The Disappearance . Chapter Four .
When Harry regained consciousness he wasn't in the stone cell. Instead he was lying on a large, comfortable bed with a red and silver bedspread. Off to his left he could hear people talking.
"He's been asleep for an awfully long time." a soft female voice said.
"Maybe we should try to wake him again." a deep male voice replied.
Then an amused voice said, "I don't think we need to. He is awake."
He didn't associate the voices with danger as he did with Voldemort's hissing voice so he allowed himself to relax slightly. Opening his emerald eyes Harry turned toward the voices and almost fell off the bed in surprise.
In front of him stood two men and two women but it was the older man that caught his attention. A man he had only seen once before in a picture. He wore navy robes and hair long white hair and a beard. "Merlin's beard!" Harry cried.
The others looked at him strangely but the man the comment was directed at simply chuckled. "Yes, that is what they say these days. Well Harry, you are in a mess. You see you are not really here with us. We can only speak to you when you are in a dream state. You were inadvertently pulled into this state when you lost consciousness. I suppose you'll have to thank Voldemort," he joked.
"Anyway," he continued, "now that you are here we can teach you how to return. But first I must introduce your other trainers. They are Godric Gryffindor," he pointed to the young brown haired man in scarlet who had piercing green eyes, "Rowena Ravenclaw," he inclined his head to a young woman with black hair, sky blue eyes, and blue robes, "and Helga Hufflepuff," he indicated a cheerful looking woman with fluffy brown hair and brown eyes. Her robes were canary yellow.
Harry was aware that his jaw had dropped but he couldn't seem to bring it back up. He was in the presence of the founders of Hogwarts, minus Salazar. He wondered why Salazar wasn't there but assumed it was because he wasn't dead yet. Snapping his jaw shut Harry got off the bed, bowed, and said, "Hello."
The founders looked amused for some reason. Then Godric said, "No need to bow to us Harry. You are after all our heir."
Harry was glad he was standing next to the bed because his knees gave way in shock and he sat down hard.
"That was a bit blunt don't you think, Godric," Rowena commented sarcastically.
Godric looked sheepish. "But it's true," he stated.
Merlin looked amused and Harry turned his attention to him. "Er... Sir," he started, "what should I call you?"
"Well Harry, you may call me Merlin. I guess I should inform you that you are my heir as well."
Harry put his head in his hands. "I'm going insane," he whispered, "the founders and Merlin are my ancestors."
Merlin laughed. "You're not insane Harry."
Harry groaned, but then something occurred to him. "Merlin, is Salazar my ancestor as well?"
"Salazar?" Helga interrupted. "You say that like you know him."
"I do," Harry replied. "He's a good friend of mine. We enjoy pranking everyone and scaring people by talking in Parseltounge," he said nostalgically.
"Really? You know Salazar?" Godric asked hopefully.
"Yes," Harry repeated.
"Is he okay? Tell us everything." Helga urged.
"He's fine. He's part of the Order. Brought most of the vampires in Transylvania to our side. That's where we met. We do a lot of pranks together. I don't really know what he thinks of me but I consider him to be sort of like my twin brother. I left some of my projects for him to work on while I'm gone and he's set up to meet the first vampire and Athan and Zev. Wish I could see his face when that happens. He told me about why he left Hogwarts and about Helga he said and I quote 'that little woman was the funniest person I ever met, but with a terrible temper.' I miss him already."
The founders looked sadly at him. "We know what you mean," Rowena said.
"On a happier note," Merlin cut in, "Yes, Salazar is also your ancestor."
Harry smiled. He had always felt close to Salazar. "Harry, what house were you in?" Godric asked.
"Gryffindor," Harry answered, "But only because I asked the hat not to put me in Slytherin. And when I talked to it again in fifth year it said I belonged in Slytherin or Ravenclaw. Though I did pull the Gryffindor sword out of the hat in my second year."
"Hmmm... that is curious. But I suppose you really would fit in any of the houses," Godric replied.
"Harry," Merlin said, "We are going to be training you while you are here. But most importantly you must know how to get back to us. When you feel yourself falling asleep or fading into unconsciousness picture us in your mind and you should come here.
You are very good at fighting but Godric will be able to teach you even more techniques. He will also teach you to use your beast-speaking ability better, lie detection, and lightning control. I know you are researching the Lightning Ring. Well, when you are done with your training you won't need it, though it with enhance your power.
Rowena will instruct you archery as well as art and music, those are mostly for stress relief and I'm sure you will need them. The archery will help your relations with the elves if you ever visit their kingdom as Eminor gave you the power to do. All Elves admire proficiency with the bow. She will also teach you gymnastics, which will help your agility.
Helga will teach you more about your healing abilities, pain control, and voice persuasion. She will also teach you muggle studies, basically like going through muggle school. It can be useful.
And I will teach you dark magic theory. It will be very helpful to know the dark arts as Voldemort will use them against you. I will also teach you how to become a dragon animagus. I know you haven't been able to achieve that but Drake gave you the power when he died. You will also learn your final animagus form. The griffin is your true form but you can create a final form, which is an animal that has never been and never will be again after you. You can also learn shape shifting; an extension of your pretender ability. You can become anything you see.
You will regain consciousness in a moment. You can still use some of your pain suppression techniques because they have more to do with the mind than magic. Goodbye for now, Harry."
Harry felt the founders and Merlin slipping away then he felt the stone floor beneath him again and looked up into the face of a death eater holding a hot poker.
