Harry walked into the Great Hall, ready for some more breakfast, he could take his time eating this time then he did with his bacon and eggs earlier.
"Good morning Harry." Flitwick called from his heightened chair.
Harry waved at the miniature wizard, "How are you this morning sir?"
"I am quite well this morning, and you Harry?"
Harry stretched a little before replying, "Best nights sleep that I've had in a while."
"So staying with Severus has some benefit hmm." McGonagall said as she took her seat.
"I guess you could say that." He said and sat down and waited on the others to arrive, "It's been pleasant to say the least staying with Severus, without the animosity that is usually there."
Minerva and Fillius smiled, "That is wonderful to hear Harry."
Dumbledore walked in, "Good morning." He took his seat, a bright pink and purple bow tied around his beard and sleeping cap on his head and a bright blue sleeping robe, Harry let out a giggle.
"I never thought you would be the type of person to walk around in their bed clothes." He said between giggles.
Dumbledore glared at Harry playfully, "It is still quite early Harry and this is my home and I believe that this is what Muggles do in their homes is it not?"
Harry smiled at his Headmaster, "It is sir but I never thought that you would be the type." Harry looked at the headmaster again, "But then again you aren't quite as sane as the rest of us."
The few that were there laughed and the rest of those staying at the castle entered into the room.
"Why do I feel as though I have missed something of great importance. Are you dying Mr. Potter?" Severus asked as he moved into his chair.
"No Severus, we're commenting on the Headmasters bedroom attire." Fillius explained through his giggles.
Severus looked over at Dumbledore and took in his attire, "Yes, well I have seen him in worse. And that worse is his everyday attire that he wears during the school year."
The two professor's and Harry let out a new set giggles with questioning look coming from Gandalf and his friends as they sat down at the table.
"What are they laughing at dear brother?" Gandalf asked.
"My choice of bed clothes." Dumbledore sniffed.
"I don't see what is so funny, you always dressed brightly even as a child, Alberforth did so as well. You were both fans of bright colours." He said folding the sleaves of his flowing robes onto his lap.
"Clothing aside, how is everyone this morning?" Aragorn asked as the plates appeared on the table for breakfast.
"Very well thank you." McGonagall replied. "And yourselves?" she asked.
"Very well, the beds were so comfortable. As were the showers we all had this morning, we have nothing like that in our realm." Legolas explained. "Once Harry showed us how to use the devices."
"Harry is going to take us to the kitchens." Merry and Pippin piped up.
Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas and Gandalf let out a laugh. "What's so funny?" Harry asked confused.
"You see, Hobbits are notorious for having many meal times. Breakfast, Elevenses, Lunch, Brunch, Dinner, Desert, Supper and a Bed time snack." Gimli explained. "And that is all in one day."
Harry and the professors looked at the two Hobbits in shock, they didn't think that anyone could hold that much food in one sitting. Not one of the professors nor Harry could come up with a response.
Merry, Pippin and Legolas let out small laughs and asked for their breakfast, breaking the silence and causing every one to become alert once more.
"What are you going to do today Harry?" Snape asked.
"Well this morning I was going to show our guests around the school grounds and the castle and then I'm yours all this afternoon. We can work with Sal on those potions."
Severus nodded, "I shall accompany you around the grounds, I have some need of a few local potion ingredients. Salazar is in the potions lab at the moment seeing if I have all of the ingredients for his potions."
"Where is Hagrid this morning Headmaster?"
"He is out in the forest feeding the Thestrals."
"I'll have to pop in and say hello, I haven't talked to him much since I've been here." Harry turned to their company, "When would you like to leave for the tour?" he asked.
"We are ready right now, it's just Merry and Pippin that are still eating, and they will take some time to finish." Aragorn explained.
"I can bring Merry and Pippin out later, once they have finished their breakfast. We shall meet you out by the lake." Gandalf offered.
"Thank you Gandalf." Legolas bowed his head and stood along with Aragorn, Gimli, Severus and Harry.
Harry led the group out of the castle, skipping happily on to the grounds where he then took off at full speed to the hut where Hagrid lived leaving those he was to show around behind him.
"Forgive his excitement, it is not often that he gets to be a child." Severus explained, "He enjoys being out side."
"What do you mean when you say that it's not often he gets to be a child?" Legolas asked.
"Aye, he looks like a child so what else can he be." Gimli agreed.
Severus shook his head, "That is not something that I can tell you, it is up to Harry if he wants to tell you." He explained and led them to where Harry was heading.
"HAGRID." Harry called out as he stopped at the hut, watching as the half giant emerged from the forest.
"'Ello there 'Arry. What are ye doin' up this early, shuldn't ye be sleepin' in like all teenage boys do."
"I woke up earlier than I usually do and was asked by the Headmaster to help our new guests learn to use the bathroom." He explained.
"Are they the guests ye be talking about?" he asked pointing behind Harry.
Harry turned to where Hagrid was pointing, "Yea that's them. They're from another dimension or something. The one with the rugged bathe me now look like Professor Snape is Aragorn." He smiled cheekily at the man, "The blonde is an elf prince by the name of Legolas, the SHORT red haired guy is a dwarf called Gimli." Harry jumped up into Hagrids arms as the dwarf came running at him with his axe.
"Get down 'ere ya scally wag so that I can hack ya down to little pieces."
Harry happily sat on Hagrids shoulder, blowing a raspberry at the dwarf, "I'm not that stupid shortie, suicidal yes, stupid no." he shot back.
"Ooh are the rest of them 'Arry?" Hagrid asked.
"There are two little ones are called Hobbits, Merry and Pippin and an old man is Dumbledores brother Gandalf and he's a wizard. We're meeting them later."
"Professor Dumbledore." Hagrid and Snape automatically corrected. Harry rolled his eyes in response.
"Got anything exciting in your possession this week Hagrid?" Harry asked.
"I 'ave sumthin' but I don't right know what it is." Hagrid explained as he opened the door of his hut to the others before entering with Harry and Fang.
Harry was confused, "How can you not know what it is Hagrid?"
"Because it hasn't hatched yet." Hagrid replied placing Harry in one of the large chairs.
"It's not another dragon is it Hagrid?"
"No 'Arry it isn't. I know me dragon eggs and it isn't one."
"Where did you get it Hagrid?" Snape asked as he poured some tea in to the large mugs.
"I found it in the forest with the Thestrals."
"Oh Hagrid." Snape and Harry groaned.
"What's the problem with him having an egg?" Aragorn asked.
"The last time Hagrid had an egg that hatched was a baby dragon that we had to send off to Romania." Harry explained the short version. Hagrid sniffled a bit. "Have you see him since Hagrid?"
"Nah I 'aven't. Bein to busy ter go and see the little tucker." Hagrid sighed sadly and took a sip of tea. Harry bounced happily in his seat causing Legolas to bounce along with him.
"I know Hagrid, my birthday is coming up soon so why don't we ask the headmaster if we could all go to Romania for a vacation and even maybe go to Egypt. I wanna see if Bill can show me a real mummy."
"Don't get yourself excited Harry, the Headmaster may and may not let you go. If he says yes then you can get all bouncy and preferably away from Legolas. He looks ill from your bouncing." Snape stated.
Harry's excited smile turned to a frown. "You had to spoil the only one good thing that I thought of from the entire time that I have been here."
Snape sighed and put his mug down, "Harry you know that I only speak the truth. You know that you cannot do much outside of these walls. But we'll talk to the headmaster once we return for lunch and then if he agrees you can send a letter to the eldest Weasleys with Fawkes alright."
"Yeah alright."
Albus hummed happily as he sucked on a new brand of Lemon Drop lolly pops that Honeydukes had specially made for him when Gandalf came into the room.
"Hello dear brother is there anything that I can do for you?"
"I went down to Hagrids while the Hobbits were still eating, these old legs needed a walk you see."
"Oh yes, I understand the feeling." Albus agreed, "And what is it that you heard brother?"
"I seems that Harry would like as all to go on a vacation to Romania and Egypt for his birthday. All he needs to do is convince you to let it happen. He was brimming with energy when he told Hagrid what he wanted to do for him."
"Ah so it was more for Hagrid then for him." Albus nodded brushing his fingers through his beard, "Such a selfless boy."
"I think that we can do this don't you Albus. All of us will be there and I think that we are more then good enough to look after the boy on his adventures. Though I don't think that we can unravel a mummy."
"What's this about a mummy?"
"Harry would like to see one. He's hoping that he can be shown one."
"I think that maybe we can do something about this. I think that Harry may just get his wish." Albus smiled and started to pen a letter to the two eldest Weasley children.
I was thinking that maybe I should get a beta reader, so if there is anyone that would like to be that beta for this story i would be very greatful.
