After Felix finished showing Angel his boxes of journals that she was curious about. He picked up a few older ones and flipped through them. From little remote control vehicles and batteries to even an arc reactor. There was even the option of a blueprint and outline of an Iron Man themed suit.
The thought of making an exo suit sounded fun, but the investment was too heavy. Hence, Felix just tossed it to the side like many of his other ideas. While the thought of selling his idea was more of a fleeting thought since who would believe and invest in a child. So he just ended up tossing his various journals aside since if he even managed to sell, it would be for scrap money while the buyer would rake in mountains of money.
"There aren't many books about magic here." Angel said, almost disappointed. "Mostly muggle tech or toys."
"I didn't really bother with writing or looking into magic until I went to Hogwarts." Felix replied. "If I recall correctly I wrote about breeding phoenixes and some cute mini dragons a few years ago. Then I never did much because my skill in using magic blocked it from pushing forward."
"You do know breeding dragons is illegal without a permit and a dragon reserve right?"
"Those are normal dragons, the mini dragons I wrote grow in various sizes from a rat terrier or golden retriever." Felix explained.
He dragged his finger along his bedroom bookshelf for a moment. Not finding what he was looking for, he walked over to his desk and opened the cabinet next to it and began to look through them. Where he finally pulled out a journal with Phoenix and Dragons written on it.
"Speaking of which, the mini dragons project would take about five to ten years or so to work and quite a bit of money. While the breeding of a phoenix could be done in a year or so." Felix replied. "Should we make it this year's project? I don't think the Headmaster will object to it and it shouldn't cause issues like the Philosopher's Stone."
"Is it even possible?" Angel asked, sounding interested.
In the wizarding world, very few have phoenixes, with the two most famous are Fawkes and Sparky, which Fawkes is related to Albus Dumbledore and the other was the mascot for the New Zealand Quidditch team. There are also a very few wizards and witches who are friends with them. Mr. Ollivander, who Felix and most Hogwarts students buy wands from, is friends with a phoenix named Pyra.
So the idea of being able to breed a phoenix and possibly have one as a friend and pet interested Angel greatly. There is also the added bonus of phoenix feathers which is worth quite some money and useful as a wand core. While also phoenix tears that held a very impressive healing ability that is said to be able to bring a person back even from the brink of death.
"Yeah, just the most troublesome thing is getting a flame of Gubraithian Fire level or better." Felix explained. "Luckily, I have a few ideas on how to make such a flame."
"I think I remember my brother and his friends wanting to learn this magic? However, he gave up as it was a very difficult magic to cast." Angel racked her head.
"It is advanced, but not unachievable." Felix winked. "My spell casting isn't quite there yet, but who says there is only one way to achieve it. I don't see why we can't use magic circles to achieve it."
"Then it's decided, we will breed phoenixes at Hogwarts this year." Angel got pumped.
Felix just nodded to this statement as he thought of a phoenix ability to carry and teleport. If he had a phoenix, he could move about the castle easier. It would also be simpler than learning to teleport as it turns out to be a bit difficult in learning.

"Have a good time and I will see you in a few days." William patted Felix's shoulder.
"Yes, dad." Felic said.
While the two were saying goodbye to each other, Fleamont held up his wand in hand. Then with an excited boom, a triple decker bus appeared before them. Where a young man, probably two or three years out of Hogwarts waved them aboard.
Felix followed Angel on, where he saw Fleamont dropping the money into the man's hand. He wondered how much it cost, but he didn't hear and soon found a seat next to Angel and her father. Where he saw a few beds nearby and then a sudden jolt as the bus took off.
"Are you ok, Felix?" Angel asked.
"Yeah, but this bus could use a bit of tuning. The sudden take off and stop is a bit hard to adjust to." Felix replied. "Speaking of transport, it would be interesting to bring no-mag ideas in their fantasy works to life."
"Oh, like what?" Fleamont asked.
Felix held his chin for a moment trying to think of something. He has a few ideas that crossed his mind such as Sky-sailing Ships and Living Airships. Then there were a few land ones like riding a giant pig or a moving castle.
"If I had to name an interesting one, it would be a floating island. Another would be a Nautiloid Ship. The Nautiloid Ship is a large sea-like looking creature that is supposedly able to transverse through space." Felix tried to explain the little he knew about them.
"A flying island?" Angel asked. "Would there be any point to a flying island?"
Felix just shrugged as he didn't really know either. "Well, we could use magic freely if we made a large-scale one and built a wizard village or school on it. Since we won't need to worry about non magical stumbling into the area, it is possible to make a few sections to raise magical creatures, grow various magical herbs and so on."
"It is interesting, but as far I know, it isn't possible. Even making something float on its own without a constant supply of wizards or witches channeling their focus on it can be done." Fleamont said.
"Just because it couldn't be done in the past doesn't mean it can't be done in the future. There is more than one way to achieve the effect with magic." Angel puffs her chest out happily.
'Why do these words sound very similar to the ones I said earlier?' Felix wondered lightly to himself.
"Well, I guess so." Fleamont nodded.
"Also, I believe if Felix is in charge of the project it can be done." Angel nodded.
Fleamont and Felix, "...".

The Knight Bus soon arrived at the destination that Fleamont mentioned and the three got off. It was a small village, where little activity was going on and besides a few children who played happily. Most were either inside or had their heads down quickly moving through the streets.
"Due to the war, even the muggles that live in the area also feel the heavy mood of the magicals." Angel whispered to Felix.
'It makes sense. She lives on the outskirts of Godric Hallows which is home to many magical and non magicals. If many of the residents seem to live in fear or are very cautious, others will unconsciously follow even if they don't know what is going on.'
While thinking of this, Felix followed Angel and Fleamont on a stoney path as he looked around. Spotted along the path were a few old houses, many with vines and overgrown shrubs surrounding it. A few older witches and wizards would peek out from time to time and wave to Fleamont.
After a short while, they finally arrived at a nice looking house, where an older woman welcomed them back. Behind her, Felix saw both James and Sirius who both had a mixture of emotions on their faces. Since the last time they really met was when they fought.
"You must be Felix." The woman said warmly.
"Yes, madam." Felix replied politely.
"Oh, don't be so polite. Come on in, it is so nice for you to come."
