Over the last few days she's been studying, talking with Marvolo, and her wand and making appropriate purchases. It would be honest to say she's excited. Even more so with Marvolo trying to teach her wandless magic, according to him wandless magic doesn't have the trace and it would help expand her magical core.

She is sad to announce she has yet to succeed at her attempts, though she did have her fist bout of accidental magic if the fireplace bursting out of the chimney was any indication, stupid evil neighbor kids, scared the crap out of all of the above. But that fire did give her an idea for trying her magic. Before she could even start on her idea she was interrupted by an owl tapping on her window.

Setting Marvolo's journal on her trunk before getting up and walking over to the window. She opened it, allowing the owl to swoop in and land on her bed post holding its leg out impatiently. Grabbing a thick piece of ham from her plate, she offered it to the owl with a gentle "Thank you" and untied the parcel, causing the owl to fly out much to her bafflement.

Opening up the package revealed her vault key, a simple bronze ring with elegant carvings and a letter with similar markings to the ring telling her what the key and ring were, as well as mentioning that the ring was would act as a port key to her inherited property, she figured they didn't want her asking them questions.

With out delay she gathered everything she wanted both school and any thing she liked in the room, blankets, plushies, clothes and the like. After informing Marvolo and Indie they were going soon she held her stuff and said the words, "virtus amor honoris" slowly so hoping she could pronounce it correctly.

After her third try, she felt a dull fish hook grab her left nostril, dragging her with gusto through something she compared to the feeling of a worm hole in a planetarium. In all honesty she would have found the sensation addicting if it wasn't for that damn hook that left her with a bloody nose after arriving and falling face down into a dirt path, completely unused to the sudden stop of momentum.

Harmony lay there, basking in the coolness of the dirt, surrounded by her items, uncaring of the outside world. She barely registered the high pitched joyous squeak in favor of feeling her blood drain away from her body, a horrid feeling that demanded her attention. The books never mentioned a bloodied nose as a side effect for port keys, so she hadn't thought to bring tissues and was wallowing in self pity and a simple thought of 'Damn, that's a lot of blood.'

"Little misses!"

Harmony groaned at that, 'Why is someone here?' she wondered rolling over to her side, then grudgingly sat up. At first she was disgruntled and annoyed, till she saw the little thing and her eyes became similar to the little creature's. "Eh?" was all that came out in her confusion.

"Mes name es Leeky, little miss" The little ragged one said with all the enthusiasm in the world. "Leeky be expe-" it cut itself off when it saw Harmony's bloody red nose and wailed painfully. Snapping its little pointed fingers caused the blood to stop and Harmony's nose looked as it had before her trip. In surprise Harmony touched her nose, shocked that she didn't feel any pain.

"Leeky bes sorry, little misses!" pulled her out of her thoughts as she watched in abstract horror as the little creature started pounding her head, "Bad Leeky's! Bad!" Harmony was pulled from her shock as the little one reached out to grab a large rock.

"Leeky! Stop!" Cried Harmony in a panic, grabbing the creatures hand. It looked teary eyed up at her, "Did you make me bleed?" she asked causing it to start wailing in agony again. "Leeky!" she practically shouted, frightening the creature, but got its undivided attention, "Answer me. Did you make me bleed?" she asked firm, but gently.

"No, miss bu-"

"No. No, Leeky. you did not make me bleed. It was not your fault." Harmony crouched down to its height, "You didn't make me bleed. You didn't do anything wrong, little one. " She said kindly with a smile causing its eyes to widen further. Harmony took the rock out of the little ones hand and gently placed it on the ground. "Thank you, Leeky, for healing me. It doesn't hurt anymore."

A new set of wails form, this time more relieved than stressed, causing Harmony to smile slightly exasperated, but fondly at the little one. in one small but swift movement Harmony held it in her arms allowing the creature to cry on her shoulder as she rocked and patted, "Shush, little one. It's alright. I'm alright. You're alright." Her last statement seemed to only add to the crying, but for Harmony it was relaxing, having someone to care for.

Someone who could be there for her in return. Sure, she had Marvolo but he couldn't feel her hugs, if he felt her hugs every night he never said. And beside Marvolo was Marvolo, he wasn't a pet, a friend she hoped, but at the very least he is an acquaintance. She also has Indiana, but to each their own. Both Marvolo and Indie are special to her and she hopes the one she is holding will allow itself to become special too. No one or thing deserves to feel unwanted, its a terrible feeling that she experienced to recently with the 'original' Harmony's parents.

When the sounds of crying finally stopped, she rubbed it one last time before pulling away and smiled, "Better little one?" It just stared wide eyed, mouth agape. "Leeky?" it nodded and she smiled.

"Now, Leeky I need to ask, just to be sure." she added hastily, "What are you?"

"Why misses, I's be house elf Leeky of the house of Tauris's ." Harmony nodded.

"My apologies Leeky," Harmony started not noticing the horror forming on the elf's face, "I don't know much about house elves, are you male or female." she asked trying to be polite.

The elf shook its head, much to her confusion, "I bes female, little misses." cautiously Leeky asked, "Yous don't knows about house elves?"

Harmony just shook her head, "Sorry, I don't." she really didn't all she had to go on was how horrible the Malfoy's had treated Dobby and how Hermonie tried to give Hogwarts elves clothes to free them. Key word tried. She wanted a real house elves views, not one that hates its master like Dobby or Kreature. She wants the information from Leeky, not bits and pieces like Dumpledore seems to like doing.

And so Harmony listened to the eager house elf. She was told how Leeky absolutely did not want any clothes from Harmony since she would be free and it would be a large disgrace, how it was an honor for her to do all of the house work and mundane tasks. Then there was the most important of all, the bond between elf and wizard. Leeky said she was a bound elf to the house of Tauris, but asked Harmony with large adorable pleading eyes to be her personal house elf and would require an oath.

She refused, slightly exasperated by Leeky's enthusiasm, but quickly explained herself before the elf's water works could start again, "At least give me a week trial before deciding that you want to be my elf."

She failed. Ending up having to pat Leeky's back while the elf cried out how great her little misses is. Harmony couldn't help but think how well Leeky's name fit her.

Later that night after settling into a sparkling clean house, she never knew homes could sparkle, she told Marvolo about the interaction with Leeky to which he simply replied, That's just how it is. House elves live to serve. Even Hogwarts have them.

Oh, I've heard of them. They're the kitchen elves behind the pear portrait right?

She didn't know she kept leaving more crumbs for Marvolo to pick up, but he was actually thrilled not just for the chance at information and constant feed of magic, but the thrill of a mystery. Especially since Harmony seemed like she wouldn't come clean anytime soon, even though they've been talking everyday since she picked him up. So of course he would save his questions, least she decide to hide those crumbs too.

After all, this was the most fun he's had in decades.
