6 Meeting the Longbottoms and Architecture

Over the next week, he watched as his Godmother and her husband recovered. When they finally were recovered enough to get discharged he set up a meeting with them as Benjamin Sterling.

At the Leaky Cauldron, Benjamin Came in 5 minutes earlier and choose to meditate and work on his Next Project, A Magical Architecture firm he combined his knowledge on magical and non-magical materials, runes and English architectural styles over the Years.

In the previous week, he had checked over the Weasleys with subtle Legillimency and confirmed that these Weasleys were not evil and had not tried to steal his money. So he thought maybe he would use them as an example of the work of the company and made them win a chance to remake the death trap that was their Home.

Just as he finished making Designs For the Weasleys ancestral home. He heard the knock from the door. He said, "Please, Come in and make yourselves comfortable."

Frank was the first one to come in and get seated followed by Alice, Augusta, and Neville.

Frank was the one to speak up first "Nice to meet you, Mr. Sterling. It is thanks to you that my wife and I were able to recover. We both owe you a life debt so what can I and my wife do for you?"

Harold replied"There are no Life debts between Family" and then passed a paper in which the secret was written 'Benjamin Sterlings real name is Harold James Potter'

Frank looked shocked and his mouth was agape and he unconsciously passed the paper to the rest of the family who all looked just as shocked and looked up to see the glamour fading and in front of them was Harold.

Alice was the first to the jump and quickly hugged him. It felt warm like he was back in his mothers embrace. It was then that he knew that all his efforts were a way to just have a family again.

After Alice had sat down Harold said: "Hello, Godbrother Good to meet you."

"Hi, Nice to meet you too," said shyly Neville. He didn't have the trauma of his uncle till now so he still had some confidence.

After that Augusta asked What was happening and how was life?

Thus he put up his Occlumency barriers and started telling everything to them except the heavens library. But he did leave the hint that he had super abilities. After that, he told them about his suspicions about Dumbledore and his manipulations. The blocking of his abilities and casual dismissal of the soul piece. He told about his theory that Dumbledore wanted him to sacrifice himself so that he could swoop in and defeat another Dark Lord and thus reinforcing his position with the next generation as the man who defeated two Dark Lords for the 'Greater Good'.

Alice and Frank were unbelieving at first but as he continued they looked more and more horrified. Augusta looked very angry, Neville was the least affected by this but you could see the apprehension towards Dumbledore in his eyes.

After that lunch arrived, so I gave them time to process the information while we ate in silence.

After lunch, Alice asks me"So do you want to live with us, Harry?, It would be incredibly lonely to live alone in a huge House by yourself."

Harold asks "What will be the rules of the House, and Currently, I am the Lord of Five Houses and Heir of One another, so I need to take care of my investments, and I am also inventing a Lot of Stuff so I would need to work in silence."

Alice looks uncomfortable with the idea of Harold inventing but eventually gives up as she can see that he can invent without danger "How about this, You stay home for all the time you are not working but when you are working you can go home."

Harold nods at this, the conditions were acceptable. After that Harold invites them to the Potter Manor.

In the Potter Manor, Harold was showing all the changes he and the house elves had made to the house and the newly expanded library.

He also showed them the magical computer with its simulation capabilities so as to appease them of the danger of experimentation.

After that, he showed them the medical bay, where he asked them if they were ever checked by a Fit-bed.

They answered that they had not yet made the time for it. So he offered to check them and they accepted. One by one they climbed up the beds, Alice and Frank were very fragile because of the extended sleep they were in and many of the muscle were atrophied. But it would be fixed in the 3-month fitness session.

Augusta had some scarring in the hearts tissue which would be gone by taking the scar removal potion and getting fit. Neville was the worst shock as he too had blocks placed upon him by the meddling old coot.

Anxiety Compulsion by A.P.W.B.D linked to Magical Core

By this time whatever apprehension they had about Dumbledore had turned into Righteous Fury.

After allowing them to cool down he suggested to them that if they gave him their permission he would replace the current wardstone of the Longbottom Hall with a much-improved ward system and use the old Wardstone's stored energy and the energy of Neville's backlash to power it.

After they gave him the permission we went over to the Longbottom Hall and they took him to the wardroom. There he studied their wards and found them to be only the standard War wards. Thus he went on to create the new wardstone for the Longbottom Hall in a similar fashion to his home.

Next, he linked it to the ward book and the signet ring. After that, it was time to unblock the blocks.

He put his godbrother into sleep and then unblocked every block at once. Immediately the amount of his magical power skyrocketed. The excess energy was first used on his body. Harold estimated that it would probably widen his magical channels and help develop his natural Occlumency barriers.

Since his magical core was not forced to do excess magic under binding it was relatively undamaged. But it would need to settle down to its new size in the following week.

The magic after healing the body was diverted to the wardstone. After getting up he cried very hard probably because of the removal of the memory block over his parent's torture. After that things calmed down we went to sleep.

Next day Harold asked Frank where do wandmakers get their materials. Then he asked if it was possible to take him shopping for wand materials.

After he said okay Harold took the time to create a spell for determining the wand of a person including the length of the wand, type of wood, type of flexibility, type of core, other required materials.

He did that spell on himself, then on all the Longbottoms and noted down everything required for them. He asked Frank to bring Neville along for the shopping.

The results were astonishing he was required to have a Basilisk heartstring core with Phoenix feather from his wood required was elder wood and required to have 12''1/3'

For Neville, it was a Unicorn hair, Rowan wood and 13''2/4'.For all the adults their core remained the same but their woods and length were changed. He noted them all down.

After that Frank, Harry and Neville went shopping for wand materials. They were able to find what they needed pretty quickly and thus they went home.

Harold asked Jeeves to bring a marble slab the size of 1 Square meter. The tile was brought and he began to carve the ritual symbols on the slab.

This ritual which he created was called the wand making ritual. It was of two parts, the first was the spell which gives the list of items required for creating a wand for that individual based on the individual itself. The second was the ritual itself.

After placing the items in the center of the ritual circle, he had to cut his hand to allow the blood to flow through the lines of the ritual. After a series of incantation he pushed all of his magic into the ritual circle the items seemingly melt into different colors white for the feather, Green for the heartstring, brown for the wood, gold color for the metals and seemingly mix into each other and seemingly form the shape of the wand and after continuously pushing the magic for a few seconds the blood in the ritual runes move and the and embed themselves into the wand and the wand was formed. It was beautiful, it perfectly matched his personality, beautiful, elegant with a hint of nobility.

The wand was primarily elder wood but along the wand, the gold metal alloy was embedded with a beautiful design. Pommel rims were coated with the metal and the pommel itself had a texture made with the metal for better grip.

After that he got Everyone else to make/remake their own wands. He could see they were very happy for the extra power. But Neville's wand was immediately confiscated until he turned 10 it seems.

By now both Magical Times and British Times have both had gotten very High Popularity. The News channel and sports channel were also started. They were also a Huge hit.

He later set up the Architecture Firm he also held a 'Lottery' for the Ministry were Arthur 'won' an exclusive coupon for remaking their house and land.

With that taken care of, he started drawing up the designs for the Lily-Flower Orphanage for Magical Children, The Merlin's Primary School and the Ancestral home for the Evans House.

After he drew up the designs he gave the plans to the Architecture Firm to build. After that, he drew rune sequences for his properties and had all the elves under his care to have fun while having fun to draw them on each plank of wood, stone, etc.

The next day there was a news article stating that the COAT was approved as a replacement for veritaserum.

So he put his plan for getting his Godfather out of Azkaban. He sent a computer-printed letter giving the location of Peter Pettigrew, As well the list of questions to be asked like What was needed to be done to get the dark mark, Can you get the mark unwillingly, etc.

Over the Next week, the Orphanage was being built so he got into the search for the perfect Matron for the Orphanage. He found a Half-blood witch who had lost her family in the war, so was working at a Muggle orphanage.

He recruited her For the Orphanage along with 6 other witches and wizards in a similar position. Then he personally sat each of them and gave them a crash course in Occlumency and then when they had a minimum level of shields for better recollection he gave them another crash course in taking care of the orphanage and how to take care of the children, financial management of the orphanage, etc.

For the rest of the staff, he got 60 house elves to maintain a farm for the orphanage, cook the food, cleaning of the orphanage and taking care of the babies.

He found a brilliant muggle-born witch who was a very talented healer, also had dual certification as a mind healer but was being passed by others for promotion because of her blood status. Thus he got her to quit and Come over and work at the orphanage.

He personally made 20 fit-beds for the orphanage. He then created a much more improved blood adoption ritual that if done by a couple. The person's genetics itself would change and he would be like the real son of the couple in all types of test including lineage tests. He also gave the one on whom the ritual was being performed to have a say if he wanted to keep his past heritage or completely discard it.
