Harry Potter: Raised By Roses

Chapter Five: Platform 9 ¾

The three Gardna siblings spent a month learning what they could from what they had. Especially how to work with their wands when they had their mystic soul powers as well.

Harry was the one most intrigued by wizard magic, as it was the type of magic his parents had used. Don't get him wrong, he loves being a mystic soul and everything that comes with his gift. But wizard magic was his heritage and he wasn't going to abandon it. He thought that if his parents had lived, he would have probably been raised around it and never even have known that he was a mystic soul. In truth, that was the case with a lot of witches and wizards in England that don't know about their powers. But according to Buzz and Vallia, it's better that way.

Krinos and Melody were a little more cautious than their brother. England was a dangerous place for mystic souls. Buzz and Vallia had barely escaped with their lives when they were found out. They were going to make sure their brother was safe from the maniacs that seem to run that insane country.

Right now, it was the day before they had to catch the train to their new school. They had all read through their books, even corrected a few errors they saw in them. They did think the first year knowledge was a bit basic and as if it was being held back for some odd reason. Any seven or eight-year-old mystic soul could brew a Boil Curing potion. They had their own revision of it for the teenage mages to get rid of pimples.

"I still don't like this," Krinos says to Melody, watching Harry practice wand movements from one of his books as Selene watched him. "Nature doesn't feel right, over there."

"I know you're protective of us, but he wants to honor his birth parents," Melody reminded him.

Wolf was standing by his bonded, Krinos's hand on his head. Frost was, as always, comfortably sitting on Melody's head. She never seemed to mind, as it was always her head, her shoulder, or right next to her that Frost always seemed to be.

"I'm not saying he shouldn't," Krinos said. "His birth parents were as much his parents as Mámá and Bampás were. I would never come between any connection he could have with them. I know I'd do the same thing in an instant if it was a connection to Mámá and Bampás."

"I get it, now," Melody nodded her head, understanding. "You don't want our world exposed to England. You want to protect Harry and our home."

"Mystic souls aren't supposed to be secret, but that country has tried hunting us on multiple occasions," Krinos almost growled. "We're going into the belly of the beast, attending Hogwarts. And I'll be sent to Tartarus before I let my brother and my fellow mystic souls be in such danger."

"You may be too noble for your own good," Melody giggled.

"I'm not a member of Unicorn for nothing," Krinos smirked. "We may be pure, but our horns are as sharp as a dagger."

"You should put that on a sign to hang above the door to Unicorn Hall," Melody suggested, giggling.

"Who says I don't already have one, but enchanted to only be seen by members of the house," Krinos teased.

"If you think you're being funny, it's not happening," Melody said.

The snowy owl that Hagrid got them, Harry naming her Hedwig, then landed on Harry's head. She hooted something to him as she looked at the book.

"Couldn't have put it better myself, girl," Harry responded.

"What did she say," Melody asked, the twins sitting next to their brother.
