Chapter 9 - Potter3

Book 1 Chapter 9 - Granger Family! 21. 7. 1989: After Hadrian prepared lunch for his relatives, he did not head straight into the forest, as he used to do every afternoon. He headed for the nearest DIY store, where he bought screws of various sizes, several boxes of different nails and two cans of colorless wood varnish. The saleswoman behind the counter looked at him strangely, but he didn't do anything about it, he just said he was sent by his uncle, who was buying something a few shops away. The purchase was not easy, so Hadrian disappeared into a dead end between the houses at the first opportunity, putting everything in his inventory and quickly went home without waiting for new furniture. The old one had no problem bringing to his camp, the cave was almost completely empty. "What are you doing at home? Normally you disappear after lunch and you will only appear after dinner, "Aunt Petunia said, noticing him." I forgot something in the room, so I returned, "he lied promptly. "Vernon will come from work earlier today, you have a maximum of half an hour," she warned, and Hadrian nodded that he understood. When he left the house twenty minutes later, he had all the new furniture in his room while the old one was taking away his room. There she discovered very rarely. As soon as he arrived at the campsite, he checked that there was no Tamara anywhere and placed old furniture in the cave. He also pulled a lot of beams, planks and boards from the inventory, adding boxes of nails and screws. But he was going to wait for Tamara to distract her attention from everything that would seem strange in the campsite. "Hadriane? Are you here?" There was a call, and he climbed out of the cave to see Tamara over him, carrying a plastic bucket, and, depending on her blue hands and lips, he concluded that there were blueberries in him. "I had no idea you were going to show up today?" He waved at her, and Tamara left a full bucket over the abyss before she quickly climbed down. "My father went to visit my cousin Hermione and her parents today." I hope he doesn't mind? " She explained now, and Hadrian frowned slightly. Forest fruit was no longer so important to him, he had enough money to survive for some time. If he ran out again, he had no problem painting a few more paintings and then selling them. Charles King would certainly buy them from him and had contact with several other people in the inventory who had the same intentions as Charles. "We are just the two of us in our territory, so we can say that half is yours. The original purpose is to collect everything and sell it later, but if you don't care about the money and you prefer to take away the fruit itself, I have no problem with it, "Hadrian replied." Great. I'll try to persuade my father to take me again tomorrow and take two buckets. " "What are you going to do with so many liters of blueberries?" Hadrian didn't understand. "Buy them to our neighbors who have recently complained about the big prices of poor quality blueberries in a local store. I won't have a problem selling one liter for six or seven pounds," she explained. "I hope you're ready for a little harder work. I got enough material and I want to build a simple fencing around the abyss, "he announced, and Tamara rolled up non-existent sleeves to make it clear that she was ready. Luckily, he thought ahead and bought a larger mallet, because he would hardly hammer them into the ground with a small hammer. He pulled everything on the wooden platform over the abyss, where Tamara gradually folded it side by side. "Do you think you can drive these beams into the ground? It is the same stone, "she doubted his actions as she looked more closely at the edge of the abyss." It doesn't have to be right on the edge, just put them a meter from the edge, "he replied, pointing to the place where he stuck the first post and killed him with a few wells. He tried to nod with the column to see if he was holding firmly, but he was still moving, so he gave him a few more shots before finally satisfied with the way he held the ground. "Try to find other such places, about three meters away, and always leave one beam there. Meanwhile, I'm going to hammer them into the ground, "he told her, and Tamara went to work. Hadrian managed to drive two more beams into the ground before he hit the hidden stone at the third, and his hands trembled as he put some of the energy he put into the blow. It took them just over two hours to get all the beams he had prepared before they were finished." What now? " Tamara asked, staring in astonishment at the edge of the wooden beams that encircled the entire abyss. "Now I pull a few planks out of the cave and we will gradually shorten them and knock them to the top of the beams. Originally I thought I'd attach them from the side, but we are afraid that I would just scold them out of their place, "he announced, lowering himself into the abyss, where he pulled only three planks, just like a wood saw. He first cut the planks next to each other. On each side before he asked Tamara to hold the plank in place and he eventually pulled it from the top to the pillars. It wasn't too perfect, but it did its purpose." Will we finish the rest? " Tamara asked him when they had three planks attached and the rest of the border was still waiting for completion. "I probably do, but your father has come for you," Hadrian replied, pointing among the trees from where Paul Granger came to them. "Dad, you found us!" Tamara shouted enthusiastically and immediately ran to hug him. "Tamara, Hadriane," he greeted them both and came to the abyss, which he looked with surprise on his face. "When Tamara told me you had a camp in the abyss, I thought I could see that I was rather underestimated," Paul said, looking around. "Dad, will you help us? Hadrian wants to make this railing around the abyss so that someone doesn't fall into it, "she asked her father, who was going to refuse, but a single glance from Tamara convinced him the opposite." Okay, I'll help you finish this railing. But you spend the weekend at home. "He told them his condition, and Tamara pursed her lips as she refused to accept his criticism. "I'm afraid I will be able to come after lunch, my relatives wouldn't let me go," Hadrian admitted right away. "It doesn't matter. Tamara will have at least enough time to clean up in the room if he wants to show you. I will have time to clean our pool and prepare the grill. "Daddy!" Tamara stumbled angrily as he mentioned the mess in her room before Hadrian. "What? Every day I remind you to clean up there. You know your uncle Dan with Aunt Paulina and cousin Hermione will come to us," Tamara's father said. "I will jump for other planks," Hadrian said, rather not intending to mix into their family relationships, he knew best that his own family was very far from the meaning of the word. With Paul's help, the railing went very fast and had it all the three of them. Paula wondered where Hadrian got such quality wood. Hadrian is not quite normal and certainly hides considerable secrets. He has the same gift as Hermione. Dan refused to believe it, but the stories of our great-grandfather are real. His gift is not as strong as mine, but he cannot be as blind and ignore his daughter. Hadrian is a year younger than Hermione. "Look what I collected today. When I sell all this to our neighbors, I will certainly earn at least sixty pounds," Tamara boasted as she brought a bucket of blueberries to her father. "I'm sure you won't mind if half of your earnings go to gas, right? After all, someone has to bring you here, "Paul smiled, and Tamara was about to protest, but a single glance at her father's face was enough to close her mouth quickly and nodded obediently." Thank you for your help, Mr. Granger. Without your help, I would have spent the whole weekend without it, "Hadrian thanked him. A maximum of two or three hours longer. "No problem. Now apologize to Tamara, we have to go on the road. I hope to see you at home after one afternoon, "Paul said, pulling out a business card from Hadrian soon," I will, "Hadrian agreed, and watched with a slight smile Tamara gave her father a heavy bucket and stepped in the direction Paul Granger had come a few hours ago. "Time to go hunting spiders. I have a bigger level and get less exps, but now it's the only way to move forward, "Hadrian said to himself, heading to the spider dungeon. He visited the spider dungeon three times before he killed thirteen young acromantulas and two protectors of the lair, but he wanted to avoid it. He had already fought with them, tried his luck, and the risk paid off in total. Not only did he take four kinds of unnecessary things from there, he won a thousand eight hundred and eighty expos, which was more than half of what he had so far. He also got a total of one hundred and thirteen gold coins, they were also useless. OOOOOOOOO July 22, 1989: As promised yesterday, Saturday afternoon Hadrian got on a bus heading to where Tamara lived. The bus was just right in time, because he was washing the last plate of his relatives' lunch five minutes later. He couldn't even look around when Tamara jumped in front of him with a broad smile on her face. "I knew you would come with this bus, but my father didn't believe me and said you wouldn't be an hour later. Hey! Now she owes me a cheese pizza! "She said, and he had to check that he wouldn't surprise two steps in the way." Please don't be afraid of me next time, I wouldn't like to end up under the wheels of a car, "he said as soon as he regained his inner balance. "Oh, sorry. Now come on, I want to say to my father that he was wrong and I didn't! "She said before she grabbed his hand and literally pulled him to their home. As the bus entered the street where he was currently, Hadrian noticed large family houses and even larger gardens. He also noticed at least one luxury car. Uncle Vernon, as he cursed such people, but envied them himself. He already wanted to move to such a neighborhood, but Aunt Petunia ticked him for clear financial reasons, although she had a lot of other reasons." Here, "Tamara told him and entered a four code code at the goal. "Wow," Hadrian breathed as he saw a large house in front of which stood two cars and saw a road bike in an open garage. "Daddy has two cars, one working and the other is ours. The motorcycle was my mother. She explained to him, and he immediately noticed how her radiant mood faded very quickly when she mentioned her mother. "What happened? "My wife, Sarah Julie was murdered in a gas station forcibly, where she stopped to refill the tank," Tamara didn't even want to hear about it. " "As soon as I am old enough, I will make a driver's license and continue her dream and order our entire planet on this bike!" Tamara said with a clear zeal in her voice, with both hands clenched. "You will see it, young lady. Now, run Hadrian's house, I will wait at the garden." He led Hadrian to the house, where she gave him a detailed inspection and did not miss a single room. Eventually she led him to her room, which was at least five times larger than his Dursleys. He didn't know what to expect from the girl's room, but he was quite surprised. The walls of her room were largely red, orange and yellow in color, more precisely covered with flame paintings, over which two dragons and one phoenix flew. "I love fantasy stories and everything associated with dragons and phoenix. My mom and I painted all this for a month, "she told him, sitting on her bed. When she mentioned the fantasy stories, Hadrian glared at the bookshelves that were really countless. He guessed she had more than two hundred different books." Did you read all this? " He asked, and he didn't want to believe she would be able to. "Not all, just the ones on the top shelves. Gradually, I get down and everyone in the family knows they are supposed to buy me more fantasy books, so I can barely read a few, twice as many, "she replied with a smile." I see that I will never have to go to the library again and borrow some books from you, huh? " He said, and he was intrigued by several titles. "At least I will know what to buy for your birthday," he added. "So you're out of luck, nine I was already at the beginning of the month, but I wouldn't mind getting one extra gift for Christmas," she said right away. "I understand, two books for Tamara for Christmas," Hadrian said quite seriously, making him write it down with an invisible pen on his palm. "Hey!" She shouted him playfully. "If you know when I have a birthday, you could tell me yours, wouldn't you?" She urged him. "I will be nine at the end of the month, so you are only twenty-eight days older," Hadrian replied, looking at her desk where she had several textbooks, stationery and some painted papers. "Don't even look at it!" She jumped out of bed quickly and shoved all the papers into the drawer under the table at lightning speed. "Why?" Hadrian didn't understand and was all the more curious. "I saw the image you gave to the Dog Masters. If you saw my doodles, you would just laugh at me, "Tamara protested." I promise that whatever you drew, I won't laugh at you. But if you don't want to show me, it doesn't matter, "Hadrian said. "Hmm, I don't believe a word. Hermione also promised not to laugh at me and eventually laughed at me and called my drawings for stupid nonsense, "she didn't believe, and Hadrian just held out his hand." I swear I won't laugh. If I break my oath, all this year's sales from our territory are yours, "he said. "Okay, but dare to laugh at me!" She warned him, hesitatingly handed him five painted papers. Hadrian took them and turned to look at her drawings. She opened her mouth slightly by surprise at the small figures with their heads the size of their entire body, where one would condemn it for imperfection. He was a white beard warrior and fought a character with a tiger head. He quickly looked at other papers and was surprised to find his portrait with a sword in one hand and a bow on his back. In this drawing he fought five characters with the heads of the pig, Rat, Hyenas, Skunk and Rooster. " He said when he realized who the five represented. "C-What?" Tamara didn't understand, because she didn't expect this reaction. "I say this is perfect. Someone can say this is all nonsense, but I like it. If you added a few frames, some funny text and background, it would replace those boring drawings in newspapers." "You don't think it's nonsense?" She assured herself. "I mean it," he assured her. "Tamara! Hadrian! The first meat is ready, so come and take it! "Said Mr. Granger from the garden, and at the same time Tamara jumped to Hadrian, who was embraced by all her strength and kissed him on the cheek before the whole red ran to the garden. He could also see his hair playing in different colors from pink to purple. He quickly returned their original black color before Tamara put the drawings on the table and went freely in the same direction she had escaped a little while ago. OOOOOOOO 23. 7. 1989: Hadrian returned to Paul Granger's house. When he returned home last night, he got inspiration and immediately began painting his latest painting and ended up with him sometime after midnight." Hadrian, I didn't expect you to arrive today, after all, the weather was not pleasant at all, "Mr. Granger greeted him. "I don't mind any storm and I would be bored at home anyway," Hadrian replied, knocking an umbrella in the door from as much water as possible before putting it in the places Mr. Granger showed him. "What are you?" Paul was interested when he noticed the wrapped thing Hadrian had under his arm. "A belated gift for Tamara's birthday. Although one might say it's both of you, "Hadrian replied." Tamaro! Hadrian is here! " Mr. Granger called his daughter, who quickly ran down the stairs from her room to the entrance hall. "I didn't believe you would come today when she was so ugly outside and we couldn't go out," she said something similar to her father, and he pulled a wrapped gift in front of him. "What is it?" She didn't understand. "Partly for your birthday and partly thanking you for inviting me to your house," he explained, and Tamara started to unpack. She almost dropped the picture as surprised and surprised by Mr. Granger, at least according to what Hadrian read from his face. "I don't remember running away from human barbecue yesterday. A dragon who would spew fire on my flesh," Mr. Granger noted first, and was greatly amused. "Wow!" Tamara marveled at the flying phoenix, pointing at her fleeing father, laughing at the whole round. There was no Hadrian, who was lying on a lounger in the pool while juggling with five balls that resembled the heads of his five rivals. " Paul asked his daughter and pulled her out of a long staring at a new gift. "To my room above the table?" She asked, hoping she would get away with it. "Don't you think there would be a better place where anyone who visits us can see us?" Paul grinned and knew very well what had happened between his daughter and niece about the characters Tamara liked to draw so much. "What about the living room instead of Hermione's photos?" She suggested soon, and Paul just shook his head. "We'll put him in the living room, but we won't replace anyone next to the photos," Paul decided to go to the shed for a hammer with a staple. "Thank you very much, Hadrian," Tamara thanked him after they came to the living room to wait for her father. "You're welcome. I didn't lie yesterday when I said I liked this style," he said, sitting down at the big table with several board games. Mr. Granger had a picture hanging on the wall in the next few minutes before returning the tool to his seat and sitting back at the table where he and Tamara had a chess game. "Do you play chess?" Mr. Granger asked, and Hadrian shook his head. "I know the basic rules, but I've never had the opportunity to play with someone," he replied. "Hmm, during this game with Tamara we go through the rules of the game and then you can play against each other. Or we can play anything else, "said Mr. Granger, explaining the names of each piece, their possibility of movement, and so on. Hadrian had some knowledge of chess, but quickly found that Mr. Granger was far more knowledgeable than his uncle who once tried to teach chess to Dudley. He was not interested in his shooters or games. Congratulations! You have acquired a new skill - chess (beginner)! Chess - beginner - skill - type: passive level: 1 bonus: +1 to WIS (increase to +2 to WIS on lvl. 6). Info: This skill does not seem very important at first sight, but allows you to train strategic thinking only to some extent. He finished his first game against Tamara, which he lost, of course, despite the fact that, according to Mr. Granger, it was a very tight game. In the next two hours he lost three more games before he finally won. Once Tamara lost, she said she was tired of it and wanted to play something else. They played a memory game for about an hour, which Hadrian had no problem winning because of his good memory. Tamara was no longer entertained again, and he noticed that she was tired of everything she couldn't win. It amused him quite a bit and often because of that he stuck at her address. The third game they played that afternoon was Ludo. In this game, Hadrian noticed that every fourth roll of the dice always got exactly the number he wanted. A quick calculation in his head immediately told him that the chances of falling any number on the cube are some sixteen percent and up to twenty-five percent were missing nine. His happiness attribute was at eight points, which would correspond to the missing percentages. He guessed that if he had this attribute large enough, he would be able to throw exactly every third or second number he needed. But the warning of misuse of this attribute has stopped all possible ideas about winning a lottery or something similar. "What if we look at a movie?" Tamara suggested after Hadrian won their last game. "Why don't you show Hadrian our cassette collection to choose?" Mr. Granger prompted them and Tamara immediately showed him a wardrobe full of VHS cassettes. "Star Wars IV?" Hadrian asked for the film he saw first, perhaps because the cassette cover was pulled out. "A little older movie, but still excellent. You can imagine that it is in space. The whole saga is one of my favorite and often with my brother what is better if Star Wars or Star Trek," Mr. Granger told him. "Star Wars is a series of three films, but they're all long enough, so today we'll be able to watch one of them at most," Tamara said right away, turning on the TV with the player to put the cassette in. "I'm going to get another snack," Mr. Granger said. Chlebů. Hadrian returned to his room after dinner, where he stayed at the Granger. He would normally think about what he would do the next day in the forest, but now he had the full mind of what he saw in the movie Knights. The power was something other than his magic, but he believed that with a little effort and imagination, he would be able to repeat what he saw in the first film of three. He certainly couldn't wait to see Tamara's other two films and get much more information for his future experiments. In the meantime, however, he scored a few points in the notebook that he wanted to focus on in the future. I hope I can translate these ideas into reality. He only thought before he finally fell asleep. OOOOOOOOO July 27, 1989: A few days passed, during which Hadrian visited the Granger House again. He and Tamara also looked at the other two Star Wars V and VI films, with Hadrian getting a much clearer idea of how strength worked in this fictional world. To make matters worse, he also bought several books from the same universe in a nearby bookstore, where the theory of power was discussed far deeper in detail, as well as many abilities. Some of them were very quickly overlooked in the films. In addition, he was also back in the Kvikálkov Forest every day, where he always visited the spider dungeon three times. Young acromantulas were no longer a problem for him, it was worse with the lair protectors, they were far more dangerous. Even so, thanks to these expeditions, he gained some experience and the distance to the next level was slowly decreasing. To make matters worse, he got another inspiration for his other paintings when Tamara lent him several fantasy books. As they read them, he found that the profession of linguist had not only helped him to understand any speech, but the higher the tier in the language and the profession itself, the faster he could read. OOOOOOOOO July 28, 1989: "Hadriane, do you have anything planned for the weekend?" Tamara asked after their training in the doj. "I haven't planned anything yet, but I'd like to start preparing for some of my projects," he replied. "Do you think your relatives will let you go for the whole weekend? I have already asked my father, and if you can, you can stay with us until Monday morning, "she wondered, trying to hide the true essence of why she invited him to them for the whole weekend." I don't know, but probably not, "Hadrian shrugged. "Hey, Potter!" Dudley shouted at him as he saw him, and they both stopped. "Do you need anything, Dudley?" Hadrian asked neutral. "Your father tells you we're going to Aunt Marge for the weekend and you're not invited. I told him you had a campsite in the forest, so you can sleep there because in the house as a monster like you, he won't leave himself, "Dudley laughed at him and his crew laughed at it. Tamara wanted to let go of Hadrian's cousin immediately, but he stopped her with a raised hand.." How long do you plan to be gone? " Hadrian assured himself. "I don't know, about the whole weekend," Dudley replied, before he waved at his cronies, and quickly disappeared toward the playground, where they were certainly going to terrorize other children. "Why did you stop me? How can a monster call you?" She didn't understand Tamara, and he just shook his head. "It doesn't matter how they call me when it means nothing to me. Why go into conflict when you know you're smarter and can rise above such things? Also, if you do not show the reaction they expect from you, it will stop entertaining them very quickly and they will rather ignore you rather than continue to bother you, "he explained." Hmm, I would still like to hit him right in his teeth, "she said. "But now we know you have the whole weekend for yourself, so you won't refuse me, do you?" She assured herself. "I really don't know, it's not so cold overnight and it's quite safe in the camp, and I would have peace of mind," Hadrian said. "Please, please! Don't leave me alone with Hermione all weekend. He is constantly behaving superiorly, as if she were the smartest person under the sun. Also, there is no fun with her, she always wants to read or play knowledge games, "Tamara pleaded, and Hadrian thought this was the main reason she invited him to their home. That was one of the reasons, it wasn't the most important reason." Your father really doesn't mind? " Hadrian asked. "No, I told you I asked him," she replied impatiently. "All right. I'll spend the weekend with you. But now I have to pack some things before Uncle Vernon locks the house and I can't get into it. Then I head for a few things. He suggested and Tamara agreed immediately. After saying goodbye to her at the bus stop, he headed quickly home. There, Aunt Petunia was waiting for him, telling him what he had learned from Dudley. The only difference was that she secretly put the key from the garden door in his hand and sent him to his room to prepare for the weekend in the woods, while she set out to finish a light lunch before traveling to Vernon's sister. Hadrian wondered if he could take enough canvases and a painting stand from his room, but he guessed that Tamara wouldn't give him enough free time. That's why he put everything in his inventory before he packed enough clothes and other needs into his backpack. For the time being, the backpack has also been kept in the inventory, whereupon he went from the house to the Kvikálkovský Forest. He was going to visit the spider dungeon again to lose the daily supply of exps. OOOOOOOOO 29. 7. 1989: You slept in a strange bed. HP and MP are only 50% renewed. Saturday morning he was awakened by a slightly different announcement than he was used to. Fifty percent seemed to be low, but it was no problem for him, because he hadn't lost any HP the previous day and fully restored his magic with evening meditation, trying to move to a higher level without the necessary manual and leadership from Master Feng. "Hadrian! Are you awake? "Tamara ran into the room he got for the weekend." I already, "he replied, turning away quickly, because Tamara ran to him only in her panties and a short sleeping shirt, not that she couldn't see her in a swimsuit, but that was something other than underwear. "Tamara! Mr. Granger shouted from the bedroom door, where he saw his daughter, as she flew down the corridor from her room to Hadrian's. Tamara immediately realized she was not disguised and the whole red pulled away from Hadrian's room. He shook his head at his daughter's actions, hoping this would be enough of her. The sooner she learned, the better. Though he didn't want to admit it, in a few years any boy could unload it a little differently and get Tamara to do something she didn't have to be ready for. The ground floor for breakfast. It was quite strange to him when he didn't have to prepare breakfast or lunch. "I don't know what Tamara told you when she invited you for the weekend, but today my brother and his family will come and we are also planning to visit the amusement park today to go to one of better restaurants. Tamara told me that you had a ninth birthday on Monday, so you can take it as a little celebration and a gift at the same time, "Mr. Granger told him, and Hadrian did not expect anyone to do anything like that for him." Um, I didn't expect anything for my birthday, "I don't. Everyone deserves to celebrate their birthday! "He refused to accept his objections." Daddy, that was supposed to be a surprise! " Tamara, who entered the dining room, protested right away. "And you have no right to refuse! I know that your relatives are coughing on your birthday, so someone has to take care of their celebration! "She pointed at Hadrian and it was obvious that no objections would be heard." Okay, but I will pay for the amusement park and my refreshment, "Hadrian decided. "I can agree with that, but it's the only thing you pay for yourself, the rest comes from my wallet, do we understand?" Mr. Granger agreed, and Hadrian nodded in agreement after a moment. Half an hour after they had breakfast and cleaned the dishes, the bell rang. Tamara looked up at the door. She's not going back home. Not that she didn't like Uncle Dan or Aunt Paulin, but the less time she spent in the presence of Hermione, the better she felt. "Dane, Pauline, Hermione, come inside. Paul greeted them. "Paul, the girls decided that we had to unpack and dress more appropriately," Dan replied. "Where is Tamara? She didn't come to us last time and I was looking forward to her," Paulina asked for her niece. "Aunt Pauline, Uncle Dane," said Tamara, who had no choice and went to welcome her family while Hadrian stood in the doorway from the dining room to the hall where he was watching the whole thing. "You grew up again, sweetheart," Paulina hugged her and Tamara "And who is this young man?" She asked Pauline, who noticed another occupant of the house. "This is ..." Paul began, but he did not finish the show because Hermione jumped into him. "You! Hermione rode to Hadrian, who, after a long time, finally realized that he had met Tamara's cousin once. "Hadrian is my friend, whom I invited to us for the weekend," Tamara said. "Do you know each other?" Paul asked, puzzled, and was not the only one who wondered. "Hmm, with fraudsters with enemies!" Hermione retorted. "The fraudsters?" Paul still didn't understand, but Hermione's parents were slowly starting to run out. "Boy, aren't you Hadrian Potter who won the nationwide mathematical competition?" Dan asked. "Among other things, yes, I am. Nice to meet you, Doctor, Doctor Granger, "Hadrian bowed slightly." What does it have to do with Hermione claiming to be a fraud? " She didn't understand Tamara. "Because I won the final round, while your cousins didn't. If I am not mistaken, she finished fourth despite the fact that she finished the test right after me, "Hadrian explained briefly, and Tamara grinned from ear to ear. She made sure that Hermione was not far from the next explosion. "That would be enough. Let them unpack and change. In Thorpe Park they open from ten o'clock and it is better if we arrive there sooner to have a place to park, "Paul decided to cut off the situation right in the bud so that the plans would not become just a pile of misfortune." Tamaro, please behave decently and do not create contradictions, "Paul asked. "I'll leave her alone, but if she starts, I won't hold back. I have never liked anything from Loreen and Lucie, and the same is true for Hermione, "Tamara told him relentlessly, and Hadrian raised his eyebrows over two new names." Loreen is my first wife and Lucie is Tamara's half sister. Sometimes the relationship just doesn't work out. Hadrian before Tamara could tell him anything else. "The two arrogant nanes are," Tamara said, and Paul cleared his throat immediately. "You can still stay at home, young lady," Paul warned her, and that was enough to make her quiet. Oooooooooo after entering Thorpe Park, Hadrian was literally silent. In London he saw only the big ferris wheel alias the London Eye, but it did not match what echoed before him. As far as his eye could see, there was an attraction, and although they had arrived before opening hours, they had to wait half an hour in the queue before they reached the main complex. "During the morning we will go through various attractions before heading for a light lunch. Anyone who wants to continue the tour, or we can move to pools and water slides, "Paul explained to them." Roller coasters and other fast things are not for me, so I will endure what is necessary and then I am going to sun by the water, "Paulina said. "No fear, we'll just go to where the kids let go. Most of the faster or more spooky lanes are limited for the older thirteen, "Dan reassured his wife, and together they all went to the first roller coaster that everyone could go to. For Hadrian it was the first time he knew this was something he liked. He headed back to the ground at a sufficient height and at a much greater speed than he sharply drove into the left-hand turn. In the curve, the train turned sideways, and he only realized that people around him were screaming from ear to ear and after a few maneuvers he was laughing at his ear and a few maneuvers. The whole round, and every steep descent to the ground, was more and more annoyed, which made many more nervous than frightened shouts. The first ride ended far before Hadrian could fully enjoy it and stepped out of his place. "Can we go for something extremely longer? This took too short, "he asked all of Granger, and Pauline and Hermione looked at him like an alien, neither of them looked too healthy. Tamara, unlike them, giggled." Didn't that look long? " Dan wondered and read from the information board that the whole ride took some three minutes, which was sufficient for most children. "No, it was too short. Hadrian asked, pointing to a track that had several spiral straights and three vertical wheels, where people were hanging their heads down. "We can see if they let you go," Paul and Hermione refused and went to safer and went to safer. Attractions. Hadrian enjoyed this ride very much, which could not be said about the others, because his joyful laughter scared most passengers. The hardest of them had a lot to do to avoid crying in horror from time to time, and in front of them sat an almost nine-year-old boy who wasn't scared of anything on the track and laughed like a fool instead. When they reached the finish line, Hadrian persuaded Mr. Granger to allow him one more ride. It took a while, but in the end Paul agreed, so Hadrian and Tamara set out on the second round while he was waiting at the finish. "Where's your Hadrian and Tamara?" She asked immediately as she saw Paul standing beside the waiting queue. "They wanted to go again," Paul pointed to the roller coaster, where the train was just rushing through one of many spirals. "And you didn't go with them?" Dan wondered, giving his older brother an amused look. "Try to ride this track with Hadrian, who is just laughing and screaming all the time while everyone around you screams. I don't know what is more frightening," Paul said. "Clear symptoms of an adrenaline fool," Paulina shook her head. "Fortunately, this is the most extreme track on which the operator will release them, so his next reactions may not be so strong," Paul sighed. Paul was right. Hadrian enjoyed several other mountain railways, but not with the enthusiasm as he enjoyed the other. They also tried a haunted track where they drove through a cave tunnel or a waterfall, but here the player's mind helped him to manage adaptation to situations where a normal person was startled. On the way between the attractions, they saw several different stalls and on the way to the restaurant also dried up a bit, because their last ride was in the form of a fall into the water tank. Tamara laughed for a few more minutes each time she looked at her cousin. She got a direct hit in the face and three minutes after getting off the seat still sputtered water. "I noticed that they opened a special attraction where two teams compete against each other in a series of several challenges. We would have to pay extra for the admission fee, but what if we tried it after lunch? "Asked Dan, who was intrigued by Jungle's escape and showed everyone the leaflet he received from one of the park staff." "Only recommendations. Hermione is highly intelligent and apparently Hadrian is on the same level. Why not split into two teams? It can be fun, and most importantly, cooperation will be important, "Dan tried to convince them." If Tamara and Hadrian agree, I don't see a problem, "Paul agreed. "So good. After lunch we will try this escape from the jungle, but then we will go to the pools, "Hermione's mother finally agreed. OOOOOOOOOO On the way from Thorpe Park, everyone stopped at a nearby restaurant where Paul booked a sufficient number of places at a single table. Perhaps only sixty percent of the meals he had learned. Most of the recipes unknown to him contained both freshwater and sea fish." I haven't had a medium-baked steak for a long time, "Hermione's father told himself rather than someone else. "As far as I remember, they are doing excellent trout on the cumin," Paulina said, and Tamara curled her nose at her choice. "Freshwater fish stinks," Hadrian said well. "Dad, can I have a boar in wine?" Hermione asked her father. "Hmm," Dan responded, reading the information his daughter wanted to order before he finally nodded. "What do you want?" Tamara Hadrian asked, still not knowing what she would order. "There is a schnitzel in the potato pancake in the foreign meals section. I haven't seen anything like this, so I'm quite interested," Hadrian replied. "If it's not good, do you buy me another meal, do you understand?" Tamara told him, telling her father her choice, and Hadrian could only shake his head resignedly. He could only hope that the food he had chosen would be tasty for him and Tamara. Paul refused to eat from his daughter when he was still in part full, so he finished a third of her food, and he earned special glances from Hermione and her parents, but he didn't pay the least attention. I would have to find this recipe and learn it. Tamara thought. Hermione was also very tired. Hadrian hadn't normally felt fatigue for some time. The player's body and mind skills had other effects on his life than just those in the description. He felt fatigue only when his magical supplies were at a minimum. He calculated that even if his HP dropped to a low level, he would experience that feeling again, but it was impossible for him during normal activities. "Brother, who painted this painting?" Dan asked after sitting in the living room where he had taken a glass of alcohol from Paul. Paulina went to put the children in bed, leaving only the two of them on the ground floor. "Tamara showed Hadrian her drawings for the first time. The next day, he gave it a belated birthday to this painting," he explained the origin of the painting. "I hate to admit it, but his talent exceeds my daughters," Dan sighed. "I noticed that Hermione still couldn't easily accept when someone was better at something. Her sense of superiority wouldn't help her much in her life," Paul stumbled slightly, though it was more of a statement. "She has never experienced defeat before, from someone who is a year younger. "They both have the same gift, but Hadrian has more capacity. Surely you could tell it during what you had on their shoulders," Paul confirmed. "What do you know about him?" Dan wondered. "Very little. But I have some idea and I will have to go through some things after my great-grandfather, who was the last to bear the surname Dagworth-Granger," Paul replied, and Dan said. "I don't remember him too much, and I always thought his stories were a bunch of nonsense. But that was before I witnessed the only masked striker smashed the street with a wave of a wooden stick. I also remember well that these people love to modify the memories of all witnesses, not that it affects us too much, "Dan said grimly, drinking deeply from his glass." Go to sleep, tomorrow we expect Tamara to argue as Hermione criticizes this image, "Paul said. "And we hoped our descendants would be like brothers and sisters. Three daughters in one generation and all three do not have to each other. Our dreams are crushed, "Dan remarked, finished his glass and listened to his older brother, who only went to his bedroom a few minutes later. OOOOOOOOO On July 31, 1989: You slept in a strange bed. HP and MP are only 50%. Congratulations! Hadrian woke up again at Tamara at home, getting up very early. His goal was to leave home as soon as possible to make sure his relatives were already at home or not. He was also awaiting training in the Dumer, where he was always an hour or two before Tamara arrived. He gave the room some things and took another one from there before heading for the doj, he arrived there first that day." Good morning, Hadriane-kun, "Master Akira greeted him. "Good morning to you too, Akiro-Sensei," he replied, bowing slightly to her. "Happy birthday. With the other masters, we folded into three smaller gifts that Master Kurokyuu intends to give you at the end of today's lesson," Akira told him. "Umm, thank you, but you know it's not necessary, is it?" He assured himself. "No need to refuse. Not only are you one of our most diligent students, you have given us a very original picture. It's only natural that you get something back on this important day. But now you run to change. He got a blue belt," she told him, and Hadrian listened immediately. He spent the next two hours training alone with Master Akira before other students came to Doj. Therefore, she had to interrupt their independent training, Hadrian took advantage of it and headed out of the training hall, where he took a training bow with a quiver of arrows from the weapon store. He devoted himself to archery for the remaining hour and a half. "Hadriane-kun, stop at the office building after you take a shower," Master Kurokyuu asked him. "As you wish, Master Kurokyu," he agreed, and arrived at the office building a quarter of an hour later. "Did you want to see me, Master?" Hadrian asked, seeing that there were perhaps all the masters. "Yes," Master Kurokyuu nodded, pointing at the table where three packages were lying. "We know you have your ninth birthday today, so we decided you deserve some of the gifts. Not only because you have a birthday, but also because of your diligence. "Karate has so far been able to train alone without our supervision, but the other two disciplines are not. We put a lot of confidence in you when we give you these two weapons," Master Ichigo told him and gave him a package of, "which Hadrian unpacked Wakizashi. The blade of this short sword was forty-nine centimeters long. Hadrian was accustomed to the fact that all the swords were more silver in color, but as soon as he drew this sword, he noticed that the whole blade was matt black, only the blade was silver. On one side of the blade was engraved with an emerald lightning, the same to what he had on his forehead. On the other hand, there were Kanji characters representing his name. "Thank you very much, it's beautiful Wakizashi," Hadrian bowed deeply. "Only the first of the two weapons we have for you," Master Okiji told him and handed him the second package that was much longer than the first. Hadrian unpacked a short bow with a full quiver. The bow was made of dark red wood and immediately noticed the emerald flash and the kanji of the characters that coincided with those on Wakizashi. Hadrian tightened the bowstring for the test, which was a little harder than a normal training bow, but he knew it wouldn't be a problem for him. "Again, I can only thank you deeply. Both weapons are really beautiful and I am sincerely afraid to train with them and I would rather expose them, "he admitted, and most adults just laughed at it." The third gift is not so spectacular, but it will certainly be no less useful to you. I originally told you that you will have to meet all my requirements. By trying you on Friday and see how far you have been able to advance in those few days, "Master Feng explained, giving him the smallest package of three. "Thank you very much for your trust, Master Feng," he thanked before saying goodbye and quickly headed home where the Dursleys had already arrived waiting for their lunch. Continued next time!
