"Done." Harry let out a sigh of relief. He didn't screw it up, everything went perfectly.
For two entire days, the Harry Army rotated on the Staff and Grimoire. The staff was made from a tiny piece of Yggdrasill the World Tree. It had enormous requirements to be made into a staff that uses its full potential.
He can't just slap things on it and hope for the best. He was fusing the Elder Wand in its core for a bit more kick to the spells and the Basilisk Fang on the top to act as a focus. And this will naturally increase the potency of poison or toxic spells.
But to do so, the flow of mana must be smooth, he had to fuse the wand and the fang as if the tree always had them, to connect the tiny fibers with the want and the nerves inside the fang. It was meticulous and straining work on a microscopic level.
A single human tooth has about 100,000 microscopic nerve endings, and the giant snake fang has millions. Let alone the mana channels inside the staff that need to fuse with the Elder Wand.
The Grimoire was a lot more simple, the only thing left for it was to get the Philosopher's Stone and place it on the cover. But that can wait for later, without the stone it wouldn't have near infinite energy, but it was still very useful.
'Now all that's left to do is to write out the most useful combat spells in it and let it do its thing' Harry grabbed a quill he made from a Phoenix Feather. Fawkes was having a bad time, all of his feathers were getting plucked, tears streaming as a result, he was forced to combust to heal himself making more ash, and then the process repeats.
Harry started to write 'Let's see, Fire Brid spell is going in, lightning spells are in, Diffindo, Sectumsempra and Wind Slash is in, I'm going to make this thing into a mini Malevolent Shrine.'
He started writing spell after spell. 'I should put in some one on one spells, like my Bakudo spells, anything that will slow them down and immobilize them. I planned on changing my fighting style, but now I can just put my old style in the Grimoire 'Scumy Cheating Book' for the win'
~ One week later
Harry was making his way back to Hogwarts. Honestly he would have kept going but Hope reminded him that she exists and she was not Happy. He might have went too far this time.
He put an illusion on himself. The level of growth he went through was not normal, he really didn't want to bother with the Ministry about him using 'Dark Rituals' to grow his body. His patience is on a all time low thanks to people creating so much trouble for him.
He was an introvert who just wants to study in his room at his core. Then go outside and use that knowledge to blow stuff up.
And he was stuck on an island with inbred magical morons.
He already was showing restraint by not blowing the place sky high. Especially with him messing around with nuclear materials. Unknown to Harry some governments are very confused as to why there have been so many explosions in desserts. Naturally they suspected each other first, but then it happened in desserts across the planet.
So it became obvious that this wasn't a military operation and concluded that terrorists around the world were testing weapons they had acquired
The supernatural factions saw this and they immediately decided it was an idiot arrogant magician. Because there are special areas for testing out magic. So its either some arrogant shit who thinks the rules of secrecy don't apply to him, or it was a moron who didn't know where the designated testing zones were.
Both were strangely accurate in Harry's case.

When he got back to his room, Hope was standing there with her arms crossed and her foot tapping the floor.
She looked like an angry wife that caught a hungover husband coming back home. " What took you so long? You barely even replied to my messages. What crazy shit have you gotten involved with no-w"
Hope's next words died in her mouth as her jaw literally dropped when Harry dismissed the illusion.
The first thought she had was 'Taller' then she looked at his face and built 'Hot'
Then Harry flicked his finger and an air projectile hit her in the forehead. "Don't project you thoughts like that" he deadpanned at her. He didn't even need to read her thoughts to know what she was thinking.
Thanks to Jane's experience, reading micro expressions and predicting thoughts was easier than ever.
"Ah" she shook her head. Hope was a girl in her teens and she was very much in tune with her werewolf side. When she saw Harry again without his illusion. She blushed, her cheeks were red like a tomato.
"Don't try to distract me! Why did you change so much. What kind of crazy stunt did you pull. Please tell me you didn't use Transmutation to make yourself older"
"Nope it was the ritual" Harry grinned at her.
"The Basilisk Ritual did this?" Hope immediately connected the dots. She was there when he killed the Basilisk, but this big of a change was completely unexpected.
Harry nodded almost gleefully "It was so worth going after that big ass snake."
'I'd say, the aura he gives off has changed and so has his scent' Hope took a sniff from the air. Harry's scent carried a bit of the Basilisk and there was something else. It confused her at first but then she remembered when she noticed this particular trait.
It was among the older students of Hogwarts. Specifically in the third year, teens going through puberty.
'Well about time. I was beginning to think Harry was delaying it with magic. I can see him avoiding puberty because it will make him more stupid. Boys shut their brains off when they see a pretty girl or anything involving adrenalin.'
In that moment Daphne, Astoria and Luna stepped out of Daphne's room. The girl looked tired, she was basically designated as the babysitter. Though she can't deny it feels good to see her little sister having a real friend and playing around.
But Astoria is a sugar does gremlin and Luna's strange ideas weren't helping Tori calm down. A few moments ago she decided she and Luna were going to hunt Crumple-Horned Snorkack. Whatever that thing was.
' He has grown.' Daphne noticed right away 'Is it the same as the drugs I was forced to take? No Harry wouldn't take something that will mess with his potential. '
"Wow!" Tori jumped up her eyes sparkling with awe "You are taller! And bigger! Did you make a new potion? Hey I think you look prettier. Can you make me big too?! I wanna grow big! Mmghmm" Daphne put her palm over Tori's mouth to shut her up.
Harry just shook his head "No I did not make a new potion. Potions like this exist and are shit. A man is handsome not pretty. No I will not make you bigger you will grow up with time"
Tori pulled down Daphne's hand and pouted "Awwww. Luna help me convince him. Double Pout Attack"
Tory pursed her lips, puffed up her cheeks and opened her eyes, silently starting at Harry with a sad and pitiful expression.
Harry just flicked her forehead "Try that on a gullible idiot like Sirius. That doesn't work on me"
Astoria rubbed her forehead and turned to Luna "Why didn't you help me Luna" she lightly shook her shoulder
Luna strangely ignored Tory and kept staring at Harry with a confused expression. There was something new around his head.
The color was red and silverish. the wisps of mist were red and circled around Harry's head, funnily enough they formed a shape that Luna recognized
'A knife?' Luna tilted her head 'Is Harry hungry, but I have never seen that color on people when they are hungry'
Hope noticed this patted Luna's head "You want some pudding?" before Hope could even finish the pudding was in Luna's hands and she had a big grin on her face "There is always room for more pudding"
Hope just sighed inward, the distraction was successful. She already knew what Harry was feeling, you didn't need have sharp senses to pick it up. It was in plain view. Harry's bloodlust.
'So he will be going for the ones who attacked the store. But this time I'm definitely going' Hope clenched her fist, she has been working on a Blood Ability like LIBRA once Harry told her about the werewolf Chain.
And she has been getting pretty good at it. Most of all she needs to fight, her battle experience is limited to sparring against Harry and Melinda.
' After all, what use are claws if I never get to use them on someone'

"Work Damn IT!" Sirius yelled at the magic circle that was forming in the air only to crumble and die out as if it was mocking him.
"Ahhhhh this is impossible!" Sirius grabbed his head and screamed out. This was a nightmare, it was bloody hard and hurt his brain.
"What kind of torture is this!? Why are there letters in math! It's an outrage! A scandal! They are teaching this to kids?! I'm going to complain to the government!"
SMACK
Andromeda came from behind and smacked him over the head
"Sirius stop acting like a child. It's not that hard, you just have zero ability to focus. You were a better student when you were in Hogwarts" she looked at him with a disappointed expression
"I didn't have anything better to do. Pranks and hot girls kept me motivated. I'm an adult now, its normal that we find it harder to study"
"Oh really?" Andy crossed her arms "Then why am I making solid progress and you are not"
Sirius looked at her with a serious expression and placed his hand on her shoulder "Andy... I don't know if anyone has ever told you this. But you are and will always be a big nerd, that doesn't change with age"
Smack. Smack. Smack
Sirius burst into laughter as she slapped him on the shoulder with a fed up expression on her face.
"I am not a nerd!"
BOOOOM
An explosion rocked the training area.
"Ahhhhh this is impossible!!!" Dora's scream was heard from the other room, soon after the door opened revealing a dirty and sooth covered girl. "I hate Magecraft! I hate Math!"
"Seee!" Sirius pointed at the poor girl "That's your own daughter, who should be getting this easier since she just finished Hogwarts. Yet even she doesn't get it. Face it Andy. You are a nerd"
Andromeda glared coldly at the old prankster before lifting her arm. A magic circle materialized in front of her
"Hey, calm down Andy. It was just a joke. We can talk this through" Sirius raised his hands in surrender and slowly started to walk away.
"Talk to this!" with a pulse of her magic a wave of water rushed out of the magic circle and engulfed Sirius.
"Uncle Siri!" Dora dived in to save the drowning man out of instinct.
Andromeda watched with a dumbfounded expression as her cousin and daughter swirled around in the water waves like they were in a washing machine. Neither of them used magic to get out and were trying to swim out instead.
She lightly facepalmed as she was realizing there was little hope for these two "Where did I go wrong with that girl?" Andromeda waved her and and the water vanished, leaving two soaked bodies on the floor. She left the room and headed to the bar. She wasn't drunk enough for this.
Dora and Sirius looked at each other with blank expressions "You are stupid, why did you upset Mum?"
"You are calling me stupid? You could have used a spell to get me out of the water, instead you jumped in"
"...Fair" Dora felt silent and then stood up "Want to go use Bombarda on some rocks?"
Sirius didn't even think about it "Lets grab some beers. This magecraft thing gave me a 'Sirius headache' " the man-child said with a wide grin making Dora snort.
"That was terrible."
"No it was Siriusly Terrible"
Dora used Agumenti on his face "Go grab the beers Uncle before I tell Harry you are slacking off"
Sirius paled "You wouldn't!"
"He likes me more than you. And I can always say my progress is slower because you keep distracting me with bad jokes. Hop to it doggo" Dora left the room with a big smile on her face.
Sirius just looked at his hands "Since when did I become the one who gets bullied all the time in this family"
He didn't get any reply to that question so with a sigh he dragged himself off to the kitchen to get some beers. Forgetting that he could just call a House Elf to do it.
