"Ok this is trial ten using a reverse of the wording." George arranged the stuffed animal on the platform.
"It's still not going to work." Harry shook his head.
"How do you know?" George huffed at him.
"It's not here." Harry said, "If you sent it back in time two minutes, we would have it."
"But it can't come back if I never send it." George pointed out.
Harry threw up his arms and moved away. George took a deep breath and let it out slowly before he raised his wand.
"Tempore retro!" he yelled and with a flash of light the animal disappeared, "It worked!"
"But when and where did it go?" Harry asked, "All you're doing is sending it somewhere other than here. Before we can increase the size of what we're sending we need to know when and where it's going."
"Fine burst my joy bubble." George sighed and sat down, "What do we do now?"
"Why is dark magic dark?" Harry asked.
"Because it hurts." George pointed out.
"A levitation charm can hurt if I drop you off a cliff." Harry offered with a smirk, "I'm just saying that a dark spell is dark because the intent. For instance, the killing curse was developed by a healer to stop the pain of patients that couldn't be healed. They fueled it with compassion it made an easy painless death, Death eaters use hate to fuel it causing a painful death and a grimace that stays on their face."
"How is that going to help?" George asked confused.
"It's all about the intent." Harry explained, "Now see this empty box? I'm going to put it over here across the room from where you've been working. Now conjure another stuffed animal and make it unique."
"How's this?" he handed over an orange dragon with silver wings as they traded places.
"Now if I'm right this dragon will already be in the box. I'm going to concentrate on it going back thirty seconds and putting it in that box as I say the spell." Harry explained.
"Ok give it a shot." George looked into the box as Harry performed the spell.
"Tempore retro!" he called and the dragon disappeared in a flash of light.
"It's here but it didn't show up until after your flash of light." George stated with a sigh, "Maybe it takes more than a spell."
"What are you proposing?" Harry asked.
"Sand from a time turner?" George shrugged, "It's just too bad the ministry doesn't have the turners any longer."
"They don't." Harry grinned, "But they do have the sand."
"How do you know?" George asked.
"Croaker told me when they asked me to join the unspeakables." Harry shrugged, "He wanted me to help them remake the turners."
"Did you say no thank you because George and I are working on a spell to replace them?" he chuckled as he took a seat.
"No." Harry chuckled along, "I still don't know how to go about getting some for us."
"I'll ask Ron to get us some." George said thoughtfully, "He's an auror now."
"I didn't realize he was done with training." Harry grabbed his cup of tea, "I thought it took more time."
"Usually does." George agreed, "They need people so badly they're doing the minimum for those with some experience, then putting them in the field and giving them an older auror as a mentor."
"I'm sure he'll tell me about it tonight." Harry smiled, "We're going to dinner so I can tell him how the trip went."
For the last month Harry had visited all the magical governments of the world with a plea for help. Several of the Death eaters had been able to escape to other countries and the UK was finding it difficult to apprehend them. He had provided a list of the missing death eaters and asked the other governments for help.
"Well I'm glad you're back." George lifted his tea cup up in a salute, "It's been far too quiet with only me in the store."
"And here I thought you were busy dealing with customers." Harry laughed, "All the time you were just sitting around in the quiet store moping."
"Ha, funny." George shook his head.
"Ron sounded pretty cheerful when I called this morning." Harry offered a change of subject.
"He's making an effort." George sighed, "But, I don't know if he'll ever get over her. Kingsley said they had to stun him when they brought in Yaxley. He was going to kill him with his bare hands."
"I don't doubt it. I'm just glad my trip was fruitful so quickly." Harry nodded, "I can't imagine anyone wanting to let those murderers stay in their country. I don't remember if anyone else was hurt when he killed her."
"A couple of muggles." George answered, "I think those countries looked everywhere hoping to be the first one that made the Man Who Kicked Volde's arse happy by catching one of his criminals."
"Hermione was at her parent's business getting their personal stuff, wasn't she?" he asked, ignoring his knew nickname.
"Yes, the muggles had bought it." He added, "Kingsley said Hermione put up a good fight. Yaxley was questioned under Veritaserum and said it took a couple weeks before he could be completely healed."
"Good, have they held the trial yet?" he asked.
"No." he replied and they were quite for a while before they continued working on new inventions.
That evening Harry and Ron had dinner and talked for a long time. They talked about Hogwarts, their time on the run, the battle and Harry's trip. Finally, they talked about the spell that he and George were trying to develop. Ron promised to do what he could and they left.
