With the mansions taking shape and the city of Starios slowly rising from the ground, life in Mirithis was beginning to feel more stable. The sense of wonder and discovery that had accompanied the first few weeks on the new planet had not faded, but the magical community now had a sense of purpose. They were no longer simply exploring or surviving—they were building a future.

The Russo Family: Settling Into Routine

At the Russo mansion, Alex, Justin, and Max were beginning to find their own routines within the new world. While their parents, Jerry and Theresa, were adjusting to life in Mirithis, it was the three siblings who had really thrown themselves into the work of helping shape this new world.

Alex had taken on a role that surprised even her. She was a key figure in the exploration teams, often working alongside Harry, Luna, and Neville. Her sharp instincts and quick thinking made her an asset during their expeditions, and though she still had her usual sarcastic wit, Alex had found a new sense of responsibility here.

Justin, true to his nature, was overseeing much of the construction of the educational systems and infrastructure within Starios. He had already mapped out plans for a magical academy—something similar to Hogwarts but adapted to the unique challenges and opportunities of Mirithis. He spent hours poring over blueprints and consulting with Harry, Draco, and other leaders to ensure that the city's design would allow for both magical growth and protection.

Max, though less focused, had found himself drawn to the more practical side of building the city. While he didn't have Justin's meticulous planning skills or Alex's sharp wit, his ability to improvise and solve problems on the fly had earned him respect among the builders. He often found creative solutions to unexpected challenges, much to everyone's surprise.

Harry and the City's Progress

Harry, meanwhile, was balancing his responsibilities as the central leader of the wizarding community. His mornings were often spent overseeing construction in Starios, where the Wizengamot Hall and other key government buildings were being erected. The work was steady but required constant attention to detail—ensuring that the magical wards, security measures, and overall structure of the city were in place.

He would occasionally meet with Draco, who had taken a keen interest in the political side of things. Though their relationship had been strained in the past, the shared responsibility of building this new world had brought a sense of mutual respect. Draco's organizational skills and connections within the magical world were invaluable in ensuring the city would be both functional and secure.

Luna and Neville's Discoveries

While Harry and Draco focused on the political and structural aspects of Starios, Luna and Neville were continuing their exploration of Mirithis' natural wonders. Luna had taken it upon herself to document every magical creature they encountered, while Neville had become something of a caretaker for the unique flora of the planet.

On one of their many excursions into the wilds, Luna had discovered a glowing tree that seemed to pulse with its own magical rhythm. It was unlike anything they had seen before. Neville, always fascinated by plant life, took several samples to study and had begun experimenting with cross-pollinating the magical plants of Mirithis with the flora they had brought from Earth.

One afternoon, as they sat by the river that Harry's team had discovered weeks ago, Neville looked up from his notebook, a sense of wonder in his eyes. "You know, Luna, I don't think we'll ever fully understand this place. It's like the magic here is... alive in a way we've never known."
