CHAPTER 7
The year passed with little difficulties.
The Islatovs travelled with Vladimir and Ishmael. Almost all of them were business trips; in them they taught Kasha certain quirks of his future role. Meanwhile Kasha got to know better his future business partners and tighten his alliances with all of them. With the girls he kept a tight friendship and all of them asked for Draco.
For his part Draco had more time to tight his relationship with his future wizard partners, since that would be actually his role. He was seen more in the magical world, dances, public performances, etc. He also learned how to deal with certain type of people and with certain parts of the Ministry.
In all the year they were apart, they kept close communication with each other. They knew how everything was with the other, or how certain things were needed to be done. All in all, they kept been children. They did their pranks with their friends and sometimes with their parents and guards.
The adults for their part were happy to spend some time with their sons. They were really proud as how they were learning everything and also the type of young men they were getting to be.
For the boys birthday, since they were apart almost a month from one another, they spent the next two months at Islatov Manor. Everyone knew Kasha would have his school letter before Draco, but both of them decided they would open them together after Draco's birthday. Kasha's been the 21 of June and Draco's birthday was the 11 of July. So they would have a week in between birthdays to celebrate with all their friends. This meaning they would spend their party with their muggle and their magical friends.
For the party they had activities for everyone, even the adults. Some partners would be there also. Of course a prank war was in order, adults vs. the children during the week. If the children win they would get a year worth of candies, if the adults win they would get the latest gadget of the Islatovs Companies. One way or another it was really attractive for both parties and they got really creative during the week.
The children got the advantage the first days, since Kasha and Draco told them about the pranks they had already, but the adults were gaining terrain fast. From water balloons, balloons with pain at every corner, you can name anything. It was almost the last day of celebration and both teams were with the same marks, the Elders been the judges of the prank, so the children were sure drastic measures were in order. After all they wanted a year worth of candy!
Both teams needed only one more prank, so they needed to make it very effective indeed. In a moment of inspiration Kasha and Draco made a batch of the hair colour changing potion they gave Blaise, Vince and Greg; but with a slight change. They knew they had to be very careful with it, since some of the adults had been checking their food and drinks. Not impossible but very hard to do.
The adults for their part were thinking in getting them a very special wake up call. They would have some buckets with icy water and some clue. When they entered their bathrooms another bucket with feathers would be waiting for them. Meanwhile they would be waiting for the children to go to breakfast. All the buckets were charmed at the doors. Nobody say magic wasn't allowed!
The first one to wake up is Draco, he got out of bed and went out of his room to have some breakfast when BAM!
"AHG!" screamed Draco. The next moment all the children ran out of their rooms and multiple screams were heard.
"I think we need a bath before we go to breakfast" said Vince, at everyone's nod all of them go to take their baths. Seconds later other multiple screams were heard. The adults were laughing really hard, since the children were heard going down to see the adults.
When they arrived there everyone was laughing really hard, some of them even had tears in their eyes. All the children had different kind and colours of feathers all over their bodies and even if they had tried to take them out they just couldn't.
"I see you had a good wakeup call children" said Dimitri with mirth in his eyes.
"Not funny Grandpa, but revenge is sweet" answered Kasha. With that the children sat down and began to have breakfast.
ISLATOV CLAN
A week later everyone was talking about the prank war and how the children won their precious price of a year free of every type of candy. In this particular morning Kasha and Draco were with their parents and "uncles" to open up their school letters at Islatov Manor.
"So tell us about your letters" said Dimitri. They knew it would be very probable they had more than one school letter.
"Well, we have to say, we got 4 different letters. One is from Drumstrang, the other from Salem Academy, other from Hogwarts and the last one from Saku Maryoku School (Magic Art School)" said Draco.
"Wow, they are the finest magical schools in the world. I think that you will have a very rough time trying to decide to which school you will send Kasha and Draco" said Ishmael with a little smile. It's of little importance; after all he was Kasha's godfather and head guard, so as the last he had to go with him.
"A way or another we know we have to go to Hogwarts, besides it will be fun; with you and Uncle Sev over there. I'm just wondering if Draco and I can have some courses or something like that from Saku Maryoku. You and Uncle Vlad always say that martial arts are good to find a focus for your magical core and with the force of been a vampire" said Kasha to Ishmael in a sweet innocent voice that everyone knew it would mean a lot for him.
"I think you have a point there son. I'll have to ask Kadaj if it's possible for you to have a tutor at Hogwarts. We want to do things our way, not Dumbledore's" said Ivan. Everyone knew he disliked the man with a passion for what he had done to his friends, especially Severus. He would not give the man the chance to have his son in his hands without protection and also it would be a way to try and get Severus out of there also.
"Then its settle, you will go to Hogwarts. Besides we are sure you will make us really proud." said Lucius to both youngsters.
"I just have a petition" said Dimitri, when he had their attention he said with a smirk "Both of you are Islatovs, and as Islatovs you have your Elders blessing to give as much trouble as you want to that Headmaster, but the Islatov way" with that everyone started laughing. The next seven years would be quite interesting and Dimitri Islatov would be in first row watching the show.
The Magical World and Dumbledore would be in for a very special surprise. They would pay for what they had done to Lucius and Severus, but most of all they would pay for what they had done to his son. Ivan still wanted revenge for what happened to Kasha in the orphanage, but he also knew that a part of the magical community had something with the death of Ivan Jr. and Dimitri.
The investigation regarding their deaths was still going on, and more than one time they were almost certain about the person who ordered the attack; but in the last moment the clue was worthless. He would make certain why you never cross the wrong path with the Islatovs, no matter if you were a muggle or one of the greatest wizards of the era.
ISLATOV CLAN
Meanwhile in Dumbledore's office
Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape and Professor Dumbledore were discussing the fact that Harry Potter hadn't answered his acceptance letter to Hogwarts.
"Minerva, are you absolutely sure Harry Potter hasn't answered?" asked Dumbledore for the hundredth time in two hours.
"I'm sure Albus, besides we don't know if his family will let him come. Maybe they don't allow the boy to come and that's why he hasn't answered" said Minerva in a tired voice.
"Albus, if you are so impatient why you don't ask Hagrid to deliver the letter to the Potter brat" says Severus with certain disdain in his voice. He knew where Harry Potter was, and who was he now, but he would not say a word about it. He loved the boy after all.
"You are right. I'll send Hagrid tomorrow to deliver the letter and to take Harry for his school supplies" said Dumbledore while stroking his beard. That idea had its merits, also that way he could see what did the boy had been doing. Since the night he left him in the footstep of his aunt he hadn't checked on the boy, and Arabella Figg hadn't said anything that proved they were not there.
"Let's the games begin. This will be quite entertaining. The great Albus Dumbledore will not know what happened to his precious boy and he can't do anything to change who he is now" thought Severus.
The next day Hagrid arrived to Private Drive No. 4 Surrey. He knocked the door and a teenage girl appeared at the door.
"Can I help you sir?" she asked Hagrid.
"I'm looking for one Harry Potter please" tried to say Hagrid in a low voice, but been half a giant it was difficult.
"I'm sorry, but there is no one with that name; I don't know anyone with that name" she answered Hagrid.
"By any chance, your last name is Dursley? And if it's not much, how long have you been living here?" he asked with hope in his tiny eyes. He missed the boy during this 11 years and he was starting to get nervous.
"My last name is Watson, and we have been living here for almost 7 years" answered the girl.
"Thank you miss, and sorry about the interruption." With that Hagrid returned to Hogwarts to inform the Headmaster. He would not be happy with the news he had. Harry Potter was very important for the magical world and the fact that he was missing would be devastating to the magical population.
4 hours later
"Hagrid what news do you bring me. Could you deliver the letter?" asked Headmaster Dumbledore. His eyes were twinkling with anticipation. If the boy's family didn't let the boy come to the school, then he would make it quite clear that it unacceptable and would make the boy attend Hogwarts.
"Headmaster, I'm sorry to say I couldn't find Harry. When I knocked a teenager girl told me that she has been living there for almost 7 years now and that they doesn't know about the Dursleys or Harry Potter" finished Hagrid with tears in his eyes.
The moment Hagrid finished the twinkle in Dumbledore disappear. He just had to find the boy! It was important. Mrs. Figg should know what happened. He had to visit her and had all the information so he could make a decision.
"Very well Hagrid, you can continue with your activities." With that Hagrid left and Dumbledore left to have a chat with a certain squib.
2 hours later
"Arabella, my dear, how are you?" asked Albus Dumbledore in a fake friendly voice and smile.
"I'm good Headmaster; tell me what can I do for you?" Arabella said.
"Tell me Arabella, has there been any problem at Private Drive No. 4?" asked Dumbledore once he was seated in a couch and he was pouring some tea.
"No that I can recall, why are you asking?" answered Mrs. Figg a little nervous. Some years ago she had to take some time off because her sister had an accident and she went to help her with her recovery. Since that time, she hadn't seen any out of the normal in the Dursleys house.
"Well, my dear Arabella, it seems we have a problem. We can't find Harry Potter and when Hagrid went to investigate he go to know that the Dursleys haven't been living there for more than 7 years. We have to find Harry so he can be protected, do you understand me? You need to give me any information that can help us." Dumbledore finished with a note of desperation in his voice.
Arabella was so distraught. She hadn't seen any difficulties in the house, but on the other hand she hadn't seen the boys since she returned to her home.
"Well Albus, as I have told you, I haven't seen anything out of the normal. What I can tell you is that I haven't seen the boys in some time now." She answered after sipping some of her tea.
Letting out a breath Dumbledore said "I was so afraid you will say something like that. Well, I need you to ask around the neighbourhood for any information about the Dursleys, even if it's insignificant. When you have any information contact me please" been that said he stood up and with a crack sound he left arriving near the appariation point close to the wards near the school.
Now he has lots to plot and lots to plan. If by any chance Harry Potter didn't arrive as it was planed there would be panic within the magical community. He needed some contingency plan if that happened. He could say that he sent the boy in order for him to get training against the remaining Death Eaters. That plan could actually work! But the fact remained, the boy had to come to Hogwarts, he would see to it.
ISLATVO CLAN
"Tell me Severus, how is our dear Headmaster taking the news about my son?" asked Ivan to Severus by their mirror.
"To tell you the truth he is taking the news quite bad, it seems as if he aged because of the news. He is trying to know what happened, but in the end it will be fruitless, they will never know what happened. It's really good that Kasha looks as much as the 3 of you." answered Severus with a smirk at the end.
"Hahahahahahahaha. Good, good. Just you know the boys were given expressed blessing by my father to create as much havoc as they can to the Headmaster. Ishmael will be with them, they will be some good years to all of us." said Ivan, with an evil glint in his eyes.
"On a happier note, you will come with us for the boys school supplies, aren't you? After all you are Kasha's godfather. That way your fun will begin even if the school year is not in session" said Ivan with concealed amusement.
The next 7 years would definitely be interesting and funny. Headmaster Dumbledore would never knew what was happening and where Harry Potter was.
