Chapter 9: Home & Diagon Alley & A new house mate & family
Once on the Knight Bus Stan and Ernie gave them a free ride since they were Harry's new Family.
"Hope you do better than his last family. I'm Serious; Mrs. Weasley, he used to go to Diagon Ally a couple of day's last year and he had bruises all over his body."
"Stan Stop talking." Harry said. He had hoped he had covered up his bruises whenever he went out in public last year. "Now please!"
"It's nothing I don't know Harry, Severus told me about what he saw in your relatives mind." Molly said.
"I know he probably told you; it's just I don't like to remember them they are part of my past and now I don't want to remember that part, it's not important."
The rest of the trip passed in silence. Once they got out; they and walked to the Burrow. Once there Molly got cooking (Harry noticed that he had a hand on the Famous Weasley clock; the clock tells the location and well being of each kid). Ron and Wes showed Harry around, Ginny tagged along waiting to actually talk alone with Harry; Harry would be "Sleeping" in Bills room which was across the landing from Ginny's room according to Ron, but Harry and Ginny knew better (They made a promise with Gandalf that if neither Harry or Ginny were to appear next to each other during the night when he was at school; the two would sleep together starting the first night back home even if they have to teleport to each other). After the tour was done Ron and Wes decided on going swimming; Harry said he'd never swam before and asked Ginny to teach him in the bit of the River that was deep enough (Ginny laughed at that particular part seeing the two swimming in a huge lake for their first honeymoon in Harry's mind).
"So what do you want to talk about?" Harry asked as they reached the river, and got in and relaxed in the weak current.
"How rich is the Potter Family?" Ginny asked.
"I honestly don't know." Harry said. "Nor do I care. I will tell you something Mrs. Potter; I would give up all my money, just to have you all to myself." Ginny giggled with a blushed.
"What is Potter Castle?" Ginny asked. "How big is it again?"
"All I know is that it's bigger than the School, maybe once we get into the vault we can find the Portkey to it and explore." Harry said. "Do you know the Story of Merlin and Avalon?"
"You mean Merlin, King Arthur? That Avalon?" Ginny asked.
"Yes that is the story." Harry said.
"Yes; I've heard that story; who hasn't?"
"That castle is the first castle in existence." Harry said. "That castle belonged to Merlin after Arthur died." He took a deep breath. "Then Merlin Married Morgana or Morgan Le Fay. And they had kids who had kids until the Founders were born; did you know that? The founders were related but only by so much it was okay that they got married by today's term that is."
"No I didn't. So the Avalon Castle is Potter Castle?"
"Yep, it has so many books; the House elves that stay there; goes and order books every century to keep up the library."
"Wait but doesn't history say Morgan and Merlin were enemies?"
"History, they never get things right; doesn't history say that I went to fight Dragons after I defeated Lord Moldymort or was it Moldyvort?"
"Who is Moldyvort?"
"Peeves nick name for Voldemort, after I beat him the second time, at the Battle of Hogwarts.
"So Harry; what about a Potion's lab that you own?"
"Harry, Ginny what's taking so long?" they heard a voice behind them.
The two turned around and saw the younger twins just standing there looking at them with a worried /overprotective look on their faces.
"I guess they don't want me to know you other than their little sister; we'll talk later, let's not make them jealous." Harry said. "I decided to relax here." Harry called back.
After they all went back to the lake they were called in for dinner. While at dinner Harry made small conversation with the rest of the family, they talked about school, both Harry and Ginny (They were sitting next to each other), when Harry removed the note the owl took off. He opened it and blocked it from view of Ron and Wes; who were trying to see who it was from. Harry read it through the link since Ginny would be able to see it anyway (They had practiced their sight sharing, so now it was second Nature to them).
"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Potter,
It has come to our attention that you are now mates (married). I therefore request a meeting with both of you to discuss important financial and other matters. It would be most crucial to set up a meeting for as soon as possible since these matters must be discussed and dealt with as soon. You may bring a single companion (Besides your mate) with you if needed.
Torick,
Head of Potter vaults in Gringotts Wizarding Bank"
"What does it say Harry?" Arthur asked.
"Can I tell you later to night?" Harry asked. "I have to talk to you about a few things anyways."
"Of course Harry; whatever you need Harry." Molly said.
"What about me?"
"You're brother's are already suspicious if I asked if you could stay down here when I talk to your parents they might think something's up, they are your brothers after all, when you all go up to your room just have Gandalf Flame you down into the living room."
"Good idea."
An hour later all but Harry, Molly and Arthur were in the living room.
"So what is this all about?" Arthur asked.
"We should wait for Ginny." Harry said.
"Why did she go upstairs?" Molly asked.
"To confuse you two and make her brothers less curious to what the letter said." He said with a laugh.
A few seconds later Ginny flamed into the room with Gandalf. Arthur waved his wand and set up privacy charms.
"Sorry I'm late." Ginny said with a laugh.
"You're not late this meeting is right on time." Harry said; pulling her next to him on the mix matched couch. "The meeting officially started with your arrival." Pulling her close to him.
"Why thank you kind sir." She said laughing. Harry started smiling; This Ginny was starting to act like his Ginny.
"You're Ginny? Oh wait the other Ginny." Ginny thought.
"Yep." Harry said. "But I like you just as much. Besides with this bond you're my Ginny."
"You know I like the sound of that. Does this mean that you're my Harry?"
"Yes; I think it does."
"Can we please continue?" Molly asked getting annoyed at the silent conversation going on.
"Right where should we start?" Harry asked aloud.
"Our arrangement with Gandalf; so we don't give mom a heart attack in the morning?" Ginny replied.
"Right you are."
"What arrangement is this?"
"Remember when in the memory me and Ginny have to sleep together, well we made a deal with Gandalf saying he'll block us from entering the others room while we are at Hogwarts during the nights before summer. So we have to do it starting tonight."
"Yes Arthur and I have talked about it as well." Molly said. "We trust you both of you."
"Thank you Mum." The two said together. That brought a tear of happiness to Molly's eye; Harry calling her mum like that.
"What about the letter?" Arthur asked.
"That was from Gringotts, it's about since Harry is legally an adult in the wizarding world along with me. Well Harry has to deal with his Family vault, and since I'm his Mate; that's what the Goblins call me; since I am married to him, I can also have accesses to his vault, which we need to go there tomorrow." Ginny said, while Harry handed over the letter.
"Good thing we were going to Diagon Ally tomorrow; right?" Harry asked.
Molly and Arthur looked at Harry.
"Ron and Wes's Owls?" Harry said. "So this is my plan; we six go, us two, Ron, Wes, and you two, go tomorrow. That's where we split up Mum you can take Ron and Wes to the Owl shop and dad can take us to Gringotts. Then me and Ginny will try and make it quick then meet you there. After we get the Owls I have some things to get, and Ginny and dad can stay with me, mostly for Ginny's protection, at least until I can get something for her from the… regard that last little bit."
"What business do you have?" Molly asked.
"I have a few places to go; Olivander's for one have to pick up a few gifts there. I saw a glasses place see if they have contacts for me, these glasses do have a tendency to fall off at the unlikeliest of times and a new trunk, maybe a trunk for Ginny; and I will be giving Ron or Wes my old one or by two new ones."
"Really Harry?"
"Yes I will, they deserve something new well sort of new." Harry said. "We are going to get two of the same type trunks; House grade I think. I'll handle most of the dealing's since I do have the experience." Harry said through the link.
"Of course I'll let you handle them I think you can be far more threatening than I can be."
"That's very funny, my dear."
"I don't know Harry; some trunks are very are very expensive." Arthur said. "Some go past a thousand Galleons."
"I can handle money." Harry said. "From What the Sorting hat said, that my family comes from ancient lines of witches and wizards, I have more money than my trust vault." Harry said. Sending a picture of his Family vault to Ginny; who gasped in shock.
"You have that much?" Ginny said.
"What did you tell her?" Molly asked cautiously.
"I sent her a picture of my vault."
"Oh." Molly said awkwardly.
"Also if you wake up tomorrow and we're not in either one of our rooms, don't worry; Gandalf wants us to train our bodies so that we will be able to cast more spells and not get tired from it easily."
They talked for a few more minutes then headed off to bed. Gandalf woke the kids before the sun was up the next morning.
"How did the two you sleep?" Gandalf asked.
"I slept better than Fine." Harry whispered so they wouldn't wake Fang, and then gave a huge yawn.
"Me too." Ginny whispered as well, and also gave a huge yawn. "What time is it?"
"Tempis revealus." Harry muttered groggily.
Four green luminescent numbers appeared out of nowhere, a zero, a five, and two more zeros.
"Five o'clock; you are waking us up at five in the morning." Harry said tiredly.
"Go put on your training clothes." Gandalf said.
Harry went to his room to get dressed while Ginny stayed in her room to get dressed. Once together in Ginny's room, Gandalf grabbed them and flamed to the lake. Once they were stretched and got ready to exercise; Gandalf told them what to do. Two hours later the sun started to rise and the kids walked up to the house sweating up a storm.
"I am going to get Gandalf, making us wake up at five; two hours before even the sun get's up; then he makes us; run around the lake, do push-ups, sit-ups, plus learning to cast silently and wandlessly, what is with that crazy bird." Ginny complained.
"He's just trying to get us fit, I say we should invite some of our friends here and we start training them like this bur make them start at six. For Fred and George, and possibly Ron and Wes we tell them it will help for Quidditch; which it is, everyone else no idea."
As they entered the kitchen they were met by a startling aroma; of Mrs. Weasley's cooking.
"Aw, there you are I was wondering where you were?" Molly said giving them a hug. "I think you should get a shower, no offence but you two do stink a bit." releasing them from the hug.
"Who stinks?" a voice coming from the living room said.
"Was that who I think it was?" Ginny asked excitedly, with a smile sneaking on to her face.
"Yep; arrived a few minutes before the both of you." Molly said.
Just then a red headed came in he had a fang earring on his left ear, with his hair in a pony tail. When he saw Harry and Ginny he blinked like he was seeing something that no one else could.
"Mother; why do these two share souls?" He said to Molly. He turned to Ginny. "Also why my little sis hasn't given me a hug yet?"
"You can see auras can't you?" Harry asked.
"Yes I can." Bill said calmly
"Unless you want to get a whiff of your "little sis" as you call her; who stinks from running around the lake and the Orchard since five this morning, you don't want a hug from me."
"I'll tell him why you two shower up and wait for breakfast."
The two started walking up the stairs.
"Why don't we when we get up stairs we use the cleaning spell that Gandalf taught us?"
"Good idea, to bad until we start the mental stage then we can do whatever we want together." Ginny said smiling.
They split up into their separate rooms, and got changed and washed up thanks to magic; but they took; they time to make it seem that they were taking turns in the shower. They heard walking on the stairs.
"Oh yeah, so how about when we get back we start on you Animagus forms; Starting with your Phoenix, then I will have to wait until Gandalf teaches you it's abilities, then I will teach you how use them in your human form, which would go directly into your other Animagus forms, think of a fox flaming into a field or breathing fire in front of everyone?" Harry asked. "It's wicked, though they will try and capture you." Harry laughed. "So how do you think we missed Bill arriving? Man it's good to see him whole…" Harry gulped. "Forget I said that, you'll know soon enough, anyways."
"We must have been in the Orchard when he arrived. Why didn't you sense him?"
"I was too busy watching you."
Ginny blushed at that last comment; and Harry felt it. A few seconds later they arrived down stairs to see Ron, Wes, Bill, and Molly eating. Ginny ran over to Bill and gave him a hug. Then sat next to Harry and then both started eating.
"So Bill what are you doing here?" Ginny asked through her bites.
"Mom alerted me about your new skill in Magic sis; and the new member of the family." Bill said, winking at Harry; who instantly knew that Molly had told him all about Harry and Ginny's bond before Ron and Wes came down stairs. Ron and Wes looked confused at the comment made about Ginny, to notice the double meaning to Bill's second statement. "Then she said that today you lot here will be going to Diagon Ally and I thought I would help; dad had to go to work for the day something about Mundungus getting into trouble, again."
"When are we going?" Ron asked.
"As soon as you lot are finished eating." Molly said.
"Yes; we get our own owls soon." They said together.
"Oh yeah and then I can owl Hermione." Ron said.
"Well I can owl Fay." Wes said. Fey was the same year that had an attraction to Wes and Vise versa.
They finished eating and everyone used the Floo. Once there Molly took Ron and Wesley around the Alley until Harry, Ginny and Bill were done at Gringotts, while Harry, Ginny and Bill went to the Bank (Ginny used the excuse of not seeing Bill in awhile to go with them). When the three reached the steps of Gringotts, Harry pulled Harry and Ginny aside, near an alley.
"Look I know about the Bond that you two share, and what it entails; and I promise not to reveal what I heard from mum and dad, or if I can come with you two when you talk to Torick or anything else you two chose to or have to do today."
Once there Harry asked for Torick, who walked up to the three.
"Good Evening Mr. Potter; nice to meet you." Torick said.
"Ah Torick; may your gold flow and may you gain as much gold for as long as you live." Harry said.
Bill just looked dumb struck.
"Follow me." Torick said. "Ah… Mr. Weasley… since you a Gringotts employee, you can come if they want you too."
"Yes he may." Ginny said. "He's our gust."
"Then you may." Torick said.
They all went into Torick's office where Harry and Ginny were able to get everything in order. The Potter line was so Rich it turns out he could by the world over ten times over and still have enough to by the Galaxy. Turns out Harry had a lot of controlling interests in lot's of companies including; Daily Prophet, Nimbus Broom comp. (the creators of the Nimbus line as well as the Firebolt line); He was the owner of the Holyhead Harpies and owned the Chudley Cannons (much to Ginny's Delight and once he told them Ron and Wes excitement), and many others both Companies, teams and He actually owned the whole league somehow. He also found out that he has a seat on the Wizengamot (He decided, to wait till he was ready to claim the seat so around fifteen or when he was properly married to the beautiful girl next to him; when he thought that, that thought made Ginny blush very deeply). Besides Potter Mansion, castle, and Manor, he owned tons of buildings and land; both non-magical and magical, in every location including three shops right next to each other in Diagon Alley; Harry made sure that no one would buy them until he had a chance to talk to the eldest set of twins to see if they wanted to start their business earlier than they're last two year of Hogwarts; to his surprise he owned number four Privet drive (a side note from his mom told him to let her sister remain there without any disturbances; which Harry wouldn't do as the note said.) he even had controlling interests in muggle companies, including the one his uncle works at; Grunning's Drills (Harry asked to have a team of investigators look into his uncle just in case his uncle had did something to the company that Harry didn't like). He also owned tons land and he also owned vacation homes in many spots around the world.
"Do you need anything else, Mr. Potter?"
"Please; call me Harry; I understand that there is a trace placed on underage wizards to prevent us using magic outside of Hogwarts. I also understand that there is a goblin made ward necklace that can be used to block this trace, along with a few other features."
"What features?" Torick asked instantly, this was against the law, but Harry knew wizarding law meant very little to goblins.
"A password activated shield ward, an anti possession ward and four Portkey stones, again these should be password activated, safety Apparition, also instructions for if I want to add some more runes."
"This can be easily done. Where would the Portkey's lead too?"
"I'll create the Portkey locations myself."
"Very well, the cost will be five hundred galleons, as you are aware this is breaking wizarding law." The old goblin muttered with a greedy gleam in his eye that Harry knew was simply because goblins were a little greedy by nature but completely trustworthy if you were honest and respected them.
"I'd like sixteen, don't worry you can trust me as Hogwarts Heir, and I'll throw in an extra five hundred galleons"
"You mentioned a second matter?"Torick enquired.
"Yes, I'd like to purchase a goblin made dagger two of them one for me and another one for my mate." Harry said. "I'll even add five hundred Galleons for them to be done as quickly as it can
Torick rocked back in his chair.
"You know what you are asking?"
"I do, if you have a quill and parchment, I have a specific set of requirements."
Torick handed over the quill and parchment. Harry wrote down the requirements then passed it to Torick.
"Oh; my Mate and I would each like a Gringotts bag linked to our vault."
"I'll see to your necklaces, I'll return shortly Mr. Potter."
"Torick, you are the guardian of my vaults and money, I insist you call me Harry." Harry said politely
The elderly goblin grinned, which Harry found rather disconcerting "Very well… Harry." He left.
Torick returned a few minutes later, he passed over the necklaces, they were a simple leather cord with eight engraved black square stones hung from it, he handed over a piece of parchment with its instructions for use, along with two Bags linked to the Family vaults. When they left Harry hesitated then sent a Patronus to Mrs. Weasley telling her to meet them at the owl store. Once everyone got there Harry and Ginny bought two Owls for Ron and Wes. The owl's names were Pigwidgeon (Which was Ron's; who wasn't excited about the name, the owl was); a White-Faced Scops owl, the other was Eagle an Eagle owl (Wes's owl). Harry saw Crookshanks and reserved him for Hermione (She had told him that she wanted a pet soon; her parents also wanted one, but they told Hermione that she'd have to take care of the pet she gets), it was Ginny's idea.
"Come on Gin, Harry let's go home and show the owls new home."
"Actually I have to do some things around here first, Bill has agreed to stay with me and Ginny wants to hang out with Bill a bit more." Harry lied.
"That was a good lie." Ginny said.
"I learned from the best."
"Who taught you?"
"You taught me along with some pretty good flying techniques; my little flier holder of one reserve spot on her favorite team. This year I'll show you what techniques you taught me."
"Let's go home Ron, Wes, they'll be back later, probably after lunch." Molly said.
Ron, Wes and Molly left the store. The three left the pet store and made their way down the alley to Traloe Finest Travelling Wears .The shop was small but spotlessly clean, a number of different trunks graced one wall, and Harry saw a magical tent, expandable bags and a wall of accessories. He made a point of carefully looking around and reading the small signs indicating what each product was and did. The last time they were here Harry had picked up the standard school trunk without a second thought and didn't even get an expandable bag.
"How can I help you?" A middle aged wizard in a blue robe appeared.
"Yes, can you please can you explain the different trunks to us please?"
"Of course young sir, well we have the standard school trunk, that we can place a lightning charm for easy handling, a wardrobe trunk, a specialist potions trunk, but they are mainly for healers, a general expanded two compartment trunk, those are rather popular with Hogwarts students. Then we have the five compartment and seven compartment travelling Auror/professional trunks these can all be shrunk for easy carriage and of course come with a variety of security features."
"Can you explain the house trunk?" Harry asked innocently pointing to the trunk on the far end of a row b hind him.
The salesman launched into his spiel, home trunk but can add more rooms with the right spell, that can be accessed via key or blood lock. "You can have as many rooms as you like of course, with different features if needed, bathrooms, library etc, though they do get a bit expensive, especially with furniture, the cheapest model is almost a thousand gallons so they are out of most people's price range." The wizard said knowingly, thinking that the boy in front of him was just curious, after all people often asked after things that they really couldn't afford.
"If I were to order two, when would it be ready?" The sales wizard looked a bit shocked at being asked that question by Harry.
"The earliest we could have they would ready would be in three hours."
"Okay, we'll take two Home trunks with instructions to add more rooms if necessary, can I see an options list and I'll mark what I want."
He handed over a long parchment and quill, two minutes later Harry handled it back, the salesmen who Harry found out was the owner Mr. Traloe looked over the parchment and his eyes bulged.
"This would be significantly more expensive, nearly six thousand galleons."
"Throw in thirteen of the small communication mirrors and five expandable book bags, and a five room tent with fully functioning bathroom and a Pool you've got a deal." Harry held out his hand waiting for Mr. Traloe to shake it, which he did.
Harry and Ginny selected a Green and Red dragon hide messenger style bag, with a thumb lock similar to the trunk they selected (They got the same one as Ginny's for Hermione, and the same one Harry got for Ron and Wes). He made sure that it would be big enough for everything they wanted to buy, and he left a thousand galleon deposit and left the shop with the thanks of its owner.
Harry had bought nearly two hundred and fifty books in Flourish and Blotts, including the book list up to and including seventh year (Minus all of Lockhart's books; which Ginny really wanted, but Harry put his foot down {Mentally at least} he told Ginny why they wouldn't {Again mentally so no one would hear Lockhart's big secret} plus the other Ginny had a good memory and she remembered everything from her second year; well when she wasn't being possessed, which included all the Lockhart's books; as well that they'd have to get them later for school) for his and Ginny's trunk.
Harry and Ginny then headed for Jane's Optics'. The shop looked very much like a standard opticians, except as well as glasses there were also magical eyes similar to Mad Eye Moody's watching him as soon as he entered the shop, which in his opinion looked a bit creepy but they tried to ignore them. They walked up to the counter and rang the bell, a second later a thin Witch emerged from behind the curtain wearing white robes.
"What can I do for you young sir." She asked cheerfully.
Harry grinned; he'd always liked cheerful people. "I'd like to find out about some contact lenses, I'd like to be able to get rid of my glasses; they get knocked off at the most unlikely times and places."
She walked closer to him, Harry saw that she spotted his scar but said nothing. "Completely understandable, you have remarkable eyes, why hide them with glasses, we have a complete range."
"Do you have ones that can change your eye color?"
"Yes of course, but why?"
"Yeah; why? You have a Beautiful eye color." Ginny said.
"I am famous," He grinned. "It will help me go unnoticed when I don't want the attention."
"Understandable, do you want any other features?"
"Yes, I'd like to be able to see people in invisibility cloaks and disillusioned people, and maybe not needing sunglasses."
The clerk was a bit surprised but when she realizes who Harry was that this was probably a good idea.
"Erm, I'd also like to see in the dark, it could come in handy." Harry said "Especially when we're sneaking about Hogwarts for places to Snog." He added to Ginny; who blushed.
"I'll be back in just a few moments Mr. Potter." And she was; Harry was quickly fitted with new contacts.
"These are permanent contact lenses, so you leave them in all the time, they will self clean, even stay in if you're under water, they will even adjust to your eyes if you eyes change prescriptions, plus they are very comfortable. Invisible people show up as dark red and glow, to change the color all you have to do is concentrate on your eyes and the color you'd like to change them to. For night vision again just concentrate on being able to see in the dark, the lenses will do the rest, it takes a bit of practice, but after a few days it will be old hat." She said as Harry put them in.
"Excellent." He looked at himself in the mirror; Harry took great pleasure in dumping his glasses in the rubbish bin and headed out of the shop.
Next they went to Olivander's for wand holsters, Where Harry bought eighteen Holsters with a metal plate on top, plus a another regular one and he put them in his bag.
"What you're not giving one of them to me yet?" Ginny asked.
"I have to, well more like need to put a few charms around and a few runes on them and your guy's wands and the holsters first for extra precaution." Harry said.
The three left and headed to the entrance to Diagon Alley to have lunch, that's when Harry stopped having an idea.
"I would like both of you to wait right here, so I can go grab a few things, Remember you're promise Bill." Harry said. "Actually wait by the entrance of the alley, I'll be right back."
The two siblings left Harry. Before he took the exit for Knockturn Alley he carefully looked around for invisible people, there were none, if anyone did happen to see him or asked. He made his way down the darkened street with his wand in his hand just in case; heading towards Borgin and Burkes, changing his eye color to black and casting small spells to change his faces features and hide his scar that he learned during his days of an Auror. He walked straight in with a purpose, straight up to the counter.
"Yes?" Borgin asked "What do you want!?"
"Do you speak to all your customers like that? Because I can leave and not spend a galleon." Harry said calmly; just calm enough for it to be threatening. He knew Borgin responded to either power or money, and that his age wouldn't matter as long as he was spending gold.
"I apologies what can I do for you?" with an irritated tone.
"How much is the vanishing cabinet?" Harry pointed to the triangular cabinet on the far side of the wall opposite of himself.
"That will be Seven hundred galleons." Borgin answered clearly still irritated at Harry.
"How about I give you twenty, and I don't tell the Ministry some of your Darker dealing's along with the bewitching of muggle artifacts." Harry said, making his eye's glow blood red and sending some magic out; enough magic to put huge cracks in the counter and shake some items on shelves up to three isle's away from them; Borgin stepped back in shock; making a move of grabbing one of several wands that was hidden among the room. "I know a person who would love to raid this place. I'll also tell him to bring a few Auror's since you have so many hidden wands in this place; Like the one you are about to reach for." Borgin stopped reaching for a wand, feeling even more scared than humanly possible. "Along with that you help out Death eaters so they wouldn't get sent to Azkaban by buying their items."
"Of course, twenty galleons; seven hundred indeed I don't know what I was thinking; that's ridicules." Borgin said obviously shaken and scared.
"Can it be shrunk so that it fits in my bag here?"
"Of course it can be shrunk."
Harry started pulling coins from his money bag, Borgin's eyes bulged; this was the scariest sale he'd had in years. "I also want the Hand of Glory." Adding two more coins to the pile and making his glow even brighter.
Borgin hurriedly walked over to the Vanishing cabinet and shrunk it; then handed it to Harry telling him how to make it its original size and how to shrink it again; then handed him the Hand of Glory passed it to Harry as well. Harry thanked the man and put the things in his expandable bag till he could put it in his trunk. Harry stopped his magic from flowing.
"Remember tell no one that I bought these; or else." Eye's still glowing.
He walked out returning his eye's too normal, along with his face.
"These Contact lenses best purchase ever, Ginny; tell Bill I'm coming I only have one more stop to make."
Harry left the ally then ducked into a shop that sells muggle items and bought a baseball hat to cover his scar; once outside Harry bewitched it to have the Holyhead Harpies logo on it plus another spell to shift through all the teams logo's he owned with a tap of his wand, and then he went to meet Ginny and Bill. They went to the Leaky cauldron for lunch (Ginny paid since she wanted to and never been able to before). An hour later they picked up the two trunks plus another trunk for Wesley. After they grabbed the trunks, then they went back to Gringotts. Back at Gringotts Harry and Ginny went down to the vaults where they put the portraits of the founders from the founder's vaults and the singular vault, along with a map of Hogwarts which in Harry's eye's (since he studied the Marauders map so much) that this map showed more rooms that not even his dad much less the eldest Weasley twins have found in the bags along with the Portkey's to the Mansion, manor, and castle. They went to the Merlin Vault and found portrait of both Merlin and Morgana; which wasn't active either, and put it in Harry's bag as well.
When they got to the surface they met up with Bill, they went to Quality Quidditch supplies to buy some Jerseys to wear to bed (Mostly Holyhead Harpies though they bought a surprise for Ron, and Wes). Then they went back to the Burrow.
"Finally what took you so long?" Percy asked.
"My new trunk took a bit of time to fix." Harry said, not mentioning that Ginny also had a trunk.
Harry and Ginny went up stairs to unpack. They went into Ginny's room where Fang was still sleeping on the bed, where they first went into Harry's trunk since he knew his way around. After Harry guided her around he motioned to one door that was locked.
"You know where that door leads?"
"Where does it lead?" Ginny asked
Ginny saw where it leads in Harry's mind.
"My Trunk; but how?" Ginny asked.
"Well think of it like this if we were separated somehow we would be able to see each other, but this way we can have some fun, tease you're brothers. Also if Hermione, Susan, or Luna stay's over, we just go into our trunks and sleep together ether in my trunk or your trunk, we just have to make sure no one sees us, and we have to use the burrow's bathroom; as an added precaution." Harry sat down in the chair by the desk, and started writing a letter, and a list of ingredients and instructions, then another list. They headed out of the trunk Ginny followed closely just loving being near Harry. Once there Harry made sure the door was closed. "Dobby." He said.
With a crack, Dobby appeared on Ginny's bed, not disturbing Fang at the very least.
"What can I do for Master and/or Mistress?" Dobby asked.
"First of all call me Harry and her Ginny. Second do you know where all my properties are?"
"Yes, Mast… Harry, yes I do, as you're House elf, I do know where your properties are."
"Right, this is what I want to do; first go to the mansion, the one with the potion Lab, and give the house elf in charge these letters." Harry handed Dobby the letters.
"Is there anything else Mast… Harry?"
"Yes tell the head House Elf, that he should contact the other head House Elves form my other houses to copy my rules for the house elves for the different homes."
"You're rules are different then?" Dobby asked with a worried expression.
"Yes, but in a good way, tell them that I am staying in the burrow, and if they need to talk about my rules send the head elf only if I'm alone, if Ginny is around that's ok."
"Of course Harry."
"That's all."
Dobby Apperated out of the room.
"What were the Rules?" a voice behind them said.
The two looked around to see Bill standing at the door.
"Do I even want to know?"
"That's between me and the Elves, oh and Ginny of course." Giving her a one armed hug.
"Does the Potter line actually own a potions lab?" Bill asked.
"Yeah, any type of potion no matter what." Harry said.
"I'll want to check that out." Bill said.
"Maybe you can come with us, when we go visit?"
"Harry, Ron, Wes we have a visitor." Mrs. Weasley yelled up the stairs.
Harry used his Phoenix sense to see who it was, and then he let out a mental laugh. Then they heard rumbling on the stairs, a few seconds later Ron and Wes were at Ginny's door.
"Come on Harry; let's see who it is." Wes said.
"It's Draco." Harry said.
"How do you know?" Bill said.
"Gandalf told me." Harry lied smoothly.
They group went down stairs to find Draco sitting on the couch with his stuff right next to him.
"Hey guys." Draco said.
"Sup, Malfoy." Harry said, with a small grin. "Hey you lasted longer than I thought. Ginny I owe you fifty Galleons." He said with a smile.
"Ha, Ha; very funny." Draco said. "But yeah, they noticed that I have a different personality now, and they didn't like and practically disowned me."
"So what did you do?" Ron asked. "What happened?"
"Treated the House elves with respect; they thought I was sick, then there was just differences that my parents noticed, like the picture we had Fred take of us, you know the one at Christmas; with all of us side by side laughing our heads off with Hagrid."
"Oh yeah; that was the best day ever." Ron said.
"Sure was, well you know my dad is Harry, somehow he spotted Hermione was a first gen; then I used that term, then he went off on me started saying that I was a disgrace for becoming friends with a first Gen; he didn't exactly say First Gen but I don't feel comfortable using that word again, so I had Bilbo Pack my stuff, then after he was done I told him to be good, I would have brought him with me but he belongs to dad, He treats Bilbo the worst, to bad he's the best cook in the whole world. Though I did manage to filch my trust vault key; from under my Dad's pale nose before I left." Holding up a gold key he got from his pocket.
"Hate to break it to yeah Draco, Mum is better than anyone, including house elves." Ron and Wes said together.
"Hey; I haven't even to cook for you yet." Harry said. "I owe you another ten Galleons Ginny and everyone here home cooked meal by me."
"Harry you cook?" Ron asked.
"Yeah; my old relatives made me cook breakfast, lunch on weekends or during the summer, and sometimes dinner." Harry said. "Never got to taste it though but it if it was bad they'd beat me up." Remembering all the times he was beat by the Dursley's; tears to his eyes. "But after the years went by and by my tenth birthday I'd stop getting beat unless they distract me and caused me to burn something but nothing was ever good enough for them. Sorry I guess it still hurts to think about them."
"It's okay Harry; sorry I didn't mean to bring up old memories." Ron said.
"It's okay; Ron." Harry said.
"Hey Harry; I just noticed something, you don't have your glasses anymore; what happened?" Draco asked. Ron and Wes looked at Harry's face.
Harry flashed his eyes from his green to chocolate brown just like Ginny's eye; freaking out everyone in the room, Minus Ginny and Bill then turned them back.
"I have contact lenses now." Harry asked. "The color change is fun since I can freak people out."
"Wicked." Ron and Wes said simultaneously.
That afternoon Wes showed Draco around and to Charlie's old room, while Ron sent letters to Hermione, Neville, and Susan inviting them over for Harry's surprise birthday Party on July 31st and Ginny's birthday party on August 11th (or come early and stay for the holidays in Hermione case {and Fay when Wes wrote to her}). While Harry went with Ginny to practice Ginny's Animagus forms, and Harry mad a wand for Sirius and a second wand for himself and Ginny (He was getting better results for his Wand Making), and cast spells and put runes on the wand holders. Ginny mastered the Phoenix form within an hour of trying then Gandalf came and trained her in the Phoenix ways and power. Harry plucked four tail feathers from Ginny with his telekinesis (telling her they would grow back very quickly) and added them to his first wand, her fist wand one more of his and hers and Gandalf's for their second wand. That night he sent an oak, fourteen inches, and Phoenix tail feather (His own) along with a one of the improved holsters to Sirius via Gandalf; just in case Hedwig would get intercepted (which he thinks she is since he sent some letters to Hermione through Hedwig and no response have came).
The next few days had a similar order for Harry and Ginny; wake up, exercise until Gandalf said stop, work on wandless and wordless spell casting (Gandalf was teaching them about spells that haven't been in text books or not known except in the Potter line in centuries; one was a shield that could block anything including all three unforgivable curses; they haven't had any time or privacy to wake up the portraits yet but they figured that they could activate them once at Hogwarts), breakfast, try and fail to get alone time without training schedules, lunch, Quidditch (Harry finally convinced Ron and Wes to let Ginny play; Harry and Ginny vs. Ron Draco, and Wes, which the two flattened the three; the twins had to be clean the chicken coops or they would have played, and Bill said he'd watch), Dinner (Sometimes Harry and Ginny helped), after Dinner Ginny and Harry would either go to the Orchard or Ginny's or Harry's trunk to practice her Phoenix power's (which she could do in both her Phoenix form and human form after the second day; thanks to Harry's help) or practice her Animagus forms. As soon as Ginny got her Phoenix powers down in her human form, Fawkes and Gandalf told them that since they were the only ones to have a complete Phoenix form (Everyone else had died through flame) that the Phoenix King and Queen adopted them into the royal Phoenix family making them Prince and Princess of the Phoenixes realm along with telling them more things about the bond that the only the king knows about. Finally and sometimes at night Harry would teach Ginny how to cook in her trunk (Since it had a fully loaded Kitchen in it as well as his that would replenish if supplies got low) and Harry added some runes to the necklaces and placed the Portkey's. On the sixth day when they went in to get breakfast they noticed Mrs. Weasley wasn't down yet.
"I guess we should start cooking?" Ginny asked.
"Without magic just in case one of your brothers or Draco gets up and comes down stairs early." Harry said.
They silently cast cleaning charms on themselves along with clothes changing charms, and then got to work in the kitchen. The two worked liked a well oiled machine. After a while Draco came down at seven thirty, smelling the food; just as Harry and Ginny were getting their food.
"Hey you two; why are you up so early?"
"We've been training for two hours or so. Starting next week you guys will start." Harry said. "Good for sports." He added as he saw Draco's face.
"Wait what!?" Draco said
"Don't worry; you guys can get up at six." Ginny said.
"When do you wake up?" Draco asked nervously.
"We get up at five." Harry and Ginny said together.
"I don't think that I could get up at five."
The two laughed.
"So what's for breakfast?"
"We have; Hot cakes, fresh fruit, Sausage, scrambled eggs, and pumpkin juice." Ginny said.
"I cooked it all; with help from; Ginny."Harry said.
"I only helped a bit." Ginny said.
"Yeah; but if you didn't help there wouldn't be enough for everyone at the Burrow." Harry said.
Ginny blushed. Draco sat down and started filling his plate.
"What is going on with you two?" Draco asked.
"What do you mean?" Ginny and Harry asked together a grin sliding onto their faces, and then taking another bite of food.
"That's exactly it; it's been a week at most since you've been here Harry but you two act like you've known each other for months, years even you even eat and drink at the same time then sometimes you slip and talk at the same time." Draco took a big bite of food. "Ooh; is is ome ood ood!" He swallowed. "I mean; this is some good food!" He started eating whenever he had a chance. "Better than Bilbo's cooking." He muttered sadly.
"Oh… that… you see." Ginny said nervously.
"We exchanged letters over the past year." Harry said.
"So this is the mystery girl you've been writing too; should your brothers know about this?" Draco teased with a smiled.
"Not if you want to get pranked." Harry said with a sly grin.
"You wouldn't dare?" Draco said his smile turning to a frown mixed with worry.
"I might not." Harry said. Draco's face lightened a bit. "Ginny would though, and I might help her, or the twin's the older set at least." Harry took a breath. "I was thinking we should follow in my dad's steps starting this new school year."
"Besides getting pranked in this family is a rite of passage, along with pulling pranks." Ginny added quickly.
"I'll have to remember that Ginny." Draco said. "What do you mean Harry?"
"My dad, Sirius, and someone, that we might see soon; if I know any better; which I think I do, along with Peter." He said Peter's name with disgust. "Well all four were Massive Pranksters when they were in Hogwarts."
"You think we should become pranksters ourselves?" Draco asked with a confused look on his face.
"Yes I do; if my hunch for the new D.A.D.A. teacher is he won't be much help; so he can be our main prank target, along with the Slytherin's."
"Oh, I call pranking Crabbe and Goyle." Draco said with a wicked grin on his face.
"Oh you won't be the only one; I say we get Fred and George on our side." Harry said.
"Why them?" Draco asked.
"They're the best Pranksters in the school right now." Ginny said.
"They haven't met my Prankster side yet." Harry told Ginny through the link since their mouths were full of food. "Plus I know some of my dad's old tricks from his journals that I was able to read before my whole mess got started."
"I said "right now"." Ginny replied.
The rest arrived at breakfast table at that moment; they all sat down and began eating.
"Wow, Harry you sure can cook." Ron said.
"Oh yeah better than mum's, no offence mum." Wes said.
"Non-taken; this is really good." Molly said.
"Thanks; I made it with love for my new family." Harry said with a smile. "Plus Ginny helped; or there wouldn't be enough food for today."
The both sets of twins choked on their food, almost spitting it out. Harry and Ginny were fighting back laughs.
"Don't worry; I did the actual cooking, though even if I did let her cook some of this marvelous food she wouldn't embarrass me by pranking you through the food we made." Harry said smiling huge.
"Though you may want to make sure you do your own laundries while you are at home." Harry hinted. The two sets of twins looked nervous
"What was that all about?"
"I have an idea for pranking them and I thought that since we have some interesting skills we can pull more pranks than both Fred and George."
"What does that particular prank involve?"
"A shrinking potion that only activates with body heat, and have their underwear or maybe all their clothes soaked in it but that might be for the Slytherins. What did you think I was doing last night while you were practicing cooking?"
"That will seem interesting, anything else?"
"Yeah, but our dear brothers will have to be out of their rooms for a while. You see last year I sort of found out who all your brothers fancy while teaching then Ocumencey. It's even funnier that a few of them like them as well. Not sure about Fred and George's crush but it will still be funny." Harry showed what he was planing.
Ginny Laughed out loud. Gaining her many curious looks from her family (except Molly, Arthur, and Bill; who was staying until the teens went off to Hogwarts) and Draco.
"They will be so mad let's do it when they go play Quidditch! Bill will play with them, I think, though he may want you to play as well."
"So Harry, what do you say about a game of Quidditch?" Ron asked right on cue.
"Yeah, we can see how those new moves at work; you know the ones that you keep bragging about." Wes said excitedly.
"Actually I was thinking, about relaxing today." Harry said.
"Bill will play with you won't you Bill." Ginny said.
"Why not; I'd love a game." Bill said.
The two sets of twins looked at Bill like he was crazy.
"Come on Bill you have to face Harry in Quidditch." George said.
"Best not forget ickle Gin-Gin; she and Harry whooped all five of us just yesterday." Fred added.
"He had a long day yesterday; he deserves some rest especially since he and Ginny whooped both of all five of you." Bill said. "And besides Ginny might not want to play besides from what I saw I don't think it I could help beat them."
The two sets twins left to the pitch with Bill and Draco. Ginny and Harry went up stairs to Ron and Wes's attic bed room; where they placed tons of enchantment's on their bed sheets, pillow cases, and posters. Then they walked down to the Oldest Twins room and placed the same enchantments on the same items, and Percy's room only charming the pillow. As well as Draco's new room.
They walked back to where the others were playing Quidditch. When they arrived they saw the game had stopped because of a giant black dog in the middle of the field that everyone was scared of; standing alongside the dog there was a person in raggedy brown robes (They probably thought it was Death; trying out a new look, and his Helping dog). As they approached, the dog looked around and smiled; as much as a dog can, then ran towards Harry. Harry bent down and started petting the dog.
"Hello Padfoot you lovable Grim you, How are you doing?" Harry said while scratching behind the left ear. "Better I guess since you're out of prison." He stood up.
In a blink of an eye the dog disappeared and in its place was a black haired person with his face a tad bit pale, but getting its color back; his pale face full of shock. The person in the raggedy clothes came up behind the man with the pale face.
"How'd you know that it was me?"
"Memories, Sirius, memories; and this must be Remus."
"How'd you know?" Remus asked.
"Well in his letter Sirius said he might bring an old friend of both him and my dad's."
"That's interesting, didn't know I wrote his name." Sirius said. "I know that I wrote his other name."
"You didn't Padfoot, I could have just used his Marauder name since it is on the map that I have as well, but I figured that he doesn't want anyone to figure out about his very misbehaved rabbit that act's up once a month."
Both Padfoot and Moony looked shock.
"I guess I should have told you I am a natural Legilimens, but I didn't need that to know about that, I was working with Madam Pomfrey over the school year and I saw some very discreet files that I stumbled upon accidently; of course it was when Madam Pomfrey wasn't looking though." Harry said with a smile, while watching everyone except Ginny was heading inside.
"James would so proud." Remus said with a huge grin.
"Oh no one's seen anything yet." Harry said.
Just then yells filled the air, both Harry and Ginny laughed. The two adults looked confused.
"Just a Prank on our Brothers." Harry said. "Well my somewhat adopted brothers, Ginny's real brothers."
They headed inside. Once in they were close enough they heard a talking, and Arguing.
"Look at our Pillows." Ron said. "Our whole room is set up like this."
As the four entered they saw what was on the five pillow cases. On Ron's pillow was a head Shot of Hermione, Wes's pillow had a head shot of Fay. The Twins pillow had a head shot of Katie and Angelina from the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Draco's pillow had head shot of Susan, and Percy's pillow was a head shot of his girl friend Penelope Clearwater; his girlfriend. All the headshots had a speech bubble that read 'I love you.'
"Hem- hem." Ginny interrupted the boy's.
Harry looked at Ginny with annoyance (and almost playfully slapped the back of her head). The past night they went over the event of Harry's fifth year as much as they can since the memorial stage hasn't happened yet.
"Harry; did you do this?" Ron said angrily.
"How could he; this involves magic." Wes said.
"Maybe it was a potion." George said.
"Or it could have been a powder." Fred said.
"Ether way you guys have been pranked." Ginny said.
"Wait was –"
"Your idea-"
"Little Gin-Gin-"
"Think carefully before answering." The four twins said.
"Don't call Her Gin-Gin, Or Gin for that matter." Harry said.
"I don't like it." Ginny said sternly.
"Besides how could she; she doesn't know who any of you fancy." Harry said with a grin forming.
Just then Pig came flying in with a letter for Ron. He opened it and read through it quickly.
"Hey Harry have you heard anything from Hermione or Fay?" Ron asked.
"No why?"
"Well Hermione said that she used Fay's owl sometimes since they live on the same street surprisingly, but the owl keeps going back to Fay's without a letter."
"Sounds like someone is blocking my mail." Harry said. "Any ways the Posters, sheets, and everything else will turn back to normal at the end of the summer."
Everyone looked at Harry stunned.
"You aren't worried that someone is blocking your mail Harry?"
"Um… well I can still use Gandalf; no one would dare stop him." Harry said pointing to the wand holster on Sirius's wrist.
"Oh thanks for the getting out of Azkaban present, I like it a lot." Sirius said. "Where'd you get the wand, I mean Oak, fourteen inches, Phoenix feather, it took to me in seconds, like it was made for me."
"It was made for you." Harry said. "I made it for you. Took me half the year to make a correct wand then to make it just as good as an Olivander's; but I think mine are just a tad bit more powerful than his. That wand doesn't have a Phoenix feather it has three."
Remus and Sirius looked at harry in shock. Sirius flicked out his wand from the holster.
"You made this?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah and I improved the holster." Harry said. "I added a few spells to the Wand Holsters; they will shrink the wand when it retracted, and returned it back to normal size when releasing it, an invisibility charm on it then no one would know we have them. If you lose your wand the holsters will summon them to it a few seconds after it senses the wand has left its place; it's difficult to explain, finally if you haven't drawn it yet no disarming charm will affect your wand while it's in the holster. If you notice the rune on your wand is the same as the rune on where the wand goes on the holster it's a complex rune that I made, say you lose your wand and you can't get it back, well there you have it the rune teleports your wand directly to the holster if it moves far enough away from that rune it teleports the wand directly to the holster no matter the distance, which I will put on all my friends wand since I have a holster for each of them, plus since these runes are invisible no one will tell your wands are different, I even added a rune so a spell called Pori Incantato, won't work."
"Really; you'd do that?" Ron asked.
"Of course it comes in handy if you get disarmed." Harry said. "Oh mum, dad; meet Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black, My god-farther my parents wanted me to stay with him if something happened to them."
"Yeah that is correct; I heard that Harry moved here, I was wondering if I could work out a compromise, with something Dumbledore told me about him and a certain Phoenix." Sirius said to Molly and Arthur quietly so only those two would hear them.
"Maybe we should talk after they go to bed." Mrs. Weasley said.
"Hey come on; Ginny and I would like to show you something it's so we can talk without being over heard." Harry said "Bill we'll leave the Portkey; which I put runes on it to be immune to anti Portkey wards, on the bed just in case, and we'll take the trunks. The Password is Manor. Something's in the air outside and I don't like the feel of it. Especially since Dumbledore hasn't been around to strengthen the wards" Harry waved his wand, nine holsters appeared. "Here are some wand Holsters for you all."
Bill nodded. Remus and Sirius followed Harry and Ginny to Harry's room (Ginny went into her room and walked back out after a few seconds). Harry summand the Portkey, then shrunk the trunk and put it in his pocket, the two adults looked amazed.
"Let's see if I can get through the wards. Just grab hold of the Feathers." Harry said. "Don't transform yet I want to make sure no one knows what you can do, besides if mum or dad, find out they might ask how I can, or if you can."
In a flash Harry transformed into a Phoenix, fang slithered around Ginny. The two adults looked dumb struck; the three others grabbed Harry's Tail feather, then fire surrounded them and disappeared.
Once the fire dissipated they were standing in a huge hall. Harry transformed back to normal.
"Welcome to Potter Manor home of lords and Ladies Potters throughout the ages." Someone said behind them.
The four people turned around and saw a house elf in fine silk clothes that bore the Potter Crest.
"My name is Azera." The house Elf said.
"Hello Azera. I'm-"
"I know who you are, young Master." Azera said. "Oh no I'm sorry I interrupted." She started to bang her head on the wall.
"I forbid you to punish yourself." Harry said. Azera stopped. "Didn't Dobby bring around the letters?" he asked curiously.
"Yes; he did we are still trying to memorize the new rules."
"Sorry; I should have put fewer rules down on the paper to start off." Harry said.
"No it's just the House elf rules that have been with us for thousands of years, we are trying."
"It's ok; you guys just need to practice." Harry said. "This is my God-farther Sirius Black, my God-Uncle, Remus Lupin; they will be living here if they want." They walked into a sitting room. "Azera; will you please bring us some Pumpkin juice, and some cake." 'Pop' Azera disappeared.
"Really Harry? We wouldn't want to intrude." Remus said.
"It wouldn't be a problem, even with your problem, Remus." Ginny said.
"You know?" Remus asked in shock.
"We share everything, and even more in a few months." Harry said.
"Are you talking about this Bond between you and This Red head here?" Remus asked.
"Yes it is. And she is; in every possible way, well not in the ministry's eyes, my wife."
The two adults started laughing like mad men. Three House elves came with the juice and Cake.
"The Potter Curse strikes again; don't worry… Actually, forget that", Sirius's smile only got wider,
"What's that?" Harry asked, even though he knew what it was.
"Potter men, like your father, have been cursed for generations... They always end up with a redhead... Seems like they're the only girls who can handle them..." Remus said through the laughter.
Harry found his face growing uncomfortably warm; He never heard the last part.
"You better get used to me then." Ginny said, through the link. "Because I think you're stuck with me."
They talked for three hours then they heard tons of screaming. Harry rushed into the hall way flicking his wand into his hand the others right behind them. When they approached the Portkey landing spot they saw bunch of red heads along with two pure blond head; one boy and one girl, the girl had tears running down her cheeks. Behind the group were three dementors and three people wearing masks.
"Incendio patronum" Harry thought. A fiery stag burst out of Harry's wand and shot towards the dementors, as soon as they touched the Patronus the dementor's disintegrated. "Stupefy." Harry said. Three red lights shot out of Harry's wand at once and hit the three masked people. The three masked people fell before they could even blink. "You guy's ok?"
"Yeah, we have no idea what happened." Molly said.
"We were out in back talking to Xeno Lovegood, he brought Luna over since he had to go do something and he had no idea when he'd get back." Bill said. "That's when we felt the Dementors coming, Stunners came fling, along with a killing curse; it hit Xeno; may he rest in peace." His eye's started watering, along with Luna's.
"We summoned the Portkey, and activated it that's when those three came running after us; once we touched the Portkey every spell they threw at us bounced off, even the unforgivable." Arthurs said. "What spell did you use against the Dementors?"
"Last year I read up on Dementors, they had one weakness; Fire, which no one was able to test it." Harry said. "So I came up with a few ideas on how to do use its weakness; a new Patronus." He took a breath. "How many more people in masks were there?"
"Besides the three, behind us?" Billy asked, pointing behind them. "Five; there were five."
"Azera; please take the people who are not stunned to the dining room; and get them some tea I think they need it oh and some chocolate. Ginny please go to the kitchen and get a calming draught, then take it to your family, Luna, and Draco and stay with them. They need you." Azera led the ten guests to the dining room; while Ginny led by Harry's memory went to the kitchen. "Dobby!" Dobby appeared. "Alert Dumbledore that there was an attack at the Burrow; tell him that I told you to bring him and Snape here, only those two; make sure they have Veritaserum enough for three. Bring them to the sitting room." Dobby disappeared. He waved his wand and ropes tied all three of attackers together, he then summoned their wands. "Wingardium Leviosa." He said with a wave of his wand, the three people levitated and Harry moved them to the sitting room. A few minutes later Dumbledore and Snape along with Dobby came into the room. "Hello Professors; glad you can make it. Here are three of the People responsible, I think that one of these or two of the five that remained at the Burrow, but probably escaped by now, what I mean is that one of the attackers is part of the Ministry of Magic; there were three Dementors there and here."
"What do you mean were?" Severus asked. "Where are they now?"
"I destroyed them."
"How did you?"
"A new Patronus charm; that I worked out while I was at school, I was hoping to get a chance to test it out, but I wasn't hoping that it wouldn't be so soon." Harry said. "It also helps with inferi."
"Well let's see what they were doing." Dumbledore said. He poured the Veritaserum into the middle ones mouth and removed the mask. There standing in front of them was Goyle's farther. Harry waved his wand and the two other's masks disappeared. The other two were the Carrow siblings.
"Shouldn't these two be in prison?" Harry asked.
"They were never prosecuted." Snape said.
"Ennervate!" Dumbledore said, with the elder wand pointed at Goyle.
"Are you Goyle Sr." Harry asked.
"Yes." He said.
"Did you attack the Weasley's home?" Dumbledore said.
"Yes."
"Were there Dementors?" Snape asked.
"Yes."
"Did you fire a Killing curse?" Harry asked.
"It was Alecto."
"Who controlled the dementors?" Dumbledore asked. "Was he there?"
"Walden Mcnair he was one of the others in the attack."
"Who led the Attack?" Snape asked.
"Mr. Parkinson; we saw him for ourselves."
"Stupefy." Harry said, pointing his wand at Goyle.
They repeated the Process with the two Carrow's.
"Well I think we should call for another emergency Wizengamot meeting." Albus said. "Dobby may I ask you to bring all five of us to the Ministry?"
Dobby looked at Harry; who nodded.
"Yes; Dobby can." Dobby said.
Snape and Dumbledore held onto the Death eaters; then Dobby Apperated them out.
Harry walked into the Dining room where he saw his family drinking out of goblets, and was crying, at the end of the table was Luna who wasn't drinking out of her goblet, and was silently crying. He also saw the owls that were at the Burrow (Errol laying on his back; either knocked out or dead, he couldn't tell; then Errol gave a twitch reassuring everyone that he was alive.). Harry saw Ginny and pointed to Luna; Ginny gave a nod of understanding. He walked over to Luna and rubbed her back.
"Hey Luna, I'm sorry about your father, and that you lost your mother when you were six." Harry said.
"How did you know that, Harry Potter?" Luna asked sadly. "Yes I know who you are, everyone does."
"Ginny told me." Harry said, it wasn't a total lie the other Ginny told him that his fifth year.
"You're wife? I see that, you and her have a bond between you two." Luna said a bit more cheery. "Why didn't you invite me to your wedding?"
"Don't worry when we have a proper wedding we'll invite you." Harry said. "How'd you know?"
"I saw your souls." Luna said. "You share half of each other's soul." She took a deep breath. "Why thank you Harry Potter for inviting me to the wedding when you have a proper one."
"Ginny's brothers; except Bill, don't know about what is between us, nor does Draco."
"Don't worry; I'll keep your secrets." Luna said.
"Harry; can I Apparate to the Burrow, I want to see what's happened to it?" Arthur yelled across the room to Harry.
"Gandalf please come here." Harry said. Gandalf flamed in, and flew over to Arthur. "Take him To the Burrow; any sign of trouble flame him back here right away; Dad, if the house is there don't go in there might be traps, also there might not be a home there." Gandalf flew over to Arthur.
"I know that Harry, but I just want to know." He said sadly.
With that they flamed out.
"So Luna where were we?" Harry asked. "Oh, you can stay here if you like."
"Really I can live…" Arthur appeared in on the center of the table.
"We can't go back." He gasped.
"Why can't we?" Molly asked with a worried expression.
"Do you want the bad news or do you want the worse news?" Molly gave him a stern look. "Well there are tons of traps around what's left of the…" He began a coughing fit, Gandalf flew on top of his head and tears were coming from his eyes landing on top of Arthurs head; Arthur's coughing fit slowed down.
"Good job, my guess is there some type of Poison magic surrounding the Burrow?" Harry asked.
"Yes; don't worry I healed him." Gandalf nodded.
"Thanks Gandalf I feel much better." Arthur said. "The worse news is that the Burrow is no more."
The Weasley's and Harry, and Draco were hart broken.
"Harry did you know that would happen?"
"No, I mean it didn't happen until the year after the muggle's found away to bypass some of our spells." Harry said. "Weasley's you may stay here if you wish."
"Where exactly are we?" Percy asked.
"Oh… I guess I didn't exactly tell you that…" Harry said. "Welcome to Potter Manor; home of lords and ladies of Potter throughout the ages."
The Weasley's (minus Ginny and Bill) Draco and Luna all looked dumb struck.
"Wouldn't you inherit this place when you turned seventeen? Percy asked quizzically.
Harry was looking nervous; but Bill came to the rescue.
"When we went to Diagon Alley Harry went to Gringotts; he has a way to get into his family vault." Bill said.
"I'll tell you when you need to know." Harry said.
"We'll hold you to that." Draco said.
"Will Sir's or Misses want anything else?" Azera asked. The gusts shook their heads, Azera turned towards Harry and Ginny. "Will Master or Mistress… I mean will Harry or Ginny like anything?"
"No thank you Azera, but will you take our family around and show them their rooms and around the manor; when they are ready? I'll get Dobby to help me with something at the potions lab."
"Of course Harry." She turned to the gust. "Call me when you are ready." The she popped out of existence
"Dobby, will you please come here" Harry said.
"Pop" Dobby appeared with a pop. "Harry called for Dobby?"
"Yes I did, I want you to go to the Potter potions lab, and talk to the head elf about the package for Remus Lupin, and see if it's ready yet; if it is bring it to me, if not tell me when it will be done, also the package for me." He took a breath. "Take your time." Dobby disappeared with a Pop.
The rest of the day, Harry had a rough day. At Dinner Dobby came back, with the potions one had a black wrappings, and a white tag that read Remus. The other one was a white wrapping with a black tag hat read Harry.
"Harry potter sir I have brought the packages you asked." Dobby said, handing over the packages to Harry.
"Thank you." He said grabbing the white package. "Take that box to Remus." Dobby walked over to Remus; who took it with a confused. "That is for your big furry problem; take it the day before and the morning of and it won't transform and no pain what so ever." Harry said. "I meant what I said earlier. You all can stay here if you want, since the Burrow is no more, or since your dad died Luna. You all have a home at my Manor."
Molly and Arthur sent news to their son Charlie about what happened before dinner. After Dinner group went to bed after dinner, Harry and Ginny went to the master bed room to sleep. The next morning Harry and Ginny went to train, at six when they finished practicing with magic; they saw the new inhabitances of the manor coming out with exercise outfits on curtsey of the house elves.
"We thought we'd come and join you lot when it comes to exercising, maybe some magical training, at least for Molly, Bill and me?" Arthur said. "Though I will be waking up at five starting in a few days when I go back to work."
"The more the merrier." Harry said.
