Interview

"What you're missing is the fact that the people that came up with the question didn't know about evolution."

"Oh. Oh! So, you're saying that you no longer know what causes magic to appear in plants, animals, and leylines, and it could well be some undiscovered third thing that ties them all together."

"Essentially, yes. Though I hadn't considered the latter."

"Maybe we can import some other magical plants and creatures and make an enclave on Earth for them."

"There's a lot of primordial forest down there, I'm sure we could. Though doing so without them being wiped out before they can reach sustainable levels could be problematic."

"Start with the small animals, and those herbivores that are good at remaining unseen. Same with the plants."

"Garden gnomes and fairies should be easy enough to come by. Maybe some of the magical mushrooms and vines."

"There you go, what about the infestation?"

"So far as we can tell, it doesn't really exist on Earth. I'd be more worried about the trees and other plant life that Silvana developed. Once we get over the hurdle of the local plant life outcompeting the magical plants, you'll probably start to see Ents and Dryads start to appear naturally in areas where Leylines exist."

"Maybe we can transplant some Sentients to those areas and see what happens to them too."

"Why don't you head back with Harry and Hermione next weekend and see about gathering some plants from the forest."

Pandora laughs, "Oh Natah. Redo your calculations."

"Oh, it's the holidays, so they'll be here for a few years."

"That does have me thinking though, Marcus' children are going to need a magical education. By the time they get their Hogwarts letters it will be far too late for them. Maybe I can put out an advert for muggleborn to emigrate here, non-magical family included."

"What if you get magical applicants?"

"Doesn't really matter, I just want to keep the bigots away. I'll need to talk to the people of Cetus though, as I think I'd want them to join their community first."

"Why not one of the other earth colonies?"

"They're already a high profile Grineer target, so adding a magical community isn't going to change that. The others all survive because they're hidden or live in locations the Grineer don't want."

"I suppose, there's also the Quills representative there. They might be able to help design a new magical focus. They did design the amps for the Tenno after all."

Reaching the pens, the two of them turn back to their research.

Harry frowns as Tau appears in front of him the day before the Christmas holidays starts. Opening the letter, he scans it and then sighs.

"Kitty, have we introduced you to Ironclaw or his son Ironjaw yet?"

Kitty looks up from Orokin desk toy she's practicing with, "No, not yet."

"Right, here's their details. I'm going to include you in chat, and you'll want this letter too."

{Harry} @Ironjaw @Ironclaw Good morning. Sorry for contacting you so early.

{Ironclaw} Gringotts is open at all hours. What can we do for you?

{Harry} First, I'd like to introduce you to @Kitty, one of our clan members.

{Kitty} Hi.

{Ironclaw} May the blood of your enemies flow as swiftly as your vaults are filled.

{Kitty} And may their entrails make good sausages.

{Ironclaw} asdfghjkl;

{Ironclaw} Sorry, I was laughing too hard to type properly, I will have to remember that one.

{Ironclaw} What can we help you with?

{Harry} My mother wants you to buy out all the stock in a couple of nurseries and magical component farms. She also wants 2 dozen each of Garden Gnomes, Fairies, Pixies, Nifflers, Bundimun, Billywig, Horklump, Clabbert and Jobberknoll.

{Ironclaw} She is aware of the fact they can't be owled?

{Harry} She is, though we have successfully transported two farming trunks and 3 unicorns using our own transportation. We will want all of those in an expanded trunk. As Hermione and I are in classes for the next two days, can you work with Kitty on this?

{Kitty} @Harry How am I supposed to help? I'm not magical.

{Ironjaw} Good morning.

{Ironclaw} @Ironjaw Good, just the person I needed. You need to meet @Kitty in the Three Broomsticks and escort her back to Gringotts. We have an urgent commission.

{Ironclaw} Harry, if you are willing to transport a shipment to Cephalon Simaris we will waive the Gringotts fees.

{TheFairyQueen} That explains a lot.

{Harry} Sure, just make sure it's separate from our lot and labelled clearly.

{Ironclaw} Do you know why your mother needs this stuff?

{Harry} Not entirely, but they say they're planting them on Earth as an experiment.

{Ironclaw} We'll include a few boxes of flobberworms too. Just pour them out on the earth and they'll burrow in.

{Harry} Thank you.

Harry has left

TheFairyQueen has left

{Kitty} That's just not fair of them.

Ironclaw has left

{Ironjaw} Do you know where the three broomsticks is?

{Kitty} I've been there, the village isn't all that interesting though.

{Ironjaw} It mainly exists for the school and forest.

{Kitty} ok, how about I message you when we get to earth?

{Ironjaw} I await your message.

Kitty spends the next couple of days cursing magical transportation and moving all around the UK buying things from different farms and nurseries.
