Author's note

Hello, my dear readers,

it's your awesome author here (of course duh). Firstly I would like to apologize, I know I'm horrible with grammar but hey I want my thoughts to get across not the words, and yeah I know that there was some problem with the previous chapter but I have fixed it now. Also phantom is in the Astral plane when she is not in the living world. SHE and Phantom can still communicate through the mind link when the latter is in the astral plane

Her POV

I had just bribed Phantom in delivering the letter to Sirius. I know I could have sent the letter using the owl post but I feared that the ministry had some kind of monitoring spells on Azkaban and moreover phantom could not be affected by the demeters and she could pass through the wards as her signature was eerily similar to a Demeter.

~*meow* my payment ~ she popped back in the kitchen

" Of course " I placed a plate half full of dried tuna

~it is so less ~

" eating too much can affect your health "

~no, no no no no this is totally empty I'm going to fwaking starve ~

"Oh come on stop being so overdramatic phantom anyways Grafo do you know where the Hogsmeade post office is ?"

" Grafo know where it is " I handed her 5 gallons and a packet

" post this " she nodded and popped out

I checked the time 10:07

I decided to go out and have some breakfast

…..an hour later…

I returned back to grimmuald place to find that the hallway and kitchen were cleaned.

The tank holding the frog was still in its place, I sighed I wondered if I could use the frog in a potion , I already had phantom and I could only bring one pet with me , maybe I could smuggle it in….

Ugh "KREACHER !"

" yes master ! " he bowed

" can you lead me to the room you prepared for me " I asked while pulling out a map from my bag , I carried it everywhere

" yes follow Kreacher " I followed him and was pleased to know that the passage to the room did not have any portraits. I wanted to avoid any and every portraits till I was an adult, I knew that the previous Hogwarts headmaster Black had a portrait here and he could inform Dumbledoor about my whereabouts and I'd rather not have Dumbledoor knowing where I was even if the house was under fidelous charm and who knows which portrait was connected to which house , Of course, a dark house like Black will surely have connections to other dark houses for example like Malfoys

I entered the room and found that it was clean, like pristine clean with white walls , white ceiling , white floor , a queen size poster bed with white sheets , a dark oak desk bare opposite to the bed, there was a nightstands on either sides of the bed ,my trunk was already sitting near the foot of the bed , big walkthrough windows franked by curtains were situated opposite to the door , on the right of the bed there was a door that I guessed led to bathroom, and finally there was a wardrobe.

I went in and dropped my bag on the bed , then I proceeded towards the big kind of French walk through window and went out . The balcony had a balcony table and 2 chairs I moved past them and took in the view in front of me .

Beautiful….the sight that meet my eyes was simply beautiful. From the balcony I could see an endless green meadow flaunted by beautiful flowers and a lake .

" wow is this enchanted Kreacher "

" yes , that is the memory late mistress Carina Black treasured the most and hence enchanted the window to picture it "

After hours of reading , mainly about simple daily use spells , I went down and decided to do some cleaning my self .

First I went towards the dining hall that was towards the left of the entrance hallway. I opened the door and was attacked with darkness.

I whipped out my wand and did one of the first that I learnt

"Lumos" Light flooded the room and I was glad to notice that it had several lamps.

I concentrated on my magic, the warmth that I felt in my chest and desired it to go to the lamps. The lamps lit up and so did I.

I could do wordless and wandless magic, I decided early on that I will only use the wand when really needed and other times I will call upon my magic , My magic….it was like a untamed and pure part of me….it was like an dangerous but loyal pet , I only needed to tame it and according to 'magik most beautiful ' a book I had purchased in diagon alley , wands restricting magic in a way , wands interrupt their flow and forced it to concentrate at a focal point that being the wands tip.

Wands, wands were a tool to concentrate power back in ancient days. Children were given wands when they couldn't tame their magic or couldn't concentrate / command it properly. Wands, while being a need of today's wizarding world is nothing but chain a bind a sort of forced channel to ones magical core. In Olden days witches and wizards didn't need wands, why would they when they could just call upon their magic channelling it through their bodies and commanding it at a mere thought or desire…

I shook my head and got my mind out of that book, It's time for action not for reciting theories

I closed my eyes and concentrated on the warm ball of power inside me and all but commanded it to clean the room. I opened my eyes and was disappointed to see that noting had changed, I sighed.

I truly wish I could restore the house, after all I had promised LATE lady walburga to look after this HOUSE. I looked at the room and imagined what it would look like if it was clean

I felt warmth spread through me and the room started to fix itself . first, the thick layer of dirt and dusk vanished then the torn down wallpaper started to get fixed . next, a pair of brooms can flying in and started to destroy every spider's dream home . running after the broom came Kreacher and Episkey

" master the brooms-"

" yes I know " I said inattentively as my eyes followed every little progress my magic did to the room

" master be doing that ?"

"yes though I did not expect the brooms'' I said watching in fascination as the walls brightened up and the floor got scrubbed

" kind master harry can Kreacher ask a question?"

" you can "

" Why is master harry doing this ?''

" uh what? Come again "

" why is master harry cleaning the room ''

"because it is my house and because I can '' I said matter of factly " and moreover I think we will be able to restore this house sooner if I helped ''

" But master harry need not do this '' I shook my head " It's not a matter of need Kreacher it is a matter of want and This is my house , my home now, so it is my responsibility and duty to look after this house"

" there is Kreacher and other house elves for that " I sighed typical house elves

" Yes you are correct but….." I paused " I need to practice my magic and this is the best way to use it"

" oh so master harry is practicing his magic " he looked thoughtful " Kreacher thinks that hiring a tutor is best ''

" Kreacher I do not trust anyone other then you and probably the house elves, moreover I can't have the Light lord knowing about my where bouts "

"K-Kreacher has a suggestion for master harry " he hastily added " that is if master want's to listen"

" what suggestion do you have Kreacher"

" why not ….why not master harry learn magic from his elves " learn magic from elves…hmm …interesting….

" I don't mind , call the rest of the elves "

-15 minutes later -

I was sitting in a chair in the now pristine clean kitchen with Kreacher standing at my right and the rest of the elf's in front of me

" SO my dear elves, Kreacher here has come up with an interesting idea " I apused and looked at Kreacher "Kreacher would you mind telling them what is your idea "

" m-me?" I nodded " It's your idea after all " he nodded and looked at the other looking at him curiously

" as you see master harry here want's to learn magic but due to some reasons he can't hire a tutor so I propose that we elves teach master harry whatever we can "

The elves eyes widened and they looked at each other finally , Twinkle the eldest among the new elves spoke

" We elves be happy to serve master harry "

"Well then we need a kind of schedule for my lessons don't we " I chirped

~what are you planning master``~ phantom popped in the room and settled on my lap, the elves seemed wary of the nekomata but didn't question

" I have seen your files and want you to teach me in your best field "

" Episky you are to teach me charms since it is your best field " he nodded

" Grafo you will be teaching me transfiguration" she nodded

" Cades you are to teach me healing and….spar " the spar should be DADA but I wouldn't mind if it was hand to hand combat either

"master harry kreacher knows a lot about dark arts and astronomy , if master doesn't mind kreacher will teach him "

" that will be splendid kreacher "

" m-master harry , Twinkle may not be best in magic but she knows a little about herbs and potions "

" well that settles it then , with your help we can bring this house back to liveable conditions in a week or so then my lessons with you shall start " I got off the chair but sat down as a thought crossed my mind

" so since the kitchen and the biggest problem is fixed I guess that you guys can start preparing food here" they nodded

" Kreacher" I handed him a pouch of money that was connected to one of my vaults

" take this money and buy all the necessary things like ingredients , cleaning supplies etc..that will be needed in the house , you can take help from other elves if needed" finally I stood up. The elves were still looking at me waiting ….oh right…..

"you are dismissed" after that the elves all popped out

I went near the table in kitchen and looked at the tank with the golden creature in it . I sighed, might as well take care of it now that I'm owing it

I carefully lifted the tank and went to my room , I placed the tank on the night stand .

I looked through my trunk before finally finding what I wanted . I pulled out the poision protection gloves that were used in potion making and wore then. Nest I pulled out a can full of dead insects and a pair of tongs.

I eyed the tank critiquely before cautiously opening the tank's lid. The golden being in it looked at me with oddly wisdom filled eyes . I dropped a few insects in it but the frong did not move from his place instead it continued staring at me.

I was about to place the lid back on when the frog spoke , like literally spoke ( it actualy croaked and she understood it )

" hello young master " the shit…

Dear readers , I mentioned an expensive audiotape recorder in the previous chapter , the packet that Grafo has contains it , I know I'm spoiling the fun but I am in dire need of your opinion on this. At first I thought of recording some sinister karma related song in it and posting it to….a certain someone, I went through many songs and 'top 10 scary songs' and was unfortunate to stumble upon 'Dance with the Devil' I listened to the god forsaken song and was shaken to the core by the monstrous twist in it , I am contemplating whether to use it , along with other moderate songs like maxwell's silver hammer , outrunning karma, karma killer please help me.

AND of course you will get to see/read the expression and reaction of ….'a certain some' when the someone hears the songs
