After Alicia said that, she jumped through the door, disappearing in the darkness.
Harry, after a moment's hesitation, followed her. He could see why she told him to mind the step, which turned out to be more of a drop.
After falling, what felt like, five feet, Harry landed on a something soft. Standing up and looking around, he saw a large, well lighted room.
The walls were painted a navy colour with portraits of landscapes, animals, and people (Non-moving). The floor had wall to wall carpeting that was a beige colour. In the middle of the room was a sitting area with navy coloured sofas and chairs, which looked like if you sat in them you'd never want to stand up again, surrounding an oak coffee table.
Along the walls, were bookshelves housing even more books then the Potter library, on any subject you could think of.
"Not exactly a room for three six year olds, but we can always change it." Alicia said form he position next to Harry, while looking around the room herself.
"So we're the only ones who know about this room?" Harry asked her while pulling a book off of a shelf and flipping through the pages.
"Yep," She answered.
"How do we get back out?" Harry asked, putting the book back.
"Follow me." Alicia told him.
She walked over to the wall, next to the cushion (The soft thing Harry landed on), and pushed in a three inch piece of the wall. Immediately the wall started pulling in pieces of it self making hand and foot holes all the way up to the door they came in from.
"Wicked," Harry breathed.
"I know." Alicia said. "Well, let's get going. Dinner should be ready soon." And with that, she started claiming the wall ladder (That's what I'm going to call it), and was through the door at the top.
Harry followed her.
It took them fifteen minutes to get to the dining room. Once there, Harry saw his grandfather and three other people he didn't know.
"Hello children." Their grandfather said when he saw them.
"Hello." Alicia and Harry said together as they sat down at the table.
"Well, Harry, this is your great grandfather, Benjamin, your great grandmother, Rebecca, and you grandmother, Sara." Alexander pointed out the people while introducing them.
"It's nice to meet all of you." Harry told them.
"You too dear, it's so great to finally have you with us." Rebecca said.
Rebecca had long brown hair and warm brown eyes. She was wearing a purple long sleeved dress and a kind smile. Harry liked her immanently.
"It's great to be here." Harry replied.
"So, are you excided about getting you Guide tomorrow?" Benjamin asked.
"I sure am! It sounds really cool, having a Guide." Harry answered.
The adults laughed at the boy's enthusiasm.
During the rest of dinner, Harry had gotten a brief history lesson on Elvin culture (not worth mentioning right now, maybe later), and getting to know his family, and they him.
"I think it's time for two little ones to go to bed." Sara said after seeing Harry and Alicia trying to hide their yawns.
"Yes, Grandmother," Alicia said while sliding off to her seat, motioning for Harry to follow.
'Good night's' were said, and the two six year olds made their way to their bedrooms.
"Good night Harry." Alicia said when they came to their rooms.
"Night Alicia," Harry replied.
Alicia hugged him.
"It really is great that you're here." She told him before giving him a small kiss on the cheek and going into her bedroom.
Harry walked into his room and saw a pair of dark green pajamas lying on his bed.
He quickly changed and claimed into bed.
He lay awake for a few hours, thinking about all that had happened in one day. He had left the 'care' of the Potters, found Grandparents, Great Grandparents, and a cousin who wanted to be around him. He had a new home. A new life. And to put the icing on the cake, he was an Elf. This had to be the best day of his short life.

Harry woke up to a different room the next morning.
His bed was an ash wood four poster with carvings of pentagrams in the middle of the head and foot boards. The bottom half of the walls had ash wood paneling, and the top half was painted a dark, almost black, green. The window seat had a dark red curtain that was held apart by silver chains, revealing a dark red cushion that matched the sofa and bean bag chairs that were on the other side of the room. Opposite Harry's bed, on the left side of his bathroom door, was a mirror like Alicia's but instead of a rose, it was shaped like a Celtic cross. On the right side of the door was ash wood wardrobe.
The ceiling had silver bars going across it, spaced at about three feet apart, and holding up some dark red fabric that covered the whole ceiling in a ripple effect. (A/N I hope that made since)
Harry walked over to the wardrobe and opened it. Inside were clothes (Duh). There were work out clothes (sweat pants, tank tops, ect…), casual clothes (jeans, tee shirts, jumpers, ect…), formal (tuxes, suits, ect…), cloaks, and wizard robes, in blue, purple, black, red, green, white, ect….
Harry pulled out a pair of faded blue jeans and black tee shirt, before walking into the bathroom for a shower.
The bathroom had a double sink with a large mirror, a large step down bath tub, and a huge shower surrounded by dark green tiled walls. And the floors were done in black tiles. (A/N I know it's a bit dark for a six year old, but work with me people!)
After a quick seven minute shower, Harry left his hair to air dry and changed into the clothes he picked out. Harry walked over to the window seat and sat down, figuring someone would come to get him. Harry knew for a fact that he would get lost if tried to get to the dinning room by him self.
Harry pulled his knees close to his chest, pulled back the dark green curtain that hung in front of the window and looked out at the grounds of his new home.
About five minutes later, there was a knock at his door.
Harry walked over to it and opened it. Alicia was on the other side.
"Morning, Harry!" She told him while giving him a hug. "It's time for breakfast. C'mon."
'I'm going to have to get use to this whole hugging thing.' Harry thought to him self as he followed Alicia to the dinning room.
They were the last ones there. And after pleasantries were said, they ate their breakfast and made small talk.
-----
An hour and a half later Sara, Rebecca, and Alicia were standing outside of a warehouse type building, waiting for Harry to come out.
It was tradition for the one getting a Guide was to go in alone.
Harry had been in there for three quarters of an hour before he came back out, eyes half lidded and stumbling over his feet.
Having someone's spirit sucked into your body can be tiring.
"How'd it go Harry?" Alicia asked him.
"Not too bad. It was pretty easy really." Harry answered.
"So what's you Guide's name?" Sara asked.
"Sylvester Gemengd-Bloed," Harry told them.
"You mean THE Sylvester Gemengd-Bloed?" Alicia asked in awe.
"Yeah... what did he do in order to get a 'THE' in front of his name?" Harry asked.
It was Rebecca who answered.
"Sylvester Gemengd-Bloed was the only half Elf half Vampire that has ever been born. He was killed when he was sixteen by Vampire slayers when he was trying to protect his mother from them.
Not much more is known about him."
'She's right,' Harry heard Sylvester say. 'But she missed the part where I chose my own surname. Gemengd-Bloed is Dutch for Mixed-Blood, I never had much of an imagination.'
'She did say that not much is known about you.' Harry said to him.
'True,'
"Now, I think it's time for a nap, what do you say Harry?" Sara said to him.
"That sounds really good right about now." Harry smiled at her.
-----
A few hours later, Harry was awakened by someone jumping on his bed.
He groaned as he opened his eyes and saw that the culprit was Alicia.
"Wake up Harry, Dustin's here!"
