Chapter 3
Dumbledore came walking down a huge set of stone steps to greet Harry, Ron, Hermoine, and Ginny. The four of them could not believe the size of the house. It was more like a castle then a house as Dumbledore had put it.
Dumbledore saying, "Your things have been brought to your rooms", broke the silence. "If you follow me I will bring you to them right away and then I will give you a tour."
Dumbledore lead them through hallway after hallway and up many flights of stairs until he reached a portrait of a solemn looking man even though he was asleep.
"Here we are. It is very similar to the gryffindor common room. The password is Narnia. Godric wake up you must meet your new guests. Harry, Hermoine, Ron, and Ginny, this is Godric Gryffindor, one of the founders of Hogwarts. This was his house. And Godric these are four students from your house. Now please I have lots to show the students before the day is done. The password is Narnia"
"You may enter," Godric said as the portrait swung open reviling a common room even more luxurious to that of the gryffindor common room at hogwarts. There was a roaring fire and large plush chairs and sofas. Everything was gold and red but seemed much richer. There were tons of books in the common room, which caught Hermoine's eye immediately causing her to squeal gleefully and race to the shelves. There was a wonderfully intricate wizard's chess set and a lovely wooden broom closet, which upon further investigation by Harry already contained all of their brooms including a spare for hermoine should she want it. Harry highly doubted she would after the way she reacted to flying buckbeak all of those years ago.
"Oh, Professor this is wonderful. I've never seen anything to compare," Ginny said with an awestruck look on her face.
"Yes well I thought you would like it. Girls, your bedroom is up the stairs to your right boys to the left. The washroom are off of your bedrooms. You can explore those later, right now I thing you should meet with the other resident of the house and then have some supper," Dumbledore told them. "Come follow me."
The four tried to figure out who else would be staying with them. Dumbledore had never mentioned it before. They had thought it would just be them and the professor. As they walk along the hall they took in all that they could. The house was full of amazing tapestries and artifacts and wonderful pieces of artwork. The windows were made of stain glass showing Godric's ancestors. The floors were all wood with soft rugs and the walls were made of stone. Finally they reached a set of large wooden doors. Dumbledore pulled then open reveling a long wooden table with a bench on each side and a large chair at each end. There was someone sitting on one of the benches. He stood up and face them at the door.
"MALFOY!"
