-Nights' House-
"So Ethan, would you like to tell us why you got an invitation from the greatest alchemist in the wizarding world?" my mother, who was sitting on the couch across from me asked, looking at me with her arms crossed.
"And a better question is why you are guarding the Philosopher's Stone, which is probably among the most precious and important magical items in the wizarding world," my father said, also looking at me with his arms crossed.
After arriving home for Christmas and New Year's break, my parents immediately took me to the living room and started interrogating me, and meanwhile Cele is in the armchair looking at the whole scene.
"Well, it turns out they lost their Philosopher's Stone, and by incredible luck and coincidence I found it in one of Hogwarts' special rooms" I shrugged.
"Oh, and what room would that be?" my mom asked, bringing her face closer and looking at me like she didn't believe what I said.
"The Room of Requirement, but more specifically, the Room of Hidden Things," I said, having no problem telling my parents about the room.
"What room is this? I don't remember it being mentioned in any of the books about the castle" my mother asked.
"It's a secret room that only appears when someone really needs it, and the Room of Hidden Things is a room that holds all of Hogwarts' lost and found items" I said, "Probably the Flamels lost the stone at Hogwarts and the elves found it and kept it in the room."
As soon as I finished talking, my mom and dad started looking at me with narrowed eyes.
"So that means you're not involved in anything illegal, right?" my dad asked, and I felt my right eye twitch.
"Yes, I'm not involved in anything illegal," I said dryly, and my parents sighed in relief, "What the hell did you think I did to get the Philosopher's Stone?" I asked slowly.
My father and mother then looked at each other and then turned to me.
"Well, something that involved threats and bribes," my dad said, and I looked at him scandalized.
"How could you think your son would do something like that?!" I asked, placing my hand on my chest.
My father then started looking at me with a blank face.
"3rd Grade, Elementary School, Professor Robert" my dad said.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"You have a good point"
After that, I started explaining to my parents with a few little lies about how I was able to talk to the Flamels and also why we were invited to visit them.
Impressively what surprised my family the most was not the fact that I am in possession of an item that can give us infinite money and great longevity, or knowing that two of the most influential people in the wizarding world want to meet us. In fact, what impressed them the most was the fact that I talked to and even touched a phoenix.
It may not seem like it, but in addition to our love of studies, my parents and Cele also shared with me the same passion for magical and non-magical creatures, so knowing that I saw and even touched such an amazing creature as a phoenix was a big surprise for them.
And the surprises aren't over yet, as I haven't told them that Fawkes would be the one to bring Portkey to us.
After this conversation with my family, we all went to sleep, as tomorrow morning would be the day we would take Portkey to go to France.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Next morning-
"We're not going to have any problems entering France this way, right? I mean, we're kind of entering another country without informing said country, and that's illegal as far as I know," my mom said, knowing a lot about the law.
"Well... I think it might be illegal yes" my father said, checking his suitcase for the last time, "But I don't think there are many people who would go against the word of two wizards as important as Mister and Mistress Flamel. "
"In fact, I think this trip having the chance to be illegal just makes it all the more exciting," I said excitedly, earning two strange looks from my parents.
"But then... How are we going to get to France?" my father asked.
"Do you remember the forms of magical travel that Professor McGonagall told us about on our first trip to Diagon Alley? Soo, we're going to try another one of those methods of travel," I said, and I could see my father's face darken.
"Do we still have time to take a plane?" he asked.
"Well, I don't think so, since our messenger has arrived," I said, looking at our living room table.
"What messenger?" my dad asked, but instead of answering I just pointed at the table.
*Poof!*
And just as my father looked at me confused, a burst of red and gold flames shot through the air above the table, and out of those flames came Fawkes, who landed on the table while holding a letter and a large gold hoop.
Approaching Fawkes, I ran my hand over his head, and turning to my parents I saw them gaping at Fawkes.
"A fiery bird!" Cele exclaimed excitedly, jumping out of the armchair and running towards Fawkes, looking up at him with eyes gleaming excitedly.
Fawkes then looked into Cele's eyes, and after a while with the two of them staring at each other, Fawkes brought his head closer to Cele, who turned to me as if asking for permission.
I looked at Cele who was looking at me expectantly and nodded my head, and right after that Cele then started petting Fawkes.
"Is he... is he... is he what I think he is?" my mom asked pointing at Fawkes with a shaky finger.
"A pterodactyl? Yes it is," I replied sarcastically.
Pretending not to see the look my mother was giving me, I walked over to Fawkes and picked up the letter and hoop he was holding.
Opening the letter I started reading it, and in the end I saw that it was just an explanation of how Portkey was going to work and some other additional information.
"So we're just going to have to wait until 10 am?" my mom asked, taking the cage from Nyx, who was looking at Portkey angrily.
"Yes," I said, looking at the clock and seeing that it was 9:54 am.
"What about our bags? Are we going to have to hold them?" my father asked, seeing that we had a lot of bags.
"Hmm, why don't we put these bags in one of my suitcase compartments?" I asked, as my suitcase compartments were the size of a normal room.
"Hm, okay," my dad said with a shrug, and after that we busied ourselves with putting all the bags in my suitcase. I then shrunk my suitcase again and tied it to my chain, which I placed around my neck..
When we finished, the clock was already showing that it was 9:59.
Without wasting any more time, my family and I quickly placed our hand on the gold hoop, waiting for the Portkey activation time to arrive.
"Thanks Fawkes, there are some snacks on the table in my room for you" I said to the phoenix who was looking at my family.
Fawkes then looked at me and I winked at him, to which he nodded.
And without saying another word, the golden hoop in our hands began to glow, and a second later we felt a sensation of being squeezed and sucked in, and with one last turn we and Portkey disappeared, leaving only Fawkes in our living room.
Fawkes then took off and flew to my room, and there he saw several packages on my bed that said "For Lockhart" and without wasting time he grabbed one of those packages and Apparated on fire, planning to continue with the pranks like a good honorary Musketeer.
End.
