Ryan is now 5 years old him and Luna play almost every other day with toys he had bought from the system he has become good friends with the twins by offering them muggle style joke books and pranks along with magic shop items and tricks like fake poo and fart spray double headed coins and hand buzzers. Ron had grown up a whiney little brat Ginny is now 4 and has a Harry potter obsession and I treat her like a little sister I'll probably s.n.a.t.c.h riddles diary to prevent her c.r.a.ppy year at hogwarts me and Luna play with her a lot Luna has still got that dreamy look all the time but is more happy and open than what was shown in the book she loves animals still and talks about strange things which I think are mage vision and seer powers I've introduced her to my gnome knights they have taken to following her around I had to scold them once that gnome knights don't skip and collect flowers. it fell upon deaf ears as I was ignored for Luna I wonder if this is how king Arthur felt when he was betrayed by his most loyal knights. I must not cry. I must be strong my kingdom needs me. I'll just have shadow 1 who I've named Liu Kang double their training.
anyway from my system book I've learned that nargles really do exist apparently they are a type of magical sprite in the fabrics of s.p.a.ce and time idk I got lost reading it.
now Ginny that little tomboy spitfire all that's on her mind is flying mud and rough housing. I don't see what's so good about flying when you can walk everywhere perfectly fine no need to go so high up in the air with all those chances to drop to your death nuh uh. chances of falling to death drastically decrease when your on the ground I mean it's not like I'm afraid of flying (Ca.s.sie: pfft.) no sir a king fears nothing not even fish with those dead looking soulless eyes and the weird way they flop *s.h.i.+ver* okay so we can't all be perfect there's zero chance of me ever wanting to get on a quidditch team like ever and I totally don't eat seafood because I'm afraid of it. nope. crispy boneless chicken is just my favorite yep. so now back to me I've finally been able to start my missions most of them are practicing wandless magic for 1 hour a day some basic exercises and random quests from mother to do small ch.o.r.es I asked for an allowance I get 1 galleon a week I can ask for a trip to the alley at some point but not right now for now I'm going to fill up my dragon piggybank. I use a little bit sometimes for birthday presents like cat in the hat books for Luna and some quidditch books for Ginny honestly I like quidditch I just don't ever want to play it. I can gain about 200 sp everyday from my quests I'm planning to save it it's hard to earn. I've learned a few new spells that I remember from the books such as the unlocking spell alohamora the stunning spell stupify and expeliarmus I am trying to learn the patronus but it's really hard and my magic can't sustain it my stunning spells probably don't even have the power to daze someone but they are getting better and I've learned reducto the blasting curse it doesn't so much as blast as it does push stuff away from me.
TIME SKIP 3 YEARS
I'm now 8 years old I'm allowed to leave the house by myself and go to Lunas the weaselys or the park down the road of course I have a tracking spell on me most of the time Luna is with me a lot of the time like some ray of suns.h.i.+ne that follows me and makes my day brighter the accident to her mother happened last week and she watched it but lucky for us Pandora always wore the emergency port key so she was saved after that Luna clung to me a lot more than usual with hugs and hand holding and sometimes crying we had to work hard to get her back to the ray of suns.h.i.+ne and mysteries we all know and love our friends.h.i.+p has progressed to where when her and Ginny play house I'm her future husband and Ginny gets Harry I was excited when I heard of this it seems my childhood friends.h.i.+p has gone well honestly though the Harry Potter husband thing from Ginny kind of feels like brainwas.h.i.+ng they should work on that I've introduced her to other hero books in the hopes in can help a bit but we all know I'm going to tease her about it mercilessly. the twins have gotten to the strange noises and explosions coming from their room molly has given up trying to stop them it's their first year after all maybe I should give them some tips. other than this nothing to really report my gnome knights now hold martial arts tournaments on the regular me and Luna as king and queen of the gnomes watch over them while enjoying pumpkin juice which I found odd at first I still prefer apple. the winner of the tournament gets a mount I lucked upon some squirrels and I s.n.a.t.c.hed them into my kingdom they are used as prizes and teaches the gnomes proper animal care I've even helped them build a squirrel stable. they have recently started working on s.p.a.ce travel (as I watch one gnome fire another gnome using a wooden slingshot) it's not progressing well but I have high hopes for them.
