Harry only smiled and lay back down. "Wake me up for dinner." He quickly drifted off to sleep. Blaise and Draco pulled out some of their books and worked on their studies. Each wondering what the hell they were getting involved in because it seemed that there were many things that focused around Harry.
It seems that there has been a lot focused around Harry and his family for years. I am wondering what this all means. It goes well beyond the prophecy. Which I am wondering is real. The question is figuring out if it is a single battle or a three-fold battle which would be Harry against Voldemort, the light and ministry. Draco thought as he looked up at Blaise. He tossed a sheet of parchment at Blaise as he glanced at the sleeping boy.
We need understand many things about why this bond formed, and it seems that only the castle can answer that one. It seems that even before the prophecy and Death Eaters there seems to be many questions about those from Harry's lines. I am wondering if the bonding is more of a mistake and more dangerous than becoming a Death Eater; however, even wondering this what does it mean that I do not care and do not want it broken if it could. I have loved him since I was child, now he is mine. I am truly afraid that I have him only to lose him with three strong force apparently against him.
Blaise rose from his chair after reading the note. He wrapped the blonde in his arms and whispered against his ear. "We will not lose him. He inspires many to love and follow him just as easily as he can inspire jealousy and hatred."
"I just hope that is true, because it seems that the world is against him." Draco whispered. He gave Blaise a quick kiss. "It is time that we woke him up for dinner." He spoke louder.
Blaise rose from in front of Draco. He turned and shouted at Harry. "Harry, it is time to get up for dinner!"
"No, sleep." Harry grumbled. He tried to roll over but ended up rolling onto the floor. "Damn, I guess I am getting up." He could see that his bondmates were smiling. "Do. Not. Laugh." They quickly tried to hide their smiles but failed. Harry only shook his head.
He motioned for the young men to follow him. He walked briskly to the Great Hall. He was stopped by Ron before entering. "Where were you today? Is everything alright, mate?"
"Yes, everything is fine. I just had some family business to take care that suddenly came up this morning." Harry smiled. He patted Ron's shoulder and moved to the Slytherin table without talking to anyone else. He sat down next to his cousin.
The meal seemed to go quickly. Harry ate in silence only saying a few words to his cousin. He had a lot of questions, because things were not adding up and seemed that Dumbledore was behind most of it. He understands now that he can no longer trust the headmaster. He knew that he did not think that he would be able to forgive his family; however, he wondered he could be cordial relations. He knew where he would need to go to get some answer.
He rose from the table. He said good night to cousin. He did not wait to see if his mates were following him. He was stopped at the door with Ron. "I am sorry, mate. Tonight is not a good night to hang out; however, we could go flying tomorrow."
"Sure, no problem."
Harry quickly made his way to the third-floor corridor. He quickly went down the hidden corridor. He walked up to the door and cut his hand. He waited for the door to open. He walked in and waited till he heard the door closed. "I told you that I would return."
Have you been back to the chamber?
No, not yet.
"Has anyone told you that it was rude to speak in a language around that cannot speak it?"
Harry bowed his head. "My apologies, Lady Ravenclaw."
"Th-those are the founders, and they are talking."
Harry turned to slightly to his bondmates. "May I have the honor to introduce to my two bondmates: Darco Malfoy and Blaise Zambini." Harry turned back to the portraits. "Draco and Blaise, I would like the honor to introducing you to the Founders: Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin." He spoke as he raised his hands to the appropriate portrait.
Harry smirked. "I did not chose my bondmates. Lady Hogwarts and the Goblet of Fire chose them for me."
Rowena leaned forward in her painting. "Interesting you stated that Lady Hogwarts and the Goblet of Fire choose them. Could you explain how and when this happened?"
Blaise stepped forward. "I would be delighted to explain what happened from my prospective." Harry sat in a chair while he listened to Blaise explain what he saw and felt that day. He launched into the retelling of Draco's tale including the information about the Dark Mark.
Harry rose not paying attention anymore. His eyes were glossed over as he moved to the center of the room. He took out his wand and cut his hand. He tilted his hand sideways allowing the blood to drip on the floor and began chanting over and over again. "miþ min heaþuswat, ic aliesan se huntian gast ia se rum æfter twegen tid in dæg." (With my blood, I release the trapped spirits in the room for two hours per day.) At the end of the ninth time, the room was encased in a bright light.
When the light was faded, four people stood in the center of the room almost circling Harry. "What did you do, boy?"
Harry glared at Godric. "Do Not Call Me That! I am not sure what I did. The words were suddenly there." Harry looked around the room. He realized that there was not enough places to sit. He closed his eyes imagining a warm fire a comfortable couch, love seat and three chairs. Just like the Room of Requirement the room changed to match his image.
Harry walked over to the love seat and sat. "Dobby."
"How can Dobby be helpin' the great Harry Potter?"
"Could you bring some tea, some sandwiches and biscuits for us? If it is not too much trouble."
Dobby bounced a little. "It not be any trouble. Dobby be right back." He quickly popped out, and a couple minutes later popped back into room with a tray that he placed on the table in front of the couch. "Is there be anything else that Dobby can do for the great Harry Potter?"
Harry sighed. "You can call me just Harry. Do not tell anyone about this room, or who you saw? I appreciate all you have done and for your silence. Now I want you to make sure you eat and get some sleep."
Dobby bounced excitedly. "Dobby honored that a great wizard asked about Dobby."
"You are my friend. Why would I not ask about you?" Harry stated confusedly.
"Hmph." Godric uttered once the elf left. "He is only doing what is required. I see no need to thank an elf or worried if something would bother them."
"It shows a great heart. He understands that house-elves are individuals with feelings that deserve the same respect as any other human or creature." Helga stated.
Rowena picked up the pot of tea and poured a cup. "You are quite right, Helga; however, let us get back to the topics at hand. First, why do not we let Mr. Potter explain how we are out of the paintings and what it means for us. Then we need to get more information about the bond."
The Founders all turned and looked at Harry. "So, Mr. Potter, you were saying that you heard the words in your head. Why did you cut yourself and allow the blood to drip, and where did you learn Ole English?"
Harry wanted to shrink and hide somewhere. He hates attention. He felt a hand begin to rub his arm up and down. He could feel the fire spread. He knew that Draco was trying to offer comfort. He closed his eyes for a moment and relished in heat. He opened them, and they were more vibrant and pulsing with power. However, he was not quite in the presence.
Helena and I sealed the portraits in the room with a spell. We knew that in the future there were many that would abuse the power and knowledge of our relatives. However, we also knew that there would come a time when they would be needed, and we knew that the one that has blood of three out of the four would need them. We created a spell that required blood and would be able to detect the founder blood line. It would allow the spirits out of the portraits for two hours per every 24 hours but are limited to the tower. It should last till the one says the reverse spells and locks them back in the portraits. Now I must leave and have words with Harry about his attitude.
Salazar was repeating the words back in English. "Wait, if you are not Harry; then who are you."
I am Luis Pierre Slytherin. I am your son by Marie Dumont in France. By the time, I reached the age of Hogwarts my uncle and nephew had already tarnished your name and corrupted your Chambers. I had managed to seal your private rooms in the Chamber. I met Rowena. She be in a bad way. However, she wanted to protect the Founders, and we took your portraits out of the common rooms and before someone could awaken them. We placed them in the Founders' Tower which Hogwarts had already hidden the entrance. We lay the ground work for the spell for the future. We placed wards around the tower and entrance. We activated the portraits, and then sealed the room. Now I really must go, Harry is being demanding and forceful. I will speak with him later about his attitude.
Harry leaned against the back of the chair as his eyes rolled to the back of his head before they closed. Everyone was murmuring. "Bloody hell, why does everything always have to happen to me? I hate being possessed."
"You have much power. It is very attracting."
"Well, he should have asked." Harry hmphed.
"I think we should call it a night. Mr. Potter is looking drained. We have enough information about how the bond initiated." Helga spoke.
"I agree. It would be good to get some images of the Goblet to see what runes are on it." Rowena stated.
"We will have some images when we return."
Draco and Blaise rose helping a tired and annoyed Harry. Harry got close to the door before stopping and turning around. "I hope you enjoy your limited freedom. I am sorry it is short and restrictive. However, if you need anything; then you can call for Dobby." He disappeared through the door.
