Phobius smiled softly to Hermione, taking the necklace and kissing her lightly on the lips in thanks - he wasn't going to start making out with her right in front of his mother, since Eris would probably use it as teasing material or something. Harry similarly took his own invitation and opened it, starting to read it silently, though it was pretty much the same as the other invitations: You are hereby invited to the Primal Glade as a guest of Mitis Rapax Ignis. We wish to see exactly what sort of people our brother has befriended. Come at your own convenience.
The Druidic Circle
P.S.: Injuries may occur in the Primal Glade, including but not limited to: being torn apart and fed to sharks, being sent to the Earth's core by angry burrowing animals, being taken hundreds of feet in the air by birds of prey and abruptly dropped, and being spit-roasted and/or eaten alive by a dragon. To minimize the risk of such injuries, it is recommended that you respect the rules of the Glade and avoid insulting and/or attacking its denizens.Harry paled slightly at the small print, quickly trying to take his mind off it. "Er, what's the Druidic Circle?" he asked instead. "Voldie have Death Eaters, Dumblies have Order of Phoenix. Ages before any of that, Great Mother have Druidic Circle," Mitis answered cryptically.

Katherine smiled before saying, "This sounds cool. When can we go? And Primal Glade? What is that?" She asked Mitis. "And just a warning, anything that hurts Harry in that place will answer to me." Katherine said as her eyes flashed animal-like. Sorren looked at his mistress worried. He hooted to Deva asking if she knows if Katherine did anymore experiments on herself. Hermione smiled to Phobius grateful he didn't make out with her in front of his mom and hers. She would of been embarrassed.

"Like it say, when convenient,"[/red] Mitis explained amicably. "Can head over today, or in a year or so. Up to you. Just no forget invite - wards chew you up and swallow you otherwise." He paused, then added as an afterthought, "No, seriously - wards carnivorous. As for other bits, Primal Glade is Primal Glade - place of nature. Minions should be fine as long as follow Glade's one rule: keep presence of Light and Dark magic to minimum, and no casting too powerful Light and Dark spells. We no discriminimate like Dark or Light, but part of what keep Primal Glade special is that it free of all Light and Dark magickses and have lots of Primal Magic - sort of like sacred ground, but minus religion. Minions respect, yes?" The tone he used was pleasant, but there was a definite gleam in his eye that indicated they'd follow the Glade's one rule and like it.
Harry nodded quickly; the look Mitis was giving them caused some long-forgotten part of the human psyche to metaphorically scream in terror and wet itself.

"I'm fine with the rules but like I said, Harry gets hurt all bets are off. But we can try to go in the summer. It will give us an excuse that not have Harry got back to his soon-to-be dead relatives." Katherine said keeping the invite in her new cloak. Hermione looked at Phobius, "I'll go if you go." She said.

"I'll probably be going; I'm rather curious about what sort of people raised Mitis," Phobius answered; besides, he wanted to see what other Primal Magic users were like. "Eh, Minion Scarface be fine - others about as bloodthirsty as Mitis." Mitis chirped; of course, the big-a** sledgehammer/mallet he had over his shoulder (as always) and the feral grin he was still giving them did not exactly inspire confidence in his supposed lack of bloodthirstiness. Phobius paused and stared at Mitis warily, having not forgotten his friend's little venture into cannibalism years back. "...And now I'll probably also be coming to make sure Harry and Katherine don't end up eaten."

"I more interested in the Primal Magic. I would love to unlock more animals and maybe even magical ones. But really I could ask them what did they lose humanity wise so I could prepare myself." Katherine explained. Sorren fluttered from his spot next to Hedwig to Katherine's shoulder careful of Deva. "I am just worried about that tiny warning. Though I am coming along. Who else will help out Phobius with you two." Hermione said to Harry and Katherine. Katherine pouted at her.

Mitis tilted his head slightly to one side. "Well, only High Druids there often outside of special meetings, and being High Druid is different from being standard Primal Magic user," he noted idly. "To be High Druid, you no just give up humanity - you give soul entirely to one aspect of Great Mother. Also, can only be six High Druids at one time: The Seacaller, the Skyrider, the Earthshaper, the Firesinger, the Herbologist, and the Anybeast. Granted, there exceptions every now and then - Great Mother like to make exceptions, keep High Druids on toes." He then grinned cheerfully. "But no hurt to ask! Now, Mitis believe Mini-Mes are next?"Phobius nodded in agreement with Hermione, though inwardly he was rather puzzled - something Mitis said was ringing a faint bell in his memory... then he blinked as Mitis's last words registered, and he turned, quirking an eyebrow. "I thought it was Demetri that was your 'Mini-Me'?""Well, yes, but Mitis not want other two to feel left out, and besides, more is better! Buuut, to avoid confusion..." He pulled out three rather impressive-looking badges labeled "Mini-Mitis 1", "Mini-Mitis 2", and "Mini-Mitis 3". Harry blinked uncertainly. "Er... is it really a good idea to have them idolize a pyromaniac?" he asked Katherine hesitantly, his brain getting distinct mental images of Mitis walking through London with a legion of impressionable little kids trailing behind and leaving chaos in their wake... and arson. Oh Merlin, the arson.

Katherine thought about it. She wondered if Great Mother would grant her the power without becoming a High Druid. She wasn't interested in becoming one. She smirked at Harry when he expressed his concern. "Don't worry, Harry. They are still my little brothers and no matter what they idolize me first. Demetri likes fire so of course he would love Mitis. Jasper and Mathew though, I think they like you and Phobius. But for now, let's just give them their presents." She said kissing his cheek sweetly before picking up three gifts. Her little brothers happily went to her. Katherine hugged them before letting them open their gifts. Demetri opened his and cried out taking out the glass ball Katherine charmed to have a constant flame in it. The fire changed colors to his mood. The glass ball shrunk and formed in to a necklace for him. "It's charmed to hid from non-magical people. Those that don't know about the magical world. It works like my pendent so you can send me messages and I can track you down." He also got stuffed owl. The other two got glass ball necklaces. Mathew had water that changed the same way as Demetri's and Mathew got a stuffed cat. Jasper got a crystal and a stuffed dog. The three thanked her and kissed her cheeks. They gave her a charm for her new charm bracelet.

"Still, I'm not entirely convinced that even idolizing him second is a good idea," Harry mumbled, but nevertheless let it drop and handed over his own gift for the kids: three coupons for a free ice cream at Fortescues, one for each of them. He would've gotten them something better, but he didn't know them anywhere near as well as Katherine did, though he figured that would probably change eventually. Phobius, on the other hand, handed over the toy brooms that he'd bought the trio, mentally noting that they'd probably run outside and try to fly like their big sister; if nothing else, he supposed he could use the opportunity to show Katherine and Harry his flying skills, since he hadn't gotten a chance to at Hogwarts.

Hermione got the three basic books on magic. She didn't want to give them too much to start with. Katherine shrugged at Harry. The three boys smirked at each other before rushing out to try their brooms. Quickly, Katherine followed with her broom. "Boys!" She shouted worried. The three were in the air by the time they got out. Katherine soon followed.

Phobius smirked in amusement before glancing over at Harry. "Well, since the gift-giving seems to be over by decree of the Terrible Trio, we might as well join them; no point in letting them have all the fun," he noted, slipping the necklace Hermione had given him around his neck and giving his girlfriend one last kiss on the cheek before heading outside with his broom in hand; he would have invited Hermione, but he figured that the broom's reaction to her in the flying lessons had nothing to do with her magic and everything to do with a desire to stay ground-bound. Once outside, he smoothly mounted his broom and went airborne with instinctive grace that would make even professional Quidditch players envious, almost as if he were born flying. He then flew among Katherine's brothers, calmly correcting various errors they made in their flight.

Katherine also flew with her brothers giving them pointers. She watched to back sure they would be ok. Sorren flew next to her. Hermione smiled up at them from the ground. She looked at harry, "You going to join them, Harry? Or are you going to try to use that magical camera I gave you?" She asked. The bookworm wanted to help him take as many pictures as he wanted.

Harry blushed slightly. "Well... I was kind of hoping to have the first picture be of me and Katherine, or at least of Katherine. Not because I don't want you guys in the pictures or anything," he added quickly, "But, well... she's my girlfriend, and, well, I wanted the first picture to be special..." He blushed a little harder, his blush plus his shyness about the matter plus his natural innocent tendencies combining for a rather adorable expression. Once Phobius had watched for a bit and was confident the boys had a good handle on the brooms and wouldn't be hurting themselves, he glanced over at Katherine with a small smirk, pulling a surprisingly familiar dull silver ball from his pocket - some sort of Snitch variant, apparently. "Care to see who the better Seeker is?" he challenged coolly. "Admittedly, I prefer Keeper and Beater, but I do dabble in the other two positions from time to time."

Katherine sat back on her broom once she gave her brothers a couple more looks. She turned to Phobius. Smiling, "If we're going to do this, are we going to wager something?" Katherine asked having no problems facing off Phobius. He gave off the vibe of being good at different positions than Seeker but Katherine liked the idea of playing with him. She looked down to her broom. Cottonmouth held her up with not problems. Hermione giggled, "It's no problem, Harry. Just be sure to tell Katherine this. Maybe you can get her as she is flying?" The witch suggested.

"Only if you want to," Phobius answered calmly. "Personally, I'm willing to settle for the satisfaction of knowing that I managed to beat my own House team's Seeker at her own role." ...Hey, he may not have been intending to take her position next year (he preferred to be a Keeper), but that didn't mean he didn't want to establish who the better Seeker was... and maybe, just maybe he was still a little irritated about not being able to show off his own flying skills at their flying lessons just because the brooms didn't like him. Harry looked rather relieved that she wasn't offended by it or anything, nodding. He grabbed his broom, flight and intending to ask Katherine to be his first picture... well, maybe after a little flying with her... "Is this a private contest, or do you have room for one more?" he joked.
