Chapter Six: Le Fay Castle, Inheritances and Look out Wizarding World!
"Hey Seth?" looking at Seth who was sitting at the table while Harry was making lunch,.
"Yes Harry," looking up from a book that he was reading from Harry's extensive library.
"Why are there not many humans. I noticed that most people who go to Oriala are different magical creatures or have to be incredibly powerful," Harry asked having looked into some of the more well known people who had passed through the school.
"Ah that's because Wizards though they are powerful in there own right, magical creatures. There blood is one hundred percent pure magic though you woudn't be able to tell. That's why pure bloods usually interbreed with different magical creatures. The most powerful creatures are elves, incubus/succubi, Demons and Hydra's," Seth explained as Harry listened interested at the information.
"But if that's true then you would think that the Ministry wouldn't try to destroy all magical creatures. If they do magic would die out very quickly," Harry said amazed at how foolish the wizarding world was.
"Yes, that's true. We can only hope that someone, someday will destroy the whole system of the Ministry and create a better one and make a law for all magical creatures with terms unbreakable like the one for the school," sighing as he thought of that and how the magical world would be much better along with the magical community increasing in population.
Harry pondered on this information he had gained. I t was very true what Seth had said since the magical community throughout the world was very small and didn't seem to be expanding very much. There really was only one option of destroying the Ministry of Magic, the way it was, nearly over probably half of them where corrupt only looking for their best interests on to what they could gain. Fudge though not bad with politician's was a greedy man, ready to look the other way if given money. Sighing he levitated the salad and fruit bowl onto the table while carrying over the sandwiches he had made for the both of them as he sat down, enjoying the silence comforted by each other's presence. Upon finishing lunch in which he cast a few simple spells, making them clean and put back into their original places discussed where they where going to use the spell for the next three years. It had been decided that Harry wasn't going to go back to his original age, feeling that it would be better to be in his older form as he would feel much easier in his training. Looking through the places he had they agreed to use was the Le Fay Castle, as it might be more useful to use the Tower for major summonings of different creatures or Necromancy in the war that was to come as Seth had gone to different Seers that where the best of the best in their field, all having visions of a great war that would make the first war with Voldemort look like a walk through the park, making Harry even more determined to win this fight. Deciding to concentrate on his training as he had only a week before the Space Bubble was used and by the time he came out it only being three hours in reality would be in his full inheritance which he was nervous about though told that he should be able to use some of the powers now, though they would be a lot stronger when he came into his inheritance.
&&&&&
Twisting and turning as he felt waves of power flow through his body, changes also taking place as he wished for the pain to pass as it was agony. Hours later collasping onto his bed. Lifting his head feeling much better than he had been doing a while ago walked into his bathroom to see what changes he had gone through. Looking at the mirror he looked in shock as there was no way that was him! He was considered to be very handsome as it was, girls flocking to him as well as boys but now he wouldn't get any rest from the looks of it. His tanned skin had taken on an earthly glow making him look ethereal, eyes that where a stormy grey had flecks of silver in them . His ears he noted where pointed which pointed that somewhere in his family had mated to an elf though what type was unknown. He had wings which surprised him. They where a lovely shade of silver with gold one placed here and there while the tips seemed to have been dipped in a baby blue paint slightly darker right at the end. There where a few creatures that had wings but he knew that only one type had these sort of colours and they where Veela's. Groaning he realized that he was going to have a lot of problems now as he would be exuding enthrallment until he found his mate. So he would have to learn to control this before he got back to school. Hopefully his mate would be there as it was said that usually they had been near you for quite sometime, but never really took notice to each other. If not he would be in some serious trouble.
&&&&&
In another place Harry who had been sleeping Aria sleeping on her pile of pillows shot of the bed sweating as shivers wracked his body, feeling something tugging at his soul. Realizing that his mate had come into his inheritance would make things very difficult as they would have an awareness of where he would be. He would have to tell Seth about this and see what could be done especially if the person went to Hogwarts. Dumbledore would use him feeling that it wasn't a girl his mate was. Besides he never did have an interest in the opposite gender. They where too bland for his tastes. Closing his eyes feel back to sleep plagued by dreams once more but this time with an unknown face appearing.
&&&&&
Having packed the necessary items he would need for the next three years along with the eggs that he was taking with him that would take quite a long time to mature as he felt that it would be easier to hatch the ones that would take more than three years to mature into an adult. He was going to take quite a lot of care with them as they would be his friends and allies for the time to come. For though he trusted humans he felt much safer with animals. He had always felt that they understood him better than he did himself. He remembered fondly of common snakes in England and stray cats and dogs come to him give him assuring licks and rubs as if to say they cared for him. Sarah an old adder had doted upon him calling him her little hatchling wanting to bit the Dursley's every time they hurt him. Though sadly she died a year later, telling she loved him which was quite unusual for a snake as they did not give away their emotions like that. She had felt like the first true mother he had in all of his years of existence and mourned her death always taking the day she died to grieve and send wishes to her. That's why he had always had such an affinity towards snakes. He had especially hated having to say that snakes where evil from the wizarding world's point of view on them. He also had not wanted to kill the Basilisk in the Chamber but he might be able to do something about that if he read the books correctly on Necromancy
The snakes he had bought from the pet shop where an interesting crowd, each having an interesting ability. He had aquired Twenty-One snakes at the pet shop. Out of them only eight of them where ordinary snakes. He had two Black Mambas which he would work with in his fighting stages along with the other types of snakes as the variety's of different poisons that could paralyze or melt a person's innards. Looking at the list he saw that he had three death adders that originate from Australia another deadly specie's. Hmm a python, one Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake and a King Cobra. Unusual to have snakes that came from different parts of the world most very venomous with different side affects to humans. They where a very interesting selection. The rest where some he had heard in Magical creatures book. There where two groups of six snakes that had come from litters. The first was little an icy blue colour with silver stripes. He believed they came from Antartica. When they bit a person frostbite would travel through the body killing within a couple of hours if not treated. The other litter was brown with darker brown patterns like the Diamondback, which lived in England. He had known a few of them in Surrey before they moved away as the forests started to disappear. They where perfect at camouflaging themselves in the undergrowth, they where the spitter type.
All very interesting abilities. Now it would probably be a good idea to send them some of them off to where they originated from and speak to the other snakes both magical and non-magical and ask for them to support him as he knew that if Voldemort gained their support he would use them as cannon fodder and he would not allow that to happen to these magnificient creatures as he remembered how Tom Riddle had used the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets not caring that she was injured badly, his hand tightening into a fist at the thought of that. Shaking those thoughts from his head he finished packing exciting the apartment that he wouldn't see for the next three years.
"Goodbye," he whispered before shutting the door completely
&&&&&
Upon seeing Seth and the group of wizards that where to be his tutors for the next three years gave a friendly smile as he walked up to them.
"Ready to go?" Seth asked holding a large stick in his hand.
"Yeah. I'm ready," nodding to the other people as he took a hold of the stick, the other's following his lead.
Feeling a tug at his navel watched as everything became a blur, until they landed thankfully still on his feet as he was still slightly clumsy at times though not that often. Looking at his surroundings he saw a huge castle in front of him. It was aged, but not to the extent of Hogwarts though it was far older than it. Must be a preservation spell on it to stop it from looking like it's thousands of years old.
Ignoring the rest of the people he walked up towards the door, taking a hold of the handle opened to reveal a large room with a staircase in the middle that lead up to the next room. It was very clean as portraits talked to each other pointing their fingers at the newcomer. Ignoring them Harry moved further in as the rest of the group entered closing the door behind them as a small 'pop' was heard wands raised towards the noise to reveal a House Elf. The House Elf was in better condition than any other House Elf he had seen in his lifetime, as he had found the Kitchens in Hogwarts on his first week considering that he didn't sleep very often from nightmares, also prefering to know his surroundings.
"Master has finally come! Twinkle has been waiting for this day to come! Mistress told us you would come someday. Come and I shall assign you your rooms," squealed the House Elf in it's high pitched squeaky voice jumpy up and down before walking towards the staircase.
Deciding to follow Twinkle as the teachers where each assigned a room in the corridor before showing Harry the rest of the house which included a large garden, kitchen training room, potion room and many other's that made his mind spin as he was lead back to his room.
"Here is your room, Master Harry. If you should need anything call Twinkle," before snapping her finger disappearing back probably to the kitchen. Smirking at the energetic creature he saw that his room was most likely the largest room in the Castle, about three times the size of his rooms in Oriala. There was a King size bed that was situated next to the large window that viewed the garden down below with a bedside cabinet next to the bed. There was a large desk at the opposite side of the room with plenty of room to put a large number of books opened and still enough to have room for writing. The colours of the room where in a calming red on the walls, the carpet was black, the large rug next to the bed was the same colour red.
Enlarging his items with a wave of wand spelled the books in order of the subjects to go over to the book cabinets that took up the walls next to the desk, pleased that there was still room for more, before gathering his snakes telling them to explore their surroundings before coming back as he had jobs for them. Aria who had woken up who was now the size of a very large dog was fluffing her pillows up in a corner of the room in which she could see everything that was going on to protect her bonded, before snuggling in as she watched him unpack.
Harry?
Yes?
When are you going to start hatching some of those eggs. I would like some hatchlings for when you're not around,
Alright, I start looking into that...Say you wouldn't mind teaching them to learn how to fight could you, as I'm sure you're very experienced in that area, looking over to her as he said that.
Surprised at his question answered, Why yes I am. Morgana had many enemies who tried to kill her with different magical creatures, so I helped her by fighting them so no I don't have a problem teaching them. It'll do them good to know how to fight. I can't wait to take care of them, a joyful hiss coming from her throat at the prospect of younglings.
You sound like a mother, amused at her joy as he swished his wand, clothes flying into the chest and wardrobe in the room.
Well, it's not like I'm going to be able to reproduce my own kind since I'm the last of my kind, she said as a sadness entered her eyes.
Do you feel lonely at times having no one else like you, Harry asked stopping from unpacking his items.
Hearing a sigh from her she replied, Yes at times I do feel lonely. But I have you and I don't feel lonely now like I used to, even with Morgana though she was a great mother to me, I never felt as close to her as I do to you.
Hearing the sadness in her tone he walked over to Aria mindful of her heads as he held her close knowing that she needed the comfort that he could give her as he felt her shudder, murmuring comforting words to her until she fell asleep watching over her. Going over to the trunks with the eggs he picked up the two books before going over to the bed. Opening each one he said, "Hydra."
Watching the pages flip over as they searched for the information that was needed the first one came up with nothing but the other one he saw at the top corner the word Hydra.
I have been researching a way to bring back this magnificent specie back to the Wizarding World though they still fear it putting at the same level as the Chimera and Mantis creature. Hopefully this egg that I have produced with crossbreeding will give me the result of many years of hard work in which the other eggs that are produced from my experiments.
From books I read when I was young and rumours that I heard when I was a little boy, Morgana Le Fay the sister of Merlin had the last female Hydra of that specie. This egg I have produced is a male. Hopefully I will be able to find the heir of Le Fay when I hatch the egg, which I will able to do when I return to Hogwarts.
Closing the book he looked at the description of the egg. Walking over to the trunk he looked around until he found the egg. It was silver with dark wisps on it making it look like smoke partly enshrouding the egg. Looking over at Aria he smiled as he felt that this might be the chance for her to have a mate if Godric had done what was thought impossible. Reading over the instuctions on how to hatch the egg properly used a piece of parchment transfiguring it into a large pillow along with a heating charm at the temperature that was needed to hatch it. Carefully lifting it he placed the pillow next to Aria feeling that she needed the comfort at the moment.
"It's going to be a long three years," he murmured as he decided to read about the other eggs that he had taken from the vault and how to take care of them.
&&&&& Three Years Later - Day of Inheritance &&&&&
Lying on his bed as he looked at the clock he had saw that it was ten minutes to midnight. In just a couple of seconds he was going to be seventeen and he would be leaving the Le Fay castle in a week's time though he was definitely going to be living here after he destroyed Voldemort. Less chance of him being hounded by the Wizarding World as it was under Fidelius. Taking a sigh looked back at the clock to see it only a minute away watching the seconds pass by...
thirty...
twenty...
ten...
nine...
eight...
seven...
six...
five...
four...
three...
two...
one...
As the last second came by he was engulfed by a bright white light as magic within him that he didn't even realize he had as it expanded his core until it burst and flowed throughout every inch of his body. It was unlike anything he had ever felt before. As quick as it went he felt other changes about to happen. Feeling a horrible burning sensation as his magic pumping throw him in sync with his heartbeat skyrocketed as the Castle shook from the sheer power that he was exuding as wings where ripped out from his back, blood spraying everywhere as he moaned painfully. His skin felt like it was being burnt off and re-growing at the same time as he felt his canines grow into deadly fangs, poison sizzling off them as his fingernails turned into claws as they also burnt a hole into the mattress he was lying on as nobody was allowed to come into the room, as a person's magic could disrupt the Inheritance causing problems for the person in the ability to use it or they could become insane in some rare cases from the amount of magic that was gained. Moaning slightly as the pain dulled and glow around him dissipated as he took deep breaths until he felt that he was able enough to lift himself off his bed. Stumbling he walked into the bathroom as he made towards the mirror that was on the far wall. Lifting his head he took a step back at the transformation that had occurred. He knew that he had wings but they where a red colour, almost as if they where on fire when they moved. He had sharp claws and fangs as he had expected. His hair was down to his waist, looking like silk. But his eyes where what surprised him the most they where still a brilliant emerald colour that now glowed the Avadra Kedavra curse when looked upon but now had silver and violet-purple flecks in them, enhancing his aristocratic features that had been developing. He looked pretty good despite the intense pain he had gone through. Noticing a slight movement from the side he turned around to meet what looked like a tail. It was scaly but smooth to the touch as he stroked it, a shade lighter than his eyes trailing up his spine curving onto his wings in which they turned to the same shade of red as his wings covering his bone wings for protection. (AN:Think of Saphira's wings in Eragon) Yawning from the Inheritance he moved back towards his bed flopping down falling asleep immediately upon contact.
&&&&& Six Years later &&&&&
Opening his eyes Harry now Seventeen years old once again stretched himself before getting off the bed as he dressed for the day, for today was the final day of being at Oriala. He had accomplished much in his time here and had surprisingly with all of his subjects gone through the OWLs and NEWTs with each course to the surprise of his teachers as they had never encountered a student like him. All he had had to do for the last three years was gain his masteries in the fields he had chosen which would only take a year to do. With his potions he made an nutritional potion that was much better than other types that would have helped far much better than other's when he first came to Oriala.
His Dark Arts and Defense Against the Dark Arts he had to defeat both of his teachers at the same time who both had their masteries in the field. It was a very challenging fight but thankfully from all of his training he had been able to pass.
His Necromancy/Ritual Magic test he had to successfully summon a number creatures to do his bidding without any faults which went very smoothly, considering that in NEWT you where to summon a unharmful demon that could be exterminated quite easily incase anything went wrong.
Care of Magical Creatures was that you had to do a variety of different tasks and how to handle them correctly.
All in all he had done a well done job with his education and now he felt that he was ready to face Voldemort with six years worth of training on his hand. Smirking he shrunk his items before closing the door. He would come back here when his task was complete and live the rest of his days here for it was the only place that truly felt like his second home. Hogwarts had lost the feeling after the betrayal by his friends and Dumbledore. Sighing as he left the school, knew that he now had to face his past. He had of course kept an eye on what had been happening in the Wizarding for the past three years since the Space Bubble for three years only three weeks would pass in the world, so he would have been fourteen still, but now at seventeen the year of a Sixth Year at Hogwarts. So far they had gone through another three Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers. One being a Death Eater. Two being a worker from the Ministry and was considered insane after her trip to the Forbidden Forest and the Third one was mysteriously killed. Along with Voldemort having being revived, the Ministry denying this claiming the student from Beaubaxtons during the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament. He had to admit that the Hogwarts Champion Cedric Diggory was very fine, he had always thought him handsome remembering the only time he had really seen him was during that Quidditch match when the Dementors had been at Hogwarts. Shuddering at that memory he wondered how his Godfather no Father was. Shaking himself from that direction of thought was thankful he wouldn't be forced to go to Hogwarts, unless that meddling old coot had something up his sleeves which he no doubt had. Though he wouldn't let himself be controlled by anyone, especially Dumbledore and that stupid Order of the Phoenix he created. Please they did nothing that really helped the Wizarding World.
Seeing Seth at the gates he jogged over to him as Seth placed a kiss on his cheek asking, "You ready for this?"
"I've been waiting for this for the last six years," Harry purred excited at the prospect at shocking the Wizarding World.
"I'll see you at Le Fay Castle alright?" making sure that was where they where going to meet.
"Are you sure about this?" Harry asked a concerned look on his face.
"Hey I was getting bored of running the School. I've been doing this for the last Twenty years. I need to do something new and Madessa is capable enough to look after Oriala. She's already looking for a new Headmaster as we speak," amused at the shocked expression on his face as Harry gave him a kiss on the lips before separating himself to breath. Even though he had a mate, Harry did love Seth very much. He just hoped he wouldn't lose him.
"Very well. I have to make my appearance. See ya," winking at Seth he disappeared from the spot he had been standing.
Shaking his head he knew that Harry was going to give the Wizarding World a big shock everywhere he went. He just hoped his didn't do anything too crazy, he thought of the kid like his own son before disappearing to Le Fay Castle for a rest.
&&&&&
Elsewhere Harry appearing in the busy town of London where it was nightime looked at a house that no one else could see as he snorted seeing no protection wards except the fidelius making him wonder if they had any self-preservation.
Making sure that everything was in place he walked to the house stopped at the door wand raised thinking, "This is going to be fun."
Yay. I'm finished. Please don't be mad at me for not showing any of his life at school. That will be shown as well as some of the other eggs. It'll appear at certain chapters.
Hope you enjoyed. Review!
