Chapter 2: Familiars And A New Room
'Thoughts'
"Talking"
"Memories"
May 3, 1998
Harry started coming around again hearing muffled noises. He slowly opened his eyes. Suddenly his memories from meeting Merlin and the founders came flooding into his mind. He also remembered what Merlin and the others telling him his new gifst and he was determined to do what they told him.
He slowly got up feeling the aches and stiffness in his body for lying on the ground for so long. Suddenly he was covered in a dark green shield. Harry started to panic thinking someone was kidnapping him. But as soon as the shield came it went away and Harry was surprised that he felt no ache or stiffness from earlier. 'Must be the healing affinity Helga was talking about.' He stated looking for his wand and found it near a body of someone he couldn't identify.
He started walking leaving the battlefield having a feeling that in the future the world will become more peaceful but now he had to get up and go to Gringott's Wizarding Bank to get the rest of his gifts. But first he had to disguise himself. 'At least one of Merlin's gifts were useful.'
Harry, now with bright blue eyes and dull brown hair, made his way through Diagon Alley to reach Gringotts. He reached Gringotts and went inside and went to a goblin.
"How may I help you sir?" The goblin said in a business-like tone.
"I have come to get some things from my vaults." Harry said in a hushed voice.
"What two vaults are they?" The goblin said annoyance and impatience slightly coloring his voice. Harry might have smiled at the goblins dismissive behavior if what he was about to say wasn't so serious.
"I am here to go to Salazar Slytherin's vault." Harry said in a serious voice. The goblin looked at him with annoyance now clearly displayed on his face.
"I do not like it when people try to access vaults that do not belong to them. No, you may not see that vault." The goblin said in a clipped tone. Harry started to get annoyed at the goblin.
"I am their heir and you will let me in those vaults." Harry said. The goblin then sneered at Harry.
"Fine, I can test to see if you are telling the truth." The goblin climbed down from his seat and started walking away. "Follow me." The goblin said. Harry followed the goblin. A few moments later they reached a room labeled 137. The goblin opened the door and went inside. Harry trailed behind the goblin. Inside the room was bland with a desk with chairs in front of it and a couch that could fit two people comfortably. The goblin motioned to one of the seats as he sat down behind the desk. Harry sat in the one closest to the desk.
"I will be back." Said the goblin. He went out a door Harry hadn't noticed before. After a few minutes the goblin returned with a vial with white liquid inside, parchment, and an athame. The goblin uncorked the vial. "I will need you to put three drops of your blood in this vial and if," The goblin said while sneering again. "You are the heir to them or anyone else when I pour it on this parchment it will show us their names." The goblin gave Harry the athame. Harry gripped it and cut his index finger. Blood started flowing steadily. Harry put his finger above the vial and let three drops of blood into it before pulling it away. A dark green shield glowed around the cut and it went away leaving a healed finger. The goblin raised an eyebrow at the displayed healing then corked the vial and shook it a little bit. After that the goblin uncorked the vial again and poured it on the parchment. The paper glowed then showed:
Evans
Hufflepuff
Gryffindor
Merlin
Potter
Ravenclaw
Slytherin
The goblins eyes looked like they would pop out its sockets. Harry felt some pride that he had astounded the goblin. When the goblin seemed to snap out of it he bowed from his waist.
"I-I'm sorry I should not have been rude to you." The goblin stuttered out. Harry felt a bit of pity for him.
"It does not matter now. I am not angry at you. What is your name?" Harry asked the goblin.
"My name is Blordak, sir." Blordak said.
"Okay Blordak I do not mean to be mean but can you lead me to the vaults now?" Harry said.
"Of-of course." Blordak said stuttering only slightly.
Blordak quickly showed him out the door. Harry was trying not to laugh at the nervous goblin. They rode one of the carts to Slytherin's vault. They arrive at the vault in a few moments. Blordak got out quickly with Harry following him at a more subdue pace. Blordak opened the door for Harry. "Here is Slytherin's vault." Blordak said.
Harry was stunned when he looked around the vault. It had galleons piled almost as high as the thirty foot high ceiling. Green and silver where everywhere, and the vault had various books everywhere. 'Hermione would have loved it here.' Harry thought wistfully and a bit sadly remembering her death. Then Harry focused on the box with the basilisk egg he was supposed to find. He started walking around trying to find the box Slytherin told him about. "You will know which box it is in trust me." Harry was confused he didn't feel or see anything that piqued his interest. Suddenly he felt a pull of an invisible force that seemed to pull him to his right so he followed it. He kept following until Harry found it next to a book about basilisks. 'I guess Salazar wanted to make sure I knew how to care of them.' Harry glanced around for something to safely and securely hold the egg and saw a large green box. Harry opened the box and say that it had plenty of cushioning material inside. However, Harry cast another cushioning charm just in case. He pick up the egg and put it in the box and then he picked up the books silently thanking Salazar for it. Harry cradled both items to his chest as he made his way back to the door. Blordak was waiting for him patiently by the door. Harry walked out the room and Blordak closed the door behind him. He went out of the vault feeling excited about finding his familiar and having books about how to take care of them. Harry got in the cart after Blordak closed and locked the vault door and the pair traveled back to the main floor. A few moments they got out the cart making their way to the entrance of Gringotts. They both climbed out of the cart, Harry being careful with the chest so he wouldn't jostle the egg inside of it.
"Thank you for showing me the vaults, Blordak." Harry said politely to the goblin.
"I was happy to be of service, Mr. Potter." Blordak replied.
Harry made his way out of Gringotts feeling content now that he had his familiar and a book to teach him how to take care of them. He went into a quiet alley and apparated to Hogwarts remembering that the founders said that he was their heir so Harry guessed he could apparate inside the Hogwarts' wards. Harry started feeling the sensation of apparating, like being squeezing through a very tight tube, hoping nothing would happen to his precious cargo that he was carrying. He found himself in front of a familiar Hogwart's entrance. The doors suddenly opened as if the school was waiting for his return, which it probably was.
He walked through the doors, the tall doors closing behind him. He walked through the hallways reminiscing in the memories he had of Hogwarts. 'I miss the days of not knowing about the sorrow that would happen in my life.' Harry sighed forlornly.
Harry made his way through the silent hallways noticing that all the portraits that he passed had no people in them. After a while he reached Dumbledore's gargoyle. It jumped out the way for Harry without a password. Harry made his way up the staircase leading to Dumbledore's office. He arrived after a few moments. He looked around the office noticing that it looked the same before the battle, though Dumbledore's chair was empty and Fawkes' stand was empty. He looked around and saw that there were no people in the portraits that hung on the walls. 'I guess they left to a safer place.'
Suddenly one ghostly form appeared in the empty place. The shape started forming a face and Harry recognized Helga with her light brown hair in a bun, bright hazel eyes, wearing the same clothes from the last time he saw her, and a warm smile.
"Harry dear, how are you? Oh I see you got your familiar." Helga said merrily
"I am fine Ms. Hufflepuff," Harry said politely. "And yes I do have them and I'm grateful Slytherin gave me these books to show me how to take care of them."
"Oh Harry, you don't have to be so formal, call me Helga." She said firmly.
"Okay Ms. Hu-Helga." Harry said reminding himself that it was Helga now. Helga smiled at him. "May I ask why are you are here." Harry politely said.
"Oh right, we are here to show you your new room." Helga said surprising Harry.
"I have a room here." Harry said taken aback with the kindness they were showing him.
"Of course you do dear." Helga said sounding astounded that Harry thought he shouldn't live in the castle. 'Damn those horrible muggles that he was living with.' "You own this castle now. You have every right to have a room here." Harry stood there stunned the founders really did care about him. He eyes started to sting but he kept himself in check. He wouldn't cry in front of Helga he had to stay strong. "Now let me show you to your room." Helga said seeming oblivious to Harry being close to a breakdown. She started floating out of the office. Harry followed her casting a lingering look at the office before following the ghostly founder.
The pair went down the stairs taking a quiet trip to Harry's new room. Harry looked around reminding himself the way to his new room. They arrived at a portrait of the Hogwarts' emblem. The four animals in the emblem stared at Helga. Helga cleared her throat.
"This is the new owner and soon to be headmaster of Hogwarts. He will be staying in this room and I hope you don't give him any problems." She turned to the silver snake in the portrait that was staring at Harry which reminded Harry of Salazar. "Especially you Kei." Kei turned to her and hissed unintelligently then continued to stare at Harry which made him uncomfortable slightly. She sighed in exasperation at the snake. "Don't worry 'bout him he just needs to warm up to you before he starts respecting you. The others you shouldn't have to worry about." She said earnestly.
"It's okay I'm used to people not liking me." He said solemnly.
Helga sighed dejectedly. She gazed sternly at Kei. 'Kei you are going to be in so much trouble. I promise you.' Kei seemed like he read her mind and he looked uneasily at the mad woman. She was going to try to cheer him up. "Come now you the rest of the founders, Merlin, and me as your family." She said trying to cheer him up. "Now to open the door, chose a password, and say it to the portrait and that will be your password till you want to change it again." Harry thought about the password he would use then he decided.
"My password will be Tojours Pur. (1)" Harry said thinking of Sirius. Helga smiled.
"Okay now say it to the portrait and it will be the password you will use." Harry nodded then said the password to the portrait. The door swung open. Harry and Helga walked into the room and Harry couldn't believe his eyes. The room had a fire place covered in stone with flames of red and flicking blue, a comfy, leather couch, a coffee table, two leather chairs opposite to the couch, the walls were beige with dark blue complementing each other. Attached to the room was a fully equipped kitchen and breakfast nook. "Come on Harry there is still more things to see."
Harry followed Helga to a dark blue door with a bronze handle. "Open the door dear." Harry grasped the handle then turned the knob. He pushed the door open and was bewildered with what was inside. There were rows and rows of books everywhere, some on some desks that were scattered everywhere, some making large stacks on the floor. Harry walked to one shelf seeming to over flow with books and read the spines of the books.
"Wow." Harry breathed out completely flabbergasted with the amount of book the library held. He found an unoccupied table and placed the book Slytherin gave him on the table grateful to lighten the load he was carrying.
"Come, Come. There is more to see." Helga glided out of the door. Harry followed quickly after her trying to keep up with her.
They arrived a moment later at another door this time it was a yellow door with an onyx door handle. "This is the room I made for you." Harry gave her a look of appreciation swiftly before opening the door. Inside it looked like a greenhouse. The ceiling was made of glass and light was pouring through them lighting the room. The walls were a light brown color seeming to blend into the various plants growing round the room. Harry felt surprised about how many plants were in the room. He gave Helga a questioning look. "I have given you this greenhouse to help you in various ways and also you can grow many ingredients for potions in here." Harry smiled happily at Helga before surprising the both of them by hugging her. She chuckled at his antics before hugging Harry back. Harry let go of her and gave Helga a cheerful smile and she returned it equally. "Now let's see the other rooms." Harry nodded and followed the woman again. They arrived at a red door with a gold doorknob. Harry smiled at the door.
"This is the room Godric gave me isn't it." Harry said knowingly. Helga smiled at him telling Harry that he got it right. He opened the door. The first thing he saw when he entered the room was the Sword of Gryffindor in a glass case on the mantle of the fireplace. In front of the fireplace was a comfortable looking couch with a walnut table on the right side of the couch. The walls were a rich crimson color with a soft, light brown carpet.
"You can place your egg down on the table." Helga said breaking the silence that had came over the room. Harry nodded and gently placed the chest on the table. Helga silently floated out the room with Harry following her, closing the door on their way out.
They made it to another door that was green with a silver knob. Harry opened the door and inside was a potion lab like the one Snape had for his classes. Sadness flooded Harry as he remembered the misunderstood potions master but he knew he would see him in the future. Harry looked around the room. The walls were black but it didn't have a gloomy feeling, in fact it felt cozy. He finally noticed a large pantry in the room. Curious, Harry made his way over and opened the doors. Inside there were stacks of different kinds of cauldrons and what seemed like hundreds of potion ingredients lined the shelves in the spacious room.
"Salazar put a spell on this room so if you want and ingredient you can call the name and it will come to you. He also charmed to containers so they could hold a man comfortably inside them so you won't have to worry about refilling them any time soon." She said. Harry smiled at her happy personality.
The pair walked out of the room to the last door. This door was beige with a glass knob. Harry opened the door and was amazed. Inside the room was a queen sized bed covered in icy blue satin sheets. There was a table beside the bed. The walls were beige like the door but it seemed to be a slightly softer tone. On the far side of the room was a glass door leading outside. There were two other doors on either side of the room. Harry walked to the one on the right. He opened it and found it was a closet filled with clothes. Harry gave Helga a questioning look. "All of us got you some new clothes because I don't think you would have wanted to stay in the same outfit." Harry blushed looking down at his clothes that did indeed look dirty and rumpled. Harry then went to find out what the other door had behind it. He came to the door and opened it and found that it was a bathroom. The entire bathroom was covered in white and black tiles accented with silver swirls. There was a bath like the ones in the Perfect's bathroom. There was also a large shower with nozzles coming from all over. It also had two sinks and a closet that Harry assumed had towels and other things. Harry exited the bathroom.
Suddenly Harry felt exhausted. The day's activities taking a toll on him making him feel tried. Harry walked to his bed kicking off his shoes. He fell on the very comfortable bed, curling up like a kitten.
"Goodnight Harry. I will see you tomorrow." Helga said softly.
"Goodnight Helga." He said sleepily, already half way unconscious. Helga floated out the room turning off the light as she went.
Harry soon drifted off to dreamland. Having no nightmares in his new home where he knew he was protected by his new family.
