Harry Potter and the Deep Freeze

The Dome's Gift

The sanctuary lay silent under the cover of night, the stillness broken only by the faint hum of the magical barrier surrounding it. Beneath this tranquility, the dome stirred with a purpose unknown to its residents, its energy rippling outward like a living entity.

The Expansion

In the depths of the night, the dome expanded outward, silently claiming 200 more acres of land. Within these new boundaries, it constructed entire subdivisions, each tailored to accommodate the growing population:

Traditional Subdivisions: Rows of charming brick homes with chimneys puffing faint wisps of enchanted smoke.Modern Townhomes: Sleek, magically powered homes designed with comfort and functionality in mind.Cottage Clusters: Quaint, nature-inspired dwellings nestled among new enchanted gardens.

The homes shimmered faintly with the dome's magic, as though welcoming their future inhabitants with open arms. Pathways lit by softly glowing lanterns connected the new neighborhoods, creating a sense of unity and belonging.

The Transformation

Once the expansion was complete, the dome's energy shifted focus. Its magic flowed like an invisible tide, seeking out the Muggles and Squibs scattered throughout the sanctuary.

Quietly, without waking a soul, the dome began to weave its magic into their very essence.

For the Muggles: The dome touched their souls, subtly reshaping them. What had once been purely human cores now carried faint echoes of magical energy, akin to the dormant potential of Squibs.For the Squibs: The dome strengthened their cores, drawing out latent magic and merging it with its own unique energy.

This transformation was gentle, almost imperceptible, but profound. The dome had gifted its people something entirely new—a latent power that would manifest as the sanctuary continued to evolve.

The Dome's Class System

What none of the residents knew was that this change was not random. The dome's magic had carefully chosen and assigned character classes to each individual, much like in the RPGs many Muggles loved.

Each class corresponded to their unique strengths, personalities, and the colors of their cores.

Warriors (Reds and Crimsons): Physical fighters, defenders, and protectors.Mages (Blues and Purples): Spellcasters and strategists.Rangers (Greens): Nature-based fighters, hunters, and healers.Clerics (Pinks and Golds): Healers, leaders, and supporters.Rogues (Shadows and Silvers): Quick, cunning, and stealthy.Artisans (Oranges and Yellows): Innovators, builders, and creators.

The transformation was subtle at first. The Muggles and Squibs would wake up feeling slightly more attuned to their surroundings, with increased reflexes, sharper senses, or bursts of unexpected creativity. Over time, these abilities would grow stronger, reshaping their roles in the sanctuary.

The Class Crystal

The dome's final act that night was to place a new artifact in the Crystal Room of the Nigrum Anima building.

In the center of the main table, a clear, hourglass-shaped crystal materialized, glowing faintly with the dome's energy. Its surface shimmered with shifting colors, reflecting the countless cores it now influenced.

This artifact, known only to the dome, would soon reveal its purpose:

The Class Crystal, a tool designed to identify the class of every individual within the sanctuary. By placing their hands on the crystal, residents would discover their class, which would align with the color of their core.

The dome pulsed one final time, its magic settling as the night deepened.

Morning Discoveries

The next morning, Harry stood on the astronomy tower, surveying the sanctuary below. His eyes widened as he spotted the new subdivisions stretching into the horizon.

"Merlin's beard..." he whispered.

Neville joined him moments later, also staring at the new additions. "The dome expanded again, didn't it?"

Harry nodded. "And not just a little—200 acres, at least. We'll need to explore it all."

Meanwhile, in the Nigrum Anima building, Luna and Draco entered the Crystal Room to check on the previous day's experiments. They stopped short when they saw the glowing hourglass-shaped crystal on the table.

"What is that?" Draco asked, stepping closer.

Luna tilted her head, her silver eyes glinting with curiosity. "It's new. The dome must have placed it here."

Draco reached out cautiously, but as his hand neared the crystal, it pulsed with light, projecting faint symbols and colors into the air.

"We'll need Harry," Luna said, turning to leave. "This is important."

As the sanctuary stirred to life, its residents remained unaware of the gifts the dome had bestowed upon them. But with the discovery of the Class Crystal, the sanctuary was about to take another step into the unknown—a step that would redefine the roles of everyone within its walls.

The dome was no longer just a protector. It was a guide, shaping its people for the challenges yet to come.
