Chapter 2 - Visit From the Founders

(By Master Black. Beta'd by Pyra)



Harry woke up the next morning to his Aunt banging on his door.

"Get up Now you lazy toe-rag. The house work isn't going to do itself," his Aunt screeched

"Yes Aunt Petunia" Harry shouted through the door.

It seemed that the Dursley's had again forgotten Harry's birthday, but they never forgot. They just ignored that fact that Harry lived with them, except to use him as their personal cleaner.

Harry quickly put on a pair of jeans and a T-Shirt and went down stairs.

Dudley, Harry's fat cousin was already sitting at the table stuffing himself with food, which Aunt Petunia made. They had given up the diet as it wasn't work but the school nurse at Dudley's school wanted him to go running at least twice a day, which surprisingly Dudley did. Only because they made Harry run in front of him and the Dursleys' gave Dudley permission to hit Harry once he caught him. Which never happened as Harry could still outrun Dudley.

Harry was just about to sit down when his Uncle walked though the kitchen door.

"What do you think you are doing boy? Get outside and do the garden or you won't get any food for a week."

This was just to make Harry weaker so that Dudley could catch him when they went for a run. Harry walked out into the garden and saw a complete mess. The grass was up to his knees and there were weeds in all of the flowerbeds.

"This is going to take all day," Harry thought.

Harry started by cutting the grass, and then he weeded the flowerbeds. By the time he finished it was six o'clock. He walked into the house cleaned up and went back into the kitchen. On his plate there was bread and butter and some water.

"Eat it up quickly as your Uncle, your cousin and I have to go out and we are locking you in your room." His Aunt told him.

"Yes Aunt Petunia" Harry replied.

Harry quickly finished his 'meal' and walked up to his room. Uncle Vernon locked the door and his family left the house. Harry lied down on his bed and fell asleep.

Harry found himself in a room. In this room were five chairs of which four of them were occupied by two men and two women.

"Hello Harry. Please sit down," said the man wearing red on the left.

"Who are you" Harry replied

"Didn't you get that book your friend sent you? She didn't pick it up by accident," said the women wearing blue.

"Yeah but."

"No buts we have only one hour to tell you everything" interrupted the man on the right wearing green.

"Yes Salazar is right we must start to tell Harry all about himself and his special powers," said the lady next to Salazar.

"First we should introduce ourselves. I am Godric Gryffindor," said the man in the red.

"I am Rowena Ravenclaw," said the lady in blue.

"I am Helga Hufflepuff," said the lady next to Salazar.

"I am Salazar Slytherin," said the man wearing green.

"Harry, we are here to tell you that you are the one that is to defeat the current Dark Lord, just as your ancestors were the ones to defeat the Dark Lords of their times.

You must chose one person related to each house from your own time to learn your powers as they have learnt them though their family or if you wish we can chose someone if you don't know anyone" Gryffindor said.

"Well seeing as I don't know anyone who is related to me, I'll let you chose."

"Ok the power you will learn from the Gryffindor line is to become an Animagi. You won't have one form but you will have lots. The person that will teach you this power is actually your Great Aunt. Her name is Minerva McGonagall." replied Gryffindor.

"What Professor McGonagall is my Great Aunt?" Shouted Harry

"Yes she was your Dads Aunt." Gryffindor said.

"Now from the Ravenclaw line you will learn the art of art of becoming invisible. For this your Professor Flitwick will teach you. We have decided to find someone in Hogwarts to teach you as it will be easier for you to find them. Professor Flitwick is about your fifth cousin on your mother's side."

"If I have all these family members why did I have to live with my Aunt Petunia and her husband" Harry said angrily

"Well you Aunt had to do it to protect you. Although she acted as she didn't like you, she loved you to pieces. She is a half blood where your mother was a pure wizard. Your Aunt is the only member of the Slytherin family apart from her father, your Grandfather as he is also your mother's father. And she will teach at Hogwarts this year. From her you will learn the art of wandless magic." Slytherin replied.

"What. You're telling me that my Aunt is a witch." Harry shouted.

"Yes and she is an expert when it comes to wandless magic. Didn't ever realise that every time you came home from school the house was spotless even though Dudley made a complete mess." Ravenclaw interrupted

Harry thought back to the time on Dudley's birthday when he didn't get what he wanted, he ran into the living room and started ripping out plants and smashing the china plates that hung on the wall. Then when Harry got home from school the house was spotless.

"Lastly from the Hufflepuff line you will learn how to mind speech. This art is only used by the Hufflepuff line. The person who will teach you this is your father's cousin Remus Lupin. And before you start to say anything" Helga said (as Harry was about to say something) "You were never told as Remus is a werewolf and he didn't want you to get upset about you not being able to live with you."

"So you are telling me my Great Aunt has been teaching me for five years, the best teacher at school is my second cousin, my fifth cousin also teaches me and my Aunt who has hated me all my life is a witch" Harry shouted.

"Yeah" replied the four founders

"This is going to be a long year," muttered Harry

"Ok now on to the other gifts. From me you will get my sword, which Albus Dumbledore has. Also you will get this Phoenix. Her name is Flame. She is Fawkes' sister." Gryffindor told Harry

"From me you get the ability to talk to animals. Also I give you this book that contains all the spells ever invented and it updates its self." Helga told Harry.

"From me you will get this map. It is like the map your father and his friends made but this has all the secrets to Hogwarts. Also you will have a room on the Hogwarts ground that only you can enter or someone you trust." Ravenclaw told Harry.

"From me you get this trunk. It contains what ever you need. Just tap the top of the trunk with your wand and say ' By the power of Salazar Slytherin send me' followed by what you need; whether it is food and textbook. Also I will give you these rings. Give them to your friend and they will be able to mind speech to you and to anyone wearing these rings." Slytherin told Harry. "Also the trunk will hold all of your school stuff as it has five compartments. The last one is where all the stuff you want will be stored. Also is weightless."

"Thank you. I..I don't know what to say" stammered Harry

"We have one last gift. As you are related to all the founders you wouldn't need any of the passwords to the school. You can create new rooms, and can move about the school as you will. You can also 'jump' instead of walking around the school" Gryffindor interrupted.

"Thank you" muttered Harry out of shock.

"Now we must go. One other person will visit you later in the year once you have learnt our gifts." Ravenclaw said.

"Good luck Harry Potter. May your future be long" the four founders said as they faded away.

Harry woke up with a start. He looked around his room. In there were all the gifts that he had been give. Flame was flying around the room.

"Hello Flame. How do you like your new home"

It's fine master. Will I be able to see Fawkes soon as I haven't seen him for years

"Did you just speak to me"

Yes don't you remember what Helga told you

Oh yeah she said I could talk to animals. Does that include Hedwig

Yes Master it does but you must get some sleep the Weasley's will be here in ten hours so you must sleep

Harry rolled over and fell back asleep.
