Chapter Seventy-Six - Misconceptions and Misunderstandings

"I think it is…" Murmured Souta. Kagome choked on her drink before scolding and telling him to be quiet.

"Georgie, it isn't fair to your family. We all miss Fred, you cannot play with our emotions like that!" Molly's face was red, whether from fury or not George wasn't sure. "Our families are meeting and you-"

"Thirty-five liters of water, twenty kilograms of carbon, four liters of ammonia, one and a half kilogram of lime, eight hundred grams of phosphorous, two hundred and fifty grams of salt, a hundred grams of saltpeter, eighty grams of sulfur, seven and a half grams of fluorine, five grams of iron, three grams of silicon and fifteen traces of other elements." George looked at her. The words flashed some memories on him but he couldn't grasp their meaning. "That's the basic chemistry to produce a human body. However, there isn't a known incantation to bind the soul to this kind of body. What was used on Fed were bones and graveyard soil." Molly, Arthur and the Weasley Children turned to her. "You cook a clay body with these ingredients and use a bit of dark magic to summon and bind the soul to the puppet."

"What are you talking about, dear?" Molly's voice held a tone George knew too well, the same she used when waiting for Fred and him to explain what they did before the scolding session started.

"The mechanics to bring back to life are quite simple, as long as the soul isn't reincarnated. Then you would need to find the reincarnation and go over a painful ritual. I'm not sure if anyone can actually do it unless they are..." She stood up and bowed. "What I mean is: I'm sorry if this offended you. I knew how much it would mean to Georgie to see his brother one last time but it never occurred to me it would affect you too."

She cried heavily, the salty drops staining her clothes. Her hands trembled and she kept her gaze lowered. George stood and embraced his wife. Fred rushed to his sister-in-law's side and assured her that she did nothing wrong - maybe except involving herself with some dark, and probably forbidden, magic. It would sure cause Shippou many problems should anyone know he possessed that kind of knowledge, but, even knowing the youkai for a short period, George doubted he wouldn't know how to stay out of trouble.

Percy was the one to speak for his Kagome, Fred, and George and validated their claim.

"It's true, mum. I cannot go into details because I'm not sure if I want to know exactly what they did, but it's really Fred and he was brought back to be with his family one last time."

"But- But- This must be forbidden! No, dear, don't think I'm not pleased or grateful but I'm sure this breaks at least a hundred laws on human experimentation!"

"Now that you mentioned, I took the liberty to search for this and there's no law that covers this exact situation."

"He isn't an Inferius," said Ron.

"And no one's trying to pass as Fred either" added Harry.

"I don't remember any mention of animation of clay dolls using dead human souls anywhere in the books," concluded Hermione. "There's no crime if there wasn't a law that prescribed the action as a crime. And dark magic isn't forbidden as long it's not used to harm someone else."

"I knew I liked her for a reason," Fred whispered to George.

Molly said nothing else, seeming to be still digesting the current events. Ginny's words seemed to finally convince her.

"With Fred and George, anything is possible if you've got enough nerve. Do you really think they wouldn't try to defy death?"

When Kagome sat again, George heard Souta saying, "You forgot to mention the Transmutation Circle and the risk of losing a leg."

"Or the whole body," she added with a wink.

The penny finally dropped. George forgot how much of a nerd his wife could be.
