Ch140- Easter
Join my Discord!
In the heart of February, something exciting happened for Harry: he got the first batch of ingredients from the Greengrasses and Longbottoms. This marked the start of their new business venture. With a lot of excitement, Harry used the Virtual Potion Room's automated system to kick off making the potions they planned. After preparing several batches, he dispatched them using Misty Cargo Services. Cyrus Greengrass later informed Harry that they planned to amass a considerable stockpile of the enhanced potions before introducing them to the market.
While they waited for the perfect timing to launch, the atmosphere at Hogwarts shifted to the cheerful vibe of the upcoming Easter holiday. This was a time of joy and celebration, something Harry hadn't really experienced before because of his unpleasant time with the Dursleys. But now, he was eager to join in the fun, especially since Hogwarts always knew how to throw a good party.
"Ah, Easter at Hogwarts. I suppose you're expecting chocolate frogs to start hopping down the corridors any moment now?" Nigel commented, his tone dripping with feigned curiosity.
Harry, busy strategizing for the potion venture, couldn't help but smile at the thought. "That would certainly make for an interesting Easter hunt, wouldn't it? But I'm more interested in seeing what Hogwarts has in store for us. After all, a bit of celebration could do wonders for the morale."
Nigel, seizing the opportunity for a playful jab, added, "Yes, because nothing says 'spring is here' quite like a castle full of witches and wizards chasing after enchanted confectionery. Just be sure not to confuse a real frog for a chocolate one, Harry. The consequences could be... ribbiting."
Rolling his eyes at the prospect of engaging with any creature resembling a frog, Harry couldn't help but reflect on his recent encounter with an unpleasant official at the Ministry. "After meeting that dreadful woman at the ministry, frogs have officially lost their charm for me."
"Why, Master Harry, must you dredge up such traumatizing memories?" Nigel responded, his tone ripe with mock distress. "I had almost forgotten about our amphibian friends until you mentioned them."
One particular day, amidst the lead-up to the Easter holidays, Harry received an unexpected summons to the Faculty room. Upon entering, he found a gathering that spanned houses and years: Pansy Parkinson from Slytherin, Padma Patil and Cho Chang from Ravenclaw, Susan Bones and Cedric Diggory, along with Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown from Gryffindor and some other older students from each house. The room was also occupied by Professors McGonagall, Snape, Flitwick, and Sprout, all seated and looking rather official.
"Now that we are all here, let's begin," McGonagall stated, her voice carrying the same authority it did in the classroom.
After the professors dismissed them, Cedric led the group into an abandoned classroom to start planning the Easter Egg Hunt. The room, long forgotten by most, now buzzed with the energy of students from all houses, united by a common purpose.
Cedric, standing at the front with an air of confidence, began, "So, the first step is brainstorming. We need to think outside the box—magical eggs that truly represent our houses. But more importantly, we need to work together. This event is about unity, showing that all houses can collaborate for something great."
Susan, always inquisitive, raised her hand. "Why was the tradition paused in the first place?"
Cedric took a moment before responding, "Over the years, the houses grew apart. The sense of unity was lost, and it became difficult to organize events like this. But recently, there's been a change. We're seeing the houses come together more, especially this year. There's a stronger sense of community now." His eyes hinted at Slytherin's new inclusivity, a subtle nod to Harry's influence, though he didn't mention any names.
Parvati, curious, then asked, "Why aren't Fred and George Weasley involved? They seem perfect for this kind of mischief."
Cedric chuckled, "While their pranks are legendary, we need controlled chaos. The Weasley twins have a tendency to turn everything upside down. For this hunt, we want fun and mischief, yes, but we also want it to be an enjoyable experience for everyone."
