places.
Chapter 9
Everyone meet at the entrance hall as planned and started to walk towards the town so that they could all apperate. "So who are we visiting first?" Lara asked, she was walking next to Harry holding his hand. "Well as you family is the furthest away I thought we would start with you and then start heading home pass everyone's homes. That fine with everyone?" Erin said. They all nodded. "Fine with me." Lara said, "But how are you guys going to get there? You need to know what the place your going to looks like to get their, we all saw a picture of Hogwarts before we came here and the houses in Australia aren't all the same as they are here in England." Harry and Bron both glared at Lara. "What it's true they all look the same." Lara argued. "Not all of them are the same they are different in a lot of places." Harry said. "and it makes it easier to build them and you always know where everything is in all the houses around you." Bron put in. "Well I like to have some difference in the houses around me, it gives individuality." "Wow Lara you used a big word!" Harry teased. "Hey I know lots of long words but I choose not to uses them, makes me sound smarter when I uses then!" Lara complained. "Well someone's really modest aren't they?" Ash said.
"Ok kids we need to go now. Come on." Erin led them out of the gates of Hogwarts and to the apparition point. "Now as for Lara's question." She pulled a small map out of he robes. "I want you all to apperate to this spot." She pointed to a dot on the map. "There we will meet up at the restaurant The Oyster Bar and then make are way to Lara's house." She quickly transforms her robes to Muggle cloths and did a charm to hide her more obvious Elven features. Then they all apperated out.
Harry landed under a building so he wasn't seen but the building was set above water so he was now knee deep in water. He climbed out and looked around for the others, he saw Erin come out from behind the building, which was labelled Mead's The Oyster Bar.
He saw Lara walking down a nearby hill and Bron he could see walking down the street from the other direction. But Ash he could see yet. Till something fell out of a nearby tree near him, he looked down and saw Ash sprawled on the ground with a very indignant look on her face. "You know I haven't fallen out of a tree since I was 7 I spent most I my childhood up a tree." Ash said as Harry helped her up. "Well maybe you will be more careful where you apperate!" he said laughing. "How was I meant to know there was a tree their?"
"Ok guys lets get going my house is about 20 minutes away so lets get going." Lara said starting to walk up the huge hill she had just walked down. "You must be joking! That hill is huge." Bron complained. "Yes and if you complain you will be running up and down it for an hour." Erin called to her as she started walking up. "Complaining who's complaining? Were you complaining Ash?" "No. Harry?" "Defiantly not lets go." They all walked up the street and found the other two waiting for them. Lara then led them down a nearby street. Close to the end of the street was a turn off down another street then Lara stopped outside a two-story house, with a person height wall and gate. Lara put in a code to open the gates, letting everyone in. The front of the house had two pairs of French doors and a small path leading around to the back garden. From the outside it looked like a normal Muggle house.
Lara looked at the house nervously and Harry gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "You'll be fine." He whispered. He pushed he towards the door. She took a deep breath and knocked. A few seconds later there was a loud barking from behind the door, followed by a voice.
"Kym! Jade! Down." Then the door opened revealing a girl with long black hair down to her shoulders and brown eyes. She looked a lot like Lara but was younger. "Sorry what can.Lara?" The girl stopped and looked a Lara for a minute before going weak at the knees and almost falling to the floor till Lara caught her.
"Alex, who's at the door? Alex." Another woman walked in this time older followed by a man. The woman also had black hair but with blue eyes like Lara, the Man had brown hair and brown eyes. "Lara?" the woman's voice was now weaker then before and she ran to her daughter and hugged her as if she would disappear if she let go.
The man looked at the others who were still outside and then at her daughter. "Well this was. this." He gave up then and ran over to his family who were still on the floor and hugged them all. "We missed you so much."
After a few minutes the family stood up and invited the others inside. "I know that you guys are shocked that I just turned up like this without nitice but I wanted to surprise you. Sorry." Lara said to her family. "We don't care as long as your safe." Her Mum said giving her another hug. Lara's Father turned to the group, "Thanks for bringing her home." "That's fine." Erin said, "but to tell the truth she wouldn't have gone missing if it weren't for me so I must appoligies to you all." "What?" "Dad I will explain in a minute can we sit down first though? My feet are killing me." Lara assured her father. "OK come in."
They all walked into the house and were lead to a reasonable sized living room. As they all sat down two very large dogs ran into the room and jumped on Lara. "Hey girls did you miss me?" the dogs wagged their tails as if saying 'yes' then walked around the room sniffing the new people in the house.
"So who are you and why did you take our daughter?" Lara's dad said. "Well my name is Erin, I am an elf who was chosen to train the heirs of the great wizards of the world. That is why your daughter disappeared, also why these three disappeared from their families." "What so you go around stealing peoples children then bring them back a year later?" He was starting to get angry. "Dad calm down!" Lara said, "Let us explain." "Although you may think that I chose the children randomly, I didn't each I took for a reason. They are all the heirs of the most powerful wizards in the world. Lara is the heir of Helga Hufflepuff, Bronwyn is the heir of Godric Gryffindor and Ashleigh is the heir of Rowena Ravenclaw. They are the heirs of the 4 creators of Hogwarts in England." Erin pointed at each of them as she said their names and ancestors. "And Harry is the heir of Merlin."
"Merlin, as in the Merlin?" Alex asked. "Yes" Erin answered. "And why should we believe you?" Lara's dad said. "Because darling I am also an heir of Hufflepuff." The man turned to his wife. "Why didn't you tell me this." He said accusingly. "Does it matter that I am related to some dead lady?" "Well.No I suppose not. But did you know this would happen?"
"No she wouldn't have because she wasn't needed at the time that she was Lara's age. Elves only take the heirs when there is a Dark Lord on the rise and they are needed to defeat them." Erin said. "Wait just a second there are no Dark lords around anymore. Not since Potter defeated You-know-who." Lara's mum said.
Harry sighed, "I guess the British government is doing a really good job of covering." Lara's family looked at him. At their confused faces he explained. "Voldemort rose again about just over a year ago." "What? How could this happen without the rest of the world knowing?" "The British Ministry has kept it from the British people, but they won't be able to hide it for much longer the people are getting scar about all the killings that are going on."
"Then how do you know." Lara's dad challenged. "Because I am the reason he is alive now." "Harry it isn't your fault you had no choice in the matter!" Lara said. "But I should have seen it, went my name came out of the cup I should have guessed that he was behind it!" "No one worked it out till it was too late, not even Dumbledore. I thought you had gotten over this." Lara said. She had walked over to her boyfriend and was kneeling next to her chair. "I don't think I will ever get over it."
"Would you like to explain what this is about? Please." Lara's dad asked. Harry paused for a second looking into Lara's eyes. "In my fourth year at Hogwarts in was entered into a competition that I wasn't old enough to be in and at the end of the competition I was transported by Portkey, with another entrant, Cedric, to a graveyard. Cedric was murdered but Voldemort used my blood to bring himself to full power then tried to kill me but I escaped. Soon after Erin took me."
"Why you?" "Because it seems to be Voldemort's life quest to get rid of me. I'm Harry Potter." "OH" There was a long silence while Lara's family digested this information.
"Oh sorry we didn't introduce ourselves did we. I'm Sarah and my husband is Paul, and this is Alexandra. I'm going to go make some drinks." She left the room and returned a few minutes later with a tray of water floating in front of her. "So how long are you staying?" "Well, Lara can stay here for a week and I will take everyone else to their parents to visit then come and pick her up at the end of the week." "What she has been missing for a year and YOU'RE going to take her away again after a week." Paul shouted. "Dad calm down it is important that I leave again other wise lots of people will die." Lara reasoned. "But why can't someone else do it your only kids?" Sarah asked. "I can't bare the thought of you getting hurt."
"I know it is hard for you as parents to know that your child is going into war but these teenagers are the only ones who can save the world from Voldemort." Erin said. "But he can't be that powerful he hasn't been active for 14 years." Alex said. "Sadly Voldemort is the final Hogwarts heir, the heir of Slytherin, and because he has had more time to learn how to use his power he has the advantage." Erin explain.
Harry looked up for the first time since his explanation about Voldemort. "Also Voldemort hasn't got anything against your daughter, Bron or Ash. So with he their he will attack me leaving them to attack him when he is busy." "What so you expect us to let you get attacked while we hide?" Lara butted in. "Well that is what will happen. At the moment all Voldemort cares about is getting me out of the way so that he will have clear reign. He thinks I am the last of the 5 heirs other then him. He doesn't know any of you exist." "I don't care I love you to much to let you do that." "I love you too. But that."
"Hi guys I'm home." Someone had just come though the front door. "Hello. Is anyone home." "Where in here." Sarah called. A girl walked in who looked about 20 years old, she looked like an older version of Lara. "How was your day? Mine was so bor. Holy shit. Lara? Is that you?" Lara jumped up and ran over to the giving her a big hug. Making he fall over in the process. "Oof! Lara I've missed you so much. Where have you been? Are you OK? When did you get back?" "I missed you too Jane. I've been around the place. Yes I'm fine. And I got back a few hours ago."
"Ok well I think we will leave now so that you can all get reacquainted" Erin said starting for the door. The other heirs following behind. Lara let go of the Jane and followed them. "But where is Harry going to go while we are with our families." Lara asked. "Well I was thinking of going to the Dursley's for a little while then going back to Hogwarts." "NO" All three female heirs yelled in unison. "You can't go back there. Why would you even consider it?" Lara asked. "Because I want to make sure that all of my belongings are gone from there and it would give them the fright of their lives."
Alex decided to butt in then, "Why couldn't you go back to your family?" "Because they are evil, cruel, inhumane monsters." "Lara" her mum scolded. "No that is the same thing I was about to say." Harry assured her. "Then why go back there?" "Because they may be evil, cruel, inhumane monsters but they are still my family so I am going to go talk to them." He looked at Lara and saw the scared look in her eyes. "Look would it help if I promised to drop by after I visit them so you know I am ok?" "It would help if you didn't go but OK but if you forget I will personally kill you." "Yes ma'am"
The Erin and the heirs left saying that they would see them in a week.
