Thank you all for the reviews.
Harry Potter is not mine, this is a story from a fan.
(BSC 5 C20) C147, Open the doors.
Narcissa almost ran from her hiding place at Malfoy manor. The last hour or sow had been filled with screams of pain and torture, followed by even more screams of torture and pain. Voldemort only said one thing as he ordered Death Eater after Death eater to appear in front of him where he placed the Crusiatus curse on them all one by one. If they couldn't hold it together for two minutes he avada'ed them on the spot. The moment he got tiered he asked the kids to do it for him. Pansy was enjoying herself and Draco was kind of doing the same. She could hear some hesitation in his voice but that was all she was hearing.
After a full hour of screaming, she had enough and rushed out of her hiding place and out of the wards. She apparated away and straight to Hogsmeade where she took the floo to Potter castle. She knew that everybody would be at Hogwarts but she just had to go somewhere she felt safe. When she got there she did the one thing she wanted and ren out of the castle. Next to the castle was a little building that was called a garage. In that garage were a couple of cars. She never knew what they were used for but they were shiny and Emma had told them they would take a spin in it someday. No the one thing she came fore stood at the side and she had to smile when she saw it. As she walked towards it the little girl that was inside herself came out. In that corner was her own mountain bike she got from Harry and she desperately wanted to go for a spin as Emma called it.
She knew that no one was there so she took off her dress and put on a pair of pans that were in a bag that was on top of her bike. She could not ride in a dress as Emma had told her and she wouldn't. As she got on the bike she took off as fast as she could. They never did anything like this before and she loved every minute of it. As she biked down the path in the forest that surrounded Potter castle, she took a hard left as she left her back wheel drift out and went to the houses Harry was building for the Werewolves that would be appearing there in two days' time.
She was in awe at the way the goblins had build it so fast. The last time she had been here there were only three of these buildings now there were seven. Two were already in use by the Veela's because they would be helping the werewolves.
At first, she thought they would not believe or trust him and he would only get a couple of the werewolves who were willing to join him. What surprised her the most was that almost a hundred werewolves wrote a letter that they wanted to join him. Some of those letters were even coming from far away. True to his words Harry wrote them all back that they were all welcome if they wanted to work for it. Something they all wanted to do because he gave them not only hope but even some money. Sure they could live there and that would be enough for most of them but having that little payment made it even sweeter.
As she rounded the corner with a skitting back wheel she stopped right in front of one of the buildings. She went into the home and gazed around. Harry had told her all about it but this was the first time she really saw it for herself. As she walked into one of the buildings she stopped almost immediately. The first thing she saw ware almost twenty thick iron doors. Slowly she walked toward one and opened it. What she saw was a concrete box-like room without a window but with grass on the ground. The first thing she thought about was that Harry had lost it and that he was really going dark. But the moment she had that thought she remembered that they were talking about Werewolves. They would change ones every month on the full moon and this had to be their cells. As she walked out and gazed to the side of the door where she saw a couple of rune sequels. While she took a closer look she could see it was an anty sound ward, an Anty smell ward. But also a monitoring ward. Susan had been the one that told her why they did it. It would keep the Werewolves from hearing and smelling the others keeping them relaxed while they changed into their werewolf form using the wolfsbane potion. The last ward was for the Veela's that would be monitoring them just to see if they were oke during the change. Arabella was working on another potion and some of them would be getting it but none of them knew who it would be.
As she closed the door she took the stairs up a floor to look at the real rooms. As she saw the first room, she had to berate herself for thinking the worst about Harry. The moment she stepped into one of the rooms, her jaw almost dropped onto the floor with what she saw. What she saw now was almost perfect. The room wasn't really a big room but had all they could hope for or need. It had a bed, a desk, a couple of seats and a little table with a couple of chairs. It even had something that looked like a little kitchen. It had a shower something she had never heard about before or had ever seen. As she turned one of the knobs, she drenched herself in the stream of cold water that came from it. She huffed and screamed about the amount of water that came upon her and turned when she heard laughter behind her. Looking like a drenched cat, she turned around and saw Emma laughing at her as she held on to one of the chairs. Her white blouse was so wet that you could look through it and Emma had to laugh even harder when she saw the red face of Nolwenn who also saw it. With a wave of her wand, she dried herself and gave a dirty look at Emma. "What are you doing here, I thought you would all be at Hogwarts".
Emma nodded. "Yes we are supposed to be there but we also had another job to do. You see Nolwenn will be making a flyer that will be sent to a lot of Werewolves that have shown an interest in working here. Now the moment we got here we saw that your bike was gone end we took a couple of others to find you".
It was now that Narcissa bent over to shake out her hair as she gave Nolwenn a good look at her behind. Emma stood up next to her and whispered in her ear. "Breath, girl, breath".
"It is a nice one" Nolwenn whispered softly.
Emma just smiled as she turned Nolwenn around. "Just talk to her and take her out for a muggle dinner. You might get lucky one day".
Nolwenn smiled "I would like that but what would we talk about".
"Just take her out and lad it all happen on its own". As Emma turned around Narcissa was still bent at the waist and she had to say that Nolwenn was right. Narcissa did have a nice ass in the jeans she had gotten for her. "Okay let's go on to the next building".
As they walked out Narcissa stepped next to Nolwenn. "I know that you are writing a book on Harry. How about putting some parts in it on the dark Lord".
Nolwenn frowned a little. "I'm not writing a book on Harry but on my friends, and what they are about to do and what they will be doing after it all. I would like to have a part on the Dark Lord but I will not be talking to him".
Narcissa smiled. "I know but as you know I will be spending time with IT".
"Yes, you do and you could be a part of the book. it will be in the store when It is all death and done. After it I could put your side in it, you know the side of the one spy, only if you want to that is".
"Yes, she wants to and you could talk about it over dinner or at a spa day," Emma said from the side.
"What is a spa day," Narcissa asked.
Emma got big eyes and a wicked smile. That is something we will do with all the girls. As soon as I find a muggle with a spa center who knows about magic. When we find it we will get Harriet in it with us all".
"I don't know about muggles but I do know a couple of Veelas that are running a spa. I even know they always wanted to open one in other countries" Nolwenn told her.
"We could make one at the edge of the Peverell estate if Harry lets us. It could make him some money for Hogwarts" Emma said while she was thinking out loud.
"How would you get Harry to agree with that" Nolwenn asked.
"That one is easy. I just put the girls on it. First, we take them for a day to that spa of theirs and then sick them on Harry".
"Your evil," Nolwenn said.
Emma smiled as she started to walk out the door. "Now we have to check every room, just to see if they have everything Harry wants them to have. When we have done that we will go to the mess hall".
"A what hole," Narcissa asked as she joined the two women.
Emma smiled again. "It is a place where they all can get their dinner. They can take the food to their room but also sit here and eat with the others to get to know them".
This made Narcissa stop at the spot. "You mean he will also be giving them food".
Emma frowned. "Yes, he will, did you think he would just work them to the bone and not reward them at all". Narcissa opened her mouth but there was no sound coming out. "No, Narcissa he will not. There will be dinner lunch and breakfast for all of them. Everything else they want they can get at a store. Harry has made portkey's too and from Hogsmeade. None of them will know where the Peverell ground are because it is under a Fidelius charm, a special one".
"But I know where it is," Narcissa said.
"DO you really" Emma challenged her.
Narcissa stopped again and thought about it."I always come by floo, Wait, he has everything under the Fidelius except the floo".
Emma just smiled at her. "I know it is something special. He did it after he learned what his parents had done with the spell. He would not want it to be done to him".
Nolwenn shook her head and Emma helped her. "His parents were betrayed by Peter who gave the secret to Voldemort. He didn't want that to happen to him so he took it a step further. So he opened the floo after he placed the Fidelius on the castle. This gave him the freedom to give everybody exit to the castle. making them think they know where it is but, in reality, they don't".
"But the Veelas game to the front gate when they got there," Nolwenn said.
"Emma shook her head. "Now, I do not know all of it but Harry told me they only got to the gate of the Peverell estate. meaning they never got to the castle. The one who did get in was taking in by hand, not by the secret. And when he told them the secret they never knew they heard it in the first place".
Nolwenn snapped her fingers ''It was in the oath he made them do''.
"That little shit" Narcissa said with a smile. "He found a way around the charm". She was still smiling as they walked into a room that looked like a restaurant. As she looked around she saw a lot of serving stations and tables all over the place. "What is the point they are trying to make with this room," Narcissa asked.
This time it was Emma who shrugged her shoulders but Nolwenn knew the answer. "I was there when they were talking about the drawings they gave the Goblins. This time it had been Hermione who had one of the best ideas I ever heard. She told us that in this way you force them to get all of their food in the same place. It will make them look at other people. Veela's and Werewolves will be standing next to each other when they get their food. Just like it will be for the Goblins and Halfbloods that will be staying here. On the moment they get their food they can interact with the others but they don't have to. Meaning they can learn about each other without being afraid. Something all of them are".
Narcissa sat down on a chair. Slowly she shook her head. "The ministry and Voldemort are controlling the people by the fear they have. The friends are making them face them head-on. I do not know if that will help them" She told them honestly''.
Emma took the seat next to her as Nolwenn took the other side and took the hand of Narcissa in hers. Emma saw it but didn't say a thing about it. "I know it will scare a lot of people in joining Harry or asking him for help. But the longer it goes on the more they will go to the friends for help". Narcissa looked doubtful at the thing Emma told her. "I know it doesn't sound good when I say it like this but sometimes you have to put the people on the spot. Augusta and Minerva have told us that during the last war people didn't stand up for themself and were only looking at Albus for help. The friends will help anyone who needs it, but they also want them to ask them for it. The moment they go to Hogwarts for help they themselves need to participate in the day to day things, if not they are not welcome".
"So that is why they were so glad whit the help from the Veela's," Narcissa said.
"Yes, They not only asked in a way but also offered to help in any way they could and he needed. In a way, the Friends are not only preparing for war but also the time that comes after it. When the war is done the real world has to be built back up and you can only do it with people that want to make it better or you will go back to where it was before the war, meaning the dark and light will only think for themselves".
Narcissa nodded a little but it was still a little hesitant. She knew that her mind was still thinking in another way and knew that the friends were right. She did, however, wondered why they always seemed to get things right while they, the adults were almost always making a mess of it. "Why are the friends so much smarter then we are?"
Emma got a sad look when Narcissa asked her that one question. Nolwenn shook her head a little as she pulled the hand of Narcissa closer to herself. "For Harry it is simple, he was never allowed to be a kid. Never got the arms of his mother around him in protection as every other kid has" Nolwenn saw the little tears in the eyes of Narcissa but went on. "His life had been forced in every way. He had to clean, cook, and do everything they did not. That point was forcefully given to him in every way they could. Fisicly and mentally. To make it even more hurtful they did the opposite to their own son making Harry see what he would never have, Only that action made him grow up that much faster than any other person we know. Now for you, it was the other way around. You always wanted to be that mother but you never got the chance to be it" Nolwenn told Narcissa while she took her into a hug. Nolwenn knew something from Narcissa and just did it because she could see Narcissa needed it never realizing how close she was holding Narcissa against her.
Narcissa had been listening to Nolwenn and slowly started to think about her own Draco. The one things Harry never got were the things she always wanted to give her Draco. She could not help herself and started to cry silently. When she felt the arms of Nolwenn pulling her into a hug she could not help herself but to feel really safe. And could not help herself to snuggle a little closer to Nolwenn. "What about the others" She whispered.
Emma looked on as Nolwenn got what she wanted but also that Nolwenn didn't realize she did. "Hermione is easy. She was to smart for her peers. It was why she got bullied and why she took her escape into the books she found everywhere. The more she read the more she knew the more isolated she got. So Hermione grew up all by herself. The others didn't grow up as fast as Hermione and Harry did but they had to because of the world around them. Neville was alone with his grandmother. Susan with her aunt who is the head of the law. Daphne because she just needed to be the lady of the house. Bella, you know better than any of us".
Narcissa nodded as she pulled herself away from Nolwenn, who still didn't realize how close she had Narcissa against her.
''Now, in the end, it all came down to one thing Bella had told Harry. To do it better then it is now you only have to do it the other way around and that is what they are basically doing. They look at it as it is now. they then imagine the opposite of it and do what they think is best''.
''Were we this bad for it to be such a simple answer''.
Both Emma and Nolwenn just nodded at the last ting Narcissa had said.
#*
Most of the family had left Hogwarts when Harry started to walk towards some of the empty hallways of Hogwarts with Bogrod and his friends behind him.
Dan was checking out the warehouse with David and Sirius, the friends would rent out to Voldemort. The best part of it was that Emma and Dan were the owners of said warehouse and wondered if Voldemort would ever find out. It was here they would be placing the cameras and microphones. They still had time but better now than later because you would never know what would happen during the year.
Jean was checking out some of the houses in Hogsmead with Luna to see if any of them could be good enough for the Quibbler. The one thing they could never do was placing the Quibbler in that building, but that was again something Voldemort didn't need to know.
This time, however, Harry and the others would look at the empty space of Hogwarts just to see which lessons he could bring back and which rooms he could rebuild for another purpose. What surprised them the most was that almost three-quarters of the castle was still empty.
''Harry,'' Hermione started. ''If we use one half of the castle for the first seven years we could use the other parts for masteries or the start of it''.
''Yes, we could but that will be after the war, for now, I was hoping for something else you know for during the war''.
Harriet stepped to the side of Harry when she said. ''How about this. We could use a lot of expanding charms. With that, we could make one hallway into a hospital wing that is the half of St. Mungo. Another wing we will create into little rooms for everyone that comes here for shelter. Now I know you wanted to keep all of them safe so I Would say ship them off to America or Canada. We the Goblins could keep them there for safety. you know the kids and elderly who do not want to help us. I also know that you will not help people who will not help you. But if the husbands want to fight they would be more willing when they know their families are safe, then when they don,t know''.
''She is right Harry, we can not keep everyone here, some of them are just too young or too old. And we can't use everything for the war. I even think we have to get tom the Innkeeper her for a bar. People need to unwind We can bring them to the movie theater but they will need more. We also have to make a game room and a training room''.
It was now that Harry sat down. ''This is so much, how are we going to pay for it all''.
This time it was Bogrod that stepped between them. ''I know that you would give all of your money but that is something I will not let you do. When this is all over you yourself will have taken a big hit and you would need it all for yourself. It is then that you can use it to make this school into something the founders wanted. A magical school for everything Magical''.
''We could have a yard sale'' Hermione sad from the side".
Most of the purebloods didn't know what a yard sale was, so Harry and Bella had to explain it to them. After it, Harry just had to point out the obvious. "You know Hermione. It is a very good idea but there is also a little problem. To get enough money for Hogwarts we will need a lot of stuff. The other problem we have is we still have to keep it a secret for Albus and the ministry. Just like the things, we will do here during the year".
It was now that all the friends sat down in the middle of the classroom making everyone that was still with them just look at them. Most of the friends were just standing there but didn't say a thing. While most of the adults were looking at them while Bogrod and Harriet were just smiling. Minerva who had been following them had to ask Bogrod while he was smiling because she didn't get it at all.
"Minerva, Welkom to your first talk of the friends," Bogrod told her.
"But we thought they".
"No, they don't really talk in the way you all think they do. Most of the time they just sit like this and say what pops into their minds.
"We could put an ad in the Quibbler,?" Daphne said.
"What would we put in it?" Susan asked again.
"We could not ask for help because if one of the Ministery workers reads it they will know it," Bella said right away.
"If we had stuff we could place a loose paper in it telling what we are selling," Neville said from his side.
"So if we do not have the stuff to sell. could we make something to sell" Harry said from his spot making all the others stop talking to start thinking again? This time however he turned to Bogrod. "Bogrod, four of us have access to the vaults of the founders when we are seventeen. If the founders give you some lean way could you go in there and see if we could use something to sell for Hogwarts".
"Harry what are you thinking," Bogrod asks making the others lookup.
"Well, as King Hogwarts, I have access to the Hogwarts vault. I know that there are things we have to look at. We might even be able to sell some of it for Hogwarts. As Lord of Gryfindor, I might have access but I'm not sure just like Neville, Daphne and Susan, may have it".
"Let me go and ask them, I even think we have a little portrait to take to the vaults so they can tell the Goblins what to take," Zanita told them just before she popped away.
On the Moment she popped away the head elf popped next to Harry. At first, he looked around at all the people that were with his king before he said. "Harry sir, We elves have a room that can change in everything you want. In that room, we made a room to keep everything people have thrown away or we have found in the hallways. That room is very big and filled whit a lot of thingies from over a thousand years ago".
Harry didn't say a thing and just gaped at the elf. He wasn't even sure if he heard it right. Daphne snapped her fingers in front of his face. "Harry, the elves have a room here with stuff that is very old some more than nine hundred years old. That is money Harry, money for Hogwarts". Harry was still looking at her with a look that clearly told her he didn't get it. "Just leave him there while you take us to the room" Daphne told the elf. It took Harry another couple of minutes before he realized that almost all of them had left the room and rushed after them.
Minerva who had been waiting for him took him along as she told him the others would be on the seventh floor. "There is nothing there," Harry told her.
"That is what I thought too but it is the only hallway without any doors. It is strange because we have three more floors above it. And they were all sealed with notice me not charms. We got to see it because you opened it up the moment you got the title but it is still sealed for everyone else that is in the school. Now let's go and see how big the room is".
As the two of them got to the seventh floor their jaws dropped when they saw the room for the first time. The number of things that were in there was astonishing to both of them. "Now Harry I do not know how you can sell it all but it will keep Hogwarts running for many. many generations to come".
As the walked further into the room Hermione came running to them. ".Harry, Harry. The head elf just told us how to open the room and also that it can turn into anything you want. It could even become a trainings-room for when we are going to train the others".
Bogrod looked up but Minerva and Augusta smiled. This time it had been something the friends had told them about. Sure the plan wasn't worked out yet but it was still something that they had told them.
For the next two hours, the friends all looked through the room when Bella suddenly started to scream for everyone to get to her. When they got to her Bogrod immediately rushed ahead to hold Zanita back from touching the thing they saw. "My Lady stop it. That is a Horcrux from Voldemort. I can feel the magic from here. I can also see that it is the diadem from Helga but it cursed, so I will take it to place it with the others. We did find a way to move the piece of soul to another thing and that is what we will do just before the friends give us the sign to destroy them". Zanita took her hand back and gave a small nod at Bogrod. Bogrod nodded back as he had one of his Goblins take to piece back to the bank. "Now please you all listen up. We Goblins are all over the world and because of that, I think it would be better if we sell most of this stuff all over the world. Your Idea of using the Quibbler was a good one but we first have to know what is in here. You never know what you want to hold for yourselves. We could even sell it like an antique company that takes an add in the Quibbler for selling his stuff".
"He is right Harry, we don't want to give away any books," Hermione told him making Daphne nodded along with her. Neville shook his head because it was only his Hermione that would think of books in the first place.
It was now that Harry was again interrupted by the head elf of Hogwarts. "Master Hogwarts, we have Professors standing at the main gate. They say that it is time to prepare their offices".
"They are here already," Minerva asked.
"Who" Bella almost screamed.
Everyone looked back at the head elve to see who would be standing in front of the gate. "We have half headmaster Dumbledore. Professor Snape. Professor Weasly and the new Professor Umbridge we also have Minister Fudge and Mr. Malfoy".
"What is Malfoy doing here," Daphne asked.
"No, what is that toad doing here already," Susan said from her side. It didn't take much to know that Susan was really hating Umbridge with every fiber in her body. From the day she called her those despicable names she had it out for her. Now they all knew that Amelia and Umbridge didn't get along but Susan took it to another level all by herself. "Come on, Harry, let's say hi and kick her right back out".
As the friends started to walk out of the room and down to the gate Zanita turned to the head elf. "Please could you find some elves to sort out a little part of this stuff. We want to see what is in there and what we could sell or use again".
The elf nodded and gazed at everything he saw around him. "Mistress, this is going to take a long time".
Zanita look around and gave a little sigh. She didn't want to disappoint her Lord and king. But she also didn't want to overwork the house-elves by ordering them to do too much. "Well, Hogwarts is ready. How about doing this one mountain first and after we looked at it we will be deciding what to do with the rest of it".
The elf gazed at the mountain of stuff. "This will be done tonight".
"Good, then we will come back tonight and see what we want to do with the rest of it," Zanita told the elf. It was right after it she popped out of the room and back-up right behind Harry who was almost by the gate.
As they all got to the gate they could see how Albus was standing there like he owned the place and they were just the servants who kept it up for him. "Albus you are early, everyone was asked to arrive at dinner time not at lunchtime".
"Now listen here" Umbridge started.
Harry just raised his eyebrow but Susan was the one he took the thunder from him. "Don't you even think about it. The moment you walk through that gate you are in our house. I'm still a princess here and I will put you out again even if Lord Hogwarts doesn't. So before you step into our house let me make one thing clear. The ministry might run the school but we run the house. One of our main rules is to give all of us respect and that is not calling us disgusting names. The same goes for you Snivilus".
Snape turned red from anger as he twisted a little. He wanted to respond but he had to think back right after the fight at Parkinson's manor. He had escaped just before the Rock would have hit him. The one thing he hadn't seen was that his Lord had apparated right behind him. The moment his Lord got back he was put under the Crutiatus curse. He knew he would be the lucky one because he had to go back to the Order. The one thing he hadn't counted on was the fact that Harry would be coming to the meeting. The moment he did he manhandled everyone there. Albus didn't bat an eye on it but Harry had clearly put the fear in a lot of them When they all told them he had been the one that had thrown the Avada curse at one of them. That was also when all hell broke loose. After it, there were two things Severus knew. one was to not mass with the friends. And the second one was also clear. Most of the Order members were waiting for another screw up so they could go to Potter and join them in the fight that was coming.
"Yes, we all know what you di the last time we saw you and if you even think about doing it again you will be" Susan screamed as Daphne and Hermione started to hold her back.
"Severus has my full" Albus talked over Susan and frowned when he himself was interrupted the same way.
"Yeah, Bla Bla Bla, my full confidence and Bla Bla Bla some more. Guess what Albus we don't give a crap anymore" Neville said suddenly. "We are here to look after the students".
"Hem, Hem.." Umbridge interrupted him. "We at the ministry are giving the lesson plans and are deciding who the Professors are going to be that are going to be teaching the students not you".
"Wrong," Daphne snapped. "You might be right about that but you are still in our house and if our guest are abused in any way we will deal with it our way".
Umbridge stepped up to Daphne and looked right up and into her nose. Daphne just lifted her nose enough so Umbridge could not see her eyes or the little smirk she was hiding. "Now missy".
Umbridge was blasted away from the gate by the first curse Susan released. Most of the people were just gaping at her as Susan was making her way over to the toad. "The moment you got here I told you to not call us any names and what do you do. So I will tell you one more time if you can't call us by our names, then you call us by our title Miss Umbridge".
Umbridge skitted away from a charging Susan while she looked at Fudge and Albus to help her. Snape had pulled his wand at instinct but dropped it the moment he saw all the others pointing their wands at him.
"Minister do something" Umbridge screamed.
Albus opened his mouth but Harry spoke. "Don't say it" he snapped at Albus. It was then that he turned his gaze to Umbridge. "Miss Umbridge, I allow you to enter our house. As in any house, you do have to follow the rules of the house. Now before we all go into another fit I did say that you were all early. Now I said that the school would be open before dinner but not right after lunch. I did this so all the Professors could get a night of relaxation and a full day to prepare their offices and classrooms. Most of the lesson plans are the same as the year before so that will not be an issue. The schedule are also the same because we do not have any new classes they are attending and the one of lest year will work's just fine. Now this time I will allow all of you to enter before the time but only this time it might be your lessons but it is still our school and our house". With that, Harry turned on the spot and was about to walk away when he said. "Minister Fudge, Lucius Malfoy, thank you for bringing them goodbye".
This was it again for this time. I know it is a short one looking at my last chapters but this was the right spot to stop the chapter. You might think differently about it but that is our fun, as the amateur writers.
See you all in two weeks.
Gr WInmau.
