Chapter 9 Pavo

A/N: There's a link (take out the spaces) at the bottom of this very short chapter to the lovely scene depicted within.

At Gringotts: Harry did not, and still at this point does not, know why he is Heir to Slytherin, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Why one can say? At that time, it was not at top of info to know, but in Ch. 16, he reads the family history from the vaults. Then he (and we) get that answer. Sorry if it's confusing.

Most other authors would be writing POW magpie haunts, but I usually just follow my story character. Hence, we get to know if Harry gets to know. I do hope it kicks a little to your ideas of what happens, it's just my type of writing, and it's the way I like to read to. But, yes, would it not be fun to see old long beard try to hunt magpies. I know, Harry would love to see it to - but he did not stay for it - if it was - a hunting coming up.

:-:-:-:-:-: back to Pavo

There was a bit of a master test to do what he intended. It was the first time he intended to do as Kajsa had said the shamans could do. Look out from the seite. He need to see where he was going to exit the teleporting. He concentrated on the 'seite' Kajsa had taught him to do, and the place he had been and pictured it. He was very surprised when the mountain view began to appear before his unopened eyes. He really saw the mountain valley, the lake was frozen now, the place where they had celebrated midsummer. He thought back on how they had been, and what they had done. It was so different, suddenly he felt a chill of the fresh cold air, sweep against his face. Cooling his throat, when he took the next breath.

He saw in his mind himself standing there, and when he opened his eyes he was amazed that it was true. It was the same scene he pictured, only now with open eyes. The bizarre thing was that it had not really been a teleportation, and it certainly was not Apparation, but he was there. He truly was there, he could just not believe it. No pressing tubes, no gate openings. This was completely new to him. Actually, never even a little hearsay about it in history course, or obscure magic books, hinted of this type of transportation.

A day's foot march to go down, the same way they had gone up. Well, it would've been, if there had been no snow. However, snow now was in huge amounts, with only a few snow-free areas. Without skies, it would've taken several days, but on skis maybe only an hour. It was downhill, that's if there had been snow on the entire route.

What remained for him to do was to use a little cheating. But first he must change clothes, the ledge he was on would do. He opened the trunk, where he had the clothes for this part of the world. The second one was sealed for now, it was where he had the clothes with tracing spells packed in bags that could not leak, it was doubly secure. There would be many teleporting trips to Liverpool, there he would drop them one by one on magpies, or other fun places. For now, he wanted to find the girl he came here for.

He focused his mind on the bushes a few hundred meters away from the house where Kajsa lived and Apparated there, making only a bit of little noise that was lost in the wind. The immediate reaction for him was that it was less chilly down from where he had been in the mountain. Winter still ruled up there, but down here snow had disappeared, the grass was green and lots of flowers competed to get the earliest insects to pollinate, they were quite small, but still, flowers.

Harry took a few minutes to soak up the atmosphere, before he freed himself from the bushes and went out onto the road, and walked the remaining distance.

What he saw surprised him, on the steps of the cottage he had rented sat a woman, she was so like Kajsa that she could be her twin sister, it could not possibly be. Because, this Kajsa sat nursing a small child. That was before the penny dropped, everything around him became blurred in his mind, blurred and gray, gradually he lost everything. He felt the power to his knees and the legs wane. He felt that he falling deeper into a strange noise, like water falling in a waterfall, then that disappeared, and all went black and silent.
