3rd Person (P.O.V)
Harlow Potter or Swan now, her whole body jolted up completely. Her now two colored eyes snapping open, revealing one brown and the other her usual emerald green. Her heart beating rapidly as her body lightly shook.
Harlow didn't know how long she had been sitting there once her body has stopped convulsing and her heart beat normalized. She slowly looked up blinking rapidly confused as she slowly took in her surroundings.
She removed the blanket off of her body and swung her legs over. It took her a couple of attempts to stand up without her legs shaking. She slowly walked cautiously as she didn't know where she was. She used the bed to keep her balance up as she reached the foot of the bed, using the footboard as support only to gasped as her grip tight on the wood as two different sets of memories hit her all at once.
It felt like forever once the assault stopped that Harlow finally managed to sit back on the bed. She closed her eyes and meditated sorting both sets of memories. After starting her previous life, she put it to the back of her mind and focused on her new life.
She was yet again born on July 31, her name was still Harlow Rose, but instead of Potter it was now Swan. As she looked through her new memories she saw that she was a part of a broken family living with her mother and older sister who she had a strained relationship with.
She saw a wonderful father in her memories. As even with living apart, he was a constant presence in her life, calling her a couple times a week and her visiting a few times a year mostly during the summer.
"Mistress". A voice said making Harlow snap out of her thoughts looking around the room to see death standing by the door.
"What are you doing here?". Harlow asked quietly not sure if the house occupants were awake. Although she startled herself for a moment realizing she had lost her accent.
"I am unable to stay too long, but I've come bearing gifts for you and your mate". Death said as he took something out of his cloak, setting it on the ground and enlarging it.
Standing before Harlow was a beautiful wooden trunks. The wood was a dark mahogany with lilies carved throughout the trunk. "What's inside?". Harlow asked curiously hands twitching to open it.
"This is a trunk of my creation a gift for you. When you open the trunk you will be able to enter it, inside is the Potter family Manor with several green houses with many plants from your old world as well as some magical creatures. The land and vegetation within the trunk goes on for miles. The Potter family fortune and artifacts are inside a vault in the manor, as well as the money converted into US dollars". Death said as Harlow's eyes widen, she began to feel lightheaded.
"Is that it?". Harlow whispered faintly.
"Your old family had many house elves which reside within the manor. I took the liberty to have both yours and your mate's personal belongings and momentos brought to this world, plus a surprise or two that you'll have to discover on your own". Death said with a small smile as he saw his mistress looking overwhelmed. " I must be going but before I do I want you to give this vile to your mate and have him drink it within a few hours he'll slowly regain his magic, his wand is among his possessions that were brought to the manor". Death said as he took out a vial that had a small sphere inside. Harlow took it carefully feeling at peace. Her magic vibrated as it felt Cedric's magic in her hand.
"Thank you". Harlow whispered a bit choked up.
"Anything for my mistress, I won't always be available but I'll check in from time to time. If you ever need me just think of me and I will be pulled immediately to your side". Death said as Harlow nodded her head and watched him slowly disappear.
Harlow's eyes moved once again towards the trunk. Not wanting to get caught she walked over towards the bedroom door and slowly opened it, She waited a minute hearing nothing she closed and locked it.
Going back towards the trunk she unlocked it, inside was a ladder that she slowly climb down, still having the vile in one of her hands. When she reach the bottom of the ladder, her foot immediately touched a soft carpet.
Before Harlow could look around, she was startled by a popping sound. Immediately her eyes landed on a female house elf wearing a red and gold dress with a crest on the breast pocket.
"Welcome home mistress, I be Daisy we waited a long time for you to return". Daisy said in excitement.
"Hi Daisy please call me Harlow. If I may know how many elves live in the manor?". Harlow said as she needed to know how many else she had as she didn't want to explain what was going on more than once.
"Missy Harlow be having 9 elves. They be Tippy and Gypsy they be gardeners taking care of the greenhouse and garden. Then there be Poppi she be chef. Master Fleamont had Bobby and Tobi twin elves, helping in making potions. Then we have Nipsey and Libby that help clean the Manor. When mistress's friend came to move Potter Manor, he brought one elf with him saying he was also a friend of Missy Harlow. He be called Dobby". Daisy said as individually each house elf had popped in one at a time.
"Dobby?". Harlow whispered in shock standing in front of her smiling and bouncing on his feet was the elf that died in her arms.
"Dobby be happy to see Missy Harlow again". Dobby said before he started looking worried as Harlow fell to her knees tears running down her face.
"I'm sorry I failed to protect you Dobby". Harlow whispered to her friend.
"Missy Harlow didn't failed, Dobby died protecting his friend and would do it again if he be needing to". Dobby said firmly looking at his mistress in the eyes.
Harlow sighed with a smile. "Alright Dobby, now everyone did my friend that visited you explain what was going on?". She asked as all of the house elves nodded their head which was a relief as she didn't have to explain everything.
Harlow was about to talk again when hooting interrupted her, her head immediately snapping in the direction to sound came from before her eyes saw a snowy white owl with amber eyes that caused tears to fill her eyes. Next to her familiar that she had lost was a companion she had once Cedric died. The male owl was completely Black with stormy blue eyes.
"Hedwig Hades". Harlow whispered as she walked over to the paired owls. She gave a watery grin as both owls hooded before Hedwig took off from the perch, flying onto her shoulder.
Harlow choked a sob as Hedwig started nuzzling her face. She slowly started running her fingertips across her familiar's wing. "I've missed you so much girl". She whispered as Hedwig nipped her finger affectionately as she always did. "Thank you Death". She whispered in her mind grateful to the deity that gave her back some of the most important pieces of her old life.
"Is Missy Harlow alright?". Dobby asked worriedly as his mistress rarely cried. She looked at him with a smile on her face.
"I'm going to be Dobby don't worry to much". Harlow reassured her little friend before looking at Hades. "Are you ready to see Ced again". Harlow said smiling as the owl looked at her before hooting, taking off into the air landing on her other shoulder.
Harlow couldn't contain the excitement in her as her small family was almost completed All that was missing was Cedric or Edward, as she might have to start calling him.
Harlow told her elves to go back to what they were doing before she had Dobby follow her to the master bedroom. she figured that would be her and Ced...Edward's room.
Dobby took the lead as she didn't know where to go, and let her to the biggest room in the manor. When she entered the room she was saw a sitting room and a small office space before walking to a pair of double doors.
Pushing the doors open the room was really elegant furniture made of mahogany. As she walked in her magic started humming as she got closer to the bed. On each side of the bed was a nightstand each had a wand laying on top of it.
Going to the left side of the bed, Harlow immediately recognize the one as it had been years since she had seen it, After Cedric's funeral Mr. Diggory had told her it was going to be placed in his family vault.
Harlow's still had the vile containing her mate magical core. She open the bedside table placing both the wand and vile inside safely. She couldn't risk losing it even though she badly wanted to keep it with her.
Closing the drawer, she walked to the opposite side of the bed seeing the elder wand. She picked up the elder wand red and black sparks emerging from it.
"Missy Harlow new sister be knocking on the door". Dobby said as she looked confused for a minute.
Then she remembered she had a new family to meet. Harlow sighed before conjuring a temporary holster for her wand and strapping it to her arm. She would have to go through her things later on to see what else was brought from her old world.
"Thanks Dobby I'll see you later". Harlow said before she hurried out of the master bedroom disappointed that her exploring was cut short and hoped she would be able to be back soon.
