Chapter 69
I had bought the 5 basic humunculus for my extra souls they didn't cost much now they looked like little babies in my internal soul realm wrapped up sleeping in enkidu chains it was kinda cute. I didn't want to use any of them now but they were linked to the kingdom as well so basically If I get f.u.c.ked up and this body dies one of my baby clones pops up in the kingdom to be taken care of by Ca.s.sie and the girls til I can function the souls have an auto recovery rate as well so if one dies it recovers but it takes 50 years per. and 5 years til my body can do anything worthwhile. now it was time for my grand adventure the big one the one we've all been waiting for yes the quidditch world cup Ca.s.sie woke me up "Time to go, Ryan, dear," I heard in my mind.
I looked out the window. It was still dark outside. luna muttered indistinctly as I helped wake her up. At the foot of my mattress i saw three large, disheveled shapes emerging from tangles of blankets.
"'S time already?" said Tonks groggily.
They dressed in silence, too sleepy to talk, then, yawning and stretching, the five of them headed downstairs into the kitchen. I didn't peek at them i swear. Mom was stirring the contents of a large pot on the stove, while Dad was sitting at the table, checking a sheaf of large parchment tickets. He looked up as the everyone entered and spread his arms so that they could see his clothes more clearly. He was wearing what appeared to be a golfing sweater and a very old pair of jeans, slightly too big for him and held up with a thick leather belt.
"What d'you think?" he asked anxiously. "We're supposed to go incognito – do I look like a Muggle, Ryan?" "Yeah," said Ryan, smiling, "very good. " we had to use a portkey this morning there were to many people to apparate ryan knew that Apparating meant disappearing from one place and reappearing almost instantly in another, but had never practiced it yet for fear of splinching and understood that it was very difficult. he would start practicing when people could watch and help he really wanted to learn before going to the next world it would be so much easier to travel. but the thought of leaving body parts behind was always worrying. Harry had never heard of apparition before so they explained about what it was and how you needed a license. "You have to pa.s.s a test to Apparate?" Harry asked.
"Oh yes," said Dad, tucking the tickets safely into the back pocket of his jeans. "The Department of Magical Transportation had to fine a couple of people the other day for Apparating without a license. It's not easy, Apparition, and when it's not done properly it can lead to nasty complications. This pair I'm talking about went and splinched themselves. "
Everyone around the table except Harry winced.
"Er – splinched?" said Harry.
"They left half of themselves behind," said dad, now spooning large amounts of treacle onto his porridge. "So, of course, they were stuck. Couldn't move either way. Had to wait for the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad to sort them out. Meant a fair old bit of paperwork, I can tell you, what with the Muggles who spotted the body parts they'd left behind..... "Were they okay?" he asked, startled.
"Oh yes," said dad matter-of-factly. "But they got a heavy fine, and I don't think they'll be trying it again in a hurry. You don't mess around with Apparition. There are plenty of adult wizards who don't bother with it. Prefer brooms – slower, but safer. "
