A New Horizon for Staros - The Southern Islands
The late afternoon sun cast a golden glow over the waters as Harry stood on the southernmost edge of the Staros continent, gazing out at the cluster of islands that dotted the horizon. The waves lapped gently at the shore, and the breeze carried the scent of salt and distant lands. These islands had caught Harry's eye for some time now—untouched and ripe with potential.
"Time to see what we can do with these," he muttered to himself, summoning his broom with a flick of his wrist.
As he soared over the waters, Harry could already envision what each island could become. His mind buzzed with ideas of elegant resorts, sprawling summer homes, and even places where everyday witches and wizards could find a peaceful getaway. It was time to bring his vision for these southern islands to life.
The First Island - The Summer Oasis
The first island Harry touched down on was breathtaking, even in its untouched state. It was large, with rolling hills, stretches of white sandy beaches, and crystal-clear waters. The air was warm, and the gentle rustling of palm trees whispered promises of relaxation and tranquility.
"This," Harry said aloud, "is where the wealthy will come for their summer escapes."
He immediately began sketching ideas in his enchanted notebook. The Summer Oasis, as it would be known, would cater to the highest of society. The finest magical architects and designers would be brought in to create a world of luxury, with mansions nestled into the hills overlooking the sea.
The beaches would have private cabanas with enchantments for perfect weather and privacy, while the villas themselves would feature enchanted pools, automatic house-elves for impeccable service, and gardens filled with rare magical plants. Each home would have its own protective wards, ensuring that only the wealthiest, most influential figures could call this island their home for the summer months.
"This will be a sanctuary for those who seek the highest class of living," Harry mused as he walked along the beach. "A place where luxury and magic come together seamlessly."
The Second Island - Seabreeze Condos
From the Summer Oasis, Harry moved on to the second island. It was smaller than the first, but no less beautiful. The beaches were equally pristine, and the center of the island featured a forest of lush, tropical greenery. But where the first island had felt exclusive, this one felt more open—more accessible.
"Not everyone can afford the Summer Oasis," Harry thought as he strolled through the island's landscape, "but they still deserve a beautiful place to retreat to."
Thus, Seabreeze Condos was born. This island would be a more affordable option, with magical condos built along the beach and the hills. These wouldn't be as extravagant as the villas on the first island, but they would still offer comfort and style for those looking for a seaside escape.
Harry envisioned a community where families could come to enjoy the sun, sand, and sea, with enchanted walkways connecting the condos to charming cafes, local shops, and public beaches. There would be community pools, enchanted to never get too crowded, and magical recreation centers for activities like broomstick sports and enchanted watercraft rentals.
"An island for everyone," Harry thought with a smile. "A place where anyone, regardless of wealth, can enjoy a magical holiday."
The Third Island - Coral Springs Resort
Harry's broom led him to the third island, smaller than the first two but no less beautiful. The island was surrounded by coral reefs that shimmered just below the surface of the water, glowing faintly with magical energy.
This island would become the Coral Springs Resort, a place for relaxation and rejuvenation. Harry imagined high-end magical spas, where visitors could indulge in healing treatments with enchanted waters and herbal remedies. The resort would also offer underwater experiences, where guests could explore the coral reefs using special charms to breathe and swim underwater, gliding effortlessly among the sea life.
Magical creatures like Gulping Plimpies and Water Nymphs would be part of the island's attractions, adding to the charm of the Coral Springs. With its natural beauty and calming energy, this resort would be a place where both the rich and the middle class could escape their busy lives and find true relaxation.
The Fourth Island - The Sunset Pier
The last island was the smallest of them all, but its location was perfect—it was situated in such a way that it caught the most breathtaking sunsets over the horizon. Harry could picture it immediately: a cozy, coastal village vibe, with long piers extending into the sea where visitors could watch the sky melt into oranges, pinks, and purples every evening.
The Sunset Pier would be more intimate, designed for those who sought tranquility over grandeur. There would be small cottages built along the coastline, all facing the sunset, with cobbled streets lined with quaint magical shops and cafes. Visitors could stroll through the town or simply sit at the piers, enjoying a drink while watching the sun disappear into the sea.
"This will be the heart of relaxation," Harry said, feeling the magic of the place already weaving into the air. "A place to unwind, to slow down, and to watch the world go by."
Bringing It All Together
By the time Harry had finished his exploration, his mind was alive with excitement. These islands would become destinations of peace, luxury, and relaxation for witches and wizards from all across Staros—and perhaps even from the other continents.
Back at his manor, Harry spread the map of the southern islands on his desk, drawing lines and marking down ideas. Each island would serve a different purpose, but together they would form the southern heart of Staros, a haven for relaxation and escape.
He called a meeting with the magical builders, architects, and designers the next morning to share his vision. As they gathered around the map, Harry explained the grand plan for the islands: high-class summer homes on the first island, condos on the second, a magical resort on the third, and a peaceful sunset retreat on the fourth.
"Each island," he said, "will offer something unique. We're creating more than just homes and resorts—we're creating a magical paradise for all who visit."
With his plans laid out, the southern islands were set to become some of the most sought-after destinations in Staros.
