(A/N) Hey all! Don't worry about me updating, i'll be working on this as much as prossible! Ok so someone reviewed that QI started in 2003. I know. I'm keeping with the time, I'm just modernising it since I'm quite young I have no idea what you guys had in 1990. N64? Pfft, I don't know.

Sit back and enjoy the read. The next couple of chapters (or maybe just this one depending on the reviews and boredom levels) will encompass the rest of the summer holidays. Probably 1 or 2 more chapters on the holidays. YOU DECIDE. If its a yes, well, the chapter's wont be very long only 1.5k-2.5k words (unless I get carried away, which is unlikely because I haven't studied the topics on learning) . They, if you decide yes, will be focusing on Harry and 'Mione learning to become Animangi, which also invloces learning a form of occlumency since you need to be calm to find your Animangus form. It will also invloce them becoming smarter. Well for Harry anway, Hermione is already smart.

Harry and the three Grangers took Director Ragnoks advice and went to the Gringotts entrance where they found a goblin who was waiting for them. He gave them a portkey to Potter Mansion.
Now they were stood outside of a magnificent three-story building that was roughly two-hundred metres wide. It was beautiful, the fountains in the garden had exquisite patterns decorating them. The gardens were filled with blood-red roses and angel-white lilies. They also had some purple flower that Harry didn't know the name of. The bushes against the house were cut perfectly and the White marble trimming of the house and the deep green leaves made a great match.

Circling round to the side they found a massive hundred-metre pool which had wards round it to stop rain or leaves dropping into it. It also had a a couple of rides that led down into the pool. Going around further still they came upon a block of a building. Plan, simple and ugly. What they wanted to know was what was inside... well, them being curious led to them opening to doors and entering a gym area. They had a good look round the equipment and searched around. Hermione called to them. "Hey! Come look at this there's more!" naturally they all came rushing to the door she had located. Harry opened it. Inside were, what he assumed, black dragonhide robes and clothing.

Leaving the building with the joint promise on working on their health, which Hermione felt was pointless in Harrys case. Dan and Emma had agreed with the two teens that they needed to work on their bodies.
Harry led them back to the house to see Sharptooth waiting with a dozen goblins in mean-looking armour. The goblin caught sight of Harry and the group heading the his direction.

Raising a hairy arm Sharptooth waved them over. Seeing his motioning Harry and the Grangers went over to the goblin who was holding a goblin-size trunk. The goblin smiled. "Good afternoon Harry. I'm sure you've had a good look around, yes?" All four human nodded. "Excellent! Right let's get down to business. Our director has spoken to us about you. He was filled with trust and pride over you treating us equal and your kindness. Therefore, he, offers you an alliance between the Potter Family and the goblins in this country. What say you?"

Harry looked at the goblin as if to say 'duh' he answered. "Of course I'll except. Hang on... what are the terms?"

The goblin smiled. It was definitely creepy seeing a goblin smile so often. "Sharp one aren't you? Good. Okay I'll start with what we want out've this alliance. Firstly we want your word that you will not use us, unless we deem it appropriate. Secondly we want your word that you will help us gain rights in the wizarding world. And lastly we want your word that you will stand by us and not betray us. Is the acceptable Mr Pott- I mean Harry?" The goblin was all confidence on the outside, inside he was concerned. The lad was far more powerful than he knew and if these requests didn't go down well, he would have to make amends.

Fortunately his fears were unbased when Harry replied. "Of course. It sounds reasonable, I wouldn't do that stuff anyway but if you want it on paper it's fine."

The goblin breathed a mental sigh of relief. "Good, now we can move on to what we offer you. Firstly we offer sixty of our troops to look after you, this number can be negotiable within reason. Secondly we offer our word that we won't betray your trust and will not harm people you deem friends. Thridly we offer our word that your word will be either considered highly by our own goblin rights or your word will be automatically accepted, again within reason. Lastly we offer training you in our magics, which far superior to wizards. You will be taught healing magics and little or no offensive. What say you?"

"I agree." Harry replied simply. "What do I need to do to make this binding?"

The goblin looked uncomfortable. "You can't until you become emancipated."

Harry and Hermione looked at eachother, parents in the background silently egging the pair on. Leaning forwards together they kissed softly. Harry pulled back and, held Hermione to him, replied. "I think that clears up where me and Hermione stand." He turned to Dan and Emma. "I hope you two will give us your blessing. I love your daughter I really do. I'm not sure what live truly feels like since I haven't been loved since my parents died. She has been nothing less than a great friend." Turning to Hermione, he continued. "I'm sorry about last year and ignoring you. I'm sorry for first year and not being friendlier to you. I'm sorry that you were petrified."

Hermione moved her head off his chest and a hand moved to his cheek caressing it softly. "It's ok, I understand the reasons. Just to clear up everything, I love you Harry James Potter." He smiled down at her.

The goblin, Sharptooth, looked like it was high on something. "Brilliant! I'll be round tomorrow for us both to sign the contracts. As a sign of trust I leave you these six of our elite troops." he motioned, grandly, towards the well-armoured goblins. "Ah yes!" he said, slapping his head, clearly remembering something. "I was instructed to bring you the your parents' trunks and the products made by your dad and his friends, the Marauders."

Harry grinned. Moving behind Hermione and wrapping his arms round her lean stomach he leaned down to her ear and asked in a soft voice. "Wanna become animangi? And learn pranking from the masters of the art?" He was excited. He really wanted to give a good prank to Malfoy and his deformed and defective friends. And she knew it. Tilting her head back she kissed his jawline and replied. "Of course Harry. I wouldn't mind a prank to lighten the mood once in a while."

He mock-staggered in shock. "Hermione wants to prank someone? God when did I become such a bad influence?"

She grinned and punched his shoulder playfully. "You, sir, were always a bad influence on me. I seem all sorts of times where I've been in trouble; I only got off because of my otherwise immaculate record."

He sighed in apparent distress, it would've been more convincing if he didn't have a grin on his face. "Where did I go wrong Hermione?"

She didn't reply. Then she spoke up. "A good prank or two ought to bring the twins to their knees when they find that the son of a Marauder has come into the business." Harry snorted. "They'll be begging to be taught the true tricks of the trade."

The goblin looked at the grinning pair and rightly assumed they were plotting. Clearing his throat to gain attention, he frowned and clicked his fingers. The trunks and a box appeared. "The trunks belong to your parents Harry and the box has the books in. I have to leave now. The goblins have set up a temporary camp for the night shift. I'll see you tomorrow." With that he popped away.

Nodding to the guards Harry made his way to his mansion. The gravel crunching beneath his feet. He opened the door and gasped. Inside was sheathed in marble, exquisite patterns running up the banister of the staircase.

Dobby popped in front of the awed group. The loud cracking sound drew their attention to him."Master Harry Potter sir you is here! Dobby is happy to meets Harry Potter sirs Miss Grangey and her parents. Dobby will take you to the bedrooms so you cans settle in."
Harry picked up the Marauder box and his dads trunk, silently looking at Hermione, with his eyes, to take his mothers trunk.
Dan and Emma weren't sure what to make of the big-eyed, understated, and big-eared creature. It was polite and not moving quickly towards them so they saw no reason to panic... for now. They followed the little creature up the stairs. What they saw was many, many doors on both ways, presumably bedrooms, toilets and shower-rooms.

Harry asked Dobby. "Whats inside all these rooms? Theres so many!" He was quiet for a second. "Why are you here? I thought you were free?"

Dobby shook his head violently. "No sir, Dobby is free sir. But Dobby is wanting to be working for the great Mr. Harry Potter sir. Sir is a great, powerful wizard and needs to learn." Dobby took Harry and Hermiones hands and popped away, leaving two suprised parents to wander through the halls. They stumbled on a home cinema, apperantly muggle electricals work in this magical enviroment. They were eager to sit down and have a watch.

Meanwhile Hermione was drooling in anticipation. In front of her was a library. Hence the reaction. Harry saw her reaction, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, he said. "Hermione, flies." Hermione blushed and her jaw came back to life.

She looked at him. "This place is fantastic! Can we come here tomorrow?"

He grinned and playfully replied. "If your a good girl, I don't see why not."

She raised an eyebrow and went to moved over to sit on one of the bean-bags, her hips swaying more than usual; Harry was now the one drooling, staring at her behind. She smirked to herself; she knew what she was doing to him.

She plonked herself down grabbing a thick book from the closest shelf and began reading. Harry caught the name before the page turned. The How-to's on warding your Property, from lethal to annoying, by Daniel Potter. She after reading the title and who made the book, she checked the bookcase. It was filled with various Potters and had many, many subjects. Harry grabbed one. The Potter Guide to Transfiguration, by James Potter. He looked for his mothers, charms and potions books since she was the one of the best in England during her days. Probably still would be. He found them quickly. Lily Potter's guide for the budding potioneer and Lily Potter: How to charm the people pants off. Harry sniggered at the second book title.

Taking the three books, Harry sat down onto the bean-bag next to Hermione and began reading his dad's Transfiguration book. He found it fascinating to learn the secret of Transfiguration. It's all in the visualisation.

Three hours later they went down for dinner. Harry and Hermione couldn't see her parents anywhere. "Dobby!" Harry called. Dobby popped into existance.

"What is Mr. Harry Potter sir wanting?" He asked eagerly.

"Could you go and find Hermione's parents, please?" The elf nodded, dissappeared and re-appeared with Dan and Emma clutching their stomachs. Dan groaned. "God that doesn't get better at all. Is it dinner yet? I'm starved."

Dobby smiled tentatively. "The Potter house-elves cooked you foods sirs and misses."

"Thanks so very much." Dan replied, shaking the elfs hand. "Your a life-saver."

Dobby gave a watery smile. "It's the house-elf's job sir."

After a mouth-watering dinner of roast lamb, roast potatoes and vegtables. Harry, Hermione, Dan and Emma sat in front of a roaring fire for three hours, talking quietly. Both women dropping off in their mans arms. Dan and Harry shot eachother a smile. Harry motioned to the sleeping women. "Bucket of cold water?" He asked, quietly while, grinning dangerously. Dan shook his head. In the same quiet voice. "Tried it before. I slept on the couch for a month." he replied sadly, with a grin on his face.

"Ouch. I'm not trying that then. Not until I can lay the blame on someone else." Harry said smirking, then he yawned. "C'mon lets take these two to bed and call it a night." Dan nodded in agreement. Both lads rose with their women in their arms, carried bridal style up the stairs and into their chosen bedrooms.

Harry set Hermione down gently on the king-size bed, remvoing her clothes and changing her limp form into her pyjamas. He stripped and climbed into white shorts. He climb into the bed and pulled Hermione onto him, sharing the heat for their bodies. Hermione snuggled closer and let out a gentle sigh of contentment, one that Harry shared.

The next morning was much like the previous. Harry woke up with his sleepy green eyes opening to see two chocolate orbs staring intently at him. Smiling he said. "Hey! Good morning." He was tired and didn't bother trying to hide it in his voice. So it came out as: "Hmph! G'mornin'."

"Yes it is and do you know why?" She looked at him intently, she was infinitely more awake than he was. So he forced his eyes open and talked normally. She loved this sleepy cuteness he had, the way his startling emerald eyes would wake.

Grinning rakishly, setting the belly-flies going in her stomach, he replied. "Why yes I do. I'm being emancipated today, and you will be Lady Potter. If you still want it... the soul bond completes in..." He checked his watch. Then did the math. "We have two hours to change our minds."

"Well I'm staying here. No way am I leaving... especially if it's a one-time opportunity. If you still want me?" She spoke with longing and hope. She loved Harry, he was so kind to her. Ever since first year he'd been good to her aside from the odd Ron-caused rejection. She couldn't take it now they were together.

"Of course Hermione. I wouldn't leave you, ever. I promise. It is definitely quick, but since it is a one-time chance I'm so taking it. " He replied stroking her fair cheeks softly, until her eyes fluttered shut from his gentle touch. He decided to joke slightly. " Besides Ginny reminds me of my mum and there is no way I'm going there." She laughed. Then he said. "Come on, let get up. That goblin, Sharptooth, said he was coming over sometime in the afternoon; we need to get ready."

They dressed seperately, they had only been together for two days and neither were ready for seeing those parts yet. Hermione was worried Harry wouldn't like her, it was silly but she felt that way all the same. Harry went along with what she wanted. It's definitely at the top of the male agenda: agree with everything she says and you won't get screamed at.

They went downstairs meeting Hermiones parents halfway downstairs. Dan and Emma called to the teens and smiled and motioned them in the direction onf the kitchen. Understanding the teens turned back round and continued down the massive staircase and turned right towards the kitchen. The parents found the kids chatting about something called 'Animagi'. They looked questioningly at their daughter and soon-to-be-son-in-law. Harry took up the explaination. "Animagi or an Animagus is, simply, a person that can change into a particular animal. The process of becoming an Animagus is long, and has the potential to go very wrong and cause the transformation to become a disaster. Once the initial training is over, an Animagus can change at will at any time, with or without a wand. The Animagus form is a reflection of one's inner nature. Finding your inner nature also aids you natural Occlumency defenses." At their confused expressions he answered the unasked question. "Occlumency is mind defense, used to guard your mind against legilimens. A skilled Occlumens can order their thoughts into parts, sort of like a computer and the folders."

Dan and Emma understood that. "Can non-magicals like us use this?"

Harry turned to Hermione, who was thoughtful, but eventually shrugged. "We're not sure. I'll look further into the book." To Hermione he asked. "Did you find those ingrediants in the potions room yesterday?"

She nodded. "Yes, I'll grab the Marauders book on Animagi and prepare the potion. We can start learning the Occlumency Marauder-style as well. Their way is much faster than any other way I've heard of."

They sat and ate pancakes with lemon and sugar with a glass of pumpkin juice, before the group got up and went to the Potter gym. After working out for an hour, and aching terribly, the group walked back to the house on dead feet.

Dan was wheezing, he hadn't worked that much in a couple of years. "Dobby!" He called out, his voice sounding strained. The elf popped in front of him. He wore a makeshift belt around his waist and had four vials of potion. "What's those at your waist?" Dan asked curiously.

"It's Pepper-up potion for master's and mistress's. It will help yous with recuperating." He handed a vial to each human, who eagerly drank. An audible sigh of relief escaped their mouths. Harry was the least effected by the workout but was tired, thanks to the potion he was up and at full health again.

"T- those running machines were torture! They didn't stop until you had done ten minutes sprinting. You, young Harry, are mad." Emma groaned. She and Dan had jelly-legs when they had gotten off the treadmills. Hermione wasn't as bad, being on adventures with Harry certainly did good for your health after the first couple of times.

Harry grinned he had been least effected by the run, since he had to run from Dudley and his bum-chums quite often. His arm muscles were growing but relatively weak, despite all the hard word he had done at the Dursley house. He was stronger than a fair amount of people in their year but wanted to fill out the muscle a bit. Lean and wiry was his goal... he did not want to become Crabbe or Goyle. He shuddered at the thought.

Together they entered the house and immediately dived for the couches. Resting before having to meet Sharptooth again.

Read for the enjoyment, review for me please. It does wonders for my dedication. A big loopy thanks to everyone who has reviewed. You all seem rather eager for more and I'll continue to do my best to deliver. 1 person is nagging for the next chapter... I only started this 2 days ago, this being the 3rd day and so far I've uploaded a chapter a day. I'll try and continue with that if the reviews keep coming. Promise.
