HAPPY 23rd BIRTHDAY TO ME
Chapter .3.
"The secret of this Mansion is now with me. Me Alone is protecting the Mansion", Artemis says looking at the shimmering gold and silver mist
"What is that?" Foaly asks
"The Fidelius Charm. An immensely complex spell involving the magical concealment of a secret inside a single, living soul. The information is hidden inside the chosen person, or Secret Keeper, and is henceforth impossible to find — unless, of course, the Secret Keeper chooses to divulge it willingly. As long as the Secret Keeper refused to speak, You-Know-Who could search outside the gates of this mansion were staying for years and never find us, not even if he had his nose pressed against the gates", Artemis says turning his back on the gates and starting to walk inside
"And you would do this?" Holly asks
"They are my family and friends. You-Know-Who is rounding some of them up like cattle. Throwing them in Azkaban for being Muggle-Born. For stealing magic – which in the wizarding world you can't do", Artemis says
"You have more to explain Arty", Holly says
"I know. Come lets get inside. I need to find my mirror", Artemis says walking inside
"Mirror? What to look at your reflection do you?" Trouble asks
"No of course not", Artemis says leading them up to his study and placing a hand on the door, "This is my magic study it is keyed to my magic and my magic alone"
They all walk inside the office and Holly, Mulch, Trouble, Foaly, Caballine, No 1 and Qwan look shocked by the magical artefacts.
"The Fowls line comes from the Slytherin and Ravenclaw line in the magical world", Artemis says going over to a safe
"Slytherin? Ravenclaw?" Holly asks
"The founders of Hogwarts the houses in the school are named after them. There was Godric Gryffindor and his wife Helga Hufflepuff. Salazar Slytherin and his wife Rowena Ravenclaw. So they are the four founders. Gryffindor's known as the brace, Hufflepuff known as the loyal, Ravenclaw know for the brightest witches and wizards and Slytherin known for its cunning and for our dark nature", Artemis says quietly shutting the safe
"Dark Nature?" Foaly asks
"Most members in Slytherin house are Death Eaters the Darkest wizard we are hiding from now's followers. But don't be followed all houses have their own Death Eaters. The person her betrayed a friend of mine's parents was a Gryffindor. Actually my friend is of the line of Godric Gryffindor and Helga Hufflepuff. But the hat wanted to put him in Slytherin", Artemis says
"Hat?" Caballine says
"That is how we are sorted. The hat is enchanted to choose the quality in you that will put you in the best house to become the great wizard everyone can be. Sometimes the hat follows family. Sometimes it takes our chooses into account", Artemis says sitting behind his desk with the mirror
"What house were you in?" Holly asks
"Slytherin. My whole family has been in Slytherin. But a few Ravenclaw's. Mother and Father were both in Slytherin. My fiancée is in Gryffindor", Artemis says
"Have you got other family Artemis?" Holly asks
"Yes I felt them arrive before I did the charm. They will be down stairs now. I will introduce them soon. First I must check in with Harry. Prongslet!" Artemis says into the mirror
The mirror shimmers and a raven-haired teen appears.
"Grim", the boy says
"Wings", Artemis says
"What is happening?" Wings asks
"Everyone is now at the Manor. Do you want me to give you the address in case of emergency's?" Artemis asks
"I think we will be fine", Wings says
"Don't be stubborn. I just placed the Fidelius Charm around it", Artemis says
"Where safe. We think we figured out who R.A.B is", Wings says
"Who?" Artemis asks
"Sirius's brother", Wings says
"That makes sense. I need to tell you there is a taboo on HIS name. Tell the others. Don't say the name it will break enchantments", Artemis says
"Thanks you might have just saved our butt", Wings says
"Harry these are my friends Holly Short, Mulch Diggums, Foaly and Caballine, No 1, Qwan and Trouble Kelp. They just got introduced to the magical world today. They came at the time everyone else did", Artemis says, "Without calling ahead"
"Are they going to help?" Harry asks
"Yes we will", Holly says
"Then be careful. Do what Artemis says. Your new to this type of magic. Be careful I don't want friends of Artemis's in trouble", Harry says
Harry's concern touched them.
"We will try and listen to them", Holly promises
"Good. I must go. Good luck Grim", Harry says
"Good luck Wings. Give my luck to Fire, Snow", Artemis says
Harry laughs, "Will do"
That's when Harry disappears from the mirror.
"Wings? Grim? Fire? Snow?" Holly asks
"Animagus names. An Animagus is a wizard that can turn into an animal it takes years of practice. Harry is Wings because his Animagus is a Phoenix, fire is Ron Weasley who is a fox, he is a red fox and also has red hair in life. Fire is appropriate for his colouring of his fox and hair, Hermione Granger is Snow who is a Artic Fox. They are the Golden Quad", Artemis says putting the mirror away
"But that's only 3", Foaly points out
"Neville is in it too. He is Claw because he is a bear", Artemis explains
"What about golden?" Mulch asks
"Gryffindor colours are gold and red, Ravenclaw bronze and blue, Hufflepuff yellow and black and Slytherin silver and green. There is a good Quad for each Gold Quad for Gryffindor, Bronze Quad for Ravenclaw, Sliver Quad for Slytherin and Sunlight for Hufflepuff", Artemis says
"So who is in your silver quad? And why does Harry call you grim?" Holly asks
"The Silver Quad is Draco Malfoy or Dragon he can turn into a dragon and Draco means dragon, Blaise Zabini who is Talon because he is an owl, Tracey who is Shadow and she is a Panther", Artemis says
"What about you?" Holly asks
"Luna is a Unicorn. We call her innocent, Terry Boot is an Eagle we call him Flight, Padma Patil is a horse and is called Mare, and Michael Conner who is Towers because he turns into a Giraffe they are part of the Bronze Quad", Artemis says ignoring the question, "Susan is stripes because she is a skunk, Hannah Abbott is an Hawk we call her Skye, Justin Finch-Fletchley is a badger we call him Burrow and Ernie Macmillan who is a Cheetah who call him Cheat and they are part of Sunlight Quad"
"Why do they call you Grim?" Holly asks
"Each house has a song that comes out of the hat. For Ravenclaw it is:
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind.
"For Gryffindor it is:
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
Set Gryffindor's apart
"For Slytherin it is:
Or perhaps in Slytherin,
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means,
To achieve their ends.
"For Hufflepuff it is:
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuff's are true,
And unafraid of toil
"Each house also has their own element too. Ravenclaw Element is air, Gryffindor Element is fire, Slytherin Element is water and Hufflepuff Element is earth", Artemis says
"Arty please tell us", Holly says, "It can't be that bad"
Artemis sighs
"I am a Basilisk. The Wizarding worlds darkest and most dangerous creature"
