"A Joyful Place and the Movie"

I warn you that if you see me less active it's because my cell phone broke. And the worst thing is that my brother lent me one that he had extra and I broke it too. Hahaha, damn it. Well, I'm going to have to buy another one next week. Luckily I have the PC - even though I'm used to writing with the cell phone.

without further ado, here's the chapter.

"A Joyful Place and the Movie"

At this very moment, Harry Potter was facing a situation far more dangerous than when he discovered Voldemort in his "tumor version" at the end of the school year. Right now, he was hanging upside down 100 meters above the ground.

"Boss Stephen, get me down!" Harry shouted into his cellphone, which was connected to a call with Stephen and the twins, who were watching him from below.

"It's okay, Harry. Don't worry, even if you fall, you won't get hurt. We're already fixing the roller coaster malfunction," Stephen said, trying to calm him.

It all started when the twins arrived at the Flamel house with Nicolas and Stephen and took Harry through a portal. This portal connected to an island near the Flamel residence, where a magical amusement park was located.

The park was the pinnacle of magical engineering and alchemy, the first-ever magical amusement park in the world. It was an idea Stephen had come up with when he was 12, but he had only recently been able to bring it to life, now that he had mastered MCU enchantments and alchemy with confidence. With Flamel's help, they began constructing the park.

This park was the first investment that openly carried the Flamel name, something that filled Stephen with pride. So much so that he encouraged Harry to try one of the roller coasters they had just finished.

"You said it was safe and ready!" Harry shouted, feeling the blood rushing to his head.

"Technically, it's finished... but we hadn't tested it yet because we got distracted with the haunted houses," Stephen responded, glancing sideways. There wasn't just one haunted house but four, which was quite a lot for a typical park. But thanks to magic, they could fit more attractions onto a small island without any issues.

"Alright, Harry, I found the problem. One of the twins had turned off the circuit, haha!" Stephen commented, realizing that the ride had simply been powered off, while the twins rolled on the ground laughing.

"What?! Then turn it back on!" Harry shouted, now annoyed.

After Stephen reactivated the ride and the roller coaster completed its course, Harry got off feeling nauseous but managed to hold it in. At that moment, Misty appeared and handed him a glass of water.

"Thanks, Misty," Harry said, drinking the water in one gulp.

"Well, that means it works correctly. Perfect!" Stephen said proudly, while Harry glared at him with contained hatred but held back his insults.

"Do you like my amusement park, Harry? Pretty different from the Muggle ones, right?" Stephen asked with a big smile.

"I don't know, I've never been to one. I only heard my cousin brag about visiting one with my aunt and uncle," Harry replied, shrugging.

Cough... "Well, Harry, you can try all the rides while we're here," Stephen said, feeling a little awkward after remembering Harry's rough childhood, which was evident in his response.

"Alright, but I think I'll rest a bit after that roller coaster. By the way, how do you keep Muggles from noticing an island with flying rides or roller coasters that reach the sky?" Harry asked, looking at the magical attractions around him.

There were rides floating in the air, enormous roller coasters, a small train that circled the entire park, and many more attractions, all clearly magical. Even the park entrance had massive doors glowing with runes, and in the center, a huge fountain created a beautiful rainbow. Without a doubt, it was a dream amusement park.

"Illusions, Harry. See those runes on the park's entrance? Every few meters around the island, there are poles with similar inscriptions that hide everything happening here, even the body heat of the people inside. Plus, the giant rings above us surround the island and prevent harmful magic from being used. I wouldn't be surprised if this island is even safer than a Fidelius Charm," Stephen explained proudly.

"Fidelius Charm? What's that?" Harry asked, curious.

"It's the most powerful concealment and protection charm in the wizarding world. When cast on a house, only one person knows its location, and unless that person tells you, it's impossible to find—even if you're standing right in front of it," Stephen explained quickly.

"I see," Harry said, thinking about something but not adding anything else.

"Boss! Harry! Do you want to come to the movies? We're going to watch the new Dragon Rider 2 movie!" the twins shouted as they approached.

With the technological advances of Magitech and after many negotiations with the Ministry, they had managed to prove that their company's movies and theaters were entirely magical, finally allowing them to open a few in the wizarding world. Of course, Stephen's island wouldn't be without one, since here, he didn't have to pay taxes or rent like in Diagon Alley.

"Dragon Rider? Wait, there's a movie theater here?" Harry asked, surprised.

"Sure. Dragon Rider tells the story of a wizard who was raised by a dragon and must help the dragons save the magical world with the help of magical creatures," the twins said excitedly.

"They're excited because they appear for a few minutes in the movie as villains who get eaten by a dragon," Stephen commented mockingly.

"Boss Stephen, that's a spoiler!" "You can't just go around telling the story; you'll get censored!" the twins complained.

"You guys acted in a movie?" Harry asked, surprised.

"Yeah, we have connections." "We know the 'boss,'" the twins said with a knowing smile, looking at Stephen.

"Even Ginny, your younger sister, played the protagonist's lost sister," Stephen added, leaving Harry even more surprised as they headed to the cinema.

"Charlie was in it too." "Yeah, he played an evil dragon tamer," the twins commented enthusiastically.

"Charlie helped tame dragons?" Harry asked, remembering that Charlie worked with dragons in Romania.

"No. Charlie was an advisor on dragon behavior since they were created with magic," Stephen explained.

"I see. And how do you know so much about the production, Boss Stephen? Do you also know the 'boss'?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, something like that. Come on, let's grab some popcorn and go in before the twins get even more out of control," Stephen said, hurrying as he watched the twins piling up sweets at the counter.

"Hello, boys. Coming to watch a movie?" asked Nicolas, who was accompanied by his wife, Perenelle.

"Hello, Grandpa, Grandma. Are you going to see another magical creatures documentary?" Stephen asked, since the couple had become fans of those documentaries.

The documentaries were filmed with the help of the Scamander family. Although Newt was already retired, his children and grandchildren continued protecting magical creatures around the world. Stephen had taken the opportunity to hire them and record their adventures, helping educate the magical world about these creatures.

"Hehe, of course, kid. Newt told us that his little grandson appears in this one, so we're curious to see it," Nicolas said with a smile.

"Alright, enjoy your movie. We won't bother you," added Perenelle, guiding Nicolas into the theater.

"It's weird that they like watching movies here when we have a much more comfortable theater at home," Stephen said, watching the cheerful elderly couple enter their screening room.

"You have a movie theater in your house?" Harry asked, astonished.

"My grandfather bought the island, Harry. Of course, he could have a movie theater. You're very curious today," Stephen joked.

"Sorry, it's just that everything is so new to me," Harry said, a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, Harry. Boss Stephen is the weird one." "Yeah, normally wizards don't have two islands at their disposal," the twins said in a complaining tone, recalling their first visit.

"Well, my grandfather has quite a bit of money. Not only is he the greatest alchemist of all time, but he's also lived for about 700 years," Stephen explained, remembering his first visit to the Gringotts vault as a child.

After all, many books and alchemical methods were created by Nicolas Flamel, and to this day, he still received royalties. Nicolas and Perenelle had been frugal until Stephen came along, but even so, it would take several generations to spend all their fortune—especially now that Stephen had his own company, which was a gold mine. And with the amusement park opening soon, they would have even more income.

Finally, after filling their pockets with sweets, they headed in to watch the movie. For Harry, it was the first magical movie he had ever seen, and the use of magic made production much easier.

The lead actor was Richard, a childhood friend of Stephen, who had proven his worth as an actor from the start. With the first movie, he became internationally famous in the wizarding world.

The plot revolved around Richard's character, who had to rescue dragons trapped by dark wizards. In a world ruled by a tyrant where few had access to their wands, he and magical creatures freed villages and searched for his lost family along the way. Ginny played the protagonist's younger sister, and Charlie portrayed a villain who later redeemed himself. The twins, for their part, insisted on being eaten by a dragon, and so it was done. During that scene, they started congratulating each other loudly, causing Stephen to smack them to get them to calm down.

At the end of the movie, after an intense battle with elaborate choreography, they defeated the tyrant, who turned out to be a beautiful platinum blonde with a wicked smile—Fleur Delacour. She had agreed to take the role only if Stephen played her servant, and in the movie, he was a butler who was quickly defeated.

"Wow, amazing! We want another one!" "The twin villains stole the show!" the twins shouted as the movie ended.

"It was awesome! This is the first time I've seen a movie so full of magic (literally)," Harry said excitedly.

"I didn't know Boss Stephen would be in it too, but he got defeated so easily. And the villain was so beautiful," Harry added, laughing.

"Haha, the boss had to be a butler to convince Fleur to be the villain." "Even on set, she made him serve her—it was hilarious!" the twins teased.

"I only did it because the director wanted Fleur for the role, and she was perfect," Stephen explained.

The director was another childhood friend of Stephen, Ricky, who turned out to be a genius in this field. The most successful movies were all directed by him. Even Isabel, another friend, was an actress, though she specialized in action films.

"Alright, let's go back. We have to wait for Fleur and then head to the Ministry," Stephen said, checking the time and realizing they had spent almost the whole day having fun. He had to meet Mad-Eye.

"Fleur, the actress, is coming with us?" Harry asked, excited at the thought of meeting someone famous.

"Fleur isn't an actress… or at least I don't know if she'll do more movies," Stephen replied as they walked.

"Unless the boss asks her to." "Or if the boss keeps being her servant." "Or maybe she'll force him to star in a romance movie." "Like her husband!" the twins said in unison, laughing hysterically.

"Enough, idiots. Hurry up, you don't want to keep her waiting. Last time, you ended up begging for mercy because of one of your pranks," Stephen reminded them, referring to the time Fleur had punished them for a heavy prank.

"Come on, Harry, run!" the twins shouted, grabbing his arms and dragging him along as they ran.
