Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
Chapter XIX
Legoland Windsor was a child oriented theme park in Windsor, Berkshire in England, themed around the Lego toy system. Since the park actually targeted kids some of the rides weren't suitable for teen. But for Harry, who didn't want to shock Draco and the Weasleys who never step foot in the Muggle world, it was perfect. The park's attractions consisted of a mixture of Lego themed rides, models and building workshops. The park was split into a number of themed areas, incorporating various attractions, restaurants and shops.
Their first stop was Miniland which was a miniature park in Lego form, depicting towns and cities from around the world. The area featured a number of animated models, interacting with each other.
"The car moves!" Mr. Weasley exclaimed. "How do they do that?" he wondered in amazement.
Draco meanwhile was looking left and right. He simply couldn't believe this. This was greater than cinema! How the Muggle ever came with the idea?
"Motor vehicles use cables under the paths emitting radio wave signals to steer and allow charging when required and overnight." Hermione, who had been reading the brochure, explained to him.
"It is amazing!" Mr. Weasley replied excitedly.
They saw miniature of Millennium Bridge, a rotating London Eye, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Stonehenge and Edinburgh Castle. There were miniatures from other countries too.
The next area was Kingdom of the Pharaohs where they got in Laser Raiders, an interactive dark ride through an Egyptian tomb where visitors shoot targets to gain points. Fred and George got the highest score which they were proudly boasting.
At the Land of the Vikings area, they got into Loki's Labyrinth. As the name suggested, it was a maze which they had to navigate. Harry surprised everyone except of Sirius and Remus when he refused to enter the maze. He never liked maze since his fourth year.
"You go on," he said. "I will wait here."
The next rides they got on were Longboat Invader and Viking's River Splash. The teens played the latter one a few times until they all were wet. Sirius finally discreetly used his wand to dry them all.
"Let's try that!" Ron shouted, pointing at the Jolly Rocker, a giant pirate ship that swings eighteen meters high at Pirates Landing area.
Harry's favorite was the Dragon roller coaster. "Come on!" he said. "Let's try this one!"
Draco eyed the ride doubtfully. Was it safe to ride this thing? So far, he had been amazed by the whole thing. Amusement park was awesome. There was no other word to describe it. It was as if he was plunged into different world. The toys could move, emitting sound. Some even could emitting water and light. He didn't understand. The fact he saw in the last two days was far from the uneducated and uncivilized Muggle the pureblood always said about Muggle.
"Hey!"
Draco looked at Potter.
The teen was grinning at him. "It's called the Dragon! You have to ride this. It's obligation for you!"
"He must be afraid," Weasley said behind him.
Draco turned and glared at the weasel. "I'm not afraid!" he spat. And to prove his word, he marched to the ride.
Harry grinned at the blonde's behavior.
"Ron, you shouldn't bait him," Hermione said.
"So, what?" Ron asked, unconcerned.
"Come on guys," he said finally. "Can't leave Malfoy alone there."
Overall, it was amazing day. They were exhausted when the day finally ended but it was more than worth it. Fred and George especially were thrilled and by the gleam in their eyes, they were planning something. Harry wondered if their joke shop would also include amusement park.

After the trip to the amusement park, there was nothing left to do aside of shopping at Diagon Alley for their school things.
"Hey Harry!"
"Harry!"
"Over here!"
Ron and Hermione were already waiting for him in front of Florean Fortescue ice cream parlor.
"Hermione! Ron!" Harry ran to their direction. Behind him, Sirius and Remus followed.
"Where are the others?" he asked.
"Shopping," Hermione answered. "We decided to wait for you."
It was a new experience for Harry because in the original time, he didn't go for shopping in his fourth year. Since everyone feared about the Death Eater activity at the Quidditch World Cup. But this time, the situation wasn't that bad. And Harry was determined to make the best time out of this.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Finally the first September came. It was time for Harry to return to Hogwarts. And Sirius had prepared special vehicle for this.
Harry gaped at the red and gleaming Ferrari. "What the hell?" he croaked out.
"Ferrari 430 Scuderia." Sirius stated. "Cool, isn't it?" he said proudly. "I love my bike but it can't fit a lot of people."
"But this is only for two person!" he gestured to the two doors sport car hopelessly.
Sirius smirked at him. "Good thing we are wizard, right? Get into the car, Harry."
Dumbfounded, he entered the car only to find out that Sirius had used expanding charm so the car now had backseat that fit for five people.
"Arthur helped me charm the car too," Sirius said once he stayed behind the wheel.
Harry was almost afraid to ask. "And can this Ferrari fly too?"
"Oh, absolutely," his godfather replied cheerfully.
"I tried to stop him," Remus informed. "But it was no use."
Sirius drove like mad. In no time, they already arrived at the Station. But it actually wasn't that bad and Harry secretly enjoyed the high speed of the car.
The Weasleys and the Grangers were already there. Harry saw that Bill, Charlie and Percy were there too to say farewell to their younger siblings. And it was the first time that someone mentioned about the Triwizard Tournament. Between Quidditch World Cup and their trip to cinema and amusement park, the tournament was somehow forgotten.
"What is going on in Hogwarts this year?" Ron asked, confused.
"Triwizard Tournament." He replied.
"What was that?" Ron asked, frowning.
"The Triwizard Tournament is a magical contest held between the three largest wizarding schools of Europe which is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Durmstrang Institute, and the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic." He explained. "Selected Champions compete in three tasks designed to test magical ability, intelligence and courage, traditionally judged by the Headmasters or Headmistresses of the competing schools."
"Wow!" Ron said in awe.
Hermione frowned at them. "However, the Tournament is extremely dangerous, and Champions have died while competing. The Triwizard Tournament was discontinued when the death toll became too high." She said.
They were still discussing about the tournament when Neville and Luna showed up. "Hi Harry, Ron, Hermione," Luna said in dreamy voice.
"Hello Luna."
They moved to give Neville and Luna place to sit. Harry then proceeded to give them the souvenir he bought in Greece and Germany.
"Thank you Harry," Neville said shyly.
"It's really beautiful," Luna said, looking at her gold earrings. "Thank you Harry."
"You're welcome." He replied.
Ron who had paused because of the new arrivals demanded to know more about the tournament.
"But it's really dangerous," Hermione commented. "The contestants could be hurt or killed even!"
Ron ignored her.
It was about to rain heavily when they arrived at Hogsmeade station. The wind blew coldly.
"Come on," Hermione muttered, marching to the carriage nearest to them.
Harry was relieved when they finally arrived at Hogwarts, warm and safe from the storm brewing outside.
The only different thing in the welcoming speech that Dumbledore gave this year was the announcement about the Triwizard Tournament which set the entire hall buzzing. Even as they walked back to the Gryffindor tower, the tournament was the main topic of conversation. Ignoring them all, Harry settled into his bed. He closed the curtain, cast silencing and secrecy charm then contacted his godfather. After that he went to sleep.
The first lesson that day was Herbology. Professor Sprout showed them Bubotuber. They had the lesson with Hufflepuff student. The next lesson was Care of Magical Creatures. Since this time Hagrid was forced to consulate with Dumbledore for every animal he was going to show to the students it clearly wasn't a dangerous animal.
It was then Harry noticed the absence of Crabbe. There was Draco and Goyle but not Crabbe. Even though Lucius had said that he didn't kill Crabbe Senior but who knew what Lucius did to them.
"Hey," he said at lunch. "I don't see Crabbe at all. Wonder what happen to him…"
Ron paused from eating. "He's at Saint Mungo." He replied.
"Saint Mungo?" Harry asked.
Ron nodded. "Dad told me. There's fire in their house. Crabbe and his dad are hurt. But his Mum is alright."
So, that's what Lucius had done. Lucius most likely burn their house as revenge for the Fiendfyre both father and son had cast.
The next lesson was Ancient Rune for Harry and Hermione while Ron decided to stock to Divination for easy grade. Harry had surprised both of Ron and Hermione when he told them of his elective.
"Oh, Harry," Hermione gushed out. "I'm so happy. We can have class together."
Ron grumbled. "But why you want to do that?"
"I want to be an Auror," he explained. "Having knowledge about Rune will help greatly."
That caused Hermione to beam proudly at him.

The Great Hall was in uproar when Harry, Ron and Hermione entered the place the next morning. Hermione quickly deducted that the source came from Slytherin table, from Malfoy precisely.
"What is going on?" Ron asked, confused.
"Let's find out!" Hermione said. Judging from the way the students looked and whispered at each other with Daily Prophet in their hand, she had concluded that the explanation could be found in the newspaper.
Harry meanwhile had known what was all this about. Lucius had told him that the news would come out today.
"Merlin beard!" Ron exclaimed as soon as he read the headline.
"Malfoy's Marriage Annulled!" Hermione read aloud.
Even though divorce rarely happened in the pureblood society, it did happen some time. However, instead of divorce, it was called annulment. Annulment was a legal procedure for declaring a marriage null and void. Unlike divorce, it was usually retroactive, meaning that an annulled marriage was considered to be invalid from the beginning almost as if it had never taken place. Despite its retroactive nature, children born before the annulment were considered legitimate.
Harry turned to look at Draco. The blond was seated in Slytherin table, eating his breakfast calmly. The Daily Prophet lay in front of him. Lucius had explained about the separation to his son and Draco had accepted the decision. Although Harry doubt that Draco would stay calm once he found out who had replace Narcissa's position in his father's life. But then again, it still took years before he and Lucius planned to go public with their relationship.
Pureblood students who had heard from their mother, sister, aunt or grandmother already knew the reason behind the annulment and they wasted no time to share the rumor.
One of them was Livia Montgomery, whose mother was high up in the ministry. "I heard that Lucius plan to marry his lover so he annulled his marriage with Narcissa Malfoy." She told her best friend, Fay Dunbar.
"What?" Unfortunately, the rest of Gryffindor students also were very interested in the matter.
Livia blushed at the attention. "Uhm, my aunt is at the same circle with Narcissa Malfoy," she explained. "She told my mother that Lucius Malfoy has a lover and now he annulled his marriage so he could marry his lover."
"I've heard about it too," Cordelia McLaggen said. She was the younger sister of Cormac McLaggen who fortunately wasn't arrogant at all like her elder brother.
It was apparent that the students who had heard about Lucius' affair came from pureblood family who was in tuned with the gossip and rumor in the wizarding world. The gossip evolved that by Saturday morning; Lucius already married the said lover, divorced her and married another lover and had twelve children waiting to be the next Malfoy heir.
After breakfast, Harry went to meet with Lucius. He arrived at the familiar living room a moment later.
"Lucius," he greeted his husband.
As always, Lucius leaned down to kiss his forehead.
"You know," he began. "The whole schools talk about your separation. Each theory is wilder than before."
"It does raise question about the quality of Hogwarts students," Lucius remarked.
"Where are we going?" he asked once he noticed that Lucius had steered him to the fireplace.
"Malfoy manor," Lucius replied.
"Oh, wow." Harry said when they stepped out from the fireplace. The main hall where the fireplace was located was exactly like he remembered from the future.
"I had the whole manor redecorated." Lucius drawled.
He smiled. "It's amazing."
"And now, there is something I must do." Lucius continued.
"Hmm?" Harry looked at his husband, puzzled.
Lucius pulled out his wand and began chanting in Latin.
Harry, who now understood what Lucius was doing, stayed silent. He could feel the wards around the manor changing. The ancient magic washed over him, welcoming him into its embrace.
POP!
About a dozen of house elves appeared in front of Harry, looking at their new master with wide worshipping eyes.
Lucius stopped his chant with final wave of his wand. Harry could feel the wards tied to his magic now.
His husband smirked at him. "It's done, dear. You're now the lady of the manor," Lucius drawled in amusement.
