Ancient Magic From The Stars

Chapter 20: Finding The Flamel's



Hyacinth POV

I gave them a few hours to calm down before I brought up the original reason why I had to tell them about first year and that was the philosopher's stone that was owned by Nicolas Flamel. "Dad can we talk about contacting the Flamel's now?" Uncle Moony and Dad snapped there heads in my direction with a puzzled look so I continued, "I originally wanted to find the Flamel's and bring them in on the secret because Mr. Flamel is a legendary alchemist. I also think that him and his wife might be upset with Dumbles because he destroyed their stone which was keeping them alive. I think with them and Uncle Moony we can help them and maybe make some better progress with Nev's parents. I was also hoping Mr. Flamel would help with my magic machines research. I know we can use our ancestors technology but I want to make things that we can use with the magic that we have developed over the years as well as help advance wizarding society enough to where they wont be discovered once the muggle's have advanced technology. I might not want to take all of the wizarding world with us but I don't want them to be killed either." 

It was Gran who spoke up first, "I think it's a wonderful idea Cinthy, I will reach out to them. One of the perks of being old is having a plethora of contacts at my disposal." Dad smiled at that and almost said something I knew he would regret until Uncle Moony elbowed him in the ribs. The look of betrayal that crossed Dad's face as he looked at Uncle Moony was priceless. It was three days later that Mr. & Mrs. Flamel showed up at Grans house, obviously curiosity was enough to pull them away from their funeral preparations. We all sat down as Gran and Dad started asking them questions, everything was fine until Gran brought up Dumbles and Mrs. Flamel's face turned into a right and proper scowl. "Do forgive mine and my wife's reactions to young Dumbledore's name he asked to borrow and item that we need and cherish quite a bit, for research he said but then he destroyed it before even talking to us about it and now we are destined to die soon." I looked down ashamed and before quietly saying, "I'm sorry." Mr. Flamel looked at me funny before he said, "For what? It's not your fault that Dumbledore chose to destroy my property instead of giving it back to me. It's not like we haven't kept it well protected for over 600 years or anything." The last part came out kind of like a pout or a grumble maybe but I understood the sentiment and was glad they didn't blame me after hearing my story about last school year.

It was then that Uncle Moony said, "We understand your grievances and we appreciate you not blaming Cinthy in her part however small it was in the destruction of your property. With that being said we contacted you mostly because Cinthy had a deal she wanted to make with you that would benefit us both." Mr. Flamel looked curiously at me and said, "Well then I shall hear you out child." I Squeezed Dad's hand for support and said, "Well I learned something interesting when I did a lineage test at Gringotts, apparently we and by we I mean all witches and wizards are descended from a race of people know as Alterans. Through my inheritance I found the information and proof of this in my family vaults and we have started to gather resources to return to our ancestral city of Atlantis. We want to know if you wanted to join us, there is an outpost here on earth that has a med-bay that would allow us to help you live longer and maybe even give you back your youth with your help of course. We would also like for you to assist us in healing the damage done to Neville's parents."

I waited while they processed what I had said it felt like it had been forever before Mr. Flamel and his wife started to full on cackle with laughter Mrs. Flamel was the first to calm down before she said, "Oh, this is just priceless that daft old goat of a youngster tried to kill us by destroying our stone so that he could get our journals and notes, only to be foiled by his own supposed puppet. Nicolas this is glorious we must join these lovely people, I would also like to see this med-bay you speak of I was a fully qualified healer back in the day although 300 years out of practice can do that to an witch." Mr. Flamel finally stopped chuckling when Mrs. Flamel was done talking and said, "Alright Perenelle we will do as you say I will have Puck pack all our things so that we can move here if that is agreeable to you Augusta." Gran Augusta just smiled and said, "Nothing would make me happier than to foil Dumbles plans to profit from your treasures I will have rooms cleared out so that you can make yourselves at home. I don't see us staying here for long anyway so by all means you are more than welcome." 

Things moved fast after the Flamel's moved in. We cleared up all there loose ends such as their various properties and all of the books, scrolls and items that they had gathered over there multi centuries long lives. The adults thought it would be better to shrink and place all of their things into easily movable trunks with the extendable stretching charm the one the Flamel's used was bigger than Newt Scamander's infamous suitcase or at least that is what Gran said it was crazy the amount of stuff that you could acquire in over 600 years. Dad packed all of the Black and Potter Items in a similar trunks he also got these cool property globes from Gringotts that allowed us to take our ancestral homes, shrink them down and place them inside they looked like cute snow globes. This insured that we would always have access to them if needed. The centuries of family magics that had seeped into the very walls of the house made them magical objects that we could justify leaving behind. We left Grans Cottage alone so we had a base here aside from the outpost and the gate inside my vault. Every other home each of us owned was packed and stored including their gardens and grounds inside it's own globe. 

After securing all our possessions Uncle Moony, Gran Perenelle and Grandpa Nicolas began to focus on de-aging and prolonging there lives before they could have enough time to help us with everything else that needed to be done. After weeks of research and running a sample of the philosopher stones elixir through the outposts lab, they were able to isolate and improve upon the already existing elixir that our ancestors used when they wanted to prolong their lives in search of ascension. Gran Perenelle and Grandpa Nicolas were all to eager to take the new elixir. After taking it tests showed a vast improvement to their cellular regeneration, they began to look and feel younger. Instead of looking like a couple in their 90's they were looking to be in their late 50's which was a huge improvement considering they were over 600. This led to a massive celebration and a renewed resolve to help Frank and Alice so that Neville had his parents back and I would finally get to meet my godmother. We were just days away from my 12th birthday when Gran Perenelle found the solution to help with Nev's parents. With hope filled hearts Gran Augusta pulled them from the long term care ward in St. Mungo's so that we could heal them. Gran Perenelle used a combination of the new elixir and a old spell found in the Black family collections to help regenerate the neural pathways in their minds and heal their bodies from the years of disuse. It worked they were pretty confused but they were also whole and alive which is more than we could ever hope for.
