Chapter 2-Home
Potter Manor (unplottable location)
Monday the 3d of August 1988
5:00 PM
With a loud thud Aurora fell to the ground on her back and in that moment, she decided she hated portkeys. After she got her bearings back she stood up and looked around. Behind her was a forest and in front of her a huge golden gate. She put a hand on the handle and after she was deprived of some more of her blood she got in. Immediately a loud pop was heard and something small barreled at her feet almost knocking her over.
'Oh Mistress Aurora is back! Muffin and Mopsey missed little missees' said a squeaky and loud voice.
So, these are the house elves she thought. Thank God Bloodtooth told her about them or she'd be very confused right now and probably a bit terrified too about those little creatures with their bat like ears and big eyes. They were wearing little togas with the Potter Crest, a lion and a sword on them. And they both seemed to be females.
'Hello Mopsey and Muffin, could you give me a tour of the estate and tell me what you do?'
'Yes missus I Mopsey is responsible for the kitchen and the care of the little ones and Muffin is for cleaning and gardening' Mopsey answered as they led her through the manor. And she was very impressed. It was a threes story home made of stone surrounded by trees, with large windows with red story's and two towers on both sides of it. The inside of it was somehow even more impressive. The general colour scheme of the house seemed to be earth colours and lots of ruby red. There were 12 rooms including the master bedroom, a huge kitchen with a large marble bench in the middle of it,, a ball room a formal and an informal dining room, two living rooms, 14 bathrooms, a potions lab, a training room, a play room and a huge library with comfy looking couches in it. There was also a storage room and an attic. She didn't know how everything fit here but she suspected magic. As she passed lots of paintings were introducing themselves to her in a frenzy
'Henry Potter the third your great grandfather dear Aurora',
'Helena Potter the greatest potioneer in the family, everything you need I'm here'...
The more she saw of her home the more she loved it. This was how a home was supposed to be like.
That night in her room as she laid in bed after eating a lunch made by the fusing Mopsey 'Missus is too thin, Mopsey will fatten Missus up', and being introduced to her home she decided to read the letter left by her parents. It was from her father,
Dear Bambi,
If you are reading this then it means your momma and I are dead and you are in the care of either of your godparents. I am so sorry for not being there for you but at least you reading this means that we succeeded in saving your life. You see your momma found an old lost ritual which we are going to use against the Dark Lord Moldyshorts. The details will be on the diary which comes along with the letters.
I know you'll miss us love but you'll have to know that we will always be with you in your heart. I know anything I'll say won't make much difference to the fact I am not there but I will just give you some advice. Have fun and prank as many people as you can but without being malicious about it-it was something I did once for which I am not very proud- so I want you to learn from my past mistakes. Make as many friends as you can but give your loyalty only to those who deserve it and earn it. Don't discriminate by house, it was another mistake I made in my youth that I regret, believing that all Slytherins were evil, your mother had friends there and later in life I found some too. They are just a house and you could find lots of great people in it. On that note don't care what everyone says you can be on whatever house you want even Slytherin and I'll still be proud of you.
I love you forever and ever,
Daddy.
Ps) Make the Marauders proud love- prank them all.
Aurora read the titles of the diaries, The Way of the Marauders and Lily's grimoire and fell asleep with tears in her eyes but a happy yet bittersweet grin on her face.
Hogwarts Castle, Scotland, Great Britain (Unplottable location)
Meanwhile in Hogwarts a certain headmaster won't learn of the disappearance of the girl-who-lived for at least a month and by then he won't be able to locate her until the time comes for her Hogwarts letter to be sent.
