Chapter 2: Visits, Shopping and Training
Harry woke up to find Ginny's voice in his head. He was tired and felt anger towards those who hurt him, his family and his friends.
Harry? Harry!
What happened Gin
I got my Hogwarts letter!
That's Amazing me too.
Oh no, Dumbledore is here. Can you use your site share and audio share? She asked
Yep
Alright.
Dumbledore was really confused and he wanted answers as he had come to the burrow, the residence of the Weasley family.
"Albus! What a wonderful surprise." Molly said
Yeah really wonderful. Ginny spoke to Harry
Sarcasm doesn't suit you sweetheart.
Shut up.
"Hello Molly I was wondering if I could speak to young Ginevra?" Albus asked
"Sure, you can." she said
"Alright Ginevra please come outside." he said
"FIne." Ginny said
They both walked outside and began talking to each other out in the orchard.
"Have you ever seen Harry Potter?" he asked
"I wish." she scoffed
"Very well, goodbye."
"Bye." she said
Harry, I bet he is going to see you. Ginny said
I'll be ready. I am going to taunt him by acting like Tom Riddle from the Pensieve Memory.
Alright good luck. She said with a mental sigh
Dumbledore left extremely confused, if they had never met each other then how did they have a soul bond. They never met Harry and didn't even know about magic.
He apparated to Number 4 Privet Drive and walked up the driveway and knocked on the door.
"Hello?" Harry called
"I need to talk to you Harry, please open the door." Dumbledore said
Harry opened the door and let Albus over to the sitting room and began to talk.
"Did you get your Hogwarts letter?" Albus asked
"Yeah, why." Harry asked
"For your school supplies you need to go to Diagon Alley and I want to take you there." Dumbledore said
"Can you just tell me. I usually do everything alone." Harry said
Albus was beginning to feel worried because Harry was becoming very similar to Tom Riddle. They were both very independent, they both hated to be told what to do and they both had so much hatred pouring from him.
"All right I will get the knight bus arranged for you." Albus said
"No need, I'll just go with Perla and Tonks. They are both my cousins." Harry said
Dumbledore was gobsmacked; he made sure he didn't know about his other family. This changed all his plans for him. Now he couldn't mold him into a model servant to the light. A pawn that he could use to do anything, especially because of his fame and sway in the world.
"Oh…um, very well you can go with them, I'm sure they will guide you." Albus said
"Yeah they will."
"Harry, are you sure that you have not met Ginny Weasley?" Dumbledore pressed
Don't actually say about me meeting you Harry. Ginny said
Fine. Can you treat me to a site share shower after this? Harry asked
PRAT! She yelled mentally
I need to get my priorities sorted out and I need something good from this. He said
NO, but maybe if you are good I will treat you to a nice snog. Ginny said
Mmm, yummy, I would fancy a snog. Harry said
"Harry?" Albus asked
"What?" he asked
"I asked if you had met Ginny Weasley or kissed her?" Albus asked
"Look, professor. I know that I have good looks and that I inherited my skills with girls from Sirius. Although I wouldn't mind snogging her and I bet she would snog well no I have not." Harry responded
At this point Harry was getting pissed, first he was questioning him. Then he was talking about Ginny and trying to get information on her. He realized that Ginny was listening to the conversation and she heard everything he had just said.
Aww, Harry you are making me blush. I will for sure snog you at the orchard when he leaves. Ok?
Good for me. Harry said
"Very well, Goodbye." Dumbledore said
"Yeah bye." Harry said, sounding a bit more hostile than intended at first.
Dumbledore stood up then opened and then stepped outside thinking about the conversation. He was seeing many similarities with Harry Potter and young Tom Riddle. They were both very independent, they hated being told around. They both were extremely powerful and full of hatred. The most noticeable was the fact that they were both extremely cocky and confident.
Perla's Home
2:17 P.M
Harry took a quick shower and put some clothes Perla gave him then decided to go to the orchard outside the Burrow. He arrived 1 minute later and was very happy to see Ginny at their spot to spend time alone. He quietly walked up to the spot. When he was behind Ginny he quietly kissed her head and breathed in the pleasant scent of her hair.
"Hello Harry, how are you doing?" Ginny asked without looking up from her lap, obviously sad about something.
Harry walked around Ginny then sat next to her. Ginny got up then kissed Harry on the lips then sat down on his lap and began talking.
"My brothers don't let me play quidditch with them, at least Fred and George try to let my other brothers let me play." Ginny said with a sigh then put her head on his chest. He began absentmindedly stroking her long fiery red hair.
"Hey, we still need to go get to Diagon Alley with Perla." Harry said
"I know I told mum I was going to get my school stuff with her. They both like each other so she let me go with her. I find it funny how Perla has known me for about a year but mum still doesn't know her last name yet." Ginny said
"Well should we go?" Harry asked Ginny as she got up and began pulling Harry in for a short lingering kiss on his lips.
"Yeah we should." she answered
"Alright, hold onto my arm." he said
Ginny grabbed his hand then he apparated them to the border of the property she owned. They both silently walked up the hill to the house. They both opened the black metal gate at the entrance of the garden in front of the house.
They began to walk up the steps to get onto the large porch when the door opened up and out came Perla with her long black hair in a bun. When she saw them her face lit up with happiness, she ran to the two then pulled them into a hug. She then pulled back and kissed them both on the cheek then led them inside the house.
"Just on time since I just finished an important part of the house." Perla said
"What is that important part?" Ginny asked
"Come on, let me show you." the older woman said
She led them both downstairs to the basement and led them into a large chamber that had many mats and weights. There was also a dueling ring, there were also many bookshelves on dueling, spells, creatures and healing. There was also a large arena that was about 50 by 50 feet dome that had barricades,towers and ladders, and crawl spaces. On the other side of the room there were 10 bookshelves that were 5 feet tall.
In those particular bookshelves there were pooks on animagi, Ancient runes, Arithmancy, Potions, Spells, Curses, Hexes and Jinxes, Charms and Transfiguration. The very first spot he grew curious of was the training arena.
He asked,"So this is where I will train?"
"Correct, me and Tonks will train you but Tonks is still in the academy but Kingsley Shacklebolt may help us. As much as I hate the fact that you have to become head Auror in secret until you become of age, there are some good things that come out of this. Things like the fact you will be extensively trained is good you and Ginny both don't have the trace and all you have to do is sign paperwork. You just have a desk job but you don't actually go there." Perla said as she finally took a breath
Harry was still trying to understand the long speech that she just had when suddenly she tapped him on the shoulder and said," Monday come here and we will start training. We won't do spell work yet because to be honest wizards are pretty lazy."
"Yeah I know," Ginny said with a sigh as she looked around in awe at everything.
"You get that information into your thick skull?" Perla asked while tapping on his head with her wand.
"Pretty sure." Harry said with a shrug
"Alright, good. Ginny, did you come up with an excuse?" Perla asked
"Yep I told her I was going to get my school stuff with you." she said
"I may or may not have slipped a note into the Hogwarts student book." Harry said with a mischievous grin.
"HARRY!" Ginny scolded
"Harry, don't do that again to anyone." Perla scolded with a scowl.
"Yes mum." Harry replied sarcastically
"Do you want to see your room Harry?" his cousin asked
"Sure." he said
"Then behave." Perla said
"Fine, I will behave, let's just go get our shopping done. Does that sound good?" Harry asked
"Yes please." Ginny pleaded
"Alright let's go up to the gate." she said
They all headed up the handsome oak wood stairs that were painted black. They opened the basement door after they climbed back up then left the stairs. When they got up they made it to the kitchen then walked out the entrance into the porch then off towards the black steel gate. They were about to grab Perla's arms when she began talking.
"I find it weird how your mum trusts me even though she has no clue of my heritage or last name at all, like I'm a Potter like Harry but we are both ancestors to the Black family as well as the Malfoys through marriage as well as the Greengrasses. It's weird how I was called in to help with the auror department while I was living in spain. I was just called in for work then I met your parents in Diagon Alley. As if it was planned" Perla spilled without stopping, to Ginny.
"I also find it weird." Ginny said
They were all very thoughtful.
"I'm pretty sure she thinks you're firmly planted into the light side and only use light magic." the Ginny said
"You know, I just realized that there is no light or dark magic. There are just different forms of magic. Magic itself is not divided between light and dark. People just assume it's that way. It all matters on intent. You could levitate a boulder using a spell people think is light but it depends on how you use it. That same spell if you put it through the beliefs of others is light magic, but you can use it for dark purposes. All spells are grey, not light, not dark but grey because you can use spells for both good and evil. It matters on intent." Harry said wisely to the shock of the other two because they never heard him speak philosophically; it was very wise indeed. They were shocked they only heard him speak simply.
"Since when did you become so wise?" Ginny asked
"I'm not sure but what I was saying is basically the same thing as parseltongue." Harry said
"Yeah, what you said was basically like that." Perla said
Without another word they grabbed onto each other then they apparated into the apparition platform in Diagon Alley. They all began to take their lists out for the school supplies so they began walking around.
"So what first?" Perla asked
"Well let's go to Gringotts." Ginny said
"Agreed." Harry said
"Alright Gringotts first." his cousin said
They all made their way to Gringotts to get into the trust vault to pay for everything. They made their way to the cart with a goblin to go to vault number 687. They made their way into the vault then opened it to see a mound of gold, silver and bronze. He grabbed large money bags then filled them with whatever he could find.
The three of them made their way out of the cart having clearly enjoyed the ride by the look on their faces. They began walking to the door of Gringotts then left the bank and they went to the first stop at Flourish and Blotts. When they entered they gave Perla the money then walked to the other part of the store leaving Perla to get their books.
They walked to a certain part of the store and began talking while they grabbed a book that Perla said they needed she said it was called: The Tales of the Beedle the Bard. They quickly found it to be found by one Draco Malfoy; he stopped and began talking.
"Oh I know who you are. Potter why are you with this weasel when you could be talking to someone better. I can help you know who are good people." Draco said while holding out his hand to quickly be rejected then pulled his hand.
"I think I know who I should make an acquaintance with Malfoy." Harry sneered.
"Well you should be talking to better Purebloods then this weasel because she is just a stupid and poor idiot." Malfoy sneered equally as mean.
Instead of responding Harry felt a new found strength and confidence. He picked up the light weight and scrawny Draco Malfoy up by the collar and pulled him up then said directly to him,"you may be rich but that doesn't mean you can insult people I care about." Harry told him dangerously quiet louder than a whisper.
"Harry? Harry put him down." the voice of Perla commanded Harry.
"Fine Perla but also if we weren't cousins with Draco I would have punched him." Harry said
"C-cousins?" Malfoy asked.
"Yes Malfoy, I'm your cousin." Perla told him
Instead of talking he just ran out of the store and left. Then Perla turned on him angrily and demanded answers.
"What happened?" she demanded
"I don't know, I felt a surge of heat then without wanting to do so I picked him up. He did insult Ginny though." Harry reasoned.
"Fine. I have your books, let's get your potion ingredients and cauldron then let's pick up your wand." Perla said
"Alright, perla." Harry said
They all went out the door and out to the street. They all began getting stared at and people began to murmur things like,'who is that' and 'why does that woman have control of a Weasley and a Potter'. They all ignored them but they were quickly surrounded by reporters.
The reporters all began asking the three of them questions about everything but they were congratulating Harry for rejoining the wizarding world. They continued asking him questions until Perla had enough.
"I swear any more questions to Harry and I'll hex all of you." she threatened
They all still continued so she had enough.
"I swear if you question my cousin more than I will curse you." she continued
"Thank you Perla." Harry muttered
"No problem Harry." she said
They all finally left then they continued their trip in Diagon Alley. They got their potion supplies and cauldrons then they finally left and went to Olivanders to get their wands. They both entered the store to get their wands.
Harry got one final wand and tested it while the shop keeper said.
"Hmm, Holly, 11 inches, Phoenix tail feather." he said
Harry gave the wand a wave then 10 beautiful blue birds flew out of the wand then disappeared. Ginny began to test wands when Ollivander gave her a wand.
"This is the exact replica of 's wand you see. I chose this wand for you because of your soul bond. I am an Aura reader so I could see your bond. I have this book I believe should go to you. There is one other bonded pair going to Hogwarts this year because you are bonded you will know who they are." the shop keeper said.
"Alright, thank you." GInny replied for both of them.
They all aparrated back to Perla's house then entered into the house with his trunk full of his school things and clothes that actually fit him.
"Harry, I have a surprise for you." Perla said excitement clearly in her voice.
"What is it?" Harry asked
"So because I doubt you really want all of your old things I decided not to bring them. I want you to move in with me and I can show you to your room." she said
"I would love to." Harry said
"Great!" she exclaimed
Perla showed Harry his room along with the rest of the house and by the time she finished she began cooking dinner insisting that he relax.
They both began talking about what this meant then the topic grew less serious and they began talking about quidditch while eating spaghetti. They finished eating with an ice cream dessert. Then he got ready for bed then laid down on his bed that was decorated in Gryffindor colors. He began a conversation with Ginny in telepathy.
Ginny? He asked
Yeah? She asked
I can't wait to go to Hogwarts in 1 week. Harry said
Yeah, at least we go together.
True but at least we continue training lessons with those two once we find a room good enough for training. He said
Yeah true. Ginny said
He heard her yawn in his head and began to get sleepy.
S-sorry I'm g-getting sleepy. She said with a yawn
Alright, well goodnight. Harry said
Goodnight Harry. Ginny said
Love you.
Love you too.
The next morning.
Harry woke up to hear a pan and a metal lattel banged together in his room. He opened his eyes and groaned."Go away perl."
"Nope, get up sleepyhead." Perla said
"No, I don't think I will." Harry groaned
"I'll let you try Firewhisky after training." she said
"Alright!" he exclaimed excitedly
He was already running downstairs and was too far away to catch Perla mutter," like father like son. Potter men and redheads, Potter men and Firewhiskey."
He ran downstairs and into the kitchen where there was already sausages, eggs and bacon. There was also Nymphadora Tonks reading the daily prophet. When Tonks saw Harry run she simply raised her eyebrow and asked," what did Perla promise you?"
Instead of Harry answering, Perla came in from up the stairs.
"Well on my way down here I was muttering 'Potter men love redheads and Firewhiskey." she laughed
Tonks looked up from her newspaper and snickered while Harry laughed. Then Harry heard someone laughing in his head.
Ginny, why are you laughing? He asked
I mean all she said was true. Ginny responded
Fine, I know you're still coming?" Harry asked
Of course love. She said
Alright well hurry. Harry urged
I will bye. She sent
Bye love you. Harry said
Love you too. Ginny said
"Of course you did." Tonks said
While Harry was eating breakfast he was feeling amazing. Dumbledore was not doing so good because the blood wards on Number 4 Privet Drive fell.
When they all finished eating they all left the dining room and into the basement stairs. They were a quarter down the stairs when the door opened and came in Ginny. Harry saw her then ran up to her and hugged her. Still they were starting to get comfortable with their new situation as dating so she blushed a light pink. Harry released Ginny then greeted her and together they walked downstairs hand-in-hand into the training chamber.
I wonder what we will learn. Ginny said
Me too but hopefully it is good. Harry said
"Hello? Are you two feeling ok?" Perla asked while Tonks was just staring at them with worry.
"What? Oh no we feel ok." Harry responded
'Now this is strange. She thought.' He somehow knew what she felt. But they both looked dizzy. What would happen if it is what I think it is? I'll just ask them and depending on their answer I can confirm it.' Perla thought confused and thoughtful. She was thinking about it all to the point that the three others were staring at her weirdly.
"Knut for your thoughts?" Harry asked
"Sorry, Harry, Ginny, were you talking in your head?" she asked
"Yeah we were, we just don't know why." Ginny responded with confusion for both of them then added."Why?"
"Alright that confirms it." Tonks said cryptically
"Alright what the bloody hell is going on?" Harry demanded angrily about the fact that they were holding secrets from them. Then again he also had many secrets since he had no friends in Surrey to tell them but then again they're called secrets.
"Alright, what do you know about Godric Gryffindor?" Perla asked him though he was quite confused as to why she was asking him about the founders of Hogwarts.
"He was a founder of Hogwarts and his favorite colors were scarlet and gold. His favorite animal was a lion like his animagus form." Harry said, still quite confused and starting to get annoyed by this questioning.
"Alright, did you know he had a Soul Bond with his wife Rowena Ravenclaw. Those two are your many times great grandparents. Some people of their bloodlines were given the trait of soul bound. Nobody has ever gotten the trait of being magical as well as blood heirs until July 31, 1980. Not a single person knows that both bloodlines are still alive." Perla said then paused to let it all sink in.
Seeing Harry about to say something she continued speaking to stop his interruption from playing out.
"The even more rare part is the fact that both of you have a soul bond. The lines of the other two founders go with the Gaunts and the Bones the Bones are of Hufflepuff and the Gaunts of Slytherin the same blood as Voldemort. This means you can declare yourself as Headmaster of Hogwarts and go along with it and act like royalty which you kind of are. It's funny really the King and Queen of England are both magical. In fact they are Purebloods. All three of us are royalty. Me, Tonks and Harry are all descendents of Queen Victoria because she only stayed in her bed." Perla said. After she said all of that she had to take a deep breath because she had forgotten to breathe while speaking.
"That is wicked!" Harry exclaimed finally understanding and taking everything in.
"I know it's pretty cool. What I wanted to teach you guys first was how to be a Metamorphmagus. I studied your family trees and found out that you both have Metamorphmagus blood." Tonks said with excitement similar to a child at a candy store
"That would be amazing. Imagine everything we could do if we were Metamorphmagus." Ginny said Tonks and Perla snickered with raised eyebrows then quickly settled down by the motherly look Ginny gave them.
"Yeah, imagine the pranks we could do. We could frame our enemies then plant the memories of planning the prank and doing it, in our enemy." Harry said in excitement that was palpable.
"I think he is great marauder material." Perla said while looking at Tonks who was only a few years younger than Perla.
"Yeah I agree we could corrupt them into annoying snape as much as possible." Dora said thoughtfully at the amazing opportunity.
"I did amazing with you Tonks and I agree. We should do that to the most famous Hogwarts depressed dungeon bat." Perla then burst into giggles with Tonks laughing openly and looking at the young couple who were beginning to laugh.
"I think I would only love to put Itching powder on his clothes since I'm very used to using it for pranks." Harry said while beginning to stop laughing. As if on a timer both Perla and Tonks began to itch their backs very hard.
Harry and Ginny both burst with giggles then were immediately yelled at by the two of them.
"HOW DID YOU GET THIS ON MY SHIRT?!" Tonks asked
"I sneaked away from you two and bought itchy powder then when you fell asleep I came down here and saw a map of England, people's routines, people's choices of outfits and more. Then I saw your name then tracked you down into your flat where I snuck it in your shirt." Harry explained with a smug smirk on his face appearing as their eyes began to widen.
"He's a Marauder." Perla said with a grin
"He is."
"He is so much like his father."
"Too true for my liking."
"He even tracks people down for pranks." Perla said with an even bigger grin as Tonk's one appeared and her hair changed from her bubblegum pink to blond with blue streaks in it.
"Aren't we supposed to be training?" Ginny asked with a grin matching Harry's grin only the best pranksters or Marauders could have.
"Oh dear they have the grin." Tonks said, holding back a laugh and the same grin.
"Mouth moved too soon." Perla said, wiping a mock tear from her eye.
"Too true they already changed." Tonks said
"How have we changed, Bubble?" Harry asked
"He even guessed my Marauder nickname." Tonks said
"Can we start?" Ginny said
"You're all work and no fun at all." Perla said
"Fine, let's start with the hair. Picture yourself with a different hair color then push your magic." Tonks ordered in as stern as a voice she could muster after all the friendly banter.
Harry pictured himself with white blonde hair with red tips and strands that are blue. Ginny pictured herself with black long black hair that went down to her back with green highlights that went to yellow tips at the bottom of her hair. That hair style and color pictured they both pushed out their magic and Ginny's hair kept on growing until it reached her back the green highlights and yellow tips appeared on her slightly curly hair making her look like a copy of Perla. Harry's hair became a more yellowish blonde instead of white blonde like intended but it still looked good with the red and blue in his hair.
Perla looked at Ginny and her mouth fell wide open then she opened her arms and hugged Ginny tight then said."You look like a younger me or our cousin Liliana that lived in Denmark."
"I'm sorry." Ginny said while still being hugged by Perla.
"Don't be it makes me really happy to see that hair and it also looks amazing. I came to terms with her death because she died from Dragon Pox not because of murder." Perla muttered then she finally let go of her.
"Your hair is pretty." Harry complimented while looking at Ginny with admiration. Harry also realized she looked beautiful with red or without red hair.
"I feel like that was probably enough training since you spent 2 hours changing so now try to change it back to normal. So Ginny go to your house and try to change it back." Perla said to Ginny
Ginny nodded and went up and hugged Harry then gave him a quick kiss and turned and went up the stairs and out the door. When she left they all said goodbye so Tonks then headed upstairs for bed when Harry felt Ginny arrive at the orchard then he quickly used vision share to see what was going to happen.
Gin I'm going to use vision share to see everything go down. Harry said
Alright I'm about to enter so do it quick. She responded
Harry closed his eyes then concentrated on using Ginny's vision then he quickly saw vision then began to watch.
Ginny was about to get to the door after her conversation telepathically. She reached for the door knob then opened it to enter for dinner. When she made it inside her mother Molly Weasley looked at Ginny and began yelling.
"GINEVRA MOLLY WEASLEY WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAIR!" Molly yeled loud enough to bring everybody including her dad downstairs to see the confrontation.
"Well mum I pictured myself with this hair then it happened because I have the passed down trait of a Metamorphmagus." Ginny told her mother in a polite but pretty hostile voice.
You are the cutest person in the world when you are angry. Harry complimented
Aww, that's cute but I'm in the middle of a fight with my mother. She responded in an angry tone.
"You became a Metamorphmagus?" Ron said jealousy
"Yep, quite easy if you were passed down the trait at birth." Ginny answered Ron in a tone asking him if he was an idiot.
"Change it back!" Mrs. Weasley ordered
"Fine." Ginny pouted
Ginny thought about what her hair looked like before then changed and then went up the stairs to sleep.
