HP: The Name's Constantine...

CHAPTER 14

-

In the end, he had been forced to enter the kid's zone of the party after Jacob and Celine "asked" him to watch after Daphne in case anything happens to her.

Pssh, they totally forced him to be their babysitter. Well, he was only going to check on her before dipping, so might as well see if there were any canon kids in there since, you know, Greengrass House was a Sacred Twenty-Eight.

Entering the kid's zone which was the one of the rooms next to the ballroom, he enters it before looking around. It was quite filled with kids of all ages, from 4 to 10, but no 11-and-above year old kids at all.

Right, Hogwarts and all other wizardry schools started a month ago.

Sensing someone running at him, he prepared himself as Daphne crushes into him.

"Johnny!"

She exclaims excitedly as she hugs him tighter.

"Princess."

He greets her as he carried her. Seeing her happy face made him smile slightly.

"Did you give me a present?"

"Of course I did — Hey, don't take it out!"

He grabs the hand that was reaching to his gun with a stern expression.

"What did I always say?"

She took a while to think before answering with a smile of her own.

"Kick baddies in the shin!"

"... Other than that."

What can he say? That was an effective way to deal with any stranger.

"Don't use guns in crowded areas!"

"Exactly. Now, care to introduce your friends?"

He asked as he noticed a few kids coming close to them both. Her expression goes a little cold as she introduced them with grace, this was her persona to deal with the higher hierarchy in the wizard world, her Greengrass persona.

"They are Tracy, Bones, Longbottom, and Malfoy."

He looked over at each of them, remembering Tracy slightly as Daphne's friend from the books while he promptly remembered the other two clearly.

Susan Bones, the niece of Amelia Bones, a very terrifying wizard with a frightening Stupefy, the Stunning Charm, and Descendo, the Descending Charm. Neville Longbottom, the other candidate for the Boy-Who-Lived, and Draco Malfoy, the bully that was brave enough to defect to the "good" side. Both were very prominent players in the board.

"Nice to meet you all, the name's John."

He introduced with a nod before Daphne started dragging him to her group of friends.

"Is this the wizard, Greengrass?"

Draco asked with a raised eyebrow as she nods.

"John saved me from Death Eaters."

That prompted "Oh"s and "Ah"s as he eyed on the rest of the room. There were 4 adult wizards looking after the kids, with a headcount of 12 kids in the room. There weren't any windows in the room, and the room had two entrances.

"T-Then you must have some magic learned?"

Neville asked with a stutter as Greengrass, Daphne's noble persona, had a confident look on her face.

"Show them some magic, John."

"As the Princess commands, then."

He joked with an air hat tip and a bow before commanding his Mana to grab the four kids up gently with Mana Tendrils, causing them to shriek as they were lifted a few centimeters in the air before placing them down.

"Ta-daa!"

He said with a grin as he let go of them, with Draco having excited eyes before he shifts back into his noble "mask".

"Impressive..."

"That was really cool! But how did you do it without a wand?"

"Y-Yeah! G-Grandma says that a wizard needs to use a wand to conduct magic..."

Tracy and Neville asked with a confused face as John wiggled his fingers, showing off his dexterity.

"Trade secret, kids."

"But you're a kid just as we are!"

Draco said with a snobbish voice to which John just chuckle at.

"Whatever you say, kid. Anyways, I should go now. I'll see you when your party starts, Princess."

Saying his goodbye, he waved as he exited the room.

"You know, now that I think about it, do I have a status sheet, Jeff?"

He asked as he took a piece of pudding from one of the tables with food.

He was asking this since the system had references to other wizards, so he was curious if he could see how well he could match with other wizards.

Name: Johnathan "Yeager" Constantine

Gender: Male

HP: 1000/1000

MP: 600/600

Age: 6

Race: British American

STR: EX

AGI: EX

END: EX

"What the fuck..."

EX? All his physical prowess are all EX grade!

"What is EX grade?"

x x x x x

EX status grade is when a status is higher than the norm. Since wizards do not exercise and work out, their physical parameters are lower than a normal person.

-

Example 1: Arthur Weasley's STR, AGI, and END are all C because he doesn't exercise at all. He instead uses potions to reduce the risk of high blood pressure.

In Mundane Human terms, his physical parameters are all E.

-

Example 2: Dumbledore's STR, AGI, and END are all S because he at least made an effort to exercise when free, because he believes that a healthy body equates to a healthy mind.

In Mundane Human terms, his physical parameters are all C while his mental parameter (INT) is still S.

"I see... And what are my parameters in Mundane Human terms?

x x x x x

In Mundane Human terms, the host's physical parameters are all A.

This is because 1, the host can still grow and thus increase his muscle density as time moves on.

2, host has reached peak human body mastery until the host reaches a higher age.

3, host has the potential to reach S grade physical parameters when older.

"Huh."

He looks at his arms before thinking to himself. He does have quite the body in terms of a 6-year-old, carrying 10 kilograms of items without any strain at all is quite superhuman-like...

[Meow!]

Morgana frowns in his shadow as she read the menu along with John. She was a little disappointed that even Dumbledore was stronger than she was in terms of everything, especially AGI since it was her strongest trait.

"Now, now, if we think logically for a second, you'd 100% beat the old coot."

That seemed to do the trick as she wasn't that disappointed anymore, instead, she was now smug at his remarks. What a confident cat.

After a while of observing the higher-classed nobles, and making sure that no assassination attempts were happening around the ballroom, eventually it was time for Daphne's birthday to begin.

It was quite bothersome to be honest, from the epic entrance of the birthday girl
with flamboyant magic, the numerous congratulations that the Greengrass family gets even after Daphne blew the candles on her cake and distributed it to everyone via House Elves, and the cake itself was huge.

He was so thankful to not be born in a noble house, the amount of manners and political crap that he would have to learn and do was just horrifying. He'd rather be a normal person than this.

Finally, after an eternity, it was time for the present ceremony to begin.

" — And from the Malfoy House... 500 Galleons!"

Jesus, 500 Galleons, that's almost fucking 25,000 dollars! For a birthday party of a 4-year-old? Damn, now he's taking his thoughts of not being a noble back, he wants free money!

"The Longbottom House... 600 Galleons!"

"Minister of Magic, Millicent Bagnold... 300 Galleons!"

"The Carrow House... 500 Galleons!"

... Oh... This wasn't just a flexing competition, this was like a bribe for the Greengrass family to join either the "Light" side and the "Dark" side! Dang, wizards were surprisingly smart.

After all the dick-comparing competition, it was time for the other noble houses' gifts to be presented. Eh... It went the same, though less exaggerated. Less money being tossed around and more magic items instead, like a perfume that never runs out of juice, that was cost-effective.

Now, it was personal gifts left, and he noted that Celine had taken his from the bunch before keeping it somewhere safe. Going through it quick, Daphne's face fell when she saw that John's gift wasn't on the table at all.

"Thank you all for coming to my daughter's birthday! May Magical Britain be as strong as ever in the coming future!"

"""AYE!!!"""

Seeing Celine signal him while he was monitoring the guests back to the Floo station, he walks over to her with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes?"

She then shoves him his present for Daphne before pushing him to her room.

"Good luck~"

She sings before him into Daphne's room, closing the door behind him. Staring at the door, he sighs before walking towards the bed where Daphne was, sleeping soundly.

He guessed that today was tiring for the 4-year-old, faking and acting to her best behavior and all that.

Putting her present on her nightstand near her bed, he sits on the bed, feeling the mattress sink down before looking at her. She was really cute sleeping. Her bright blond hair, her cute baby fat, and what makes a baby visually cute.

So, as any self-imposed older brother would do, he kissed her forehead.

"Happy birthday, Princess. Hopefully, you won't be involved in the 1990s' shitshow..."

He mutters before leaving the room quietly out of habit from his work, not noticing her opening her eyes once he closed the door to him room.
