Chapter 2
Harrys Stomach turned as they landed in the hallway of an old house. The room they were in was huge Harry didn't know what to make of it.
It had white marble walls with black marble accents. The floors looked to be black marble with sliver flakes.
There were a few paintings on the walls but Harry couldn't make out what they were of.
Harry looked at his aunt and asked "Aunt Petunia where are we?"
"We are at Evens manor Harry it was your grandmother's home before she married your grandfather." Petunia said with a small smile.
"Let's go find the sitting room so we can finish our talk and I can show you what's in these boxes ok?" Petunia asked.
"Ok." Both boys said at the same time.
They walked into a room right off the entrance room.
The room was done in calming colors of light creams and pal yellows the couches and chairs were white with light yellow throw cushions on them.
There was a huge marble fire place. On the walls were again pictures Harry figured the people in them were his family on his mother's side seeing as none of them were moving.
"Now Harry I know where you are coming from seeing as my dad isn't really my dad and I just found out an hour ago that my real dad is dead it's a lot to take in.
But man if I can then I know you can it still hurts I know but at least you know your dad is alive. Right?" Dudley said trying to get Harry to see that it wasn't as bad as he thought.
Harry thought about what Dudley said and decided to tell his aunt and cousin the truth about everything.
"Aunt Petunia, Dudley there is something I need to tell you and I don't really know how to say it but my life hasn't been the best outside of what you know.
You see I have a murder after me and will kill anyone that is close to me including you two." Harry said looking down at his feet.
He found himself hoping they wouldn't leave him after all they talked about and was shocked to find that he was starting to like the new sides of his aunt and cousin.
Petunia looked at Harry and said "No matter what Harry we are not going to leave you by yourself you need us and we need you.
And anyways he has been after me for longer than he has you see after he killed your mother he tried to find me and I thank god now that you were placed on my steps that night or else he would have killed me and Dudley.
I don't care what he does to Vernon. Besides I have divorce papers lying on the bed already signed by me and Vernon.
All though Vernon didn't know what he was signing as I told him it was for Dudley's schooling." Harry looked shocked he never knew that Voldemort was after his aunt as well.
He promised himself right there that he would make sure his aunt and cousin was safe no matter what.
Dudley was looking at Harry with a different expression on his face Harry didn't know what to make of it but knew that Dudley would soon tell him what he was thinking.
"Harry don't worry I am not going anywhere your my family and I won't back out on you." Dudley said.
Harry looked over at his aunt and said with a smile on his face "I guess I will be alright with the fact that Snape is my real father after the shock is gone but I don't think he will like the fact."
Petunia giggled and Dudley gave a smile to Harry glad that he was going to be ok with everything so far.
He looked at his mom and said "Can we see what's in the boxes now please?" Harry was looking at her as well nodding his head that he wanted to see as well.
"Well ok. Harry the top box is for you its stuff that belonged to your mother and James along with some stuff that your mother had of your real father's.
Also there are 3 trunks in there that are shrunk down so you will have to wait until your birthday to open them." Petunia said to Harry.
" Now Dudley the bottom box is for you it is what belonged to me when I was in Hogwarts.
It also has some stuff your real father had giving me that I thought would be good for you to have also there is stuff in there that Vernon gave to me when we were married.
Along with 3 trunks that are shrunk down to fit into the box now sadly dud you will have to wait until your birthday next week to open them that is when your glamor will wear off.
Harry I forgot to tell you your mother said in her letter to me that if for some reason she was to die that your glamor would wear off a week after you found out who your real father was.
So I am thinking around duds birthday is when you will look like the person you really are. Now duds I would like it if you would wait until Harry's birthday that way you can open the trunks at the same time.
Also I have no idea what is in them so if you don't mind I would like to be there when you open them. Ok?" Petunia said looking at the boys with hopeful eyes.
"I am fine with that aunt Petunia I would like it if you were here when I opened mine that way if I have any questions you can answer them." Harry said.
"I agree with Harry mom." Dudley said.
Harry got up and got his box. While Dudley did the same.
After sitting his box down in front of him Dudley opened it.
And in side was the three trunks taking them out and putting them aside for safe keeping he started to go through the stuff in the box.
There were stock bonds and shares of all kinds in his name.
Somewhere ready to be cashed in now and other when he was 19.
Under the bonds and shares was a little trinket box.
He opened it and inside were men's earrings and cuff Links
Also a ring that looked to have some kind of crest on it.
After closing the trinket box he sat it with the trunks and bonds.
He looked into the box and there was a small motorbike along with a helmet and riding gear.
He took it out and looked at Harry and his mom and asked "What is this?"
Harry looked over and smiled and said "That is a small version of Sirius's bike.
It gets bigger when you touch a button on the bottom of it.
But I would take it out side when you want to make it bigger. I would say the helmet and gear grow with the bike as well.
Am I right aunt Petunia?"
"Yes Harry you are. Dudley I don't want to hear that you are abusing it ok?" Aunt Petunia said.
"yes mom" Dudley said.
He sit the bike aside and looked into the box again all that was left was a large money bag as he picked it up inside was lots of gold and silver and bronze coins and lots of gems.
Harry looked over and recognised what his cousin got.
"Dud that is a pocket volt. It's were wizards put their money and other valuable's if they don't trust the bank." Harry said.
Dudley looked at his mom and said "Who is this from I kind of figured that the trinkets and bike was from my real dad seeing as I know he didn't have much when he was in school.
And I figured the only things Vernon would have giving me was the bonds and stocks while I was a I can't think who this would be from."
"Well Dudley you see that is from your aunt Lilly and my mom and dad.
Harry you should have one as well they were made for me and Lilly when we were babies for when we had a family or if something were to happen to them first then they would give them to us in hopes we didn't spend them on needless things.
Now the money the silver and gold and bronze coins those we had converted into wizarding money and the gems well they have been in the family for hundreds of years now.
Also there should be a piece of paper in there telling you how much you have now and how much you did they keep making money just like a bank account." Petunia said.
"Wow mom that's awesome so after my birthday I can buy new cloths?" Dudley asked exactly.
"Yes Duds you can." She said with a happy smile on her face.
"Harry why don't you open your box and let's see what you have shell we?" petunia said.
Harry opened his box and inside like Dudley there were 3 trunks but all had his name on them.
Harry set them aside and took another look into the box there were lots of stuff in it.
There 6 different contracts naming him to be betrothed to whatever one he picked.
He looked at his aunt with a shocked face and asked "What are these and do I really have to pick one?"
"They are Betrothal contracts that betroth you to a girl of your choice.
Now I know you don't want to but it is what your mom sit up for you so how about we take a look and see what girls she picked before you look at any more stuff in there ok?" Petunia said.
"Ok I guess. But why doesn't Dudley have any?" He asked curiously.
"Because he is already betrothed to a girl in the wizarding world who was boring and to non-magical parents." Petunia said looking scared to see Dudley's reaction.
"WHAT? I am betrothed to a girl already and I don't even know her. What's her name?" Asked Dudley looking outraged.
"Her name is Hermione Granger." Petunia said.
"OH MY GOD! You're betrothed to one of my best friends!" Harry said.
Dudley looked like he was about to faint but was glad Harry knew her so that way he could find out what she was like he was hoping she was pretty and wasn't into sports.
"Now Harry its ok her mom and dad know all about it and I am betting she knows about it as well seeing as she should be finding out this summer too.
Now who do you have to pick form?" Petunia said.
Harry looked down at the paper on top and said "I have Cho Change, Angel Young, Ginny Wesley, Marry Huggins, Luna Lovegood, and Rachael May.
I know Ginny and Cho and Luna and Mary but none of the other girls it says here that Angel is from America so I don't think I will pick her. Also I don't want Mary I know her and she's really mean.
And Rachael I don't know her either she's from Canada. So I think the only ones that I can pick form are Cho, Ginny, and Luna.
I don't want to marry Luna she is dating my other best friend Ron and I think Ron really likes her. And I dated Cho last year and it didn't turn out that well she's to giggly for me. So I guess it's going to be Ginny I hope her family don't kill me." Harry said looking really scared.
"I don't think her mother and father will let that happen seeing as they have signed the contract as well now all you need to do is to say I Harry Potter betroth myself to Geneva Molly Wesley. And then touch it with your wand." Petunia said.
Harry did as told and was wrapped in a light blue light. "Now you can look into your box and see what else you have in there." Petunia said.
Harry looked into his box and there was a bunch of letters from his mom and real dad along with his moms dairy and James journal.
He set them aside so he could read them in privet he didn't want to read the letters and dairy or journal in front of his aunt and cousin.
Harry looked back into the box and there were only a few things left.
He pulled out a picture album that was of his mom's school days. And a bag of pictures that he guessed was form James.
There was also a trinket box with lots of different kinds of earrings and other kinds of rings there were cuff links and his mom's engagement ring and wedding ring that his real father gave her.
Along with the engagement ring and wedding ring that James gave her.
There were 3 rings he didn't know the crests of and then there was the Potter family ring witch he would put on as soon as he turned 16.
Under the trinket box there was a red bag and a black bag made out of velvet.
In the red one was what he thought to be the bag his grandmother and grandfather made for him.
In the black one was different kinds of eggs he didn't know what to make of them.
There was also a note saying that he could only pick one for each friend and one for his betrothed a long with one for each family member and the rest were to be his.
He was supposed to let each person he trusted pick their own this way it would bond to them as soon as they touched it. He figured it was really cool.
"What are they Harry?" aunt Petunia asked.
"They are eggs that I am to let each family member and friend and my betrothed to pick one and then the rest are to go to me.
The ones that don't I guess get passed down to my kids and then so on. Do you guys want to pick one?" Harry asked.
"Sure Harry I didn't think you thought of us as your family?" Petunia said.
"I never use to until now I mean you told me everything that I have ever wanted to know in just one day and I see you and Dudley more of a family then I ever expected to. You can go first Aunt Petunia." Harry said.
She reached into the bag and pulled out a light baby blue egg that had gold and silver stars on it.
As she was holding it a note popped out of nowhere and landed on her lap.
She picked it up to read out loud.
"Dear Owner,
I am a Phoenix I won't hatch for another 3 months so please keep me close to you and I will be fine. Also this note will update when I am hatched. It will tell you all about me and what my needs will be.
Thank you for choosing me."
"That is really cool I wonder if they all do that. Ok duds it's you turn." Harry said.
Dudley reached into the bag and pulled out an egg that was so dark red that anyone would say it was black.
As he was looking the egg over a note landed on his lap. It read:
"Dear Owner,
We are twin wolf cubs. We are not your everyday cubs we are magical and will not hatch for 3 months. Please put me in a warm place that is beside you at all times. I can't be left by myself. This note will update when I hatch and will tell you everything I will need.
Thank you for choosing me." Dudley read out loud.
Harry was really shocked that the notes always told of what was in the egg.
And was excited to see what his aunt and Dudley's pets would look like.
Harry yawned and looked at his watch and was shocked to see the time.
"It's getting late maybe we should get something to eat and go to sleep." Harry said.
"yes it is getting late I think we should go find the kitchen and I can make you two something to eat and then we can explore then house before bed how does that sound?" Petunia said.
"Sounds good to me mom what do you think Harry?" Dudley said.
"Sounds good to me as well. Can we have turkey sandwiches and chips and gravy?" Harry asked.
"Yes we can clean up in here and then we will go and find the kitchen ok?" Petunia said.
"Sure." Harry and Dudley said at the same time.
They put all their stuff back into the boxes and set them by the couch.
They left the room and were back into the room that they had landed in.
There was a hall way just to the right so they decided to go that way on the right there was 3 doors and 2 on the left along with one at the end of the hall.
In the first door on the right turned out to be an amazing study that was done in dark tones of reds and blacks.
There was one wall of just books and a desk in the corner or the room with a comfy leather chair behind it and 2 matching ones in front of the desk.
There was a fire place but not as big as the one in the sitting room. In front of the fire place were 2 comfy looking plush chairs with in tables beside them.
They left that room and came to another one right beside it.
"The doors locked aunt Petunia. I won't be able to unlock it until I am 16 unless we can find the key." Harry said sadly.
"That's ok if this place is anything like my old home with your grandmother and grandfather the keys are in the kitchen." Petunia said.
They decided to go to the next door on the right and in the room there was a smaller sitting room done in royal blues and light blues.
The couch and chairs were the same as the ones in the bigger sitting room just with different color fabrics and cushions.
They left the room and went to the first door on the left it turned out to be the dining room.
It had a big long table that could fit 40 people nicely.
The table was a nice dark cherry. Sit with gold plates and sliver silverware.
They walked out of that room and went to the next room witch turned out to be the pantry that was stocked with all the foods you could think of.
They went to the room at the end of the hall and were just as they thought the kitchen.
The kitchen was huge there was 4 different ovens and a flat top stove.
The room was done in white and all the appliances were silver and black. They looked around the room and found a set of keys.
"Can me and Dudley go and see if they will unlock the door?" Harry asked his aunt.
"Well I guess so but don't touch anything ok?" Petunia said.
"Ok mom." Dudley said.
Harry and Dudley took the keys and went back to the locked room and tried every key on the key ring and not one of them worked.
So they went back to the kitchen.
"Aunt Petunia they don't work in the door maybe we should hold on to them for after when we explore the rest of the house." Harry said.
"Sounds good. Well dinner is done so let's eat and see what we find up stairs." Aunt Petunia said.
Harry and Petunia and Dudley sit down to eat at the island in the middle of the room.
After eating and cleaning up Harry and petunia and Dudley went back down the hall to see if they could find the steps to the upstairs.
They ended up in the entrance hall where they landed.
Harry noticed that there were steps in the centre of the room done in the same colors as the hall.
They went up the steps and noticed there was 5 rooms on the first floor along with steps at the end of the hall.
The first door they came to turned out to be a huge library that looked to go up to at least the 3ed floor.
The library was done in calming tones of light earthy colors and jet black leather chairs.
All the shelves were full with books on every subject that they could think of.
Harry noticed a few books that non-magical people shouldn't even know about.
"Aunt Petunia why is there magical books in this library. I thought that your grandmother and grandfather were muggles along with your mom and dad." Harry said.
"No I forgot to tell you with all that has happened my grandmother and grandfather were magical but they never had enough magic in them to go to school.
And neither did my mom and dad that's why they were so excited when me and Lilly got our letters." Petunia said.
"Oh well I understand. I mean if it was me I would have forgot with everything going on. Let's keep going." Harry suggested.
They left the room and went to the next doors on the left and found a bedroom done in pal pinks and real light blue.
With a small bathroom that was done in all white and silver like the kitchen.
They left that room and went to the others they found all the rest of the rooms to be the same as the first room just done in different colors.
They went to the second floor. On that floor there were 3 rooms 2 bigger bedrooms and the doors to the library.
The 2 rooms were done in different colors the one on the right was done in reds and blacks with the bathroom done in black marble with golden fixtures.
Harry loved the room and was thinking it would be great for Dudley.
"Mom can I have this room as my room?" Dudley asked.
"Yes you can dear." Petunia said.
The room on the right was done in dark greens and blacks. And the bathroom was done in black marble with sliver fixtures.
Harry was totally in love with the room he asked "Aunt Petunia can I have this room please?"
"Yes Harry you can have this room. You guys want to finish looking at the house or do you want to go to bed?" Petunia asked.
"I would like to keep looking with you aunt Petunia." Harry said.
"Same here mom." Dudley said.
They left the second floor and went to the 3ed floor there were only 1 room up here and Harry figured that it had to be the master suite.
They opened the door and the room was amazing it was done in light pink and dark red.
There were 2 other doors in the room on lead to walk in closet and the other lead to the bathroom that was done in white marble with pink flakes and black fixtures.
Harry knew it was great for his aunt.
"I think this would be a great room for you aunt Petunia." Harry said.
"Yeah mom it would be great for you. Let's all get to bed. It's really late." Dudley said.
Please read and review.
