Chapter 3: The Mansion

"Can I not go to Diagon Alley? I am mature enough to stay at home! If you all apparated there and back without me, we would reach the Mansion faster because you won't need to use the long way!"

After many arguments, Ginny finally won. "Yes!" She grinned sheepishly. No one can beat me better than in arguments.

After taking out about 120 000 Galleons from Gringotts Bank, they apparated back to the Burrow.

Soon, they headed out for The Mansion, the gold coins clinking happily in a sack.

"Harry dear, why don't you let Arthur carry the sack. It isn't safe you know, your muggle rubbers(robbers) or something like that might rub (rob) you."

After much persisting, Harry finally agreed to let Mr Weasley carry the sack.

Harry was surprised. He was actually sitting in a Mercedes (Enlarged in the inside of course, by Mr Weasley.).

A MERCEDES!

Harry thought. Wow. Did Mr Weasley strike rich? This car is super expensive.

"Got it from the Ministry." Mr Weasley said, smiling, as though he read Harry's mind. "Not bad huh? It came with the promotion."

His smile widened.

Wow. Mr Weasley certainly is very proud. Can't blame him. He surely loves this car. Harry said, "Wow! Nice car."

"Thank you." Mr Weasley said, trying to keep his excitement under control.

lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

SOON….

"Whoa."

"Spectacular."

"Incredible."

"Never seen before"

"Wow"

"Fantastic."

Fred and George let out a low whistle. "Buy it." They said together.

As Mrs Weasley, Mr Weasley, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, Hermione and Harry stared up at the mansion, they didn't think it was a mansion anymore.

It looked like a king's palace which has been upgraded every second.

It had about 10 towers, three huge building, one main building, even huger than the three huge buildings added together, and 5 big buildings all together on that super huge, gigantic, never seen before, fantastic, incredible, huge piece of land.

After all these years, Harry had wondered why he had never spotted the mansion before.

"Is this the only vacant house near your house?" Harry said weakly. "I think I might get lost in there."

Ron turned to Harry. "This house is spectacular, or should I say, Palace? But, this house is the only vacant house." Ron said weakly too.

But his voice grew stronger. "But I could drive out my neighbour so you can live there."

Everybody laughed, well not everyone. Mrs Weasley glared at Ron for a moment but joined in the laughter after that.

"Well, shall we? Who do I give the money to?"

"Ummm…" Ron scratched his chin. "Let's go look around."

They wandered around, their eyes nearly popping out at how big the "Palace" was.

Finally, they saw a suit of armour.

"Are you here to buy the house or to look around?" The armour said in a very stiff voice.

"Err…" Harry said nervously. "Buy it."

Harry was sure the armour almost snorted.

"Do you even know how much it is?"

"Err… Yes… About a hundred thousand galleons."

"Good thing you know, sonny, you might think this charm is worth about 10 Galleons the age you are."

"I-am-not-that-dumb-you-know." Harry said through gritted teeth.

"Well, you better have the money or go away."

Harry motioned Mr Weasley to show the sack of gold coins to the suit of armour.

"Here."

Once the armour saw the gold, he almost jumped two feet off the ground.

"Merlin. You are rich."

"Err…" Harry stammered, unsure of what to say.

"What is your name?" The armour interrupted."

"Harry Potter."

"Merlin. Don't tell me anything else. There is a limited amount of surprises I can take per day. Come this way, we are going to see the owner." The armour said.

He brought them up the stairs, creaking with every step.

He opened this humongous door, about five times the height of Harry.

"Master, Harry Potter is here to buy this house." The armour said.

"Very well, Groylegar. Please stand to the side."

Harry gasped.

Ron choked on his sandwich.

Ginny and Hermione let out a small squeal of shock.

Fred and George just stood there with their mouth hanging open.

Mrs Weasley just stared at the owner.

But, Mr Weasley stammered, "D…Dum…Dumbledore?"

Dumbledore was sitting behind a table on a tall-back chair. His blue and yellow robes stunningly bright. He looked at them through his half-moon spectacles.

"Hello Molly, Arthur, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, Hermione and Harry. Am I really that frightening? What brings you here today?"

"No… its just that… that…. Ummm… we didn't expect to…. Err…. See you here."

Dumbledore chuckled.

"Well, that figures. You must be wondering what on earth I am doing in this mansion." Dumbledore chuckled again. "This is the house my ancestors had once lived in. As I will be staying in Hogwarts at all times starting from this year, I have found the mansion useless if it is not used. Therefore, I am selling it away. If you want this house, go ahead and take it. It is yours. I would be extremely glad it would land in good hands."

Harry said, "But… sir. I want to buy this house. Here is the 100 thousand galleons."

Dumbledore smiled.

"Oh no… Harry dear boy, as I said, I would be glad to give it away, free, to you all. Those hundred thousand galleons is that to assure me the mansion will land in good hands. But, I already know it will, so please take the house. Take it, as a gift from me." He pulled out a piece of parchment. He tapped it and Harry's name appeared on it. Here was what was written on it:

Declaration

I, Harry James Potter, vow to take this mansion and shall not do any harm to it but only to treat it well. I will never sell this mansion to any other people except close friends, relatives, or my own future generations.

I will not use it to do evil things. I shall not sell away any antiques that had once belonged to the ancestors of Albus Dumbledore or Albus Dumbledore himself. Everything owned by Albus Dumbledore or his descendents which is in the Albus Family Mansion shall be now owned by I, Harry James Potter.

After this letter has been signed by both Albus Dumbledore and I, Harry James Potter, it will be torned it half, but will have the same information except the signatures until the parchment is put together, it will look like I haven't signed it. I, Harry James Potter shall keep Albus Dumbledore's Signature and Albus Dumbledore shall keep I, Harry James Potter's signature.

Also, after both Albus Dumbledore and I, Harry James Potter have signed this letter and it is torn in half, the half with Albus Dumbledore's signature will be sealed inside I, Harry James Potter's body and shall only be taken out by a spell cast and only known by Albus Dumbledore or his descendents. This applies to the other half with My, Harry James Potter's signature.

After signed by both Albus Dumbledore and I, Harry James Potter, the mansion of the Albus family shall be declared as the mansion of the Potter family.

Signature of Harry James Potter Signature of Albus Dumbledore

Harry read through the declaration form, glanced up at Dumbledore, who was smiling warmly, then bent down and signed his name.

He passed the piece of parchment to Dumbledore and he too, glanced up at Harry, then signed his name.

A blinding green light burst just the instant when Dumbledore signed his name.

Mr Weasley, Mrs Weasley, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny and Hermione used their hands to cover their eyes, looking at what was happening between their fingers. But, Harry and Dumbledore were standing up, staring at the piece of parchment as though they were seeing no light at all.

Suddenly, the Declaration form tore in half, and the half with Dumbledore's signature flew in front of Harry and the other half with Harry's signature flew in front of Dumbledore.

With another blinding flash of light, this time blue, the two pieces of parchment just seemed to disappear into each other's body.

As soon as it came, the light disappeared. Mr Weasley, Mrs Weasley, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny and Hermione slowly put down their hands, worried that another blinding flash of light would come again. But none did. So, they rushed to Harry.

"Harry dear, are you okay?" Mrs Weasley asked worriedly.

"Yeah." Was his reply.

Mrs Weasley was lifting up his fingers one by one, then his hand, then checked his face.

She let out a breath of relief. "Yup. Harry is okay."

Dumbledore put on a playful frown.

"Of course, Molly, would I hurt him?"

Everyone laughed and Mrs Weasley face turned bright crimson.

"Well…" She said. "We better get Harry's stuff over since he is--"

"Done that, Molly. If you please, please stand in one row.

Everyone looked confused but did that anyway. They could trust Dumbledore.

Harry the first one in the row. His stomach lurched. What was Dumbledore going to do?

"Don't worry. I am not going to harm you." Dumbledore said, as though reading Harry's mind.

Then Harry thought. Oh gosh. Forgot. Dumbledore can read minds.

Dumbledore smiled at Harry. "Yes, I can." Everyone except Harry was puzzled at why Dumbledore suddenly replied to no one. A sweat drop trickled down Harry's face but he kept quiet.

Dumbledore walked until he was in front of Harry. "Look into my eyes, Harry." Harry did so and Dumbledore stared at him.

Suddenly, Harry felt as though a wave passed him. He jolted a bit but he didn't fall down.

"Sir, what was that for?" Harry asked curiously.

"That," Dumbledore looked at Harry with his warm smile. "Is the power I have passed down to you to show you where to go…" He gestured his hand around him. "As you can see that this mansion is very big."

Harry understood. He chuckled.

"That could be extremely useful."

Everyone else laughed.

"Well," Dumbledore said. "Harry, please pass it on to the others."

"But we are not living here!" Mrs Weasley said shockingly.

"I think you are. Am I right Harry?"

Harry nodded with a silly grin on his face.

Ginny said, "REALLY? THAT WOULD BE SO COOL!" with a burst of excitement on her face.

Mrs Weasley just opened her mouth to argue when she spotted Dumbledore's playful frown.

"Uh...ok."

"WONDERFUL!" Harry exclaimed.

Harry passed the "map" to them, and he especially stared into Ginny's eyes.

After that, "Well, we better get out stuff over." Mrs Weasley said.

"Done that, Molly. I knew Harry would definitely invite you to live here."

"Oh." She replied, feeling her face turn bright crimson again.

Dumbledore said, "Well, all of you should get familiar with the staff and rooms. In case you didn't know…" He pointed at Groylegar, the armour. "Harry, that is your personal servant. And there are more suits or armour. They shall be personal servants of the rest too."

Groylegar bowed lowly at Harry, Making loud creaking noises.

"Awesome."

Harry whispered to Dumbledore, "Is it possible to oil Groylegar up? He's been creaking rather noisily. And can gargoyles snort?"

Dumbledore smiled and whispered back "Didn't have much time to do that. But you can oil him. Yes, I think they can snort. He snorted after I came out of the bathroom." Harry grinned "And by the way, do you mind if I stay for the rest of the summer?"

It was a rather awkward question. But Dumbledore was the best Headmaster Harry had ever known.

"Sure!" He replied without question.

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

"GORGEOUS!" Ginny squealed.

She walked into her room, in which was pretty pink.

The first room, was the living room and touched up with Muggle stuff.

It had a big 200 inch LCD TV, DVD players, Xbox, Playstation and other stuff.

Plushed up with at least 5 comfortable sofas, it was a great room, but no match for the others.

She had a HUGE master bed, almost about twice the size of a King-size bed, touched up with four fluffy pillows, and a silk comforter.

It had flowing gracefully, translucent curtains around it.

The floor was carpeted with pink fur mat, specially made, not to harm animals.

"EEEEK!"

Ginny squealed again. There was a big dressing table, all touched up with make- up and stuff. There was also a big table, with very famous witch or wizard singer's CDs, many books (which surely would interest Hermione) written by the most intelligent in the wizarding world.

There was also a toilet, a pretty huge one in fact. The sink and toilet was made of gold. There was also a shower and a gold plated bath tub.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Ginny screamed.

She was so shocked she almost fainted.

She just happened to see a button. She pressed it and guess what?

She found a walk-in-wardrobe, four times the size of her bed.

She found diamond tiaras, pearl tiaras (She had no idea why), dozens of diamond or pearl jewellery, tons of Levi's jeans and other branded jeans, tons of branded shirts, crop-sleeves and others. She also found beautiful dress robes, skirts and last of all, she opened the last wardrobe. She saw a at least two dozen new school robes. Her own clothes, were kept above the school robes. She looked at her clothes to the others, finally realizing that her clothes were nothing to the others. She took some out and threw it up and fell down on her bed, followed by the clothes.

WOW. Ginny thought. This is super awesome!"

Further in, she opened a door, a personal kitchen!

Another door, she found another bedroom, this time only a bit smaller.

Another door, a personal library. Wait till Mione sees this!

Another door, a study area, filled with internet access computers, wireless laptops, photocopiers, printers, anything a Muggle can think of.

Ginny felt so elated, thinking she never felt this elated before.

She walked out of her "Apartment" which seems to be, and heard the other people screaming. It occurred to her that, the others were elated with their things too.

With a terribly huge grin on her face, she walked over to Hermione's "apartment", which was just next door.

Hermione also had a pretty huge grin on her face too. "DID YOU SEE WHAT WAS INSIDE? A PERSONAL LIBRARY AT LEAST TWICE THE SIZE OF MY HOUSE AT HOME!" Hermione screamed.

"TOTALLY!" Ginny squealed back. They jumped with joy, and then ran to see what the boy's expression was.

Naturally, their expressions were all the same. All screaming, "Did you see that?", "ITS AWESOME!"

Soon, it was time to sleep.

Ron went over to Harry's room and sat on his bed.

"Harry? Can we discuss something?"

"Sure." Harry replied.

"I mean like… like you know… boy stuff." Ron said nervously.

Harry sat up straight.

"Ok…"

"Harry, I can tell you still like Ginny."

"How do you know? I mean ummm…"

"It's ok Harry. I saw how you stared at her while passing the "map" to her."

"Well, yeah. I still like her. But we can't be together. You know… Voldermort will hurt the ones I love."

Ron didn't twinge at Voldermort's name. He had gotten used to it.

"But Harry, you can protect. I mean like… you two are meant to be together."

"I guess that's right!" Harry sat up even straighter. "THAT'S RIGHT!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. "But… I can't just go to her and say, "Hey, I just realised that I could protect you. We can be girlfriend and boyfriend again."."

"That's true too." Ron replied. He pondered for a moment, then said with an evil grin, "But I can help you… If you help me."

"Really? Wait… help you with your romance life? I can help you get together with Hermione… if you help me." Harry said.

Ron stuttered, "HEY! How did you know… I mean like…"

Ron's face turned very red.

"C'mon. I have known this for ages. I think everyone knows except Hermione. And we are keeping it a secret. Don't worry. Well, she might like you too." Harry said, hinting at the last part.

"OH MY GOSH! Fred and George know about it too!" He slapped himself. "Those two trouble makers." He muttered. "And there is no way Hermione could like me."

"You never know. So deal?" Harry asked.

The two boys grinned sheepishly at each other and said, "DEAL!"

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

MEANWHILE, THE GIRLS ARE HAVING THE SAME CONVERSATION…

"I know you and Harry are going to get back together. You two are meant to be together."

"But, he is afraid I will get killed by Voldermort or something." Ginny replied.

"No. I have great feeling that he will protect you. You two are gonna be together. I JUST KNOW IT."

"I hope so…" Ginny muttered, trying to control her tears.

Ginny overcome her tears and said in her normal voice, "So, how is it going with Ron?"

"Ron? What do you mean?" Hermione said, turning her back on Ginny to prevent her from seeing her face turning red.

Ginny walked over to face Hermione, but Hermione turned her back on Ginny again.

Ginny shrugged.

"I mean, what's going on between you two? I know you like him."

"How did you know that? I…I… mean…"

"C'mon. Let it out. I have known for years. The way you look at him. I just know.

"Well, okay… so I like him… so what? He will never like me."

"You will never know…" Ginny hinted.
