69 Activating The Artifact

Harry was eating breakfast with Jasmine, Laura, and Thomas, as Kristine left earlier for the ministry.

He was in a little gloomy mood because the information he got about the artifact from Kristine after he went back to the home.

The running of 10 km was must as to ensure he wouldn't blast off due to excessive magic power, this he counties his exercises, after completing all work out he went back to Kristine's room to ask more about it.

Even before he reached, the system did some raise calculation and inform him that he could only use it once in a year to know the future as for the turning time to the past could dine normally.

He still made his way to the room to know the origin of this artifact.

Kristine was already wake up and was dressing to go to work. She blushed when Harry enters the room. Harry for a moment forget all problems when saw her shy expression. He smiled warmly which made her daze when she came out of daze Harry was already near her.

Harry was disappointed again as she didn't know either the origin of this artifact, but she knew how to use it better from her ancestor's diary.

"At the junction of time, when you had to make choice but you are unsure about it, at that time you could use this artifact to know the future of the path you chose. Let's understand it an easy way with example. Say you are at a six-way crossroad, and you don't know which way leads to the destination you want to be. So at that time, you could activate the artifact to know which road leads to where. It would be the same as living the future, but only you would know about it. When the power of the artifact will end, you would be transferred back at the place where you activated the artifact, same as you always been, but with extra future knowledge to make a better judgment."

Harry listen to her attentively whole time when she explained it.

In short, he could do stuff in real(in the future) but no one will know other than him.

What a great artifact it is!

Harry could imagine if it would have fallen in hand of some wicked or perverted person what they might do but no one will ever know about it!

Kristine also told him that last time this was used was 400 years ago by her ancestor when the 12 Aurors were chosen.

Harry wanted to talk to her more and spend some 'quality' time with her, but they soon heard Jasmine's voice calling out, so Harry had to use the rings ability to escape.

Harry didn't know what they talked about as he had returned to his room to clean as he had rather bad smell from all exercise.

When he went to the kitchen, Kristine had already left for work, so Harry could only think about the people he is going to meet. The first was Zoe's father and the second was Felicity's brother who also was Ilvermorny's headmaster.

That is why Jasmine hadn't returned to the school as she was coming with them, and today special training will begin so she won't be late either.

Harry distinctly remember Felicity mentioning about it, as she was applying for professors job.

After lunch, Harry Jasmine and Thomas used the floo-network to reach Zoe's place.

When they reached, Zoe had already left for the ministry. Harry really wanted to meet her, but it was alright as well. He now wanted nothing more than to get all the ingredients and start potion company.

The meeting with Zoe's father went rather well as in passing Harry mentioned all other families of noble-nine had already made a magical contract with him, and the gold Harry was paying was double than the market, and more importantly her daughter had told him numbers time, so he had no reason to deny it.

Thomas and Zoe's father talked about their old time for a while. They went go on and on until Jasmine snapped and reminded him that she needed to reach school in time before the first-day start of special training.

Thomas bid his farewell with him, and walk out of his house as the school wouldn't allow the use of the floo network. So they had to Apparate outside of the school and walk through the front door.

Harry and Jasmine put their hands in the shoulder of Thomas and in the blink of the eye, the scenery in front of them changed.

When Harry opened his eyes, he was already at Mount Greylock where Ilvermorny school of witchcraft and wizardry was located. Harry was amazed by seeing such great historic building in person.

Jasmine smiled when she saw Harry in a daze. She was like him too when she came here for the first time. She interwinds her hand with him and leads him inside, as Harry was busy admiring beauty of the place he let her lead the way.

Ilvermorny Castle is on top of the highest peak of Mount Greylock, so trio made their way through stone road.

The castle was made of granite stone. Harry could see the front doors are adorned with marble statues of Sayre and Steward on either side.

"You know, It is concealed by several enchantments which sometimes makes the school like a wreath of misty cloud, and Muggles would never able see this magnificent castle on the peak," describe Jasmine while smiling sweetly

Harry nodded in understanding, while Thomas who was forgotten by both snorted to make his presence known. Jasmine let out her pink tongue out while Harry, as usual, ignored him. It was a simple thing if someone isn't good to me, I don't care about them, and if they treat me good, I will treat them better.

As it was enjoyable for Harry, and Jasmine felt he was in a bad mood at breakfast, so she took a long road to improve his mood. Harry indeed felt better and it was already great to have a legendary artifact. So what he could use it just once in a year? Other wouldn't have a choice at all.

Thomas came along while numbering they were late for a meeting, but Jasmine eyed him which made him stop.

They unknowingly made their way to back of the school. They were just about to return when Harry felt his wand making funny reaction on its own. It was the second time it did like this. When it did the first time, Harry got to learn the way of wand-making in ancient ways.

He became excited to know what will it be this time.

Soon he got his answer as a wand send knowledge to his brain as it was inside the ring only he knew about it.

Dragons!

Everything was about dragons. How to raise them or things need to take care to raise dragons. There were hundreds of uses of dragon's blood. It can be used in many places such as potions. And every part of the dragon was a treasure.

Harry took a deep breath to calm, as he asked the main question: what made the wand react this way?

He looks around and saw the tree at the side of the food as if to prove his doubt, the wand pointed itself towards the tree.

So, he had to find or learn something from the tree to gain all this knowledge of the dragons.

Harry sorted out everything in just a second, as he was suddenly stood still other two looked at him.

He suddenly thought of time turner. If the tree had something to do with what he wants, it can't be that easy otherwise someone had already found whatever there are supposed to be. So he decided to use legendary time turner!

It was inside the ring, as he activated golden glow shine from it. It started spinning, and Harry could tell when it will stop he will be back to the current place.

Harry smiled as he saw it already started working. He can now do whatever he wants without worrying about anything.

Harry walked to Jasmine and asked, " oh, what is this tree, I was wondering. I look unique."

"This one? It is indeed a unique tree. It is one of a kind and only one in the world, " replied Jasmine.

Harry nodded as it was indeed a weird looking tree.

It wasn't enough so he asked the all-know system, and the system didn't disappoint him.

<< Isolt, the founder of Ilvermorny, was living with her husband James here, but her aunt Gormlaith found out about her as she was anti-muggle, so she came to fight with her, but instead was defeated by William, a Pukwudgie, who killed her. After Gormlaith's die, Isolt and James buried her wand in the school grounds. She did not wish to keep the wand as it was the last reminder of her unhappy childhood. Within a year, a snakewood tree grew from the ground where it was buried. Any attempts to kill or prune it was unsuccessful, and it was kept after it was discovered that the tree contained powerful medicinal properties.>>

<<Note that Isolt and her aunt's ancestor was none other than Salazar Slytherin.>>

'Wow, that is a complicated history! So it turned out this tree is due to Salazar's wand.'

Harry while in reality walked near a tree with Jasmine, but when he wanted to go near it, he saw a Pukwudgie coming out from the back of the tree.

"What the hell you guys doing here?? Shouted the rude Pukwudgie.

Jasmine might be used to their rude behavior, so she shows her tongue and made a cute expression, " We were taking a stroll so no need to mind us." She then took Harry and left. And Thomas was left behind with Pukwudgie which was awkward for him so he ran after the duo.

Harry was now singing a merry song as his decision to activate the legendary time Turner was right, as it turns out someone was there already and there might be more to the security.

This could be avoided when Harry would act on reality. It has become possible because of Harry's new ability liquid luck!

When he saw the tree and wanted to go there as soon as possible, the ability kick in and stopped him so he knew the problem was ahead, and so he activated the artifact. He knew there was going to special yearly training in the school, so might as well he join the fun.

Thomas, who was running from behind, looked quite comical, finally reached with the duo, and so trio made their way to the headmaster's office.
