Tonks smiled at Harry moved several steps forward before she tripped over the umbrella stand in the entrance hall causing a loud amount of noise. This cause several people to gasp and run into the Hallway as Harry moved forward only to stiffen as another voice howled out.
"Mudbloods, Halfbloods how dark you sully the house of Black!" The female voice snarled out in a high pitched painful voice causing Harry to spin to face it.
"Cavo'ssa Shiro Din!" Harry yelped startled and threw one hand forward towards where the female voice yelled from. His hand became engulfed in a brilliant yellow-orange light that formed a ball and flew at the portrait that had yelled out The portrait screamed seeing the ball of energy fly at it as everyone else that had been rushing into the room froze. They looked from the portrait to Harry as a pop was heard and a wail.
"You will not harm mistress stupid mudbloods!" A squeaky but gravely voice snarls. Harry looks down at the house elf that had appeared and slowly starts to stalk towards the small creature as he snarls the symbol on his right hand glowing so brightly it is visible from under the conjured gloves.
"She got nothing that she didn't deserve your stupid little bondservant. You see not what she said or understand exactly what she is saying." He snarled as the rest of the group just stared. The small house elf stared at Harry its bulbous eyes staring in pure shock and it actually seemed to gulp. Harry looked at the portrait and snarled seeing it only being singed and not destroyed. Harry kept glaring at the portrait some of his hair becoming a brilliant fire red as the house elf started to shake violently in front of Harry.
"Krecher head back to what you are doing and shut up." Sirius growled at the house elf. The creature popped away as Harry still staring at the portrait slowly turned to look at the others.
"Umm, what was that?" He asked sounding deeply confused and a bit fearful after he had sent that energy ball at the portrait. He glanced again to see the old woman hiding near the bottom of the frame her eyes wide with the fear of what had just happened. Sirius moved forward and hugged Harry tightly and Harry slowly wrapped his arms around Sirius back and shut his eyes a bit.
"Harry I'm so glad to see you." Sirius said and pulled Harry away from the portrait and the room they had been in. Harry looked up at Sirius and slowly relaxed not seeing any fear in Sirius' eyes and only worry for him. Harry squeezed into Sirius a bit as he brought Harry into the kitchen and moved him into a seat.
"Harry let me go you are surprisingly strong and it feels like you are going to crush my ribs." Sirius jokingly said with a soft smile. Harry slowly let go of Sirius and rubbed at his hair a moment then shook his head and smiled slowly.
"Yeah, sometimes it just seems my strength is going crazy." Harry said and sighed as he looked at Sirius again then slowly pulled off the conjured gloves then held his hand out to Sirius showing him the mark on his hand. Sirius looked at it as it shinned now fully clear and easy to see.
"I've had it my whole life but since.. End of the last school year it's become darker and started to glow." Harry explained. Sirius rubbed the back of Harry's hand and frowned a moment staring at it.
"I don't remember seeing this on your when you were a baby." Sirius admitted with a slight frown. Harry blinked and frowned then shifted nervously.
"The goblins seemed to know what it was and were not happy with it being on me. They seemed almost angry to see it." Harry admitted. Sirius' face became startled at Harry's comment and frowned a bit. Molly blinked a bit and frowned at Harry opening her mouth to tell him off for being alone in Diagon Alley and leaving his relatives place, but before she can Kingsley covers her mouth and shakes his head pulling her away.
"Molly now isn't the time." He stated as she glared at him preparing to start yelling at him instead of Harry now for interfering with her rant. Kingsley kept staring at Molly showing no willingness to back down for now.
"Fine." She growls out and stomps away throwing her own version of a temper tantrum. Kingsley shook his head watching her and sighed a moment before turning back to Harry and Sirius then nodded to them as Ron and Hermione ran into the kitchen.
"Harry!" They cried out as Hermione almost pounced him. Harry blinked in surprise and laughed a moment shaking his head. He looked at Hermione as she seemed to be ready to grill him already probably Harry shook his head and groaned a moment realizing she would want to know more about the symbol he had asked her to look for references of. Ron smirked at Harry seeing his face and annoyance obviously having realized he had triggered Hermione's obsessive learning.
"Hey 'Mione, Ron sorry for worrying you." Harry said and smiled softly as Hermione looked up at Harry and gasped softly. She had noticed his eyes which were now pure yellow and the streaks of fire red in his hair. She grabbed at his hair causing Harry to rear back in surprise as Hermione stares at it noticing it had lengthened a bit since the last time she had talked to him as well.
"Harry this is you right?" Hermione asked softly. Harry frowned a moment and looked at Hermione somewhat confused.
"What do you mean Hermione? I'm not changing that much am I?" Harry asked having recognized that he was changing a bit mainly emotionally at this moment. Hermione frowned and moved to sit across from Harry looking at him calmly.
"Harry your eyes are no longer green and your hair is getting fire red in it." Hermione stated. Harry blinked a few times in shock and rubbed at the back of his right hand again. He sighed and shut his eyes a moment before glancing at Sirius who slowly nodded to what Hermione had said showing she was telling the truth.
"I don't know what's going on. I'm spouting off in a language I don't know and so much anger and hate is bubbling up in me that I fear I'm going to hurt someone. Then motions towards the room where the portrait was. He shuddered remembering the energy ball that he had sent flying at the portrait.
"This is why you asked about that symbol isn't it?" Hermione asked as Harry slowly held out his right hand to her showing it. He nodded then stood and raced to find Tonks shocking all the people who were next to him. Hermione almost fell backward first in surprise at noticing the mark on Harry's hand then at Harry's sudden running off.
"Tonks where is my trunk?" They heard Harry's voice ask from the other room. Harry smirked as Tonks jumped then pulled out the shrunken trunk from her pocket. She placed it on the ground then reverted it to normal size. Immediately Harry dived into it and pulled out the ancient book. He opened it up and blinked a couple of times. He frowned and ran a finger under a word or two his eyes widening ever so slightly.
"Excuse me…" Harry said before running into the kitchen again his face paling with a bit of confusion. He looked at Hermione and placed the book down in front of her then looked at Ron and shifted a moment.
"What's wrong mate?" Ron asked seeing Harry's discomfort and worry even if he didn't understand where it was coming from.
"I'm going to be causing Hermione to go into deep research mode and this time I may be joining her." Harry explained as Hermione looked at the book then glanced at Harry.
"Harry this looks like some ancient language it looks older than Tamil." Hermione said slowly flicking through the pages as Harry sat down and nodded a bit. Then reached out and turned the pages to the front page and point out three of the words.
"Din, Nayru, Farore." Harry stated moving a finger to each word as he stated the names then looked at each of the people around him. He then moved to three others. "Power, Wisdom, Courage."
"Harry?" Hermione asked confused as he looked around as the others look at the book then at Harry as he looks at everyone around him.
"When I got the book yesterday the writing felt familiar so I purchased it. I couldn't read it though, now I am understanding the odd word. I have been spouting out in a non-english language without realizing it. What is going on?" Harry asked as he pulled off his glasses a headache starting to form as he tried to control his emotions again. He was relieved that at least this time it was not anger or hate trying to go out of control
"I have no idea Harry this is beyond strange. I've never even heard of anything like this, but with what you have told me I might if we are lucky to be able to translate more of this book." Hermione stated and glanced at Harry again.
"You think this all connects to the symbol on your hand don't you?" She asked after trying to help calm Harry. Harry nodded slowly then glanced at a frowning Ron before looking back at Hermione.
"Ron, what is wrong? You seem troubled." Harry asked softly nervously afraid that Ron would turn on him again as he had back during the Triwizard tournament. Really betrayals by those you trust are always the worst.
"The words you spoke. I think I've heard them in ancient legends. I'm not sure though. Probably stories only told in long-running magical lines." Ron said frowning still trying to remember. Harry frowned at that and glanced at Sirius who shrugged a bit.
"Sorry, Harry I can't tell you. I did everything I could to avoid learning the ancient stories my family wanted me to learn." Sirius admitted with a shrug. Harry sighed and frowned a bit.
"They wouldn't be written down somewhere would they?" Harry asked softly as Hermione perked up in hope at even more to be read. Harry shook his head slightly at Hermione's reaction to the situation.
"Maybe I have no idea but it's time for Harry to get set up in a room and then for you all to talk elsewhere. The adults are gonna be meeting up to talk over things, and I know Harry you should be involved but you are still a child and none of the others will agree with it." Sirius told Harry honestly. Harry sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Of course, that is always the way it goes. I understand that you can't control others and it is annoying considering I know that Voldemort will center on me like always." Harry grumbled as Sirius once more hugged Harry. Harry walked out of the kitchen as the other two joined him and dragged him up a set of stairs. Harry chuckled softly and smiled fondly at his two friends.
"Harry that energy ball what kind of spell was it?" Hermione asked wondering about how he had attacked the portrait. Harry blinked as Ron almost pounced forward a grin on his face.
"Yeah, how did you do that? That was amazing!" Ron cried out grinning widely. Harry blinked a bit before sighing and shaking his head a bit.
"I don't know what it was. It was not a spell though. It felt like it was all my anger and raged crushed into a sphere and then sent flying at what had triggered me doing this." Harry stated and groaned. Really what was happening with him that he seemed to be growing stronger, gaining a new language, and showing strange new abilities.
"Do you have any hints about this beyond the changes?" Hermione asked. Harry frowned and thought on what the goblins had said and the unspeakable.
"A few, but nothing solid." Harry murmured then explained to his friends the reactions and words of the goblins before adding what happened at the DMLE and the unspeakable. He flopped back onto the bed they were sitting on and stared at the ceiling. Really how much else was going to hit before the day was done.
"An old soul, that sounds like a religious belief some muggles have. Reincarnation I think it is called. I never much paid attention to all the different religions so I might be wrong." Hermione said and stood with a frown. She moved over to her bag that was sitting in one corner of the room before starting to dig into it as though looking for something. Harr titled his head and sighed again leaning back.
"Really a muggle religion thing? That is what you think of 'Mione?" Harry questioned causing Ron to snort inelegantly at Harry's words. Hermione looked up and glared at the two boys. She kept digging in her bag then frowned.
"Maybe I left it in my trunk, and really Ron I wanted to compare the beliefs of wizards and witches compared to the different beliefs among muggles." Hermione stated as she moved to sit on the edge of the bed. Ron frowned and looked at Hermione somewhat confused.
"You mean the single deity that claims witches and wizards should be killed isn't the only one out there?" Ron asked causing Harry to stare at Ron in pure shock then look at Hermione shaking his head.
"No Ron it isn't. It is the most common in England and most English speaking countries as well as all of Europe but it isn't the only one. Even that one has a lot of offshoots from it." Hermione explained. Ron just stared as there was a soft knock on the room's door causing all three to jump before two redheads peeked in.
"Surprised none of you are trying to hear what is going on in the meeting." They said. Harry meanwhile kept looking between Ron and his brothers before shaking his head. It seemed so wrong seeing so many male redheads. There should be more female redheads than male. Harry frowned as those thoughts echoed in his head then groaned.
"Hermione maybe the idea of reincarnation is correct. I just had this weird thought that there are too many male redheads." Harry groaned out causing Hermione to glare at the twins then look at Harry.
"Harry there is no chance of proving that right or wrong." Hermione pointed out as Harry threw his arm over his eyes and groaned, before moving said arm again and looking at the twins.
"No point in trying to listen to them. They'll be watching for it cause they don't want me knowing anything about what is going on for one reason or another." Harry stated before looking back and Hermione and Ron. The twins stared at Harry seeing his eyes and how they had changed for the first time.
"Oh awesome how did you change your eyes to that amazing yellow?" One of the twins cried out nearly jumping onto Harry causing him to yelp as the other moved closer. Harry rapidly attempting to squirm away from the twin on top of him.
"Forge let Harry up. We have things to ask since they seem uninterested in the meeting today." The other twin stated and grinned at the three causing Harry to groan knowing they wanted to know about the energy ball the same way everyone in the house probably did.
"Bassei Leavra." Harry yelped squirming more to get away from the twin on top of him as Hermione moved forward to pull the twin off of him quickly. She worried he might trigger an attack from Harry as the other twin blinks and looks at Harry.
"Gred but I want to know." The first twin stated looking away from Harry who started to glare at him, his lips thinning in annoyance.
"Fred get off of me now." Harry growled causing both twins to stiffen and stare at Harry pure shock showing on their faces.
"Come on Harry it's George, not Fred." He said as the other twin moved closer and Harry's eyes narrowed even more.
"No that's George you are Fred and if you don't get off of me I will let everyone know how to tell the two of you apart." Harry growled, and both twins immediately leaped away from Harry again causing both Ron and Hermione to stare at Harry then the twins.
"Harry, you can tell them apart?" Ron asked slowly. Harry actually smirked a bit before shutting his now yellow eyes.
"Always have been able to. Just saw no reason to bring it up." Harry stated and the twins actually started to pout at Harry's declaration. Harry looked at the two of them shaking his head.
"You two need to stop pouncing Harry it might not be healthy for you now." Hermione stated causing the twins to look at her then Harry who groaned.
"Hermione I'm trying to control this, please don't bring up all that seems to be going wrong. It's making me feel even crazier than I ever expected." Harry stated causing Hermione to wince. Harry looked at her then Ron.
"Look at me, you guys. I am losing many of the traits I grew up with. I am able to do things I never could before that aging and the learning we have had doesn't give a reason for me to be capable of." Harry pointed out blinking his yellow eyes and groaning before placing his hands over his eyes before pulling them away and touching his face again.
"Harry calm down it will be okay. When we get a chance we will talk to the headmaster about this and he'll figure it out." Hermione stated causing Harry to snort and shake his head again.
"Hermione I don't think the Headmaster will be able to help on this. I think I need to find someone with far more ancient knowledge than him." Harry admitted softly. He went and moved towards the window staring outside silently going into an almost brooding stance as Ron frowns a moment before glancing at the others in the room.
"Harry are you sure he can't help?" Hermione asked softly and watched as Harry shrugged a bit. He kept staring outside thinking on everything that had happened so far.
"Well maybe he could but I don't want to count on it, plus I don't want to rely on the Headmaster. He might be trustworthy but he never looks at things beyond what he himself believes." Harry pointed out and sighed shaking his head slowly. Hermione frowned and started to take a deep breath to counter what Harry said before Ron covered her mouth shaking his head.
"No Hermione Harry's right. I may trust the headmaster but he doesn't trust others with his knowledge. He has shown that so he might not be the best to go to with all this." Ron stated causing Hermione to stare at him in shock at his insight
"Okay enough depressing conversations. I want to check if their meeting is finished. I want to eat before we need to sleep for the night. Also, I want to actually work on my summer homework before summer finishes for a change." Harry stated causing everyone to jump at the full flip on the conversation. They trudged down the stairs and seeing the kitchen door open all walked into the kitchen grinning and quickly sliding into a much more normal joking and calm mindset for the rest of the night.
