Chapter 5- Finding Atlantis

Harry and Ginny got to the Burrow at 9:15pm. Harry told Ron and Hermione to meet them there, but didn't say why.

When Harry and Ginny (conveniently hiding the ring) got to the kitchen every body was there, even Charlie and his new wife, Ilene, came, along with Fred, George, and Angelina.

Everyone looked utterly confused.

Amberosia toddled over to Harry, who proceeded to scoop her up in his arms, and give her a big kiss.

"Well? Get on with it!" Ron said. He and Hermione were about to settle down to read an extremely fascinating 'book'.

Harry grinned down at Ginny.

"Well, " He began. "Ginny and I were out to dinner, and well, I mean-"

Ginny couldn't take it anymore.

"WE'RE ENGAGED!" She squealed.

Hermione and Harry exchanged a smile. Hermione had helped pick out the ring earlier that day.

Meanwhile, everyone else was whooping, crying, clapping, hugging, kissing, and squealing at Ginny and Harry.

Among all the commotion, only Harry and Hermione noticed a beautiful eagle owl swoop in through the window.

It landed on Harry's shoulder with a regal 'Hoot'.

Harry took the scroll off its leg and gave Hermione a quizzical look. She shook her head, and motioned for him to unfurl it.

He did, and his mouth dropped open.

"Oh, Merlin." Was the only thing either Harry or Hermione could say.

All at once, everyone realized that the two of them were standing there with a scroll in their hands.

"What does it say, Harry?" Asked Ginny.

"W-we have a house...?" Harry stuttered.

"What?"

"No way!"

"Really?"

Everybody began to talk all at the same time.

Harry held up his hand, and the mob fell silent.

"It's my parent's house." He said slowly

"But, Harry, mate, didn't it...?" Asked Fred, uncertainly.

"That was the house they were hiding in. This is their real house. It's all here. Th-this is their Will."

Harry laid it on the table. Amber blew a bubble.

"Dada? This Nona and Poppas' house? Angel Nona and Poppa?" She asked, pointing to a map of the street and house.

"Yeah, it's Nona and Poppas' house, honey bucket." He said to his daughter.

"But now it's ours, Hon, all ours." He told himself, his wife-to-be, and anyone within earshot.

A single tear ran down his nose, and Amber stopped it with her tiny finger.

"Don't cry Dada, Nona and Poppa gave you the house. We need it, right? Don't cry."

The next morning Harry, Ginny, Amberosia, Hermione, and Ron went to see the house.

When they got to the right address everyone gaped at the Potter house. Well, the Potter mansion. It was huge, white and blue, with an extremely well, kept lawn for not being used for… 19 years.

"Are you sure this is the right address? I-I mean, wow Harry, Gin, just wow." Ron said, his mouth hanging open a foot below its usual place.

"Well, shall we have a look inside?" Asked Hermione tenderly.

They obliged, and Harry unlocked the door with the key that had come with the Will.

The first thing they saw was the house elves.

"Master Harry! Mistresses Ginny and Amberosia! We is so glad you is finally here!" All of this was squeaked by an elf by Harry's knee.

"I is Tatty, and this," he pointed first to himself, then to a small female elf at Harry's other knee.

"This is Bitsy," She curtsied, as Tatty pointed to a smaller male elf by Ginny.

"That is Lathy," Lathy bowed and hugged Ginny's knee as Tatty moved on to another, even smaller, female elf.

"That is Kittsy." Kittsy curtsied as Bitsy had, and smiled wider.

"We is you house-elves. There used to be 30 of us," Hermione looked scandalized. "But some left when our old master and mistress left. We is hearing of the son of them getting married soon, so we is sending you the Will and key." Tatty bowed.

Hermione gave Harry a look that envied a lion preparing to pounce on a mouse.

"Err, well, I know this is against all House elf rules, but, err, my fiancée and I would like to you to have paying and, well, err, clothes."

At this the house elves dropped to their knees and cried," Oh, no, please master, we is very sorry for being bad! Please do not punish us! Please master!"

"Oh, no, you haven't been bad!" Harry knelt down next to Tatty and Bitsy.

"We just think you would be happier if you were dressed properly and had your own spending money! Wouldn't you like that?" Harry asked gently.

Tatty sniffled. "Sir is too kind. We is not deserving of this treatment, we is not meaning to disobey, but why is you doing this?"

He began to sob into a robe that lay at his tiny feet.

"Sir! What is this doing for?"

He gasped, and held up an elf-sized, turquoise robe with the Potter family crest on the back.

The other elves found replicas of Tatty's at their feet.

Hermione looked very proud of herself.

"Miss, you is much too kind." Kittsy squeaked, hugging Hermione around her knee.

"You're very welcome, Kittsy." She smiled.

"So how about a tour of your mains- err house, Harry, mate?" Asked Ron, smiling innocently at the house elves.

"Right, err, how about it Tatty? Sound ok?" Harry said to the elf, still attached to his knee.

"Oh yes, yes sire! A tour of- of, sire? What shall you be naming the Potter mansion?" Tatty asked Harry and Ginny.

"Name? Err…well…I don't know." Harry stuttered.

Ginny did. "How about Atlantis? There's this muggle saying 'harder to find than Atlantis.' I think it means something like 'it will come eventually' or 'find a paradise of your own.' Well, we've found ours." Ginny said, giving Harry's hand a squeeze.

Harry smiled. "Alright. Atlantis sounds perfect for our new home."

Ron looked utterly confused. "Err...Atlantis?"

Ginny rolled her eyes at her oblivious older brother. "The lost city of Atlantis? Duh Ron."

Tatty had already started up the stairs.

"This is the pictures of all the owners to the potter house." He pointed.

Lily, James, Harry and Ginny waved down at the four friends.

Harry waved at himself in the picture, and followed Tatty up to the next door.

"This is Potter history books. If you is ever wanting to see into the past, or close future, look in these." He opened the door. It was a room filled with books, all stating: 'POTTER'.

Hermione's eyes sparkled at them.

Tatty opened the next door, and Hermione and Ginny melted into their husband's arms.

"This is a nursery for any new potters or guest children."

It was pink and blue with a white crib in the centre and suns, stars, and moons all over the wall.

Harry and Ginny looked at each other; they both knew that it would be well-used.

"This is the guest children's rooms," Tatty said, running his long fingers across 4 differently coloured doors.

"This is the guest parent's rooms." He again ran his fingers over 4 differently coloured doors.

"There is more guest rooms on the third floor." He pointed upward at more doors, and opened another large, golden door.

"This is the library, where any and all books are kept for reading and research,"

Hermione's eyes went haywire at the hundreds of books, and then saddened when Ron abruptly 'helped' Tatty close the door.

"And this is the master bedroom for Mr. and Mrs. Potter to sleep."

'Sleep' was an understatement. It had two walk-in closets, a giant bathroom with a Jacuzzi, a gorgeous view of the woods behind it, and a large oak tree with a wooden tree house. Amber (who had been unusually quiet during the whole ordeal) squealed in delight at the tree house, letting Harry create a faint recollection of a wooden tree house, but as soon as it came, it was gone.

"This is the 'Rest & Relaxation' room, otherwise the R&R room."

The giant white room had a small sauna, a massage table, a large bathtub in the centre, and a large closet full of shampoo, body oils, body soaps, towels, robes, slippers, and a bunch of other things Hermione and Ginny loved, but Ron and Harry had a slight repulsion of. Otherwise, the R&R room was brilliant.

"Next, this is the owl room, and the room for any other animals you have."

It was, indeed, an animal room.

Cages upon cages of all shapes and sizes lined the walls and hung from the ceiling, perches were scattered about the floor.

Tatty pointed out a closet full of shampoo, towels, bathtubs, toys, food, and lots more.

They followed Tatty down the stairs, talking animatedly to one another about how "bloody brilliant" (Ron stated defiantly) Atlantis was, to the living/dining room.

"You wait here while we are getting food please; you all are looking starved,"

Piped Bitsy in a most Mrs. Weasley-like manner.

They obliged to the sound of food, 5 stomachs rumbling in unison.

Ginny smiled at Harry and whispered words of thanks in his ear.

He smiled back, and kissed her.

Ron looked away pointedly, but Hermione grabbed his hand and gave him a kiss, too.

He smiled 'damn I love her' he thought, smiling.
