A/N: Sorry it has taken me so long to get this chapter, can't find my written notes and the only other place I had notes and ideas were on my old computer…I am fairly close to the notes and ideas that I have been able to find …review please…it really does help…and now on to chapter 75

An hour later all six kids headed in the house and to his or her respective rooms. They were all sure that in the morning or at least once they woke up they were going to hear it from Mrs. Weasley as they had stayed up longer then they intended to do so.

Late in the morning the twins, Ron, Ginny, Hermione and Harry made their way down to the kitchen for a late breakfast. Each expecting that at any second Mrs. Weasley was going to be chewing them out for staying up so late. To their surprise Mrs. Weasley said nothing to them in regard to how late they had stayed up. Mrs. Weasley was just thankful that the kids had in fact gone to bed since they were not still up when she, her husband and Remus had woken up and made their way to the kitchen.

That afternoon everyone was outside enjoying the good weather. The six kids played Quidditch, Fred, George and Hermione against Harry, Ron and Ginny. They only stopped when Remus insisted that they stop and have at least a little something for lunch. The rest of the day they played their game until Hermione had, had enough of being on a broom. Once inside the house Ron challenged the others to a game of Wizards Chess. Ron had done well, each round was close. The round with Hermione was the closest and that surprised everyone in the room especially Ron.

"For someone that doesn't like Wizards Chess and feels it is barbaric did better than the rest of us." Fred muttered

"How did you do that?" Asked Ron.

"You leant me your books on Wizards Chess. Oh…I promise to return them soon. I meant to return them to you when I finished them, sorry. By the time we have returned to Hogwarts I will return them."

"Oh…okay…no need to apologize Hermione, I actually forgot that I had loaned them to you. Whenever you can return them is okay." Ron said slightly blushing.

Harry was smiling as he knew what that was about, what it was really about. Fred, George and Ginny each had an identical expression of knowing. Hermione faintly blushed but smiled and only nodded as she did not trust her voice.

Harry played a few more rounds of Wizards Chess with Ron while Fred, George, Ginny and Hermione were engaged in playing a few rounds of Exploding Snap.

"Alright now all six of you get cleaned up for dinner." Mrs. Weasley said firmly.

All six reluctantly got up and headed to a bathroom to get cleaned up for dinner.

"Now I strongly suggest you all get to bed early tonight. At least earlier than last night. " Molly said sternly to the kids after dinner was finished.

They did go to bed earlier than the night before, just not by much. With how late they had slept in it was difficult for each to get to sleep, but each still feel a sleep eventually.

The following morning six sleepy kids entered the kitchen in waves. Molly could not give them a hard time, they had in deed gone to bed earlier then before even if not by much. All six kids had just finished breakfast when Hermes flew in and landed on the table and stuck out his leg. Molly quickly removed the letter and read it.

"Oh…"

"What is it dear?" Asked Arthur.

"Percy." Molly said with a scowl on her face.

"What?" Asked everyone.

"He is on his way. In fact he will be here in a few minutes. It would have been more curious to have asked and waited for an answer, but at least he sent this. I personally am not in the mood to go through his misguided opinions…"

"Nor do I. I'll just go back to the Manor." Harry said.

"I will go too." Said Hermione having no wish or desire to be in the company of Percy.

"Mum can I go with Harry and Hermione to the Manor?" Ginny asked hopeful with a hint of pleading in her voice.

"That would be fine dear. In fact, all of you go. Your father and I will be having a talk with Percy about respect, manners and courtesy."

"How are we going to manage to get all of us to the Manor? Moony a…." Ron trailed off realizing he was about to mention that Harry can apparate.

"Each adult will take two of us." Hermione said exasperated as though it was obvious as to how they would all get to the Manor.

Arthur took the twins, Molly took Hermione and Ron and Remus took Harry and Ginny.

When Arthur and Molly returned to their house Percy was there waiting.

"Didn't you receive my owl?" Percy asked confused as to why his parents were clearly returning.

"Yes Percy we did." Answered Arthur.

"So…"

"Your father and I assisted Remus with taking your siblings, Hermione and Harry to Harry's house."

"What? Why would you do that? I can't believe that you are…"

"Percy Ignatius Weasley!" Bellowed Molly.

"Hermione, Ron, Fred, George and Remus are there as well…"

"As if four children and a werewolf are proper chaperones…"

"I am really getting tired of this Percy. Your entire basis as to your opinion of Harry and what you think he will do to Ginny is moot. You know that Sirius did not know anything about Violet before…"

"But Mum…"

"But nothing Percy. Now I would appreciate it if you would stop this rubbish about Harry ruining your sister. If you can't stop and can't let it go then there is nothing more for any of us to say to each other until you can. And in the future it would more courteous to send a request and wait for a response before doing anything and not stating that you will arrive by a certain time. It is courteous to allow any Witch or Wizard to decline one's request. Yes Percy even if it is family."

"Harry has not had the best upbringing. His…"

"His Uncle yes was abusive but that does not mean that Harry will…"

"How do you know he won't?"

"Because he knows that his Aunt and Cousin did their best to help him."

"Whatever."

"You know Percy you went to school with him for a while and you did nothing to help."

"He didn't talk to me about it. He never came to me and asked for help."

"You should have noticed the signs of abuse."

"No one really knew what was going on…"

"Rubbish! Quite a few were aware of what was going on and tried to help Harry but the Minister of Magic would not place Harry in a proper environment."

"How can you blame the Minister of Magic?"

"Because he knew Harry was being abused and insisted on Harry remaining there! Fudge would not listen nor would he budge on the matter."

"No one tried hard enough…"

"Every year Dumbledore argued Harry's case with the Minister about the abuse and to move Harry to a safer place, a real home, a loving home. The Minister refused because of the protection Dumbledore had placed on the Dursley's house to keep Harry safe from He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. The Minister did not care about how Harry was being treated at the Dursley's…"

"You are making the Minister look like…"

"I am stating facts Percy. I understand that the original point was to keep Harry safe from our world, from You-Know-Who's followers but once the abuse was discovered Harry should have been placed elsewhere."

"Still…"

"Percy enough! It is time for you to leave. You may one day be welcome back here. You have your home now." Arthur said furiously.

"What do you mean by 'one day I may be welcome back here?'"

"It is simple son, once you apologize and realize that Harry is not going to ruin Ginny and everything you have accused others of doing or how one will end up doing to Ginny you will be welcome back. Until then we have nothing to say to each other."

"Is that you truly feel?"

"Yes it is." Molly and Arthur said together.

Percy puffed out his chest and stomped from the house. In the distance Molly and Arthur could hear a faint pop indicating one had just disapparated.

POTTER MANOR

The group of Witches and Wizards apparated right into the entry way to the delight of Sparky and Muri.

"Everyone staying?" Asked Muri with big, bright, excited eyes.

"No, not everyone. We have to get back." Molly said kindly to the house elf while gesturing to herself and Arthur.

A second later Molly and Arthur disappeared.

"Sparky."

"Yes Master."

"I was wondering about the Manor."

"What does Master want to know?"

"I was wondering if the Manor is sentient like Hogwarts?"

"Yes sir. It only complies with the Head of the House."

"Thank you Sparky." Harry said smiling.

"Harry what's going on?" Asked Ron.

"Well as we know Draco needs help and trying to figure out where to…finding out from Sparky that…well we'll help him here…"

"Harry, no. Not here at the Manor."

"Ron, I thought you were going to try and Give Draco a chance?" Hermione asked snippily.

"I am. I…do we really want Draco aware of the Manor just yet?"

"Ron it will be fine. Where else is there that would enable us to help Draco? Before school resumes that is. It's not like he would be able to tell anyone the location."

"You have a point. Though I am willing to try and give Draco a chance but I don't trust him."

"We know that you don't trust him. If it makes you feel better, keep an extra eye on him while he is here."

"So when do you plan on bringing him here?"

"As soon as possible. Fine Ron, I will talk to Sirius about how he feels about my idea."

"Why not go ask him now?"

Harry frowned and disapparated out of the Manor and into Grimmuald Place.

"Harry, is everything all right?" Asked Sirius and Violet.

"Yes. Well, Draco has requested my help and I intend to do so. No one wants to wait until school resumes but we, or well some of us have been trying to figure out where we could help Draco. I had a thought, first I asked Sparky about the Manor. The Manor is sentient like Hogwarts and will only complies with the Head of House. I thought I could help him at the Manor, I know I will have to give him the location of the Manor. The Manor is the only place, right now, that can accommodate what I want to do and it's safe. With the Fidelius Charm in place no one outside of all of us will know that Draco is even there or has been. Ron has his issues about it, so I am asking you what you think about my idea. Do you think I should wait and see if there is anywhere else or go ahead? Here would not be adequate…"

"Harry I feel that you are doing the right thing helping Draco. It won't do any good to wait longer, if you do there is no telling what could happen between now and when school resumes. The Manor in my opinion is the best place to do what you plan on doing when unable to use Hogwarts or the Room of Requirement any way. And Harry, the Manor is yours…"

"I know I don't need to ask anything about what goes on at the Manor. I knew you would support me, I was…"

"In a sense, humoring Ron?"

"Yes."

"How have you been enjoying your time at the Weasley's?"

"It's been interesting. Though Moony, the twins, Ron, Ginny, Hermione and I are at the Manor. Percy sent an owl stating what time he would be arriving. Mrs. Weasley is furious and sent the rest of the Weasley clan with us or well she and Mr. Weasley helped of course. Oh once Hermione sends Draco word that we have a place to help him…well I'll be meeting him here and then going on to the Manor, or well that is what I was thinking…"

"That is fine Harry. So you plan on apparating with Draco to the Manor?"

"Hadn't thought of that."

"I could assist…although if Draco were to arrive here before you…"

"Questions. I'll be right back." Harry said just before disappearing.

"So what did Sirius say?" Ron asked as soon as he noticed Harry.

"He is supportive of my idea."

"Why do I get the feeling that there is a problem?"

"Well, getting Draco here. I planned on meeting Draco at Sirius' and heading here, but Draco does not know that I can apparate and that would just bring up questions for him and I am not ready to explain all that just yet. Sure, Sirius could help but what if Draco is already there and I apparate…"

"Yeah I can see how that is a problem. So how do we accomplish getting Draco here to help without him asking questions?" Asked Ginny.

"Well, it's something that I have been thinking about for a while…I have to go to the Ministry, or well the department controlling the floo-network…"

"You're not thinking about connecting the Manor to the floo-network are you?"

"Actually I am."

"But Harry the whole point of the Fidelius Charm…"

""Ron give him a chance to explain." Hermione said irritated.

"Yes please. I would like to hear Harry's plan on how this will work out considering the Fidelius Charm." Remus added.

"Thank you. Well, I'll need the spell that Hermione uses on the letters to Draco…I think that I will be able to connect the Manor to the floo without more than one being aware of it. I plan on having the location of the Manor on piece of parchment, the writing concealed of course. Once the connection is set up I can conceal the words or destroy the piece of parchment."

"Harry I don't know…"

"Hermione, I understand your concern. I have been thinking about it for a while, off and on. It will make it so much easier to get from one place to another. Hermione, will you please tell me the spell you used on the letters to Draco?"

"Fine. It's 'Occulto ex deprehensio'. Would you like the spell to reveal what you have concealed? Or are you going to write the location on a piece of parchment at the Ministry? Honestly, you should write it down in a safe and secluded area, conceal it, and reveal the words once there. After the connection has been set up, either conceal it again and or destroy it. It would even better to modify the witch or wizards' memory of even you being there. I mean once the connection…"

"Hermione I know. I planned on writing down on a piece of parchment before I go to the Ministry and concealing it…in short I planned on doing just as you said, so yes I would like to have the reveal spell as well."

"It's 'fateor'. Harry do be careful. We would all go with you with how the Minister has been but it would attract too much attention."

"I know. Well, I'm going back to Grimmuald Place to see if Sirius is up to escorting me to and through the Ministry." With a crack harry was once again in the living room of his Godfathers'.

"Harry, back again?"

"I need to go the Ministry of Magic. I really need to go as soon as possible."

"Why do you need to go to the Ministry of Magic?"

"It will make it easier to help Draco. It will also prevent any questions that I am not ready to answer."

"What exactly are you going to do at the Ministry?"

"Connecting the Manor to the floo- network. I have thought about it and I do have a plan that won't undo what we did with the Fidelius Charm."

Harry explained in detail of his plan at seeing the look on his Godfathers' face. Once Harry finished, Sirius was okay with the plan but only barely. He was not sure about it still but Harry was confident that it would be all right and it would truly help with getting Draco to the Manor without revealing that Harry could apparate and that he had gone back in time.

"And you want to go now?"

"Yes, but if…"

"Well, do what you have to do first and then we will go. I'm still not sure about this but as it has to do with Draco's safety I suppose we could try. I could always modify memories."

"I know how to, not that I have casted a memory charm before."

"Modifying memories will only be as a last resort aside from the one that should be done."

Harry smiled, summoned a quill, a bottle of ink and a small bit of parchment. He quickly wrote the location of the Manor as well as allowed links to other places.

"Ready?" Sirius asked when harry vanished the quill and bottle of ink.

"Yeah. Are we apparating near the Ministry or taking Muggle transportation? I know where the visitors' entrance is."

"That won't be necessary. I have recently added the Ministry to allowed links from here; we will be using the floo network."

"That is a relief, I was afraid it was going to be an all-day thing."

Once Sirius and Harry both emerged from one of the fireplace's they made their way to the department controlling the floo-network.

"Hello, how may I help you?" Asked the witch at the desk once Harry and Sirius entered.

Sirius took a seat near the door as Harry walked up to the desk.

"Yes, I would like to connect my house to the floo-network and set up allowable links."

"Only the Head of House can do that."

"I know that and that is what I want to do."

"Then it will be awhile before you can as I don't see how one so young could be the Head of House…"

"I assure you that he is the Head of House. He is the only living person of the family line. I am his Godfather. As his Godfather and an adult I am telling you that he is able to do as he wishes here. It wouldn't take long to retrieve the information necessary to confirm what has been said. It is actually simple if he is not the Head of House then it will not work."

"It would be a waste of time."

"Miss, shall I speak with your superior?"

"Oh very well, what is the location of said house and the list of allowable links?"

Harry pulled out the piece of parchment, tapped it with is wand as he quietly said "fateor" and handed it to the Witch at the desk.

She looked over the piece of parchment and began to activate the connection and add the allowable links. To her surprise it all went through just fine.

Harry quickly reached over the desk and grabbed the piece of parchment and concealed what he had written on it and shoved in a pocket. The witch was distracted by what Harry had done with the piece of parchment that she did not see Sirius pull out his wand and cast the memory charm. Harry smirked as he watched the witches' eyes go out of focus and refocus.

"Thank you Miss you have been quite helpful. Good day to you." Sirius said as he quickly ushered Harry out the door, around a few corners and then apparated to the living room of Sirius'.

"Well that was…" Sirius started but stopped as he could find a thing to explain what it was.

"I know. At least it's done. How long will it take for the connection to be ready…"

"It should be automatic. But I would advise that you go to the Manor, floo here and then floo back."

"Okay. Um Sirius, can I barrow some floo powder? I don't know if there is any at the Manor now that I think about it."

"I am sure that Sparky would know where some is, but in case there isn't any by all means take some with you and do not even think about replacing it or replacing it for that matter."

"Okay." Harry said chuckling before grabbing a small hand full and putting it a container to take with him and apparated back to the Manor.

Harry was delighted that the floo connection was already working. Now he just had to get word to Draco.

"Hermione."

"Yes Harry."

"The floo connection is up, we need to let Draco know that we are able to help him before school resumes due to discovering a place that we can work on helping him and that I will meet him at Sirius' in the morning."

"What time?"

"I don't know what would be a good a time for him to leave his sanctuary. I am inclined to agree to whatever time works for Draco."

Hermione walked off, up the stairs to the library and wrote the note. Once finished she found an owl and sent off with the note.

MALFOY MANOR: ATTIC

As lunch time passed Draco jumped at hearing a pecking sound. He quickly looked around with wand at the ready. He sighed and shook his head as he noticed the sound was coming from a window and there was an owl pecking at the window. Draco got up, walked over to the window, opened it and the owl flew in and landed on the couch. Draco walked over and took the piece of parchment and read:

Draco,

Harry has discovered a place that would allow us to help you before school resumes. He would like to meet you at Sirius' tomorrow morning. Though we are not sure what would be a good time for you to leave your sanctuary, so we will agree to whatever time best suits you. Please let us know so that Harry can be there to escort you to where we will be helping you.

Hermione

Draco quickly wrote out his reply, gave the owl some bits from lunch, attached his reply and after the owl flew out the window he closed it. He sat back down on the couch and couldn't believe that of all the witches and wizards that could help were the ones that were helping him. Draco wondered as to how Harry discovered this place that would allow them to help. He sat straight up on the couch and thought about how he would be able to get to Sirius'. He was so relieved that he would be working on protecting himself that he had not processed that in order to get to Sirius' he would have to leave the sanctuary of the attic to use the floo. He thought about calling for Rosie to have her bring his mother and see if she could help him reach the fireplace and then he remembered Dobby.

"Dobby."

-crack-

"You's call Dobby?" Asked terrified, shaking elf.

"Yes I did Dobby. I need your help."

"How can Dobby help? Do you need me to get a message to Harry Potter?"

"No. I need to get to Sirius Blacks' tomorrow. I will be meeting Harry there. I said I would be there at ten in the morning. I hadn't thought about how I would get there safely. So, I was wondering if you could come here tomorrow and take me to Sirius Blacks'?"

"Yes sir, Dobby takes you tomorrow."

"Thank you Dobby and yes you may go. I know you don't like being here so I really appreciate your help."

Dobby bowed and left as quickly as he could.

POTTER MANOR

Harry and Hermione paced the library waiting for Draco's reply. Both were deep in thought and did not notice any one entering the Library.

"This just arrived. I assume it is for you and Harry as it is unreadable to the rest of us." Remus said.

Both Harry and Hermione jumped at the sound of Remus' voice.

"Sorry did not mean to give either of you a fright."

"It's okay Moony. Thank you for bringing this to me."

"Not a problem. You are doing the right thing in helping Draco."

As Remus left the library Hermione quickly read the note.

"So what does he say?"

"He will meet you at Sirius' at ten tomorrow."

"I wonder how he will be arriving. You don't think that he will get caught trying to floo, do you?"

"I don't know. I hope not if that is the method he uses. Although, it could be likely that he could talk to his mum and maybe she will apparate him there, but then again that dangerous for Narcissa. Shall I send another note asking how he is getting to Sirius'?"

"Hang on. Dobby."

-crack-

"Harry Potter."

"Dobby, I'm supposed to meet Draco Malfoy at Sirius' tomorrow…."

"Dobby be bringing Mas…Draco to Grimmuald Place tomorrow. He ask and I say I will."

"Thank you so much Dobby."

Dobby smiled, bowed low and disappeared with a crack.

"Thank Merlin."

"I agree Hermione. At least we know that he won't be jeopardizing his safety to get to Sirius'. We all need to get to bed early tonight."

"So what exactly are you going to attempt to teach him tomorrow? I mean, we haven't exactly been working on what we will be helping him with, or well what you will be helping him with. Hermione you are the brightest witch I know, you will be a great help. And I am not just talking about research."

Hermione could only smile.

Both quickly went down the stairs and into the kitchen for a bit of lunch. After lunch Harry and Hermione went exploring through the Manor. They both walked down the hall that at the end were two doors, one led to the chamber for Remus during the full moon and the other led to a small study or office. Harry had yet to explore that room. They reached the end of the hall and faced the door. Harry was hesitant, not knowing what to expect or what he would find. Being not ready, he hoped that there wasn't a portrait of his parent's weather together or individually. He took a deep breath and tried to open the door expecting that he wouldn't be able to gain access. The door opened freely at the touch of hand. It was dark in the room, Harry apprehensively walked through the door way and as he snapped his fingers he said 'illuminate'. The room lit up nicely. He looked around, there were quite a few portraits on the walls, a couple bookcases, a solid oak desk with a black leather chair sitting behind it where one would sit while at the desk, there were a few other black leather chairs on the other side of the desk, there was fairly long black leather couch as well, there was also a fireplace that matched the one in the living room. At closer inspection behind the desk it appeared that there was a door. Harry cautiously but curiously walked over to the door. He wrapped his hand around the handle and gave it a turn. The door opened to reveal a small room with a few doors, doors that lead to who knows what.

On the left were two doors. Harry opened the door closest to find several jewels, some sitting alone others made into rings, necklaces, pendants, earrings and bracelets and several rare stones. Harry closed the door and moved on to the second door on the wall. Once inside this room all that there was to be seen were several file cabinets. Harry being curious opened a drawer of one of the file cabinets to his right and pulled out a file with the name 'McGillus' had been written on the tab. He opened the file to discover that his relatives had loaned this Wizard several Galleons one more than one occasion and was reimbursed each time. He put the file back and took out another one, he paid no attention to the name on the tab and opened the file to find that this Wizard or Witch purchased property, the next file documented rental arrangements until paid in full, others had documents of rentals that were still being paid on. After putting the current file back Harry closed the drawer, turned around to get Hermione to leave.

"Harry, you have to see this. It's actually funny."

"What?"

"It has to do with the Malfoy's."

"What?"

"The Potter's have known the Malfoy's for a long time. A really long time, I would say that both families got along. There are several files under the name of Malfoy including Abraxis and Lucius. Your family loaned the Malfoy's money several times. The Malfoy's have been renting property from your family; some have actually paid for property others still owe. "

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. Lucius is a bit presumptuous in calling the place Malfoy Manor. It is not paid for at present time. Lucius inherited the house when Abraxis died and if he wanted to keep the place Lucius accepted the debt. The last payment that was made to your family was before your Grandfather died. It would appear that since your father did not claim anything, Lucius deemed it not worthy to continue making the payments. According to the contract that if there is just one living Potter weather he or she claimed or not payments must still be paid. If not…well let me say that you have a few choices, one of which is to evict them. Lucius is legally bound to make the payments he has not made, you can demand the amount in full. You do not have to honor the details of the contract since he has not made any payments. If you so choose to allow the Malfoy's to keep the place then you can not only demand in full the past payments not paid but also demand that Lucius signs a form with Gringotts allowing Gringotts to transfer the payment amount form the Malfoy vault to the Potter vault each month until paid in full. In some ways I would rather they find alternative living space, but the advantages of allowing them to stay would be quite informative. Can you imagine the humiliation Lucius would have to face over it all?"

"That would be a sight to see since he has been bragging about owning my Manor for several years. I think that I just might demand past payments in full and then offer to allow them to continue to make payments until paid in full if that is what they want. A pureblood indebted to a half-blood that according to them hangs out with blood-traitors and…"

"Mudbloods alike? It's okay Harry you can say it since I know for a fact that you do not mean anything by it."

"How far back does the association with my family and the Malfoy's?"

"Ages, the only way to find out exactly how long one would have to have these documents and tracing through the tapestry in the parlor. I wonder what happened as to why the Potter's and the Malfoy's became bitter towards each other."

"I could ask the portrait of Harrison."

"It may not be likely that we will ever find out."

"Doesn't really matter. Let's go."

Harry and Hermione left the room and faced the wall behind them. The wall appeared to completely blank.

"What was that? I thought I saw something shimmer on the wall."

"Hermione…" Harry trailed of as he thought he saw a shimmer flutter along the wall.

Harry cautiously walked towards the wall, the closer he came to the wall he started to think that he and Hermione were imagining things but then he caught a ripple glide over the wall.

"Harry do you feel that?"

"What did it feel like to you?"

"A surge of magic, a strong surge of magic."

Harry did not know what compelled him to do it but he reached out a hand and placed his palm on the wall. Suddenly an archway in Gryffindor colors appeared along with natural solid oak double doors. Curiosity getting the better of Harry he lightly pushed on the doors. The doors slowly swung open to a large area that could handle about half the population at Hogwarts.

"Harry this is where we will be able to help Draco. Would be able to practice spells and such and not worry about any damage. .."

"It reminds me of the Room of Requirement. There is a difference though. The doors appeared at the touch of my hand, you don't have to have a great need for it…"

"Harry come look at some of these books. There are some really rare books here."

Harry walked over shaking his head. It never ceased to amuse him at how engrossed Hermione was with books.

"What do you have there?"

"This book is detailed about and old, ancient type of magic. I have only gone over a few pages but there are things in this book that Hogwarts does not teach. It doesn't seem to be anything horrible. Hogwarts may not be aware of this."

"How can that be possible?"

"I suppose I should have said that Hogwarts or well the Ministry is not sure of what is contained here. Harry, this explains in detail about the bursts of magic you've had."

Harry took the book out of Hermione's hands and started looking through it. Hermione snickered and pulled another book from the shelf.

"Harry."

"Huh?"

"This here is not an ordinary book. It's a journal but I can't make out the owner of it. It's not in a language that I am real familiar with, but yes I can decipher it. It will take some time though so you will have to be unbelievably patient."

"Can you make out anything?"

"I am not positive but I think it has to do with time travel."

"What?"

"I am only guessing Harry, I am not positive if I am translating correctly, but it appears that whoever wrote in this traveled through time, I know for a fact that, that word is potion…Harry if I can decipher this entire journal, you could in fact go back to your time. If nothing else this could be really useful in potions. We might be able to find out what you did that caused the explosion and sent you back."

"How long do you think it would take you to decipher it?"

"I don't know, but I do know that it won't be an easy task. First I need to find out exactly what language it's written in. I should say languages. There is more than one. The owner of this journal clearly did not want anyone to be able to decipher his documentation of his experiences, or well not quickly any way. It will defiantly take a while to decipher everything in here. The only guaranteed time I would have to work on it would be during the holidays providing I am able to get ahead in assignments."

"I don't know about you, but I'm starving. And yes Hermione you may take the journal with you. Just do not lose it. I wouldn't want it to fall into the wrong hands."

"Harry when I have I ever lost anything?"

"I know, I just…"

Harry and Hermione left the room and made their way to the kitchen.

That night Harry insisted that everyone get to bed early. He wanted everyone wide awake when he returned with Draco.

As Harry became comfortable he had a thought and sat straight up on his bed.

"Sparky."

-crack-

"Yes Master."

"I know that when we all arrived here we had to identify ourselves at the gate. Tomorrow I will be bringing someone here through the floo network and he hasn't ever been here that I know of…"

"Sparky know how to help."

"Go on." Harry said and then listened intently to what Sparky had to say.

"Thank you Sparky, you may go. Oh one last thing, I need to be up by eight so that I can get ready to go and I would like breakfast to be ready. Oh and make sure that everyone else is up…or well that at least they are in the kitchen having breakfast by nine-thirty. I should be back with a friend just after ten."

"Yes Master. Sparky do as you say." With a crack Sparky was gone.

Seconds after Sparky left Harry passed out.

A/N: I hope to habe the next chapter up soon, I am aiming for next week.
