Mara shifted into a raven startling her captor. James aimed his wand. "Stupefy!" He roared.
"Avada Kedrava!
"JAMES!" Daga screamed.
James blinked going into apparition and found himself standing behind the wizard. He was holding his wand at the head of the wizard. "Stupefy!"
The wizard fell to the ground. Dago was shaking staring between him and the bodies of the wizards. James shook and wiped a hand down his face. "Ah. Yeah. Where's your family? Are they alright?"
Dago stared at James and then jumped as Mara appeared beside James. James stared at Dago. "Dago. I'm sorry about this, bro. I don't know how they found about us being friends. Is your family okay?"
Dago blinked then grimaced he shook his head. "They're fine, mate. They're fine. I had to lie in the letter. I'm sorry. But, If I didn't-"
"It's understandable, bro. I knew this could happen. I'm just sorry that your family got tied into this thing." James with no heat in his voice toward
Dago glared at him. "What thing is that?"
"People that hate my family." James said simply.
Dago sighed tiredly. "Mate. Word is travelling fast in the wizardry world. They say your father is making a play to take over the wizardry world first by challenging the President first and then-"
"-People said that shit about my grandfather and my great great grandfather for years man. People are full shit." James said bluntly and looked around keeping a watch on the area around them.
Dago stared at him. "What's wrong?"
James shook his head. "Keep talking bro. Ask me anything you like." He said keeping his darting around as he felt someone watching them.
"They say your father is a powerful wizard and he's going to become the next supreme wizard of the western wizardry world."
James nodded. "All true." He said still watching around him. "Go on!"
Mara took out her wand. "James are you sure about talking like this in open?"
James nodded. "Whoever is watching us is locked on us or me. We can't hide anything. Dago. Go on bro."
Dago started looking around until he found a wand picking it up. "What's he planning on doing?"
"Riddle wanted to take over the world and put the muggles under his boot and return things to old ways. My father is the dragon of the west, the protector of the magi. He's planning on leading my people into the dawn of new era for us."
"That sounds like something the dark lord would have said. I don't see a difference, mate." Dago said.
James smiled looking at Dago. "Oh there is a difference though the foundation of it is being set now. Do you remember that dream you told me about when we had our first butter beer in diagon alley?"
Dago stared at him and then his eyes widened. "Are you-" He paused looking around his heart started racing. "Holy shit! Mate. Holy shit! I Think you need help."
James nodded. "I could use you and I'll put in a word with my Dad to get you on board. One thing though."
"Name your price. I'm down. But, I want a word in the creation of it. Holy shit!" He said.
"Of course. Your a Malfoy. One the oldest family's in our world. Your name added on to the project will bring the others on board. Do you trust me?"
"Completely."
"You have to trust me completely and my Dad. He's going the founder but we have to complete the project do you understand. So we have to trust each other completely."
Dago laughed. "Damn. I can't believe this. You got my trust mate. This a dream come true. We're going to change the world."
James held out his hand to Dago. Dago took it and they went into apparition. Seconds later they stood on the foundations of the grey stones above the Potter Ranch.
Dago had his eyes closed James smiled at him as Ava and Angus stood with them. "Open your eyes, bro."
Dago opened his eyes and looked around wide eyes. He stared at him at open skies. He looked at door open to the dueling room and then down at the grey stone cloudy floor.
He walked around shaking with excitement. "How did you? No. To hell with that. How much room do we have to work with for the project?"
"It's a measurement of my father's land below. Two hundred acres." James said smiling.
Dago turned to him and took hold of his shoulders. "Holy shit. That's more then enough. This is big and it's in the bloody sky. There hasn't been a-" He stopped because James covered his mouth.
Dago nodded and removed James hand. "Your right. To many eyes on us. We have to build it first and protect it until they can't take a hold of it before it's finished. We have to have a name for it though. What are we going to call it. James do realise what this means. This huge. Holy shit James."
James nodded. "I know." He said turned to Angus. "Dad!?"
Angus smiled slowly and folded his arms across his chest. "You name it son. But then you got to give me just a little hint of what the hell this place is." He said.
James grinned and wrapped an around Dago's shoulder. His friend copied the jester. "Hawk's Landing."
Dago laughed and hugged James before he looked around rubbed his hands together. "I need a pen and notebook." He said.
James clapped his shoulder and turned to Mara who was glaring at him. "I need you to take Dago down to the house to him a pen and notebook. He's got ideas going through his head."
"I will but then you will tell me what the hell is going on?" Mara said taking a hold of Dago and they disappeared.
"James. What is going on?" Ava demanded.
Angus laughed. "You better tell her James. She's getting more then a little annoyed. Tell us as much as you can without spilling the beans entirely for whoever is out there watching us."
James grinned nodded his head and looked around. "Dad. Your the founder of Hawk's Landing. You been to a lot of places around the world. Is there is place like the Lost Temple?"
Angus grinned but shook his head. "No. But the purpose is the same like every of type of place like it. So your saying this place is like the lost temple."
"That's your answer. Dad. This place is like the temple of the lost but it's something entirely different. In fact I would say for what it's going to become under your leadership it will be amazing. Dad has there ever been anyone to invent a magical weapon like the peacemaker?"
"Wait a minute!" Ava said holding up a hand she shook her head. "That isn't an answer at all."
"Ava." Angus said. "James is building a school."
Ava froze and then stared. "Oh."
"I wouldn't call this Hawk's Landing just a school dad and I'm not building anything your founder. Dad are you the only one to make a weapon like the peacemaker?" James said.
Angus nodded. "Yeah. Though to be honest The peacemaker is seen little more then a novelty. I make my money from wand repair and sword enchantments. I can't teach wuxia anyone but you or your children. I don't see how I could help you any with your school."
James shook his head. "It's not my school, dad if you want to call it that. Dad. My friend Dago wants to come on aboard and help with what your doing here."
Angus snorted. "What I'm doing here?! This is your operation my friend but your friend can come in help you with it. How was your friend able to walk around up here?"
James shrugged. "He trusts me so he trusts you. I think you. Dad I really think your not giving yourself enough credit. I think your a real good teacher."
Angus started laughing.
"James." Ava said approaching him. "Honey. You and your father have much better things to do then make this Enchanted sky realm another Hogwarts. Don't you remember your dreams?"
James held up his hands. "I never said anything about turning this place into another Hogwarts or school. I just brought Dago in because he's good with protection spells and wards but he also has some ideas for adding onto Hawk's Landing and making things more interesting."
"James you are not going to lower yourself into becoming a professor at-"
"Mom! Listen to me!" James said.
Ava stared at him.
"This place is not another Hogwarts. No. Listen to me. This is not Hogwarts. It's much more important and bigger then that."
"Promise you that your not going to going to become a professor in this school your building with your father and I will handle finding you teachers to run it for you." Ava said.
James turned when Dago appeared before him with Mara. He looked at Dago. "Dago do you think there need to be teachers in this place."
Dago frowned. "What?! Why would we need teachers here? This place isn't school?"
James nodded his head and turned to Angus. "Your the founder here. What do you think? Dad does this place need teachers?"
Ava turned to glare at him but Angus looked at his son. "Son. Straight up. Is this place like Hogwarts?"
"No. Not at all! It's kind ah like the lost temple but the only thing similar to Hogwarts and the lost temple is the fact magical people gather in a place."
"Are you going to be a teacher here?" Angus asked and held up a hand when Ava would have spoke up.
James smiled. "Oh no. Not at all." He said.
Angus nodded. "That's all I needed to hear. I believe you."
