Chapter three: First full moon

The light blue fire crackled gently in the fireplace, emitting a dim glow into the room. Its light covering everything in the room with a calmling warmth, including the fifteen year old boy that rested on the leather couch. His light gray eyes zooming over the text of his book he was content in reading, a slight smile spread over his face. The full effect of Rowena's and Salazar's magic had taken him, erasing all evidence that he once belonged to a different pair of parents. In fact the only things holding him to his last life were the two scars he bore. Neither would ever leave him, which he had grown to live with even in the short amount of time. It served as a reminder to him of the wrongs in his life.

Funny how much knowing the theory behind a spell could effect its outcome.' Harry thought to himself flicking through the book with interest. The book's words opening a new portal of knowledge to him that he once before would have bypassed. There were so many workings behind a spell that if one didn't pay attention to it they would never actually master the spell. In fact a person who could actually master the spell wouldn't have to worry about thier spells being deflected by some countercurse, for once a spell was truly mastered there was no other defense for it save ducking and dodging. Which was the secret behind the killing curse, the spell in itself didn't need to be mastered for it was created perfect, but it took the emotions of hatred or anger to actually pull the spell off.

Interesting.' Harry thought to himself putting the book down and standing. Rotationing his arms to get the muscles loosed for a second Harry bent down and picked up his fallen cloak from the floor. The bronze lining of it gleaming in the light of fire, as Harry twirled the cloak around to fasten to his shoulders. Wondering just where Rowena had gotten too just that fast, Harry pushed open the door to the common room to find no one there. Harry sighed to himself and opted to sit by the fire place to wait for her, rulling his finger over his newly fitted armor. While they had spent most of the day obtaining a new wardrobe for him he had only one set of armor, the dealer stating that no other would work for him. The material was that of dragon glass, a glass that was forged over thousands of years of being exposed to dragon fire creating a glass that protected against weapons and magical alike, a one of a kind armor.

"She said she would be right back." Harry thought to himself standing in front of the fire surrounded in his thoughts. Wondering when he would return to his own time, and then even if he wanted too. Life now was looking so much better then it was in his own time, but he knew he would need to return to his own time, if only to get revenge for the death of Sirius. Shaking himself from his muses he turned to face the window of the tower, looking over the beautiful grounds below him that were set aglow by the moon's welcoming light. Smiling to himself he turned his gaze to the moon, and even as his eyes met the round globe he was brought crashing to the ground with a terrible force. He managed to get his hands in front of him to stop the force of the impact on his face, only to scream in pain as his bones ripped from his flesh as he met the stone surface. Harry's arms soon crumbling found himself face flat on the ground and feeling as if he was being pulled into the ground, the horrible force pressing him to the ground so powefully the stone under him began to crack under its weight. Harry wanted to scream again but he found he couldn't move his mouth at all, and was forced to grit his teeth in the pain.

"HARRY!" Rowena's voice called to him. Seeing the boy in his condition quickly made her way over to the fire place, muttering something under her breath along the way. The alarmed face of Salazar soon appearing in the flames, looking around in a hurry he said nothing and lept through the fire. Waving his hand at the boy causing him to left into the air, while Rowena began whispering under her breath again. Harry still in a great amount of pain noticed none of this until he heard loud snapping noises and felt a gentle wave of power was over him, and soon after the terrible amount of pressure that was holding him done lifted and on his feet again.

"I hate it when you're right." Salazar declared in a winded voice before falling into the couch behind him. Harry looking down at his completely healed arms though of course the weapon scar was still there before turning to face the others who had both managed to collaspe on the couch. Harry looking bewildered joined them on the couch across from them, and opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by Rowena.

"That young Harry was the awakening of your elemental power." She said in a matter of fact tone. "An awakening that was pushed into happening by the wolf magic you hold. A trait that is held within your father as well, his element being that of air." She explained in a even tone though Harry could see she was a reck under her cool exterior. Harry raising an eyebrow none the less, he had never heard of a wizard holding elemental power before which he soon voiced to Salazar. He could feel several new powers floating around his body and he needed answers quick.

"What'sss an elemental?" Harry said in low hiss that sent Salazar in an upright position and Rowena in a dead faint.

"You can ssspeak parssseltongue?" Salazar responded in the same low hiss, Harry looking at him in shock that he was speaking parseltongue without first looking at a snake.

"Yesss I've been one asss long asss I can remember." Harry said with a curious expression. "But why doesss that ssshock you? Sssurely you would have exxxpected me to be one." Harry said tilting his head some, to which the man shook his head to.

"Only the head of the family can ssspeak parssseltongue. How did you become one?" Salazar questioned with a frowned face. Harry taking ten mintues to explain the power transfer with Voldemort. "Well that exxxplainsss it. Ssso it ssseemsss you have quite alot of power my ssson, parsssel magic, wolven magic, wizards magic, and a gravity elemental. Quite alot of power indeed."

"How is gravity an element?" Harry said looking at Salazar with a puzzled expression on his face.

"You see Harry, most people think the primary elements are just that of water, fire, earth, and air. And those combine would make secondary elements ergo water and air to create lightning, water and fire to create ice. But there is a fifth primaray element that is rarely seen, which my son you have. Gravity." Salazar explained switching to normal speech. "Not much is none about Gravity elementals, so most of your training on that will go by ear I would say." Salazar finished looking up at the ceiling in deep thought. Harry about to question was cut short when Rowena spoke again, sending Harry over the chair with her sudden awakening.

"That will have to wait Salazar, I'm quite hungry and I'm sure Harry is as well." Rowena said with a smile on her face as Harry emerged from the other side of the couch. Harry finding this true as an unnatural hunger rose him him, Harry feeling a pull in his magic stopped all feelings of stopping it, soon finding himself looking at the world from another perspective. All his senses where hightened and the blood drive he held ealier nearly drove him insane, and before he knew it he leapt out of the window. The wonderful feeling of the night air wrapping around his body, with his paws quickly landing on the smooth of the tower. Harry howling loudly began racing down the side of the tower inhuman speeds to the grounds below.

Booya!
