New Life Needed

Chapter 3

As Harry walked in he saw four creatures, a lion, a snake, an eagle and a badger. All were as still as statues and staring at him. For the first time in a while, Harry felt awkward. The four animals looked as though they were searching his entire being – Harry could almost feel their inquisitive eyes searching for an imperfection. When they felt only his desire for revenge and why did they bow to him and slowly dissolve into thin air. Harry, being Harry, was shocked to say the least. But he knew what had just happened. The founders, in their animagus forms had bowed to him. But why? Harry was too exhausted from the day to figure it out and so; he found his bed and was out like a light bulb.

The morning light awoke Harry. Groggily he got up and dressed in black robes with the purple emblem of a sword sewed on. Harry took the time to properly look at the room. The colours were simple, deep purple and lilac. He saw the furniture was simple oak. He toured round the rooms and found a marble bathroom with a Jacuzzi and hot tub. Harry smirked at the sight of this. Remus and Sirius would kill to have this bathroom. Lastly he took a look at his common room. There were several books on the shelves and parchment and other supplies on the desk and statues of the founders side-by-side with their animagus forms. Harry was in complete awe. He took a look at one book in particular. The Rules of the House of Merlin and the Advantages, by Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin. Harry surprise took a whole new level, he looked at the grandfather clock and realised he'd have to read the book later. He placed it on the desk and went to breakfast.

The moment Harry walked in there was complete silence. Harry put on a blank mask and strode confidently to his table. Whispers followed him wherever he walked. When he was seated he had to stop himself from physically jumping when a house elf popped up beside him.

" Winky is wondering what young Master of Hogwarts is wanting for breakfast Sir. Winky is being pleased to do anything for Master." Harry, bearing in mind house elves always over did everything just for fun simply said

"Thank you Winky, but I'll simply have a croissant and a cup of camomile tea with two sugars. Thank you." Winky smiled at Harry and popped off, only to return with a croissant the size of a bread loaf and a cup of camomile as big as a goblet. Harry laughed and thanked Winky. He took a bite then looked around. He smirked as everyone's mouths were wide open, even the Slytherins.

"Flies people, flies!" He called into the silence. The majority went back to their breakfast. He glanced at his parents, and then watched as Tommy sauntered over to him. Harry rolled his eyes and unfolded his Daily Prophet. Without looking up he said in a bored voice "Ça va, Tommy?" Tommy ignored his polite question and hissed.

"You think you're so brilliant just coming here all high and mighty? I bet you threatened the Sorting Hat so it put you in Merlin. Mum and Dad said you're just a common Deatheater." Harry folded up his paper and walked towards the door and took his timetable from an owl that had perched on his shoulder.

"Don't you walk away from me!" Tommy whipped out his wand and shot petrificus totalus at Harry; Harry whirled away and cast a shielding spell wandlessly. The Hall gasped, as their 'Saviour' was petrified.

"Now listen to me Thomas, and listen carefully, the only reason I am here is so I can officially stake my claim on what is mine by right. If that means being attacked by others then I will not hesitate to seriously punish them as I see fit. And as for being a Deatheater? Why would I do that? I have no want for power. I bow to no one, especially not some hypocrite that calls himself Lord Voldermort."

Everyone flinched, either because of the name or the chilling tone in Harry's words, or possibly even the fact the magic around Harry cackled and his aura physically showed itself as bright white, symbolising purity, but also strength and the ability to kill for the ones he loved with his entire heart. His parents sat in shock, as the realisation of the fact Harry was not only the Chosen One, but also the heir to the Throne of the Wizarding World. Harry, also in that moment realised just how powerful he truly was and left the hall, raw magic following him. The walls glowed, just as they did when Hogwarts spoke the first night.

"Now you know the truth of Light,
One man, a boy, with pure sight,
May he have mercy upon you all,
Pray you live, you shall not fall,
For the Lord of Magic lives now and again,
a hand he holds, a hand he lends,
Just wait until he discovers love awaits,
You'll be in for a surprise,
just wait."
