Chapter 73: Time with family

When Asen mentioned Grindwald his expression turned grim, " Grandfather Asen you're familiar with his sign ?" Edwin asked knowing that there is more to it.

" Yes, anyone who attended Durmstrang knows of that mark, Grindelwald himself engraved it onto the wall of the castle " Asen replied softly " But that m ark means more to our family, after all, we followed him and it cost us dearly "

Edwin could tell that his grandfather wasn't finished with his story and stayed quite " after that war we lost more than half of our family and with the second battle the rest followed with it we even lost Yasen... our family have become small "

" But didn't Uncle Yasen died after you who know who, " Edwin asked as he collects another rune book from Asen " and most of the death-eater stopped with him gone and only a few looked for revenge "

" Oh "Asen replied and then continue " Well yes, but a few still sought for revenge and it cost us Yasen and your father still blames himself for Yasen's death even though it wasn't his fault "

After telling Edwin a part of his family history Asen left Edwin to his books but reminded him not to get carried away but his reminder didn't help much as the new runes sparked Edwin's enthusiasm getting raid of his laziness that plagued him from the start of the summer.

The rune books showed Edwin they ways rune had been used to attack and defend, for runes to be used for attacks runes must be carved into an object or a person's skin and for defensive runes would be commonly used to protect a person's home.

Once again the only fault with runes is that if a single rune was damaged in an attack then the enchantment would either disappear or weaken.

" Runes can be used for so much more, " Edwin thought to himself as he saw pictures of people covered in rune tattoos.

Edwin got lost in the books until Nob was sent to remind him of lunch, " Lunch is being held in the garden Master Edwin " Nob said snapping get out of his trance.

" Thank's Nob... lead the way " Edwin stated as he put the books back and followed Nob to the garden where everyone was already there sitting under the pure white shed that didn't have walls and the was partly taken over by moss and vines.

Surrounding the head are beautiful magic flowers and plants there is also a small pond not too far from the garden " this place is amazing " Edwin said as he took a seat under the shed.

" Thank you," Elena said with a faint smile on her face.

" Elena always loved plants " Ivan stated as he pointed to the blood-red flower that looks similar to a lotus " she created those "

" They're beautiful " Yasbel stated looking at the flower.

After lunch Elena showed everyone the garden that she created, the garden hosted various different types of plants but there were mostly flowers in the garden and only a handful could be used in potions.

When everyone finished exploring the garden they headed to the city to show Edwin and Yasbel both the muggle and the wizarding world of Bulgaria, It didn't take long to reach the city and with the sites close by Yasbel took pictures of everyone together.

From the Stone forest to the Sea Garden, the Vaclav visited them throughout the weeks the last destination before they can see the Wizarding side of the Varna was the Wonderful Rocks, with the help of magic they climb and took out pictures of the rock formation.

" Now for the Wizarding side," Ivan said with great excitement " it's best to go at night "

Ivan and Elena lead everyone to a wall at the side of a bar where Elena tapped the wall with her wand slipped out to the other side " Welcome to the Bazaar of Varna "

The bazaar had small shops around on both sides selling various items from potions to pets there were even persons showing of their magic to the onlookers " Sofia magic shopping district is way larger than this " Ivan mutter loud enough for everyone to hear.

" Are we going to see the magic show? " Wendy asked Ivan

" There aren't any at this time " Elena answer knowing that Ivan didn't know if anything changed.

"Magic show what that " Yasbel asked as she looked at the kittens on the road.

" It's the circus of the magic world where professional show off beautiful magic... the one in Russia is especially wonderful " Ivan stated

" The magic show was our first date here in Varna " Wendy stated as she held Ivan's hands

" So there is more to the wizarding world " Edwin mutter remembering that he only knows a bit about the united kingdom.

" Yes, there is " Ivan quickly replied leading everyone to a wand shop " almost every country does something different, take Egypt, for example, it's known for its many wizard bazaar and lost treasures "

When inside the wand shop Yasbel spoke up and said " Dad since you were Onyx could we get another cat "

As Ivan heard that Edwin could have sown that Ivan's eyes lighted up " Of course honey buy whatever kind you want " Ivan said with a huge smile on his face.

" I'll take you to a good shop," Elena said as she walked out of the shop with Edwin and Yasbel following her,

Elena took the two to a pet store that sells cats as she walked in the owner greeted her " What can I get you, Ms. Elena "

" We want a cat " Elena stated as she took out a twenty-five Galleons and placed it on the counter the man simply nodded his head opening the back room, Edwin knew what was going on and kept quiet.

" There are the very best especially for love ones, " The man said looking back before opening a secret door " please let them choose "

" They are pure-blooded kneazle, " The man said showing them a room full of rather large cats in changes. " or you want something more "

" No it's alright " Elena stated as she gave Yasbel a push " let them choose "

Yasbel walked around near the cages and she saw a Kneazle that has gray fur with rather large ears and tail the cat kept staring at yasbel before going by the change and meowing.

" that's the one " The man quickly replied and lose the gray cat " I'll get the paperwork done "

" what will you name him ?" Edwin asked but was responded a meow that sounded like a disagreement from the gray cat " What will you name her ?" Edwin said again but this time there wasn't a meow.

" How about rain, " Wendy asked the cat and she happily accepted it

" Why did you give the man so much money ?" Edwin asked Elena

" for the paperwork " Elena Stated " it would take long going through the ministry "

When the man came back he handed Yasbel a paper showing that the ministry agreed to let her have a kneazle, they then later met up with Ivan and Wendy who were holding hand as they looked at the enchanted fireworks that wouldn't end.
