Chapter 2: The Heir of Gryffindor
Harry woke up the next morning fumbling for his glasses. He had forgotten where he was for a split second. He had thought he had been dreaming about being released. He put on his glasses and stretched. He let out a big yawn. His stomach grumbled. He took the water pitcher and poured himself a glass. He drank the water before he got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
He got ready and went back in to his room there was another set of robes waiting for him. Soon he was fully dressed and he looked at the meal that was left for him. There was another letter from Dumbledore. He let out a sigh and he took the letter and began to read.
Harry,
Again here is some food. If you are still hungry you can call for Dobby or you can come to the Great Hall. I still have your trunk and all your school items in my office. You can have it back. I have gotten the paper ready all we need is for you to sign them and the ministry to verify them.
Harry read the letter and looked at the meal. He was hungry. He took the top off the lid and looked at the food in front of him. Four eggs, four pieces of bacon, four sausages, with four pancakes. Harry let out a laugh.
"Dumbledore you are outdoing yourself," Harry said to himself as he began to eat.
Harry ate for quite sometime. He ate everything. There was nothing on his plate when he was done. He got up and walked towards the door. He didn't want to talk to anyone, but he wanted to get out of Hogwarts as quick as possible and he was still sort of hungry.
Harry walked to the Great Hall in silence. When he walked in, there was more silence, as Harry walked straight up to the staff table. The staff looked at Harry in fear. Professor Flitwick looked depressed. Professor McGonagall looked like she was going to cry.
"Albus, I would like to sign those papers so I can go," Harry said quietly, looking away from all his former Professors.
"All right Harry. Would you like to eat anymore?" Albus asked as Harry shook his head.
"I am all right," Harry said looking at the floor.
"Potter, you are still the same little bastard that you were before you went to Azkaban. Take a seat and eat a little."
"I said I was all right Severus," Harry said glaring at the man that had put him through hell when he was at school.
"Well I thought you would be happy to be out Potter," Severus said. "I mean the Dark Lord had everyone fooled. Kept on telling his Death Eaters how we were planning to break you out. It was rather amusing."
"Quiet Severus!" Albus said warningly.
"You better watch your mouth Snape!" Harry growled dangerously. "You can tell your Master that I am coming for him and every little one of his little Death Eaters including yourself."
"Is that a threat Potter?" Snape said standing up, drawing his wand.
"You're damn right Snivellus." Harry said in a low powerful voice.
"Locomotor Mortis!" Snape screamed as Harry avoided the leg locker curse.
"Expelliarmus! Furnunculus! Densaugeo!" Harry said in one quick moment, surprising everyone.
All three spells hit Snape. The disarming spell hit Snape in the chest sending him flying back. He caught his wand in his outstretched hand. The second spell hit Snape, which made boils break out all over his body. The third spell was Snape in the face. His teeth immediately started to grow.
"Two years rotting in hell and I still have enough strength to take you out Snivellus. Just imagine if I was at my full strength. Let's go Albus," Harry said angrily as Albus looked towards the fallen man.
"Minerva would you please get Severus to Madam Pomfrey. I need to take care of this," Albus said as Minerva nodded.
Harry followed Albus out of the Great Hall and to his office. They walked in silence. When they got there Harry took a seat and Albus took a seat at his desk.
"All right we have a lot to talk about, but first I need you to sign this," Albus said handing him a thick document.
Harry took it and began to read through it. Albus didn't seem surprised at the fact that Harry was reading the whole document word for word. When Harry was finished Harry signed it.
"Here you go. I want those verified by tonight," Harry said standing up.
"Please remain seated Harry. We have much to talk about," Albus said as Harry gave him a cold glare and sat down.
"Harry, I need to talk to you about your heritage. Let me start with your Great Grandfather. Your Great Grandfather was a powerful wizard. Alex Dean Potter was one of the Greatest Wizards of his time. He was apart of the AK22 Ranger squad. To sum it up, he was a Dark Assassin. The mansion you are inheriting is an ancient house with many ancient things. This mansion is untraceable. The only way to get into the house is if the owner to the house wants to let you in so that means no one can bother you if you don't want them to, and no one can find you unless you tell them." Albus said as Harry only gave a blank look.
"What about you?" Harry asked as Albus frowned.
"I would know the location, but I wouldn't tell anyone," Albus said as Harry nodded.
"I will hold you to that Albus. Now may I go back to my room?" Harry asked as Dumbledore frowned and shook his head again.
"Hold on one second. I have a couple more things to tell you. I need to give you this," Albus taking out a book from his desk. "It is a book on your heritage."
"I am sorry Albus, but this says Godric Gryffindor?" Harry said as relation sunk in.
"Yes, Harry I know. I was reading through this book on Godric Gryffindor and I have found you are the Heir of Gryffindor..." Albus said as Harry cut in.
"Don't you mean descendant of Gryffindor?" Harry asked as Albus shook his head.
"No. The Heir of Gryffindor. I found that out in that book so that means I should give you this," Albus said levitating the Sword of Gryffindor to Harry. "This is yours."
"Can I ask you something? Where is Fawkes?" Harry asked looking at Fawkes perch as Albus frowned
"Fawkes left me some time after you were put away." Albus said sadly.
"Why? Where did he go?" Harry asked, apparently confused.
"Well you are innocent. He saw my mistake and shunned me for it so he left me. I didn't get it until I found you were innocent," Albus said, as there was an awkward silence.
"Well it surprises me. I always thought you were the Heir of Gryffindor," Harry said looking at the Sword of Gryffindor up and down, breaking the silence.
"Many people mistake me for that, but in truth I am the Heir of Rowena Ravenclaw," Albus said as Harry only shrugged. Harry was so caught up in knowing about his heritage he forgot he was mad at the man.
"Can I go now?" Harry asked as Albus sighed.
"Yes you may go now. I will come tell you when the forms have been verified," Albus said as Harry stood up.
There were thunderous footsteps from behind the door. The door to Albus' office soon banged open.
"HE WAS INNOCENT! I TOLD YOU ALBUS! I SAID FROM THE BEGINNING HE WAS INNOCENT! WHERE IS HE?" Harry's old half-giant friend said grabbing Harry into a huge hug.
"Remus and I said from the beginning he was innocent Dumbledore," Hagrid said, still hugging Harry.
"I know Hagrid," Albus said with a nod.
"Hagrid! AIR!" Harry choked out.
"Sorry Harry. I am just so happy you are back. It is true. Remus and me stuck by you," Hagrid said as Harry smiled.
"That is nice to know Hagrid. Could I ask how Remus has been?" Harry asked as both Hagrid and Albus frowned at the same time.
"Well Harry, Remus and I got into a, uh, duel after you were put away. Remus was livid when I wouldn't do anything to help you. None of the Order or myself have seen him since," Albus said as Harry's face immediately fell.
"I am sorry Harry. Both of our emotions got the best of us. We both said some things that we both regretted, or more so, I regretted, but I sent him an Owl telling him that you were cleared and I was sorry, but he never responded. I presume he will arrive tomorrow because tonight is the full moon," Albus said quickly as Harry only glared.
"I am going back to my room. It is nice seeing you Hagrid. I will come by and talk to you sometime. Dumbledore," Harry said, "if I leave tonight, I want you to tell Remus my location. I want to talk to him."
"All right Harry," Albus said nodding.
"Bye Hagrid," Harry said walking out of the room.
Harry felt better after leaving Albus's office. Knowing that Hagrid and Remus both believed he was innocent made Harry feel good. Harry walked down the corridors back towards his room. He hoped he could see Remus before he went to his house. He turned down the corridors where his room was, but then he stopped in his tracks. He drew his wand.
Ron Weasley was standing in front of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. He looked at Harry who was walking up to him with his wand drawn. Ron looked nervous.
"Hi, Hi Harry," Ron stuttered out.
"Get out of here," Harry said in a low voice. "I don't ever want to see you again."
"Harry, it is me Ron. Your best friend," Ron said sadly.
"MY BEST FRIEND. My best friend that got me sent to HELL. FUCK YOU. GET OUT OF HERE. I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN!" Harry screamed angrily.
Ron stumbled back and ended up tripping over his own feet. He fell on his ass. He quickly got up and walked off with his head bowed. Hermione came out of the classroom to see what was going on. She stopped in her tracks upon seeing Harry. She ran over to him and tried grabbing him into a hug, but Harry stopped her. He grabbed her by the wrists.
"Don't touch me. You disgust me. As I told Weasley I don't ever want to see any of you guys again," Harry said pushing her away.
"Ha--Ha--Harry. Please let me explain," she choked out through a sob as she sunk to the floor.
"Explain what? Explain how it was your fault I was rotting in hell for two years?" Harry yelled angrily.
"Harry we didn't know," she said sobbing.
"You didn't? You didn't know? That is bullshit. Ron was too busy kicking my ass and you were to busy ranting about having me put in Azkaban to pay attention. What did you think? I ran ten yards away just to go in to Lucius Malfoy's arms. Are you an idiot? YES YOU ARE YOU STUPID LITTLE BITCH!" Harry screamed as Hermione sobbed louder.
Harry ran past her and into the classroom. He was so mad; he thought it was the maddest he had ever been. He was surprised he didn't do accidental magic in on her. He went to his room and jumped into his bed. Then he did something he hadn't done for along time. Cried. He began to sob. He never cried in Azkaban, not even when he saw a three-year-old girl being raped by a Death Eater.
He couldn't control himself. All the tears unshed over the past 3 years poured out of his eyes. He cried for Sirius. He cried for what happened to him. How his friends and Dumbledore had turned their backs on him. All the innocent victims that had been murdered or raped by Death Eaters. He cried until he couldn't cry anymore and then he went into a forced sleep.
.........
Harry got woken up some time later and took a shower. He got dressed in new robes that appeared in the bathroom. Harry thought Dumbledore had the shower activated to bring new robes every time he showered. He got dressed and put his hair in a ponytail. He went back into his room and laid on his bed. There was a knock on the door.
"I don't who it is, but I don't feel like company right now," Harry said kind of rudely.
"Oh, I am sorry," a girl's voice said from behind the door. Harry got up and ran to the door. He opened it to find Katie turning to leave.
"Sorry, I thought you were someone else," Harry said as Katie turned around and smiled.
"Hey, how was your day been?" she asked as Harry ushered for her to come in. Harry just frowned.
"Not good I guess," she said frowning at him.
"I saw Ron and Hermione," he said quietly.
"Oh," she said with wide eyes.
"Yeah. It wasn't good," Harry said as Katie smiled at him.
"I can imagine. I like your hair," she said as Harry smiled.
"Yeah, I need to cut it," Harry said grabbing hold of the ponytail and frowning at it.
"I was serious. I think you look sexy with a ponytail," she said as Harry let out a laugh.
"That is..." Harry began but stopped when there was a knock on the door. He thought it might be Dumbledore.
"Hold on," he said standing up and walking over to the door.
When he opened it he stood face to face with Molly Weasley. Her husband stood behind her. Harry was surprised to see that he had a magical eye like Mad-Eye Moody. Charlie stood next to him while Fred and George stood in the back of the office. Bill wasn't there.
"We just came..." Molly began, but Harry didn't hear the ending because he slammed the door in her face.
"I don't care. I told Bill I don't want nothing to do with any of you so leave me alone," Harry said angrily.
Harry locked the door and put a silencing charm on the room. He didn't want to have to hear Molly Weasley cry. He didn't want to hear. It would only make him angrier. He turned around and leaned up against the door before he sank to the floor. He had his head in his hands.
"It is all right Harry," Katie said walking over to him.
She put an arm around him. He just sat there with his head in his hands. She patted him on the shoulder before she pulled him into a hug. She held him tightly, but Harry just sat there with his head in his hands. Suddenly he wrapped his arms around Katie and began to hold her closely to him. She whispered comforting words into his ear as he sat there on the brink on tears. Soon he gained control of himself and he stood up. He gave her a hand up.
"I am sorry," Harry said looking at the floor.
"It is all right Harry. I sort of liked it," she said making Harry smiled. She was good at making Harry smile.
"So how was your day?" Harry asked trying to change the subject.
"Horrible. A Dementor wandered in to the hospital wing while I was taking care of someone. It scared me half to death," she said as Harry frowned. "Sorry. I know you probably don't want to hear about that place."
"I just don't know how you can work there. That place is hell," Harry said looking at his feet.
"Good thing you never have to go there again," she said smiling at him as Harry nodded. There was a knock on the door.
"It's probably Dumbledore," Harry said standing up and walking over to the door. He opened it to find Albus.
"Here you go. You have company," Albus said looking at Katie.
"Yes I do. What were you giving me?" he asked as Dumbledore nodded before he handed him a set of keys with two keys on it.
"And here is the location. All you have to do is apparate thinking about that location and it will take you there. I am guessing you have enough power to apparate now?" Albus said as Harry nodded.
"Can I ask you a favor?" Harry asked as Albus nodded. "I was wondering if there were any apprenticeships opened here at Hogwarts?"
"Yeah, Harry if you want an apprenticeship we can work..." Albus began but Harry cut in.
"No it isn't for me. It is for Katie. I was wondering if Madam Pomfrey would want an apprentice?" Harry asked as Albus nodded and smiled.
"Yes she probably would. I will have to talk to her about it, but I think that could be arranged," Albus said as Harry nodded,
"Can we have a minute Sir?" Katie said walking up.
"Of course," Albus said before turning around and walking out closing the door behind him.
"What was that?" she asked frowning.
"I just thought you would..." Harry said but Katie cut him off.
"You didn't even ask me," Katie said annoyed.
"I'm sorry. I just thought you wanted to get away from Azkaban and since Percy is being an ass, this would be the easiest way," Harry said bowing his head. "Next time I won't meddle."
"No I'm sorry Harry. The thing is you were reminding me of Percy and that is why I got irritated, but I think it is great," she said happily. "Thank you. Can I ask you what that is?"
"It is the keys to my family home. I am going to there tonight, actually right now," Harry said looking down at the two gold keys on the key ring.
"Oh," Katie said quietly. "I guess you want to go alone then?"
"You can come with me if you want. I would appreciate the company," Harry said as Katie smiled.
"Of course," she said as Harry nodded.
"Well off we go then," Harry said sticking out his arm that she took.
.........
Harry had brought his sword and book with him. Albus had brought along his trunk with all his old school possessions. He said he would have given it to him earlier it he hadn't been it such a hurry. It didn't take them very long to get to Hogsmeade where they were able to apparate.
Harry left Albus telling him to give Remus the way to get there. Albus nodded and told Harry to be safe and that he would Owl him with any news that had to do with Voldemort. Harry just shrugged and showed Katie the address. She nodded her confirmation and Harry nodded. They both apparated at the same time. It felt odd for Harry to be apparating. He landed where he least expected. Katie gasped. Harry dropped all his stuff.
"Harry, I thought you said a house. You didn't say a castle," Katie said, apparently shocked.
The castle was a little bit smaller than Hogwarts. There was a huge lake next to it. For a second Harry thought he was at Hogwarts. The beauty of the castle mesmerized Harry. He looked at the gate. He saw that it was locked. He ushered for Katie to follow.
He went up to the gate and looked at the golden lock. It was a padlock. Harry turned the lock around and saw there was a keyhole. He took out his keys that Albus had given him and tried the first. It didn't work, but when he put the second one in, the lock clicked open and fell to the ground. There was sound of apparation as the gate opened. 100s of people apparated in.
"What are they?" Katie asked confused.
"House elves," Harry said looking at the hundreds of house elves as one of the house elves walked towards them.
"Who are you?" The house elf asked in a low voice walking in front of Harry and Katie.
"I am Harry Potter. I inherited this house from my par..." Harry said but stopped when the House elf turned around.
"We have a master now," he yelled as the house elves let out a loud cheer.
"I will take your things then I will show you around and give you all the passwords to all the rooms Master!" he said grabbing hold of Harry's things and apparating away with a pop.
"Alright, I will show you and your missus around," the house elf said apparating back.

"I am sorry Albus, but this says Godric Gryffindor?" Harry said as relation sunk in.

I ran ten yards away just to go in to Lucius Malfoy's arms. Are you an idiot? YES YOU ARE YOU STUPID LITTLE BITCH!" Harry screamed as Hermione sobbed louder.

"Oh, I am sorry," a girl's voice said from behind the door. Harry got up and ran to the door. He opened it to find Katie turning to leave.
"Sorry, I thought you were someone else," Harry said as Katie turned around and smiled.

"I was serious. I think you look sexy with a ponytail," she said as Harry let out a laugh.
"That is..." Harry began but stopped when there was a knock on the door. He thought it might be Dumbledore.
"Hold on," he said standing up and walking over to the door.
When he opened it he stood face to face with Molly Weasley. Her husband stood behind her. Harry was surprised to see that he had a magical eye like Mad-Eye Moody. Charlie stood next to him while Fred and George stood in the back of the office. Bill wasn't there.
"We just came..." Molly began, but Harry didn't hear the ending because he slammed the door in her face.
"I don't care. I told Bill I don't want nothing to do with any of you so leave me alone," Harry said angrily.
Harry locked the door and put a silencing charm on the room. He didn't want to have to hear Molly Weasley cry. He didn't want to hear. It would only make him angrier. He turned around and leaned up against the door before he sank to the floor. He had his head in his hands.
"It is all right Harry," Katie said walking over to him.
She put an arm around him. He just sat there with his head in his hands. She patted him on the shoulder before she pulled him into a hug. She held him tightly, but Harry just sat there with his head in his hands. Suddenly he wrapped his arms around Katie and began to hold her closely to him. She whispered comforting words into his ear as he sat there on the brink on tears. Soon he gained control of himself and he stood up. He gave her a hand up.
"I am sorry," Harry said looking at the floor.
"It is all right Harry. I sort of liked it," she said making Harry smiled. She was good at making Harry smile.
"So how was your day?" Harry asked trying to change the subject.
"Horrible. A Dementor wandered in to the hospital wing while I was taking care of someone. It scared me half to death," she said as Harry frowned. "Sorry. I know you probably don't want to hear about that place."
"I just don't know how you can work there. That place is hell," Harry said looking at his feet.
"Good thing you never have to go there again," she said smiling at him as Harry nodded. There was a knock on the door.
"It's probably Dumbledore," Harry said standing up and walking over to the door. He opened it to find Albus.
"Here you go. You have company," Albus said looking at Katie.
"Yes I do. What were you giving me?" he asked as Dumbledore nodded before he handed him a set of keys with two keys on it.
"And here is the location. All you have to do is apparate thinking about that location and it will take you there. I am guessing you have enough power to apparate now?" Albus said as Harry nodded.
"Can I ask you a favor?" Harry asked as Albus nodded. "I was wondering if there were any apprenticeships opened here at Hogwarts?"
"Yeah, Harry if you want an apprenticeship we can work..." Albus began but Harry cut in.
"No it isn't for me. It is for Katie. I was wondering if Madam Pomfrey would want an apprentice?" Harry asked as Albus nodded and smiled.
"Yes she probably would. I will have to talk to her about it, but I think that could be arranged," Albus said as Harry nodded,
"Can we have a minute Sir?" Katie said walking up.
"Of course," Albus said before turning around and walking out closing the door behind him.
"What was that?" she asked frowning.
"I just thought you would..." Harry said but Katie cut him off.
"You didn't even ask me," Katie said annoyed.
"I'm sorry. I just thought you wanted to get away from Azkaban and since Percy is being an ass, this would be the easiest way," Harry said bowing his head. "Next time I won't meddle."
"No I'm sorry Harry. The thing is you were reminding me of Percy and that is why I got irritated, but I think it is great," she said happily. "Thank you. Can I ask you what that is?"
"It is the keys to my family home. I am going to there tonight, actually right now," Harry said looking down at the two gold keys on the key ring.
"Oh," Katie said quietly. "I guess you want to go alone then?"
"You can come with me if you want. I would appreciate the company," Harry said as Katie smiled.
"Of course," she said as Harry nodded.
"Well off we go then," Harry said sticking out his arm that she took.
.........
Harry had brought his sword and book with him. Albus had brought along his trunk with all his old school possessions. He said he would have given it to him earlier it he hadn't been it such a hurry. It didn't take them very long to get to Hogsmeade where they were able to apparate.
Harry left Albus telling him to give Remus the way to get there. Albus nodded and told Harry to be safe and that he would Owl him with any news that had to do with Voldemort. Harry just shrugged and showed Katie the address. She nodded her confirmation and Harry nodded. They both apparated at the same time. It felt odd for Harry to be apparating. He landed where he least expected. Katie gasped. Harry dropped all his stuff.
"Harry, I thought you said a house. You didn't say a castle," Katie said, apparently shocked.
The castle was a little bit smaller than Hogwarts. There was a huge lake next to it. For a second Harry thought he was at Hogwarts. The beauty of the castle mesmerized Harry. He looked at the gate. He saw that it was locked. He ushered for Katie to follow.
He went up to the gate and looked at the golden lock. It was a padlock. Harry turned the lock around and saw there was a keyhole. He took out his keys that Albus had given him and tried the first. It didn't work, but when he put the second one in, the lock clicked open and fell to the ground. There was sound of apparation as the gate opened. 100s of people apparated in.
"What are they?" Katie asked confused.
"House elves," Harry said looking at the hundreds of house elves as one of the house elves walked towards them.
"Who are you?" The house elf asked in a low voice walking in front of Harry and Katie.
"I am Harry Potter. I inherited this house from my par..." Harry said but stopped when the House elf turned around.
"We have a master now," he yelled as the house elves let out a loud cheer.
"I will take your things then I will show you around and give you all the passwords to all the rooms Master!" he said grabbing hold of Harry's things and apparating away with a pop.
"Alright, I will show you and your missus around," the house elf said apparating back.
