Elder Sister Sia and Younger Brother Aruhik

//*[A/N: Edited: 26/7/2021]

~Inside the white room, just after choosing the world~ {POV Aruhik}

*World confirmed: Harry Potter (Novel).*

Even though this world is quite low on my list, it is still better than those further down as those were Twilight, Fortune Arterial, Sword Art Online, and the list goes down with increasingly 'normal' worlds.

Hopefully, in this world, I will at least get to learn some magic spells because even though I have a huge mana reserve, the only way I know of using mana is either through my Bloodline Magic and Beast Vassals or the most barbaric way of releasing pure mana as a shockwave and the same goes for Sia.

Also according to the story, this world has some really good equipment, especially those Deathly Hallows and time turners.

Then, the words on the translucent window in front of me changed to make me give further details.

*Select your origins and timeline in the chosen world.*

"Since I am a vampire, who doesn't grow old, can I set my age around 2-year-old? If yes, then will my body grow with my age?"

*Yes, you can set your age at 2-year-old. And bodies of vampires from Strike The Blood do grow but they stop after growing to an optimal condition, and your current body is your optimal physique.*

"Can you also do the same for the human form of Sia?"

Even in our short interaction, I have learned that currently Sia's mentality and life values are heavily inclined towards strength and are quite different from mine, so I want her to experience living and growing up in a human community while we both learn about each other's habits, values, and principles; though, in this case, it is a magical community.

Maybe, after this Sia can have a better understanding of human morals and values; obviously, I won't force her to follow human morals or even my principles but if she wants to live in a society, she should at least have a basic understanding of it.

And likewise, we should both be aware of each other's values and principles to work better as a companion and even family.

*Sitasia-Valden is your bonded Beast Vassal so her human form is dependent on you. Your physical body will also influence her human form, making her of the same age as yours. And your optimal age is also her optimal age.*

Now that I got this confirmation, I didn't have to think too long about my choices.

"Then make me and Sia as Aruhik Lestrange and Sitasia Lestrange respectively, the twin children of Bellatrix Lestrange and Rodolphus Lestrange."

"And make us reach the world two years after the arrest of Bellatrix Lestrange, also make our birthdays such that we attend Hogwarts in the same year as Harry Potter."

"And lastly, we will be living in Lestrange manor and are usually taken care of by house-elves."

"Yes, one more thing, can you do something about our ears?"

Since I am going to this world for learning magic, I will be needing books, to be exact a lot of books; therefore, an ancient pure-blood family is the best choice and there shouldn't be anyone close enough in the family to disturb our daily lives and learning process.

Still, as much as I want to say something like Slytherin's family or Ravenclaw's family, I don't really know what is left of their properties and even if something is left of them, will the Ministry Of Magic really let two children own it? I don't think so.

Therefore, Black and Lestrange are the best choices, as both of them have knowledge, money, and power, also almost nobody is left in this family to disturb us, at least in their main family line, so we can be a direct line successor and have control over all that.

But I don't know any alive couple in the Black family so only the Lestrange family can be chosen. Also due to Bellatrix being a Black before marriage, we might get access to their library and also the Slytherin locket.

*Your identity is accepted.*

*Residents of the selected world won't be able to notice anything unusual about your ears before you two arrive in the world.*

*Proceed with the transfer?*

All preparations are done I think, except for one thing.

"Come forth, Sitasia-Valden"

And Sia appeared in front of me in human form.

"Sia, as you have already heard, we will now be going to another world. I will tell you all about that world when we reach there and obviously, even in that world also we will be family, as brother and sister, and always be together so you don't need to worry, alright?"

In the middle of my sentence, I sensed the turmoil in her emotions increasing so I told her about our relationship in that world. Because even though she has been listening to my conversations while simultaneously sensing my thoughts, everything that happened just now is quite...strange and a new experience for her.

Yeah, for me too, but at least I already knew and was somewhat mentally prepared for this beforehand while Sia was uncomfortable since she heard for the first time that we will be traveling to a new world, thinking that we might get separated in the process; well, because that is what exactly happened in her last two experience of big travels, she got separated from rest of the spirits.

That's why it was necessary to explain and console Sia before entering the new world; thankfully, Sia is quite understanding and she nodded while believing in my claims; at least partly, as she is equally determined to start searching for me immediately after entering the new world, in case we got separated.

But this much is enough for me, so I turned towards the screen and gave my affirmation while adding an extra instruction much to Sia's delight ... and also mine.

"Yes, proceed with the transfer and please transfer us to the same place."

Immediately I began feeling dizziness or to be more precise, sleepy, and then lost consciousness.

*****

~Great Britain, London, Lestrange Manor: 7 November 1983~ {POV Aruhik}

I opened my eyes and found a ceiling adorned with decorations that can only belong to the medieval period or even older.

And after checking my surroundings, I found myself lying on top of a large bed, big enough for more than five adults, and Sia is also lying beside me on the same bed, but her eyes are open and staring at me.

In the same direction, just behind Sia, through the window, I can see that it is dark outside and since we were supposedly sleeping on the bed, it must be nighttime.

Then the next thing I noticed is the changes in my body, which happened twice to me in just ten days while twice in just a few hours for Sia; we both are about 90 to 100cm, the size of 3 years old kids.

Also, on a side note, although I don't know how I look currently, Sia looks absolutely cute and adorable in the dark purple silk pajama gown she is wearing, while I am wearing a black shirt-pants pajama; well, all small kids are adorable and my brothers were also the same once, it is just that Sia brought it to the next level.

Then as I was about to think of a way to getting information about my current situation, some of the basic things like what is the name of house-elves living here or what is the attitude of other relatives towards us, suddenly, the familiar illusionary looking scroll appeared in front of me and it had a somewhat detailed overview of all the information I will be needing to assume the identity I have chosen for this world.

Well, although a written 'scroll' is less efficient compared to the method I have read before of information directly transferred to the brain, I prefer this one much more compared to a bunch of strange details suddenly appearing in my mind.

Anyway, through this relatively long scroll, I got to learn most of the basic information I was searching for, like how both of us lived before and our relationship with other people we will be contacting here.

After going through all the information written on the scroll, I again looked at Sia and found that she is observing the room while still lying on the bed and her thoughts told me that she was waiting for me to finish whatever I was doing; that's why she also looked at me nearly at the same time I turned to look at her.

And finding both of us lying on the bed, added to the fact that I already got the information about all the basic things I needed, I decided to continue with what I was about to do in the main world and take a rest for a while.

After all, I haven't slept for the last 8 days and I believe, Sia also needs some rest for adapting to the frequent changes she had to go through in such a short time, so I decided we should go to sleep for now and I will sort out all the information I received in the morning while Sia should also feel at least a little familiar with the new environment by the time she wakes up.

Somewhere, I was also feeling a little relieved that Sia and I won't have to spend the first night after meeting each other while sleeping uncomfortably in a forest but in a luxuriously and comfortable bedroom, so I hugged Sia and went back to sleep.

And yes, I got to know about this thought of mine on the back of my mind only because Sia sensed it and is delighted due to my feelings even I am unaware of myself, then I sensed it through her thoughts.

*****

~Next Morning~ {POV Aruhik}

"Youn...ster...wake...st"

"Young Master, Young Mistress, please wake up, it is time for breakfast."

I woke up upon hearing some voice and found Sia still sleeping while tightly holding me from the side, but the moment my eyes laid upon her, she also opened her eyes and turned her face to look towards me with a smile.

Last night, we already discovered that it impossible for us to fall asleep independently; that's is why, the moment I woke up and looked towards her, Sia also woke up and sensed that I am looking at her; still, thankfully we don't really need to sleep too much otherwise due to us being unable to fall asleep independently, we might have been forced to deal with the problem of sleep deficiency.

Then both of us looked towards the place where the voice initially came from and found a 'white goblin' standing there with a strangely servile look on his face.

I am not trying to be purposefully insulting here, this humanoid really does look quite similar to the goblins I have seen in pictures and videos from my original world, except for the fact that his skin is unhealthy white instead of being green.

He is very small, with bat-like ears, protruding eyes the size of tennis balls, and a relatively long and flat nose; also, from the 'scroll' I read last night, I know that his name is Raldy, oldest of the three house-elves owned by the mainline of the Lestrange family along with Dimpy; young female house-elf, and Gippy; young male house-elf.

So, just for the test, I tried ordering Raldy to make preparations so that I and Sia can start our day.

"Raldy, prepare the bathroom for our use, then we will be going to the Dining room in around 20 minutes."

"Yes, Young Master."

And as expected of an elderly house-elf working under a pure-blood family, Raldy immediately went away to complete the task and disappeared with a pop sound.

Well, this is something that I need to look into, as without weapons my warping distance is quite limited.

But it is for later on, for now, I had to partially drag a reluctant Sia towards the bathroom, that I know where it is located due to one of the many maps drawn on the scrolls which were surprisingly quite easy to remember.

And yes, I indeed had to work hard to make Sia 'walk' to the bathroom, both mental and physical work; because she already knows what bathing is and isn't willing to use water, that she dislikes, for cleaning herself, also somehow she believes me to be a bath lover.

I don't know from where did Sia built up such a belief but considering me to be an ablutomania patient is just way overstating it; I haven't taken a bath for whole ten days without a single complaint, so obviously I am going to clean myself after getting such a chance; and since I am cleaning myself, it is obvious that Sia should also do so for the first time after getting her human form.

"Come on, bathing isn't that bad."

"No." 'There is no way I am believing that, I have felt that unpleasant experience countless times.'

"You were in your elemental beast form at that time, so obviously it would feel uncomfortable to get the lightning bolts forming your body being forcefully scattered around in the water. But now, you are in the human form, so something like that won't happen."

"Still no." 'I don't want to use hateful water to do anything.'

"Try it once and if you don't like it, I won't force you from the next time."

"Lie." 'You know that I can sense your thoughts and you can't lie to me, right?'

"...Anyway, you will definitely like like bathing after this, so let's try it out once."

"Not happening." 'There is no way I will ever come to like using water for anything."

... ...

...

And while this mental persuasion was going on, I had to also physically push Sia towards the bathroom; at least she is being considerate enough to not resist with her full strength that is why I am constantly progressing towards the goal, although quite slowly.

*****

Eventually, I managed to 'convince' Sia and while giving up the thought of bathing separately, we together entered the luxurious bathroom with white and blue tiles covering it and adorned with silver decorations.

And although I know for a fact that the bathroom of my house from the original world was big, this one is way bigger; I mean there isn't a bathtub here, what is built here is practically a shallow swimming pool with magically adjustable depth, temperature, and other convenient features.

Maybe, this might bring Sia interest in... well, looking at her as well as sensing her thoughts, I don't see much hope of it happening.

Still, first, I taught Sia how to use soap and other cleansing substances, but looking at her enthusiasm, I decided to do it myself for both of us; then after cleaning ourselves we went to enjoy the big bathtub, though, we left in just a few minutes as the only one enjoying it was me.

By the end of completing the feat of bathing Sia, I confirmed from her feelings that although she didn't actually feel uncomfortable due to bathing, she has developed an instinctual dislike and repulsion towards the water and everything related to it.

And it is not like I can't understand the reason behind this because, since Sia's birth, water has been acting her nemesis; as when she was weak, coming in contact with water or encountering rain has nearly killed her uncountable times due to the water carrying and scattering the very lightning that has formed her existence.

As for the current wolf form of Sia, she told me that even though she is not affected by heavy rains, lakes, and rivers, in the area of a large water source such as the sea and ocean her power decreases drastically as her lightning can't be easily concentrated in a single place due to the conduction property of water.

Therefore, although she can get a much easier win against those with water attributes and are incapable of creating large water bodies, she has faced many defeats in front of similar water attribute creatures who can create a large amount of water or are near water bodies.

And Sia being the battle-loving lightning wolf spirit she is, it resulted in her challenging a lot of water attribute creatures that ended in both victories and defeats as well as her building up a grudge against even water attribute creatures.

*****

Once we cleaned ourselves or I cleaned both of us, I choose comfortable home dresses for both of us and after roughly setting our hair, we went down to the dining room on the ground floor as our bedroom is on the first floor; and at the same time, I can't help but wonder, who is idiot enough to set up the bedrooms of two three-year-old kids living alone on the first floor and not on the ground floor.

Anyway, while going down the now large but much easier to walk stairs due to our high physical attributes, I once again gave the yellow spatial ring to Sia as I noted while bathing that both spatial rings were still in my fingers and have become small enough to fit in a child's fingers.

And I also learned a piece of important information through this, I can move items and equipment between the worlds without doing anything much except for me carrying it; considering that this world has a lot of magical artifacts, potions, and weapons, this information will prove to be quite useful for us.

By this time we reached the entrance of the dining room, but before entering, I gave her an important instruction to Sia; which I will also be following, as much as possible.

"Sia, remember to not mention anything about other worlds to the people of this world."

We aren't really prohibited from spreading this information but this is to keep us out of possible troubles that may arise if such information reached the ears of other people.

Then both of us entered the dining room and took seats beside each other on raised chairs, due to our short height.

A lot of different dishes were present on a large dining table then we both started eating but immediately afterward I had to start feeding Sia too.

Why? Because she doesn't know how to use spoons, forks, and knives or in other words how to eat like a human and even though I don't have noble education of eating artistically, I obviously know how to use to eat properly and has even helped my brothers before with the same.

Well, at least Sia is enjoying different types of foods, but this event prompted me to make a mental note of arranging someone to give us the basic education and noble teaching for both of us.

After all, Sia does need to learn some primary topics and at least be aware of basic etiquette, and since I had left my studies around the age of ten in my original world, I will also be joining her for the same.

Especially, because according to the scroll I read yesterday night, magicians of this world need to get home-education before joining a wizarding school as there aren't many good magical schools for the younger ones

Then remembering something I sensed last night, I called the house-elves.

"Dimpy, Gippy, Raldy."

With three pop sounds, all of them appeared near the dining table.

"""Young Master, Young Mistress, please give your instructions."""

Well, aren't these three strangely in sync? Anyway...

"Dimpy, bring the list of all the properties and business that we have under me and my sister's name in our room. Also, make an appointment with Lestrange's family lawyer and set the date for two weeks later."

I need to know the current status of our properties and business; after all, since I have chosen this house, I will be using it to its full extent.

So why contact the lawyer? Because I and Sia need to move out of Britain, to leave monitoring of the British Ministry of Magic which I came to know of through the scroll; and who knows, there might even be Order Of Phoenix members occasionally monitoring us as it has been only two years since our parents from this world got arrested.

"Gippy, clean the library, we will be visiting it today evening. Also, find someone good to give us basic homeschooling, we will start learning after one week."

"Raldy, take note of reminding me that we will be visiting Gringotts Wizarding Bank exactly after one month."

"For now, this is it, you all can go back to your works."

Again with three pop sounds, all of them disappeared.

Once I learn how the spells of this world work, this ability of long-distance teleportation or in my case long-distance warping will be my top priority for learning.

*****

After breakfast, I decided to start with the topmost priority at this moment that is to check the effect of this world on our strength.

But first I need to find a deserted place or more preferably a deserted island, as testing Sia's strength will surely lead to huge destruction and if we do it in an uninhabited forest within the jurisdiction of any country, then there is a high chance that the Ministry of Magic will find it out but I really don't want to draw any attention to us, at least for the next few years.

While I was searching for a place, Sia, who was observing me from the side, asked her doubts.

"Again traveling?"

"No, not really a travel, I am just searching for a suitable place in this world to test our powers, or mainly your powers."

"Why test?"

"Try sensing the energy in the surrounding."

Sia immediately used her senses and following the direction of my thoughts, keenly noticed the detail she has been subconsciously ignoring till now, considering it to be something minor.

"Different."

Obviously, Sia reached the same conclusion as me but being more experienced in this field, she found out the details I have been subconsciously ignoring till now similarly considering it to be something minor.

Anyway, Sia concluded that the energy in this surrounding more closer to mana in our compared to the one in the main world but is extensively diluted.

Well, some things only come with experience.

On a side note, the more time I am spending with Sia, the more I am finding our thought-sharing bond to be really helpful.

Yeah, it does make it impossible for us to lie and hide anything from each other which, to be honest, isn't really easy, especially for someone with a personality similar to mine.

However, I am still thankful and happy that such a bond exists between us because to build a true companionship, family, or whatever word we might use, there must be honesty between us; despite understanding this fact, knowing myself, without being forced like this, I would have subconsciously avoided being completely honest.

Surely there are some other benefits of having such bonds like we don't even need to say the full sentence to each other and just from our thoughts, we can easily understand what one of us wants to express to the other; then there is us covering each others' deficiencies as we did with sensing the surrounding energy.

And on top of all these side benefits is us sharing and influencing each other's emotions, just like what is happening just now, I can sense the delight Sia is feeling at this moment because she sensed the thoughts in my mind about what I think of the connection between us; and consequently, getting influenced by her happiness, a genuine smile has appeared on my face.

*****

After nearly an hour-long search, I finally found a deserted island satisfying the requirements, Lanmond Island, to the west of Ireland and owned by the Lestrange family, around 250 sq. km in size, more than enough for testing.

"Raldy, Gippy, Dimpy."

"""Your orders, Young Master, Young Mistress."""

With three simultaneous popping sounds, three house-elves appeared in front of me while again speaking in sync that I am pretty sure they have practiced for.

Anyway, whether it is a joke or something else, it can be found out later on; for now, after giving them the map describing the location of Lanmond Island I continued

"All of you remember this location after some time all of you'll be apparating to this location according to my instructions."

After all three house-elves confirmed the Lanmond island's location, I asked them.

"Now tell me, how many times can each one of you apparate between that island and this place while carrying both of us?"

After thinking for more than half a minute, three of them gave me the answers which weren't really too far off from each other.

"Raldy can only do four times, young master"

Then the other two also gave their answers but instead of having the usual servile attitude, their voice sounded more fearful and shameful, well, not too difficult to guess the reason behind it, because they gave smaller figures.

"O...only... three-times, young-m...master" "Th...three-t...times..."

"Okay, three times is more than enough. Now, listen carefully."

"First, Gippy, you will be taking me and Sia to this location; after leaving us there, you will come back."

"Second, Dimpy, if we can't come back by ourselves, we will call you; upon getting the call, apparate near us and instantly take us back to the manor."

"Third, Raldy, when we come back to manor you will apparate to the island and keep an eye on the island at least for the next 7 days to check if any witch or wizard reach there; and if anyone reaches there, try to find the identity of those people and once you do, instantly come back and report it to me. However, your first priority is that you must not be discovered by anyone"

"Also, you all are not allowed to do any other work till this given task of yours is over."

"And once this task is over, you all are forbidden to ever mention or discuss anything about this task, even in front of us and among yourselves. Understood?"

After getting their confirmation for understanding, then along with floating red-black crystals, a dagger appeared in my hand and I placed it on the ground while instructing the three house-elves.

"None of you are allowed to touch this dagger till I come back."

This dagger is for trying to return using the long-distance warping, but I am not completely sure if it will work out that's why I assigned one of the house-elves for the same task.

And the reason for involving all three house-elves? As I have already confirmed, that apparating such long-distance multiple times can be quite taxing, so all three of them working together would make the task less prone to accidents.

Then, once all three house-elves nodded, I ordered Gippy to start.

"Gippy take us to the island."

Both of us took his left hand, then he snapped the fingers of his other hand.

Immediately, I felt a twisting sensation at my navel and instinctually my mana began channeling through my body at high speed to subconsciously resist the external force acting on me, but I immediately suppressed it and asked Sia to do the same.

Then it felt like I got compressed into a thin pipe and moments later, I along with Sia were on a rocky island with little to no greenery.

However, even after waiting for a few moments, I did not feel sick similar to what I have read that most people would feel upon appariting for the first time; most likely due to the vampire's strong body and I am thankful for it.

Then, I sensed strong dislike and a small amount of resentment in Sia's mind so I turned towards her and she said while turning her face towards me.

"Never again."

Well, I know Sia isn't feeling sick but appariting really isn't a pleasant experience, even for our strong vampire bodies.

And understanding her meaning, I tried to feel my dagger and found warping to be possible, so I replied.

"Okay, we can go back by warping so don't worry."

After seeing her nod, I turned towards Gippy.

"Gippy, go back now and prepare polyjuice potion, enough for at least 10 hours, you can check if there is some in the manor, if not, then buy it."

He nodded and with a pop sound, disappeared from here.

We both began walking towards the coast of the island and while walking, we were also testing our powers; for Sia, her physical capability to lightning while for me, from warping without a weapon to borrowing Sia's power.

And I am relieved to find that all powers are the same for us, except mana recovery of both of us which is now down to around 90%.

Yes, Sia can also recover her own mana in human form at a rate comparable to mine, this is also one of the reasons due to which I consider that her human transformation actually turns her into a form similar to mine.

Anyway, we both have 2 ways to recover mana, one, by converting blood or, using different words, turning vitality into mana; and theoretically, vampires from the Strike The Blood world have near-infinite vitality. The second way is by absorbing the mana from the environment which is currently negligible compared to my blood conversion.

And as Sia has already informed me that the energy in the environment is extensively diluted compared to our mana, this might be the possible reason behind the decrease in our recovery rate.

Then, after we reached the coast, I turned towards Sia and told her.

"Sia, you can let loose and use your full power here, and after testing your powers, tell me if you feel any difference."

And even before I finished speaking, Sia sensed my intention and the black cloud began covering the sky; then, she started running towards the center of the island, and midway through the path, she transformed into a black lightning wolf with a shining deep purple horn and clouds spread out to a range of what I assume is a little less than 20Km.

And as she flew up towards the clouds, I can clearly sense the excitement she is feeling for showing me her full power.

Then for the next 10 minutes, Sia 'demonstrated' to me all the fighting skills and powers she possesses.

*****

~10 minutes later~

There are two conclusions we reached from Sia testing her powers; first, from her, that there are no changes in her power, and second, from me, she is really awesome and really, really strong; as in less than ten minutes she sank one-fourth of the island and most of the rest is covered with deep craters.

On a side note, my second conclusion made Sia so happy that I am experiencing another bone-crushing hug; well, I really need to talk to Sia about this and avoid stalling it in name of not spoiling the mood.

Anyway, after calming her down, I called her back inside me and after sensing the location of my weapon, I warped back to the manor.

*****

~Lestrange Manor~

As soon as I warped to the manor, I saw the three house-elves standing near the dragger and one of them holding a bottle which I suppose is the polyjuice potion.

And, I also noted that even though the mana consumption for this long-distance warping was multiple times compared to short-distance warping, it is still negligible.

"Raldy now it is your turn and you must remember, you can't be spotted by anyone."

"Yes Young Master, Raldy remembers."

After saying this he immediately disappeared with a pop and I began channeling my mana to summon Sia.

"Come forth, Sitasia-Valden."

Immediately, blood fog began converging in front of me, originating from my currently jet-black-colored red-stripped right hand, then Sia appeared in front of me in human form.

"Better."

Understanding her meaning and the desire she has in her mind, I replied.

"I will try to find a way to make you also use warping."

Glaives were also able to use warping, so there is a high chance that even without the crystal I can at least let Sia use warping, using me as a source just like I can use her lightning.

Then I turned towards the two house-elves, only to see a surprising scene.

Both of the house-elves are lying flat on the floor and they are visibly shaking, sensing a rather drastic change in my emotions Sia turned to face the house-elves for a moment, then showed me an obvious expression while at the same time, I found the reason behind it from her thoughts.

Since Sia has much more experience in the 'supernatural' side of the world, she immediately understood that being much weaker than me and her, these house-elves were suppressed and frightened just by the magical pressure I unconsciously created around me while releasing mana for summoning Sia.

'But still, aren't these two just too frightened; I mean, even from their goblin like faces I can read that they are really scared enough to even leave behind a trauma.'

In reply, Sia let out a chuckle and a proud expression along with slight happiness appeared on her childish face.

And if I put her current thoughts in words it will be something like:

'It is obvious that these two bows down in front of Aruhik's power, after all, Aruhik is my family. They are really stupid enough to take so long for understanding such a simple fact.'

After understanding her borderline childish thoughts, I can only feel speechless; even though, a smile also appeared on my lips without me noticing.

As with the adorable face, this joyful proud expression only made her look cuter and being unable to bear it, I started rubbing the top of her head which broke her proud expression into that of a happy one.

Well, I really have a long way to go for making Sia understand the values outside the jungle law.

After I sensed two house-elves finally move and calm down a little, I stopped rubbing Sia's head and was about to speak, I sensed slight anger rising inside Sia towards the house-elves; and the reason again left me speechless, as the reason is that these house-elves stopped her family time.

Yes, for Sia, rubbing her head is family time and she clearly sensed that I stopped because of the house-elves; also, by her thought process, those who displease her should be eliminated; yeah, in other words, killed.

Just as Sia was about to start releasing her power, I once again put my hand on top of her head and started rubbing her but this time more forcefully.

"Don't worry, I will pat you later on, as much as you want; now, I am instructing them so that we can spend a special family time together."

After confirming again that both house-elves have recovered and Sia is not angry anymore, releasing a sigh, I repeated one of my previously given instructions.

"This is also a secret that you cannot ever mention again, even among yourselves."

Seeing them nod, I continued while ignoring their still frightened faces; as it is not like I can do much about it.

"Gippy, have you prepared the polyjuice potion?"

"Ye...yes, Young M-master."

"Gippy give me the potion and go back to your work."

Once he disappeared with a pop, I turned towards the last house-elf.

"Dimpy, get me some hair of a healthy muggle woman between the age of 25 to 40."

The once Dimpy also disappeared with another pop, and I started telling Sia what we are going to do.

As I have decided to take Sia to public places four or five times a week so that she can quickly get used to human or magical society.

~5 minutes later~

"Young Master, Dimpy brought the hair."

After seeing the light brown hair in her hand, I took it from her hand and put it in the polyjuice potion. And after confirming that it has turned into a dark muddy brown viscous liquid, I gave the bottle containing the transformed polyjuice potion to Dimpy and gave her the order.

"Drink it."

A few seconds after she drank it her body started changing and in less than a minute a woman in her 30s covered in dirty rags was standing in front of me.

Even though her eyes, ears, and nose were somewhat strange from a human perspective, I think it will work out as from what I know there are many weirdos in the Harry Potter Wizarding World compared to whom Dimpy looks rather normal.

"Get used to moving in this body, also clean yourself and make yourself presentable so everyone else perceives you as a witch and remember to take potion every hour. Then, prepare some light refreshments suitable for picnic and put them in a picnic basket which we will be taking out with us."

Then, after Dimpy started making preparations, I and Sia went to our combined room to changed into outdoor clothes that are comfortable for moving around and attached with hoods, to hide our ears.

But the color was the same black for me and dark purple for Sia; really, I don't know who made it so that almost all of our clothes are of the same color, black for me and dark purple for Sia, even though, most of these clothes are up to my liking.

After changing clothes we went to the hall and found a woman, in her thirties with light brown hair wearing a dark brown long robe and a witch hat standing while holding a picnic basket in her hand, waiting there for us.

Furthermore, according to the scroll, since it isn't us who gave Dimpy the clothes she is currently wearing, and she picked and used them by herself, it doesn't affect the contract binding the elf.

"Okay, now we will be going to Woodfolk Magical Park..."

But when I said our destination, as a servile house-elf, Dimpy made the rare act of interrupting her master.

"But Lady Narcissa has told Young Mistress and Young Master to not go out of Lestrange property alone without an adult."

Well, something like this wasn't mentioned in the scroll but it is not unexpected that Narcissa had said something like this because according to the same scroll, she is one of those few people who actually care about us.

The reason house-elves didn't say anything when we went to the island may be because Lanmond island is also a Lestrange property. But this isn't a major problem because house-elves have intelligence only around that of a child; furthermore, they are Lestrange Family house-elves, bound by the contract to us and not to even someone as close as our aunt.

"But we are not going alone, you will be with us during our whole tour in the park that's why I gave you polyjuice potion. You will protect us from every danger, right?"

And falling for the word trap, Dimpy instantly replied with clear eagerness and excitement in her voice.

"Dimpy will absolutely protect the Young Master and Mistress."

Then without giving her any more time to think about what exactly she has agreed for, I summoned my dagger and gave her further instructions while giving it to her.

"Take this dagger and find a place near the park where nobody can see and place this on the ground."

Getting swept by the excitement from her own words just now, following my instructions, she disappeared and I also started sensing the location of and around the dagger.

And when it touched the ground, I asked Sia to come back inside me and warped near the dagger.

I found myself in a narrow alley and Dimpy standing near the dagger, then along with my unsummoning, the dagger broke into small red-black crystals and disappeared.

Now is the difficult part, how to summon Sia without anyone noticing the vast mana fluctuation?

As in the manor, protective enchantment, that I became aware of through the scroll, obstructed mana fluctuation from going out but here we are out in the open; moreover, this place is also not like the Lanmond Island, private property with no ministry having right over it.

Still, there are two methods, first, summon Sia quickly then run, as in this case, I won't be using wands so they can't trace who actually did it; and the second method, do it slowly while maintaining low mana output.

However, for the second method, I don't actually know the level of mana that wizards here will consider to be normal and consequently ignore it; furthermore, releasing 20% of my mana at such a pathetic rate might take hours.

So I can only use the first method.

"Dimpy, go near the entrance of the alley and wait for us."

I did this in other avoid her lying flat on the ground while being scared, just like what happened in the manor, and delay our escape; therefore, after she went away, I started channeling my mana at full speed.

"Come forth, Sitasia-Valden"

As soon as Sia materialized in front of me, I took her hand and started running towards Dimpy.

When we reached the entrance of the alley, I found a light brown-haired lady dressed as a Witch holding a picnic basket while slightly shaking in fear.

Slowing down our run to walk, but without stopping, I instructed Dimpy.

"Dimpy, lead the way, we don't know the exact way to the park."

Hearing my voice, Dimpy recovers from the shock and started leading the way, and I continued with instructing her on what she has to do during our visit.

"Dimpy, in front of others, we will call you Dimple and you are a witch tasked with guarding us against any danger while we are visiting the magical park. Nevertheless, I will do most of the talking so you just have to remember the identity I just gave you. Also, you don't need to bow in front of others as currently, you are a witch."

Due to house-elves being taught to be completely obedient to their master, even though Dimpy is quite panicked, she proceeded to follow my orders to every word; after all, by the house-elf mindset of her, she is a lucky and happy house-elf to get so many orders from her master.

Also, I have learned from the scroll that children with magical talent grow mentally much faster compared to the muggle children, so I can comfortably interact with other magicians without fearing the thought of them finding anything strange in a three-year-old speaking fluently.

*****

After a few minutes, we reached the entrance of the park.

Well, looking through naked eyes, the entrance actually looks like a brick wall inside a narrow dirty alley with a faded graffiti drawn on the wall showing a gate; on the side of graffiti, there is a similarly roughly drawn window.

But both Sia and I can feel energy fluctuation in the whole wall.

Since the window is too high for current me, I gave instructions to Dimpy.

"Dimple, buy three tickets, two for kids and one for adults."

After Dimple bought our tickets, I told Sia to suppress her mana and while also doing the same for myself, we walked towards the wall and easily passed through it without any obstruction.

And after crossing the wall, we appeared in front of the actual gate of the park which is currently wide open.

Then I moved forward to take the lead from here on and at the same time holding Sia's hands so that we can walk, observe, and enjoy together, while Dimpy naturally moved back to follow behind her masters.

Immediately after entering the park, the first thing we came across is a magical stone information board, displaying the history and purpose of this magical park in the form of moving colorful animation; most likely to attract even young kids completely uninterested in history.

Woodfolk Magical Park is obviously a magician-only park, which exhibits different magical creatures, that are not too dangerous, in their natural habitat as well as some important and interesting magical plants.

As for the origin of its name Woodfolk, it comes the fact that the path for visitors is decorated in such a way that it looks like the enlarged villages and houses of fairies.

Fairies usually create their houses in small plants, mostly flower fields, but here, houses are built on trees and visitors had to travel within the park while going through these houses.

Also, even though visitors are not allowed directly to enter the habitat of most of these magical creatures, they can closely watch them through the one-way transparent barrier.

Then, there is also a food section which produces quite good deserts and a picnic place in the beautiful natural environment.

Although entry is very costly for general wizards, this park is very popular among kids and muggle-born magicians.

And this is the reason why I brought Sia here, there isn't too much of a rush here, and even though an artificially maintained one, there is at least some natural environment here and not dense buildings which are relatively new for Sia.

As for how I came to know about this magical garden even though I came to this world just last night? Well, the fact is that the Lestrange Family invested in the construction of this magical garden and owns 12% of its shares, so I came across it while searching for the deserted place to test Sia's powers.

*****

Compared to the adventurous testing of powers to secretly coming out to visit the magical park, start our visit was quite dull because the first section we went to was the one exhibiting magical plants.

And the plant section was really boring, for both of us; therefore, soon after entering it, we turned back

While on the other hand, our visit through the land-creature section of the park went quite well, except for some minor incidents like Sia's decision to adopt a pack of two-horned wolves; unfortunately, I can't fulfill this wish of her at this moment.

So I appeased her by promising to buy some of them later on. And not much of compensation but I also bought a two-horned wolf stuffed toy of black and dark blue color that can move on its own around the one who owns it and howls if we pet it on the head.

Then the aquatic creature section was....well, one can say... a little problematic.

Because Sia wanted to hunt every water creature in this section, from harmless insects to kappa; however, these are just her words and the way I interpreted from her thoughts is 'Don't we also own this park? Then how can I allow some repulsive water creatures to be raised in my place?'.

I also understood that previously I really underestimated her grudge against aquatic creatures; however, this didn't really grow into something more than this because even though Sia's thoughts are rather straightforward, it doesn't mean she has a low intelligence quotient.

Therefore she also understood what I wanted to express as well as the fact that even after partly owning this place, she can't really kill every water creature here just because she wants to.

Furthermore, Sia already knows for a fact that not all of them are her enemies, especially these weak ones with low intelligence, it is just that due to her past grudges she doesn't want to recognize it.

But it also isn't like I didn't have a way of even temporarily appeasing her, so I took Sia to the food section and made her taste different types of fishes and other kinds of seafood; not really my favorite but what better way of pacifying Sia than showing her that the creatures she hates are being sold as food to others after all this 'punishment' is more in line with Sia's reasoning.

But still, we ate a very small amount of seafood as in Sia's words 'It was nothing more than a small celebration for the shameful fates of her hated enemies'; and there is also the fact that, just like me, Sia also isn't really fond of seafood.

However, it also isn't like we didn't enjoy the food section, rather if go by galleons spent in the food section, we should be among the top ten spenders of the day; why? Because they have set up tens of ice-cream parlors in the desert area and each selling a variety of ice-creams.

And there is no way I am missing the chance to try out all these magical ice-creams and Sia also loved them; maybe it is due to my preferences affecting Sia's thoughts or she just has the same food preference as mine like not preferring hot or spicy food but I also learned that Sia's taste for food is quite similar to mine like even the ice-cream flavors we loved more was the same.

And, it was during this quest of tasting every ice cream in the park, I noticed something strange, that for some reason still unknown to me, I and Sia didn't find these ice-creams taste to be as magical as stated in their descriptions.

Like in one case, the ice cream was supposed to change randomly into one of the five chosen flavors after each spoon of it but both Sia and I found that we weren't able to taste three of the chosen flavors; like instead of buying the expensive five-flavored ice-cream, we might have bought the cheapest two-flavored one.

At first, I thought that we are getting scammed but after even Dimpy tested it, I found that there isn't a problem with ice cream, rather with us; but still, it didn't reduce my excitement for checking out the new ones because even the two-flavored ice cream was magical enough for me.

Then before returning home, we went to the picnic spot as an end event for our to our today's visit.

Although some other families and groups are also enjoying the scenery or resting here, this place is more than large enough to let visitors rest here in peace.

After finding a place under the tree shade with no other group nearby, Both of us ate some light snacks and three cups of magical ice cream each.

Although a....very minor...incident happened when I sent Dimpy to get us more ice cream, as I got sad from being reminded of my parents who left me and my brothers alone and Sia also sensed my sadness.

However, it wasn't anything worth more than a moment of sadness, especially when because of that incident Sia was very happy by the end of it as she was able to resolve it on her own, and in return, I thanked her for the hard work by feeding her my ice cream.

After the picnic, before returning to the manor, looking at tens of empty ice cream cups and wrappers, I can't help doubt that does vampire physique helps us also with eating a lot of food?

I mean, just the amount of ice cream we have consumed individually would prove to be too much even for an adult, let alone the body of three years old we currently possess.

Either way, I am not complaining; after all, it is because of this special physique of our that we managed to complete the five-hour-long tour of the magical park without feeling even a little tired and at the same time being able to taste every ice cream available here.

~Picnic spot of Woodfolk Magical Park~ {POV Luke Coninck}

My name is Luke Coninck, and I am seven years old.

We look like any other average family, but our family hides a very important secret that I, Dad, and Mom, all of us are magicians and we need to keep it a secret from others.

Yes, I also awakened my powers just last week.

So, to celebrate it, Dad and Mom took me along with some of their wizard friends and their children, who are my friends, to the Woodfolk Magical Park.

It was interesting at the beginning but very soon, it got boring when we began our tour of the plant section, and Mom started teaching me and the other children about all the plants displayed there.

That is why we had to spend an hour more in the boring plant section compared to the time we took in the magical creature section and by the end of it, even my legs began hurting due to standing for so long while watching some useless and ugly plants.

Then we reached the food section, but Mom stopped me from eating more than one ice cream, this made me very angry, we are here to celebrate for me but I can't do anything I want and my legs are also hurting after standing for so long, so I told my dad about this and he finally took us to the cool picnic place.

After resting for some time, I along with my friends asked for permission from our parents to play around in the free space of the picnic area; thankful, Mom didn't stop us this time.

So, four of us, two boys and two girls, started moving away from our parents in search of a free space big enough for us.

After some distance, I saw a boy and a girl, looking very similar to each other and wearing hoods, eating ice cream from big cups and two empty big cups of ice cream lying beside them.

I again started feeling very angry, as even I ate one small cup of ice cream even though it is my celebration but they are eating two big cups each.

Observing that there is no adult around them with them I mocked them before laughing out with my friends.

"Look, these are the children that nobody wants, their parents have abandoned them here."

I also heard two of my friends chuckling along with me.

Then I noticed that both of them stopped eating ice cream and the little boy has lowered his head. I thought he will start crying and was feeling satisfied with their reaction, this is what they get for showing off in front of me.

But then the girl stood up and the boy said something to her, but each word he spoke further spoiled my mood and made me angrier.

"Don't kill them.....Don't break their bones...Don't damage their internal organs...Don't make them bleed too much."

At this time, if someone asks Aruhik, how does he have a list of such things in a rather sequential manner, then his reply will be: 'Because this is the sequence of thoughts going through Sia's mind each time I am denying one of her methods'.

"How dare y..."

I wasn't even able to finish my sentence, the girl in front of me disappeared and at the very same moment, I felt a strong pressure against my nose and tumbled back.

The next 5 minutes were hell, as that girl hit each part of my body, even kicked in a place like between my legs at that boy's advice. When she let us go, we started running back towards our parents and I heard that boy's annoying but scary voice from the back.

"Thanks for the hard work, how about I feed you my ice cream?"

I currently have a broken nose, two broken teeth, also my friends told me that both of my eyes are black and my whole body is hurting, especially between my legs which makes it very difficult for me to even run. All of my friends are also in conditions similar to mine, even the girls.

When we reached our parents, Mom asked.

"What happened to you, who beat you up?"

"I....I...I slipped."

But then Dad asked.

"With a footprint on your left cheek?"

None of my friends told me about this.

"We slipped over each other."

How can I admit that all four of us were beaten by a single girl much younger than us!

'This is the worst celebration ever...'

*****

~Lestrange manor library: Spell Trial Room~ {POV Aruhik}

Soon after returning from the park, Gippy informed me that the library has been cleaned and is ready to use, so I decided that we should check out the magic system of this world.

That's why, currently I am reading a book on one of the basic spells, Lumos, while Sia is comfortably sitting beside me on the sofa with her eyes closed. As she doesn't know how to read or write, I told her to close her eyes and concentrate on my vision and thoughts, in this way she can also understand the books that I am reading.

But very soon, I came across a very serious problem, as the content of this book and other books on this topic are very abstract.

I mean, just for a basic Lumos spell it started explaining three natural laws and also mentioned the tone of voice, the posture of the body, movement of wand, and other things being related to those laws and rules.

However, even after spending a whole hour and completely reading the book, I just can't understand how the hell can a simple flash-light spell be related to the natural laws about the creation of life, and even though I wasn't able to complete my studies previously and this is a magical world, I still feel all that even the three laws mentioned here are nothing more than carelessly written claptrap.

Therefore, I started experimenting using the hit and trial method of including some parts from the book and leaving the parts I just can't comprehend or found to be utterly useless, and if it fails, next time select a different set of choices to consider.

Quite obviously, I not using a wand as I really don't want to become dependent on it.

But after my 78th failure of trying to cast a simple light spell and not an explosive flash spell or even explosion spell without any flash, which has already happened for more than 50 attempts, I released a defeated sigh and did what I should have done from the start and not viewed myself to be an inborn magical prodigy.

"Dimpy."

"Yes, Young Master."

"Bring me a wand, you can search in the manor as some of the previous family members should have left.

After taking the wand, I immediately started experimenting but had to stop only after the first try and released another sigh before calling Dimpy again.

Why? Because even before I spoke the spell, the wand exploded, just by channeling my mana into it.

Well, on the positive side, at least I learned that the amount of mana I am using is too big, due to which even my wand exploded.

"Dimpy, bring as many wands as you find in the manor."

Well, this manor does have a lot of old wands as the figure might have already reached the three digits but Dimpy is still bringing more.

Anyway, this just gives me more trial attempts.

After randomly picking 2 of the wands, I gave one to Sia.

Understanding my meaning, she took the wand but also asked her own doubt.

"Why learn? Too weak and useless."

Well, Sia is right, this Lumos can't be used in a fight, and due to our night vision we won't ever be needing this spell, but we still need to master it because to learn something new, starting from basic is the best choice.

"There are some really strong spells in this world such as Fiendfyre spell; which creates a fire that can theoretically burn everything, Killing Curse; getting hit by which means certain death and it can't be defended against. Then there are also many strange but convenient spells that can be used for controlling other people to move heavy objects. Now, what do you think of these spells?"

"...Strong?..."

Sia gave me the expected reply but she wasn't fully convinced herself, because before coming here she has learned that this is just a Tier-1 world, supposedly just above the non-supernatural world; therefore, it is rather hard to believe that such a 'beginner level' world would contain such strong fighting means.

"So we must learn it for both using it ourselves and to protect ourselves from these strange and strong spells, as we don't know what will be the effect of these spells on us; also, no matter what tier this world might belong to, this world has a civilization built by hundreds, if not thousands of generations, so we must not underestimate their means."

Hearing my reply, especially the last part, Sia understood that it is wrong and even fatal to look down on others without even checking them out once; therefore, Sia got up to practice with me but she still isn't fully convinced with my approach.

"Let's only learn strong spells...and, useful spells."

"Well, we can't really do that, because as much as I am tempted to do so, before learning strong but complex spells, we need to start from somewhere which is obviously the basic and simple spell; after all, if we can't even cast this simple spell, we would just be wasting our time by trying to directly learn the complex ones."

Finally convinced, Sia also started to practice with me and used a spell for the first time, and result? Well, I come to know she can create an even bigger explosion than me, and that too on her first try.

"...Try reducing the mana outflow rate, also after every few trials, we will share our experience."

As we don't need to put our experience into words, working together is much more efficient for us.

*****

~A few hours later~ {POV Aruhik}

Both Sia and I continued with our practice and did many trials but weren't able to master that simple light spell even in few hours.

And we would have continued doing the same, if not for Raldy coming back in the evening with news from the island due to which we had to stop; well, at least we learned how not to blow up the wand while channeling mana into it.

There is a high chance that we and magicians from this world might have something more different in our body except for just having denser energy, due to which we aren't able to master this spell; however, this is something to be checked later on, for now, I and Sia have to prepare for an important event... or for better words, a play; as Raldy just informed me...

"Young Master, Raldy witnessed a group of 40 Aurors just arriving on the island, Raldy was only able to identify that they were from Ireland, and, British Ministry of magic, but, then, Raldy has to come back when they started searching the island."

"Good work, and remember, no matter who comes or whatever happens in the manor, you can't show yourself today; unless I call you."

"Yes, young master."

I didn't expect Ireland to contact British Ministry even before actually investigating the island once, or maybe they already invested and found the country in which the family owning the island is living.

Well, it doesn't really matter anyway, as it only decreases my preparation time because, now, we will be meeting Aurors and Aunt Narcissa Malfoy just a little sooner.

Mentioning our Aunt, it reminded me of another important piece of information from the scroll, that I have to remind Sia to keep in mind, in case she ignored this information.

In other people's eyes, we both are the types of kids who usually remain silent, and even then, the one who usually talks for both of us is me while Sia doesn't even reply to others most of the time, and if she talks, she uses very few words in each sentence. Also, no matter what others say or do, we don't separate from each other.

Up to this part, there isn't any problem with it rather it is quite convenient for us; except for the fact that even I am the silent type, which isn't completely true, as even though I don't really prefer to do useless chatter, it also isn't like I am incapable of doing so; rather I believe myself to be more than capable enough of engaging a random person I have never met before in my talk for at least half an hour.

But the next part... how should I put it? ...Not that I completely hate it, rather I don't feel comfortable with it; furthermore, for some reason this part makes me feel like that the old man in the white room is deliberately messing with me.

Well, still it must be my misconception because rationally, I don't feel like it is going to be problematic for us in any way.

By this time, Sia has turned towards me while mentally questioning, as she also sensed I want to tell her something.

"Sia, in front of others, I will call you as Elder Sister Sia or Big Sister Sia, while you call to me as Aruhik or younger brother Aruhik, because for people of this world, you are my Elder Sister and I am your Younger Brother."

Even though we both are twins, Sia is my elder sister and I am her younger brother; as for the reason why I don't feel comfortable with this...because all my life I have always been the older sibling, that too with two younger brothers and not even a single cousin, let alone an older one. That's why this setting just feels unfamiliar to me.

"Younger Brother Aruhik?"

Although Sia understood my meaning, sensing my instinctual disfavor towards it, she confirmed again, so while mentally telling her that it is nothing too important, I confirmed.

"Yes, my dear Elder Sister Sia."

This made her smile happily for some reason as the only thing I can find in her thoughts is, she likes the sound of me calling her elder sister; well, at least with this, I can slowly get used to it.

Then both of us went to the dining room and while eating some snacks began waiting for the show to start. And, if I play my part properly, both of us would be able to legally leave this country within the next few days and get more freedom for our actions.

********

A/N:

Hi everyone,

I want to clarify somethings, the bond between Aruhik and Sia is different from any other vampire-familiar bond, this is the part of the special gift that the old man gave to Aruhik. He also gave similar gifts to the other participants, while none of them are informed about it also everyone's gift is different. What are the criteria? You all will know it later part of the story.

By the way, I found a quite interesting song related to Harry Potter so I shared it here, I will also put it in comments so you can copy-paste it.

https://youtu.be/54oz2ERjsGs

Have some ideas about my story? Comment it and let me know.

Until Next Time.
