Chapter 3 - Spoils
Harry arrived at his uncle's house carrying his backpack. He hoped that he could pass unnoticed by his 'family' or they would want to know where he had got the backpack.
Harry easily avoided the squeaky steps that would make a noise and got to his room without further problems. He entered his room and cast the charm to do magic undetected. Then he cast a silencing charm within the room and a locking charm on the door so his relatives didn't notice that he was writing and they couldn't enter.
Harry first reached for his friends' letters. He opened the first and recognised Ron's handwriting on the spot.
Harry
Hi mate! You won't believe what I'm going to tell you. My father got a promotion at the Ministry! He took old Crouch's job! I didn't believe that they didn't tell us sooner. He received the promotion two days after the third task so he's had at least two weeks to tell us. But he didn't bother to send one owl to tell us! But now he is receiving better pay so my brothers and I won't have to buy anything from second hand.
This is not all. The twins got a huge investment for the Weasley Wizard Wheezes. They say that their partner demanded a quarter of the profit of the WWW would go to the Weasley family for two reasons. Firstly, the Burrow was used as laboratory to develop new Wheezes and factory to produce the Wheezes that they already knew would work. Second, the Weasley clan provided the meals and the home of 2/3 of the WWW members.
Percy was very upset that he didn't get the promotion that he wanted but my father used his connections and put Percy at his old position at the Ministry. Bill is coming back to England - it seems that he got a promotion or that they need him back in England for some reason at Gringotts. Charlie is also back as he is on holiday now and he did get a new job but it isn't telling us what it is. Do you think that he will start to play Quidditch professionally?
Well, that is everything that's been happening around here. We haven't had any news about YKW. And you mate. How are those muggles treating you? If they mistreat you in any way just send us an owl and you will have five red headed wizards to avenge you and two more to the rescue!
And Harry, before I finished this letter, I have to ask something. Do you know when Hermione is going to Bulgaria to visit her Vicky? If you know something, please tell me. You have to help me stop her from going there, as it is too big a risk. I know that her Vicky is a nice (here Harry could see that something other thing was written and erased several times) guy but this don't matter. Now YKW is around, it is too dangerous for a muggle- born to be travelling.
Ron.
Harry had to try hard to not laugh at his friends letter. Ron had fallen hard for their best friend, Hermione, but he was too dense to realise it. The twins were very clever. Harry would love to help the Weasley family with money but they would never accept it so Harry became their partner and in return only asked to the twins buy some nice robes for Ron. In this way they could help the whole Weasley family. Harry was going to write to them to make sure that they knew that he liked this plan of theirs.
Harry also was very happy that Mr. Weasley had got a promotion. Harry couldn't think of one person that deserved a higher position more than Mr. Weasley did. Harry couldn't stop thinking that the Weasleys were finally receiving what they deserved.
After a few moments of thinking, Harry opened the other letter believing that it was from Hermione. But he was mistaken and soon realised this because he didn't recognise the handwriting. So he scanned the bottom of the letter and saw that this letter as from Ginny Weasley, Ron younger sister, who Harry saved the life of in the Chamber of Secrets. When Harry was remembering this two thoughts came into his mind: he remembered that Professor Dumbledore had said when one wizard saved other wizard's life a bond is formed between them. So did that meant that there was a bond between Harry and Ginny? What kind of bond would that be, Harry thought.
Secondly, what was to be done to the Chamber of Secrets considering that only Harry could open it? Harry thought that he could do a few modifications and use it as his hiding place. He could use Dobby's help to reconstruct the Chamber as some sort of laboratory and private bedroom. Then he would have a peaceful place to hide or to do forbidden things at Hogwarts.
Harry stopped thinking and started to read the letter.
Dear Harry,
I know that you never gave too much attention to me at Hogwarts and I know that this is probably my fault because I always stutter, stumble or run away when we are in the same room. But this doesn't make things easier for me. I know that you like Cho but I want to tell you that I love you.
I know what you are thinking right now, that I'm too young to be in love. Well I'm quick at everything really; did you know that I was the only Weasley that was born premature? I'm only 8 months and 12 days younger than Ron is.
It's time that I should stop babbling. Harry, I love you, and I can understand if you don't want anything to do with me. But I had to say it. Harry, even if you do want something with me, I won't rush into anything. You don't have to feel any obligation because I've already told you how I feel about you. If you want to be with me I will wait until you are ready to tell me that you love me, but you don't have to tell me at all if you never get to feel for me this way.
With love, Virginia Weasley.
So Ginny loved him. Harry was stunned. He started to think about Ginny and remembered every time that he saw her and when she had talked with him. There wasn't much to remember but he could recall them all as very personal moments for him. He remembered that she wished him good luck when he crossed the barrier platform 9 ¾. The way she had rushed out of the kitchen when she realised that he was there and several other moments like these. They brought a smile to his face.
Then he remembered that he liked Cho. How could he think of liking another girl? It felt like he was cheating Cho. Then he tried to remember Cho to see how he felt about her, but all that he could see was Cedric rescuing her from the merfolk, Cedric being killed by Voldemort, and then Cho crying at the last banquet of the year. That was when he realised he didn't liked Cho anymore. He liked Ginny. When did this happen he couldn't figure out, but he could write a letter to her.
But before he started to write a letter to Ginny he remembered about the fan mail. He just got all of the letters out of the backpack and used the Quick Notes Quill like Arabella had said for him to do it. He watched how the quill worked for a while, and then got back to writing a letter to Ginny.
Dear Ginny
This is hard and I don't know how to say it. Please don't stop reading this letter now or you will regret that. Firstly I will say that I don't like Cho any more. With the whole thing that happened with Cedric there is no way that Cho and I could become a happy couple.
Secondly, I don't think that you are too young to be in love. There is no such a thing as being too young to love. After all, you've love your parents from the moment you are born (of course that they can change that with their actions).
Well, now it is my time to stop babbling. Yes Ginny, I agree with you. If I said that I loved you in this letter or in a few weeks it wouldn't be sincere. But I do care about you. I do like you. And I would love to get to know you and I don't mean as a Friend.
What I'm trying to say is that I want you to be my girlfriend. Would you like to be my girlfriend? Just answer me and soon we will talk face to face.
Yours, Harry.
After finishing this letter he performed the drying charm on the ink and started to write a letter to his best friend.
Ron
Hey mate! Great news about your father promotion! He deserved it. It's cool that you all will get new stuff. It's also awesome that you have all your five brothers and your sister back home. Do you think that Charlie would help me to practice Quidditch? Well about the muggles - you don't have to worry because I discovered something new.
Do you remember about that crazy lady that took care of me when Dursleys went out? Well, she is a witch. And not any witch. She is my godmother. She is here to keep an eye on me in case any Death Eater breaks the wards that Dumbledore has put around Privet Drive.
And there is more. She is teaching me a few tricks of Divination. Not that bullshit that Trelawney teaches. She's taught me how to make people hear my thoughts and how I can read other peoples' thoughts. If you want I could teach you once that I'm at the Burrow or at Hogwarts. She is also helping me with my homework, but she is just like Hermione so she is driving me crazy! Ah, and here is a charm that she taught me so I could do magic outside Hogwarts without being caught. Please teach this charm to Ginny as well. If you don't you will regret the day you were born.
I'm also doing physical exercises to improve my speed and strength. I even have this doll to practice fighting. I'm not very good at it but with a month to practice I think I will become much better.
I haven't written to Hermione yet but I will write to her as soon as I finished this letter.
Harry.
After a little rest Harry started to write the letter to Hermione.
Dear Hermione,
Hi! How are the things with you? Here, everything is very good. Do you remember about that crazy lady that I told that took care of me when the Dursleys went out? Well she is a witch and my godmother.
She is helping me with my homework and teaching some useful Divination skills. If she were our teacher of Divination you would have killed yourself for dropping the class. I've learned how to read other people minds, how to stop people trying to read mine and how to send some of my thoughts to other people. She also taught me a charm that I've sent to Ron, Ginny and to you. This charm allows you to do magic unnoticed by the Ministry or anyone trying to see if you are casting a spell.
Did you hear about Mr. Weasley promotion? He totally deserved it. Now, finally, Ron will be a little less grumpy about money.
Write to me soon.
Harry.
Harry attached the letters to Hedwig, Pig, and Errol so they could deliver the letters for Hermione, Ron and Ginny. A thought crossed Harry's mind - he would study Ginny and discover what kind of pet she liked and then give it to her as a present.
Harry was ready to drink the potion and fall sleep when he remember about the Ministry owl. He picked the letter, opened it, and start to read.
Dear Mr. Potter
With this letter we inform you that you should come to the Ministry Offices this Saturday because we are to do the official ceremony for the redistribution of the Crouch family's spoils. Considering that you were the biggest part responsible by the fall of this clan, you will receive the bigger part of their goods. More will be explained at the ceremony. We look forward to your attendance.
Mr. Peassegod, Head of the Law Enforcement Department.
Harry didn't want to think about that so he decided to drink the potion and ask questions to Arabella in the morning. He drank the potion and lay down peacefully on his bed. His sleep was blessed with good dreams about his friends and their families.
Harry awoke at five in the morning feeling like he had slept all night. So this how you feel using this potion: I have to take care I don't get addicted to it, he thought. He got up, put all the fan letters and their answers in the backpack together with the quill. He dressed for his exercises and went down the street, following the routine that Sirius had taught him yesterday.
He arrived at Arabella's house and there she was waiting for him with breakfast ready. During breakfast Arabella explained to Harry that according to the wizard law when you were considerate responsible in sending the last man of a family to Azkaban or killed him in self-defence you would then became his heir and inherit all of his finances. Harry, as the principal person responsible in bringing Barty Crouch Jr. to justice, would inherit all of the Crouch belongings.
Harry asked how he could send all the letters that he had to his fans, and Arabella told him that the owls were waiting to deliver the replies to their masters. She also said that she would take care of it and that Harry should resume his practice.
Harry spent the rest of the morning keeping the routine that Sirius had told him to do. Some exercises were at the machines, followed by his swimming hour and fighting practice. After all this he still had to make another those of the potion to contact his inner beast. He drank this and now he could feel the wind more. He was flying at huge speed, his feathers balancing him in the wind, and then he woke up.
After lunch, Harry and Arabella resumed their mental battle. It ended the same way. She told Harry that this was amazing considering that she had years of practice and even she couldn't past by Harry shield. It was natural that he couldn't pass her shields but his attempts were getting better and stronger. Arabella helped Harry to finish his homework and with her help and the Quick Quotes Quill it was easy.
The whole week passed this way. Finally Arabella found something that Harry was awful at: Scrying. It was not that Harry couldn't do it, but in the art of scrying Harry was like a normal wizard. He could only use the scrying spell on Hedwig, the animal that he was most familiar with. He couldn't scry using a crystal ball showing that he was average at this type of Divination.
In the other areas of his training, his work started to pay off. He was getting slightly better at everything. When Saturday came, Harry woke up at five like he always did and did his exercises - he didn't want any day off. But he knew he would have to change his routine at Hogwarts. His animagus training probably would be done in the evening, and he hoped that he wouldn't have to brew the potion any more so it would take less time. He also wouldn't use the machines every day.
After lunch, Arabella took Harry to Diagonal Alley by floo powder. Harry didn't like to travel by floo but now he was able to stand on his feet when he arrived at the Leaky Cauldron. Arabella told Harry that now was the time that she would pay for fourteen years of not giving presents and pushed Harry inside of the Glad Rags store. She spent almost three hours buying clothes for Harry, and he eventually had a whole new wardrobe. He had at least twenty T-shirts that could pass as muggle clothing, ten pairs of jeans pants, five jumpers, and five sets of Hogwarts uniform, all of superior quality. There were also two sets of Gryffindor Quidditch robes, four sets of dress robes - three to use on every day occasions and one special set that he should use for balls and other events of great magnitude. There were two winter coats, three sets of exercise clothes, one black fur coat, a dragon leather jacket, four pairs of sneakers and a pair of dragon-hide boots. She ordered that all this should be delivered to her house. And then they went to the Ceremony of Spoils.
In the Ceremony, Harry was congratulated for what he had done for wizarding kind and told that he was receiving all the assets of the Crouch clan. This included the Crouch Manor and several relics that he couldn't even remember the name of, the possession of a few places that were rented out so he would receive the rent every month, and the invisibility cloak.
After this a goblin told Harry that his vault was too small for all his new possessions so the goblins would move his belongings to a bigger vault and even assigned Harry a Goblin to take special care of his account. Harry followed the goblin to his new vault and what he saw there almost killed him. The mountain of galleons was far bigger than Hagrid in both ways! Harry was thinking that this wasn't a vault, but a house. It was filled with passages. Arabella stopped Harry dreaming by hitting him hard on his neck.
Harry didn't know how he had got back to the Dursleys. He just lay down and fell asleep, thinking that he was dreaming. All that money couldn't be his?
