Harry potter and the Greater Dragons Chapter 4
The next day Harry was up and down in the kitchen in time for breakfast. Which was made by Mrs Weasley this morning. He quickly poured a drink then sat down at the table with a book and started too read. It was one he liked very much it was called The Lord of the Rings by J.R. .
When breakfast was done everyone else came in and sat the table. Harry read while he ate making Ron pull a strange face as if anyone reading at the table was unnatural, well apart from Hermione it was unnatural.
"Hey Harry why are reading at the table? Isn't that what Hermione does?"
"Ron you make it sound like a bad thing. While Hermione would say something along the lines of "There's nothing wrong with reading a book at the table Ronald" where as I'm just going too say "It depends on the book". Anyway this is not a text book of any sort it's a muggle adventure story known as The Lord of the Rings its pretty good. I have a fare few of these muggle books that I read depending on what kind of a mood I'm in."
Ron just gave a look and went back to his food while Harry turned and gave a shrug to Hermione who was smiling a little then went back too reading his book. Breakfast continued on in this manner until they were finished then Molly stood up.
"Right kids we'll be cleaning some of the rooms today and that includes both Harry and Hermione as well" She said and got mixed reactions the red heads all groaned and Hermione shook her head at them but Harry just had too say something.
"Sorry Mrs Weasley but I already have plans in place but feel free too clean some of the rooms out as it will actually help me out. However when you do can you put anything that you bag up into another room so I can go through them later and can you also remove the furniture from whatever rooms you clean that way I can get to them later. Finally for everyone else the hallway with Mrs Blacks portrait could you please keep walking through it too a bare minimum as I'll be starting there." Harry said however it looked like Mrs Weasley was about too protest but Harry just shook his head at her before she remembered that he now had the status of a legal adult.
So as Harry took his book up to his room too put away. Mrs Weasley decided too start on the rooms that were on that floor so as too keep an eye on what Harry was doing as well in case he needed help. When Harry came back down they all saw he had gotten changed in cloths that would suggest that he was working on painting and decorating.
When he was ready he took out his wand and gave it a wave and said an incantation and the hallway expanded including all the hallways up stairs as they were all connected. After that he called Kreacher too bring his things for the work he needed too do. The people In the room were surprised too see the house-elf pop back with about a ton of bricks and a mixer full of cement under a stasis charm and plaster for the walls also under the same charm and wooden boards.
"Harry dear what exactly are you doing?" Asked Mrs Weasley as even the others were wondering what he was up too. Well Hermione could easily figure it out as she had seen something similar.
"I would be doing some miner repair work to the house as it is mostly internal damage like the Walls and floors. However thanks to my time at the Dursley's I can do it pretty easy so it shouldn't take more than a few weeks too completely do the whole house and I'm starting here because of the portrait. So by the time I'm done here we won't have to worry about her anymore." Harry replied as both Tonks and Fleur walked in just after Mrs Weasley asked the question.
"However I like too do things the muggle way whenever I can so most of this will be done that way. So I'll be kept quiet occupied with it for the next few weeks. However I don't mind anyone watching just as long as you don't get under my feet and please note that I will be ripping up the floor at some point in the next few hours or the next couple of days it just depends on how long it will take me too finish the walls however I will warn you before I start. Now Fleur and Tonks where are you going because you can't stay in the hallway unless you're watching then in which case you can stand in a doorway out of my way."
Both Tonks and Fleur went into the room with the others so as too watch both Harry and the others cleaning. Harry then made a start on his work by taking down the curtains that hid the dreaded picture of the foul women thus starting her off on her bigotry at least until Harry drew on her portrait which caused everyone too come to the doorway too find that it was yelling but no sound could be heard.
"Hang on why didn't we think about putting a silencing rune on the bitch it would have been easier." Said Tonks exasperatedly while everyone else agreed.
Harry just continued what he was doing. He then waved his wand and all the other pictures on the wall came down and stacked themselves in the room with the others. He then after another wave made all the wallpaper fall off the walls and onto the floor which he vanished along with the drapes from the portrait.
Then came the hard part, he started too lay the bricks near the staircase like a well trained bricklayer. By the time he had finished everyone was surprised that in working at it he also covered the horrid portrait and the subject was still trying to scream bloody murder. He then took the plaster and started too cover the bricks after he used his wand too dry the cement.
Mrs Weasley hadn't had much too do cleaning wise in the room so she dismissed the two young girls too do what they wanted while she kept an eye on the boys as they moved the furniture. So both Hermione and Ginny joined Tonks and Fleur in watching Harry work.
Harry himself was getting rid of the old plaster on the remaining Walls and re-plastering them. He had brought the radio up and had set it to a good muggle station that he liked too listen to while he worked like this. There was something that the three Wizarding raised witches found was fascinating about Harry while he worked which they asked Hermione why watching a man work the muggle way was interesting.
"Well it's not the fact that it's the work he's doing. It's more of the fact that he's doing it which can make him all hot and sweaty heck if he got little hot most guys take their tops off and continue working so as not too get over heated. However it would make us over heat so just a word of warning." Replied Hermione as she to continued too watch Harry work.
Tonks having heard every word Hermione had said just gave her wand a wave and put it away. When the other three looked at her she just whispered that it would start too get hotter in a few minutes. They then knew what she was up too and just decided too enjoy the show.
While Harry worked away he never saw or heard what the young women were talking about. So after about an hour and a half of working he was starting too over heat and so took off his t-shirt.
That is what the girls were waiting for, they could clearly see the scars from his childhood abuse as well as his battle scars but they made him look more rugged and untameable with his lean swimmers build. It was also obvious that Quidditch was good for him as well as he had well defined muscles on him. As he continued too work away he stretched and moved in ways that made his muscles ripple which in turn got the women over heated and coursed the start of more than one fantasy.
At midday Mrs Weasley called a stop to the boys moving the furniture and went too make lunch and never noticed Harry continue too work with the girls still watching him. Ron looked over to the doorway as he had secretly been hoping that Hermione had been watching him do a man's work and showing off his strength. However what he found was that all four young women were not even looking in the room but out into the hallway.
Walking over he saw why, he found his best friend without a shirt and he didn't even notice the female attention he was getting. That caused his jealousy too rise as he wanted that kind of attention from Hermione and what does his so called best friend do. He removes his shirt and carry's on working away, it wasn't fair.
"Hey Harry we are stopping for the time being why don't you as well. Mum's gone too make lunch so we can take a brake." As soon as Ron had finished specking, Kreacher popped in with a bowl of warm water, a bar of soap and a towel.
At that point Mrs Weasley walked back in with lunch and Harry quickly washed his hands and went too join them. At first Ron hoped that his mum would object to how Harry was dressed and at first she did until Harry explained that he was muggle raised and it was expectable for him too work without a shirt if he was over heating. He also pointed out that none of the people who were watching were complaining and he looked at the four young women who blushed a little at being caught enjoying the show.
The rest of the day and the next few weeks past in pretty much the same way with Harry working on repairs for the house and changing how it looked with Transfiguration which he made permanent with Runes. All of which impressed Hermione and the other three young women who enjoyed watching him work as he always ended up getting over hot and remove his top. He never seemed too notice it was because Tonks heated up the air a little but either way they weren't complaining. After the few weeks were over, the house was completely unrecognisable as it had been revamped as Harry called it so it would be more impressive to have been given the title of manner of the house of Black.
