An hour later, They were sitting, reading some of Harry's Defense books.
"Are you two ready to go?" a voice asked from the corner.
"Remus!" both exclaimed in unison. They got up and both gave him a big hug.
"Are you two all packed and ready?"
"Just one more thing. Pack!" Harry said and several books and other various things flew into two distinctly separate trunks. So all-in-all they had six different trunks
"That's quite a spell for your age…I can't even do it properly."
"Well we all know that Harry isn't just any wizard."
"Yes I believe you are right but I think you know that more than some others. I know that you two are now an item and I think it was a little long in the making. I have always seen that mutual respect and admiration for each other in your eyes. Now you just show it openly."
While Remus was speaking they unconsciously locked hands.
An hour later they had left for Grimmauld Place and had set out to do different things with the help of the two ever-faithful house elves, Dobby and Winky. Harry had them fixing up the library and adding the books he had received the previous night.
Hermione was in the Kitchen making some dinner because they had been working all day and everyone was bound to be HUNGRY.
Harry himself took on the most grueling task of all: going through the several trunks that had been left in his room. They belonged to the three people that had the biggest impact on his life: his mum and dad and their best friend and his godfather Sirius.
Taking it slowly, he opened his dad's trunk first. What greeted him totally shocked the hell out of him. There was very little in it at all!
What was in it was worth it though. Extra Invisibility cloaks that James supposedly had inherited from his father, Emeril, deeds to various fortunes and properties, very few books, and stacked on the side were several marble and gold boxes with a lock on each.
Harry picked one up and examined it. On the top was what he assumed was his family's crest, A white Lion with two golden wands flanking it with a blood red rose as the backdrop.
Harry decided that he would go through the boxes later. At the bottom was a letter from his parents:
Harry,
If you are reading this than we are no longer among you. We regret not being able to let you grow up with loving parents who love you and only hope you turn out the best you can.
We can only watch from above as you go through hardships and trials that we have no clue about. If you do not know this, you are a marked boy Harry. Ask Dumbledore about the prophecy, he will tell you.
Regardless of what you may face, we know that you will be up to the challenge because you had two very able-bodied parents that performed to the best of their ability and had no trouble in school or in real life. Hogwarts is the safest place in the world to learn under the tutelage of the best teaching staff in the world. Make sure to ask all the questions if you have no answers, they will be more than happy to help you.
Make sure to read all that you can to bone up, make sure that you are intelligent and ready for anything. Most of all though Harry, stay true to yourself, be the best that you can be. Voldemort has a history of spreading discord by taking in those who have lost their self esteem.
In love and Parenthood,
James and Lily Potter
By this time Harry had started to cry. He wanted them back so much but there wasn't a way to bring them back, was there? He would read for it later. He needed to continue looking through the trunks.
He then moved on to his mother's trunk When he opened it all he found was books. Thousands of miniaturized books, that was all that was in the trunk whatsoever.
'I have a feeling that my mum and Hermione would have gotten along well' he thought He would have to have Dobby put them in the Library later under the name Lily, so his mother would always have a place in this house.
Next he moved on to what could possibly be the hardest of them all, for he had known Sirius, though only for a short time.
He slowly lifted the lid and looked inside. Nothing was truly extraordinary, a few books, a couple necklaces a small dagger that had always been around his godfather's waist, you know, just in case. Then at the bottom of the trunk, Harry spotted it. The mate to the mirror Sirius had gotten him before he went back to Hogwarts during Christmas.
This made him have to get away for a minute. He walked to the window and gazed out of it, the street seemed innocent enough, though he knew there was someone there, watching the house. He reached for his wand "Revealus" he muttered quietly pointing out of the window. Slowly he brought the tip of his wand up to his face and a glowing orb appeared atop it. In it was the face of Mad-eye Moody and next to him was Tonks.
"Always keeping a tab on me even when the house can't be seen by outsiders." he said to no one in particular.
He went back to the task at hand. This time he moved everything out of the way and sat on the floor in front of the trunks of inventions. He opened both and grabbed all of the blueprints and shut them again. Slowly he began to look through them, finding multiple gags but also a plethora of useful things, such as: Magical bombs, once you specify a spell and throw it, it will explode out in all directions throwing the spell into the surrounding area.
'That will definitely come in handy' he thought as he set that one aside.
An hour later, only three inventions had been set aside for future usefulness: the magical bombs, the Marauder's map and a necklace that could be linked to different people wearing the same necklace.
'It would definitely cut down on communication errors.' he thought, 'that much was sure.' He got up off of the floor and replaced the inventions that would not be used, placing the ones that would be, on his dresser.
He dusted himself off and made his way downstairs to see his lovely girlfriend, Hermione and eat some dinner.
