Chapter Three: Seeing his Ancestors
When Harry awoke, he saw that he was still in the room Salazar taken him to when he first arrived. Looking around, Harry saw a dark green robe with silver trimming lying on the foot of his bed. As he picked up the robe he heard a voice. "Hey! Be careful! You're not supposed to throw me around!" Looking down in surprise, he saw a small green and silver garter snake lying on the bed where the robes had lain.
"Sorry, didn't mean to throw you around. I just picked up the robe," Harry explained. Putting on the robe and placing the snake around his neck, he asked quickly asked it where he should go.
"Go right, then straight down the hallway," came the reply as the snake slithered to get more comfortable.
"You mean go to the Great Hall?"
"Yes, that's it. Now hurry! Salazar hates it when people are late!"
"Okay, okay! Don't sweat it!" Harry quickly ran down the hall. Just as he wanted to push the doors to the hall open, a voice from behind stopped him.
"Don't go in there just yet. Wait till they announce you." Harry turned around and saw Salazar standing behind him with a small smile on his face. Harry nodded and stood next to Salazar. "I see you've found my little present. His name is Zachary," Salazar said as they stood waiting.
"Who?"
Salazar snorted in laughter. "The snake that is around your neck." Harry stroked the snake lovingly.
"Oh! Thanks! He's beautiful." Salazar smiled, putting a hand on Harry's shoulder, as the doors of the Great Hall opened and Harry walked into the hall. As Harry stepped into the hall he gasped, "Wow, this looks so much different!"
"Of course it does! The great hall, as you know it, is a thousand years old in your time. Of course there have been changes. Now lets meet the rest of your family." Looking up to the head table Harry saw that there were only 4 seats with the rest of Harry's ancestors, except Merlin, who Salazar whispered would not be here. "Come on." Salazar said, leading Harry right up to the head table. Salazar and Harry bowed once they got to the front. "This, Harry, is Godric Gryffindor," Salazar said while pointing to a man in red and gold robes. "Next to him is the fair Lady Ravenclaw, who is sitting next to Helga Huffelpuff. I sit next to Helga." The founders acknowledged him with a quick nod and a smile.
"Come Harry, sit here!" Rowena called, conjuring up a chair between Godric and her. Sitting down Harry looked at the astounded students who were watching the event with shocked expressions on their faces.
Addressing the students, Godric said, "This is Harry. Treat him with the same respect you treat us with. He will be here for quiet a while, so please, make him feel at home. Oh, one more thing. I wanted to say that there will be a dueling tournament this year. Fourth year and above will be allowed to compete. So practice hard and help others. Now, let's eat!" With a cheer the tables filled with food and they started eating.
