth and his secretes. Shiryu was never able to tell us anything about the cloth."
Sharp Axe sighed he wasn't sure he wanted to do anymore rituals with this group. Already he had two who fell in a coma and another who knew the probability of falling into a coma was high. He was starting to believe that the Chinese Goblins were either one crazy or two didn't like these people as much as they said that they did.
Dohko laid in the ritual circle and let the goblins do their jobs after a few minutes he was cleared and was walking off without any thing being done. He knew that there was nothing on him since he hadn't even met this Dumbledore person. He walked back into the recovery room and forced Shunrei out to get checked.
Shunrei wasn't happy her husband and son were in a coma and her adoptive father was now forcing her to get tested. She just wanted to sit by their bedsides. He forced her out of the room and told her that she was only allowed back after she went through the ritual. She laid there while the goblins did their job. She had a few blocks on her magic that they were able to break through with no worries. When she was given all clear sign, she wobbled back into the recovery room.
Sharp Axe was happy that the easy ones were done will not so easy might have been the right words to choose as he almost lost two patients. He decided to get the last two done quickly as they had no idea what Dumbledore did to the two of them. Sitting the two Potter's in the ritual circle. As the goblins stood there, they just decided that best thing to do with them was a magical flush that way nothing would be missed.
At the end of the ritual the two adult Potters had passed out but were okay. They were laid in the recovery room and on beds to wake up on their own. Sharp Axe looked at Dohko and said, "I am sorry that this happen to them. You are welcome to stay here until they wake up from their coma."
Shunrei looked at Dohko and asked, "Father, wouldn't Athena be able to help them?"
Dohko replied, "This is out of Athena's hands Shunrei. Athena can save them from death if they haven't crossed over yet. These two will be fine. They are fighters and for Shiryu he has too much to live for."
Out at Longbottom manor an elderly woman was watching her grandson plant another herb in their greenhouse. She was proud that her grandson had a knack for plants, but she wished that he were more like his father. She knew it was wrong and no one could replace her son's. She even had him use his father's wand since it had a lot of sentimental value. As she went into the kitchen, she saw an owl with a letter attached. She took the letter and watched the owl fly away. She wondered who was writing to her now.
She read…
Dear Ms. Augusta Longbottom,
My name is Shunrei or Astra Potter. I am writing you to let you know that your son Shiryu would like to meet you. He would have written to you, but no one would be able to read it since he lost his sight when he was fourteen years old. We would like to visit or have you visit us in a week. Just to let you know that we are taking care of our nephew Harry Potter or as we call him Mushu and would love if you bring your grandson our nephew. Let us know when a good time for you and we will meet you.
Sincerely,
Shunrei Kido nee Potter.
Augusta sat down and shock as tears came out. She never gave up on her son being alive. She knew that he was out there, but since the Aurors and the Police wouldn't help her because of the court's order, she gave up hope of finding him again. Neville came in to clean his hands to see his grandmother crying. He washed his hands and said, "Grandmother, are you okay, what's wrong? Don't tell me mom or dad died?"
Augusta wiped the tears away and said, "No, Neville everything is fine your parents are okay. I got a letter telling me that your Uncle Shiryu is still alive and would like to meet us. Along with James sister and son. I am so glad that they are okay."
Neville smiled at his gran since he grew up on stories about a missing uncle even though he never met him or had many stories as he was taken when incredibly young. He never knew that his godfather James had a sister.
Neville asked, "Okay Gran, so when are we going to meet them?"
Augusta looked at her grandson and said, "Hopefully soon, I'm going to write and see if they have any time available to see us."
Neville nodded as he watched his grandma write the letter. Neville really hoped that this uncle was better than any of his other relatives were.
Lilly and James woke up and saw Shunrei and Dohko sitting in between Shiryu and Mushu's beds. Dohko rubbed Shunrei's back as she cried. James came up to them and said, "How are they?"
Dohko sighed as he said, "They are in a coma, hopefully they will wake up soon. This isn't the first time that Shiryu was in a coma. We know they will wake up; both are fighters and have a reason to live. The question is when they will wake up."
Dohko noticed that Shunrei had fallen asleep and he put her in the same bed as her husband. Lilly was sitting by her son and held his hand while telling stories from when he was a baby. James shook his head as he remembered them as well.
James said, "Dohko, you were there as Mushu was growing up, what is he really like."
Dohko replied, "He is the light in both my daughter and son in laws life. He enjoys training and learning new strategies. He was found in the forest by Shiryu and they talked as Shiryu brought him home. Shiryu was the one who told him about the knights of Athena and a year later after they adopted him, he decided to become a knight. Since it was his decision, he never had a childhood that you would have approved for a boy his age. He learned to fight and Shiryu and I had to be cruel to him a few times to get him to see reason. It hurt us as much as it hurt him but Shunrei explained why we had to do it."
James nodded he had seen tactics like that in the Aurora Program. As the two men talked Lilly noticed that her son had a sheet of paper sticking out of his pants pocket. She slid it out and opened it up and read that it was his school list.
Dokho saw what Lilly had and said, "We were hoping to get his school supplies today. We haven't had time yet. The first day we got here with a Mr. Severus Snape it was interrupted by the goblins that needed to talk to our boy. That was how we found out that you were still alive. Now this happens so were going to have to pick another day to get the supplies."
James said, "Nonsense Lilly and I are fine, we can go and get the supplies while we also go to the ministry."
Lilly nodded sadly and said, "We'll just have to wait for him to get his wand."
Dohko replied, "He already has a wand. We have a family friend that makes wands and made Mushu's wand. It's a custom wand which always works better than any premade wand ever is."
The two Potters left the bank after going to get money from the main Potter accounts.
Dohko looked at his small family and sighed as he wrote a letter to Athena. He wasn't sure what to do now. He knew that the two boys would be safe here, but at the same time they needed to be somewhere they felt safe. As he pondered what to do; he didn't notice his daughter waking up and walking toward him.
Shunrei woke up from her nap. She saw her father looking worried and went toward him. She knew that he was deep in thought and didn't want to disturb him, so she went back to her husband and combed her fingers threw his hair. She smiled sadly as she remembered the last few times he had landed in the hospital. She wished that she could get her husband and son to wake up, but she didn't have any idea how to get them up.
She looked up when she heard a hoot from an owl. When the owl landed near her husband, she noticed the letter and took it from the owl. The owl waiting for a reply just flew and landed on the back of her chair. She opened it up and read the letter. She sighed as she got her pen from her purse and wrote. That she wasn't sure when a good time would be seeing as her son and adoptive grandson was in a coma at the bank. Giving the owl the reply and watched it go off.
Lilly and James just got out of the Ministry and decided to do the school shopping. They knew that they would have to wait on clothes since they didn't know Mushu's size. They were able to at least get everything else. As they were walking James saw the Quidditch store and had to see what type of brooms they had out since they were kidnapped. He wondered if his son would like to play or even fly. Lilly sighed as she pushed her husband past the store and into a bookstore and went and got a book on Quidditch for their son to read.
