Chapter 2

A few minutes later.

Ethan had gone to Christina her room to wake her and show her the altered Wardstone.As he opened her door and it creaked Christina woke up and instinctively grabbed her wand and cast a Stupefy at Ethan. Who quickly dodged her attack barely. "What the hell Christina. I'm carrying the kid." Ethan said aggressively.

"You should know better than to enter someone's room in the freaking night." Christina replied as she came to her senses and looked at her bedside clock. "It's freaking two am in the morning." Christina got even more annoyed at Ethan because of the ungodly hour he woke her up at.

Ethan sighed "Be quiet the kid just fell asleep again." Ethan said trying to say more but got interrupted by Christina.

"Then why didn't you let me sleep too. It's way too early for anyone to be awake besides those on lookout." Christina responded fuming until she noticed what was in Ethan's other hand and sensed the magic pulsing from it. "Why do you have a strange Wardstone?" Christina asked pointing to the Altered Wardstone.

"That is the reason I woke you up. You can blame the kids servant with the manners of a troll and the blinded loyality and devotion of a house elf." Ethan said annoyed.

"So he got a new one. Is it active I can feel the magic see the glow coming of it and what is that golden glow within it's core?" Christina asked intrigued by the Wardstone.

Ethan sighed. "No it has just been altered recently so it isn't active. It caused a little issue with the little one since his blood was used for it's core. That golden glow is a manifestation of the child's family magic. I dont know what creature those bones in the core of it belong to nor do I know what the blueish see through crystal is or how they altered it so much. One thing is certain we will have to try and raise the kid to be good. Since the contract only allows us to ask the servant what he is allowed to give of aid. And if a servant of the kid's house can pull this I'd rather not have him be the next you know who." Ethan said worryingly. I'm happy the child's house was secluded even from the Wizarding community. They'd have fought over the child and his resources. I can only imagine what the Dark families would have done with Regency over him. Ethan shivered at the thought.

Christina looked confused at Ethan. "Did you say alter. As in this is the same Wardstone we gave the kid's servant." Christina got out of bed walking towards Ethan in her night gown to closer look at the Wardstone. "John is going to have a field day with this one. Still I'm no expert in Wardstones but should they leak out magic like that? I've only learned a little while John was setting up the Wardstone and all I understood is that he had to go through a lot of trouble to get it working. Even our enlargement charms on the rooms are manual and have to be redone."

Ethan pondered for a moment. "I honestly don't know. They cover Wardstones and charms and curses bound to them in Auror training but we aren't specialised in it. John might be a little lacking when it comes to wizarding tradition and culture but He was learning to become a curse breaker for Gringots so his knowledge of ancient runes ,curse breaking and charms makes him more specialised with Wardstones. I know it's nothing close from a miracle what he did with the one we have."

Christina nodded "So we are going to wake him up then?" Christina asked.

Ethan laughed. "Knowing John he'll go full studious Ravenclaw on it. Especially since he was undergoing curse breaker training before he had to hide." Ethan smiled. Not to mention John contact with the goblins as an ex-employee because they train in-house means that his old teacher and other goblins could be swayed by the prospect of cooperation as long as it doesn't conflict with the already signed magical contract. Ugh I shouldn't have send the kid's servant away. Ethan thought annoyed at his impulsive response but it could be blamed on the unexpected hour as well as the utter lack of sense of the situation.

Christina laughed as well "That's true. at least we wont have to redo most work or directly channel magic into the Wardstone every week." She said happily. "But maybe you could first bring the kid back to his crib or ask Milly to do it."

Ethan nodded not sharing that he took the kid with him for his own safety. "Milly." Ethan said softly with intent to call the house elf.

Milly quickly apparated into the room "Does master Ethan no longer need to hold Little dragon to prevent against Mistress Christina letting you see the Healers?" Milly asked innocently unaware of the side effect of her question.

Christina have Ethan a glare and then turned to Milly and in a kind voice said."Yes Milly. Ethan will no longer need to hide behind a baby. I wouldn't make him see the healers while he has so much work to do."

Ethan felt a shiver crawl up his spine while the meaning was most likely lost on the house elf he could read between the lines. He knew she'd give him so much work he'd wish he were with the healers.

Milly simply smiled and took Henry from Ethan and apparated away.

Christina looked at Ethan with a smile that showed she took glee out of scaring Ethan "Afraid of having to need healing?"

Ethan sighed. "As a healer in training you know where to hurt people. Plus you can be rather hot headed at times."

Christina just smiled. "Ooh the big bad Auror is scared from the healer. Though what you say is true. Now let's head towards John." Christina said smiling. Ethan just nodded as they left to go to John.

John was calmly reading the healing spell tome in his room. The unknown magic peaking his interest. "How is this a beginner spell. the requirements of magical strength alone should be hard for a adult. Something is rather strange with that kid's family." John said as he a slight golden glow filled his left hand as he attempted the spell getting used to the feeling of channeling magic without a wand still having issues with it. "The nature of it shows high amount of threats were once common practice." John said thinking outloud before he heard a knocking at his door. "Come in." He said calmly as he put the spell tome down.

Christina and Ethan walked in John's room.

"John we had an other visit of the kid's strange servant. He finished a Wardstone. We thought you'd want to see it." Christina said while having a gleeful smile.

John looked confused at Ethan. "The servant came at 2 in the morning. I don't know why a Wardstone would make Christina so happy she normally would have thrown hexes if someone woke her up. Also why did you two already activate it. I can feel it from behind both of you."

Christina looked at John with a judging gaze "You too well I'll just let Ethan explain about the Wardstone since everyone here thinks I'll hex them." She said in a mock disappointed tone.

Ethan just smiled holding the Wardstone behind his back. "First John it isn't active the kid's unknown family magic is still settling in the Wardstone. The reason for that is well I'll tell you later." Ethan said with a smile as he stepped to John's Desk and put the Wardstone on it right Infront of John.

John looked at the Wardstone then his face turned first into an expression of glee then to utter shock as he started to read the runes he understood and noticed some were in a different order or differently written then what he saw during his studies but it then settled on dread as he slowly noticed the Wardstone was still increasing in magical output. "Merlin's soggy ballsack." John swore. "This... shouldn't exist." John said in utter terror as his Cursebreaker education made him recognise that a soul was sacrificed to this Wardstone. But the soul was an enigma strange not truly dead or undying and was settling in the Wardstone made of unkown materials and the ancient runes he recognised had their order and way of writing seemingly strangely altered leaving John to gaze at it in shock

Ethan shook John out of his shock."John snap out of it. What's gotten into you?"

Christina looked worried at John. "John what's wrong?" She said shocked by John his response to the weird Wardstone.

John nervously looked at his friends."You were right Ethan we can't anger the kid's family. You said the kid's family magic has to do with this." John said nervously looking at the Wardstone his instincts screaming to get aid from his teacher in Gringots but a pull on his magic warned him not to do so. "The contract is signed isnt it. Now I understand the need of secrecy. Tell me what you ment with the kids family magic is connected to it." John said in a deadend tone.

Christina was even more worried. "John tell us what's wrong." Christina pleaded.

John turned to Christina and nervously spoke."Whatever was sacrificed or bound to this Wardstone shouldn't exist. It makes no sense. I thought the healing spell was a sign of conflict and possible danger but this. It just shouldn't be. It's like what's sacrificed to it can't die by nature." John said looking at his friends.

Ethan his expression turned to extreme worry. "It was the kid's family magic. The kid screamed as a side effect of it. The servant said it was because of the use of the kid's blood. If what we figured out through small signs is right it has something to do with dragons. I don't see the connection but the kid's eyes glowed golden like the light within the Wardstone. Luckily it was only temporary ,the Family magic settled down and went to slumber again. But yes the contract is signed, no harm to us and cooperation to the limited degree the servant is allowed. He altered the broken Wardstone and turned it into the one you see now." Ethan said with a faked calm tone.

John really is scared of it. I don't blame him but I realised normalcy went out the window with those potions, the book and the ring. Not to mention the amount of magic the kid has for his age. Luckily the magic contract is binding. So as long as we dont do anything rash or stupid. Ethan thought nervous about the situation as he worried about the safety of Emily and the wellbeing of his friends.

Christina looked at John."John you're overreacting the magical contract is signed. The kid's family magic went back to sleep inside of him and the potions they gave us work. While their beginner spells are powerful and hard to learn the servant can't harm us. The kid is just a kid with strange resources and family magic that is sleeping get a grip on your senses." Christina said sternly followed by a slap to John's face to calm him down.

John took some deep breaths to calm himself. "Sorry you're both right. It's just during lessons in Gringots for curse breaking they cover rather nasty and potent parts. I've been taught how to recognise the type of Wardstones it's material's and more. This one is a runic , blood and sacrificial combined. Sacrifice magic is old magic potent depending on a lot of factors it can be one of the worst to deal with. But this one is made like other Wardstones but the materials used and runes carved on it. It's like someone who came from the ancient times wrote it using material's that have been subjugated to ambient magic stronger then anything we know. I would call my teacher in Gringots to study it before we even use it but the contract is preventing it." John said sighing.

Ethan smiled. "While that's true the child will need someone responsible for their account and if they ensure secrecy that wouldn't break the contract. Since it would fall under the agreement about the growth of wealth and power for the kid if the Goblin accepts the terms." Ethan said with a smirk.

Christina looked at Ethan worried. "The chances of a goblin accepting terms like those are slim to none. Why would they even think it's worth to accept such a deal."

John smiled. "They'd accept it. Also since we previously sold gold and gems they are most likely looking for the source of it. Milly had to bring a message from my old teacher who asked if I found some hidden cursed vault or family storage reminding me that as I still am learning curse breaking from them they'd have rights to thirty percent of the gains until i finished my education and worked for them for four years." John said calmly.

Ethan laughed. "Well seems they like you if they just reminded you. they'd freeze your account and assets if they thought you were cheating them. Not that they dont cheat wizards and witches they dislike. A goblins loyalty and trust is something hard to gain. Especially considering our history with them."

John sighed. "Well I only treated them like normal people and stay polite when I first met them and sometimes tipped gold since I learned that from our charms master when discussing his goblin heritage and the right etiquette. Even if I only had him for my last two years" John said calmly but happily reminisced about his Hoghwarts years.

Christina smiled "Right professor Flitwick. the ex-dueling champion."

Ethan sighed. "Well consider it a blessing in disguise then. Most Muggleborn quickly fall in the same habits Purebloods and half-bloods do. That being rude and seeing the goblins as beneath them. Once they dislike you and see you like they see most wizards it's hard to change their opinion of you. They honestly hate wizards and if they no longer see you as an ally they'd turn against you because of the bad blood between us."

John nodded. "So should I write my teacher in curse breaking about it?" John asked.

Ethan sighed. "It's a bit early considering he hasn't been named yet and we need the go ahead of all contract holding parties to extend it's reach so the kid's servant has to agree."

Christina smiled. "Good since both of you have been focusing on cooperation with the goblins that you forgot the kid's servant might not agree. Which would be best with the hole secretive part. And concerning the safety of his master he wouldn't give us something that he deems dangerous. So he is more likely to aid us in our own study of ancient Runes. He might have said it wasn't the kid's family speciality but concerning the utter ridiculousness of their magic for beginners in what they call restoration I wouldn't bat an eye if they'd come with more insane things."

Ethan nodded."But you can't deny the fact the kid's family magic and blood accidentally made it so frightening. We'd need an expert in ancient Runes to ensure we dont do anything stupid with it."

John sighed. "We could limit it's range and bind the Fidilius and Muggle repellant charm to it. But I honestly fear for what it would do. It feels so potent and primal who knows how it could affect runes."

Ethan looked at John. "Well binding charms and maybe the space expansion charm or runes would be safe they are well documented and by limiting the range to the house until we find either a specialist in ancient runes or can get some knowledge through the kid's servant would be the best approach."

Christina smiled "So when are we going to set it up?" she asked eagerly.

Ethan looked at Christina. "You are enjoying this aren't you?"

Christina smiled. "Of course. if their beginner spells are so potent can't you invision what their approach would do to our magical arts. And it's not like I can't petrify the kid's servant." Christina said trying to contain her excitement

John looked at Christina. "I dont think that was the norm Christina. Their spells are potent so they should be able to shrug of our spells. It's worrying and weird."

Ethan pondered the situation for a moment and recalled the Dremora butler saying he was an exception to some rules because of being bound to an object. "Hmm the very item that the servant is bound to could prevent him from counteracting and fighting back."

John nodded. "If that is the case we can call ourselves lucky."

Christina looked at John and Ethan."Wait you're saying I didn't defeat him." She got nervous at the meaning behind what Ethan and John proposed.

Ethan sighed." I dont think so. But all the signs point to it. Highly effective potions that are neutral. By our estimate potent spells. We should be happy that the kid's the only remnant of his family. For if they'd aligned with you know who. We'd be having a lot of trouble. It also explains the kids magical strength but the kid's family magic seems to be in another league of it's own. Not that the kid can help it. The kid should be raised with Pureblood etiquette but without the dogma. I'd fear the idea of the kid turning dark or being against Muggleborn."

John looked at Ethan." I would not worry about that. I'd be more worried about what the kid's servant expects of us. if what we theorize is true he'd expect us to learn what they see as basic magic. Not that i am going to complain but it will be hard and we should keep it secret. I know the child or his family do not see it as family magic but we'd need to keep it to those we trust. But for now I'll prepare the runes to limit the range of the new wardstone so we don't break the stature of secrecy by accident." Ethan said before taking the Wardstone and a Rune Carving knife he took from his drawer and then swiftly left to work.

Christina looked at Ethan when John left. "Is he going to be alright?" Christina asked.

Ethan laughed. "Don't worry about John he's past the hole shock of the Wardstone. And if it goes smoothly he'd go full Raven on us and studying all he can about Runes rereading the old school books of the subject and sketching on paper and chalkboard before we know it." Ethan said smiling. Which is better than the alternative of freaking out and not wanting to touch the Wardstone. Maybe his studious nature could be used to coax a boon or extra aid out of the kid's servant. Ethan thought calmly.

Christina smiled back."He was right about the secrecy of the kid's tomes and knowledge. I wonder what more we could learn. Anyway I'll be heading back to bed but since John is busy with the Wardstone." Christina smiled and took the spell tome on Healing from John's table and rushed of back to her room.

Ethan just smiled and also head towards his bed. Tomorrow is going to be interesting. Ethan thought before he went towards his room to call it a night.

Half an hour later.

John had finished the preparations. altering the Muggle repellent charm to ensure it couldn't go beyond the intended area of the front door should something happen to the Fidilius Charm in anyway. He triple checked the Runes inteded to keep the Wardstones influence and magical output contained within the house. "Well everything seems to be in order." John said outloud as he head to the Cellar. He had noticed the altered Wardstone was still increasing in magical output while it remained inactive. I'm just going to use it for the Fidilius, Muggle repellant charm and space extension charm. They've been used for years. John thought trying to ease his worries as he used his blood to bind to the Wardstone and he recognised because it was made using Henry his blood that John might have completed control of it now. if the kid ever orders went against John's that it wouldn't obey John. Well the kid is the only other person with full acces to the Wardstone. I hope the connection keeps that family magic in check. John thought as he bound the altered Wardstone to the Fidelious charm and Muggle repellant charm. He was amazed even while the Wardstone seemed to be in an inactive state it kept fueling the spells normally changing bound Wardstones would make spells unstable for the lack of magic being funneled to them. It can handle the previous Wardstone it's functions passively. No negative responses yet but I'll have to be able to use space extension Runes or charms later on it. For an indoor greenhouse at least. John thought worryingly and then activated the Wardstone. John immediately felt a large rush of ambient magic rise and a lot flowing into him separately through the bond with the Altered Wardstone. "Merlin's balls." John said at the discomforting amount of magic pressing down on him in the room but it quickly shifted to not be oppressive but still was abundant and growing swiftly. The strangest part of the situation is that the oppressive nature stopped when John desired it to be. "Intent. It responds to intent." John said with glee as he rushed to check the runes limiting the range of the Wardstone effects unaware that his thoughts of using the Wardstone to fuel the already existing spacial extension charms and add more were being interpreted by the Wardstone.

As John arrived at the Runes ment to keep the effects of the Altered Wardstone he noticed it was working as he intended but then he felt a strange sensation from the Altered Wardstone as the high amount of magic previously contained within the cellar started to branch out through the entire building first leading to the temporary set up Healing area where they had to refuel the spacial extension charm in a weekly basis. Shit. I shouldn't have listened to Ethan we don't know what that Wardstone is capable of. John thought as he rushed to the cellar but as he passed the door to the area they setup for healing he couldn't help but look through the slightly ajar door and what he saw made him rush inside the room. before the room size was limited because of the lack of magic to supply the spacial extension charm and only used for those in worst conditions like Ethan or others who required to be closest to the few who could heal their bedrooms as well as the potions stores. But what John saw wasn't the small room he was used to nor what he expected in his worry but he saw a large room enough to house more then thirty beds for patients if they moved those who could heal and the potions stores to the room with room to spare to even add privacy curtain's and the normally expected accomodating tools of the healing arts. Christina and the 4 others are going to like that they finally have the space to work with. Still weird it works on intent then again the kid's house other magic was Wandless intent based but also had a form of structured education to it. If that translated to the Wardstone I've got to be careful. I'll have to ask Milly to move the potions stocks and their cupboards here tomorrow and figure this out luckily the intent isn't harmful. John thought as he left the room to head to sleep.

The early morning.

Henry woke up and as he opened his eyes he through his mage sight saw thick lines of blue weaving through the ceiling and walls but he also noticed those very same ceiling and walls their quality seemed better. more refined repaired somehow but most of all a homey and warm comfort covered him combined with something being stronger in his surroundings he couldn't find a description for combined with a connection to something he guessed was most likely the Wardstone. Did they start casting Reparo at everything? It's strangely more comfortable.Henry thought but he couldn't relish in his thoughts alone as he quickly recognised the sound of apparition before he was picked up and noticed a familiar face but more healthy.

Milly had noticed the ambient magic in the house was higher but not harmful to anyone she also felt more power slip through her bond with John. but as she went to tend to Henry who just woke up the house elf kept wondering who remembered her to move the potions stocks to the Healing room. She knew it couldn't be the house only Hoghwarts was alive it was not something many knew but a lot believed. And Hoghy Warts always let house elves live there and bond with her or sometimes just let them get the magic they needed from her to stay healthy. "Little Dragon be awake. Little dragon be needing a new nappie and then milk." Milly said in her cheerfilled kind voice.

Henry just had the urge to giggle. The house elf is too adorable even if what she wants to do is embarrassing. He thought.

Wiseman:Not Fighting against care. Good. And you have already figured out what is going on is because of your unexpected tampering. I'm still worried about you either being an idiot or a masochist because of your actions.

Just put a sock in it. Don't ruin my happy mood with commenting negatively on my actions of yesterday please. Henry thought as he let the house elf take care of him trying to focus on the happy face of Milly.

Wiseman: I'm not going to give you negative comment. It was risky maybe foolish and self destructive but the results are quite positive. I would advise you to check if your binding with the Wardstone means it will be manageable by the system but beyond that I approve of the results of your actions it opens possible avenues we should explore and research but for now be a child and don't do anything self destructive like pull a dragon soul out of yourself.

I'll take any positivity I can and don't worry I learnt my lesson I rather not hurt myself. Henry thought till the smell of his own spoiled nappie attacked his nostrils and he started making hurling noises until Milly vanished it.

Milly smiled at Henry. "Little dragon not like foul smells. Don't worry Milly will make sure no bad smells be near little Dragon." As Milly said this Henry couldn't stop giggling at the house elf.

I wish I could move I want to hug Milly she is too sweet. Henry thought until he noticed something. It was suddenly raining flower pedals on Milly causing Henry to giggle more.

Notice:this skill has no proficiency since it's accidental nature and is triggered by emotions.

Milly just smiled as flowers pedals fell on her and she replaced Henry his nappy. "Little Dragon happy with Milly make pretty flowers fall from sky." Milly exclaimed happily causing a certain young girl to check on the reason for the happy commotion.

Emily had woken up well rested that morning it was one of those rare night's without the nightmares that plagued her sine she lost her parents. She was walking around the house which felt and looked nicer somehow she couldn't put her finger on it and when she passed the room where uncle said the Baby that was going to be like a new brother to her stayed she heard the sounds of giggles and recognised Milly her voice who sounded exited about something as she entered the room she was surprised it was raining flower pedals of different colours and sizes which were already starting to cover the floor and on in childish playfulness she took some pedals and threw them at Milly also hitting Henry in the process.

Milly was surprised just as she finished giving Henry the new nappy she was hit by a bunch of pedals. Which brought great amusement to Henry making him laugh more. While Milly turned to look at the girl who threw the pedals at her and didn't notice any ill intent but a playful mischievous smile. "Mistress Emily wants to play with Milly?" Milly asked trying to contain her happiness and tears.

Emily smiled at the elf and nodded. "Of course I'd want to play with Milly. Milly is nice and one of my friends." Emily said to the house elf who had taken care of her uncle when he was hurt and supported her. or played with Emily and the three other kids to cheer them up.

Milly smiled being in tears of what young Emily said"Milly happy young mistress Emily see her as friend." Milly said whilst happy crying.

Come on Milly don't cry play with her. Henry thought and as if on command a gust blew the pedals at both Emily and Milly. That's unexpected. Henry thought.

Emily smiled at Milly thinking she was responsible for the gust and threw more pedals at the house elf laughing.

Milly was overjoyed and played with Emily throwing pedals back and forth it lasted for a long while till Henry his stomach made itself known.

Hungry. Shit. I was enjoying myself. Henry mentally complained as he noticed both Emily and Milly looking at him.

Milly turned to Emily "Sorry mistress Emily. Milly be needing to feed Little dragon." Milly said apologetically.

Emily just smiled back and petted the house elf her head. "It's alright Milly. maybe we can all sit in the pedals while you feed him and tell a wizarding children story." Emily said with a big smile hoping that Milly would tell fun stories like when she couldn't sleep.

Milly was overjoyed and took Henry in her arm as a baby bottle appeared and she started feeding him. "Milly would love to tell a story."Milly said filled with glee as a wizarding children book appeared and opened on a story about Merlin. Moving pictures could be seen.

Magical story time.Henry thought overcome with joy and anticipation as he was being fed.

Emily smiled at the familiar book Milly had used before though she couldn't recognised the story it was on she recognised Merlin's name."A wizarding story of Merlin. Please Milly that one." She pleaded looking at Milly with her best puppy dog eyes.

Milly smiled at Emily."Milly will tell the story but shouldn't we ask the other young master's and mistresses if they want to join in. Instead of spying from the hallway." Milly said kindly as suddenly three other kids ranging from 4 to 7 joined them. One boy and two girls entered the room slightly embarrassed.

Emily just smiled and patted the Flower pedal covered floor around her and they quickly joined looking at Milly expectantly.

Milly smiled as the all children from within the house sat together and started reading. "This story starts in with a young Merlin's education at Hoghwarts. Merlin was believed to be a young talented wizards who had a nack for charms." Milly said as she showed a moving drawing of what seemed to be a young Merlin on his way to Hoghwarts with another drawing beside it of young Merlin using magic. All the kids were looking at the drawings in awe.

Henry also tried to see the moving drawings but could and felt slightly saddened by it. Until the drawings suddenly appeared in air around the children moving in breathtaking beauty even the smalest scenery of the drawings appeared until they shifted to appear life-like but still have the fairy tale aesthetic to them

Accidental magic (Potter-verse) Triggered.

Accidental magic Leveled up

Milly just smiled and continued reading while the children listened and looked in awe as what Milly read unfolded infront of them. "Merlin was one of the few who got thaught by the founders of Hogwarts themselves. During those days the founders handpicked their student's. Merlin was hand picked by Salazar Slytherin and was one of the students Salazar was most proud of even if they didn't think the same about Muggleborn or muggles." As the scenes shifted from Merlin learning from Salazar to them disagreeing on their stances of Muggle and Muggleborn something that wasnt originally in the drawing but in the illusion of the story was a small painting on Salazar desk of a young woman and hidden in the back long cast away was a symbol even muggles could recognize to this day the symbol of a a snake coiled around a staff.

Milly smiled as she noticed the children enthralled through the story and watched the illusion follow along. "So Merlin continued the studies but never fell into the same beliefs as Salazar. Even some fellow Slytherin didn't fall for the same ideals as their head of house. For in those days it wasn't common." The illisions shifted from Merlin studying to playing with fellow students. Studying togheter. There was even a part where a few Slytherin's were avoiding a certain girl but the illusion shifted a young Merlin heading first to the Griffindor girl and it was then followed by other Slytherin, a Ravenclaw , a second griffindor, and even a Hufflepuff sitting with the girl and Merlin studying playing and laughing with Salazar in the background but instead of a expression of disgust it seemed one of sadness and worry.

"Up untill his final years at Hoghwarts his ideals stay unchanged and he studied and laughed like any child. His previous gifts with charms plus the studying manifested in a true mastery of charms and enchanting when he left Hoghwarts he knew all of the subjects that was taught during that time."

The scene shifted multiple times showing Merlin his passage of years with the same witches and wizards surrounding him as they appeared to get older. the illusion shifted from them laughing studying growing up to them all standing side by side as they left Hogwarts.

The children were enthralled by the illusion as they listened carefully while Milly continued the tale.

"Merlin went to travel to broaden his horizons and help others untill he met a young Arthur Pendragon and adviced the young king." The illusions shifted from a older Merlin with a young Arthur Pendragon advising him to them drinking and becoming friends and last Merlin even using magic to tend to Arthur who in the illusion wasn't fazed by it showing it might have happened before or that Arthur knew.

The kids all looked in awe at Arthur and Merlin but then one of the kids the Boy asked a question.

"Milly why don't wizards help people anymore?" the boy asked innocently all the kids glaring at him for interrupting the story.

If I remember correctly even then witch hunts were going on. . Henry thought.

Milly smiled at the boy. "The answer comes later in the story master Michael." Milly said kindly.

"Now Merlin adviced king Arthur. Helping governing the land. Because of the aid of Merlin and Arthur's trust in the man. The people openly accepted Merlin." the illusion shifted to not only Merlin being accepted by a bunch of medieval peasants but some other witches and wizards as well.

"Even one of Merlin's friends and fellow wizard was accepted into the Knights of the round table. Sir Cadogan Merlin's old friend served alongside the other knight of the round table even if he only got accepted because that Merlin was part of Arthur court" The illusion shifted to knights of the round table all standing together with Arthur and Merlin.

"Sadly not all good things last and Morgan Le Fey the half sister of Arthur and a dark witch caused turmoil using the dark arts forcing Merlin and Arthur against her." Milly said as the illusion switched to a battle between Merlin and Morgan until shifting to show Merlin's victory but his head seemed to be tilted downward on the illusion because of grief for the lives that were most likely lost or if it was the mourning of a possible friend or fellow Hoghwarts student is unknown.

"But the damage was done by Morgan. The trust and acceptance of Arthur's people in the magical weigned. So Sir Cadogan was stripped from the people's history books. Merlin himself was still trusted and sought to help both magical and muggles to coexist. He advocated for laws protecting the Muggles. He created an order to support those ideals. believing both muggle and Magical could life in peace. So he made the order of Merlin. But his tale didn't end there while promoting cooperation he also became an expert in charms advancing the field creating many spells and many are still used today." The illusion shifted to scared peasants and wizards leaving their abodes amongst them. some peasants throwing stuff at the wizards then shifted to Sir Cadogan who was shown defeating a wyrm on a fat pony which then shifted to papers being burned or thrown away while his fellow knights looked apologetically as they parted with him. But then then the more bleak and sad illusion changed to Merlin preaching cooperation with his old school friends at his side that switched to his old school friends minus Sir Cadogan helping Wizards and Muggle get along though it seemed to be going very hard and Merlin grew older with each attempt of trying to make both cooperate and life in peace but the illusion ended on Merlin as he stood on his chocolate frog card proud for his accomplishments in charms and still hopeful with the order he left to continue his work then the illusion faded.

Well that wasn't a pleasant story must be a lesson on how to treat others or something. still they didn't cover the cursed vaults or Merlin's portrait and only glossed over Sir Cadogan tale. not to mention the conflict between Morgan and Merlin wasnt very detailed. Maybe it's censored each story in children books hold a lessons. Henry thought

Milly, the children and Henry hadn't noticed the adults were looking in from the door for how long the children couldn't know but the adults saw the nuances in the illusion but they had tears in their eyes by the display of all the children of the house all siting together with no worry or care listening to the story.

the children all looked at Milly then Michael the boy spoke again. "So Wizards don't help us cause stupid meanies drove them away? All because of bad witches and wizards like Morgan making people scared?" Michael asked but as Milly wanted to give a answer One of the adults a old Muggle who lost his Muggleborn daughter in this conflict stepped to Michael.

"It's because both sides were scared of eachother and hurt eachother not seeing the other like people." The old man said patting the boy on the back.

The other adults were utterly shocked at the old man's action. For he was one of the few in the house while not openly hostile the loss of his daughter and wife left him secluded and hatefull to most things magical.

Michael and the other kids looked at the old man as if to ask why but the old man just looked at Milly and spoke "Milly why don't you go prepare breakfast for the kids." the old man said stoically using the house elf's name for the first time. The house elf simply nodded and apperated to so her work while the other adults left the room only John, Christina ,Henry and the old man were left there.

Christina picked up Henry while the she noticed John step towards the Old man.

John looked at the old man. "Joseph are you alright?" John asked the old man.

Joseph turned to look at John and seemed to be doing his best not to breakdown and turned to John. "I'm not. I'm tired old. I've held a lot against you folks and blamed all that was wrong on your ilk but the eyes of that wizard Salazar." Joseph shakily stopped talking as his own memories of during world war two the loss of a darker part of his past experiences not entirely gone but burried resurfaced because of the expression of the illusion of Salazar and the comments he heard about both himself being secluded and harsh as well as some comments on Salazar his daughter or other wizards and witches slipped when he wasn't so filled with grief and sorrow resurfaced.

John looked at Joseph patiently and comfortingly to continue putting his hand on the 55 year old man's shoulder.

Joseph shook under the touch and continued. "I recognised the face of a man who lost someone he cared for together with his trust. I know I don't have any right to say this but sorry for some of my outbursts. I didn't want to bring this up with the children. This place has become a safe haven amongst the conflict a home. Even I felt better today then I ever felt before the feeling of comfort and safety. The feeling of a home and when I saw the kids either magical and well normal sitting together listening to a story enraptured I didn't want to break their joy. But what I saw during the story made me think. I know I haven't been the nicest to you lot or even the house elf but I think my little girl would have wanted me to help and not wallow as I did before. The memories still hurt but I will try to help and be less of a pain to you all. I hope you accept this old man's apology." Joseph said his voice shakey a few tears in the man's eye.

John was utterly shocked but simply smiled at the Joseph. "Joseph, we have all felt the pain of this war. we never blamed you for anything. You have been through a lot. I mean this is the second travesty your exposed and it made you break. Most men would have broken long before so you don't have to apologize." John said giving Joseph a comforting smile.

Joseph looked at John. "You should be angry lad not so understanding. I've been a straight pain in your arse since my daughter died. You're only making this harder on me." Joseph replied angrily.

John just kept smiling. "Should I really? Joseph we are all in the same boat here and what would Merlin think if we were angry at you. we'd be forgetting the moral of Merlin's dream stood for that no matter magical or Muggle cooperation is what to strive for. So atrocities like those outside our doors can be relegated to the history books. So instead of being angry with you. I think we should live and let live to make sure the smiles and joy the kids had will become the norm instead of the exception."

Christina was partly in tears at both John's and Joseph's words.

The old man served in world war two. Damn. John was right though cooperation needs to start somewhere and I'd like to see the kid's and Milly smile more. Henry thought.

Joseph looked at John giving him a uncertain smile since he wanted John and the others to be furious with him. He wanted to do something to at least make up for the guilt of his bad treatment and wrongfully aimed anger. "John.." Joseph said in a emotionally shaking voice. "Tell me what I can do to help around here. Anything even if it's just keeping an eye the youngsters." Joseph said.

John just smiled. "It's alright Joseph. If you can help then we will let you know."

Christina looked at both men. "Isn't it time to join the others for breakfast. Not that I mind it being late because we were looking for the kids." Christina said kindly.

John just nodded. "Are you going to join us Joseph or do you want it to be brought to your room. We understand if you need time." John said kindly.

Joseph looked at John with a fake judgemental gaze. "Now listen here young'un. I might be old but I ain't frail and I've been secluding myself in my damn room for too long. I'll be there and you can all expect me at the meeting discussing the babe and how we'd best be going with the changes the wee lads servant servant caused." Joseph said sternly and loudly with a fire in his eyes.

Hahahaha tough old man has spirit. Henry thought as Christina laughed at Joseph's reply while carrying him.

John just laughed and smiled. "Alright let's go join the others and afterwards Milly can clean up the pedals." John said cheerfully as they all went to eat.

At the dinning table.

Henry was surprised seeing a total of 15 Adults and the 4 kids from before. Since he recently ate he was being held by Milly her magic which he enjoyed alot it made him laugh and giggles. It somehow felt normal to be up. Luckily for the non morning wizards and witches everywhere there were charm to filter out sound. The healer with tathered old raggedy clothing was such a wizard who first needed coffee. Henry only noticed because of how devoid of energy he seemed. but after his coffee the man seemed much better.

John was enjoying breakfast with the others and was the first to speak."I wish days could be more like this no worries the kids just being kids and happiness and comfort all around." John said kindly

Ethan nodded. "It's strange in a good way muggles and magical in this house getting along the high amount of magic in the air covering us like a protective warm comforting blanket." Ethan said.

the Muggleborn and muggles nodded agreeing. They knew a moment of peace and comfort was uncommon during the war and wished others had a similar comfort during this trying times. Then they continued eating.

Henry heard them and made a happy cooing noice at the idea. Yes it's a beautiful thing to believe in. I want the same but I know it's unlikely. Henry thought agreeing with them. Unaware that the combined desire and intent of them was being picked up by the magic that was seeping through the building and Henry suddenly saw the blueish veins of magic through the building slowly turn yellow.

In the Cellar with the Wardstone.

The Wardstone with the soul of a Dovah. A Nirnian immortal being attuned to time and very magical in nature entrapped in a Potter-verse Wardstone made with Nirnian resources was still settling but felt the intent and desire in the building.

Because potent Nirnian magic like the Thu'um and swords Singer's were sound based something unexpected happened. Through the entire building and even the town beyond a compulsion was felt.

The Wardstone in the Cellar it's magic started to sing a song it learned from one of the denizens it touched through the magic that seeps through the building. A rather Specific song Ode to Joy.

At the alleyway where Henry first appeared.

An auror was sent by Barty Crouch Senior to look into the strange magical outburst and the report of his colleague about the alley before but suddenly noticed many muggles slowly starting to hum or sing one song as if lead by an unseen conductor. Suddenly he noticed Muggle street artists or just musicians take out instruments to play along. But what the auror found strangest is the effect it had he felt a similar feeling to a Patronus charm slowly building up he couldn't help but think they were connected.

The auror kept looking around he'd have a weird time explaining this. As he noticed a golden glow appearing as more seemed to join the unexpected musical session unaware of how wide spread it was and noticed in the distance Dementors being pushed back by it and to investigate it.

Somewhere else within the same town.

A Muggleborn young witch was scared as she noticed a flock of Dementors approach her home and neighborhood until some of the nearby neighbors started to hum and she could see a golden glow softly growing driving the Dementors off and fighting off their effects on the surrounding area and people. The Dementors didn't seem pleased and kept being pushed back by the golden glow.

Back at the house.

While everyone was eating or talking the melody of ode to joy could be heard as John and Henry felt the Wardstone react. The song started with the sounds of just a few whistling causing those within the house to sing and hum along unaware of what was going on outside. Or that the symbolism of the song was being used by the Wardstone and fed magic to the little spark in everyone has inside. And thus the house sounded like an orchestra hall.

Back outside the house.

The few magical folk of the town unlike the muggles heard all the music combined into an orchestra because of the golden glow and sung along as they did so they heard other voices sing along as well making the golden glow and comforting joyous feeling stronger. The greenery in the town grew more vibrant.

Meanwhile with the Young Muggleborn witch.

The young Muggleborn witch noticed the Dementors were still fighting the strange golden glow. Then she heard someone apparate nearby an auror.

The auror thought the area with Dementors must have housed the responsible person but noticed the Muggleborn young witch didn't even have her wand drawn. Then the orchestra orchestra they heard because of the golden glow was joined by what can only be compared to a choir and the Auror noticed the golden glow grow more potent and saw a unknown variant of a Dragon made of the golden glow appear in the distance large but non threatening unseen.

"Morgana's tits." The auror swore as the Dragon made of the golden glow flapped it's wings and send the Dementors fleeing from the town entirely those to close to the glow getting scared by it.

Meanwhile inside the house.

A golden glow Ethan was familiar with covered them all as they sang only when the music stopped were they aware of what compilsion they had not that it wasn't welcome. The golden glow still strong in the house making the way magic flows through the house apparaten to those without mage sight.

Joseph smiled. "Well that was a pleasant little suprise."

Ethan looked at Joseph. "It was like a compulsion charm but not forced like an invitation. the golden glow seemed similar to the kids family magic."

John finally clear from the emotions the song brought felt that the Wardstone it's reach extended past the runes ment to keep it in check and quickly thought if he had ordered it. Then realisation hit him they all wished others to feel the same comfort and the Wardstone must have replied to it. "It wasn't the kid but us. Our intent caused this and it leaked out the house." John said worried.

Joseph looked at John. "Why are you worried we are still hidden right. We'll see what's going on when we take the kids out for a walk." Joseph said calmly.

Ethan nodded. "It's already done and since we don't see oblivators running around outside it's harmless." Besides there isn't a lead to us. Ethan thought.

Awe it's over. Henry thought as Milly let him down and carried him. I liked it. Hmm tonal magic maybe. Dumbledore also said that music is a magic beyond all thaught in Hogwarts. Not to mention even Muggles have a little spark of magic in them. Henry thought as Milly carried him passing Emily but what he saw wasn't the faint dull glow of magic he'd seen in muggles before thus as Milly brought him to his room to sleep he was pondering about what was going on.

Meanwhile at the Ministry of magic.

The Auror that noticed the strange event in the town where Henry and his new caretaker's lived was heading to report to the head of the DMLE. As he entered Crouch Senior his office he noticed that Crouch and Dumbledore were both discussing something.

Crouch noticed the auror and smiled. "No need to worry Dumbledore. Here is the Auror that was in the area before the second incident. Now come on then with the report were there signs of a ritual that caused the spike of magic within the area. Before the second incident?" Crouch Snr. The head of the DMLE asked the auror. Dumbledore also seemed quite interested in the incident but couldn't publicly use Leglimens on the Auror.

The auror stood straight and quickly spoke. "Honestly sir. No signs of a ritual,The Demon thing reported by our colleague or the magical child but I noticed something else sir. I don't know how to describe it sir." The auror answered.

Crouch Snr seemed slightly annoyed by the lack of information but nodded. "Perhaps sharing your memories with us so we can look it over in a pensieve would help." Crouch suggested.

The auror nodded and was offered a tiny glass bottle by Dumbledore. The auror quickly filled the vail with his memory of the strange event and left it on Crouch Snr his desk and awaited permission to leave. "Sir I would apologize for my lack of a rapport on the situation but I'm sure the memory would explain it."

Crouch seemed interested in what the Auror ment and quickly gave the auror permission to leave.

The auror swiftly left the head of DMLE office to get a drink and think about what happened.

Crouch quickly grabbed the flask and walked to the pensieve in the corner of the room. "Just as we agreed with your order. Let's review the memory." Crouch said to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore nodded. "True but I still think you're permission of using the unforgivables on Death Eater suspects is a little to harsh."

Crouch felt annoyed that Dumbledore brought that subject up again. "We are at war. They already have caused us enough aurors while your non lethal approach is commendable I can't risk the wellbeing of the magical community by such tactics. Now are we going to review the memory or do you want to criticize my approach more." Crouch said irritated.

Dumbledore inwardly sighed in resignation for the old wizard always believed in second chances and his ideologies of not using violence since he lost his sister. Which while understandable blinded him but he wasnt a fool he would use the unforgivables as a last resort." No , I only hope to prevent more bloodshed. But let's review the memory." Dumbledore said as he walked towards the pensieve.

After reviewing the memory Dumbledore and Crouch both understood why the Auror had such a hard time explaining what happened neither of them had any explanation for it either.

While Crouch was irritated at the lack of answers about something that warded away and even harmed Dementors. Dumbledore more knowning about Muggle things understood that whatever transpired there wasn't harmful in nature.

Crouch was the first to speak. "Some compulsion charm to sing a muggle song and some weird side effect of it. What am I supposed to tell the minister." Crouch said irritated not at the fact that he had nothing to report but that this Muggle song was known to be one of the few that was as good as the magical community their music though nobody would admit it.

Dumbledore looked at Crouch. As someone more versed in muggle things he knew what this song represents."Not entirely. it didn't feel as forced as a compulsion charm. More like an invitation. The song holds a wonderful meaning and the lines as well. Music is truly a magic beyond all we do." Dumbledore said with a tear running down his cheek.

Crouch turned to Dumbledore. "I'll have to send obliviators to keep the muggles from realising what happened and find who would risk the stature so heavily." Crouch said irritated as if he didn't have enough work.

Dumbledore interrupted. "I don't think that will be needed. they seemed blissfully unaware of what was going on. But I will look into what happened myself. I'd advice giving the memory to the Daily Prophet. Good news would lift the people spirits during the war." Dumbledore said with a smile before leaving.

Crouch smiled at the idea of sharing it with the Daily Prophet. It could lead to unmasking the wizard responsible and a possible strong ally. Sadly for Crouch he wasn't the only one with that idea.

A little while later at the house.

Henry couldn't sleep he was pondering about what had happened. The dwemer in Nirn used tonal architecture. Could that be it. No it wouldn't explain the changes in Emily. Exposure maybe. Henry kept pondering what could be causing the changes. He knew it wasn't normal that's for sure and kept fighting his sudden tiredness to keep pondering what was going on.

Wiseman: You're using your head that's new but you should rest. Wait until you see the others then make a hypothesis.

I know but still. I don't want it to be dangerous for them. It makes me nervous. Henry thought.

Accidental magic (Potter-verse) Triggered.

Henry apparated out of his crib and appeared near Ethan and Emily.

Ethan calmly spoke."So after the naming ritual we will be his surrogate family. That means He'll be staying with us."

Emily screamed in suprise as she noticed something under her chair only getting a giggle as a reply from Henry. "Don't scare me like that." Emily said as she took him from under the chair and picked him up. Only to be met with more giggles and cooing.

Ethan just laughed at the situation. "The kid can't help it. Accidental magic just happens not normally so young but I think the kids just wound up by what happened before. Strange that his magic brought him to you. He might like you." Ethan said smiling. Kid's accidental magic led him to Emily. He must trust her or enjoy her company. I expected him to apparate to Milly or Christina. Still it's a good sign. Ethan though.

Emily just smiled as she handed Henry to Ethan causing Henry to struggle against Ethan "Oh but uncle Ethan. won't it be hard for you since you have so much work to do. And I don't want to bring trouble. I'm not like you or auntie Sarah." Emily said softly.

Ethan just lift the little girl her head gently and looked in her eyes the same eyes kind blue eyes his wife had. "Listen Emily. I don't care if you're Magical or not you're family. Besides who knows you might have magic. you're only five. And even if you bring trouble you'll be my little trouble maker." Ethan said kindly while going through her hair causing Emily to smile and giggle.

As Henry looked at Emily through the cute endeavour he noticed the slightly stronger glow within her was being fed by blueish lines that came from the floor and the faint blueish glow within the air covering them and partly seeping in through the skin. Wait the Wardstone is doing something to them. Henry thought in shock. It might be harmful. I need to try and warn them. Henry his one arm pointed at Emily but as he attempted to talk it didn't sound remotely like words.

Ethan smiled at Henry. "You're normally very quiet not even trying to talk. He must really like you Emily. So I guess you're even more stuck with us now." Ethan said teasing Emily

Emily threw a little tantrum. "No fair uncle." She said giving her uncle a soft hit. Ethan who was in a joking mood did like it hurt playfully to cheer Emily up.Emily triumphantly smiled.

Ethan laughed "Alright Emily lets go. we got a naming ritual to do. I want you to be there." Ethan said as he got up and ruffled through Emily her hair.

Emily struggled against the hair ruffling. "Uncle no my hair." She complained before following her uncle.

Later in the Ritual room.

All the adults and children were in the room.

In the centre of the room stood Ethan and Christina each with a string that lead to Henry laying between them and John overseeing it.

Ethan started to speak. "By the right as thine magical guardian of one who's parents didn't name. I call the right to name thee."

Christina then started to speak. "By the right as thine guardian for all things muggle. I call the right to be part of this ritual to bare witness as thee art given thine name."

John nodded" I stand here to witness thine guardians may thou see them as thine kin may thou be cared for by them so thine bloodline does not end. May thou be named by them for thine progenitors could not and see all those who came to bare witness as thine family or thine friends."

"I give thee Leofric as thine first may thou carry it well. So mote it be" Ethan said ceruminously.

"I bare witness and approve. So mote it be" Christina said

John looked at Christina then at Ethan. "I bare witness the naming ritual by magic may he carry it as thou will carry him to adulthood as his kin. So mote it be."

"So mote it be" Was repeated by everyone in the room even the muggles who found it a weird tradition but then noticed the strings burn up into nothingness and disapear.

System

Status update detected.

Name has been changed by magical tradition by those permitted by binding magical contract.

Host full name will now be Leofric 'Leo' Dovahkiin.

Leofric. Hmm could be worse I like the ring of Leo. The now renamed Leo thought.

Emily ran to Ethan. "So is Leo now my baby brother?" Emily asked innocently.

Ethan just smiled at petted Emily her head. "Sort of he already was when I became his magical guardian he is my charge. But because I named him since his parents couldn't now I will be shown on his paperwork that should appear in Gringots and then when the Goblins are done they'll forward the information to the ministry. Still Leo. i guess that what we will call him now." Ethan said smiling

Emily just smiled and ran to Leo "Hello little Leo. I'll be your big sister from now on." Emily said proud as she lifted him up in a hug.

Awe. Too precious and adorable. Leo thought. as he strangely felt kinship to the girl because of the naming ritual.

Wiseman: Actually she is related to your charge no relationship to you.

Put a sock in it Wiseman. Leo thought.

Christina stepped to Ethan. "So you sure you can handle it. Two kids to take care off? I mean no offense the others and I will help but are you certain you can handle it." Christina asked.

Ethan laughed nervously. "No but that's why I asked everyone to be here. The ties go both ways in the ritual. And as you named yourself a guardian during the ritual and because of your bleeding heart I knew you wouldn't let me handle this alone." Ethan said smiling.

"You little snake. I am so going to be getting you back for that."Christina said jokingly as she have her friend a nudge.

Meanwhile at Gringots.

The Gringots head goblin was working until he noticed a Quil that has layed still for a long period and was only left as tradition out of respect for the darker times started writing.

The Gringots head goblin was irritated that he'd have more work until he took a look at the paper and recognised John his name as the ceremony master and quickly took the scroll and went to the ward master's who educate the Curse breakers. "One of our Curse breakers in training oversaw a naming ritual." the head goblin said handing it to the group of ward master's.

One of the ward master's have a smile. "Johnathan good student. Polite thought he was cheating us while in hiding from persecution. This shows otherwise. They found a unamed foundling. Possible source of riches. Must be old blood from before stature. Name isn't familiar but Stupid Wizard asked if we know what happened after showing us memory. Must be connected. Foundling had no name or relatives otherwise magic would not accept naming ritual. We must reach Johnathan use employee Portkey he has. A lot of knowledge lost or destroyed by stupid wizards we must look into this." The head ward master said smiling imagining robbing the Stupid Wizards of an ally or even riches.

The head goblin nodded giving a smile.(a goblin smiling is creepy when you think about it)

Back at the house.

John was preparing to setup the Runes for a indoor greenhouse as the others had a few festivities officially welcoming their new member as one of their own.

Emily and Milly were arguing about a nickname for Leo. "Leo it's Leo not little dragon." Emily said arguing with the house elf with a teasing smike

Milly knew Emily was just teasing her and it wasn't a serious argument so she just went along. "No little dragon is little dragon not a lion." Milly argued back.

Ethan was just laughing at the unlikely display Infront of him. He'd never imagined a house elf playfully arguing with a human. "This is pleasant" Ethan said as he sat down near Joseph still looking at the Emily and the house elf argue.

Joseph smiled at Ethan. "That it is. Milly and Emily are coming out their shell. It's good for the kid and good for the house elf. I know you folk don't like the idea of a house elf with it's own opinion but it grows her self worth and determination. Maybe it will bloom one day into being able to stand up against bad orders for our own safety." Joseph said.

Ethan looked at Joseph as if he were insane then thought for a moment. "House elves have been serving Wizards and witches for a long time. If I know the approach we had to domesticate and break anything that was a threat to us. If you'd have said such things to me Two years ago I'd call you an insane Muggle but when I think of our approach to things and our rules through the ages I can't believe how blind and arrogant we've been. House elves are better at Wandless magic. Leo his tome was child's play to Milly. I'm happy Sarah made me see the foolishness that runs rampant and look into our traditions with a more keen eye to divide our dogma from true magically related traditions." Ethan said before becoming silent and thinking of his deceased wife.

Joseph put a comforting hand on Ethan's shoulder. "It's alright lad. I'm sure she'd be proud of you. Taking her niece under your care. And if I'm not mistaken you're plotting to raise the kid like the other magical folk without the stupidity so I think she'd be proud of you." Joseph said before taking out a cigarette but not finding his lighter.

Ethan just gave Joseph a kind smile before lighting the cigarette using his wand."Thanks Joseph and Maybe break that habit we wouldn't want to see just how good the potions are. I mean you aren't limping anymore so that's already good." Ethan said laughing.

Joseph looked confused at Ethan. "I didn't drink any of the magic potions. I thought you lot were tending to our wounds using your magic? I mean it ain't just me the other muggles have been feeling better."

Ethan looked at Joseph and started to ponder. "Hmm the song part happened when we all wished to share our comfort and good fortune with others. It's possible the high amount of magic coming from the Wardstone is the culprit. Their magic is very intent based while our own is based on fine control." Ethan said calmly. I should ask John about the activity of the Wardstone. If it's intent based then the intent that was used with creating it might have given it some personality. Combined with the strange sacrificed soul within it could be the cause. I should research it, Luckily it's proven benign. Ethan thought.

In the house Cellar.

The Wardstone was glowing and its magical output was still rising when the Dovah's soul used within it finally settled completely blank only slightly remembering being in a sea of others like her having lost themselves within a large sea of her fellows until she was ripped out of the sea of her fellows. Not remembering what she was before ending up in that strange place but the knowledge and memories of her fellows she recalled and a language but nothing more not even her name or if she was female or male but she did remember when she was freed from the sea of her fellow the desire imprinted into it's new abode. Family, care , aiding others. Brod, Aak, Vokrii. Brodaakvokrii is my Kos, my being. The soul within the Wardstone thought. As she remember hazily responding to the desires of those within her care. She know she didn't identify as female before but she knew like her Aedra nature they choose their gender based on personality. As she now felt more nurturing then dominating she identified as female. She felt as if the house her abode of those in her care she was tied to felt off it didn't have the high amount of ambient magic she thought a place should have neither did some of the denizens inside. She remembered through her hazy memories she was attempting to fix this strange sickness she thought it was but as she wasn't fully aware she couldn't focus on it but now she could but didn't want to harm her mortals so focused on them firstly those she felt a direct connection with. She would slowly tend to the others as she learned from them. She felt the worry of one that felt similar to her their worry for one of its denizens so she took care with her mortals.

With Christina in the Healing ward.

Christina had left the festivities to test the potency of the potions on the three remaining wounded members but as she was about to feed a healing potion to one of their denizens that was hit with the Statue curse then she noticed something. The curse was not as far as it should have been. The curse was known to petrify and only because of a diet of potions could the process of turning the victim into stone be halted.

"Something is fighting the curse. But the potions should have stopped by now." Christina was confused the reason the Statue curse had no counter curse was because either the magic would conflict with the potion to halt it or the turning into stone was to fast to find a counter curse. Christina quickly casts diagnosis charms on the patient and noticed that the ambient magic within the house coming from the Wardstone seemed to have been directly fighting the curse. Great now I only need to find a way to break and undo the curse it's effects. I wish I had finished my education in St. Mugos or had acces to the other healing tomes since Leo's servant only have us the beginner one with just one spell. Christina thought. As she started to overview the diagnostic charm results in more detail.

Back with John in what would become the indoor Greenhouse.

John was working on a ancient Runic array to make a indoor greenhouse when he felt the Wardstone within the house become more lively. "Shit! what now. Im getting sick and tired of all the traditional stuff and weirdness happening lately." John complained outloud as he felt irritated by everything going on lately just wanting to work on some Runes or read a book but then he felt the Wardstone reach out to him through the bond and he felt strange not in a bad sense. As his mental and physical exhaustion of both caring for the others and continued work started to wash away being replaced with a refreshed feeling and vitality he hadn't felt since before the war when he was younger and could eat well. Sweet Merlin that feels better. He thought as he could focus on his work. "Thanks" John said outloud not wanting to anger the unkown nature of the Wardstone.We will have to bring this up with Leo's servant when he returns. I know currently it's benign but I need to understand what's going on. John thought as he continued his work with a refreshed view and started to approach the Runework again.

Back with Milly, Emily and Leo.

Those two finally stopped arguing about nicknames. But now it's about responsibilities. If the system was stable and actually have me all my Nirnian spells I would use telekinesis right now. Leo thought as he noticed Emily and Milly argue about who has to feed him.

Accidental magic (Potter-verse) triggered

Accidental magic Leveled up

Leo noticed that the feeding bottle both Emily and Milly were arguing about who got to feed him with floated to his mouth and he started to drink.

Emily was slightly let down. "No I'm the big sister now I should help take care of little Leo."

Milly just laughed. "Little dragon must have been hungry. It be house elf task to take care of young ones but if mistress Emily wants to help sometimes Milly would allow it. Cause it seems little master doesn't like us arguing." Milly said looking at Leo.

Wait does Milly know that accidental magic is caused by emotional stimuli or emotions. Of course she does she's a house elf. She probably raised some wizards or witches before. Leo thought as he was drinking.

Ethan laughed at the display of Emily and Milly and slowly stepped towards them. "Alright it's almost time for Leo to rest. I'm sure the bouts of accidental magic has made him tired." As Ethan finished saying this. Emily seemed saddened since she wanted to play with Leo.

Milly turned to Emily. "Don't worry mistress Emily. Little dragon is young when he gets older you can play with him." Milly said comfortingly as she took up Leo and apparated with him to his room.

Leo's room.

Milly had put Leo to bed after the feeding and changing his diaper but she noticed he wasn't falling asleep just looking at nothing and giggling for some reason. "Little dragon is happy what is little dragon planning. No bad dangerous magic. Milly was scared last night." Milly said before giving Leo a peck on his head and apparating away.

Leo just layed there. Well good way to ruin the mood Milly I was just planing to look into the store function while you thought I'd be resting. I didn't mean to scare you. Leo thought saddened by worrying the house elf before. How do I make it up?

Wiseman:Maybe check the limitation of the store function it did say you would be able to buy books from this universe. It didn't say they were limited by time or being destroyed and it would be a good investment and test.

Hmm. Clever but how would we explain the books especially if there were ones thought to be destroyed or lost .Leo thought.

Wiseman: Family Library. They are your caretakers both by contract and infront of their government because of the ritual. It would make sense to entrust them with books and tomes with the excuse of your education.

Well shit. Worst timing ever and I'm still waiting on my missing spells. Still time limit unknown is worrying . Leo complained mentally.

Wiseman:While the time limit being unknown is worrying you shouldn't complain. Not to mention the main objective could literally be obsolete because of the store function.

I know but still that'd feels like cheesing it. Then again the rewards is a Rune Schematic. So we could build more then one. Leo thought smiling. Store Buy all healing books of the Potter-verse.

Store:

Filter recognised.

warning some books require specific Traits as parseltongue or have a Protean charm. do you wish to continue

Yes. Also add all books about ancient Runes. If I'm going to cheese this quest I might do it fully. Make it a library that would make any Ravenclaw like John happy. Not that it's much to me yet. I'd gain unwanted attention from them if I already went nose deep into books. Not that I'd collect books just for knowledge. Knowledge is useless without the ambition to use it and expand it. Nor the cunning to keep it hidden from others. Leo thought.

Purchase? Y/N

Wiseman:Wait you're thinking for once interesting though I agree with your statement how are you going to explain it?

Uhm would I have to really? I mean they think I'm form a secluded family. Even if we aren't well versed in Runes thanks to the Dremora butler saying it wouldn't mean we wouldn't have books about it. Look at it this way Wiseman the Dremora butler would do anything to keep me safe and is seen as a servant of me so it lying or obscuring information would not be too far fetched. Not to forget that we are seclusive. Ancient Runes point to something of olden days. So as long as we don't know the current margin we technically aren't lying if we said we are no expert's on anything.Not to mention that because the hostilities inflicted on my surrogate family during this war means they are being very careful. Now you do the math. They'll be focused on strengthening themselves including my protection . Leo thought Yes purchase it. Leo saw book titles fly as the Septims were removed of his inventory.

Wiseman:You are right that you can't say you're stronger or an expert if you don't know what to base yourself on. It seems like you are laying the groundwork for your surrogate family to stand stable without intervention of either Dumbledore or Tom clever.

Yep now showtime. Let's hope the Dremora butler isn't going to be a wise ass and give his own spin to things again. Leo thought as he summoned the Dremora butler.

"Yes young master what do you require?" The Dremora butler said politely.

Simple thing also you can call me Leothric or Leo now. They named me. Now to the reason I summoned you. it's quite simple really. Ensure they have the building blocks to work off. I have books with both wisdom of this realm and Nirn. But we need to ensure our books are handled with care so that's where you come in. Because of the lack of healing tomes and desired survival of your little weak master you have bent the rules so to say. Let's just say you'll leave some books of ours in their care but that only those from their group can read it but secrecy and care has to be mainted about the books so nobody outside our contract has acces to the information. It might confuse them why the tomes of that originate from this world are under such restrictions so we'll play the secluded family part saying the tomes were hard to get without being noticed not to mention the memory charms and price of them. They can aid others but should remain their secrecy but never ally themselves with Dumbledore. Maybe in worst case scenario to cause a distraction I'll let them use some of my enchanted gear. Leo thought.

The Dremora butler only laughed and nodded it's head.

Meanwhile in the Cellar of the house.

Ethan was slowly heading towards the Wardstone room but it felt strange the closer he got the more potent the ambient magic became until he was at the door and right as he was about to open it. It opened on its own and what he shocked him. The Wardstone was glowing in a bright mix of Golden and blue hues mixing. "Leo when you are old enough we will talk about that overzealous servant of yours." Ethan said outloud as it was uncomfortable for him to be in the Wardstone room. Why is the magic so potent here but not in the rest of the house. As Ethan thought this the magic surrounding the Wardstone retreated compressing around it to make Ethan more comfortable.

Brodaakvokrii noticed one of her mortals going near the room where she resides and made the door open for him as she felt that the Nirnian amount of ambient magic they aren't accustomed to was uncomfortable for him she pulled it closer to the Wardstone she resided in. They still need to adapt to the amount of magic I naturally fill the air with. I should let them slowly adapt to it. It invoked change in the sick mortals who do not rest. Brodaakvokrii thought since she saw the low amount of magic within the mortals that dwelled within her as a sickness needed to be carefully healed. She noticed the mortal that felt like a warrior had positive effects to slowly having the small spark of magic that all life shares being fanned into flame. That mortal it's body focused on healing itself with it first which she found interesting.

"Right strange soul that isn't capable of dying within it. And it's aware." Ethan said in designation. "At least it's benign. Emotions of comfort magic always just within our comfortable amount. Adjusting it when it isn't. You're alive and aware. I hope Leo won't be such a headache growing up. Hmm if only we could communicate with whatever you are." Ethan said outloud but then calmly lifted his wand to the Wardstone and casted Legilimens at first it felt as if fighting against a ravenous Dragon.

Brodaakvokrii felt her mortal attempting to gaze within her mind hitting her natural defenses she quickly actively defended her mind from the unknown magic leaving a message in the mortals head. "Do not attempt to read my mind Joor. You may be one of those in my care but I will not lose myself again. When I find a safe way to communicate I will. For now I'll do my duty."

Ethan fell backwards and felt his legilimens probe be hit back strongly. "Ok not a fan of legilimancy and whatever you came from made you lose yourself. That explains the aggressive defenses." Ethan said outloud. So however it came from Leo it must have made it lose herself which means their might be others. Leo's family magic involving some immortal souls is troubling. At least it is thinking of talking but hasn't found a safe way. Which means it's learning. It's focus on Safety shows a sign of care and since it could easily break my mind if the force behind it is any sign. Ethan thought as he left the Wardstone room and went to his room to focus on what he learned from the interaction to write it down.

Meanwhile in Gringots

A worried goblin of warding team was talking to the goblin responsible for Gringots their business Portkeys going behind his supervisors back. "Can we pull Johnathan here using his employee Portkey? Or send a message?" The worried goblin asked the goblin responsible for Portkeys.

"Not your department. Your head of warding must request this." The goblin replied.

"You don't get it old blood is involved. Possible riches and a wizard family not under our control through economy or censored by ministry. It's a foundling. Head of warding foolish in trusting wizard employee. We must take the foundling and take riches for ourselves. Just get rid of foundling. Prevent it being turned against us." The Goblin warder responded.

"Hmm true. I will let you use the Portkey to try and pull employee here." The goblin responsible for Gringots it's Portkeys replied since the reason that didn't work Infront of a desk but preferred to only be limited to the employees of Gringots was his utter disgust of the treatment they got from wizards and the belief that Godric Grifindor Gryffindor stole from the old goblin king along with the other conflicts between goblin and wizards so this felt fair.

As the goblin Warder attempted to pull Johnathan to Gringots with the adjusted employee Portkeys Gringots uses. He instead got pushed back by a shot of lightning and The strong wards of Gringots bank buckled heavily as if they all were struck at the same time.

Back at the House.

Brodaakvokrii felt something magically tug at one of her mortals to transport them. One she is directly connected too. She forcibly intervened with the connection and in her anger of someone trying to break into the Sanctuary she manages for her mortals she send a warning to them her magic reaching through the connection that tried to pull her mortal away without his consent and wanted to kill the one responsible for their fellows to see. Qo She thought just one word meaning lightening would be enough to harm or kill the one responsible while his fellows would take the warning. Sadly she had no body to shout it with but the magic followed the intent and meaning of the word not in a thu'um but a spell as if it been cast Wandlessy and silently weakening it more.

Back at Gringots.

The goblin Warder was badly hurt but the wards of Gringots kept him from being shocked to death as they recognised invasive magic. Sadly the Wardstone in Gringots was pushed to its limit and the wards only held because the Portkeys were Altered and goblins having had previous hostilities did their best to ensure no hostile magic would use their Portkey as a direct link to harm them combined with the goblins approach for their own safety covering contingency wards and Wardstones for other contingencies if another war with the wizards broke out.

the goblin responsible for Portkey was terrified. when he noticed what had happened. "We need a healer here." the Goblin shouted.

The effects weren't just limited to one area within Gringots. the goblin guards were on high alert heavily patrolling around looking for any signs of an invader or possible more attacks. while the head goblin of Gringots and the head Warder went to the head of transportation.

"What happened? Are the wizards attacking? Are we being robbed? " The head goblin asked.

"No. one of our Goblins responsible for employee Portkeys allowed acces to one of the warders to pull an employee here. It seems there was a direct response so it couldn't be a wizard casting a spell but a automatic defense and retaliation to the attempt. It almost made our ward structure collaps we are currently on our backup Wardstones but are still secure." The head of transportation said.

"An automated ward response did that. This will cost us time to restore the original Wardstones. Tell the guards to stand down and continue normal operation. This is coming out of the warders their riches and will be reported to the king." The head goblin said.

"I didn't approve any action. Which employee was attempted to be pulled here using our Portkeys?" The head of warding said not arguing about the cut in funds it was common for goblins to attempt to scheme against wizards while it was uncommon to fail or cause such a result he could understand why it was attempted.

"Jonathan Simmons, Curse breaker in training." The head of transportation answered.

The head of warding was nervous. They'd normally not care for one cursebreaker in training but this was one of his promising students and employees ontop of that he was respectful to the Goblins and they insulted him or something protecting him "The goblin warder who attempted it. Where are they?" the goblin head Warder asked.

"Being brought to healers. they are scorched and they most likely will be scarred for life. The wards took the brunt of the force." the head of transportation replied solemnly.

the head goblin of Gringots turned to the head of warding. "This is dangerous your student is threat to Gringots."

"No Jonathan isn't good enough in Runes to create defensive wards like that. Neither can we. It must be family heirloom of ancient magic protecting them. Foundling it's magic heirloom is protecting it's location. We should attempt to ally with them and gain access to item responded like this. Admitting our mistake would be best but not the effects of it. Get foundling as ally of Gringots even if it means cooperation with filthy Lowe. If foundling or family of it grows hostile against us when next time we have war with wizards we will be in trouble." The head warder responded worryingly.

The head goblin of Gringots nodded. "I will bring this up with the goblin king. You try reach your student or Lowe. We will need to prevent hostility if you are right." the head goblin said before heading to meet with goblin king.

A little while later with John.

John got as far as extension charm for the greenhouse but couldn't wrap his head around the other requirements of a greenhouse. All the Runic shemes he made fell apart. "This is harder then I thought no wonder specialist get hired for this."He said as he suddenly noticed the Gringots employee badge that doubled as a Portkey in his pocket was lighting up similarly to when he was called upon during his studies to fall in for someone else. "They need me for something. Ethan still needs to head to Gringots with the kid for a blood test I should head to them. Milly!" John shouted.

Milly appeared Infront of John.

"Yes master John?" she said politely.

"Get little Leo and Ethan. We are going to Gringots." John replied. If they are against us using the employee Portkey I can always offer them a business arrangement as a middle man for Leo's family. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. Ethan thought as Milly apparated away

Meanwhile with Leo.

Milly apparated in and noticed The dremora butler holding Leo. "Master John asked for little dragon. Little Dragon's servant should give Little dragon to Milly for master John."

Why do they need me now. I mean the hole naming thing is done. Isn't it a bit early to do anything else? Wait i can use this Dremora butler insist on accompanying Milly for you have business with John. Leo thought.

"I could hand the young master to you but I also have need to talk with John on things which can't wait." The Dremora butler said calmly.

"But Milly is ordered to get little dragon and master Ethan. You as servant of little dragon should know I have to obey." Milly argued as she was about to try and punish herself.

The Dremora butler nodded. "I could come along it isn't against your given order."

Milly smiled and nodded "Smart servant of little dragon. Milly will take you along." She said as she grabbed the Dremora butler and apparated it along with Leo to Ethan.

Ethan was writing and pondering about the situation surrounding the Wardstone when Milly, the Dremora butler and little Leo apparated into his room. "Merlin. Milly what's going on?" Ethan said in suprise.

Milly looked at Ethan. " Master John called for master Ethan and little dragon. Little Dragon's servant also needed to talk to master John." Milly explained.

Ethan looked at the house elf then at the Dremora butler. "Fine let's go but I'll be questioning Leo's servant later about the peculiarities of the Wardstone when this is over." Ethan said sternly looking at the Dremora butler to get his point across. Just when is the situation around Leo going to calm down. Strange Wardstone. unknown magic now John needing something. I'm going to need answers if I'm going to raise this kid. Ethan thought.

Welp I feel like I'm causing unwanted commotion. Leo thought.

Milly quickly apparated them all to John.

Back with John.

John was suprised to see the extra passenger with Milly. "Now first things first. Leo's servant I currently have no time to handle anymore things so you'll have to wait here. I know you don't show up without reason we currently are busy so why don't you return later." John said bluntly.

Wow he must be really stressed if he is being so blunt. Just comply Dremora I'll summon you later. Leo thought.

"Well that's unexpectedly rude. But fine I'll be back later but it is of importance considering our cooperation and my young master's safety is in your hands. I only wished to share some books and tomes from the family library which would have to be handled with secrecy but since you are preoccupied I will take my leave for now." The Dremora butler said before handing Leo to John and disappearing.

Ethan sighed. "I was going to have to discuss something with Leo's servant but first why did you call us?" Ethan asked. John only replied with pointing to his Gringots employee badge. "Oh they need you and you think of putting a blood test for Leo in-between the meeting. Clever but wouldn't they be against using the Portkey function to transport us in. I'm sure they'd count it as a breach of trust." Ethan said.

"Yeah but if worst comes to worst we can use business proposals with the kid's family as a bargaining chip. Now we got to go." Ethan said irritated and worried about the situation. It's strange for his badge to be used to reach him as he is in hiding during the war.

Wait? I'm a bargaining chip? They are going to do that blood test now? Then again using a call to put some request on the table is smart. I just hope it wont backfire. Leo thought.

Wiseman: It is pay attention and learn those tricks. If it backfires or trouble arises use that Dragon priest mask that has an ability to summon a spectral dragon priest.

Meanwhile at Gringots.

"So he's been called through his employee badge?" The head Warder asked the Gringots head Goblin.

"Yes the Goblin king agreed with your theory about a heirloom being responsible and since ancient magic based on intent is mostly lost giving the Wizards the advantage with their wands we cannot easily win the next conflict. Since the child is a foundling of a family unknown to us they won't have a account manager. Our approach is to see what we are dealing with and try and gain a profit. Ensure their riches become our own or that foundling is no longer threat to the goblins be it making them an ally or other means." the head Goblin said seriously as they waited near the drop off point where employee Portkeys are keyed to. Suddenly the defenses inside the drop off point kicked in.

John and the others used the Gringots employee badge as a Portkey and firstly appeared within the normal drop off point but then fell through a hole that opened up under them leading directly to the dragon den where Gringots keeps their guard dragon's and their eggs. This was setup so if any employee betrayed Gringots using their Portkeys they'd end up having to deal with dragons defending their eggs.

"Oh shit" John said scared as they fell through the hole and ended up in the dragons den and noticed they fell into a dragon her nest with a dragon sleeping near them.

"Quiet make no sudden movement remain quiet." Ethan said softly. Leo it's official you are a magnet for trouble if we make it out of here. I'm going to use blood tracking on you and find a way to keep you inside and out of trouble. Ethan thought.

Leo was utterly scared at seeing the dragon and impulsively began to cry waking the large black scaled lizardlike dragon. The yellow Slited eye looked at them directly. Why is it a Hungarian Horntail? Why couldn't it be a less aggressive species. Leo thought scared to the point he almost fouled his diaper.

The Hungarian Horntail first growled at the Intruders ready to scorch and eat them but as it's groggy sleepy mind cleared up and it smelled an unknown hatchling smell coming of the small wizard it got angrier and raised its claws to strike at the Intruders who she saw as a threat for the strangely shaped hatchling but as she lift her claw she smelled and felt the distress coming from the hatchling it was scared of her. It slowly lowered its claw and gazed at the Intruders not attacking to not frighten the hatchling.

"We aren't dead?" John said in relief looking towards Ethan.

"I've noticed It's strange Hungarian Horntails are aggressive even for dragons. I think it sees Leo as a scared hatchling. It would explain the strange behaviour. If the kid was an adult she'd probably tear us to pieces as a show of Dominance to another dragon." Ethan said. Sweet Merlin. I hope this kid never looks for a familiar knowing his affinity with dragons it might be one and I'm sure I'd already be turning grey by then.

Wait big scary murder lizard sees me as a hatchling. Thank god for the baby body. Leo thought happy for small mercy's but was still wary of the dragon.

"Wait so Leo is seen as a young dragon hatchling. Should we slowly step away." John asked since he was no expert on dragons.

"No we could anger her remain still" Ethan replied.

The Hungarian Horntail noticed the strange strong feeling hatching calming down a bit so she slowly moved her snout towards it and the wizard holding it. Looking at the nervous wizard holding the hatchling and she then rubbed her snout against Leo. She realised that by magic the young hatchling was attached to the Intruders. Not it's family but something similar caretakers. The Hungarian Horntail stood up to it's full-size and pointed to the a door in the distance then back at the Intruders in her nest before growling. Causing other dragons in the room to wake but they didn't attack no they made a path to the door.

Back with the goblins.

"Well if that sound is anything to go by your student is dead. we'd better go check in case." The head goblin said unattached and coldly.

"No not enough screams or growls." a goblin guard said. "The dragons aren't wrilled up. One was angry before but I think they landed near a hatchling that's keeping them safe. Dragon's wouldn't risk their eggs or hatchlings."

"Wasn't that a Hungarian Horntail growl before. She doesn't have a mate. The ministry doesn't let us breed her kind." Another guard replied.

"Then another hatchling was in the nest of the Horntail. We know dragons form flocks and care for one another's hatchlings. They'll probably be encircled soon enough and roasted." the previous guard replied until they heard something unexpected from the hole a giggle of a child.

The head goblin was confused and looked at the Ward master. "We need to get down there and check with any luck the foundling and your student might be taken out only slightly wounded. Still using an employee Portkey to take another along. it's their fault for what happens to them" The head goblin said only getting a nod as a response from the head Warder.

Back in the Dragon nests in Gringots.

John and the others calmly made their way past the dragons to the door still in utter disbelief and confusion a curious dragon hatchling stepped in their way towards John. John was nervous as was Ethan. Dragons are known wizard killers maybe this younger dragon didn't agree with the others who were letting them pass even if it was a Welsh Green one of the more tame dragons that weren't known to be hostile and only hunt prey this was still an xxxxx beast and had a flock around it that would defend their own. But what happened next shocked John and Ethan more the Little Welsh green hatchling when it was near John was licking and pushing it snout near Leo causing Leo to giggle and move his little hands to push at the dragon.

Quit it that tickles. Leo thought as he tried to fight the onslaught of ticklish tongue and snout rubs from the Welsh green.

"Uhm Ethan I can't really move with the Welsh green hatchling blocking the way." John said in a confused tone.

"It's better then being eaten try petting it. It seems friendly." Ethan commented calmly. I should have just told Milly I was too busy today. When I get home I'll need a stiff drink. Ethan thought.

John petted the Welsh green garnering it's attention and onslaught of licks and snout rubs aswell. The other dragons first defensive when John's hand went to the Welsh green hatchling calmed down soon enough. After some petting they made it to the door without scorch marks the Welsh green must be a few months old already able to control it's breath as they approached the door it opened and the goblins that came through were suprised to say the least. But as John and the others went through the door they were followed by the little Welsh green who still attempted to lick and rub it's snout at Leo to the point even the goblin dragon handlers gave up attempting to part the dragon from the group but they followed along in case the Welsh green became violent.

Ethan sighed "Just what we need more things to worry about. Merlin's beard can't we get one normal day." Ethan said outloud looking at the Welsh green and the confused Goblins. The Goblins kept up face at the feeling of Leo's high amount of magic and draconic sense he gave off.

the head goblin looked at Ethan. "Mister Lowe. I presume. We'd like an explanation for the current events please follow us." The head goblin said leading John , Ethan, Leo and their green scaled companion along to a meeting room.

A little while later in a meeting room in Gringots.

The head goblin spoke what he understood of the situation. "So if I understand this correctly so you took an employee Portkey here so you didn't have to risk the public entrance to prevent possible threat of the current conflict brewing. Normally we'd be seizing your assets Mister Simmons. But as we also made a mistake with forcibly trying to call you here and the situation surrounding it we will let it slide." The head goblin said in a calm and unattached tone but this was but a facade. The goblin expected to use the event the Wizards just caused against them ridding them of the blame of their failed forced summoning of John but instead planned to profit of it. Seeing and sensing the child's affinity for dragon's made the head goblin certain to unravel what he could about the perculiar foundling.

"Thank you sir. My apologies we've had a bit of a hectic few days not because of the war but because little Leo and his family Servant. Sadly I cannot speak to much about it. Except that we were looking to integrate little Leo in the wizarding world after a blood test." John said as he felt a tug at his magic because of the contract.

Ethan was trying to keep the Welsh green that followed them away from Leo. To the amusement of some confused goblin guard's who enjoyed seeing a wizard struggle in any form. "Bloody green overgrown lizard stay away from Leo he is a baby not a hatchling he can't play with you." Ethan said in annoyance.

the head goblin of Gringots nodded trying to understand the situation. "Right the foundling. You said he had a servant I presume a magical contract is preventing to much being said about it. The blood test can be handled while we discuss our business." The head goblin said as suddenly a scream could be heard as the Welsh green bit Ethan playful but didn't think of it's strength.

"Bloody green lizard." Ethan swore. When will the goblins take this dragon away I'd rather not have to explain why the kid is hurt.

"That would be perfect. Ethan go with the kid to get his blood tested while I talk." John said turning to Ethan.

"As long as they make sure the Welsh green leaves sure." Ethan replied.

The dragon handler's came in to remove the Welsh green who spat fire in protest and whined and growled being pulled away from what it saw as a hatchling and playmate. Luckily they weren't near the Dragon nests or else even the handlers would have to deal with a flock of dragons being angry at the forcibly removal of a hatchling.

"Thank you." Ethan said kindly and with gratitude as he was lead to another room for the blood test.

"So to the point. We noticed the gems and jewelry you sold to us for Galleons. One of our own got greedy when they figured out you had a foundling and wished to forcibly summon you here. Which had some unpleasant side effects. Now we've discussed the event and Gringots bank wishes to mend the damages incurred to our relationship because of it." The head goblin said professionally and unattached.

"That's no problem. We weren't aware of such an event. I thought you required my services rather rapidly so considering how I was treated by the goblins and our recent trade. I thought I'd help while getting the business retaining to Leo over with. I think my desire to focus on my duties might have caused the response. May i ask what happened?" John replied. What event? Did the Wardstone intervene with the forced summoning and take my desire to focus on something as intent to be left alone. I need to know what happened. John thought.

Unaware! They were unaware of the effects and it works on intent while not being a taxed to harm one of our own. I should not let them know the extent of the situation. The head goblin of Gringots screamed mentally. "It's alright the event left the goblin in question temporarily incapacitated. Nothing to harmful he was going against the wishes of those above him and didn't get away with it. But can I ask what caused the retaliation and what business you are conducting for the foundling?" He asked.

"Oh i sadly cannot say too much magically binding contract. If you were extended within it. The warders would have a field day his servant went overboard having it made so quickly. As for the business nothing much opening a vault for Leo. Getting a account manager assigned and investment. The child comes from what we suspect is a reclusive family from before the stature was enforced." John said calmly. Nothing to harmful then I worried the Wardstone would be overly defensive.

The warders would enjoy it. He is dropping hints of desire of cooperation so he requires our aid with it. But cannot speak about it. It also isn't an heirloom but recently made by a servant as a proxy at least. Their willingness to say the contract is open for other parties combined with the goals shows the desire to grow influence and wealth. The head of warding funds will be limited for a while unless we fork it to another method. Say if he'd become a account manager the shares decidedly given to the account manager could limit the impact on his department. The head goblin thought calmly scheming"Strange wouldn't those families be met with caution. But isn't the blood test then not required the chance of them having non-magical ancestors is likely and wouldbit harder to be recognised as a pureblood and by extent his house as a minor house. Not to mention the child's Draconic nature and high magic make it more likely he is a half breed of some sorts. " The head goblin replied.

Meanwhile with Ethan and Leo.

Ethan carried Leo to a room with a goblin at a table near a bowl with runic marks on it and a lot of Scrolls a quil and a dagger on a stand. Ethan stepped towards the table. "We are here for a blood test. You can't use or take the blood of my charge for anything else." Ethan said calmly.

The goblin felt annoyed since freely given blood is potent for rituals or other means. And the goblin wondered what the child's blood could be capable off. The goblin took the dagger. "Hand please." The goblin said normally.

Wait they are going to cut me. let get this over with. Leo thought in fear of the incoming cut as Ethan took Leo's arm to over the hand which was held above the bowl with runic marks. The goblin cut him in a swift motion and a few drips of blood fel into the concoction of the bowl.

The runes of the bowl glowed bright as the concoction bubbled and the quil started to glow as well.and wrote Leo's name on two Scrolls before the both scroll flew in the concoction.

after a while the concoction seeped away from the bowl and the goblin took it and read it first to see the results. then again to double check. No Non-magical people on scroll the strangest thing was the line leading to a symbol of a golden dragon on the scroll but the names of direct descendants and who that golden dragon represented were written in strange symbols the goblin could not translate. But the colour of the names all showed they were magical in nature. It was normally common for the ministry to demand the use of full Scrolls to check newcomers to the magical world so they can be suppressed by their impurity in their bloodline but the goblin didn't expect the result to be the opposite and gave Ethan one scroll. "Keep it hidden Wizard. Now go I have business to do." the goblin said taking the other scroll and leading Ethan out. Ethan tipped the goblin before leaving.

Ethan opened the scroll slightly then closed it again. "Now that's dealt with let's get going." Ethan said calmly

That keep it hidden wizard was strange since when do goblins give advice for free. Leo thought worrying

Back with John and the head goblin.

John calmly sat there. "So while he was sleeping we detected no signs of him being a half breed. So could we get a account manager for Leo. His servant wishes to invest in both the muggle and buy lands so when Leo grows up he has a stable income. No matter his blood status that would still be a way to start cooperation. Of course Ethan has to agree since he is the child's magical guardian. The contract that we are bound to isn't limiting just we have lost our sense of normalcy a little." John said calmly

The head goblin of Gringots sat there. Cooperation with possibility of being brought into the magical binding contract if a unknown servant agrees. Losing sense of normalcy is understandable the wizarding world is stagnant and much is lost then the foundling servant let's something akin to an ancient magical heirloom be made and it works on intent and somehow would make the warders happy to look at. Johnathan is most likely pushing the contract it's permission to the limit. Cooperation would be good but if a Lowe raises him with the stigma of Pureblood's it would be harmful we need a way to influence them and keep others from influencing the foundling if we not only wish to profit but gain an Ally.But if we hand in rearing the foundling it would make it bond to us and we'd have a ally or threat we know. ."Say we wish to cooperate. The foundling is under the eyes of A Lowe. Now I will put this as simple as possible we do not trust wizards. We haven't had anything returned to us for our cooperation in the wizarding world. We are denied wands and looked down upon. Our different belief of ownership aside since only those considered goblins can own goblin gear in their line. Tell me what is to prevent Lowe turning the foundling against us?" The head goblin asked.

"Good question. But what do you propose? I mean there are rules of secrecy and a magical contract involved. Not to mention I'm not the magical guardian but I will swear on my magic and life right here and now that Ethan isn't as bigoted and foolish as the other Purebloods. He was disinherited by his family because he loved a Muggleborn and warned me about how hard it is to gain a goblins trust or just acceptance. That I should consider myself lucky." John said his wand ready to swear on his magic and life.

the head goblin of Gringots was surprised. Now I can ensure the Foundling not become stupid wizard and make them see our ways. the head goblin thought "Hmm then could you convince Ethan to let the child be tutored by Goblins in our ways and tradition. He will have to fight like any goblin when they turn 5 to proof themselves. But would be recognised as a goblin should he be taught. This will calm our worries about Lowe and will be good since many Wizards forgot the old ways of fighting with weapons and training their body. Making them overly reliant on their wands. Make no mistake this isn't a kindness we goblins are a warrior people at heart. We will not treat him different then any goblin. Some might distrust at the start because of the history with wizards but would it would be good to help them grow and not become foolish like most wizards." The head goblin of Gringots said but as he finished another goblin walked in and spoke to him in gobbledygook. What the entire family tree all has magic users no non-magicals in the family. That would make it easier to make the foundling recognised as a Pureblood but we should not share the full information and keep it out others their hands it would attract attention and make others mess with our investment. the head goblin thought as he awaited John his answer

John felt divided. He couldn't decide the kids fate like that without thinking about it. he'd need to bring it up with Ethan. "I'll ask Ethan. it's going to take a while but if we do. Can we pick a certain goblin to be the account manager?" John asked.

The head goblin looked intrigued. "Yes if the goblin agrees with set terms. But if accepted the Account manager would also be the teacher for the child about most goblin traditions. It is a lot of work." The head of Gringots replied.

John was thinking when Ethan came back in holding Leo.

Ethan looked at John. "The kid's a pureblood alright. Just a little more then pedigree." Ethan said looking at John.

"Should you bring this up here Ethan?" John said.

Ethan laughed. "the goblins always keep a copy of the results both for their own good. Or information to sell at the right price." Ethan said bluntly. "So they already know. Now the kid is causing me even more headache. All those in his family could use magic." Ethan said looking a few years older.

Well. Duh my body is based on Nirnian standard. Magic there isn't exactly rare. I mean Jeez everyone can learn at least a form of it. Leo thought.

"You know us well. Most wizards don't pay attention to such things. Unless they wish to buy information." The head goblin replied.

"Ethan the goblins offered a cooperation beyond the normal treatment if we can extend the contract to them and if they can teach Leo goblin their way and tradition." John. said looking at Ethan who looked shocked.

"Listen I know you goblins are a warrior people but I don't think the kid would be able to fight at age 5. Yes I've read about your traditions and customs. I can't decide this in good conscience without the third party being the kid's servant involved." Ethan said . And I don't trust you lot what would you get out of this deal learning the child a way of a warrior people and fighting you'd have to give him similar rights to a goblin within Gringots and your kingdom. Unless oh they want the kid as an ally as well. Hmm cooperation with the goblins would be smart but as his magical guardian the raising is my call but not the contract. Ethan thought.

The head goblin nodded. "Then when could this third party show themselves for a meeting."

Oh fighting at age five that is well. I don't know I was planning to just be a wizard sure with my overly enchanted gear I could fight at that age. Maybe If I farm dungeon's when I'm old enough to stand on my own two feet. Hmm this might be the perfect opportunity. Dremora Butler. Leo thought.

The Dremora butler appeared and quickly all Goblins weapons were drawn at him. but he remained calm and stoically still.

"That would be the third party. Now we can discuss it. I honestly don't know if he would approve his young master being taught by you at the side and having to fight at five years old. while accepting you in the magical contract." Ethan said calmly. If he does I don't even want to know by what insane logic he would see it as good and I'll honestly wonder why on the one hand he'd make a potent wardstone and on the other risk his master's future and wellbeing like that. Ethan thought sceptically as he noticed the goblins lower their weapons.

Just say you accept if only the account manager is allowed to extend the contract too until further notice. that they help keep Dumbledore and the ministry from puppeteering my life. The detailed discussion will be held sperate with the account manager. Leo thought.

the head goblin looked at the Dremora butler. "How did you get past our wards and defenses?"

The dremora smiled at the goblin. "Trade secret for the safety of my little master. But to the reason I'm here. We accept to the terms only if the account manager is extended to the contract and the ministry and Dumbledore are prevented of intervening with my young master's life. The detailed discussion will be held with the account manager. Of course we will not let our new partners and allies be left with no profit but we cannot just hand everything on a silver platter. I know you profit of it someway already but giving the account manager permission to know about things covered in the contract would allow them to rethink your stance." the Dremora butler said. "Just incase you were attempting to harm my master or his surrogate family." The Dremora butler said calmly.

Only letting one goblin know and let them say the best approach without spitting the family it's secrets. They are testing us. Hmm Jonathan said that the warders would enjoy what they have. If the head warder Stoneclaw accepts the position of account manager it would put a trusted goblin on the inside and would show If they aren't trying to fool us. The head goblin smiled which creeped everyone besides the Dremora and goblins out. "Hmm might I advise a familiar goblin to be your account manager. Perhaps try to convince head warder Stoneclaw?" the head goblin of Gringots said calmly.

John smiled "Stoneclaw is a good teacher he can be trusted plus he'd be good to have around from time to time. I'd allow him acces to our abode." John said.

Ethan just took John's word for it.

Well a goblin is a goblin. I guess if John and Ethan trust him.Leo thought as he looked at the head goblin cooing.

Later back at the abode.

Stoneclaw reluctantly accepted the position for 10 percent of the profits on any investment of the family. Ethan bargained the same 10 percent of all advancements made for the goblins using the knowledge of Leo's family. Which he even more reluctantly agreed to but it was fair and he wanted to know why he had to sign a magical binding contract which honestly wasn't limiting just keep secrecy. Ensure the child's family wealth and power grew and keeping the two manipulative forces from affecting them. Stoneclaw and the goblins would already have prevented the ministry and Dumbledore from affecting their new investment too much anyway.

the moment Stoneclaw entered the house that was protected by a Fidilius Charm he felt the waves of ambient magic.

John turned to Stoneclaw. "The Wardstone it's effect on ambient magic takes some time to get used to but isn't hostile to us. the intent based effects of it well you've already noticed the effects what a simple desire to be left alone working did. Luckily it wasn't too bad." John said smiling but Stoneclaw wasn't smiling he recalled the report and learned the head goblin of Gringots kept the situation surrounding the event low and underwhelmed it.

Stoneclaw shook at the thought of what sort of monster of a Wardstone replied to intent magic. "I'd love to see it. Ancient runes and Wardstones are ancient arts. Not to be mistaken for Ancient spells like the Fidilius Charm but think more of ancient runes was to write effects into being using the natural flow of magic. As for Ancient forms of magic without runes we Theorise about it but to much was lost. We know that loving sacrifices and events can trigger it."Stoneclaw said falling into lecturing teacher mode to steel himself.

Ethan just smiled knowing what awaited the goblin.

Dremora the books speech also maybe mention looking for some old rune schemes for them. Leo thought

The Dremora butler calmly interrupted them. "I cannot stay for long John so I'll say this quick for our cooperation with you books of my master's library will be shared do not harm or destroy them or allow information about them or within them to fall into hands of those outside of fellow contract bound or allies." The dremora said while Henry dropped all the books he bought from the store before this little trip and all the Nirnian restoration magic books he had in his inventory. "Put them away carefully treat these books well they aren't yours but little master's use the knowledge within well. I've got to look through some old rune schematics to make this abode more fitting for our needs." The dremora said before disappearing.

Stoneclaw looked at the books and recognised many rare books some ancient but they looked new and couldn't help but look in shock. "Is this normal around the foundling's servant?" Stoneclaw asked John.

John nodded "Normalcy left this house when Leo came here. Especially considering the Wardstone. Milly at least won't run out of work if this becomes normal. it started with a ring and the jewels gems and gold but now it's books. I can only imagine what they hid from us all and how large the Leo his inheritance is." John said trying to hold his excitement of reading the books.

Ethan sighed. "Ravens. while you are going to the Wardstone I'll go get a stiff drink. I wanted to see the goblins response but the insanity of the books just made me want to drink and call it a day." Ethan said walking of carrying Leo. I need a stiff drink then the kid is going to have his little nap . I've had enough of all this insanity in a day. Let John handle the Goblins and books. I should make some plans to spend time with Emily. Ethan thought while he walked off.

Stoneclaw looked at John then at the books again. "I can see that. the foundling's family must have hoarded knowledge a lot and in secret to have all these books without anyone knowing. It seems the servant is preparing you for the war with all that is given. Now let's go see this Wardstone that has got you so shocked."Stoneclaw said.

John smiled and lead the way to the Wardstone room in the cellar the door opened itself for them.

Stoneclaw was still adapting to the ambient magic which was rather aggressive towards it. As if what was effecting it mistrusted him and only accepted his presence. When he walked into the Wardstone room the goblin saw something he would not have envisioned in his wildest dreams. The Wardstone of unknown materials perfectly crafted like a piece of art singing with magic but a little detail unnerved him as he noticed the golden glow within it. Stoneclaw had seen sacrificial Wardstone before but the soul within it scared him but also made him want to have it for his research and fellow goblins their security. "That wardstone! How the sacrificed soul within doesn't seem normal it can't die. it's just tied to it aware and alive." Stoneclaw said in shock.

John nodded. "We figured it out before. it's still growing stronger but seems to be holding itself back. Leo's family magic is a scary thing to see up close. Just his blood and materials of his inheritance caused this. According to Ethan the family magic was triggered by its creation causing well this. We don't understand it but Ethan said the kid had a similar glow coming from his eyes. it's aware luckily it's bonded to both me and well little Leo because his blood was used in the Wardstone. We've used runes to limit the range of its effects to the house well unless something inside triggers an intent based response from it." John said calmly explaining what they knew.

Restricted it's most likely following your intent to keep itself restrained. The foundling's family magic is connected to something that shouldn't exist. I am happy that whatever the soul was from doesn't walk among us or ignores us. We need to make sure the foundling becomes our ally and extend the contract to the goblin nation. Stoneclaw thought worryingly at the prospect of hostilities since he felt a unknown Draconic nature seep from the Wardstone similar to the child but instead of slumbering it was awake dominating and scary. "Could you make the glow of it cease so I can study the Wardstone itself." Stoneclaw asked John.

John looked at Stoneclaw. "I don't know I would like you to see the ancient Runes on it. it's well written different then we write them. Some parts I can read basic binding soul part and channeling runes even if they are written differently." John said but as he said so the glow on the Wardstone retreated so the ancient runes on its surface were readable and not blotted out by the potent glows of golden and blue.

Stoneclaw quickly stepped towards the Wardstone to try and read the runes and then only a few words left his lips. "Who did the Runework? There are runes here that are known not to cooperate. The runes are sometimes drawn different. Some which I theorised could be written differently but never got to work." Stoneclaw said as he looked at the ancient runes on the Wardstone. To him it truly was a piece of art and craftsmanship. Dangerous but still a work of art. Those Runes don't work like that. the spacing and differences seem so strange. Could it be that we are writing them wrong. That our exceptions and rules are just shortcomings for not understanding it. This is madening. I worked with ancient Runes longer then most of these wizards we have robbed foolish wizards to gain more knowledge and it account's to nothing. Stoneclaw thought irritated.

John looked at Stoneclaw. "We don't know just some secluded master who won't remember. The servant gave up one of his strangely potent potions to ensure it was made from the Wardstone we bought on the auction. Since the servant wanted Leo's safety and didn't spare an expense using their own materials. The servant said Wardstone and Ancient Runes weren't their speciality so if this secluded master is what they consider specialised while they aren't following our norm of mastery or basics. Considering the Wandless chantless magic they've shared we can say we are lucky that master is secluded and doesn't want to interact with others. I mean who considers wandless magic basic besides that African wizarding school. Not to mention what we sold you is what they considered junk or useless. I mean it was handed to a servant and was seen as insignificant." John said filling the goblin in.

Made from that old damaged Wardstone as a blueprint. A unknown master of the craft. The foundling family is dangerous. And all it costs them was a potion. I'll need to talk to the head goblin as soon as I can we will arrange to vow a mutual alliance with the foundling's family. Not to mention the pure insanity of their contacts. I wonder what they are specialised in but their wealth worries me more if they call those gems and gold junk what to they have. Stoneclaw thought. "I see I must return to Gringots to speak with the head goblin I've seen enough. I'm going to enjoy being the account manager for the foundling. If any more treasure should be sold tell us."

John smiled at Stoneclaw. "Just take a tenth of the Galleons we made for the previous selling out of my vault and apply them wisely I think you would make profitable investments. I think we both will be reading in the library alot don't remember the 10 percent. I wouldn't find it strange should I ask they would hand me more to work with since they want to make this place more fitting." John said smiling.

Stoneclaw could only think of the gold he would make. Sure the deal Ethan convinced him into begrudgingly was first a loss in his eyes but now. He was bound by the magical contract and he could read those books. He could already see the gold piling up even if there would be 10 percent for the foundling.

"I will do my best. Jonathan while you are in hiding I expect you to continue your education using the books provided by the foundling. I will return shortly and aid in covering the subjects within. Our warding department just found a golden opportunity." Stoneclaw said happily letting his joy out envisioning the riches and honour he would gain for brokering such allies and was looking forward to teaching the foundling goblin traditions. Stoneclaw used a Portkey to return to Gringots.

John have a sigh. "I thought they were scary when they were stiff a happy goblin is scary too." John left the Wardstone room and went to read and organise the makeshift Library.

Meanwhile with Ethan.

Ethan was talking with Joseph with over a pint. "I don't know if I can handle this Joseph. I mean Leo's family and the situation surrounding the kid is insane. The entire family tree had magic in it. I'm expecting to wake up in that medical ward or Saint Mugos again. I'm an Auror not an unspeakable researching in the department of mysteries. Morgana's tits. I don't know if I can handle little Leo his antics on my own. I also got to take care of Emily." Ethan vented drunkenly at Joseph.

Joseph laughed and nodded. "I agree with you. it's how all Muggleborn their parents felt when covering magically related things but you better be listening lad. Did anything relating to the young'un harm any of ya?" Joseph asked looking at Ethan.

Ethan thought for a second. "Except for being a shock and a suprise no. it's all be good heck even the kid's incidental magic got some of the Muggleborn form during the tale got the Muggleborn wondering what it ment. Some think it's what truly happened or not. But nothing bad happened except for a dragon nibbling on my hand a little too hard." Ethan answered.

Joseph smiled at Ethan. "That was instead of being mauled and eaten by what you said was one of the most dangerous and deadly of the buggers and that it was playing. My advice is the British attitude. You know let it come but as long as it ain't harmful ignore and laugh at it." Joseph said before drinking some beer.

Ethan laughed and nodded. "You're right. But I still got Emily and you all to think about. Especially when your bad knee stopped giving trouble without a apparent cause." Ethan replied.

Joseph smiled wavered and then turned serious for a second. "It's not just my knee some of the muggles have been noticing old wounds disappearing and even grey hair returning to colour I asked around when you were acting weird. It all started since last night when that stone was put up and activated. I think it be something to do with the young'un's magic. You been saying it works on intent but what was the young'un missing when his magic acted on it. He was hurting lost his family and needed care and protection. I think the lad magic imprinted it in the stone thing but I am not magical so I wouldn't know." Joseph said.

Ethan suddenly felt like hitting himself. "That makes sense and it would explain why it wouldn't want to talk if it would hurt us. it's been looking to help us and is learning." Ethan said and smiled at the now sleeping Leo.

Christina heard the two men talk from the hall as she was taking a break from trying to undo the statue curse when she heard them and quickly interrupted. "Wait you have had strange things too. The three wounded remaining in the medical ward all have been stable. The only one not actively improving is the statue curse patient but the curse is halted in its tracks and you said it's learning and aware." Christina said.

Ethan nodded. "Yeah it doesn't like legilimens I was going to ask Leo's servant but he left to look through Runic Schematics. I think he isn't agreeing with our living arrangements. We were packed like sardines. " Ethan said calmly taking another swig of his drink.

Joseph looked at Ethan. "Still didn't you also say the Goblins want to educate the young'un in their tradition and have the lad fight at the age of five. I'm not sure if I should be worried or pity the goblin." Joseph said laughing a little.

Ethan smirked. "Definitely pitty. Their wandless basic healing magic is strong. I've noticed more books like those being brought in with some different books. I can only imagine if their healing magic is so strong what he'd be able to do in a fight." Ethan said smiling slightly.

Christina gave both men a judging look. "You accepted what? Letting him fight at five years old even if what they see as ordinary or even basic magic shows signs of hostile environments doesn't mean you should allow that. I'm disgusted by your choice Ethan." Christina said lecturing Ethan.

Joseph spoke up. " You shouldn't judge him. the servant agreed as did John. I'm sure they know what they are doing." Joseph said before getting up and heading to his room.

Christina just left she and went to her room. she didn't agree with the choices but the more she pondered about why the child's servant would accept such an arrangement the more worried she got not for little Leo but the goblins.

Meanwhile at Gringots.

The head goblin of Gringots was doing paperwork when Stoneclaw entered his office. "Hmm it seems they were overreacting if there was something that would seek your interest and fancy you would have remained there for much longer. Right Stoneclaw?" the head goblin of Gringots asked Stoneclaw. At least the child will taught in our traditions growing up as well to ensure he won't be as foolish as the wizards who wasted Stoneclaw's time. The head goblin thought.

Stoneclaw simple shook his head. "No it's the opposite. I cannot say because of the contract but I urge an alliance be made. The foundling's interest be protected without the begrudging compliance and sabotage we tend to treat the wizards with." Stoneclaw said sporadically. He still seemed excited and there was a spark in his eyes.

The head goblin looked confused. "Hmm Tell me what you can then Stoneclaw why should we?" The head goblin asked.

" The child's servant dropped of books. Some we guard from wizards fully undamaged or touched by the winds of time. Some we don't recognize. The cause for our harm is still growing in power and learning. It was most definitely responsible for both the event the Ministry asked about and the harm to our warder." Stoneclaw said in a serious tone as he felt a strong pull at his magic for going to close to the contract it's limitations of secrecy.

the head goblin noticed Stoneclaw jerk as a side effect of the contract. "Hmm you would risk your magic and life to tell us this. I will want you to accompany me. We will also conduct the other business. having them recognised as a minor house would still be good. But ensure it's done subtle use the old treaties and traditional back channels. I will talk to the goblin king. Stoneclaw ensure a good impression this might be one of our profitable ventures and considering we are at war we need something to fall back on. Their willingness to both buy within and without the magical world is useful and trying to profit of this war by buying out and investments is going to make this an easy account to manage without any bigoted limitations imposed. I'm sure you can handle it." the head goblin said.

A few hours later at the ministry of magic.

The current minister of magic was rather focused on the current conflict sadly paperwork waited for nobody. Amongst those seemingly insignificant piles of paperwork was a recognition form of a minor house

Meanwhile back at the house.

John was going through the books that arrived and he suddenly wanted to bang his head into a wall and what he found would most likely make most Runic warders and those who study Ancient magic want to bang their head into walls as well.

"I can't believe it we might be able to read written in runes but there are nuisances I can't understand. Even pictographic runes for specific words or multiple meanings some we didn't even realize. Some missing runes alteration of the runes for specific usages and runic schemes." John said thinking outloud sighing looking at the book. I'm happy that the books are translated to English and have notes on the subtleties of the Runes their meaning but who translated it. I'm going to need Stoneclaw help with this. Looks like we are going to have to rewrite the guidebook on Ancient runes. John thought.

Meanwhile in Gringots.

Stoneclaw was smiling ear to ear. He was looking at the magically binding contract the foundling's servant made him sign as if it was a treasure and went to work on managing and investing the galleons not with malicious intent most goblins would do but a plan to both gain of his 10 percent but to as the head goblin of Gringots and The goblin king instructed even if he preferred working with Ancient Runes but he wasn't entirely against the situation. The wizards have them the carte blanche for the foundling's main riches were elsewhere which slightly irked the Goblins a wizard not in their controlled economy was dangerous but only the strange family servant could acces it now and seemed to be playing the long game.
