Ava was on a broom studying the grey floor while James sat crossed on the floor writing down his thoughts and theories on the creation of the new floor. Angus was on watch watching for any danger protecting them while they did research on the floor. Mara sat back to back to him recording the events of what had happened from the accounts of Angus and James.
"Mara!" Ava said calmly.
Mara looked up at Ava. "Yes! Mother." She answered in a sweet voice.
Both James and Angus snorted in laughter but remained quiet. Ava gave her a look. "Explain to me how you are able to sit on this mystical floor. I need a theory from you on the process of your thinking and conclusions."
Mara nodded. "From the records I have recorded on the creation of the foundation of this place is a combination of Daddy's powers and wusxia spells and protection."
Ava nodded. "Go on!"
"So I can conclude that apart of his strength and magical energy is in this place. I understand this place to be similar to the ranch below that is under his domain. I trust in the core of that magic and believe in that source."
Ava tapped a finger to her chin before she stepped off her broom unto the floor and stood frowning. Angus walked over toward her and titled her chin up to face him. She stared at him.
Angus stared at her. "It's just a damn floor Ava. If I can manage to get a bed up here the only thing you'll be looking is the skies and figuring out how to stop screaming."
Ava blushed as he stared at her giving her quick passionate kiss on the lips before he straightened up and walked away to stare up at the skies turning his head around. She looked over at Mara and James see them intently focused on their books trying to ignore the foreplay between Angus and Ava.
James stopped writing for a second and froze in thought. He smiled and back against Mara's back in thought. "Protection enchantment and wusxia hidden protection in combination magic. Brilliant." He said.
"What?!" Angus said.
Ava froze at James words and then nodded her head slowly. "Agreed. It has to be a combination of your family's gift for protection enchantment spells. Can you work it though to build up the walls?"
James frowned coming to his feet. He walked around held up his hand trying to feel for something. He frowned. "Dad. How big is this place?" He asked him.
"How big?! Son from all I can tell right now this place is a few feet a mist. This isn't a place at all."
James shook his head. "I disagree on that. Okay. Another question. What's your favourite place?"
"Our ranch. I built my business here and learned how to shoot here. I've been a lot of places son."
James nodded. "Okay. That would be at least two hundred acres. Now I got an idea for how big this place his. When you were at Hogwarts what was your favorite places to go."
"James. What are you doing?" Ava asked standing close beside him.
James shook his head. "I'm not doing anything? This is dad's place created by his energy and magical power and the sword." He said with a smile.
"Dad! What were your favorite places at Hogwarts?" He said.
Angus chuckled shaking his head. "Oh no. The only thing I liked about school was meeting your mother and having friends. When I turned of aged I couldn't wait to get out of that place so I could start earning money for my own place. What is your favorite place in Hogwarts?"
James frowned. "I don't know if that will work."
"Just tell me son. I'm interested to know and we're just having a causal conversation. What's your favorite place in Hogwarts?" Angus said.
James frowned. "I had two places. The room of requirement and the dueling room." He said and frowned heard the ground shift under his feet and the room shift. He reached out his hand and caught hold of doorknob and turned it opening it.
James opened up a silver white door and he looked inside to room with a long narrow dueling path from the front to the back of empty room. The walls where dark grey and had multicolored glass windows with images of black birds and water snakes. He walked inside leaving the door open and examined the room. He nodded his head liking the room.
The others followed inside and studied the room.
Angus nodded. "This will do. Good job son. I have no damn idea how your doing any of this stuff."
James snorted. "I'm not doing anything dad. This is all you bro. This is really giving me some ideas. I got another question for you dad."
Angus nodded and waved a hand. "Give it to me straight up son. I'm all ears." He said.
"Wait! Ava says.
All three look at her and are waiting. Ava however was looking staring at James. "James. What is this place? What are you shaping it into?"
James started to open his mouth but heard the cry of an owl before his Bill flew inside and landed on the perch beside him. He Bill's body and noticed a letter and attached to the owl's leg and it's wings were smoking. He out his wand walking toward the open door way.
Angus pulled him back before a fire ball was thrown inside. He glared at the open door. "Damn cowards. James can you make another way out the back."
James shook off Angus' hold. "No. I don't. I told you this your place is your creation."
"James. You have a letter is for you. You need to read this." Mara said.
James went back to her. The building shook with the blasts from magic hitting the building. Mara took the letter from her and quickly scanned the letter and froze. "Shit! How the hell did they find out!" throwing the letter down on the floor.
Angus frowned at him. "What happened?"
James shook his head. "My friend Dago Malfoy and his connection to me were found out. I got to go. His family is under attack." He said started to jump into an apparition but he couldn't. He tried again nothing happened. "I can't apparition."
Angus frowned tried to do so. He couldn't. "Damn it. They have some type of enchantment on the building. They've locked us inside." He said as the building continued to shake. "We're stuck here."
James took off running for the entrance as the others tried to catch him. He leaped changing into his animagus raven form. He flew past the fire balls and flew upward to the sky past the fire ball attacks that came him.
James flapped his wings and kept racing toward one of the wizards on his broom. He appeared behind the wizard aiming his wand at his back. "Expelliarmous!" He said.
The wizard dropped his wand at the same time James went into an apparition appearing a distance away. A fire ball came racing at him and changed into the raven. He flew past the fire ball toward the wizard as he fired fire balls at James until he was knocked off his broom by Harry.
"James go help your friend. We got it." Harry told him.
James changed back into his normal form and Mara appeared next to him in the air. "What are you doing?"
"I'm coming with you." Mara said.
"No your not!" James yelled at her.
"Dago is in trouble. He needs you." Mara said and grabbed his arm.
They dropped down on the ground. Someone grabbed James by the back of his hair and yanked him up. James elbowed the man between the legs and shoved him a side. He draw his wand from his pocket.
A swift kick sent him back to his back and his wand flew out of his hand. James went into apparition and appeared in front of his attacker and kneed him in the face before he grabbed the wizard and threw him into two wizards coming up behind him. He saw his wand and dove into a roll and grabbed it up.
"Yo. Hold it right there. Potter!" A man said.
James turned seeing Mara being held captive by two tall bulky wizards along with a tall blond young man with piecing blue eyes and blood coming form his lip. "What's up mate. Sorry I had to bring into my mess." Dago said.
"Sorry, I'm late bro. I had a bit of trouble at home." James said.
The wizard in charge nodded at James. "Charmed, I am Zane. Put the wand down and we'll let your friend and girl go. All we want is you. It's a even trade."
James turned on his heel in a circle. "PROTEGO!" He said and then faced the leader.
Spells rebounded off of the protection shield going back toward his enemies around him. Wizards dropped to the ground behind James.
James stared at the leader's violet white eyes. He didn't say anything. He stared at his enemy.
"PUT YOUR DAMN WAND DOWN!" Zane roared.
James glared at him. "Your move husk. Either way I'm going to nail your ass to the wall." He said.
Dago snorted in laughter. "I like this side of you."
