'So that staff's impressive' said Salazar
'Yes no doubt about tat, it's attractive, stylish, soon all the kids will want one.' joked Godric.
'Funny Godric, real funny, so Harry, how did it feel?' asked Rowena.
'Well, powerful, it felt right, better than my other wand' replied Harry
'So we're are we of to now then?' asked Helga
'Gringotts, claiming five accounts, my dad's, my mums, a joint by my dad and mum, one from Sirius and The Potter Family Vault' answered Harry
'Oh your going to love the Potter Manor, it's unplottable and guarded by a load of protective spells and incantations, impenetrable' boasted Godric he continued. 'Plus it has a time room, a year per day, doubles as a room of requirement. You can go in and out when you want, twelve bedrooms all ensuite, an additional four bathroom, a library filled with books, three kitchens, two lounges, five stories high with two hundred and eight four acre property, with an outdoor and indoor pool, quidditch pitch and four paid house elves.' Harry was momentarily impressed that it one man could have built all that.
'No, he didn't build it, we did, with house elves help' retorted Rowena.
'All right don't argue, quiet now anyway we're here' thought Harry Harry.
'You were unusually quiet then, what's the matter? Asked Liz
'Oh it was just the founders that's all' replied Harry.
'That's all! What an outrage scandalizing o….' Godric started in mock anger, however was silenced by shushes from the other founders. Harry chuckled to himself.
Harry and Liz entered Gringotts, a goblin walked over to them and asked them to follow him, they walked into a very important looking office.
'Mr. Potter, and you brought someone else; I am Barlok Gringott, founder of the bank. I understand that you have come of age and are to inherit five accounts. Please come with me.' They entered an elevator, Barlok told the elevator. Mr. S. Black Vault. Moments later the elevator stopped. Instead of opening the vault the Goblin waved his hand and muttered something, the vault dissolved into a plain wall. Barlok walked back into the elevator beckoning Harry and Liz to follow, they went to The Potter Family Vault, the same was done, they entered the elevator again and repeated te process on his fathers, his mothers and their joint account. Entering for a final time they went back to the office.
'Now Mr. Potter I am sure you a are wondering what I just did, well I de-activated the vaults and transferred them to your current vault, they are all in you current vault. Now no to confuse you your vault now has six doors in side one to your original, another to your mother, another to your fathers, one to the joint account from you mother and father, one to Mr. Blacks and a final one to the Potter Family Vault. If you consent you are now the sole proprietor of six estates, they are written on this sheet, also you are now the Secret Keeper for all of these properties.' The goblin handed Harry a short list naming six properties' The Potter Manor, Number 12 Grimmauld Place, Godrics Hollow, Slytherin Street, Ravenclaw Road and Hufflepuff House.
'The rest of the vaults contains, money, swords, chests, rare stones, books, pictures and other things. Would you like all objects that is not money in a separate account?' asked Barlok
'Yes please' answered Harry. He turned to Liz telling her that they needed to go to Twelve Grimmauld Place. Now knowing the name Harry held her whilst he teleported outside. What he saw was hilarious.
All the Weasley's (except Percy), Hermione, Remus, Tonks, Kingsley, Mad Eye, Mundungus, Professor Snape and Professor Dumbledore were all asleep outside the house. Obviously when Harry gave consent to ownership it removed all current residents. Harry suppressed out loud laughter and whispered to Liz that something else would be a lot more hysterical. Harry and Liz walked around everyone telling Liz there names and making sure that she mastered them all to scare them a bit. Then they entered Grimmauld place and crept upstairs, finding a front side window, Harry opened it and placed 'Sonorous' on his voice.
'Oi! What are you lot doing out their' The effect was hysterical, everyone woke up and yelled or screamed at being outside, with no beds just their pajamas, of course it was more embarrassing for some of the Weasley boys who chose to sleep with no pajamas. Instantly they conjured blankets and wrapped it round themselves. Amidst the panic and confusion no-one remembered what had woken them up. Of course they couldn't see the place. Thought Harry so he yelled the address, instantly everyone looked up to find the owner of the voice.
The girls squealed in delight, Mad Eye was cursing him mumbling 'might as well tell the Death Eaters, Dumbledore was chuckling understanding what had happened. And the Weasley men? Puzzled to what had happened but still cursing Harry.
Everyone stampeded into the house in an attempt to find Harry and welcome him, hug him, curse him, yell at him. They soon found him on the staircase, Harry had place a Disillusion Charm on Liz. As everyone found him at once at least four spells were sent at Harry angry at having been woken up, however they were minor hexes, a jelly legs, two tickling charms, and a stinging hex that somehow escaped Mrs. Weasley but Harry knew exactly who had fired it, Harry cast an adapted magical shield so that all spells would be sent to the casters.
Luckily for Ron the jelly legs rebounded quicker so George's jelly legs made him fall into the Stinging Hex. However it was not that affective and he cast the counter charm so his legs were repaired. They all hugged him or shook his hand for three minutes or so (except for Professor Snape) but soon the demands for where he'd been, why had he changed, why they were outside, (Hermione was asking which book that shield was from). After a few more minutes everyone settled down as Harry told them he had some news.
'Can I introduce someone to you, my girlfriend Liz' Harry performed the counter and Liz slowly appeared into view. Most of the men were transfixed, Ginny and Hermiones faces dropped for a split second, Mad-Eye's magical eye surveying her. Tonks and Mrs. Weasley welcomed her and started talking. Professor Snape went upstairs grumbling about changing but froze when noticed the staff. No one else had noticed it yet it was concealed in his suit. In fact thinking about it Potter didn't use anything. Surely he did not perform wandless magic? Thought Severus.
'Uh-oh Harry, That greasy haired vampire look like has figured out about your wandless magic and staff' sang Godric in a joke singing voice.
'I know' replied Harry in a bored voice. Smiling to himself
'Potter!' barked Snape. Harry turned his head; he was about to have some fun. Harry looked at him directly and could sense Severus pushing his Legilimency skills to his extent to see how he had got a staff and used wandless magic. To Harry it was like an ant pushing against a polymer carbonate mesh wall, Harry used an obscure trick of Occlumeny from one of Godric's books. He allowed Snape to think he was winning when in reality it was just Harry's mind on top of his Occlumency create a very faint shield. Snape broke through and feeling momentarily victorious was then blasted out, physically Severus flew backwards into the wall from the pure force of Harry's mentality, if Harry had combined it with his Occlumency and Legilimency then he could have physically transported Snape somewhere or knock him through a wall and break through is pathetic shield.
'Ha! You see that is what happens when you mess with the most powerful wizard ever who just happens to have fully comprehend all of my Occlumency books and multiplied the force by twenty four, Oooh Yer!' yelled Godric in his head and Harry felt that Godric was doing a victory dance, the founders and Merlin groaned but Harry replied back,
'Godric, Merlin thank you for writing those books and notes' sniggered Harry
'Someone say my name?' asked Merlin
'Never mind' said the founders and Harry in unison.
'Harry what was the reason for that?' Mad Eye. He gulped and was saved by having to explain himself for not pursuing the matter by Professor Snape deciding to regain consciousness. Unluckily for himself, he was in a bad mood.
Severus Snape stood up fury in his cold eyes, how had Potter been able to throw him of with so much forced. He Severus Snape was the most accomplished Legilimens in the world besides The Dark Lord, refusing to look at Harry he decided to take him in by force. He brought out his wand and mentally cast seven curses, hexes and other spells he smiled, but soon stopped when he saw that Potter was still standing intact.
Harry himself was using another modified shield charm that was able to stop all spells and gather power from the person casting the shields emotions, careful not to show his wandless magic ability Harry used the hand in his pocket to cast the shield non-verbally. Careful to not let his emotions escape him and strike Snape with full blown anger Harry decided to triple the power of each curse, however he decided to let four miss him and sent two of his own. Harry sent the spells back at Snape, making them invisible, allowing four to hit the wall and the other three hit him along with a charm that transfigured his hair bright green and another that would not allow Snape to cast any spells until he said sorry.
Of course this happened in seconds, so Snape was shocked to feel three of the spells he had cast but more powerful, the Stinging Hex hitting him in the leg making him fall directly into a spell Harry had intended to his him, The Bludgeon Curse hit Snap in the stomach, whilst a Numbing Charm hit his face which was fortunate as another Stinging Hex hit him in the face whilst, he felt his hair changing and the sensation to talk was also lost. A cutting charm hit him in the arm slightly.
Unable to talk, Severus Snape instead made wild hand gestures, pointing and trying to shape something out of thin air, his temper flared and he dived to the staff, or more precisely where the staff was. As he went for where the staff was Harry thought used the connection to tell it to go to his other side and to make itself invisible. As he did this Snape grabbed where it used to be. Snape grabbed at nothing, feeling embarrassed he walked up the stairs to change his hair. Halfway up the stairs Harry said;
'Oh! I'm sorry Professor Snape, you must mean this staff.' Harry held out his right arm and told the staff to materialize in that hand. Everyone looked at him amazed. Snape claiming that he knew the Potter brat had a staff. Everyone was staring at the beauty of it, now everyone was talking to Harry at once except Ron. He was giving Harry a look of pure loathing. Harry had beaten him again, and he was a lot more advanced than hat they had been studying, defeated Ron just stared at him.
'Alright, I'll tell you all everything in five minutes, meet me in the lounge then. He walked to the breakfast table with Liz and conjured up some buttered toast and freshly squeezed orange juice. He talked to Liz briefly but told her he desperately needed to talk to the founders.
'Right what do I tell them?' asked Harry
'Nothing, you can't tell them you have twenty four drawers' replied Godric
'Well how can I explain about the wandless magic?' asked Harry
'Make something up.' Replied Salazar
'But he wasn't he was talking to Tonks and Kingsley most of the time' replied Harry. Then Merlin spoke,
'Harry listen to me, you have to feed them a reasonable explanation using Legilimency to them all at the same time, we will make it while you talk to Liz'
'Yes Harry, talk to Liz…' Godric was interrupted by the founders telling him to start helping.
'All sorted' said Harry to Liz. He continued,
'Just stay in here, don't go upstairs I don't think they have properly done anything it'll take fie minutes you see Merlin said that I have to use my Legilimency and feed everyone a memory of me telling them a reasonable explanation.' Meanwhile Godric was bickering with Merlin about the memory.
'Just listen to Merlin, Godric!' snarled Harry
After a couple of minutes Harry finished his toast, he kissed Liz on the cheek and mouthed something to her just as he entered the room with his cup of orange juice. She laughed out loud calling after Harry who stook his head in the doorway, she mouthed something back he smiled and winked at her.
Neither realized that Ginny and Hermione had watched the entire thing, loathing that they weren't like that with their boyfriends, romantic, smiling, talkative, obviously in love. No they argued with their boyfriends all the time and didn't talk that much.
'How could Harry not tell us about her?' said Ginny and Hermione indignantly, forgetting that they themselves had not told Harry about their relationships.
'Well I have never seen her at Hogwarts. Has she left school? Is she from a foreign school? Is she a muggle?' They both thought, mind whirling.
All of these were answered with Liz's first sentence to them.
'Hi Hermione Ginny, I'm Elizabeth, do you go to Hogwarts as well? I'm transferring this year into the seventh year. What year are you in? asked Liz politely.
Both reeling on how she knew their names, Hermione answered,
'I'm Hermione this is Ginny, I'm in seventh year and Ginny is in sixth year, what school did you go to?
'I went to Beauxbatons but it was so tedious and easy, not challenging at all. I've been studying with Harry all summer, not as good as he his but he was sweet enough to make a copy of all of his books so I'm getting their.' replied Liz. Meanwhile Harry was talking to George, Fred, Bill and Ron,
'Met her at a clothes shop, she help me pick out all my wardrobe, she's so great, I've bought her a whole new wardrobe because her mum died recently. I've got her something else but that's a surprise. She's trying out for the Quidditch team, she had trials for France but turned them down for some reason.'
'So you're like proper going out?' asked Ron
'Yes' replied Harry.
'Little Ronnikins is going out with Hermione, still at each others throats like and their eating each others faces half the time.' Said George. Ron's ears went pink, embarrassed his personal life had been brought to attention and that his brother was rubbishing his kissing technique.
'Anyway got to tell you all everything now' said Harry, everyone was in the lounge now except Liz she was eating toast.
'Right well were to begin…' Harry looked at everyone except Dumbledore and concentrated on the memory, the founders had finished it and he was told that it would answer all questions so no one would ask anyone anything. Harry brought the memory to his mind and then suddenly Harry pushed it out of his mind and it materialized in the room before anyone could ask anything a sparkling blue light shot out.
The founders and Merlin were celebrating the fact they fell for it, Merlin yelling at Godric saying, see I told you that telling them about group of Knarls would be a bad idea.
As he finished his breakfast, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, George, Bill, Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley and Tonks entered the kitchen for their breakfast.
'Harry dear, sorry we didn't prepare a birthday party however we did get you some presents, we'll give them to you after breakfast' said Mrs. Weasley.
'Alright Mrs. Weasley but I'm going having a look at my Gringotts Vaults and some properties I've inherited' replied Harry. Gordric was just about to start bragging again but the founders shut him up in time.
'So Harry, where's your new home? We've been trying to find you so we could owl you since we broke up, but after the first week or so you lost touch' said Ginny.
'I'm living in the deluxe penthouse apartment on the top floor of the Leaky Cauldron, views great, one bedroom, open planned styled, really modern and fashionable.' replied Harry.
'You live in that penthouse apartment that separates Diagon Alley and the muggle world?' asked Ron. Harry nodded, Ginny and Hermione were open jawed, Mrs. Weasley was listening intently her back to them whilst frying the bacon and Ron sat there with a blank expression on her face.
'Excellent, Harry you live right near us, we have a place on top of Weasley Wizard Wheezes, why didn't you come in and tell us mate?' asked Fred. Harry shrugged his shoulders and went upstairs, he wanted to experiment his elemental magic.
'Are any of you elementals?' Harry asked the founders and Merlin.
'Yes, it helps a lot in battles because it's wandless so you should be able to use your staff and elemental magic at the same time' said Rowena, she continued to say 'I'm an air elemental, Salazar is earth, Godric is fire, Helga is water and Merlin is a lightning and shadow elemental.'
'So how do I find out what I will be?' asked Harry.
'Well what you do is meditate again, look in your core,, go to the inner mind and then enter the Elemental doors, then what you have to do is… err…. Oh I've forgotten what you have to do next…' said Godric.
'What you do is look at the doors in their and then go in them, as soon as you go in a door time stops while you practice conjuring elements and how to develop them into shields and weapons.' Said Merlin.
'Well that's simple, I mean getting their not learning them.' said Harry.
'Oh you'll be surprised how easy it is Harry.' replied Merlin.
Harry focused on meditating and again found it quickly due to his yoga and t'ai chi. Harry then committed to finding his inner mind, minutes later their it was, looking like a highly secured prison. Walking straight through into the choice of doors.
'Hey Harry you can come visit us.' said Godric. The others told him to do that later as his main priorities was to find his elements, Harry attempted to open the door. It was locked, a couple of moments later Harry heard the sound of a door unlocking, gazing down at the handle he tried again. This time it worked and Harry went in to find out what elements he could harness.
