I own nothing, J K Rowling IS Harry Potter. All my 'ideas' are basically ripped from stuff I enjoy; Harry Potter (duh!), Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, Dragonball, The Matrix, The Lion King, 24, and anything else that even remotely looks far too creative for me to just make up! Don't say I didn't warn you alright!

I wish someone would just 'give' me a supercar! So what's going to happen to Harry? Read the final chapter of Harry Potter and the Dormant Power to find out! Yes, this is the last chapter. I hope you all enjoyed reading my story as much as I did while writing it. There will be an epilogue, and it'll be mostly about what I hope to cover in my sequel for those interested.

Chapter 31 – One More Surprise

Everyone was packing up their things before heading down for the closing feast. Harry hadn't heard back from Remus about not going back to the Dursley's, so he assumed that he would be spending his summer at Privet Drive once again. He, Ron and Hermione made their way towards the Great Hall for the final time as sixth years.

As they entered the Hall, they noticed that like in fourth year, it was decorated in black banners. McGonagall said the usual things one expected in the closing speech, but Harry wasn't really paying attention. He was still finding it hard to acknowledge that he wouldn't see the half-moon glasses of Albus Dumbledore ever grace the halls of Hogwarts again.

Ginny dragged him out of his stupor when she piled some food on his plate. Harry smiled at her, before trying to eat something to keep down his feeling of dread. The feast finished, and Harry quickly made his way back to the dorm to finish packing. He was ready to shrink his things when he remembered about the mirror he'd given to Peter. Harry apparated to where Peter's empty cell was, and lifted the bricks up but found that the mirror was gone.

"Looking for this?"

He whirled around and came face-to-face with Remus. Harry felt his face flush with embarrassment before nodding. Remus walked over to him and looked Harry in the eye.

"You do understand that I'm not mad with you for using this like you did."

Harry was a little surprised. "You…you aren't? Oh, I get it. You're really annoyed at me instead, aren't you?"

Remus smiled before answering "no, Harry, I'm not annoyed either. Disappointed yes, but not too disappointed. Not many people would have given Peter a chance to redeem himself. You allowed him to repay the debt he owed you, which he did."

Harry looked up into Remus' eyes, "but you're the last one left. You must hate me for getting Peter killed."

"I don't hold you responsible, Harry. You managed to get the Peter I knew as a friend to come back in the end. Besides, I was torturing him for half the year, so I can't really be that angry at you."

Harry nodded then asked the next question on his mind, "so what's being done about me? Where am I going to be staying?"

"You'll find out once you get off the train. We've taken some precautions, so don't worry about it. In fact, I'd like to hope you might enjoy your summer this time."

Remus smiled, and Harry returned it.

"You know something? I reckon you must've been the most dangerous of the four Marauders."

Remus looked highly confused. "Why do you say that?"

Harry grinned maliciously before replying "you answered my question, yet didn't give me any useful information. All in all, you're one cunning wolf boy!"

Remus growled and made a lunge for Harry, who laughed before apparating back to his dorm, leaving Remus sprawled on the ground after grabbing nothing but air.

The train ride back to Kings Cross had been a somewhat sombre affair. Harry didn't want to talk to anyone, and the others let him have his space. In fact, as the train pulled into the station, Harry realised that it was the first time since his third year that Malfoy hadn't bothered them on the train. He wasn't surprised to see Kingsley, Tonks (this time with deep blue coloured hair) and Mad-Eye Moody waiting for him when he got off.

"I guess you guys are here to talk to the Dursley's again then?"

"No, they're not actually" Remus answered as he got off the train behind him.

"We're here to take you to your new summer house" Tonks said.

"What about the Dursley's? Won't they be in danger?"

Mad-Eye raised his eyebrows at Harry before replying in his gruff voice, "I thought you didn't care about them, Potter."

Harry shrugged "I know they're not the nicest people going around…"

"That's the understatement of the century! Don't you remember the bars they put up on your windows in second year?" Ron interrupted.

"Of course I remember. I'm just saying that despite all that, they ARE the only family I have. I don't want to see them hurt."

"Fine, we'll pick them up later then Potter" Mad-Eye replied.

Ron, Ginny and Hermione were soon engulfed by their parents. After a quick goodbye and promises of seeing him soon, Harry was left with the group of the four adults. Remus then grabbed Harry and the two of them apparated.

When Harry looked around to get his bearings, he realised they were at Godric's Hollow.

"What did you bring me here for? I don't really feel like visiting Sirius or my parents right at this moment…"

"I didn't bring you here for that, Harry. See that house over there?"

Harry looked at where Remus was pointing. He saw the same house that was on the property that Remus had said belonged to his parents. There were several trees at the front of the property that now made seeing the house quite difficult.

"Yeah, what about it? You told me just before Sirius' funeral that it was where my parents used to live."

Remus smiled before answering, "correct. That house has been fifteen years in the making."

Harry looked confused, before it clicked.

"You mean you built that place!"

"I did. Didn't you ever wonder why I hardly ever buy anything new?"

"Of course I wondered, but I just thought it was because you could never find a job. I believe you said something along the lines of it being one of the hazards of being a werewolf."

"That's partly true. I couldn't find a job in the wizarding world, but I was able to pick up some part time muggle jobs to keep me going. I spent most of my money building this place. Obviously once Sirius had been freed, he was able to help enormously with the funding."

"So this is the new…er, place then?" Harry inquired, careful to not say 'headquarters'.

Remus nodded, "would you like to see the inside?"

"Sure I would. Why didn't you tell me about this place before?"

"It wasn't finished until this February, at least not the interior."

Harry nodded before Remus beckoned him indoors. Harry gasped. The inside was incredible.

To their right was a set of enormous white marble doors, which reached up to the top of the twenty foot high ceiling. The ceiling itself was a deep rich mahogany timber, matching well with the doors, and had carvings around the edges. The walls were also deep mahogany, decorated with assorted paintings, mostly muggle in origin, but some from different magical cultures.

The floor, like the ceiling and walls, were timber, but not as rich in colour. The living room had little furniture, only the occasional table with some strategically placed lamps littered throughout. The fireplace located on the back wall was the biggest Harry had seen, eight feet high and ten feet across. The mantelpiece was made of deep ebony, decorated in ivory trimmings. These were delicately carved to make the bone colour stand out against the black.

Above the fireplace was a large empty picture frame. To the left of the fireplace was a vast staircase of black onyx, which filled the centre of the room and grew narrower towards the top. It then split in two directions, each leading to a balcony on either side of the room.

On the ground floor, doors could be seen leading off from the main hall, obviously leading to some more corridors. The whole area was illuminated by several glowing crystals floating near the ceiling. Although they didn't seem to be giving off a very bright light, what they did emit spread around the hall, giving it an ethereal look.

Harry was speechless. He'd never seen anything like it. This place felt more magical than Hogwarts itself.

"You sure this place only took fifteen years to build? You didn't mean fifty, did you?"

Remus smiled at the young wizard in front of him.

"I'm sure. There's only two levels, and we're currently on the ground floor. This place has twelve bedrooms, four bathrooms, two libraries, and three studies. It also has numerous other rooms which are currently empty. I am kind of hoping to turn one of them into a training room."

Harry looked around in awe before he remembered something Remus had told him before they left on the train.

"Whose place is it then? You said you built it, but you also mentioned needing permission to use it."

Remus handed Harry a note for him to read.

The optional location of the Order of the Phoenix is located at MM.

"That's Sirius' writing isn't it? Was this place his then? And what's MM?"

"Yes and no, Harry. It is Sirius' writing, but it's not his house. You'll find out soon enough what MM is. I was going to make Sirius secret keeper for this place. However, I never got the chance. I'd like you to be the new secret keeper for it."

Harry was taken aback, "why me?"

"Because who expects a student to be named secret keeper for a top secret organisation?" Remus replied.

Remus then began to walk back outside, so Harry followed him, still bewildered with everything that had just happened.

"The charms are all in place, you just need to accept the role. You studied the Fidelius charm this year, correct?"

Harry nodded. He knew the role of the secret keeper; they were the only person who knew the exact location of the object being hidden, and only they could divulge that information to others. The whole charm consisted of two spells; the one around the object being obscured, 'Fildelio Concealius', and the secret keeper. The person who casts the Fidelius charm must also place the spell on the secret keeper. The incantation for that part of the charm was 'Fidelio Privitus'.

"Then you understand what I need to do to you."

"Wait a second, you cast the charm? That's impressive, Remus. Professor Flitwick told us how difficult it is to get it right."

Remus blushed slightly at the compliment.

"Thank you, Harry. Will you let me cast the final part on you?"

Harry nodded and he saw Remus look around to make sure no one else was watching before saying "Fidelio Privitus."

Harry then saw both the house and himself glow a soft blue colour before the glow vanished. Remus then gave Harry a piece of parchment to write the address of the house on.

"Nice work, Remus, it worked perfectly" a gruff voice behind them said.

Harry turned and saw Mad-Eye Moody, with Kingsley, Tonks, and three very dishevelled Dursley's.

"Wh…what just happened? Where'd that house go?" Dudley squeaked out.

Harry realised that since the charm had been completed, he was the only one who could actually see the house. Only after he wrote down the instructions on the piece of parchment Remus gave him, could others be able to see it. And that was only once they'd actually read Harry's note.

"Magic, Dudley, that's what happened. So whose permission do you need to get to use this place then, Remus?"

Remus smiled somewhat sheepishly at Harry before answering "ah…yours actually. Welcome Harry, to Marauder's Mansion."

Harry might have seen or heard the Dursley's faint, if he hadn't done exactly that.
