Roy returned to Valvas Mansion after his unforgettable stay with the Scamanders. The air of France felt like home now, filled with quiet grandeur and the familiar warmth of his family.
This month would be unlike any other.
Time with the Ladies and Albedo
Roy made it his personal mission to spend time with Venenala, Grayfia, Rem, Ram, Narcissa, Bela White, and Nagini—each in their own way, each special to him.
Venenala Bael: Roy took her to a lakeside French café, the water reflecting the late afternoon sun. They shared stories, laughter, and Roy, of course, stole a few kisses while walking along the shore.
Grayfia: A quiet evening at the opera, the lights casting a golden glow on her serene face. Roy watched her eyes sparkle during every performance, holding her hand gently between acts.
Rem & Ram: Twin chaos incarnate. Roy took them to a high-tech arcade, challenging them to wizarding mini-games and Quidditch VR simulations. Every victory was met with playful banter and soft kisses, making even the twins blush.
Albedo: A sophisticated day at the Louvre, followed by an exclusive wine tasting. Roy let Albedo lead the way in discussing art, occasionally surprising her with whispered compliments.
Narcissa Black: A luxurious shopping trip through Parisian boutiques, where Roy helped her pick gowns and accessories. They ended the day with hot chocolate on a balcony overlooking the Eiffel Tower, sharing tender smiles.
Bela White & Nagini: A dual date at a magical-themed amusement park, where dragon rides and enchanted fireworks lit up the night sky. Roy's laughter mingled with theirs, hearts lighter than they had been in months.
Each date ended with soft, lingering touches and whispered "goodnights," the moments between them growing richer and more intimate.
Trips to England
Between his French escapades, Roy often flew to England.
There, he spent time with Penelope, now in charge of the Liyue stores in Diagon Alley.
They explored magical marketplaces, sampling exotic potions and enchanted items.
Afternoon teas became regular, each filled with laughter and playful arguments about the best way to run the Liyue stores.
Occasionally, Roy whisked her away on secret dates—floating lantern rides over the rooftops of London, private dinners in hidden wizarding gardens, and late-night stargazing at Hogwarts grounds.
Penelope adored these moments, calling Roy her "mischievous principal," while he teased her about running the empire so efficiently.
A Month of Joy
By the end of the month, Roy felt a deep satisfaction:
Love and friendship strengthened.
Liyue stores flourished under his and Penelope's guidance.
Romantic bonds were nurtured without rush, each date leaving lasting memories.
Even amidst battles, political maneuvering, and legendary creatures, Roy carved out time for what mattered most: the people he loved.
And as the month drew to a close, Roy smiled, knowing the coming months would bring even more adventures, both in business, magic, and matters of the heart.
