Harry Potter: Raised By Roses

Chapter 3- The Giant

"I sense owls," Harry said, his head shooting up.

His other hand was petting Selene. Krinos and Wolf were lying in the shade of a nearby willow tree. Melody was playing the lyre with Frost swaying his head to the tune. The four all looked at him.

"I don't recall any owls being in the stables or nursery," Krinos says, Wolf jogging after his bonded.

"Because there aren't," Melody said.

Harry looked up, his siblings following his gaze. Two owls were flying their way. They looked like normal barn owls. One had a single letter, while the other had two.

"Doesn't magical England use owls to deliver mail," Harry remembered.

"How primitive," Krinos says. "We use Terror Mail for long distance and delivering to non-mystic souls, while Mirror Mail is between our kind."

"We have always said that they're about two hundred years behind on magical updates," Melody snickered. "We still uphold traditions, but we do create things to make ourselves look less primitive. Between all our variations on magic mirrors, the enchantments lined with specific pieces of clothing, and our types of transportation, we're a lot farther along than mundanes."

The owls dropped the letters in their hands. They then settled next to Harry, his animal magnetism at work.

"You poor dears," he sighed. "You've flown a long way, haven't you?"

"They most definitely have, according to where these letters have come from," Melody says, looking at her letter. "These are acceptance letters to Hogwarts."

"The top magic school in England and Scotland," Harry raised an eyebrow. "Do they even deliver letters this far?"

"It may be because of you," Krinos guessed. "The Potters are one of the ancient and noble families of magical England. Your parents most likely attended there."

"Why mess with tradition," Harry shrugged.

Most mystic souls aren't very fond of England. They find English wizards far too prejudice and selfish. Any English mages that discover their powers usually high tail it out of the country before they're hunted like deer. The only mystic souls from England at Crystal Rose, currently, were Benjamin "Buzz" Prince and Vallia Avery. Nowadays they go by Buzz Wasp and Vallia Fly, ridding themselves of their English names. They hate England with a passion, as do almost every mystic soul in the world.

While Hogwarts was a great school for wand users, most schools like that are not equipped to handle the emotion-based power that mystic souls possess. They're taught from a young age that their power comes from their emotions. When Krinos first developed his powers, they came from his happiness. Melody had bursts of magic whenever she got excited. And Harry's first started appearing in moments of anger.

"But it is a school for wand users," Harry asked. "Will we even be able to do those types of spells."

"I have heard of several mystic souls that have attended wand using schools," Melody says. "You've already met students from Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, and Salem."

"All we would need is the items on this list, mostly our own wands, and we'll be all set for their world," Krinos said. "But, of course, I ain't using no parchment. Paper is harmful to trees. I will spread the word."

"Nature mages, always with the preservation of the wild," Melody shook her head.

"Do you like expect anything less," Harry smirked, getting a head shake in response.
