CHAPTER 4

Why Here?

"Yes Harry, your house. Now if you mind moving in so that the rest of can come in."

"But what … I don't understand; this is the headquarters to the Order of the Phoenix."

"Was the headquarters. After Sirius died. This place lock its self till the rightful owner reopens it, and as the first time since the reading of the will." Harry felt as if all the air was knocked out of him. "Now Kaylian and Harry please go into the kitchen well I put up the anti-appearing and anti-portkey wards. And close the flu connection." Five minutes latter Thex entered the kitchen.

"Um… Thex." Thex put up his hand to silent Harry.

"Sally, Mattie, Whisper, Beny." There was four small pops and four house elves appeared right behind Thex. "You four know what to do." All bowed slightly then rushed out of the room. "What did you want to ask Harry?"

"I was gonna ask why we are here? And now what are the house elves doing here?"

"Well to your first question. This is probably one of the most secure houses in all of Britain. And by the time both me and you are finish here it will be the second most secure homes in Britain. It also is very close to both the ministry and Gringotts, the rest of the wizarding world. Second of all this is a magical house. This means that with only a few minor adjustments it will be the perfect house for you. And lastly, part of your training is to lean to deal with mental attacks. This house, which has many memorize that are painful for you to deal with is in itself attacking you mentally. As for the House elves. They are here to finish what the some of the Order was trying to do for the last year and that is making it once more livable."

"Ya about that is the Fidelius charm still active? And what are we gonna do with the portrait of Mrs. Black?"

"The Fidelius charm that Dumbledore cast on this house is no longer active. And that is the first thing we are gonna work on. I am gonna work on teaching you how to cast the Fidelius charm. So that you may become the secret keeper for your house. As for the portrait of Sirius mother, I hope that the elves will be able to remove it."

"Ah… but isn't that a very advance charm to learn?"

"Yes but it is doable if you work hard."

"One second. Earlier you said training."

"Yes Harry you are gonna be trained as a Draconian knight." This information set a wave of silence, over the room.

"We will start with the Fidelius charm tomorrow. But there is a couple things you should know first is this house is undetectable, that mean that both of you who are underage wizards and witches. Are able to do magic without getting in trouble from the ministry. And second I want both of you to behave. I have business to attend to else where; and I will be home very late tonight." With that he turned walked towards the door. Just before he left the room he turned and pulled something out from under his cloak. Flick his wand and Harry's trunk appeared on the floor. "I think you might want this." then walked out of the room.

"So I think I'm gonna go and look around the house and find a good bedroom. Care to give me the tour." Harry laughed. Getting up he started towards the door; when he got there he turned around. "Well as you can see this is the kitchen and is actually quite roomy. And if you come this way I will show you the rest of the house. But please be quite in the halls, we don't want the portraits to wake." This caused Kaylian to giggle.

After about an hour and ten minutes, they had completed the tour of the house and had one argument with sally about which room Harry was gonna stay in. Harry had wanted the room he had shared with Ron last year. The house elf was insisting that this was Harry's house therefore he will be sleeping in the master bedroom. Harry lost this argument in grand style, which included him yelling so loud that he woke every single portrait in the house. This caused Harry and Kaylian to run around stunning every portrait until they reach the portrait of Mrs. Black. But she was not yelling as she usually did when she was awoken.

"Belle is that you? Narcissa is that you? Are you given the house?" Harry and Kaylian walked out in front of the portrait. "NO!! IT CAN'T BE!!! YOU CAN NOT BE THE OWNER OF … SIRIUS!!!"

"Yes Mrs. Black Harry is the new owner. Kreacher is dealt with." The voice barely over a whisper. Harry and Kaylian turned to see Beny standing behind them. "And now it is time for you to leave this place." And with that Beny snapped his fingers and Mrs. Blacks Portrait disappeared. Kaylian turned to Harry, "I think we should go and see about picking my room."

"Ya, I think we" Harry whipped around his wand coming to his hand. "Lumos." Light beamed out of Harry's wand flooding every part of the entrance.

"Harry what is it?"

"I don't know. I could have sworn I saw something move out of the corner of my eye."

"It was probably one of the house elves."

"Sally, Mattie, Whisper, Beny."

Four soft pops. And the four house elves appeared in front of them. "Yes Sir." The chimed all together.

"Were any of you in the entrance a moment ago?"

"No sir. Beny was the last here and he returned to the master bedroom after rooming Mrs. Black's Portrait."

'Come on Harry you are just being paranoid. It's noting."

"No. I know someone or something else is here with us."

"Sir no can come in except through the front door. And After master left he locked it."

"Then it or they were here before that."

"Come on Harry; you have been through much over the last few days."

"What's That supports to mean Kaylian?" Harry whipped around to look at here.

"I just mean that you have had a lot to deal with and it's been a long day and all. And we haven't eaten supper, Mattie you think you can whip something up for us."

"We don't eat till we find what is sneaking around this House!"

"Harry there is nothing but us in here."

"I wouldn't't be so sure of that Miss. Kaylian." Said a deep and slightly amused voice. Kaylian whipped around and looked up at the landing where Harry's eyes had lock.

"Complin! What the hell are you doing here?"

"What to you think? I was charged with the command of ten men that were to be yours and Mr. Potter's guard when Lord Thex isn't around. And Mr. Potter I can see why you are to be train as a Knight; you are very gifted. And Kaylian I'm disappointed in you. You should have been able to detect us."

"If I had know you were gonna be here, I would of actually been paying attention."

"That is the point. Being I knight you must always being paying attention to your surroundings. Always know where the attacking is coming so that you can gain the advantage."

"Complin I think we liked you better when we didn't know you were here. And when you were a shadow."

"Of course you do."

"Sally bring mine and Harry's supper to my room. It the one of the third floor right across from the washroom." She then started up the stairs. Harry looked at her then up to the landing. Which was now empty. What the hell. I better follow her. There is gonna need to be some very good answers. Because I have way too many question. "Kaylian hold up, we need to talk."

"In my room and away from prying ears." So Harry followed Kaylian up the three flights of stairs. And into the room she had clamed as her own. I can understand up here to talk and all; but why is she so pissed. Kaylian stopped suddenly which cause him to run into her. Dam it, you're an Idiot. You think that you could watch where you were going. "You have thirty seconds to get out or else." Fuck, you really pissed her off now. Harry quickly turned and started for the door, when Kaylian grabbed his Shoulder. "Not you Harry, The Guards." A minute latter Kaylian shut the door pulled out her wand and muttered what Harry guessed to be a silencing charm and a locking charm.
