Chapter Thirty-Two
HARRY'S POV
As I walk towards the front of the bank, a goblin stops me and says, "Griphook would like to see you, Lord Potter."
I nod and follow him to Griphook's office. When I get there, I notice Griphook is smirking. I ask, "Who is getting destroyed?"
"That would be Albus Dumbledore. It seems Heir Malfoy was right to be worried about his friend Blaise Zabini. It appears that Dumbledore has sealed his mate bond so Heir Zabini couldn't tell who his mate was. I have given them the portkey to Gryffindor Castle."
I nod. "Wonderful. Did a healer need to remove the block?"
Griphook shook his head. "The block placed on Heir Zabini was different from yours. The one placed on you was suppose to last forever. The one on Heir Zabini needs to be renewed every year. Our assumption is that Dumbledore doesn't want any of the magical races at the school to find their mates until after they graduate. We also assume he never wants you to find your mate."
I sigh. "I already figured that part about me out. I have to go back and tell the others about Lady Zabini and Blaise."
Griphook nods, and gives me copies of their inheritance tests. I go back to Gryffindor Castle. When I arrive, I find everyone at the dinning table eating lunch. I clear my throat and say, "I have some news."
Everyone turns to me, and I continue, "It seems Draco was right to be worried about Blaise. Griphook has given him and his mom the portkey. They should be here soon. According to Griphook, he sent them to pack some things before they came here. He also gave me copies of their inheritance tests."
Everyone nods. I sit down at the table and start to eat my lunch as well. We are half-way through lunch when I hear people talking in the living room. "It seems we have guests."
I go to the living room and see Blaise with his mom.
Chapter Thirty-Three
HARRY'S POV
"Welcome, Lady Zabini and Heir Zabini."
Lady Zabini smiles at me and says, "Thank you for giving us a safe place to go, Lord Potter."
I do not correct her about my lordships. I look at Blaise and say, "Follow me. Everyone else is waiting at the dining table."
We went and sat at the dining table. I ask, "Blaise, what did your inheritance test show?"
Blaise got an angry look on his face. "Dumbledork has blocked my mate bond, so I can't find them. According to the inheritance test, my mate is Viktor Krum."
I think for a moment. "I will have to get ahold of him along with Fleur Delecour."
We eat and make small talk. After I'm done eating, I go to my study and make the letters to the mates. I look at Hedwig and ask, "Do you think you could make two long trips at once?"
Hedwig glares at me as if to say I insulted her. I laugh and say, "Okay, girl. I need you to take these to Fleur Delecour and Viktor Krum."
Hedwig bobs her head once and flies off. After a few minutes, I see nine owls make their way into my study. They drop their loads and fly straight out. I pick up the first parchment and open it.
Dear Harry Potter,
I am intrigued by your letter. I am available to meet you on the appointed date. It will be interesting to see what you want/need from us vampires.
Vincent Batling
Leader of Batling Coven
I smile and reach for the next one. I can't believe the vampires have accepted to meet me so easily. I hope the others are good news too. I read the parchment.
Dear Harry Potter,
You have piqued my interest. I'll see you on the appointed date.
Bardou Howell
Leader of Howell Pack
I can't believe my luck. On to the next on, and the next one. I kept reading them all. I was relieved when I saw that the leaders and the headnasters/headmistresses agreed to meet with me. I would meet the three leaders in two more days and the headmasters/headmistresses in three more days.
?'S POV
I was sitting on my bed moping when an owl flies into my room. It lands on my bed and drops a letter before continuing on its journey. I opened the letter and read it.
Dear Fleur Delacour,
I don't know if you remember me from the Tri-Wizard Tournament. My name is Harry Potter. Recently, some truths have become known. I have enclosed a copy of your mate's inheritance test and a portkey for you and your family to join me in a safe haven. Before you do, I think you should visit the French branch of Gringotts and get an inheritance test done as well.
The activation word is 'Sanctuary'. You may bring your family.
Sincerely,
Harry Potter
I couldn't believe what I was reading. I quickly run out of my room and go to my parents to talk about this.
?'S POV
I was on my way home from quidditch practice when a snow white owl flew towards me. I hold out my hand, and it drops a letter before it flies off. I continue to walk home and greet my parents. I tell them about the letter. We decide to read the letter together.
Hey Viktor,
It's Harry. I know I'm late on my letter to you but a lot has been going on over here. I have included a portkey to a safe haven where I am at. The activation word is 'Sanctuary'. You may bring your parents if they wish to come.
Before you come, you need to know I found your mate you were telling me about in your last letter.
Sincerely,
Harry Potter
Chapter Thirty-Four
VIKTOR'S POV
My parents look at me, and my father asks, "What mate?"
I sheepishly pull out a parchment that I've been keeping with me for a few months now. I give it to my parents and say, "This is my inheritance test. I've been trying to figure out how to tell you."

My parents read my inheritance test and look at me. My mother asks, "Why were you trying to find someway to tell us?"
I blush and say, "I wasn't sure if you would be okay with me being a submissive."
My parents smile at me. My father says. "Son, we are talking about your mate here. I would love you even if you were going to be submissive to a woman. Your mate is the most important thing in the world."
I smile and ask, "Does that mean you guys will come with me?"
My parents nod, and my mother says, "We just have to pack some things."
We went our separate ways to pack. After an hour, we were ready to go. We all took hold of the portkey and say, "Sanctuary."
HARRY'S POV
It is around eleven o'clock at night when I felt the wards tell me someone was in the portkey room. I get up and go there to find Viktor with his parents. I smile and say, "It's nice to see you again, Viktor."
I look at his parents and say, "It is wonderful to meet you Lord and Lady Krum."
Viktor smiles at me and asks, "Is my mate still up?"
I shake my head and say, "No. Everyone else went to sleep. I should tell you guys a few things before I show you to your rooms. Also, Fleur and her family might decide to come."
I explain to them everything tha's been going on for the last few weeks. When I am done, Lord and Lady Krum look like they are ready to kill someone. I show them to their rooms and decide to go to bed.
FLEUR'S POV
The next morning, my parents and my sister accompany me to the French branch of Gringotts. My dad walks up to the nearest teller and says, "We need to talk to account manager Tigertooth, Ripcage."
The goblin says, "One minute."
He get down from his seat and goes into a hallway. After a few minutes, he returns with another goblin. Ripcage says, "This is Riptide. He'll take you to Tigertooth."
We bow to Ripcage and follow Riptide to Tigertooth's office. Riptide knocks on the door, and a voice says, "Come in."
Riptide opens the door and says, "Lord Delacour and his family are here to see you, Account Manager Tigertooth."
Tigertooth says, "Let them in."
Riptide stands aside and allows us into the office. Tigertooth asks, "What can I do for you todaay, Lord Delacour?"
My father says, "My daughter Fleur would like to take an inheritance test."
Tigertooth nods and produces a parchment. "Place three drops of blood on the parchment, Heiress Delacour."
I nod and place three drops of blood on the parchment. We waited until the parchment began to show writing. I took the parchment and read what it says.
Name: Fleur Isabella Delacour (Pureblood) (1/4 Veela)

I'm surprised and hand the parchment to my parents. I took out the second parchment that Harry sent me and read it.
I am furious at what I read about my mate. I try to control my veela side. I pass the parchment to my parents so they can see what all has happened to my mate. I look at Tigertooth and ask, "May I please get a copy of my inheritence test?"
Tigertooth nods and makes a copy for me. My parents and I get up to go home. Once we are home, I look at them and ask, "Are we going to go stay with Harry?"
My parents nod, and my mother says, "Go pack, girls."
Everyone goes their seperate ways to pack. After an hour of packing, we all grab onto the portkey and say, "Sanctuary."
