After being sent through another pipe they appeared in a massive room. The entrance hall of the manor was an awe-inspiring sight. It was enormous, the walls and floors adorned with white and silver marble. The ceiling was dizzyingly high, and a massive chandelier hung down from the center, its lights twinkling like stars. On either side of the entrance were two massive statues, depicting a fierce dragon and a winding serpent. An intricate pattern of blue carpeting stretched across the floor, creating a sense of grandeur and elegance. On the walls were large white and silver banners, each adorned with a crest of a snake coiled around a silver shield.
All in all, all three of them were stunned and Harry snapped out of it as the voice in his head explained everything of the decorations. One thing caught his attention. 'Wait, so that banner has the house crest of the most ancient and most noble house of Slytherin. What is that supposed to mean?' He asked in his mind. 'Don't worry kid, I'll teach you all about that, with the help of your mums.' At that Harry nodded and after tapping his mums they shook their heads and walked up the stairs following the directions that Harry relayed to them until they came to a halt in front of a grand black, wooden door that's handles were made of two snakes opening it they stepped inside and looked around in awe.
The study wa" a sight to behold, a testament to the owner's wealth and taste. The white marble walls gleamed in the sunlight that streamed through the massive window, framed by silver detailing and elegant silver curtains. The window offered a panoramic view of the lush garden and the fountain outside.
The desk was the centerpiece of the room, a large and sturdy piece of furniture made from black wood. It was adorned with a silver lamp, a leather-bound notebook, and a crystal pen holder. Behind the desk was a fancy chair, also made from silver, with a cushioned seat and a high back. The chair looked comfortable and inviting, as if it was waiting for someone to sit down and get to work. On the opposite wall, a fireplace crackled and warmed the room, creating a cozy atmosphere. The floor was made of smooth black marble and there was a fluffy silver rug underneath the desk. The fireplace was also made of black marble, contrasting with the white smooth marble walls. Next to the fireplace, a door led to a vault, where the owner kept his most valuable and secret possessions. The study also boasted a massive personal library, with bookcases that reached the ceiling. The bookcases were also made from black wood, and they contained thousands of books of various genres and languages. The books were neatly arranged and labeled, showing the owner's love of reading and learning. A ladder on wheels allowed access to the higher shelves, and a cozy armchair and a small table were placed near the window, creating a perfect spot for reading. The study was a reflection of the owner's personality and interests, a place where he could work, relax, and enjoy his hobbies. It was a fancy and impressive room, but also a private and intimate one.
"Ah, hello to my lovely home what might have brought you here." They all jumped at the voice and looked back and above the door there was a portrait of a tall handsome man in a black suit, he has pale skin with aristocratic facial features. His smooth pitch-black hair was short and nicely styled. He had a charming smile but what caught their attention was his eyes and Dorcas and Marlene was immediately ready to go at the first sighn of danger. His eyes were Ruby red. 'Harry this is my magical portrait. Great him by the name Marvelo and tell him about me.' Swallowing Harry nodded. "Hello, Marvelo. I'm Harry and these are my mums. We were brought here by a voice who introduced himself as Marvelo and told us to come here." Harry said not sure how to explain it. The guy in the portrait was shocked at first before nodding. "The voice is a piece of my soul and you seem to have given it a form in your mind and if I'm correct it was subconsciously." The guy nodded as he talked and Harry felt his mums tense and looked at them confused but they said nothing. "If I'm correct my soul piece wants to train you to take up your heir ship and maybe find a way to get his body back, but that's for later first you need to get some rest and we'll talk again in the morning." Nodding Harry looked at his mother's but they gestured for him to go on and Harry just shrugged before following the directions Marvelo gave him.
Harry entered the room and fell onto the bed to tired to do anything else, as he drifted off to sleep the voice talked to him but it didn't keep him awake it just turned into a dream. 'Okay Harry I'm gonna start learning you a skill, it's called occlumency. Occlumency is a skill that allows one to protect one's mind from external intrusion or influence by a Legilimens. A Legilimens is someone who can read or manipulate the thoughts and emotions of another person. To practise Occlumency, one has to clear one's mind of all thoughts and feelings, or suppress the ones that are relevant to the Legilimens. This creates a barrier that prevents the Legilimens from accessing or altering one's mind. It's a difficult task and has many more pros but that's the basic description.' Marvelo explained to Harry and he… nodded? Well whatever you do mentally to show you understand. Chuckling Marvelo continued, 'The first step will be to practise clearing your mind of any thoughts and feelings on a regular basis. You can do this by meditating and focusing on your breathing. The goal is to make your mind blank and calm, so that nothing can distract or tempt you. This will also help you relax and reduce stress. You will do this every morning, afternoon and night and then whilst you sleep until you can clear your mind without even thinking about it, it just comes naturally. Only then we will continue.' Marvelo told Harry. 'So I'll start now?' Harry asked confused. 'No, not yet for now stick to the day as it will drain you at the beginning but later on we'll move to when you sleep. For now sleep.' And as if sensing Harry's fear, which is probably what happened, Marvelo continued. 'I'll keep the nightmares away until you can do it yourself.' Relieved Harry went into a deep dreamless sleep.
