Harry Potter: Raised By Roses

Chapter Forty: Charlie Draco... Er... Weasley

(This chapter is dedicated to Chadwick Boseman. The Black Panther will live in our hearts forever. Wakanda Forever!)

Sofia, T'challa, and Abby had to hit the backs of their friends as they were coughing. The surprise was a lot for them to take in.

The Weasley family was standing right in front of them, in Greece, inside of Crystal Rose, around all of these mystics souls that they had no idea were mystic souls. If that did not raise their stress levels, nothing would. According to what the trio knew about the family, the only missing Weasley was the eldest brother, William. Or rather, Bill, as the twins and Percy told them that he preferred to be called.

The trio finally got their composure back after a few more wacks on their backs by their friends.

"What in the name of the Olympian gods," Harry instantly swore.

"Charlie, what in Hades is going on," Krinos immediately asked.

"I guess the obvious thing should be that my last is not exactly Draco," Charlie admitted. "It's Weasley."

"In terms of obviousness, that does pretty much take the cake," Melody says.

"Guess we now understand why he came from Romania, yet never had a Romanian accent," T'challa said.

"When have you ever heard a Romanian accent," Sofia asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I saw a circus performance in Gotham City when I was a kid," T'challa explained. "A lot of the people working there were from Romania."

"Talk about a cliche," Hestia put a hand on her hip.

"I've never liked the circus, anyway," Hailey says. 

"That's because you're afraid of clowns," Melody giggled.

"I have said this over and over again," Hailey says. "I am not afraid of them, I simply find them creepy. There's a difference."

"Whatever you have to tell yourself," Sofia smirked.

"So... you three go here as well," Percy asked the trio as the family also came out of shock.

"This is where we went to school all year before we started at Hogwarts," Harry said. "And even while we go there, we take the midterms and finals of Crystal Rose so that we move up years here as well."

"We make sure to keep both sides of our education open since Crystal Rose has always been a part of our lives and we will not abandon it," Krinos says.

"We self-study our Crystal Rose lessons so that we keep up our Greek education," Melody added.

"Why would you want to have more school," Ron scoffed. "It's so boring." 

"It's called wanting to have a future," Harry rolled his eyes. "Just because our family is rich does not mean we're so lazy as to not want to work."

"You're the Boy-Who-Lived, you can get any job you want," Ron looked horrified at the thought of actually having to do actual work.

"Just because I can do something doesn't mean I should," Harry crossed his arms. "And that title means nothing to me. Your precious 'Boy-Who-Lived' is nothing but a fairy tale that the pathetic politicians of magical Britain made-up."

"Can anyone be more pathetic than that Fudge person you told us about," T'challa asked. "That guys seems like a piece of work."

"What can we say," Krinos shrugged. "When it comes to British politicians, they care more about money and reputation than anything else."

"There is something that," Fred started.

"We can definitely agree with," George finished.

"See, dad," Percy looked at his father. "Even those that do not live in Britain know about how corrupt they are. You really need to find a better job."
