Harry Pov

As Harry stood up from the chair, he felt his joints protest about their 10 days of in-action. As he looked around, he felt like a totally different person. The thing that his ancestors had achieved was mind-boggling, but even after having so much knowledge dumped into his brain. He felt lighter than ever; you Know The Feeling you experience when you complete Yoga or any other mental exercise, and all the tension and stress melt away. You are just left with a calm and peaceful mind. Which was surprising as he should feel the opposite of that. The gravity of the task which lay before him was enormous.

"Master Harry, you are awake. It has been too long," Dobby's voice broke through his self-assessment as he looked around the first time, paying attention after getting up from the chair. He found out the chamber had changed entirely. Ice was utterly absent from his surroundings when it had wholly surrounded every surface earlier.

"Kreacher, Winky and Dobby have done a marvellous job." Harry thought, but as his eyes travelled to the source of the sound, he found not the three elves he was expecting, but if his quick count was correct, which Harry was sure it was, then all the elves he had brought with him.

" Dobby, looks like you all were very busy," Harry said teasingly.

After hearing it, Dobby began to jump on his feet excitingly and said, "Yes, Great Master Harry Potter, you are totally right. We bring very busy here, with so much work." the joy on his face when he said the word, so much work, was clear to be seen.

As Harry's eyes surveyed the whole room, they came to rest at Kreacher and the only other human in this place. As he looks at her, he remembers her name Captain Samantha Carter who prefers to go by Sam.

"Oh, what do we have here," Harry said, addressing his guest/prisoner for the first time, who was looking at him with wide eyes.

"You pick up our language very quickly," she said with a hint of amazement.

"I am pretty amazing, but I cannot take credit for this. I could always speak English, " Harry replied teasingly, waiting for the inevitable mountain to erupt. He had learned to take compliments after the fall of Voldemort.

Harry was not disappointed; Sam's facial expression went from amazement to anger in a split second. "You.. you could speak English all this time," she asked when she saw a node from Harry. Sam got angry.

"All this time we tried to get you to talk, you must be laughing at our attempts", she retorted angrily.

"Of course, I was laughing. What would I do? You guys had me trapped In that prison? A man has to have some entertainment, right? Not that it was much of a prison I could have broken out months ago," he continued to tease.

"Entertainment. Entertainment," Sam was lost for words. He could see the temper rise within her as Sam thought about all the time she and her colleagues had lost trying to get him to understand them.

Finally, the dam broke, and Sam tried to jump at him with the full intention of knocking him to the ground, he was sure. She tried being the operative word as soon as she took the first step toward him. Sam was blasted backwards with a Confringo from one of the elves, and only Harry's quick cushioning charm saved her from having a concussion or being knocked out as she hit the wall.

Thanks to the cushioning charm, which absorbed all the kinetic energy present, Sam slid slowly down the wall and quickly got up, no worse than before.

"Guys, it's okay; she did not mean to harm me. She was trying to take an anger out." Harry explained to the elves.

"That is debatable," Sam replied, absent mind as she dusted herself, looking down.

" Be careful, Captain Carter. These elves are very protective of me, and even I don't know what they would do to the person they think is trying to harm me. I have seen Dobby blast his previous owner a few yards because he tries to hurt me." Harry said

Sam looked up and paled, seeing almost all the elves glaring at her. Some even had their hands pointed towards her in case she tried something.

She quickly nodded to Harry's warning these elves were terrifying when angry; she had seen them moving objects 20 times her size around effortlessly. She did not want to imagine what they would do to her if they perceived her as a threat.

"Okay, let's move out. I want to see your work," Harry said to calm the situation. It worked as all the elves began talking among themselves, excitingly, all their previous anger forgotten.

After talking among themselves for some time, an old elf approached Harry. It said, "Master, I being Hudo, will show you around."

"Okay, lead the way," Hari said. Hearing that, the other elves apparated away, leaving only Harry, Hudo, Dobby, Winky Kreacher and Sam in the chamber.

"This way, master", Hudo said, gesturing to the way outside the chamber, and so their small group set a path to the new beginning. Harry was quite excited.

As soon as they exited the chamber, he could see some elves operating different types of Machines, which surprised him.

"You could understand this," Harry asks Hudo.

"Yes, Master, this is one of the skills of the houses elves. We can quickly learn your work. As when an elf is bought, it is not known what work it will be doing, so it is imperative that we quickly learn the work that Master wants us to do." Hudo replied.

"So you guys can operate it," Harry asked in amazement.

" Yes and no, Master, we have a basic knowledge of these machines, what to do, and what not to do, but it would take some time to get comfortable enough to fully interact with it. More, there is the issue of power. We noticed the Reserve power, which was available to this base, continued to rise as you sat on the glowing chair, which allowed us to turn some of the Machines on. However, it was still insufficient to bring this base fully online." Hudo elaborated.

Harry nodded and said, "Do not worry about the power. I have a plan to fix it. Wait, is that light I see coming in through a window, are we not underground."

"Master, it is a long story", Hudo said, looking down and pulling his ears. Harry felt the headache coming.

"Okay, let's hear it", Harry said. Hugo nodded and explained everything they had done in the past 10 days.

"You guys manage to clean these base as well as raise it. This base was buried 50 meters below the Earth's surface in ice." Harry asked in amazement. Hudo just nodded and continued to pull his ears down in embarrassment.
