A/N: Here is Chapter six for you all, I put a little authors note at the end, let me know if you want the thanks here at the beginning or at the end. For now, it will be here at the top. Thanks to:
Wolfmoon: Thank you very much for your kind words and advice, I am a horrible person at grammar, hopefully this chapter is at least a little better. J It is longer, so let me know. Glad to hear that you like it so far.
Shdurrani: Thank you, here is the next one.
Sydney: I'm sorry that it has been more than a day, but unfortunately, with me in college my free time is less. But good news here is the next chapter.
SillyPaulie: Thanks, here is the next chapter.
Jake: Glad to hear it, here is more.
Jade Black-Potter-Lupin: Thanks I agree it is a wicked story, Tidus Rocks!! Enjoy the next chapter.
Iniysa: Thank you glad you like it.
Pmp'slover: Glad you like it. Thanks
Fallen Angel of Hell: Thanks Glad you like it.
Pblegacy: You know you brought up a good point, so I kind of tuned it down with the funny Dumbledore, I was trying to make him seem more jovial but it just didn't work. Let me know if he is better now. Glad you like the story.
Death-theonlytruefreedom: You make an excellent point, can't believe I didn't notice that. What I was trying to do though was to add the defeat of Quirrel not necessarily that he got the stone from him, but rather that he defeated him to keep the stone, get what I am attempting to say, if not let me know. But glad you like the story so far.
Alanpatt07: I am glad you brought this up, in case someone else was thinking the same thing. Sirius said that knowing that Harry usually feels sorry for his existence, he feels that if he did not exist than his parents would. So Sirius was saying don't blame yourself so Harry wont go out and kill him self or something drastic like that. See?? Glad you like it so far.
Thanks to everybody who has read and reviewed as always please read and review again. Now on to the story!!!
Chapter Six: The BlackPot Mansion
Harry stepped out of the fireplace and into the foyer. He looked around with immense surprise and awe. He was standing in a room that you could easily fit three of the Dursleys house inside and he was only in the foyer. All of a sudden he heard a "crack" of someone apparating which made Harry jump, (he had had far to much experience with apparating to last him a life time.) However, this apparation was of a house elf that was dressed quite properly and bowed in front of Harry while introducing himself.
"Good morning sir, my name is Zidane and I am one of six house elves that work the BlackPot mansion."
As he said this five more house elves apparated on the spot all looking like Zidane in their uniform. They wore a black uniform with both family crests melded into one giant crest that was displayed on the back in silver and green. The Black's crest consisted of a solid black wolf that was howling at a bright silver moon. Harry's family crest (or should we say since he was officially a Black as well) the Potter family crest was a green dragon spitting out a silver flame. All encased inside a coat of arms. The house elves attempted to bow and introduce themselves at the same time but it was not working quite like they wanted to and all it sounded like was a bunch of garble. While Harry did get a good laugh out of this, he did not get any of their names, so he kindly asked if they could go one at time. They all did so, there were three females names Rosemary, Rikku, and Aeirth. Then the two remaining males introduced themselves as Justice, and Sory.
" Well it is a pleasure to have met all of you, I am officially Lord Harry James Black Potter, however I ask that you simply call me Harry, I am not much for titles and such." He spoke this to the now astonished group of house elves after hearing that he was a Black and a Potter. Harry also heard excited whispers coming from the house elves, "Just like his father,"
"Yeah I know, he even looks like James" Zidane actually spoke next to Harry.
" Harry, as we are the house elves that have been inside this mansion for some time alone, we are all very happy to have the master return. However, we have not cleaned the proper way for we lost some hope when Master Sirius, Master James, and Madame Lily left and never returned. We all feared the worse, but it seems that our fears can be put to rest. So we all do need to go and clean the mansion the way we are supposed to."
"Of course Zidane," Harry said. " I do understand, however I do have a request if I could have one of you stay with me to give me a short tour of the mansion, so I don't get lost immediately.
"Harry it would be my honor" Zidane replied.
With that said the rest of the house elves disapparated to go to whatever rooms they needed to clean.
"Zidane I really do appreciate this." Harry said.
"It is no problem to serve the master, we are just so happy to finally have someone living in the mansion again."
"Ah yes, well about that Zidane, I am still under age for another year, and I am not sure if I will be able to live here after school this year. I hope that will be staying here I think until school starts this year, but I am not sure. Actually I did forget, Professor your standing right behind me."
"Yes Harry I am still here, I was just admiring this room, I daresay that this mansion might be bigger than Hogwarts." Dumbledore replied.
"You're kidding, right Professor?"
"No Harry I am not, it will probably take you some time to find your way without getting lost, however about the issue at hand, we will add it to the list that we need to discuss later today. Now why don't you go explore with Zidane here and I will come back in a few hours. There is still your parents will to go through along with legal papers from the ministry. We also still need to discuss your dream you had last night."
"Of course Professor, so I guess I will see you in few hours."
"Do have some fun Harry I am sure that your parents and Godfather meant for you to enjoy yourself." Dumbledore replied with a smile.
"Thanks Professor."
Dumbledore went to the fireplace and yelled out, "Hogwarts castle" and he was gone.
"Wow, bigger than Hogwarts, that's amazing. Zidane if you would please lead the way." Harry said to the house elf that was jumping up and down with anticipation.
Zidane started walking with Harry following close behind looking at pictures of his family, moving landscapes, and pictures of when he was a baby. He liked all of them, but his favorite picture was of his mother and father with Remus and Sirius, all on broomsticks with a baby Harry in the middle on a mini broomstick. It showed everybody so happy and carefree and it was probably part of the reason that Harry loved to fly so much. Zidane continued and Harry followed, they were going to stop at major parts of the mansion. Their first stop was at a giant room that was decked out in Gryffindor colors. It had an enormous fireplace with numerous couches and easy chairs surrounding the fire. When Harry walked into the room the fire automatically roared to life. Harry looked around; he liked this room and would probably spend a lot of time here if he were allowed to stay. Harry looked around one more time, smiled and left to follow Zidane to another part of the mansion. While Harry was admiring the many rooms he kept thinking to himself, "How did my parents build this? It is an amazing building."
Their next stop was a simple room that Harry was quite familiar with.
"Zidane, is this a room of requirement?" asked Harry.
"Yes Harry it is, this is what your parents are famous for. Together they created a room that would furnish whatever they desired while they were inside of the room. It is how they made their already enormous fortune even bigger. It was the Potters, centuries ago that created the money system that you wizards use today. Naturally, they received quite a bit of money and it was your parents that again invented a useful tool. They sold one to Hogwarts and to a few trusted people, but one of these rooms cost a lot of money.
"Zidane," Harry asked. "How long have you served for my family?"
"Well it seems like only yesterday I started, but I have served the longest in this mansion, I say about 150 years. I have seen many masters pass away but none more tragic than the loss of Lily and James."
"I am sorry for your loss Zidane"
"As I am sorry for your loss sir, but today is not a sad day but rather a day to rejoice for the young master has returned and will triumph over evil. As good will hopefully always win. Anyway, shall we continue on the tour? There are only a couple places left of special interest and than I shall leave you to explore on your own." Zidane replied with a smile.
"All right than, where to next?"
"We Harry are going to the largest known library in the world."
So Harry and Zidane walked a slow pace, so Harry could look at all the amazing things that the mansion held. They arrived at the library, which had an entire wing to itself, and was at least three floors high. Harry walked in to a great sight. He was never the type of person to study like Hermonie but even he was impressed by the vast subjects and the numerous books on those subjects. He instantly went to the sports section to look for Quidditch books. What he found was an entire column on teams, strategies, and rules. Harry knew that Wood would have been green with envy if he ever saw all the books that he would get to use for this upcoming Quidditch season. After Harry was done looking around the enormous library, Zidane took him to the last stop on the tour. Zidane led Harry to a regular door and stopped, he turned to Harry and said.
"Now Harry this room was a very special room to Master Sirius. He created it himself, I will lead you in and explain more when we are inside."
Zidane led Harry into the room and Harry was struck by how awesome it was. He was looking at an entire forest inside of a room. He and Zidane were standing on a stone path that led into the forest. Harry and Zidane stood for a few minutes in complete silence, just listening to the sounds of a happy forest, before Zidane spoke up to explain the room.
"Master Sirius created this room for relaxation purposes. He loved to run around in his dog form in the forest, which has many mysterious things inside. Moreover, during the nighttime he loved to star gaze, probably because he is named after the star, this ironically means Dog Star. So at night this forest disappears for the most part and becomes an open sky looking up at the heavens to see the stars. He would come here just about everyday to relax and he would come every night to sleep, he made a cabin in the forest with no roof. It is the only part of the forest that doesn't disappear."
"This is simply amazing, thank you Zidane for this wondrous tour you have given me." Harry replied.
"It is of no trouble at all Harry, though I do have a question that may seem rather bold for a house elf,"
"What is that Zidane, you can ask me anything"
"Well you see, your parents and Sirius thought that we house elves should work here because we want to not because we have to. They gave us a salary and days off if we needed them. I was wondering if you would be doing the same, mind you we will still work this house if you choose not to."
"Zidane, your crazy, you don't have to ask such a thing, of course I will keep with what my parents have done before me, just write down what you need and I will see that it happens." Harry replied with a smile.
"Thank You Harry, you truly are your father's son. Now Harry I believe that you should have free reign of your castle, so I will leave you now, but I will give you this map. It shows all of the rooms and how to get somewhere should you get lost. If you need me just call."
And with that said Zidane disapparated leaving Harry to his many thoughts. Harry looked around the forest for a few minutes before leaving to head back to the library. He was curious on how he knew that Tidus was wielding a water blade, when he had never seen one before in his life. He knew that by looking at it, the sword looked like it was made out of water (except for the hilt) So he wanted to look it up and find out some information on it. However, when he arrived at the library and looked under the weapons section, he could find no mention of the word Water Blade. He felt that this was weird but decided to ask Professor Dumbledore about it later today. So Harry grabbed some Quidditch books and headed back to the room that reminded him of the Gryffindors common room. He read for about an hour and half (way to tired to explore and get lost) when Sory apparated and said,
"Harry, Professor Dumbledore has arrived and is wondering if he should come back at a later time?"
"No, Sory, go tell Professor Dumbledore that I am on my way, please"
Sory disapparated and told Professor Dumbledore that Harry would arrive shortly. Harry finally arrived in the foyer where the Professor was waiting.
"Sorry Professor but I got lost." Harry said.
"No Problem, Harry," Professor Dumbledore replied. "Are you ready to go back to my office to finish reading the papers and wills?"
"Yes sir I am."
So Harry and Professor Dumbledore flooed back to Hogwarts and sat down at the desk.
"Harry your parents will is the next item that needs to be read."
Professor Dumbledore gave Harry the envelope and Harry opened the letter and started to read.
A/N: I love cliffhangers. Anyway here is Chapter Six, your going to have to be patient because it took me some time to finally type this up. It only took me three days to actually write it (And about 10 cups of hot chocolate) I have started Chapter seven which will be Harry's Parents will. Thanks to those who reviewed and please, do review after reading this chapter. Until next time,
