Sunday morning

As I wake up I notice both girls are latched onto me. I then try and wiggle downwards but I can't because at the end of the bed is Noir, Nala and smoke all curled up together, I guess owners like pets. I call out in the air "Maggie?"

"Yes master?"

"Why are the 2 other cats here?"

"Well they watched you a few times you go into your boxes to move around and where pawing at them so I decided to add a doggy door on them."

"That worked?"

"I think they proved it master."

"Yes, yes they did."

"Would you like breakfast here or are you going to eat in the great hall?"

"I think we will go to the hall."

"But can you do me a favor and show the elf's here what I like for lunch and dinner and have them put some on the table at lunch and dinner near us.

"It will be done."

The entire time I was talking to Maggie the girls where giving me big hugs and burying their heads into my chest groaning. I think I woke them up by talking to Maggie. Well we need to get up anyways so it doesn't matter.

After that I got up and started to strip and get changed for a day of exploring, so I got a set of robes that where durable. They weren't fancy because we bought some knowing we would need some for Herbology. If you're wondering why I am stripping in front of the girls, it's because I had little to no modesty before I became a kid again. and since there is nothing sexual with them it doesn't matter to me. Plus when we go at it sparring with our strength we do rip our clothes a lot when grappling. Thats why we learned a lot of household charms. The clothes mending one works great on our old stuff we wear for sparring. I know this will be awkward later in life when we are stronger and I get ahold of one of their sports bra's and tear it. All three of us go no holds bar at each other all the time. With the magic flooding our bodies from our conscious flooding of it our bodies are getting tougher and stronger and it takes more to harm it. But at the same time we are stronger and faster so we still injure each other, luckily that's why I have put so much time into healing. I don't want to have to go to our parents or have them ask questions when we are hurt. So because of this I can fix cuts, reduce bruises and even mend some bones that have simple breaks. The girls then proceed to just walk past me because this is normal other than them walking out the door then getting popped to their house in the morning. I'm pretty sure I have killed there sense of nudity taboo long ago lol.

After they left and I have changed I head to the washrooms and brush my teeth. When I get back and wait for the girls I sit down with the kitties and pet and scratch their ears. They especially love it when I run magic through my hand while rubbing there heads. I want them never to feel neglected from us. Plus I love how long and fluffy smokes tail is, and half the time she has it in her mouth and its very adorable.

When the door opens it's the girls and we head for the common room. When we enter we find only two of the younger students in the room looking at some books. I pause and remember about the board games. I tell the girls to wait for a bit and I run to go get a pile of them from my trunk. When I come back I put the pile down in the center of the room and both kids are looking at me, I tell them to enjoy and we head out the door to head to the hall. The board games I left there are:

Monopoly
Risk
Normal Chess
Catan (came out this year)
Battleship
Scrabble
Clue
Trivial Pursuit
Yahtzee
Go
Guess Who
Sorry
Boggle
and finally a pack of UNO

The common room should be a lot more fun with those sitting there. I wonder what the purebloods will think of Battleship and Risk lol.

As we head to the hall I double check and see if tickling the pear works for the kitchens. Well sure did the painting swings open and all the elves are staring at me.

"I was just wondering instead of pumpkin juice can you have a pitcher of 2% milk and some hot water and tea and orange juice."

"Of course we can."

"Thank you very much."

We continue on our way to the hall, I am so glad they can do that I don't want pumpkin for everything its way to sweet. A nice glass of milk or OJ in the morning along with a tea for afterwards is just what I need. I'm sure other people will appreciate it otherwise their teeth will fall out.

When we enter the great hall we head straight to our table. There are no other people there but there are a few at Ravenclaw. No Slytherin or Gryffindor's have shown, a quick tempus shows its 7:00 am. As we sit down my milk, OJ and hot water appear. I quietly say thank you to the air. Next some eggs over easy, toast and bacon show up. When nothing else shows up I ask if they can get me some marmalade. And some just popped up. "Maybe some peanut butter also?" a jar of it pops up in-between all three of us. I love peanut butter on my toast as it melts into it. And when you have that you just need a large glass of milk to wash it down. Tomorrow I will ask if they can make pancakes or waffles. I think they will make anything reasonable just that no one asks.

After 20 min of us just sitting there enjoying the quiet and finishing my breakfast I was just going to start my tea. The two other kids showed up and they let me know that they told the other people that I had brought the board games and everyone says thank you. As they sat down they were about to get some pumpkin juice before they saw what we had and one asked for the milk and the other asked for the OJ. As soon as they said that the pumpkin was replaced with that in front of them. They looked awed but I just let them know to ask and thank the air when you wanted something and got it. They looked at me funny and when it happened they were shocked. I think I made the house elf's day with doing that for them. The students on the other hand think the castles alive I think. Some of the Ravenclaws looked over and asked if they could have some tea. It happened for them also and I said "if you need some tea at a meal just ask the air and it will appear." I wanted to see how long it will take them to try something else. The puffs will know about the house elves by the time I'm done in the morning.

As I was sitting there just enjoying the morning while looking at the ceiling and the nice sky we had today, I looked up to the head table and saw what assumed was some of the staff of the school. If I hadn't mentioned it yet Pomona Sprout does not look like she does in the movies. She looks a lot thinner and not as frumpy looking, she more looks like a well-aged woman in her 40's that's out landscaping a lot. Meaning that she has hard muscle and is not flabby it must be from all the work with troublesome plants. I can now understand why in some stories they have Neville drooling over her. The others look all the same that are here, just a bit different but none of them look old like the head master.

That means that he either has a glamor on or the death stick might be unbeatable but might steal a person's life span or health for the power it gives. I hope in this world the master of death means nothing, because I don't want an immortal harry potter running around. Maybe I will just snap the death stick when he falls from the tower. Best not to let that nonsense happen, especially if I have a chance to stop it.

After we are done with the tea I ask the girls if they want to go walk around and see the place. But just after we leave the hall we take out a parchment and cast a simple mapping spell. This is not the marauders map, nor will it make one this is just a map made for magical construction to map the inside of a building when you walk around. It gives exact measurements and scaled drawing is drawn. But it only maps places that are visually seen by you as you walk. This won't show any secrets unless you already know them. But what it will do is tell you a room 4m x5m is actually and expanded space of 1m x 2m. So this will at least give us a layout of the school but just not the stairs that move (dumbest idea). So as we went around the first floor we went everywhere and tried to open all the doors. Some lead to broom closets some to classrooms. We did this again for all floors up to the 7th. With regards to the 3rd floor corridor we went to the door we just didn't open it. When I finally found a painting of some dancing trolls I stopped. I told the girls that this was our secret, and then proceeded to walk back and forth thinking of a room that held all the things in the RoR. A door then appeared and all 3 of us walked in. the room was HUGE. And I mean huge it just kept going and there was everything from what looked like crumpled paper to giant statues.

"Mark what is this place?" Halley asked.

"It's called the come and go room and its where all the objects that are lost or the elves don't know what to do with anymore are stored."

"You mean no one owns this?"

"Nope. So that means I am going to have Maggie move it all to our house."

"But we don't have room!"

"Well with the mining spell I was going to start to dig down 20m and then start making a vast network under the house. The mining book also has "Air Freshening Runes" and spells for illuminating the tunnels. So my idea was to just make a number of tunnels under the house deep enough down to keep everything stable that was above it. And since its tunnels it will be structurally sound since I am not making a giant space. After that I will do space expansion charms all over. Finally I will ask Maggie if there are trunks here with expanded insides that we can use to store more in. All in all I'm sure it will take her the full year to move everything. But it will take us years to go through everything that's here."

"Well I guess this will be interesting to look through."

"This could help our money issues Mark. I wonder what this would all sell for even in the muggle world?" said Hermione.

"Maggie"

"Yes Master…" she slowly spun around and looked where she was.

"I want you to move everything here to our house but I first want you to find all the expanded trunks and related things and empty them and then bring them here into a pile. Also put all the non-expanded trunks in a pile so I can expand them all too their max. After that call me and we will decide what goes where and what we should place in the trunks. Also if an item is able to be repaired by a repairo spell put it in another pile because I can cast that and then have it moved into an appropriate section. On the weekends the girls and I are going to make a lot of room under the house to store all this so we can place it there. Also anything that feels dark or dangerous please don't touch it and put it in another pile by its self. We won't be taking those unless I can remove the spells or curses."

"Master I won't be able to get this all done for a long time and with all the other things you want me handling, I am going to finally need help."

"Yes Maggie you can invite more elves. And in the future just bring them to me or the girls if you ever find someone that needs a new master. I'm sure from now on I can keep you all busy just make sure to spread the load of the bond over all of us. Because before you let me know that I shouldn't have been able to keep one of you sustained. I don't want that to happen so just let us know how many we can handle."

"Oh don't worry master with the power you and the mistresses have now it would be no issue for you 3 to have 30 elves in total with no drain on your powers that would be noticeable, just with a little longer recharge time till you magic got used to it."

"Really?"

"Of course master as I told you before you are very powerful, same with the mistresses."

"Ok then, Maggie just stay on top of it and let me know if you need something."

"Thank you master. You won't regret it master."

"Umm Mark are you sure that was wise?"

"What do you mean Hermione?"

"Well what if she actually gets 30 elves! I want to help them have nice lives but what are they going to do?"

"Well we are going to start renovating houses."

"Yes but that won't take all 30 of them unless you want it done in a weekend!"

"Well I wouldn't mind that but my bigger idea is that the money we make from the renovating will go into buying an island in Fiji."

"And what are you going to do with an island in Fiji?"

"Well that's easy I am going to make it our new home for when we leave here in our 5th year."

"Ok but that doesn't explain why we need an island and what the 30 elves are going to do."

"Well the reason I want the island is that I plan to put anti portkey and apparition wards over the whole thing and out 100m into the water. This is so if any wizards come looking for us they will need a boat or use a broom. The next reason is that if everything goes wrong in the world we have our own place that is legal in the mundane world and it won't be as suspicious if it was to just disappear. Next I will put up muggle repelling wards to keep people away. I want to build a nice house there where we can research and grow in private. Also I plan to put many magically expanded greenhouses there. I want to grow anything I can think of from magical to non-magical plants. This will let the elf's do something to keep them occupied. Then I want to teach them how to make potions. But only potions that are made from stuff we can grow ourselves or animals we can raise using the carriers as an idea. I plan to buy one more and break it all down and make lots of them for us. That will make our island self-sufficient and won't look odd to muggle satellites. Because by now there must be pictures of it and I have yet to learn the fidelius charm."

"wow." They both said in unison.

"And you want this place for just us?" asked Hermione.

"Of course I always want you guys with me I told you guys this."

Both girls looked pleased as I said this.

Just then another young elf popped in with Maggie and looked around.

"Are you Mark Holding that is Maggie's master?"

"Yes I am."

Maggie then popped in beside him.

"Master this is Tully. He has been waiting to meet you since I told him about you and wanted to join your family."

"Hello there Tully did you want to become my elf also?"

"Yes please. I have been so lost without my old master since he died a few years ago and I have been working here."

"Well I would love to have you work for me. Has Maggie told you what I expect and some of the perks we give her?"

"Yes sir I can't wait to be able to do all those crafts and such."

"Why don't you do that already?" asked Halley.

"It's because no one buys us anything to use master. We don't want to impose by asking the head master to deputy."

After that we bonded and I expect that Maggie will be showing up with elves randomly from now on. I don't see and issue with this it's just something I have to get used to. Then we walked out again and the door then closed and disappeared behind us. I then turned and wanted to try something and hoped it worked. In my mind I kept repeating "a library that has every book that's been in Hogwarts but that are not magical". I did this 3 times and hoped it would come true. This would let us copy any book that has been in Hogwarts but without spells protecting them even ones from the restricted section since it was created. This would be the biggest cheat. Only issue is that it would take forever to copy them even with the book copying book that Halley made. And even then to read them all, let alone know where a book I need to know something in is. But at least I can start and maybe get them sorted and learn some library charms. There has to be some of those or worst comes to worst hire a squib or to or get the elves to do it using Dewey decimal classification. Now that would take a lot of work and keep them busy.

As I opened the door I saw endless rows of books reaching so high. I walked up to one book and pulled it out and flipped through it and could not read this old Latin book. Well that's that I love this, now to try and see if there's a book on how to make a RoR or the ceiling in the great hall.

As we went back out I tried for the RoR book but nothing happened. I then tried to the ceiling and low and behold I got it! There in the center of the room was a thick text that looked to be written in Gaelic. Well this just means I have more languages to learn to be able to read all these books. I copied that one right now so I wouldn't have to do this again. Well at least one of the things I wanted work. It would have been nice to have a RoR but maybe the school built it over time as more and more magic flowed into her.

After finally having done all 7 floors of the school we had 7 sheets of paper with a map of the school on it. It might not have all the rooms but it was at least a basic layout and I could post it on the wall in the common room for everyone. Since it was noon we headed back to the hall to get some lunch. And thanks to Maggie when I sat down I had a nice maki and California set in front of me and the girls. Before I could take a bite Susan Bones sat down beside me.

"Hi Mark I'm Susan. I just wanted to say thanks for the board games, none of us thought of that."

"No problem. I didn't know what we were going to be able to do at the school other than study and I thought to myself I should pack them."

"You were smart to pack them, right now all of them are being used in the common room. Half the people have never played some but find them interesting. By the way what's that?"

"Oh this is my lunch I normal eat. It's good for you and isn't fatty like most English food."

"Yes I can see that but what is it and what's that black sauce?"

"Well to be put simply its different versions of sushi, it's a food from japan."

"Can I try some?"

"Sure go ahead just lightly dip it into the sauce not too much."

"mmmm its different but good. What's in it?"

"Just raw salmon, rice and wrapped in seaweed."

"What!" as she almost looked like she wanted to spit it out.

"Don't spit it out, you just said its good. A whole country eats this just keep eating. I found the idea of eating English food all the time here sad so I asked the kitchens to prepare some food I like. Maybe some people will ask for it also. I did the same for breakfast."

"That was you who got them to have milk at the table along with tea and OJ. None of the other tables had that except for Ravenclaw they had tea. I could see in the other people's eye froms the other tables they wondered why we had it."

"Yep that was me I don't like pumpkin juice and asked the kitchens for that. If the other tables want it they can always ask. Just don't tell them let's see how long it takes for them to try asking."

"hehehe, ok Mark that sounds funny."

Slowly over lunch more and more people from the house came over and thanked me for bringing the games and while they were over tried the maki since they were small and bite sized. I think my plate got refilled 3 times lol. I liked the fact that they at least tried the new food. I was worried that they wouldn't even try it.

After that we went back to exploring the school and trying every door and ones that opened we went in and looked then labeled it on the map of what it was. This continued until dinner and tonight I had spaghetti and meat sauce. Yet again I don't know why it wasn't there to begin with but I enjoyed it. Again more people took some so more started showing up around the table so people didn't need to ask for some.

After dinner the whole house had gone back down to the common room when we got there I went up to a blank wall and put the pieces of paper on the wall with a sticking charm, they showed all 7 floors of the school with the rooms we found. All the first years thanked us and the older years said they wish they could have had this when they were first years. Even Pomona Sprout said it was a good idea and thanked us.

We then sat down and played a game of Scrabble with some others in the common room at 9:00 we headed for bed to get ready. After we were all ready, the girls showed up in my room. We then spent the night chatting and decided to get Maggie to wake us up early so we could practice our TK and Krav Maga in the morning in one of the carriers. It was a nice big area to practice in where no one was looking at us.
