Unfinished Business

Standing with two house elfs in my room I pondered my next course of action.

"Kretcher were you left with any standing orders?"

Kretcher looked down in shame.

Two sequential POPS, and Kretcher was back holding a neckless. Silver wrapped around a green gem, emerald perhaps, with an S on the front.

"Master Regulas asked me to destroy this and I couldn't." The elf handed it over.

"Kretcher there is a strange magic coming off the necklace, have you ever felt it before?" I asked perplexed.

Sensing magic was a new thing.

"Only from you scar half-blood master." Said Kretcher, answering as ordered.

I rubbed my scar.

I sat in thought for a moment. I obviously couldn't trust the wizards to help me. After all Dumbledore knew of the scare for over 13 years. Who would be an expert in magic and be able to help me. Then the thought hit me.

"Do you think the goblins could help Kretcher?"

"They are very powerful half-blood master, theys may be helping for a price." Kretcher said a bit more optimistically - if that was possible.

"Kretcher could you make an appointment for the healers and curse breakers?"

"Of course half-blood master."

And then POPED away.

That left me with one elf with nothing to do.

I had lived in this house for as long as I could remember. My possessions could be shrunk down to a match box. My dear Aunt must know more, or have more magical things in this house. Wouldn't she?

"Winky, could you go through this house and bring me anything magical and anything that belonged to my parents?"

"Yes I cans master Harry."

And POP, she too was gone.

I stood there in a crap room. My lovely cousins second room. Still yet to actually be cleaned.

A list. That's what I needed.

I now had two house elf's to help me. I could do things now. Especially sense I was finally thinking clearly.

I got out a parchment and quill from my school trunk and took a seat on the floor.

The List, I wrote at the top.

1. Have the room cleaned and the bed repaired.

2. Have the elf's fix the mattress, and get proper bed things.

3. Have the elf's make a proper study desk, worth of a Ravenclaw.

4. Read through books 1-4.

5. See if the room can be warded for magic use, and if it can practice books 1-4.

6. Have Kretcher teach me about the Ancient and Noble Houses.

Before I could continue Winky POPED back in with many things in tow.

There was a trunk, and many trinkets.

"These be the things I found master Harry." A proud smile on her face.

"Thank you Winky."

I looked the things over, but before I went on I asked Winky about the things on my list.

"Winky could you clean my room, repair the bed, get dressings for the bed, create me a proper study desk, and ward the room from outside magic detection so i can practice my magic?"

"I cans master Harry." Winky said with a smile and went about the room.
