The kids moved and started to collect all the things that they could carry. I tried to be as nice as possible to them, telling them that they were doing a good job. I wanted to help these kids get through what they had just witnessed here, and what they had been through. Thankfully, I had visionary, and a little experience in mental health from my previous life. Extraordinarily little experience, but experience, nevertheless. It took me a while to bandage myself up and to take some painkillers that I found....going to taking these for a while.
It took the group a while but we were able to collect most things. We collected some books, money, some unknown eggs, plants, and some other minor things. We were able to put them into a large carry bag that we had found. I knew that if we stayed here for too long and that the police might come at any time. I looked at the kids that were by me and said to them.
"This is your last chance…if you want to leave you can."
"We want to follow you!" said the older kid that spoke up the first time.
I looked at the rest of them and they were nodding their heads. I really hope that I can help them, to be their superhero…sigh was I really even a hero? My group and I left the factory, we continued to make our way towards the downtown area. It was kind of weird, our group. There were 16 of us including me walking…at 8 pm down the street. Not something that you normally see, but here in this part of town no one really cared.
We made our way into a cheap motel. These kids needed a place to actually rest, clean up, and feel safe. I got to the front desk and told them I wanted 4 rooms all close to each other for the next 4 days. The guy at the front desk narrowed his eyes looked at me and said.
"Kid, you got the money for that?"
"Yeah…I got the money for it, and the money to shut you up too."
He looked at me shocked before I put down 500 GBP on the desk. The guy looked at it, checked to see if it was good. When he was satisfied with it, he gave me 4 keys and told us that all of our rooms were down the hall. Making our way down the hall, I asked all the kids to come into one of the rooms so that we can talk. I wanted to set up some rules, get to know them, and also find out what I can do for them. I wonder if this was how Grace felt when she made the orphanage.
We got into the motel room. The room actually had two rooms, one was the bedroom with two beds that had super cheap blankets on it and super cheap decorations. The room that we walked into was a kitchen, dining room area with a couch, some decorations, and a small kitchen. Overall it looked like a cheap average motel…kind of what I paid for, so I wasn't really upset about it.
"Okay everyone, please make yourself comfortable." The kids all looked around to try and find a spot in the room. Man did I feel like a teacher right now.
"Okay, now that we are safe I want to start by getting to know you, who you are, what race you are, how old you are, and what are your future goals. I want to know so that I so that way I can help you get better and help you with your future goals. I will start. My name is Darius, I am human, I am 8 years old about to be 9, My future goal is to maybe set up a hospital to help people. In the next couple of days, I will set out with my adopted mom to the ministry of magic to set up a home for myself." I said to them. I pointed at the kid next to me
"M-M-My name is p-p-paul…I am human, I-I am 7, and I w-want to be brave. I-I want to be the bravest." Paul said. The kid seemed to be struggling with some stuttering problems. I think I can make a potion to help him if not well my little brother had the same problem so I know a little about how to help him.
"My name is merry, I am part veela, I am 10 years old and my future goal to make a flower shop."
"My name is Vince, I am part-vampire, I am currently 9 years old and my goal is to be like brother Darius." When he said that I noticed a lot of the kids were nodding their heads like they had the same thought. Wait…no do not be like me. We continued on with the introduction.
"My name is kyle, I…was human…I am now a werewolf, I am 10 about to be 11 years old. My goal is to kill that psych wolf." The kid and some of the others seemed to have the same idea. I hope that they do not fall into that revenge. The problem was I was on that path too…I mean I kind of am right now…geez I guess the best way to know yourself is to know others.
We continued the introduction for a while, we went from the simple thing to what we liked and disliked. It was at that point that some of the girls and even some of the boys started to blush. I could only sigh at their little behavior…and smile. I took note of all the kids that my little group had. There were actually only 11 of us including me. 2 kids were half-vampires, 3 kids were…unfortunately werewolves, 2 kids were part veela, and the rest were human. To further go into the group. 3 kids were about 5 years old, 4 kids were about just a year younger than me or just about the same age, and the rest were either 10 or older. I thought there were more, but I guess that I was either stressed out or simply was not paying attention.
I told them that they can leave all the stuff that we collected in this room and that they should go and rest for the day. I gave the keys to some of the older kids and they left, before they left I told them that if they needed to they can also come into this room if they were scared. The younger kids wanted to stay with me because they felt safer with me. I could not really say anything to them about that.
It took a while but after telling them a bedtime story, and informing them that they were safe was I able to get them to fall asleep. I continued the day trying to figure out how much money we had, and what other things we were able to get. It took forever to count but we had managed to make about 2 million GBP, which should be about 100,000 Galleon give or take.
It sounds like a lot of money, but then I have to factor in everything. I needed to get clothes, food, healthcare, a house, stuff for Hogwarts in case some or all of the kids go, and a couple of other things. I am sure that these kids do not want to stay here in London after going through what they went through and to be honest, I do not really want to stay here either. The only reason I am here is because of Grace and Sarah. I wonder if I can get them to come with me?...No…Grace would never leave that place, and we do not know if Sarah is muggle-born or not. I already have bad times with the ministry, not about to make it worse.
It was funny…so when I was counting the money I would hear on occasion knocking on the door. It would be one of the kids, who did not want to sleep in the room and wanted to sleep in the same room as me. This happened all throughout the night until all of us were in the same room. It made me kind of happy, that I was able to help make them feel safe.
I noticed that we got a few potion books, a book on charms, and a book on monsters. We also manage to get four eggs. One looked like a dragon egg, two looked like spider eggs, and the other looked…while it looked weird. I guess I should really focus on my moon pathway. There was a paper that said that the eggs were in suspended in hibernation and that the way to undo it was to cast a spell.
[A/N: Yeah I know this probably did not happen in the Harry Potter world, but I am adding it in here.]
The spell seemed simple enough and did not look too dangerous. The dangerous part was either or not I wanted to let the ministry know or not. It only took about 5 seconds into it I decided to say fuck it. They were dicks, and since the eggs were already in hibernation I just needed to find a place that had a lot of lands, a forest, and I would have to set up a ward spell to make it appear invisible to any and everyone. If I had the 8th sequence of the moon pathway then I could tame them. If I could tame them I could have them protect the kids and whatever property I might have. It was a win-win for me. The kids would have a creature to love and connect to, and I would have a creature that would defend my property. I wonder if they like spiders….
