Flamel Manor | 10th December 1988 | 3 PM

Sirius had received a letter a few days back along with a portkey to pick his ward up. He arrived at the Flamel Manor at 3 PM.

Sirius was pleasantly surprised that the person who Charlus was studying under was actually Nicholas Flamel. He didn't believe that a person who had secluded himself for over 400 years would take a student.

"So Charlus, ready to make the next Philosopher's Stone?"

Sirius asked Charlus immediately after he met him.

Charlus shook his head.

"Not today. I didn't learn enough. I will have to come back next year."

Sirius sighed.

"It's okay. I don't care about how long you take to make it. I only care about getting the stone. Think of it as a payment for taking care of you for all these years. Now, where is the world-famous Nicholas Flamel? I am very eager to meet the legend."

"He is busy. He will meet you next year."

"Next year? Come on Charlus, I came all the way here for you."

"For me? Didn't you just say that you came for the Philosopher's Stone?"

Sirius smiled awkwardly.

"Really? When did I say that? You must have heard me wrong."

Chalrus shook his head.

"My teacher is busy. He won't be able to meet you today. You can meet him when you pick me up next year though."

Sirius was disappointed.

"Fine. Come on, Harry is excited that you are coming early."

Charlus smiled.

"Okay."

They left from the Manor. Nicholas Flamel came to the living room and didn't find anyone there.

"They left already? Pity. I wanted to speak with Sirius. Maybe next year."

He turned around and went back to his room.

Black Manor | 10th December 1988 | 4 PM

Charlus took some rest after he came to the house. He just lay in his bed and started thinking about what he could do. He couldn't perform magic because that was illegal. He could practice his control on his powers, but he wanted to do something fun.

He decided that he would ask Harry for ideas since Harry was able to survive the past 3 years by himself without anyone to play.

"I made friends in my school. I go to their house sometimes to play. You can come with me. I am going to their house tomorrow."

"Really? Count me in! I'll be bored to death here."

"Why? Can't you just use magic?"

Charlus sighed.

"No. Students aren't allowed to use magic outside the school."

"That's too bad. I wanted to see you do magic."

"Same. Don't worry. You are 8 years old right now. Three more years and you'll be in Hogwarts!"

Saint-Jean-de-Luv | 11th December 1988 | 8 AM

Charlus followed Harry who went to the doorstep of a 2 story house. He knocked and waited for a response. A few seconds later, a young boy opened the door. He looked at Harry and said, "Harry! Could you give a second?"

"Sure."

The boy closed the door and shouted hard enough for Charlus and Harry to hear from outside the house.

"Harry's here. He brought someone with him."

He opened the door and said, "Come on in."

Charlus went in and didn't touch anything. He didn't know anyone there so he had to act politely. A woman came in a few minutes later. She had her hair tied up in a bun. She was wearing an apron.

"Harry. So nice to see you. Did you come alone again?"

She looked at Charlus.

"Is this your brother?"

Harry nodded. Charlus introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you, madame. I am Charlus Potter. I am Harry's older brother."

She smiled and asked him.

"Nonsense. Call me Camille. I always doubt, Harry. Why is it that your parents don't drop you here?"

Harry's smile weakened.

"They died in a car crash," Charlus said to Camille.

"Oh. I am very sorry dear. I shouldn't have asked. So who is taking care of you then?"

"Our godfather."

"Well then, I would like to meet this godfather. He did a good job raising Harry. Your friends must be waiting. I will bring you some snacks later."

Charlus followed Harry upstairs and met all his friends. Harry's friends were twins. One boy and one girl. The boy was Remy and the girl was Rosa. Their last name was Rowe. Remy was Harry's first friend at school, so they were particularly close.

"We have four people. Maybe we can play monopoly. Maybe teams?"

Harry immediately jumped towards Remy.

"I'm with Remy!"

"Okay." Rosa laughed at Harry's eagerness. "I'll be with... Charlus right?"

Charlus nodded with a sheepish look on his face. He felt guilty for what was going to happen.

It took 20 minutes for Charlus and Rosa to go bankrupt.
