82 81. Power of Love

Harry took out the list of items and started to look into it carefully. Soon he found that other than Tomes and books, only Galleons interested him. There was even a hand-written notebook which described how to make good trunks. He wasn't going to tell them to give him books because they had to ultimately send a copy of all the knowledge they had to vault 9, so he happily decided to take Galleons and other things he needed.

Harry asked Daphne to write a letter to Bogrod and sent the letter with a very happy Hedwig as he continued to make progress in his research. It was only by the dinner time that he was able to complete the Potion.

Harry, Daphne and Astoria had dinner together with a blushing Isabel and Christopher who was smiling goofily. He was so happy that he allowed Harry to stay with them for the next few days without hesitation. At least that's what it looked like if someone didn't know about his aura. It was unbearable for the three of them to see both the adults being so lovey - dovey. Harry still kept his aura active on Christopher the whole time and he really hoped to see positive changes in his attitude.

After dinner, Isabel and Christopher went back to their rooms, smiling happily. Harry started teaching Daphne as he waited for Christopher to sleep. After just two hours, Daphne was not in any condition to continue as she laid on the floor exhausted, panting hard.

She had been Dagger fighting Harry under gravity spell and in just two hours she had used 2 bottles of rejuvenation Potions, reaching her limit.

'I, I can't anymore.." She said gasping for breath.

Harry frowned looking at her condition. He was really upset as even with rejuvenation potions, it seemed impossible to train extensively for them. It was a limitation and Harry didn't like it at all.

'I have to try my idea as soon as possible to speed up their training.'

"Daph, rest well. We will continue training tomorrow." Harry said softly. Daphne nodded exhaustedly and walked to her room with Harry's help.

Harry didn't stay there after that. He let Vörn copy all the books and Tomes while he himself left Daphne's home.

Harry first went to training ground and asked Alfred to open a space passage inside Vault 9.

"Alfred, Open the passage for me to return after 4 hours." Harry instructed and went to the passage.

'I need to get a better understanding of space and find a way of spatial travel that can ignore all the wards and restrictions for myself as well as for my loyal followers, as soon as possible. I have been researching whenever I get the time but now that Alfred is stuck with Fawkes in the training ground, I need to speed things up.'

Harry stayed there inside the vault for the next 4 hours, reading books and tomes on Trunk making, Blood curses and healing. He didn't believe that anything could be uncurable and wanted to heal not only Astoria but also Alice and Frank Longbottom.

Harry was so lost in the knowledge that he only realised the passage of time when Alfred opened the portal for him. After returning to Daphne's home, Harry started researching Space magic as Daphne came down.

"Good morning Harry." She said smiling happily.

"Morning Daph.." Harry gave her a smile and again got busy. Daphne sat there quitely, watching him focus on his work.

"Daph, don't just sit there. Grab a book and start learning.." Harry chided lightly without turning to look at her, startling her. She hurriedly went to get the notes he had given them and started reading.

After some hours Astoria came down and Daphne started talking with her softly. A few hours later Isabel and Christopher also came down hand in hand, talking and laughing happily. Harry was also happy to see Christopher's status, as the man was finally coming out of darkness slowly.

'It would take some days but he will come out of darkness completely. I'm happy that I won't have to take any drastic steps towards the man. Love is indeed a very strong power.'

Harry had decided to try this instead of directly using Loyalty Potions and oaths because he knew there was still love hidden in his heart for his wife. Many had told the man to marry another woman to give him a male heir but he never thought along those lines. Harry had hoped for the man's redemption and it seemed that his approach was not wrong he would still make Christopher sign a contract at least, he was not taking any risk.

Harry turned to look at Daphne, who was looking at him nervously. He gave her a happy smile while nodding lightly and Daphne felt tears welling in her eyes from happiness. She hurriedly wiped the tears and held his hand tightly, silently expressing her gratitude.

"Harry, thank you for looking after our Daphne in Hogwarts. Bel told me about how you are helping her and we both are happy that she has a friend like you." Christopher said smiling.

" Daphne is my friend, I did what a true friend should do. You don't need to thank me for that." Harry and Christopher made some small talks before Christopher needed to leave to take care of his business.

Harry could have stopped him but he wanted to see if there would be changes after returning from work.

Harry also returned to his home with all the books that Vorn had copied.

"Eh! You are all here.." He was surprised to find Jessica, Penelope and her mother still in his home, talking to his mom.

"Harry, I want Jessica, Penelope and Emily to stay here with us for the duration of this holiday. Jessica and Penelope are not listening to me, you tell them." Lily said looking towards Harry.

Harry was confused, not knowing why his mother was doing that but didn't question her at that moment and looked towards Jessica and Penelope - " Jess, Penny, Come with me. Let's bring the things you will need from your places. You will be staying here." Harry said with finality.

" But Harry, you really don't need to trouble yourself." Penelope said.
