The group returned to Evans Manor. Harry sent his items to Potter Manor with Pock to be put away in his room. He looked around and was happy to see the elves settling in and working well with Molly.
“Oh, Harry! These elves are wonderful! You all pick out the perfect ones!” Molly was glowing with happiness.
“Did they settle in alright?” Harry asked with a smile.
“Yes, the kitchen elves couldn’t be happier with the size of the kitchen. When I told them we were going to be a safe place for others they were over the moon. The garden elves are on cloud nine with the greenhouse. They know what plants would thrive best year-round and what foods can be grown in the greenhouse, that cuts out bothering Severus. Also, the general maintenance elves have been working non-stop to repair and clean the areas we haven’t gotten to yet.”
“I’m glad things are starting to run smoothly. If you need any help or the elves have a question you can’t answer, call for Pock. He’s my personal elf and will be my voice while at school for anything that arises. Pock!”
With a pop, the elf arrived at Harry’s side with a bow.
“Yes Master?”
“This is Mrs. Weasley. She runs Evans Manor for me. If she needs any help you are to answer to her. I want you to check on the elves here monthly to ensure they are well settled and don’t have any issues that need resolved.”
Pock gave another bow, “Yes Master. Lady Weasley, I am here for you if you need me.”
Pock popped away, back to Potter Manor.
“Now that everyone is all settled, Hermione and I are going to Potter Manor to get ourselves settled there and the wards renewed. With Dumbledore lurking around, I want that Master List made as soon as possible. Will you tell the others that our lessons will be taking place there for me?”
“Sure thing Harry. Stay safe.” Molly walked off to oversee dinner prep.
“Ready Hermione?” Harry asked when he saw her walking towards him.
“Yup! I had all my stuff sent over already with one of the elves.”
They flooed over to Potter Manor. When they landed, Remus was waiting for them.
“Welcome Home! Harry, you need to go do the wards first before anything else. Hermione, I will show you to your room.”
Hermione followed Remus as Harry walked to the front gate. He repeated the ceremony he did at Evans Manor, receiving two lists and the quill that went with them. He was walking through the manor, looking it over, when Hermione ran up and hugged him.
“The rooms look amazing! If yours is anything like mine, you are going to just die!”
She ran off again, a smile plastered on her face.
“Pock!”
“Yes Master?”
“Where is my room?”
“This way Master, I’ll show it to you.”
Harry followed the elf to his room. It was in the West Wing next to an office and small library.
“Here you are Master. I have put everything away for you. If you need anything just call.”
“Thank you Pock. Please check on the other elves and see if I need to get them anything.”
Pock gave a bow and popped off. Harry looked around his room, his smile growing wider. It was amazing! The walls were done in a soft grey. The color reminded him of Draco’s eyes. The bed was a huge king, covered in black sheets and a silver comforter. There was a desk near the bed in a corner on his left. When he looked right he saw a wardrobe. When he opened it, he saw all the clothes, shoes, and even accessories he bought earlier that day. He saw the four family rings sitting in a box on the accessory table and next to them were the Elder wand and Gryffindor and Slytherin’s wands. Next to the wardrobe were the trunks he had at the inn.
‘I still need to go through those.’ Harry thought as he opened his school trunk. It was as he left it when he left the inn. He pulled out his school work and set it on the desk. He’d work on it tonight after dinner. To the left of the wardrobe was the bathroom. It housed a shower in one corner and a deep tub in the other. It was perfection to Harry. He went back to the bedroom and decided to go check out the office next door. When he entered, he was even more pleased than with his bedroom! The office was lined with bookshelves. He saw the books he had purchased when he first moved out on the shelf closest to the beautiful oak desk. He looked over the shelves and saw all his school books from previous years along with older tomes. He looked over the desk next. When he opened the top drawer, he saw a little notebook inside. He cracked it open and saw that it was a history of the Potter family. By the print, the book was shrunk down. Harry looked around and saw one of those library book stands in a corner. He took the book over to it and resized it. It was much larger than Harry had originally thought. On the first page was written,
This book holds the lineage and secrets of the Ancient and Noble Potter House. It cannot be removed from this house, with exception to the home being destroyed or the heir moving it to preserve our history. This office houses all the books the current Lord will ever need, changing as the needs change. Some of the tomes are as old as our line and hold the secrets to unlocking our deepest magic. We may not be a “pure” line, but we are powerful in our own ways. Use them wisely, if you don’t, you will lose all access to them. The house knows and will protect itself and those in it from corruption.
Harry was a bit surprised to read that the house had that kind of magic put on it.
‘It must have been placed there when the home was built.’
It made sense since, per the book, the house was built in the late 1400’s, when magic was hunted down and snuffed out. Harry closed the book, he’d have to read it later, and went downstairs for dinner. Remus and Sirius were waiting for him and Hermione.
“Go ahead and start guys. I need to talk to Pock. Pock!”
“Yes Master?”
“How are the elves settling in?”
“They are doing so at their pace, getting acquainted with their surroundings. I did as asked and made a list of items they would like or need to run the house properly.”
Pock handed Harry a rather short list that he read quickly. It was mostly plants needed for the greenhouse and grounds.
“I’ll have these bought first thing tomorrow.”
“Thank you Master. I will inform the others.”
Pock popped away and the group enjoyed dinner, talking about plans for the rest of the summer. Harry informed them that he didn’t want a big party for his birthday, which was a few weeks away. He told them a nice dinner with friends and family would be enough for him. Sirius looked disappointed, but Remus pointed out that they would oversee the guest list and what was served for dinner. Sirius perked up at that and you could see the wheels turning in his head. Harry made a mental note to invite the Malfoys’ since he knew Sirius wouldn’t. He decided he would write them a letter before he broke in that wonderful tub. As he made his way to his room, he watched the elves as they passed him. He smiled as he saw how happy they were. After the letter was written and sent, he took his bath and went to bed. As he laid down on the bed, he felt himself sinking into the plush mattress. As he drifted off, a pair of grey eyes were the last thing he thought of before sleep claimed him.
The rest of the summer flew by in a haze of lessons with Narcissa and Lucius, broken up by the birthday dinner Sirius planned, homework, and sorting the trunks Harry had received at the start of the summer. All of Harry’s favorite foods were made along with a massive cake for his birthday. All his friends, new and old, had gifts for him that ranged from clothes to rare books. He couldn’t be happier in the moment. His relationship with Draco was growing stronger. By the end of summer, Harry, Hermione, and Draco were as close as Harry though he was with Ron at one point. Snape had also finished the potion he promised Harry. The morning after he had taken it, he looked a lot better than when he had gone to sleep. He was taller, had developed muscle mass he was lacking, and was starving! His new body needed more fuel than he was use to and it took him a full week to adjust and get used to it. During that week, he ate like Ron did at every meal. He couldn’t help but wonder what his former friend was up to. No one had spoken to him since Arthur disowned him. They were all still mad at him for what he said. No one had seen Dumbledore either since he showed up at Potter Manor. Everyone was wondering what the old man was up to. As the school year drew closer, they were going to find out just what the two were up to. Harry and Draco were sorting through one of the trunks when they found out just what Dumbledore had been up to over the summer.
“I’ve never seen so many books, especially rare ones like this.” Draco said as he held up an old potions tome.
“Add it to the office pile.” Harry replied as he sorted through a mound of jewelry and trinkets. He picked up a goblet and let out a sound of pain. His scar was on fire. He dropped the goblet and the pain stopped.
“What the hell?” Draco picked it up and felt nothing.
“It reacted with my scar. I wonder what that means?”
“I don’t know. Let’s as Hermione later once we have finished sorting through all this.”
The boys went back to their sorting. They were almost finished when the owl arrived with the evening post.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments! Next chapter we will be going back in time for a bit and following Ron and Dumbledore to see what they have been plotting and planning. I hope you all enjoy the little twist I have planned and the subtle hint about Harry and Dracos' growing realtionship.
