Chapter 5 Destiny.Morning found them all not exactly hung over but feeling a bit flat, at a bit of a loose end, the party had been fun and it had occupied them all, more or less, for a few days
It had ended the previous night and they were lacking something to fill the void.
Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Ron and Molly were sat lethargically around the kitchen table and Ginny with a real note of exasperation said, "If we had a House Elf we..."
There was a pop and Jemma appeared and said, "Good morning Ginny what do you need?"
Ginny was totally amazed but Harry said, "Hi Jemma, we were thinking that if this house was clean and tidy we could all come to stay in the Potters Wheel."
Jemma clicked her fingers and the other five elves from the Potters Wheel appeared, Harry introduced them all, to everyone who didn't know them, then Jemma told the elves that the house needed tidying; the elves disappeared in blurs and five minutes later Jemma reappeared with the other five elves behind her and said, "The house is tidy but I had to do a little redecorating in some places that were getting warn, would you like to check everything please?"
They all went to check the house and when they returned to the kitchen they were smiling and telling each other how nice the whole house was looking, several rooms including Ron's, Molly's and the lounge had been redecorated. The kitchen was sparkling Mimi was the only elf who had stayed behind with Jemma, Mimi had insisted on doing all the ladies hair which prompted them to all go and change their clothes for something smarter.
Eventually they were all ready and they stood in the middle of the kitchen touching the 'P' key and with the slightest contact of Harry's wand they were transported to the Potters Wheel.
"Well," said Molly, "I must admit that I was dreading that trip because I hate Portkeys but that was very pleasant indeed. But you have a Floo, why didn't we use that?"
They were still stood in the entrance hall and Harry said, "Because you can only use it to leave until you are cleared to enter by me from this end." He cast a charm that included Molly's, Luna's and Ron's names and continued, "The three of you are now cleared for the Floo, apparently if someone polyjuiced as one of you tries to enter they will be transported directly to a cell in the Ministry of Magic. If you think that Mad Eye Moody was nuts on constant vigilance then you should try reading some of the books here, but you can't do that because only the Master can read them, Constant Vigilance."
"Oh you didn't tell them the best bit," said Ginny smiling and poking her tongue out at Hermione, "if he reads some of the books out to anyone else their mind is permanently and totally erased, so no one can force him to tell them about the house's security, Constant Vigilance."
They had started to move into the inner hall when Jemma arrived and said, "Let me show you where you will be sleeping, you first Mrs Weasley."
So they set off following Jemma to the Eastern front bedroom, the furniture quantity was the only thing that remained the same as the first time the trio had seen the room, the style and decoration had changed, it now looked the same as Molly's room in the Burrow, she loved it.
As they left the room Molly said, "Do you know where your parents are going to sleep Hermione?"
So they turned to the right out of the room and along to the far end then into the Grangers room, on the way Molly asked, "How do we lock our rooms?"
Jemma told her, "All the rooms are the same, as soon as you take possession of one you are the only person able to open the door, except of course for the Master."
"This is quite nice," said Molly as they entered the Grangers room, she could see that in everything except style of decoration it was identical too her room.
However Hermione said excitedly, "This will be lovely for them, it is so like their room at home. I'm going downstairs to phone them and I will catch you up in a minute." With that she dashed off towards the stairs.
"Is there a Feletone in the house then?" Said Ron knowledgeably.
"No Ron," said Ginny with feigned patients, "but we do have several telephones, one each in the television room and the Masters study and several in the office but they are all downstairs."
The group had left the Grangers room and were moving towards the rear of the house and Ginny said, "Come and see my room."
They went straight to the door in front of them and they were in Ginny's room, Molly had a good look around then they went to the blue child's room next door and Molly had a good look around in there as well.
"Which is your room Harry?" Molly asked.
"Mine is the next one," he said, "then it's a pink child's room and then Hermione's but I am sure that Ron and Luna would sooner see their rooms than these."
So they headed for two centrally situated rooms at the head of the main stairs, from the outside it could be seen that their doors were about thirty feet apart so they entered the first room.
It was horrible, it was bright orange on brighter orange and it had Chudley Cannons posters all over it, Ron said. "This is brilliant, this has just got to be my room."
Not even trying to hide the sarcasm Ginny answered, "Well dear brother, no-one in their right minds would want it, so I guess it must be yours."
They had looked hurriedly in the bathroom then quickly fled, they couldn't stand the awful colours of the bedroom.
As they were leaving Ron's room Hermione was coming up the main stairs and she said, "Harry can we go and get my mum and dad please, you know that I can't bring them on my own?"
"Of course we can darling," he replied. "Will you look after everyone Ginny and we will see you all in a little while."
He gave Ginny a kiss and then left with Hermione.
Harry and Hermione made their way down stairs and across the hall to the Floo, as they started down the stairs Harry asked her, "What do your parents know about this place and about us?"
Hermione's face lit up, "Well I think that my mum has thought that I fancied you since my first Halloween at Hogwarts, I of course have been vehemently denying it for just as many years. However she has been pretty certain ever since the Triwizard Tournament and nothing I have said has made any difference, not that I blame her much because I have been certain since then as well. So has Ginny been certain since then, that is one of the things that has encouraged us to become such good friends, mutually pining for you. And my mum also knows that Ginny fancies you as well, she isn't exactly slow, where do you think that I get it from and she tells my dad what he needs to know, when we have a minute I will tell her everything." Then she turned scarlet, but was smiling broadly and continued, "Well almost everything.
About the house I have just told them that we have all come to stay in your house and that there is a room here especially for them would they like to come and stay." Hermione was very excited and this all came out in one long stream with hardly a pause for breath.
Harry just had time to say, "Well that's alright then, as long as I know." Before Hermione Flooed to her house and he followed her.
As he arrived Mrs Granger saved him from falling and she gave him a hug then said, "Nice to meet you again Harry, you're looking well."
Harry was blushing and answered, "It's nice to meet you again as well Mrs Granger and you Mr Granger," and he shook Mr Granger's hand.
"That sounds awfully formal Harry," said Mr Granger, "why don't you call me Dan and my wife is Emma, I know she would like you to call her that."
"Hermione told us just to bring nightclothes," Emma said, "but I wondered if we should bring something to read?"
Hermione said, "I didn't tell you everything yet mum but there are over fifty-thousand books in Harry's Library, so I am sure that Jiffs the librarian will be able to find you something of interest to read."
Harry was blushing again and said, "Behave yourself Hermione, you're embarrassing me."
Hermione was looking contrite as she came over to Harry but all of a sudden she gave an evil grin and threw her arms around his neck and kissed him on the mouth then said, "I love you Mr Potter, in case you hadn't noticed."
Harry's colour had just passed beetroot, Dan and Emma were laughing and she said, "Hermione leave the poor boy alone he will burn away to nothing."
"He most certainly isn't poor," said Hermione smugly, "or he wouldn't be allowed more than one wife."
Dan said, "I never understood that?"
Hermione answered, "He is allowed one wife for every ten million Galleons and so Harry is allowed both Ginny and me. He could have another ten as well but I don't think he fancies a dozen mother in laws."
"Come on," said Harry taking the key out of his pocket, "enough of this nonsense, let's go to my house."
Dan picked up their bag and Harry held out the key, which they all held then Harry touched it with his wand and they were transported to the Potters Wheel.
"Oooo," said Emma, "that was a lovely ride, much better than the Floo."
"It is rather pleasant," said Harry and he cast the charm allowing Floo access to Dan and Emma.
As Harry was finishing with the Floo charms all the others arrived with Jemma, there were greetings and introductions all round.
Jemma took the Grangers bags up to their room and when she returned she asked, "Do you all want to start touring the ground floor now?"
"I have to go to the Burrow in half an hour," said Molly. "I must call Arthur and see if he is coming home early, he said that he was going to try to take the afternoon off."
"You can call him from here Mrs Weasley, "Jemma said, "then you will know when to go to collect him."
"Actually," said Hermione, "most of us need to go to the Burrow anyway to collect our things and Luna won't your dad be worried about where you are?"
Luna had a slight smile as she answered, "Didn't you know, my dad is in the Transvaal, this time he's hunting galloping spiders and he offered to take Ron and I with him but for some reason Ronniekins didn't want to go." Ron was blushing but if the expression on Luna's face had been any more angelic she would have been wearing a halo.
Hermione gave Ginny a look and they both closed in on Harry who tried to scoot away but they had him cornered, then they put their arms around him and Hermione said, "You know I love you Harry?" and she kissed him.
When Hermione had finished Ginny said, "And you know that I love you as well darling?" then she also kissed him.
Harry squeaked, "Yes." Everybody was chuckling and wondering what was coming next.
"Well," wheedled Hermione, "why don't you be an angel and Floo to the Burrow, then you can come back with the key and we can all have a lovely ride to the Burrow?" and she kissed him again, then with the faintest sigh, they both disappeared.
They were all left dumbfounded but in less than a minute Harry returned with a laughing Hermione and they were holding the key, "We have just come from the Burrow." Hermione said as Harry held out the now expanded key, "He never told anyone that he could make it take him anywhere it had been used before, come on everyone lets go and get our things."
When the happy group arrived at the Burrow they found three elves waiting for them and Jemma said, "We will help you and when any of you have your things ready we will transport them for you to your rooms in Harry's house." Then she followed Harry and the girls up to his room and proceeded to pack all of his belongings, Hermione's mum had followed to see how they would manage what they wanted to do, when Jemma had finished Memo appeared and he together with all of Harry's belongings disappeared.
Jemma followed them up to Ginny's room where she did exactly the same for the girls remarking only that Hermione didn't have many clothes and Hermione told her that most of her belongings were still at her home. Harry promised Hermione that later he would take her and Jemma to her home to bring back all that she wanted to the Potters Wheel, but they should sort out the Burrow first.
The trio and Emma went down to the kitchen and Emma said, "I wish I had had her when I was deciding what to bring, that was remarkable."
"Well you come with us when we go to get Hermione's things from your home," Harry said, then with a smile, "and you can bring everything you want too. Except books it seems that Hermione has banned you from bringing them." Needless to say Hermione slapped him playfully for being cheeky.
A few minutes later Luna appeared with Jemma and they disappeared using the Floo to Luna's home, less than five minutes later Luna reappeared from the Floo and said, "Jemma can work miracles, did she come with your house Harry?"
"Yes she does seem to be able to work miracles and yes she did come with the house." Answered Harry, "So what did she do?"
"Well we went to get my things from home," said Luna, "but when she saw the mess it was in she cleaned and tidied the whole house, well it did look as though a heard of muddy hippogriffs had charged through it, then she made everything I wanted to bring into a neat pile and disappeared with it, so I came back here."
A couple of minutes later there was a pop from outside, Mr Weasley came into the kitchen and said, "Hello everyone, I'm surprised to find you all here."
"We all came to collect our things and you." Harry said, "Oh and Mrs Weasley is upstairs."
Arthur called up the stairs that he was home and Molly called back down that she would only be a minute, true to her word she was only about a minute and Ron was right behind her.
They had all soon departed the Burrow for the entrance of the Potters Wheel where Harry cleared Mr Weasley to use the Floo.
Harry took Emma, Hermione and Jemma to the Grangers house where Hermione proceeded to have practically everything she owned transported from her room there to Harry's house. It seemed that Hermione took after her mother because Emma did the same thing besides which she also wanted to bring a lot of books. However Jemma persuaded her to see what Jiffs could offer her and if there were to be nothing suitable Jemma would come back and bring all her books from home for her.
Ginny was waiting for them when they arrived back and she told them that it was time for lunch, so they went to the family dining room. The trio found that the table had grown from the cosy three-seat affair they had used last time to be capable of quite comfortably accommodating the nine of them sat in carvers.
Lunch was quite a rowdy meal, leastways those partaking of it were. It finished with treacle tart and very thick custard about which all the adults complained but their complaints didn't stop them from having at least two helpings each.
After the meal Harry noticed that Merlin had appeared in a very small picture and was beckoning him to come and talk, so Harry went over to the painting and very quietly Merlin said, "Bring the one with the straw hair to my study, she must talk with us."
Harry said very quietly to Hermione and Ginny that Merlin wanted to talk to Luna and would they show everyone else the other room and if he wasn't back soon to come looking for him. He then went and asked Luna to come with him a minute, that he wanted to show her something, she readily agreed and came with him to Merlin's study.
When they arrived there he said, "Luna I want you to meet my ancient ancestor Myrddin Emrys better known as Merlin."
Luna said to the painting, "I am very pleased to meet you sir," and to Harry she said, "I just knew that you had to be descended from someone like him."
Merlin said, "I am very pleased to meet such a great Mystic as yourself."
Before she could say anything in reply Godric Gryffindor bustled into the painting and said, "Have you spoken to 'Luna y Cyfriniol' yet. Oh sorry my dear my name is Godric Gryffindor, another of Harry's ancestors, you may have heard of me. I am very pleased to meet one as gifted as you."
"I'm not gifted," said a puzzled Luna, "I am quite good at a lot of things but I am not great at anything and what was that funny name you called me?"
"Luna y Cyfriniol, you have heard of Morgan le Fey?" asked Gryffindor. Luna nodded and so he continued, "No such person, the name was invented by some Frenchman, she was Welsh and her name was Morgana and if the Welsh had added anything, as they are want to do, she would have been called Morgana y Cyfriniol, 'y Cyfriniol' 'the Mystic', you see?"
Luna and Harry had started sitting down in the middle of this conversation when all the others came in and Ron said, "Who's is Luna talking to?"
"That's Merlin with the beard and the other one is Godric Gryffindor." Ginny said quietly.
"I am pleased to meet you Warrior Knight," Gryffindor said, "you are a direct line descendent of King Arthur and I greet you." Ron wasn't the only one who was dumbstruck and the conversation that followed didn't help any of them a great deal.
"Why didn't you tell me that I am a direct line descendent of King Arthur?" Ginny said sounding quite aggravated.
"Because my dear you are destined to be Magi," said Merlin patiently, "and that is more than enough destiny for one so young to bear. To be told that Guinevere from who your name Ginevra is derived, was in fact your many times removed great grandmother is not really going to help you, although you are just as beautiful."
"So I am a Mystic," said Luna, "so why don't I ever know what is going to happen?"
Merlin good-naturedly replied, "Because Luna you need to be trained and the best place for that to happen is here. So Harry can you ask the Headmaster if Luna can come here for lessons during the next school year?"
"Of course I can," said Harry, "I will ask him as soon as I see him, but who will teach her?"
"You can not teach a Mystic. A Mystic just is. You can only guide them." Merlin said, "All the necessary books are in the library and I will work out with Jiffs the order in which 'y Cyfriniol' should read them.
Harry, in the library you must find a book called 'Portals and Spatial Displacement' then you must create a room of requirements with an entrance possibly in here then those who know will be able to move freely between here and Hogwarts. Jiffs will not be able to find the book for you, she in common with all here besides you, can not read the titles of any of the books in that section. We hope that soon some will join you in your ability but I will tell them now that there will likely be titles they will not be able to read, the titles that will be open to them are linked directly to their power and it is not open to debate." Merlin was looking directly at Hermione when he made the last pronouncement.
"We are getting far too serious," said Gryffindor, "we have some Muggles here, come and tell me about yourselves."
"Good afternoon to you sir," said Mr Granger, "my name is Dan Granger and this is my wife Emma, we are Hermione's parents and by profession we are dentists. Being honest most of what you have been talking about is quite beyond my understanding, but I see that everyone holds you in very high regard, we have heard the name Merlin of course but modern Muggles believe him to be a myth."
"Emma," said Merlin, "I believe you have a penchant for reading?" Emma nodded and Merlin continued, "I have instructed Jiffs the librarian to give you some books to read. When you read them you will far better understand the world your daughter and indeed you will live in if you remain here, as we hope that you will. This group of young people are destined for great things and to have caring parents behind them will help greatly. Now I believe you should all go and do whatever you were going to do before you became diverted in here."
With that they all left Merlin's study and Harry took Emma and Luna to the Library, Jiffs gave Emma and Luna a book each but Harry went down to the far end of the room and he was followed by Hermione and Ginny.
"I'm glad you have come angels," he said when they reached the far end book racks, "can you point out to me the shelves that are filled by books with titles you can not read?"
They found that all the books at the far end of the room had normally unreadable titles and Hermione asked, "Am I allowed to ask what these books are all about?"
"Of course you are darling, these are the books of the Magi and this is the first one you must read," he took 'Principals and Practices of the Magi' out of his pocket and put it at the end of the shelf for her. "I seem to be able to read the titles of all of the books and I have finished reading 'Principals and Practices of the Magi' so I must find the copy of 'Portals and Spatial Displacement'. Ah here it is." He took out a very old, fairly large volume.
Ginny asked, "What did Merlin mean by 'make a room of requirements'? You can't just make a room of requirements can you?"
"If Merlin says that I can, I suppose that I can," Harry said doubtfully, "but I know that Dumbledore can't make one so I guess that it is just a matter of power. The room exists in an alternate dimension that is why it can be anything we desire, so I suppose that we can make a door and tap into it from anywhere and then we could exit anywhere there is a doorway, provided we know that the doorway is there and we tell the room what we want to do."
Hermione was looking puzzled and asked, "How do you know all that?"
"You sound puzzled and well you might be, so am I? I don't know where the knowledge comes from," he answered, "I just seem to know it. This is difficult but there seems to be this great bunch of stuff and I don't know that I know it until I want it and then it's just there, in my head. I suppose that it will be the same for you two when you change, but it must save me having to read and learn hundreds of books so I can move straight on to the good stuff. Come on, I will just take this book to the Masters Study and we will go and find the others maybe we can have some fun."
The trio found the others in the kitchen having a debate and Harry said, "Just let me put this book in my study and we will go into the lounge and talk."
Harry went into his study and Ron tried to follow him, "Hey I can't get through this doorway!"
"Constant Vigilance!" said Ginny, "Nobody can enter the Master study unless they are invited. Harry even had to give special permission to the house elves so they could get in to clean it."
"You can all come in if you want to," said Harry, "although some of it you may find distressing."
The girls didn't bother but all of the others went into the study, Emma and Dan took a quick look but then left all the others followed shortly except Luna who said to Harry, "I would like to read your family tree sometime please Harry?"
He agreed that it would be ok later and they both left the study and then they all went into the Family lounge.
It seemed that the debate had been about what they should do, as in the main they all wanted to do different things, so Hermione said, "There is no reason why we all have to do the same thing, it will be a big surprise to all of you I know but I want to read, so what do you all want to do?"
Luna, Dan, Emma and Harry also wanted to read, Ginny said that she wanted to watch another film and when she had described to her family what a video film was Molly, Arthur and Ron decided to join her and also watch a film. Hermione went with them to choose some films for the Weasleys to watch then she followed the other four into Merlin's lounge, with Harry who had just collected his book from the Masters study.
When the pair entered Merlin's study Luna was curled up in a big chair reading and Emma was with Dan as he was asking Merlin what he should read and Merlin said, "Ah here's the man of the moment, you should both read the book that Emma has so Harry can you duplicate that book please."
Harry took the book from Emma and duplicated it then he said, "The copy will only last two days because the original book is copyright, but other wise they are identical."
Dan and Emma sat in two other chairs to read their book's, Hermione asked Merlin what she should read and he sent her into Jiffs and she was back in two minutes with a huge tome. She sat at the other end of the sofa that Harry was sat reading on, they both had their legs up and they were intertwined, Emma thought that they looked extremely content.
After about half an hour Harry suddenly burst out laughing and Hermione asked him what was so funny and he told her that he had tried to skip some pages, to get to the bit about creating the room and the writing had changed into a sign and it currently said, 'Stop being lazy, now go back and read it all as you know you are supposed to'.
Everybody was giggling at Harry's reprimand and Emma asked, "Does that mean we will all get told off if we skip some pages?"
"No mum," Hermione answered, "it is just that Harry is reading a very magically powerful book, so you don't have to worry."
All was quiet for about an hour and a half then Harry stood and went over to the fire and cast some very complex sounding spells. When he finished he walked up and down in front of the fire, then he smiled and put his hand out to Hermione and said, "Would you like to come?"
She went over to him and they disappeared through the fire, ten minutes later they reappeared accompanied by a very happy looking Headmaster.
Professor Dumbledore greeted everybody and went over to the portrait of Merlin and started carrying on a very quiet conversation with him.
When Professor Dumbledore had finished talking to Merlin he went over and told Luna that on her next years timetable there would be some periods marked Special Studies, this would be the same for Harry, Ginny and Hermione as well. These would be the periods they would be expected to be studying here and he added that he would come as often as he could.
After the Headmaster had left Harry taught Luna and Hermione how to make the room of requirements to get themselves between Hogwarts and the Potters Wheel.
Hermione promised that she would teach Ginny how to make the portal and Luna asked if she should teach Ron and Harry said to her, "You can try if you want to, but this is a very secure connection and because he has no real need to make it at the moment he may not be able to, so knowing Ron this would be likely to upset him."
Suria appeared and told them that it was time for Dinner
The five of them made their way to the dining room and they met the others coming out from watching films, they were all complaining that they had been in the middle of a film called 'The Magnificent Seven' and Ron complained that they had just been getting to the best bit.
"Oh so what bit were you watching?" Hermione asked with needles in her voice.
"When do you think we will get our Hogwarts letters?" Harry asked loudly looking at Ginny.
"It might well be another week yet," she answered.
"No surely it must be any day now." Hermione said, she now had a note of pleading in her voice, Ron's comment about the film was forgotten and a general discussion ensued regarding Hogwarts letters.
The food had been served and during the discussion Ginny whispered to Harry, "Well done you headed off a big argument there," and they continued eating.
The conversation was lively as they all ate an excellent dinner and after it they resumed their positions with four of them watching films and five returning to Merlin's study.
Before going into the study Harry asked Luna to come with him and he took her up to her room and showed her that there was a voice-activated secret door in her bathroom, it led of course into Ron's room. He also told her that either she or Ron saying their names could activate the doors and it was entirely up to her if she told Ron about them. Luna kissed Harry on the cheek and thanked him then they went back down to Merlin's study.
When they had all sat and made themselves comfortable Harry said, "Hermione why were you trying to pick a fight with Ron before dinner?"
"Well he says such silly things sometimes, how does he know if they were getting to the best bit he hasn't seen the film before?" she answered.
"Nearly everybody says things like that if you drag them away from a video they are enjoying." Harry cast a security bubble around them and continued, "Anyway you are going to become extremely powerful in the next few days and you have to learn to become very careful, you will probably be able to kill with a thought, the power is very nice but it comes at a price as it is also very dangerous." He kissed her and removed the security bubble and finished, "And they were getting to the best bit."
"I know, I'm sorry." Then she kissed him.
Several hours later the film watchers came in and said that had thoroughly enjoyed their evening now they were all going to bed and the five who were reading decided that they should as well, so they all went to bed.
When Harry went into his room he first had a look in his wardrobe, even with all his things in it, it still looked vast and empty so he found himself a pair of sleeping shorts and went across to his bathroom to wash, clean his teeth and get ready for bed.
He wandered to his bed and there were two girls in it and Ginny who was closest to him said, "We have decided that yours is the middle side." So he climbed slowly across her and settled himself in the middle where he was accosted by a pair of girls demanding multitudinous kisses and other more exotic nighttime activities, prior to them all falling contentedly asleep.
