Christmas preperation

Alderton Smith has continued his work at JTAC from the day after. Alderton Smith would talk about every detail that he had experienced during his time at Hogwarts, the History of Magic, and some news that is written on the Daily Prophet. 

Soon the MI5 JTAC has understood that the population of British wizards is around 30,000 and the world has around 1 million wizards. 

Yes, 1 million wizards are capable of killing hundreds of millions of muggles with their wands. 

Antony Duff who heard about the Unforgivable spell becomes more cautious. Especially the Imperius curse is a highly tricky spell that needs to be prevented. If the British Prime minister of the Queen is controlled by the Imperius curse, they can only abide by the rule. The House of Commons needs some secret laws to be created in order to mitigate the risks of controlled leaders. 

They have conducted some research on the protective spells that the wizards have. Antony Duff gives some isolated location and time that no person would see Alderton. Alderton would go there and conjure the Protego Maxima spell and go away. 

Before the Protego Maxima spell wears off, the military would fire a long-range ballistic missile to test whether the Protego Maxima spell can protect from the ballistic. Since no muggle has seen Alderton casting the spell, the Ministry of Magic didn't know that Alderton is working with the Muggle Government and the JTAC has collected much data. 

It happens that the Protego Maxima spell can defend from granites and rifle bullets. But stronger armaments such as ballistic missiles and rockets have high efficiency against the spell. 

Antony Duff with the help of Alderton has created a detailed plan against the Wizards, but couldn't find the Ministry of Magic's headquarter and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry yet. It is due to all wizards use transportation methods such as trains, or floor networks that they really don't know the exact location on the map.

Harry and Anthony congratulated each other for legally become not orphans anymore.

Anthony gave Lupin his salary prior to the end of the month and asked him to rent a comfortable room anywhere he wants to live. Anthony gave Lupin permission to have one or two days take off from the work each month except the weekdays in order to prevent Lupin to bite his friend Randolph. Even Randolph accepts to live in the same house with Lupin, Anthony would have insisted to let Lupin live away from him. It is necessary to be more cautious than feel sorry later.

Since Randolph is the CEO of Firebolt and Lightning beverage company, Lupin is now under the command of Randolph. The first task Lupin is assigned is to create partnerships with various shops and restaurants in foreign countries to distribute the Lightning beverage. The lightning beverage's monthly income has reached 20000 galleons and is considered to be a quite big company in the wizarding world. 

In the wizarding world, the biggest companies are international Magical herb and material producers that would provide potions, clothing, and food materials to various countries. The shops in Diagon alley is considered to be a family business and the annual income of their operation is several times less than the Lightning company. 

Lupin and Harry said goodbye to each other and promised to write a letter to each other. They would meet during the Christmas holidays and would have a good time knowing each other. 

Soon after, Anthony and Harry went back to Hogwarts castle via floo network with Albus Dumbledore. Albus Dumbledore didn't say a word with Harry Potter and Anthony Lefrancois Dumbledore. 

'Since my plan has failed to let Harry live in with the Dursleys, I need different measurements! I need a new plan!' thought Dumbledore inwardly. 

Harry and Anthony even though couldn't become legally brothers, their bond is strong as brothers. 

Daphne Greengrass was waiting for Harry and Anthony. When Anthony and Harry came down from the Headmaster's room, Daphne asked with a curious tone.

"What happened? Did Randolph adopt both of you?" asked Daphne. 

"Harry couldn't be adopted to Randolph, but he was adopted to his Father's best friend Remus Lupin!" said Anthony.

"What about you Anthony!" said Daphne. 

"Anthony is now officially the adopted son of Randolph Spudmore. His name is getting longer and longer, is it now Anthony Lefrancois Randolph Spudmore Dumbledore?" said Harry Potter sarcastically.

Anthony facepalmed and replied "No Harry, it is still Anthony Lefrancois Dumbledore! and for you guys, it's only Anthony or just call me Tony!" said Anthony.

The trio laughed for a while and went to the Great hall to have dinner.

Remus Lupin, as a COO of the Lightning company, has become fascinated. The factory of Lightning beverage is in the countryside at Manchester sity. They have already hired dozen of potioneers and are constantly producing the Lightning beverages with half-automated process. The potioneers should only wave their wand several times to finish the product. 

The prior steps of brewing are now fully automated and the recipe is secret in the factory. Even though it is a patented beverage, potioneers can slightly change the recipe and make a new beverage. 

Randolph Spudmore introduced his office and allowed him to have his own team. For Remus Lupin, seeing his adopted son Harry's smiling face on the Beverage tags made him laugh for a while. It took him several days to get used to it. 

Remus went to France and Bulgaria to open a distribution channel in the countries respectively. 

It took him a full month to organize the tasks and he bought some souvenirs for Harry from each country. Since money has become no problem for him, he bought his initial Wolfbane potions and drank the potion that prevents him lose his mind during his lycanthropy. On each full moon day, he would lock himself in his room and sleep well during the night. The only complaint he hears is that the maid of the Hotel would complain about his fallen hair in the morning after the full moon. 

The Lightning company has expanded several times and become a multinational wizarding company. 500,000 bottles are circulated each month and brought 50,000 galleons income to the company. 

Anthony and Harry, after getting their weekly report in late December becomes much surprised to hear Remus Lupin was a good negotiator and businessman. 

As for Randolph Spudmore, besides designing the Firebolt 2 model and Firebolt Pro model, he would have happy datings Selena Gamp.

They have started to spend quality time together very often, flying on brooms, making food together, watching Quidditch matches, and finally planning their future!

They don't even remember and mention that they have an adopted son, Anthony. Randolph would weekly write to Anthony about his Romantic life and firebolt business.

23rd of December, 1991.

The Christmas is near and the Hogwarts has decorated itself beautifully. 

Daphne Greengrass, Harry Potter, and Anthony .L. Dumbledore were packing their belongings and were getting ready to go back to London. 

Harry Potter was excited to meet his adopted father Lupin. Even though Harry doesn't count Lupin as his father, he felt like he was with his uncle when he was around Lupin. For him, it is hundred percent better to be with Lupin than the Dursleys. 

Anthony has planned to guide Harry Potter to the Mirror of Erised, in order to complete his heist plan to the Philosopher's stone.'
