"So, Harry, since I'm your legal guardian in the Magical World I was wondering if you'd want to live with me once I'm cleared to live on my own?" Sirius offered getting Harry to smile brightly. He'd been waiting a decade for his Godfather to wake up and offer him a home. The Dursleys had done everything that was normal and proper, but the emotional distance had been clearly obvious. To be part of a family that wanted him and all that included was one of the few things he truly desired in the world.
"If you want me too, I'd like that very much, Sirius." Harry agreed getting a beaming smile from Sirius.
"Great! We'll have a great time!" Sirius cheered getting Remus to shake his head fondly. It was good to have his friend back.
"Sirius will be staying with us until he's recovered." Andromeda stated getting a nod of thanks from Sirius. "We'll have to look at what properties are available until the summer. You most certainly are not staying at Grimmauld Place. That horrible old building isn't fit for habitation anymore."
"Works for me." Sirius nodded, he had no love for the place after all.
"Mr. Potter, I hate to interrupt but we should be going soon." Flitwick announced as he stuck his head into the room.
"Yes Professor." Harry replied as he sighed. With heartfelt goodbyes Harry separated from the group only for Tonks to pull him back by the shoulder and plant a kiss on his cheek in front of everyone.
"Make sure you consider the betrothal, Harrikins!" Tonks grinned and winked at him. Harry's face went straight back to dark red as Sirius and Remus chortled and Andromeda's eyes shone with hope.
"Ok…" Harry mumbled back as he made his way out the door and quickly started following Professor Flitwick.
"He said he'll consider it!" Andromeda cheered so loudly Harry heard her down the hall. Harry didn't think he could handle much more embarrassment today!
"Should I be congratulating you, Mr. Potter?" Flitwick asked amused.
"Professor…" Harry groaned getting chuckles from the Charms Master. It was a short time later that the two arrived back to the castle, Harry once again falling almost flat on his face.
"What a day." Harry sighed as he flopped down into his bed in Ravenclaw Tower. He'd met Sirius and now he had a family to go home to in the summer; a family that wanted him, Magic and all. He couldn't help but smile at this fact as he picked up Hermione's gift to him and cracked it open. A bit of relaxing reading would do him some good for the rest of the day. Now to see what other Enchanters had gotten famous for making. With that Harry spent the rest of the day reading through 'Famous Enchanted Objects from around the World'. He came across an entry about a Magical Swordsmith from Japan who had made a couple of Magic Swords in the past. This entry seemed to be from a historical record rather than an interview like some of the other entries.
"Hmm, Magic Swords, huh?" Harry mused thoughtfully, as he read over the entry and learned about this Magical Swordsmith and his famous blades. One known as Akukoroga and the other Kazakiriryuga, apparently both had been made from the fangs of Magical Creatures. Some kind of Yokai for the Akukoroga and a Dragon native to Japan for the Kazakiriryuga. "Interesting, this is Creature Craft as Enchanters call it, making an Enchanted Object out of the hair, scales, fangs, claws, horns and other such things of Magical Creatures. I wonder if I could learn that?" Speaking of Magical Swords the most famous one in Britain was of course, Excalibur, maybe he should check the Library and see what the Magical World knew about that particular sword? Well that would be for tomorrow for now he'd get to a stopping point and get some sleep.
The next day Harry plundered the Library for any books regarding Excalibur or other Legendary Magical Items. Sadly even the Magical World didn't seem to know very much about Excalibur. It was known that it was forged in England around the time that King Arthur was around and that it had many Magical Abilities. Other than that however, no one seemed to be able to agree on much else about the sword. There weren't even any guesses about who had forged it in the first place. The other Magical Swords he'd read about were usually better explained but some were still mysteries just like Excalibur. The Sword of Gryffindor was mentioned and it was supposedly forged by Goblins at Godric Gryffindor's request. The main ability was that the sword would take in any substance or ability that made it stronger. That was fascinating but something struck Harry as odd about the history of the sword.
"Goblins hate Wizards and Witches. Why would they forge a sword for Gryffindor?" Harry wondered as he finished the section on Gryffindor's Sword by finding out the weapon had disappeared after Godric's death and no one had seen it since. Harry may not know the most about goblins but he was fairly sure that they wouldn't create something for any Wizard that was as powerful as the stories claimed. "Something doesn't seem right about this story." He mused as he closed the book and moved onto the next one.
After lunch Harry had retreated to his work shop with both books he'd received about Enchanting. He'd keep the 'Beginners Alchemy for Enchanters' inside his workshop until he could order the basic ingredients with which to practice the art. Padma's gift he'd start studying now and whenever he had some extra time. Devanagari would be a long process to learn but if he went at it a bit at a time he'd eventually be able to use it for his Enchanting just like Elder and Younger Futhark. In the mean time he'd spend the remainder of his free time during the break to work more on his Rune Safe's array. He'd practice a little with learning to play the flute Hagrid had made him too.
as the stories claimed. "Something doesn't seem right about this story." He mused as he closed the book and moved onto the next one.
