""Parsley speech""
I was laying in the middle of Dumbledore's office. It took me a while to caught my breath and get use to the pain. Then slowly I got up. All the paintings of the headmasters and headmistress were watching me. I moved over to one of the chairs in front of the Dumbledore's desk and sat down.
I wasn't sitting there long when I started thinking. I thought about what happened with Voldemort. I opened my mouth and tried to say something. Nothing came out. As sat there waiting, my mind was already putting the pieces together of what took place tonight.
I jumped when the fire place came to life. I stood, turned and watched Dumbledore come throw the flow. He was as graceful as everyone else. He looked around and centered on me at once, he looked at me with worried eyes. I gave him a small smile. He came over and patted my shoulder, walked around his desk and sat down. I sat down after he did.
"Harry my boy." I nodded to him. He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. "Harry, you know I've made my mistakes." I nodded to him. "It's my regret that I haven't better prepared you." I shook my head at him. I already knew where he was going with this. He looked at me. Really looked at me.
"Harry say my name." He told me. I looked up at him and gave him a small smile and shook my head no. "Harry I demand you to tell me my name." I shook my head no again. His eyes lost all the light behind them and he looked grim.
"When did this happen my boy?" He asked softly. I pointed to my head. He nodded and knew the answer, he understood what I was trying to tell him. He looked at his hands that were cupped on his desk, for a few minutes. I let him take all this in. It's not like either of us didn't have the time.
"I've noticed you prefer using a pen." He told me, I didn't understand. He reached into his desk, grabbed a pen and handed it to me with a note pad. I sat forward and took them. I didn't understand. The note book was simple white paper and the pen was something you could get at any store.
"Do you know what happened Harry?" He asked me. I wrote something down quickly and handed that piece of paper over to him. He reached forward and took it from me.
"I remember feeling his magic hit me. I don't know the spell or the cause till afterwards." He read what I wrote out loud. He thought about it and nodded. I sat there and waited for what was next.
"I'm deeply sorry Harry for not allowing you to leave and grave or to check on your friends. But there are some matters we much talk about first." I nodded to him. I knew I was in trouble. "I believe it was a mistake on my part not telling you everything Harry." I shook my head at him. He looked at me. I just started writing. I handed it to him.
"I lied. I heard the full prophesy. I also understand what it means. He didn't find it when he was in my mind." He read out loud.
"Are you sure my boy." I nodded to him and started writing again.
"When he was inside my mind I saw everything that he was seeing. At the same time, we were somewhere else staring at each other. Then at the same time I knew and saw everything that was going on around me. He had to leave though when my feelings came forward." He read out loud and looked at me. Then he took his glasses off and looked sad.
"Love really is the strongest power out there my boy." I nodded at him. "I'm very proud of you for protecting your mind like you did. For being able to fight him off. But you must tell me what he saw?" I started writing at once. Then handed it to him.
"He spend a lot of time flipping throw my childhood. He saw where I lived, he saw the burrow and Grimly Place. When he started looking at people I care about he pulled out. He also was very pleased to find out Professor Snape is really on his side. I might have pushed that one." He looked up at me when he was done.
"Protecting people even then." He said softly then smiled softly. "Let me deal with a few orders of business. There's some coco and snacks waiting in the loft. Then we'll finish." I nodded to him and walked up to the study. Flawn was sleeping on his stand. I grabbed one of the mugs, took a drink and smiled at Salazar. He nodded to me.
"My little snakeling. How are you, I heard of the loss?" I nodded and walked over. ""You don't look as upset as I thought you would?"" He said to me in parsley. I walked even closer.
""I should have thought of this sooner."" I said to him. I was so relieved that I could still speck even if only a few people who be able to understand me.
""Yes, you should have. Parsley has nothing to do with a voice box. Come tell me what mischief you've been into tonight."" I should him my left hand as I took a drink to hid my smirk. His eyes grow.
""I slapped the port key on Sirius as he was falling. It looked like he went throw the vail when really, he was ported away. No one can know."" He nodded and understood.
""Where is your dogfather?"" He asked me but I could see the glint in his eyes. He was enjoying what he was hearing.
"It's at the wolf den. Remus will find him soon."" He smiled at me. Then looked past me. I turned and looked back and saw Dumbledore and Snape were standing on top of the stairs. I nodded to Salazar and walked away and over to the sitting area. Dumbledore patted my arm and sat down. Snape sat also. I shot a look to Salazar as I sat. He folded his arms.
"Harry?" Dumbledore sat looking at me after giving Snape a cup of tea. I took a drink of my coco and looked at Salazar.
"Albums it does not require a voice box to speck parsley." Dumbledore smiled and nodded. "As you should know." Salazar added. I took another drink to hide my smile.
"Harry my main concern for you now is where you'll be housed. I can't send you home, even with the blood wards it's not safe. The order is closed from this point. The burrow is also being cleared out as we speak. Not to worry. They have a safe place to live for the time being. It wouldn't be smart or safe for you to stay with the Wesley's. You also can't stay here as a student." I nodded to him.
"Finely Albums we've been taking to you for years to remove the child." I looked over and saw Godrick. Dumbledore nodded to him. "What have you decided to do then." Godrick asked him.
"The only chose that's left Harry is for you to become an adult and stay here. The first way would be to emancipate yourself. By doing so you would have to vacate the school when there's holidays. The second way is for you to bond with another. You do understand." I nodded to him. He handed me the pen and note pad.
"A marriage bond." He nodded to me once I turned it for him to read. He read out load what I wrote.
"Yes, one way for you to be allowed to stay on school grounds is to bond with a member of staff." I nodded to him. I thought about it. Then my head popped up.
"Albums." Snape hissed. I wrote something and handed it to Dumbledore. He took he and looked down.
"This will sign his death warrant." He read out loud. He looked at me. I saw throw his eyes that I pleased him with what I said.
"Albums."
"We'll return shortly." Dumbledore said and walked away with Snape. They moved in front of the fire place and started talking. I let out a breath. I sat down my cup and walked over to the painting of Salazar.
""I just cleared his name."" I told him softly.
""A bonding doesn't have to be known snakeling, no one has to know."" I nodded to him and understood why Dumbledore would bring this up. I looked over at the two men by the fire talking. I let out a breath and sat down. I took a drink and waited for my fate to be made up. When they were done, they came back up the stairs. I stood up and waited for Dumbledore to sit. Then sat down and picked up my cup again.
"Harry, you said you fought him out of your mind. But he spends time in your childhood memories. Would you explain why? When you told me when he touched on a happy memory he was forced out." He asked me and handed me the note pad and pen. I looked at them. Then looked up at him. I glanced at Salazar and he nodded to me. I let out a breath and took them. I started writing. I didn't make it long.
"The memories allowed him to stay longer to poke around. We both know he feeds off some types of emotions." He read out loud and looked up at me. He looked at me with sadness.
"Are you sure Harry you didn't give him anything else." I looked at the paper thinking about it. I reviewed everything that happened and shook my head slowly.
"Nothing of importance." I turned and he read.
"Pleased enlighten us Potter what you think isn't important." Snape asked me. I thought about my answer. Then started writing. Dumbledore took the paper from me when I was done.
"We viewed my childhood. From around age 2 to 11. After that he couldn't view very much. He skipped most of my school years, my summers throw the last few years gave him more time. While he was doing that he was picking information out of my mind. He really wanted to know about the prophesy. When he found out that it broke and I couldn't hear what he said he moved onto the order. He wasn't pleased that I didn't know very much. He did find out about Grimly place. The few members that I know of. Such as Tonks, Moddy and Remus. He found out that I know Proffers Snape is a spy in the order for him. He found out where I hid during the summers and people who I care about. He didn't get far, by that point he was pushing my emotions." Dumbledore read. I handed him the other piece of paper.
"While we were in the middle area. We didn't say anything or do anything besides look at each other. But he was different. He looked a few years older than he did in the diary. You sir know what happened on the top." He read and nodded. I was leaving a lot out but it wasn't from my mind. It's what happens in the middle.
"It's hard for me to believe you don't know the curse Potter." Snape asked me. I pointed to my head.
"He casted a nonverbal spell." I nodded and looked around. Then got up and pointed to a color. "The spell was orange." I nodded and sat back down. I blushed a little when I saw the note pad and rolled my eyes. I grabbed it and started writing. When I was done, I handed it to Dumbledore.
"Like I wrote I felt the spell wash over me. While we were in the middle. Right before he left, he lifted his wand and cast the spell. It arched really, didn't come right at me. It was also orange."
"Why didn't you protect yourself Potter?" Snape asked me. I looked at him and didn't understand. I looked over at the paintings on the wall.
"From what I gather Harry you were in a dream scape. You should have learned this already from Severus while he was teaching you to protect your mind. It's a plane inside your mind that's created to protect you from others. You both were there and most likely it was Tom's mind that projected the scape. He was holding you there to keep you from finding out that he was looking throw your mind. Even with such trauma, you kept your wits. You know everything that was going on." I nodded to Godrick. Then moved my hand in three steps.
"You even knew what was happening around you?" I nodded to him. He smiled. "Either your mind is very strong or Severus was a strong teacher. It doesn't take much for me to know which it was." He winked at me. I shook my head at him. He didn't care, just sat back and waited. I looked back at Dumbledore.
"Harry my boy?" He started and looked down at his hands that were folded in his lap. I waited to give him time. "From what I know about you, you researched the wards around your house?" He asked me. I nodded. He almost looked ashamed. I let out a breath and started writing again. I noticed Snape was watching us. Dumbledore took the paper when I was done.
"When you told me it was safer for me to be at my aunt's house, rather than stay at school. Yes, I thought about it and looked into it. While I tested the magic around the house during the summer, I research that magic while I was here." He nodded.
"Your thoughts?" He asked me. I thought about it and started writing.
"You mean my thoughts on why the blood wards still stand. Whether I was still living there. That's why you needed me to return. If I recharged them, you would have a safe place to put me. They didn't turn into a true family protection blood ward. It is just from my understanding a blood ward. The caster controls them." He read out loud and nodded.
"How much have you learned on the matter?" He asked me. I waved to the paper telling him that was all I learned. What was taught to me is another matter altogether. Salazar smirked at my answer. I took another drink and gave him enough time to think about what he needed to before we moved on. I could tell Snape was getting impassion.
"Like I was saying Harry I believe the safest thing at this time for you is to bond with a member of staff. This would allow you to stay at school without anyone questioning the matter. A private bonding, is just that my boy private. Yes, a copy of the bonding will be recorded. The Goblins will be given a copy along with the ministry. Though the ministry won't be able to read the copy unless either party of the bonding allows it. Not even the person who bonds a private bonding will be able to tell." I nodded, I knew all of this. "Professor Snape is the safest and wises chose. He will be able to protect you along with allowing you to stay in a protected place. Though in the end Harry you have to agree. A bonding won't take if either party doesn't agree." I thought about it. Then started writing. I handed it to Dumbledore.
"How do you expect this to stay hidden then? I take it I won't be leaving on the train, that will be noticed. Then when school starts up again, I won't be in my dorm." He read. He nodded.
"You are right my boy you won't be in your dorm. Hogwarts will add a new doorway to Professor's Snape's chambers. If anyone asks just state that you were given a private room. As for not being on the train. I will tell the order you have been moved to a safe house. I also believe if anyone could find the counter curse it would be Severus." I thought about it and didn't dough it if he tried. Though I dough he would try. Snape hates me more than anything else. I wrote something and turned the note book over for both of them to read. Snape glared.
"As you said both parties have to agree."
"Severus has already agreed." Dumbledore told me.
"A bonding is normally for life Potter. Though you can cancel a bonding if it never was finalized. Which I have no plans on allowing. Once there isn't a need for the bond any longer it will be removed." He told me. I looked over at Salazar and he was watching us all.
{What he said was true, all you need is the caster to remove the bonding.} I just looked at him. "Come forward both of you. We cannot know how long the bonding will be needed and for how long the headmaster will live. I will cast the bonding. I dough this war will destroy all my paintings."
"And if the school is taken over?" Snape asked with a glare.
"My main painting is in my bonding mate's family manor. Only blood family can enter the wards. My painting is safe." That made Snape agree and he stood. Dumbledore looked at me waiting. I sat the note pad and pen aside and stood also. I walked with Snape to Salazar's painting.
"If by chance you need my painting and cannot get to it, ask the Goblins. They will know I'm the caster and will be able to retrieve a painting. Grab each other's left wrists." We did and looked at him. He held his hands forward and closed his eyes.
Then he started chanting. I caught a few words and glared at the painting. Snape didn't seem to follow. Four ribbon tied our hands together. Then our hands light up and the ribbon's along with Salazar canting were gone and finished. In their place on our ring fingers were a set of rings. Snape bowed, whipped around and walked away.
{You had no right.} I hissed at Salazar.
"What a wonderful bonding. Would you not tell me what kind you preformed Salazar?" Dumbledore asked.
"It's a family bonding. It was not often performed in the public. Harry is displeased because I used a family bonding. That's all. It's late Harry, off you go." He told me and walked away.
"Come along my dear boy, Hogwarts has already built you a door." I nodded and walked with him. But my mind was on something else. We stopped right in front of a painting, we were close to the Gryffindor dorm also. The young man bowed to me. I bowed back.
"We part ways here my boy. I have a few things to check on before bed. Stay in your new chambers for the rest of the school year. Though my door is always open if you need me." I nodded to him. He smiled and walked away after patting my shoulder. The doors guardian and myself watched him leave. I looked at the painting.
""Hello Harry, I am Tzar. Salazar grandson. He chose me to guard your doorway. I tend not to trust anyone without a given reason."" I smiled and nodded to him.
""Thank you, do I need to choose a password?"" He nodded.
""You do, though it doesn't have to be tonight if you would wish to think on it."" I nodded to him. He looked behind himself. ""Though we do have time, Severus isn't in a mood that I would allow you to enter yet."" I let out a breath.
""I'll wait then,"" He gave me a small smile. ""Anima Vinctum will be my password."" He thought about it and nodded.
""That is a very good password. Not many know Latin so they will not know what it means. They might think it's some spell to open the door. Have hope my young one."" The door opened and I let out a breath.
""Hope is something I gave up on already keeper."" I said under my breath and opened the door fully. Though I did see Tzar look at me with a sad face. I slowly walked into the room and saw Snape standing next to a beautiful bar. He heard the door close behind me.
"That is the only door which you will leave and or enter. Do not use the other. You will not be able to use it either. I do not use passwords, my guardian tests magic. The open doorway is to the kitchen and dining room. You are allowed in there and here. They are the only open areas for you to use or be in. Down that hallway is your own area. I will not enter and expect you not to enter any of mine. Which are these three doorways?" He told me. He looked over and I nodded.
"Return before curfew every night and you are not allowed to invite your friends here. You are still welcome in your own common room. Do you have any questions?" I shook my head no. "The elves have already brought your things." He said and went back to what he was doing. I walked the long way around the room and down the hall. I opened the door and walked into a nice but bare room. I put my hand on the wall and thanked the castle.
Like he said my things were already here. They were already unpacked also. I walked to the end of the bed and opened my trunk. Everything was just how I left it. I let out a breath and closed the trunk. I looked throw the night stands and wardrobe. All my normal clothes were already hanging up or folded. Even my shoes were there.
I checked my desk and saw my book bag over the back of my chair. My books were stacked above it and all my papers and such were put away. I looked around and saw the blank stone walls. The plain wooden bed and cream bedding. I let out a breath.
I walked over to another door and saw the bathroom. It was the same as the bedroom. Boring and plain. At less there were lights in the room since there weren't any windows. I undressed and put my clothes in the hamper and got in the shower.
I cleaned up and walked out with a towel around my hips. I dried off and put on a pair of sweets and sweet shirt. It was cold here. I pulled on my winter socks and got into bed. It was cold and I was tired. I fall asleep quickly.
