Those years went by very quickly although when you're as old as Therin, these things seem to go by in the blink of an eye. He had started training Harry at the age of three in magic and he became very good at it very quickly he was a natural and he could use magic without the help of his staff which only served to increase his power at this point. He had accomplished the complete Hogwarts curriculum at eight and was well on his way to learning the advanced magic's of his and Therin's people. When Harry turned five he was given his first sword and commenced a physical workout however all of this ended every day at five o'clock and Harry was permitted to spend time with other children his own age because while Therin wanted the boy to be prepared he also wanted him to have fun and enjoy his childhood. Therin had informed the boy of the prophecy, which he had taken from the old man's (old by the standard of Harry's Realm anyway) mind, the day after his tenth birthday and he took it surprisingly well. Therin had wanted to wait longer but he knew that the longer he waited the angrier Harry would be when he found out.

The boy was quite a prankster too he'd gotten the majority of the high council at least once, not to mention his peers although he hadn't gotten Therin yet, although it wasn't for a lack of trying.

When Harry turned eleven, Therin began directly placing information into his mind he couldn't do this sooner due to his developing mind. He taught Harry things pertaining to potions and other obscure branches of magic such as Metamorphmagi occlumency and legimancy. While Therin had the ability to keep out other's or to enter other people's minds due to the great power of his people Harry didn't have this advantage and he knew that in the next few years Harry would be returning to his world and he would be damned if he would allow Albus Dumbledore to learn his secrets.

"Therin", Harry said. He entered into the study with a look of purpose on his face Therin knew exactly what he was about to ask him about. He had told him that on his twelfth birthday that he would explain the presence that was in his head and it was now a few days later. It was the last thing that he had kept Harry in the dark on except for things pertaining to himself. There were to many skeletons in his closet that he didn't want to revisit.

"Hello Harry"

"You promised, today is the day it's time for me to know what you have been keeping from me." Therin looked at the boy from where he was sitting. He was extremely muscular after his years of training and he was tall for his age. He had grown his hair a year ago after he gained his metamorphmagus abilities because he found that it made it more manageable. There was much more he had to teach the boy before the next year when he knew that he would be going to Hogwarts. Therin had already decided that he would take up residence in that realm so that his ward would be able to contact him if necessary, Dumbledore, he knew, would be trying to take control of his ward and he couldn't allow this.

Therin sighed, "I did didn't I." It was a rhetorical question. "You are aware that when I first retrieved you from the home of your relatives I went to many of the best magicians of your world to learn what I needed so that I could properly instruct you. However whenever I would try to move to my next destination you would attempt to pull me in another direction. I being the extremely curious person that you know me to be decided to investigate after my errands were complete. I arrived at a small building and I used your invisibility cloak as I entered. I continued up the stairs until I found a room with a small girl."

"Ginny", Harry Whispered.

Therin smiled and said, "Yes, her name was Ginevra Molly Weasley or Ginny for short. You two seemed to be drawn to each other in such a way that I have not seen for many years." Therin looked off for a second obviously reminiscing, about what though Harry could only speculate. "When I saw how closely the two of you were connected, your destiny's practically intertwined, I performed a ritual that has not been done since it was performed on me, one that would bond the two of you closer than anyone from your world ever has been."

Harry looked at his mentor his mouth wide open. It never failed, no matter how many things he was told and how many things he learned Therin continued to throw him a curve ball. He had researched bonds he knew that if one existed then he should have been able to tell that the presence in his mind was a person it didn't make sense by all rights they probably should have been able to communicate with each other.

"So what does this mean if we're connected on such a level why am I only learning about it now shouldn't we have been able to communicate from the moment the bond was performed."

"You were able to," Therin responded, "However as soon as I brought you into this realm the connection was drastically diminished. The missing presence caused you to cry for the next day even though you'd only had it for a matter of minutes. When I return you to your world the ability will flood to the both of you extremely quickly. However this would likely be very damaging so I will make sure to cast a spell to make it happen more gradually." Therin looked at his ward who seemed to be satisfied with the answers he had provided. For not the first time he was glad that he had blocked off the boys connection to the dark lord early while leaving the abilities that had been transferred to him. He had informed Harry of this after he told him about the prophecy.

Therin couldn't help but be happy that finally everything that he could tell Harry about his past had been told. As he watched Harry leave another thought occurred to him as well. 'Soon he thought, very soon I will be returning him to his world and there will be a lot of people wanting a lot of answers. I'll have to take him to see Black and Lupin before his third school year, I can't have Dumbledore influencing him when it comes to his parents and Sirius and Remus are the bet way around that.

'And what about the Muggles I have to make sure that he understands them the prejudices of his world cannot be allowed to influence him not that I'm worried he has a very level head but I want him to be able to make his defences well structured.'

Therin continued to think on this not knowing that he would have to return to Harry's world sooner than he's like because not even one day later a diary would be placed into Ginny Weasley's cauldron causing events to spiral out of Therin's control concerning Harry for the first time since he became his guardian.
