Harry Potter and the Deep Freeze

A Gift for Unity

The Great Hall was filled with the faint hum of magic as the leaders and their delegations prepared to depart for their sanctuaries. The energy from the previous day's revelations still lingered in the air, and Harry knew this was the perfect moment to solidify the bonds they were beginning to forge.

Standing at the front of the hall, Harry gestured for everyone to gather. A series of neatly wrapped parcels floated in the air behind him, each shimmering with enchantments to ensure their safe delivery.

"I want to thank you all for coming," Harry began, his voice clear and steady. "Your willingness to see what we've built here, and your openness to collaborate, has already set us on the right path. But I believe this is just the beginning."

He waved his hand, and the parcels floated closer, stopping in front of each leader. "These are for you and your sanctuaries. Inside, you'll find a set of the three crystals—the Core Crystal, the Ranking Crystal, and the Class Crystal."

The Leaders' Reactions

Natalia Ivanova stepped forward, her sharp gaze fixed on the parcel in front of her. She reached out and unwrapped it, revealing the crystals nestled in a bed of protective enchantments. The golden light from the Class Crystal reflected in her eyes.

"You're giving us the tools you've built your sanctuary on," she said, her tone a mix of curiosity and respect. "That's no small gesture, Potter."

Harry nodded. "These crystals are more than just tools—they're a way to understand your people, to help them find their roles, and to strengthen your sanctuary as a whole. I want each of you to have that opportunity."

Zhang Yi examined his set of crystals, running his fingers lightly over the Core Crystal. "This will bring clarity to our teams and improve our ability to collaborate. It's an invaluable gift."

Amara Diop smiled faintly as she unwrapped her parcel. "You're sharing your greatest asset with us. That speaks volumes about your vision for unity."

Hugo Frey studied the Ranking Crystal, the number 100 briefly flickering across its surface. "These will bring order to our sanctuaries. It's a gift not just of tools, but of trust."

The Organized Notebooks

Harry gestured again, and a second set of parcels floated forward. These were smaller, wrapped in deep green parchment and sealed with a golden crest.

"These," Harry said, "are notebooks. Each one is enchanted and organized with sections that align with the crystals. They're blank for now, but they're structured to record the core colors, ranks, and classes of your people."

He smiled faintly. "Percy insisted on the outlines, so they're as detailed as possible. You'll also find space for additional notes and observations—it's a tool for you to track and understand your sanctuary's strengths."

Percy stepped forward, holding a notebook to demonstrate. "It's divided into three sections: one for core colors, one for ranks, and one for classes. There's even a space at the back for strategies and plans."

Natalia thumbed through the notebook she had unwrapped, nodding in approval. "This is efficient. You've thought of everything."

The Dome's Secret Influence

Unbeknownst to Harry or anyone else in the room, the dome itself had worked in the stillness of the previous night. Its magic had quietly infused the three crystals being sent out to the leaders.

This magic was subtle yet transformative, similar to what the dome had done for the Muggles and Squibs within its sanctuary. The dome's power reached into the crystals, embedding its essence within them. This magic would resonate with the sanctuaries they were sent to, adapting to the unique energies of their residents.

For the Core Crystal, the dome's magic would refine and amplify the cores of the people it interacted with, making their strengths more pronounced and their connections deeper.
For the Ranking Crystal, it would enhance the potential of those it measured, unlocking abilities they hadn't known they possessed.
And for the Class Crystal, it would ensure that each individual's role aligned not only with their strengths but with the needs of their community.

The dome's intention was clear: to unite and empower all sanctuaries, creating a ripple effect that would strengthen the Global Sanctuary Alliance as a whole.

A Symbol of Trust

Harry looked out at the group, his expression serious. "These gifts are more than just practical tools—they're a symbol of trust. The sanctuaries can only thrive if we work together, if we share knowledge and resources freely. This is my way of showing that I'm committed to that vision."

The leaders exchanged glances, their skepticism from earlier visits fully replaced by a growing sense of respect and trust.

"You're proving yourself, Potter," Natalia said, her tone softer than usual. "I don't say that lightly."

Amara added, "These gifts will be put to good use. And they'll remind us of the importance of what we're building here."

Moving Forward

As the leaders prepared to leave, the parcels floated beside them, glowing faintly with the dome's hidden magic. They carried more than just tools—they carried the potential to transform their sanctuaries and bring unity to the fractured world.

As the Great Hall emptied, Harry remained behind with his core team, gazing at the now-quiet room.

"You've given them a lot, Harry," Neville said, his voice filled with admiration.

"They've given me their trust," Harry replied. "It's only fair I return the gesture."

Draco smirked. "Let's hope they use it wisely. You've essentially handed them the foundation of everything we've built here."

"They will," Luna said confidently. "The crystals are just the beginning. It's what they do with them that will truly matter."

Far above them, the dome shimmered faintly, its unseen presence satisfied. With its quiet touch, the sanctuaries of the world had been subtly united, their futures bound together by magic and purpose.
