Sorcerer Supreme at Hogwarts (English Versión)

Chapter 56: "New Member of the Flamel Family."



"New Member of the Flamel Family."

"So, what happened?" Stephen asked as he approached Harry and saw Misty applying medicine to his ankle.

"I... I'm sorry," Harry said, embarrassed.

"Sigh. You're usually braver at Hogwarts," Stephen said, observing Harry, who looked guilty.

"Young master, it was that Muggle's fault," Misty said, pointing at the obese woman hiding under the table.

"When the mistress and I arrived, her pet was biting little Harry while she mocked his parents," Misty explained seriously.

"Did you leave your wand at the mansion before coming?" Stephen asked Harry.

"Yes, just like you told me. Why?" Harry responded, confused.

"We don't want the Ministry bothering you or expelling you from Hogwarts."

"What?"

"I'll explain later," Stephen said as he approached his grandmother, who was furious, while his grandfather tried to calm her down.

"Perenelle, my dear wife, if you stay angry, it will harm you. Please, calm down," Nicolas said, trying to soothe his wife.

Before Stephen could say anything, several noises were heard outside—the sounds of Apparition.

Since the door had been left open, the newcomers quickly entered the house.

The first to step in was Kingsley Shacklebolt. Upon entering the Dursleys' house and seeing Stephen, he relaxed and approached him.

Behind him came more people: Dumbledore, a woman, the Minister, and several Aurors. Before they could say a word, Perenelle, seeing Dumbledore enter, spoke furiously and without hesitation.

"Dumbledore, how could you let Harry Potter be abused by Muggles who despise magic?" Each word she spoke made her anger rise, intimidating everyone present.

"Lady Perenelle, you can trust that when I left young Potter at his relatives' home, there was also someone watching over and protecting him. I never received any reports of abuse. Perhaps this is a misunderstanding," Dumbledore said, trying to calm the enraged witch.

"Where is that person?" she asked, growing even angrier upon learning that someone had been watching and did nothing.

"I-I am," said the woman who had entered with Dumbledore timidly.

"Mrs. Figg!" Harry exclaimed in surprise.

"You know her, Harry?"

"Yes, Mrs. Figg used to look after me when my relatives left on trips. She also fed me when they wouldn't let me eat," Harry said, lowering his voice at the last part. But Perenelle heard it and began treating Mrs. Figg better.

"You never reported that Harry was being mistreated at home?" Perenelle asked Mrs. Figg seriously.

"T-they never went too far, so I thought he would be fine. Besides, once he grew up, he probably wouldn't see that family again," Mrs. Figg replied.

"Did you not consider that psychological abuse can leave lasting scars on young children as they grow?" Perenelle said angrily.

Hearing that, Mrs. Figg had no response. She wasn't a doctor, and as a Squib, she had endured much mistreatment in the magical world, especially from her own family. Perhaps that was why she didn't see Harry's mistreatment as unusual and simply supported him from the sidelines.

"Psychological issues among wizards are serious, especially for a young wizard still developing. How do you think Obscurials are formed?" Perenelle said, startling the others.

"Obscurials went extinct centuries ago," Minister Fudge quickly stated.

"No. The former Dark Lord, Grindelwald, had an Obscurial among his followers—one so powerful it nearly helped him win the war," Stephen responded, glancing at Dumbledore, who tried to maintain a neutral expression.

"Very well. Young Potter will not become an Obscurial. We should handle this delicately," Dumbledore said, steering the conversation away.

"I don't care. Harry will come live with us," Perenelle declared, gesturing to her family to prepare to leave.

"Mrs. Flamel, I understand that you've grown fond of young Potter, but you can't just take a minor like this," Fudge said, trying to prevent Harry from leaving with the Flamels.

"And who's going to stop me? You?" Perenelle asked, exuding an aura of power as the house began to creak once more.

"I-I, as Minister of Magic, must prevent the abduction of a minor—especially The Boy Who Lived!" Fudge blurted out, emboldening himself while hiding behind Dumbledore and the Aurors.

Upon hearing that, Perenelle turned her gaze to Stephen.

"Sigh. Vernon Dursley, Petunia Dursley, and... Marge Dursley are under arrest for the emotional abuse of a growing young wizard," Stephen declared, gesturing to Kingsley and the Aurors who had arrived with him.

Kingsley, unsure of what to do, looked at Dumbledore, who nodded for him to proceed. With that, Kingsley and the Aurors shackled the Dursleys' hands.

"On what grounds are you giving that order?" Fudge intervened, trying to make things difficult for Stephen.

"The International Confederation of Wizards established a law for the prevention of Obscurials, which all Ministries of Magic must abide by. But as Minister, you should already know that, shouldn't you?" Stephen said mockingly as he walked past Fudge, who scowled in frustration but had no response.

"You can't do this! We're not part of your world!"

"Don't take me away from my poor Dudley!" Petunia screamed, clinging to her son.

"Monsters, stay away!" Marge yelled from under the table as her dog barked furiously.

"Unfortunately, when a crime is committed against a wizard, we can intervene, and your government is well aware of that," Stephen said, mocking Vernon, who was now screaming in desperation. Then, he let the Aurors take over.

"The children under their care will be sent to a hospital for physical and psychological evaluations. After that, they will be placed in orphanages if no direct relatives can take them in," one of the Aurors stated.

"I have another sister. Send Dudley to her," Vernon responded bitterly, knowing he couldn't escape. But he said nothing about Harry, earning the scorn of everyone present.

"Harry Potter will be adopted by my family," Perenelle declared, glaring at Vernon before turning to Harry, who looked at her with surprise and a hint of excitement.

"Is that alright, Harry? Would you like to come with us?" Perenelle asked gently, while Stephen handed her a pendant to the side.

"Yes!" Harry answered quickly, fearing she might change her mind.

"Wonderful!" Perenelle said happily as she put on the pendant. Under everyone's astonished gaze, she began to grow younger.

"So that's why that girl called you 'brother'," Stephen murmured almost inaudibly. He suddenly felt a gaze on him and turned to see Dumbledore watching him with an intrigued smile.

"So that's why you had no objections, old man," Stephen said to the grinning Dumbledore.

"I have no idea what you could be referring to, Mr. Flamel," Dumbledore replied calmly.

Stephen followed his family and, in passing, noticed the dark expression on Minister Fudge's face. The man glared at him as if he were his worst enemy.

Everyone gathered around the nearly forgotten Nicolas Flamel. No one recognized him now that he was young again, which Nicolas didn't mind—he had no interest in being chased everywhere.

"Let's take little Harry to the hospital for a check-up first, and then we'll handle the adoption paperwork," Perenelle told her family.

"There's no need to go to the hospital," Harry said, slightly worried but far more interested in the adoption part.

"Too bad. Even though they gave you the important vaccines at school, Grandma takes magical illnesses very seriously, so they're definitely going to poke your backside," Stephen teased, earning a reproachful look from his grandmother.

"A full check-up never hurts, Harry. After that, we'll take care of the paperwork. It won't take long, don't worry," Nicolas reassured him.

After a few more words, Misty transported them all to St. Mungo's.

Upon arriving at St. Mungo's, Harry looked around in awe, never having been in a magical hospital before.

"It all looks just like Hogwarts," Harry thought as he followed the Flamel family through the corridors.

"Welcome to St. Mungo's," a Healer greeted as she saw them enter. But upon recognizing the Flamels, she was left speechless, which Perenelle took advantage of to head straight to the examination rooms.

"Hello, Healer. We're here for a full medical check-up for Harry Potter. Here are the documents," Nicolas said kindly, handing over a parchment.

"H-Harry Potter?" the Healer finally reacted, looking at Harry in astonishment before reading the documents.

"Yes, of course. Please, follow me!" she said quickly, leading them to a private room.

"It'll be quick, Harry. Just a few tests," Stephen said as the Healer prepared the equipment.

Though Harry felt nervous, the warmth of the Flamel family reassured him.

After hours of tests, analyses, and diagnostic spells, the Healer finally returned with a smile.

"Everything is fine. Young Potter is in perfect health. He just needs better nutrition and a few vaccinations," the Healer said, looking at Harry sympathetically.

"Thank Merlin!" Perenelle said, hugging Harry.

"Alright, that was the last step. Now we can proceed with the adoption paperwork," Nicolas said, smiling at Harry.

When they arrived at the mansion, Harry seemed restless. Stephen, noticing it, approached him with a reassuring smile.

"Adoption in the magical world requires someone from the Ministry to come to the house as a witness. And on the Muggle side, Misty has already taken care of everything," Stephen explained, guessing the reason for Harry's discomfort.

"I see… though that's not what I was worried about," Harry quickly replied, slightly embarrassed, as Perenelle watched him with fondness.

"I hope the Minister doesn't send someone annoying," Nicolas commented casually.

"Don't worry, I asked Amelia Bones to help us—along with a few friends," Stephen replied as his magical phone rang. "That must be them. I'll go greet them," he said, walking toward the island's transportation area.

A few seconds later, Stephen returned, followed by Amelia Bones, Arthur Weasley, and Kingsley Shacklebolt, who would serve as the three required witnesses.

"Hello, Mrs. Flamel. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Amelia Bones, your grandson's superior. I've heard many stories about the Flamel couple—it's an honor," Amelia said with a smile, shaking Perenelle's hand.

"They're just old stories. Thank you for coming, Amelia," Perenelle replied with a smile.

"Mr. Nicolas, it's an honor. I'm a big fan of alchemy—I've even created some interesting objects using Muggle artifacts," Arthur said, clearly excited to see the legendary alchemist.

"Haha, yes, I heard about the flying car. A fascinating mechanism," Nicolas replied with a grin.

"Though it also got him into trouble," Kingsley added, greeting everyone with a knowing smile.

"Well, let's get the adoption contract done quickly, and then we can chat," Stephen said, clearly having other matters to attend to.

Everyone got to work, swiftly completing the necessary paperwork to finalize the adoption.

Harry watched the scene from the side, happy but mostly quiet. Meanwhile, Stephen thought to himself: No wonder Harry agreed to leave with his godfather so easily, even after meeting him right out of prison. He didn't even take a full day to decide.

Suddenly, Stephen remembered something and exclaimed aloud, "Right! The godfather!" earning curious looks from everyone present.

"Sorry, I was just thinking of something. Amelia, when you're done, I need to talk to you about a work-related matter," Stephen said, noticing they were about to wrap up.

"Understood," Amelia replied, signing the final document as the Ministry's witness. Then, with a smile, she turned to the Flamel couple and Harry.

"Now, Mr. Harry Potter is officially and legally a member of the Flamel family. Congratulations!" Amelia announced, congratulating the family with a broad smile.
