Boiling Hogwarts


'What do you mean Harry?!' Sirius asked as he shot up, all thoughts of the fact that he was a grandfather and the fact that is daughter was right in front of him going out of his head for the time being, what his godson had just told him worried him more' Out the corner of his eyes he could see Luz sit forwards ready to listen to what Harry had just told him.

Harry passed him the letter, panic in his emerald green eyes which he had inherited from his mother. SIrius started reading over the note 'The Bloody Bastard!' he could only sigh out loud as luz read over his shoulder, interested to find out what was going on. He passed the ;letter over to her to let her read it properly as he ruffled Harry's messy black hair which he had gotten from James 'Don't worry Kid. Dumbledore won't let Fudge or Malfoy lay a hand on you.'

SUddenly Luz spoke up 'actually, I don't think you would even need Mr. DUmbledore. It says here you're in trouble for casting magic in front of "Muggles" which I assume means non magical people and for having already broken the law once before….but you didn't use any magic last night at that did you? I was with you. They tracked my magic but technically you didn't cast any magic so you can't technically get in trouble with these weird laws.' Harry's eyes widened and I turned 'Luz you're a Genius!'

Luz blushed bright red getting a compliment from her dad, she wasn't that smart, she was just piecing together the information she had at the time and she KNEW she had been on the phone with Amity an hour before the accused time and after that call she had been with Harry. Smiling at the kid she gave him a warm smile 'don't worry kid, nothing is going to happen to you' she was already getting the need to protect him in the same way she felt for King, the kids, Amity or even Eda and Lilith (Despite them being much older and more experienced witches) which really suggested he had a big impact on her last night.

Harry sighed in relief. 'Thank you both of you….I should probably get back to Hermione and Ron….i kind of bolted out of the room without telling them what was going on.' Harry slowly creeped out of the room as Luz and Sirius returned to the conversation they were having before he rushed in, asHarry closed the door to the room he heard Luz Noceda ask 'So do you want to see a picture of them?' A Picture of who or what Harry wondered. He made his way back through the winding corridors of Grimmauld Place. Honestly he had no clue how he tracked down Sirius and Luz in the first place. He just ran to where he felt like they were but he had no idea where he had actually come from.

Thankfully his friends had left the room to come and find him as he heard Ron say 'Harry mate?! Where are you?' He yelled back 'I have no clue Ron! Meet in the middle!' He followed the wall and Ron's voice for a few minutes as the house seemed to lead him in circles ... Honestly he wouldn't be surprised if it was from everything he had heard from the other two. Suddenly he heard the door next to him squeak open and he was sent crashing to the floor on top of something ginger….maybe not something but rather someone. Harry pushed himself up as he started to Apologize rapidly to the teenage girl he had just knocked over 'Ginny! Oh my god I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention. Here let me help you up' As he helped Ron's sister up from the floor.

Ginny was blushing bright red as her crush spoke to her but unlike how she had acted in previous years she said calmly 'Harry! Calm down, it's fine. I should have been paying more attention to where I was going myself!' Grabbing hold of his arm hoping to calm the 15 year old down. Ginny knew she had to get better control over her emotions so since coming back from School for the holiday's she had been reading a lot of meditation books which were allowing her to focus even in "stressful" situations.

Harry calmed down and said 'So we were both at fault then' they both chuckled nervously, not entirely sure what to say to each other. After a minute Harry was about to say something when suddenly Ron came crashing down the corridor interrupting 'Harry, You Alright mate?!' Harry turned back around to face Ron 'Yeah, SHould we head back to the room?' ROn grinned at his best mate when suddenly Hermione crashed into all three of them, sending everyone crashing to the ground again 'Ronald! Wait up!' she said as she crashed into him.

All of them groaned but they couldn't help but laugh at the situation, the thoughts of the oncoming darkness escaping their minds as they acted like normal teenagers. Harry couldn't help but wonder if this was what Dudley acted like when Harry wasn't there and he wasn't near his parents. They all helped pick eachother up and Hermione turned to face Ginny 'Oh hi Ginny, do you want to join us? We were just discussing what we were hoping to learn this coming year before Harry burst out of the room.' glaring at Him as she said that.

Shaking her hands she said 'Sorry I was actually about to go down to the Kitchen to help mum with the cooking for Lunch. Talk to you later though Guys!' She left with a slight skip in her step much to the confusion of the other three. Hermione rubbed her temple and said 'Okay why did you run out of the room Harry?' Before then muttering 'how have we survived this long' Harry rubbed the back of his neck nervously showing the piece of paper to the other two, waiting for their reactions.


Sirius was gushing over how cute his two grandchildren looked before asking 'Hey….what's going on with those pointy ears? Everyone in the picture apart from you has them.' Luz smiled, turning off her mobile/cellphone 'IN THe boiling Isles all the "human" like people are actually a sub-SPecies which branched off Hundreds of Thousands of years ago that now go by WItches. They have different internal organs and part of the changes are pointy ears.' Sirius nodded extremely interested in what kind of world his daughter seemed to reside in.

Suddenly something popped into his mind which made him ask 'Earlier you seemed to use magic by using pieces of paper, you said that it was because you couldn't use the magic that comes from all of our wands and that it came from these boiling isles. Can I ask what you mean by that?' Luz nodded 'So I'm what I believe you call a squib? I can't cast magic in your way ...but because I'm human I also can't cast magic in the same way that the normal Witches in the Isles can either. Without a special Sac that's connected to my heart I can't cast a spell Circle with my hands. So I use these Glyphs. They are powered by the magic of the Titan I mentioned beforehand. When I was just starting out I could only use 4 Glyphs and only when I was in the Isles but with time, training and a lot of failure I eventually managed to gain enough of the Titan's magic within me to be able to cast the Glyphs wherever I am. The power grows stronger the longer I reside there. To make up for the disadvantage I would have here in the human realm I have weaved my clothes out of the remains of the Titan which helps power me up.'

Although he didn't entirely get it, he understood enough to be able to say 'SO what are Spell CIrcles' Luz could only chuckle as she thought about how to explain them to him. Because she hadn't used one since that time she body swapped with Amity (Prior to that Eda) before deciding to say 'I think showing you might be the better idea, my girlfriend should be coming over before too long so I will show you then.' Sirius nodded but Luz wasn't done explaining 'But the Glyphs aren't the only way I can cast Magic. I also have a staff which I can use' Holding her hand out summoning Owlzura to her. She waited and waited…..nothing came then suddenly there was a bash and clang and a Teenage Girls scream as Owlzura shot towards her hand.

It went shooting through the door but instead of colliding with her hand it hit Luz in the head making the room spin. Shaking the new dizziness away, Luz picked up her staff 'This is my staff and Palismin. Owlzura here is basically a source of Magic created by me and the Titan. I can use Owlzura to cast magic in a more typical way of Witches in the Boiling Isles. Between Owlzura and my Glyphs I'm considered one of the most dangerous witches in the Isles due to my quick thinking.' Sirius nodded fascinated by the owl on the top of the staff. He could only help but chuckle 'It seems you've lived a good life kid, i'm glad. Even if I didn't get to be part of it.' She put a hand on his arm. 'But you get to be part of my life now and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon.'

Sirius let a single tear fall down his face as he opened his arms for a hug which Luz dived into 'I have two amazing mamá and now I've got you.' Sirius swore at that very moment he would do anything in his power to protect his newly discovered daughter and his Godson. Luz then asked 'So what are you going to do to prove your innocence?'


The Next Day


Luz straightened her brown jacket out frustrated about how crumpled her magic had made it, despite the fact she was going to a British Wizarding World Court today she had chosen to go for extremely casual wear to make the British Wizards and WItches underestimate her. She really found it weird with how many male Magic users seemed to insist that she called them Wizards seeing how in the Isles most Males still called themselves WItches and that included Below and Principal Bump. Grabbing her Beanie from her pocket she pulled it on which made her longer hair sink down in front of her face much to her frustration. Harry who was wearing his smartest robes couldn't help but laugh at Luz who was seemingly making a fool of herself. Despite being one of the most powerful people he had met a couple nights earlier she seemed like anyone else when she acted like that.

Arthur Weasley was keeping his eyes on his watch saying 'Where is he?!' as Mad Eye Moody burst through the door 'It's room 901' Arthur looked up at the old Auror 'Thanks Alasdair, alright folks let's head off!' Luz summoned her staff to her, turning it into a long brown Baseball Bat that fitted over her back thanks to a small gap in her jacket which allowed it to hang comfortably. IT was really a holder for the staff but with a slight usage of illusion magic she made it look like a baseball bat was being held up by her coat. Both Harry and Luz followed Arthur out of the building just as the rest of the street started to wake up. Luz assumed that the Wizards would push forward the Trial by a couple hours because of how many technicalities they seemed to be trying to use so they were leaving several hours earlier than originally planned.

When Harry had left his room both Hermione and Ron had been out for the count after another night of playing games and catching up with each other. Ginny had woken up early to help her dad get everything ready for the day. She had been extremely insistent on helping her parents the past couple of days which worried them but that didn't mean Arthur and Molly didn't appreciate their help, especially with how Ron provided basically none.

Luz was humming to herself as Arthur led them through Muggle London to the Muggle Underground where they were given several strange looks because of what Harry was wearing….it was deeply unusual for non Con season even by London's standards. When they reached the Underground's bathrooms, Arthur said 'Luz, use the second or third Stalls. Stand in the toilet and flush it, you should arrive at the Ministry of Magic. Okay?' Luz nodded, heading off towards the Woman's bathroom.

Turning to face Arthur Harry asked nervously 'Why do we need to go into the toilet to arrive at the Ministry.' Arthur rubbed his neck as he led Harry into the mens bathroom, The muggles built the toilets on the existing floo network and nobody from the Ministry decided to change it….so yeah...oh look the two stalls we need are free!'

Walking into the stall Harry looked around very confused before he heard a splash from the cubicle that Arthur had gone into. SIghing He stepped into the toilet which seemed to be larger than he was expecting before pulling the very old fashioned toilet handle which sent him spinning down through the toilet. When he opened his eyes he was in a bustling hall with people rushing towards a giant golden statue of a Wizard stepping on magical creatures. Harry couldn't help but think to himself this is what the ministry of Magic prides itself on? Putting other creatures down? Luz seemed to notice the look on his face 'Disgusting Right?! By the Titan do I feel sick looking at it' before tugging Harry out of the way 'Now get out of there before someone else comes through the flames.' which happened seconds later as a very stern business woman entered through the green flames joining the mass of people making their way towards the statue.

Suddenly they both felt someone touch their shoulders making them jump in the air with Luz grabbing her bat ready to swing it at the person. Turns out they overreacted slightly as it was just Arthur 'Calm down both of you. I'm glad you made it in one piece. Now hurry along. We don't have all day you know!' Joining the ever growing crowd of people going about their constant cycle of work. Luz hated the idea, there was a reason she spent her life exploring and teaching. She was never stuck doing one thing and usually the exploration took up most of her time and featured life or death situations. Even Amity was never stuck in a cycle because of her different jobs and just how much fun her job was. Luz thought everyone here looked dead.

Luz grabbed Harry by the shoulders pushing him in front as they followed Arthur, She wasn't going to let a 15 year old kid walk somewhere where he had never been for. The TWo of them arrived at a small reception desk where Arthur said jolly 'Markus, We have the trial for Mr Potter here' the man Markus looked up at us and said 'Oh hi Arthur, of course. Can I please get your wands to check them over.' Arthur nodded, pulling his wand from his suit, handing it to MArkus who studied it, giving it to a house elf who seemed to scan it with magic before handing it back 'as Always you're clear Arthur, now you Mr Potter.'

Passing his wand to the Man, Harry whispered to Arthur 'What's going on?' Arthur whispered back 'They are taking your wands details in case you do something during your visit. They can track it back to you. It's to stop another disaster of 32'. Which didn't really answer Harry's question but a couple of seconds later he was given his wand back 'Now you miss? Oh and your name?' speaking to Luz. Luz reached for her bat that was on her back much to Markus's confusion before it's shape shifted and it became a long white staff. 'Here you go! The name's Luz Noceda' Passing the staff along to the man who was shocked.

Leaning over to whisper to Harry and Arthur she asked 'What's wrong with him, it's just my staff?!' Arthur whispered 'In the magical community a staff typically suggests a Wizard/Witch had raw power that even a Wand can't channel properly. Not even DUmbledore uses one and he is one of the most powerful wizards in centuries. The last one seen specifically in Britain was almost 550 years ago!' Luz's eyes widened but she took her staff back from the wizard who looked very Worried and said 'Right….I'm sure you know where you are meant to go Arthur. The Trial starts in half an hour.' Arthur turned to face Luz who said confidently 'Told you they would.' he needed just silently leading them towards the Ministry's Elevators.

The Journey towards the trial room was a quiet one as Harry prepared what he was going to say to the Wizard court which he had already been told By Sirius contained the Malfoy's which means he was already at a disadvantage because he didn't doubt for a second that Lucius Malfoy didn't still want revenge for the events near the end of his second year. Uz on the other hand was still pondering what she had just been told by A4thur about how her staff was treated here seeing how almost every adult Witch in the boiling siles had a staff and a Palsimin.

They reached a large circular room where there were at least 20 Wizards and Witches in almost completely dark clothes staring down at a chair in the center of the room. Arthur pointed towards a side area that was barely off the ground 'Harry you go over there' before pointing to the other side 'Luz you over there, I will be up in the stands' before walking off. Luz grabbed Harry's shoulders and said firmly 'Harry you will be fine, say you're not guilty then I will step in...okay?' HArry nodded nervously watching Luz walk into the witness stand as he made his way over to the convict stand, even though he wasn't guilty.

Standing at the stand he awaited for the people in the room to notice him which didn't take long at all as Fudge looked around the room from where he stood at a higher up position from everyone else 'Are we ready to begin' he asked the room. Luz didn't know the man but could already tell that he was somebody who abused his powers and took bribes. The exact kind of person she hated.

From above the two of them could hear sounds of agreement when suddenly Harry's Stand started moving towards the center of the room so they could all see them. The chair going into the ground 'Harry Potter today you are here to answer for your illegal use of magic in front of a Muggle, breaking the statue of Secrecy! How do you plead?' Breathing in and out slowly he replied 'Non-Guilty' There was laughter from several people up around the room and Fudge said 'But Mr Potter, My dear boy you do realise that we have evidence that magic was cast from your location in Surrey two nights ago? With that muggle that's also here right now. Smart idea taking her with you so we couldn't obviate her mind.'

Luz rolled her eyes, they thought she couldn't cast magic. Putting on a show she chuckled loudly 'oh boy this is just too great. You see "minister for Magic" is it? You say you have proof of Harry casting magic except he didn't, as I was with Harry for at least an hour if not more before the time stated in the letter that you sent to him.' Moving from the stand she was on. Reaching the other stand she pressed a hand on Harry's shoulder calming the poor boy down 'You see you believe i'm a so called muggle. Yet I am the one who cast magic that night. Harry didn't cast any magic that night. We were attacked by what I believe Harry here called Dementors? And I defended us'

The Room went silent and Luz could see people sweating up at the top so she decided to continue 'So I'm assuming by your reactions that these dementors aren't meant to be floating around Britain. You know, it would be terrible if the rest of the world found out about this...Magical Britain would become an embarrassment in the eyes of the rest of the magical community just like normal Britain has with this Brexit thing.' Then a voice that Harry recognised all too well 'Why are we listening to her! She is a muggle! For Merlin's sake she has probably been put under the imperio spell and told a name like Dementors to get him off the hook. I say we obliviate her and send her back to the Muggle world! Who's with me!' there was muttering around the room as a small majority raised their hands and the man prepared to cast a spell 'Obivio!'

The door to the room slammed open as Dumbledore's voice rang out 'Mr Malfoy! What do you think you are doing!' The Spell came shooting towards Luz who could only grin. Grabbing hold of her bat she watched the spell come towards her, Professor Dumledore saying in the background 'Miss Noceda get away' but Luz knew what she was doing. As the spell was almost at her she twisted her legs before swinging the bat as hard as she could, the spell collided with it before bouncing back towards the wall, a Grin wide and large on her face.

Laughing out loud she said 'You keep on underestimating me Mr Malfoy, I am no mere "Muggle" I am the Good WItch Luz from the Boiling ISles, defender of magic.' The man started to aim his wand at her once more so Luz said 'Challenge me if you dare, Wizard!' She tapped the glyph on her right shoulder, her Clothes changing to her explorer gear. Her cloth gloves became leather like with Runes covering them, Her Hat shifted down to her neck and became her cloak which was long and Jacket changed into her blue and purple waistcoat while her T-Shirt shifted into a white coat. Her clothes changed and she stared up at the blond haired man mockingly as he jumped down onto the floor. Harry ran over to Dumbledore, both knowing what was about to happen.

Luz put her arm holding the bat out and with a flash of light the illusion magic dropped revealing her staff with Owlzura on top. With one swift flick of her staff she created a circle and a magical circle blasted around the room to protect everyone. People broke out into whispers as they saw her staff.

Malfoy shot a blast of red magic at luz who simply shifted her weight to her left foot letting the spell pass her ear before spinning her staff around multiple times in several large circles, Moving across the arena as she did so. As each circle finished several elements started shooting out, Fire, Ice, Electricity, Air. Malfoy ducked to the floor as the elements crashed against the magical barrier that she had previously put up. Scared alfoy cast 'Stupefy!' The spell barreled towards Luz but before the spell had even started to leave his wand, Luz had already drawn a spell circle on the ground using her staff and shot up on an Ice Block. Using the Glyphs between her Index Finger and Middle Finger she shot out a bolt of lightning that shot towards Malfoy striking his wand snapping it in half.

He stared at the broken piece of wood before cursing loudly, pulling out another wand and yelling 'Crucio!' the spell hit Luz and everyone gasped but she just twisted her neck 'Is that meant to do something?' stepping forwards Luz went down onto her knee 'You're beat!' before swinging the Staff upwards right into his Jaw breaking it. With Malfoy now unconscious she slammed her staff into the ground dropping the magical barrier before Owlzura flew off the top of the wooden staff and landed on her head. Two Men stormed into the room picking Malfoy off the floor and dragging him away. From the man at the top he said sweating nervously 'We apologize about that Miss Noceda, was That your name? How can we make what Mr Malfoy just did up to you.'

Luz smirked and said 'First of all I would like you to wipe any claims of Harry using underage magic from his record. He never used it two nights ago and from the sounds of it you just track magic and not the actual user which suggests that Harry's claim that it was what you all call a "House" elf is true. ANd I also want you to start a proper investigation into what happened with Sirius Black 14 years ago! Harry believes his godfather is innocent so why stop him from actually getting the chance to be with his godfather if he really is innocent' and so I can go and actually talk to my dad outside of that musty house that he's stuck in She thought.

The man at the top stuttered but said 'Of course Miss Noceda, we will get on that right away' HArry could only grin, But she did terrify him slightly, seeing how she had bested Lucius Malfoy and made everyone in the room quake in their boots. He would prefer to not get on her bad was holding onto his shoulder and said 'She would be a good teacher' looking up at the headmaster he asked 'Are you sure Professor?' the old Wizard nodded 'oh I very much think so.' As Luz straightened herself out 'Harry Potter, Not Guilt on all charges.'


Boiling Isles

'Emeria! Viney! WIll the two of you stop making out for one second! I need to get back to the owl house to pick up the kids! Can you guys finish cleaning up here?' Amity asked her sister and sister-in-law, Emeria raised her hand saying 'Yeah yeah, go and look after our nieces, mittens.' Amity rolled her eyes but Started to grab her coat. She had been really missing Luz these past few days, probably didn't help that they were meant to go on vacation right about now.

Amity was walking past the engineering room and popped her head in asking 'Dad? I'm heading home.' Her dad popped up from under one of his Machines 'Oh, okay honey, Say hi to my grandk…' Before walking away following a butterfly. Amity could only chuckle, she hoped that he would never change. Walking away herself she said 'I will dad, night!'

As she left Blight Industries one of the students of Hexside came up to her and said 'Coven Leader Amity! Can I talk to you'. Amity wished she could help the student but she needed to get home to the kids. Looking at the student and crouching down so she was looking at their small Blue face. 'Sure thing, but can we do it tomorrow morning? If you come to my office first thing tomorrow I can have a good chat with you okay?' The Hexside nodded and said 'Of course' Suddenly Amity flet dread and she slapped her face and whispered 'Oh Luz what did you just do?'


Earth

Dumbledore came up to Luz and said 'Well done Miss Noceda, you know I don't think I've seen the Minister look so nervous in a long time.' Luz gave an awkward smile 'I was just defending Harry and then myself'. DUmbledore smiled, 'Actually I want to ask you something.' Luz gace hima curious glance, allowing her staff to disappear again 'Sure; what is it?'

Dumbledore breathed in and out ' If you're willing I would like you to come and teach the students of Hogwarts School of Magic and Witchcraft about your world, How you cast magic and how to defend themselves, How about it?' Luz grinned 'I would love to, Professor Dumbledore.'
