Christmas Gifts
With Harry
'So feel how they change, huh? Which animal should I choose?' Harry thought.
"I'm still here, Harry." Mira interrupted and Harry nodded and took her form as a base.
"Ok, now change my face into that," Harry said and imagined his face changing into Mira's. It didn't happen. He tried again.
"Maybe you should try individually. Try changing your nose into mine and try it individually and if you achieve them, then try together." Mira suggested and Harry liked the idea.
"Thanks, Mira." And he started with his attempts to change his face for the rest of the afternoon.
When the time for snacks came, Andromeda came to fetch them and knocked on Harry's door. Harry peaked through a small gap in the door he opened.
"Snacks are ready, Harry." She said, smiling at his childish behaviour. "I'm coming," Harry replied and walked out of his room to follow her.
She already called Tonks and similar to Harry, she also followed Andromeda to the dining area.
"Why don't I feel comfortable with you two behind me? I get the feeling that you two are plotting something."
"We? No ma'am. We are doing no such thing." Harry strongly repelled.
"Don't you trust your daughter, mother?" Tonks responded with a dramatic sigh and hands on her heart.
"Fall to the right, fall to the right." Harry cheered and Tonks fell to the right.
"Yyyyyeeeeeeaaaaahhhh." He said in joy and changed his expression instantly. "What have you done, Andromeda? Poor Tonks. She doesn't even know how to paint herself. She stuck with feathers for all of us, she-"
"That's not in the script. You are talking on your own!" Tonks yelled as she stood from her unconscious state.
"How did this happen? Dora, are you alright?" Andromeda asked, hugging Tonks and taking the breath out of her in her worried state. Harry looked at the blue turned pink hair woman in pity.
"Oh, oh. I think you went too far, Andromeda." Harry said in worry as he looked at the emotionless Tonks.
"Oh, Dora. What happened to you?" Ted asked as he ran towards them.
"Ok, this is getting out of control. Tonks, wake up." Harry called her, but she didn't respond. Harry was sweating bullets.
'I didn't do anything. It's all Andromeda with her bone-crushing hug.' Harry repeated in his mind.
'Idiot. They are lawyers and they know how to corner you. Pack your bags and run!' His metal counterpart suggested and Harry thought of doing that.
Tonks woke up with her tongue out and did a victory dance. But due to her clumsiness, she hit something.
"I can play better pranks!" She chanted and Harry saw the Tonks couple laugh uncontrollably.
"I didn't think you two had this good acting skills," Harry said in appreciation and they smiled widely at him.
"We should, Harry. Now let's have some snacks." Ted said and Andromeda brought many varieties to eat. As Harry munched on, they came to the topic.
"Let's talk about some business," Ted said and Harry straightened back to his neutral persona.
"As you have asked, I have searched for anything that can help us escape the illegal Animagus charge and I found a way," Ted said with a victorious smirk and Harry inched closer to him.
"Do you know about the International Statute of Secrecy?" Ted asked and Harry nodded.
"They would say that every time we go on holiday. I know what it is and what it tries to uphold."
"Good. Let me elaborate on the gist of it. In essence, it forbids the usage of magic outside the magic rich areas as it could be seen by Muggles. That's why I think Sirius was not given a trial.
The Winzengamot thought he killed the muggles after performing magic in front of them to erase the evidence of his crime. They didn't see anything worthwhile to give Sirius a trial and threw him in Azkaban.
Back on topic. There is a governing principle of the International Confederation of Wizards. I am telling you all this because every member country should uphold some rules and values set by the ICW.
Magical Britain has been a member since its inception and on paper, upholds everything they say. I found something in their list of rules you might like." Here, Ted got a devious smile.
"The ICW requires all its member countries to respect each other and so enacted a resolution to give all of them equal status. If any Wizard/Witch gets a license to do something relating to magical arts in a member nation, it should be accepted by other member nations as well as a show of mutual respect." Said Ted as if quoting the text, his smile widening seeing the spark of recognition in Harry's eyes.
