Chapter III: Training Begins

After they had finished breakfast Tonks sent Harry and Luna
back upstairs to pack their trunks for the move to Grimmauld Place. As they
arrived back in the living room Alastor �Mad-eye� Moody appeared from the
fireplace. He started throwing hexes and jinxes around the room catching Tonks
with a Jelly-Legs jinx and narrowly missing Harry who had reacted with his
highly tuned Quidditch reflexes.

Automatically Harry raised a shield and shouted
�Expelliarmus.�

Harry�s spell grazed the ex-Auror's arm and Mad-eye
struggled to keep a hold of his wand, Luna who had back-flipped out of the way
of a curse aimed at her took advantage of Moody being distracted and cast a
stunner catching him square in the chest. As Moody fell Harry cast �
Incarcerous� and gave a silent cheer as ropes flew from his wand and
wrapped round his opponent. Luna walked over and removed the wand from Moody�s
hand and tucked it behind her left ear, leaving her right ear clear for her
own.

As Moody came round he looked at Luna and Harry and said.
�Well done you two, Tonks, you need to train harder, now who�s going to set me
free?�

Harry replied, �If you�re Moody tell me something about me
that only you would know.�

Moody thought for a minute and replied. �Remus Lupin taught
you to conjure a Patronus when you were thirteen and it takes the form of a
Stag.�

�No that is too well known, something else.�

�I was part of the �Advanced Guard� last year when you moved
to Headquarters.�

�Good enough� said Harry and cast a �Finite Incantatum� at
the ropes.

�You�re learning.� Said Moody.

�Constant Vigilance.� Harry replied and Moody�s face split
into a parody of a grin.

Luna returned Moody�s wand to him and looked round. Tonks
had removed the Jelly Legs from herself and was in the process of shrinking and
lightening Harry and Luna�s trunks for transport. Moody gave Luna a slip of
paper to read telling her to memorise what was written on it, he then held out
a rope and the other three took hold, he told them to prepare to be
transported, activated the Portkey and counted down, 3�2�1�

Harry felt the tug at his navel that he had grown to hate
even more than he hated Floo Travel, closed his eyes and waited. After what
seemed an eternity, but was actually a few seconds, he felt his feet hit
something solid, automatically he let his knees bend and for once he stayed
upright, until that is someone landed on top of him.

Harry looked up and got a most delightful view down Tonks�
cleavage, he felt �Little Harry� stirring to life and a blush come to his face.

He heard Tonks whisper, �Thanks for the compliment, Lover
Boy, but you�re a bit young for me, but if Luna doesn�t mind sharing��

He whispered back, �Age ain�t nothing but a number, Tonks,
but you�re the one who has to ask Luna.�

�Where did that come from?� he thought.

Tonks stood and reached down to help him to his feet, trying
but failing to control her own blush.

�Good comeback, Harry.� She said as pulled him up, �I�ll
need to try harder next time.�

Harry looked round and realised where he was, the kitchen of
his Godfather�s house, he felt tears welling up in his eyes as he looked at the
head of the table where Sirius had sat, he went over and touched the chair and
let his grief out. Tonks moved forward to comfort him but was blocked by Luna
who put her hands round his shoulders and hugged him tightly. Tonks attracted
Luna�s attention and pointed the way through to the sitting room, Luna led
Harry out of the kitchen made him sit on a sofa and held onto him until he
stopped crying.

When the tears finally stopped, Harry started to apologise
but was stopped by Luna and Tonks, they took turns explaining to him that tears
were the mind�s way of beginning the healing process, and that it was okay for
men to cry. At some point Moody and Remus Lupin had joined the trio in the
sitting room, the sight of his father�s remaining friend (he didn�t count the
traitor Pettigrew as being part of the group) the tears started again.

�I�m sorry, Professor, I got another of your friends
killed,�

Lupin broke into Harry�s speech, �Harry, it wasn�t your
fault, Sirius was gradually going mad being stuck here. He welcomed the chance
to get out of the house, he told me he wished he had got to Godric�s Hollow in
time to die instead of your parents. He loved you like his own son and beat
himself up over the impetuosity that sent him chasing Peter instead of taking
care of you as he�d promised your parents. You saw how he was fighting, he was
taunting Bella, he was in his element but he was careless.�

�I know you�ll want to take the blame, but share it out,
some of it belongs to Sirius for not taking Bella seriously, some of it belongs
to me for not making him stay at here, some of it belongs to Dumbledore for
keeping him locked up here, some of it belongs to Snivellus for taunting him
about being stuck here, but most of it belongs to Bella and Vol, Vol, Him.�

�Sirius gave his Wizard�s Oath to protect you with his life
after you rescued him, he was proud of the way you had grown up in spite of the
way the Dursleys had treated you. He gave me a letter for you, when you feel up
to reading it, I�ll give it to you. One more thing, just before your parent�s
died you were just starting to talk, you couldn�t say �Moony� but you called me
�Moo-Moo,� if you want to, call me Moony or Remus. You too Luna, I�ll be here
quite a bit helping with your training, and I�d rather you didn�t call me
Professor.�

Harry stood and walked over to his father�s friend, �Thank
you, er, Remus, I�ll try and remember, and I�ll let you know when I want to
read Sirius� letter.�

�Okay,� said Remus, �First off lets get your gear stowed,
and then I�ll show what Sirius set up here. We�d planned on training you this
summer anyway, but we had planned on it being you, Ron and Hermione, but things
got in the way. Moody here has volunteered to help, wants to see what Crouch
taught you.�

Tonks excused herself from the group muttering about having
to visit the Apothecary, and Moony led Harry and Luna upstairs to the bedrooms.
As they walked up Remus spoke gently to Harry.

�Harry, I know this will be hard for you to hear, but this
house actually belongs to you and me now, Dumbledore was the executor of
Sirius� Will and has read it to see what needs to be done from a legal
standpoint. Sirius put a condition in his will that the Order of the Phoenix
could continue to use this as their Headquarters while Vol, Volde, He, is still
around, but only if we both agree. The Order will be limited to the ground
floor and basement, the first floor and the attic is our private area. All the
training rooms are in the basement along with some accommodation for Order
members who have to stay overnight. Sirius� Will, will be read at Gringotts on
your sixteenth birthday, if you want to ask me anything beforehand please do.�

Harry merely nodded and held back a sniff. As he looked
around he was amazed at the change in the house, what had been dark woods had
been stripped back and treated with a lighter stain. The carpets had been
replaced with lighter colours as well and the walls and ceilings had been
repainted. Harry and Luna were given bedrooms across the corridor from each
other, Tonks and Remus had the other two rooms close by.

The attic had been cleared and the Owlery refurbished,
noticeable by his absence was Buckbeak the Hippogriff, Remus explained that
Luna�s father had discovered a herd in the Welsh mountains and that they had
flown him there. The room was left open as he had flown back several times, on
the most recent visit he had arrived with a young female alongside him.

As they moved back down the stairs to the ground floor Tonks
came stumbling into the hall tripping over the umbrella stand, she reached out
to stop herself from falling and grabbed the curtains covering her great-aunt�s
portrait, pulling them off the rail.

As usual the portrait of Mrs. Black started screaming
obscenities at them. �MUDBLOODS, TRAITORS, BEASTS, WHORES, KREACHER CAST THEM FROM
MY�

Her voice was silenced as Harry drew his wand and cast a �Silencio�
at the portrait, he noticed everyone had stopped and were all staring at
him.

�What are you all staring for? I only used Silencio.�

�Harry,� began Moony, �We didn�t know what you said, you
just hissed.�

�What? I thought I�d used English.�

�No, definitely Parseltongue.� confirmed Moody. �I can�t
speak it but when I was at Auror school we were taught to recognise it.�

�How did they manage to do that?� asked Tonks, �There�s nothing
like that now.�

�Well, it only got taught as part of the promotion course
for Senior Aurors, or it did until Malfoy �persuaded� Fudge to cut the
training budget, now no languages are taught, not even other human ones, but
that�s another tale.�

�Sounds like Malfoy has a lot to answer for,� commented
Harry.

�Yeah, I�ve heard he was trying to close down Arthur�s
Department before his little problem in the DoM and subsequent visit to
Azkaban.� Interjected Remus.

�Have they been tried for that yet?� asked Harry.

�No,� Said Tonks, �But rumour has it they�re going for the �I
was under the Imperius� defence again.�

�How does that one hold up, how many people can one person
hold under the Imperius at one time?� asked Harry, �When Crouch was teaching us
he only Imperioed us one at a time, and it only worked when he had his wand on
us.�

�Ah, lad,� said Moody, �Any number can be held at one time,
especially when the spell is cast by a powerful wizard like Riddle, Crouch on
the other hand was using my wand, mind you, if he�d actually been the one to
beat me my wand would have worked better, but it was actually that sneak
Pettigrew that got me from behind while Crouch and the Lestranges attacked from
the front.�

�Now, the training starts tomorrow, I suggest you two spend
the day unpacking your trunks and relaxing.�

�So,� asked Harry, �Who cleaned and decorated the place for
us? It�s looking good.�

�Sirius, myself, and some of the Order.� Said Remus. �It
helped us two pass the time, me between missions for the Order, Sirius because
he wanted to prove to Molly that he could provide a proper home for you. When
the other member saw what we were doing they all helped. Dung tried helping
himself to some of the stuff, right up until Sirius caught him and kicked him out.
Now he only gets in if he�s with Shack,�

�Where�s Kreacher?� asked Harry

�Well, I accidentally left the door to Buckbeak�s room open
the last night there was a full moon, well, just say in the morning there was
another house-elf head to hang up, not that we did, of course, poor Beaky was
ill for days.�

�So is there no house-elf here now?�

�Not quite, there are two from Hogwarts that come with
Dumbledore, one of them is a shy little thing, Winky I think, she keeps out
everyone but Dumbledore�s sight, the other one is Dobby, that is one strange
elf, I don�t think I�ve ever seen anyone wearing so many hats.�

�Yeah, he used to be Malfoy�s until I freed him, Winky used
to be the Crouch�s until Crouch senior freed her, she was a bit of a mess to
begin with but I think Dobby helped her.�

�Not really, Dumbledore is talking about binding her to the
school, but she says she wants to work for a family, only trouble is no family
will take on a disgraced elf.�

While they had been talking the group had made their way
back to the kitchen and had settled round the table, Harry felt his stomach
rumble and as he was about to ask about lunch the Floo flared to life and
Dumbledore stepped out.

�Greetings and felicitations to you all,� he said as he
dusted himself down. �I see you arrived safely and I trust you are getting
settled in?�

Harry and Luna just nodded, Tonks spoke for them all and
said �Ticketty boo, Professor, but by the noise Harry�s stomach is making I
think we need to see to lunch.�

Luna meanwhile was looking at the small creature hiding
behind the Headmaster�s legs.

�Hello, I�m Luna, who are you?�

�Hello, Miss Luna, I is Winky, Miss shouldn�t talk to me I
is a disgraced elf.�

Knowing that Hermione would give him a hard time, but
feeling sorry for the small elf, and also feeling responsible as it was his
wand that had Winky had been caught with Harry spoke up.

�Professor Dumbledore, Remus said that Winky wanted to work
for a family, Kreacher is dead so we could do with an elf here, do you think
she�d work for the House of Potter?�

Harry heard someone take a sharp breath and give a strangled
sob and turned in the direction the noise had come from and found himself
looking at Winky who had tears in her eyes and was twisting the bottom of her
dress nervously.

�Sir would take a disgraced elf to work for him?� stuttered
Winky. �Sir is as great as Dobby is saying, but Dobby wants to work for sir,
and Winky thinks sir needs his Dobby.�

Harry had found a textbook on house-elves in the library at
Hogwarts and had taken a great interest in it. He knew that �disgraced� house-elves
very rarely found work with families and that most of the elves at Hogwarts had
been �disgraced� at one time or another. He also knew that as she didn�t
actually �own� the elves at Hogwarts no matter how many hats or other
items she knitted and left lying around she couldn�t actually free them, after
all if it was as simple as that how would their laundry get done, especially
the boys who tended to leave their clothes scattered everywhere.

He looked between the Headmaster and Winky and saw
Dumbledore give a barely perceptible nod.

�As the Head of the Ancient and Noble House of Potter, I,
Harry James Potter bind Winky the free elf to the House of Potter, if she so
desires.�

Winky�s eyes almost popped out her head as she reached out
and put her left hand into Harry�s right hand and put her right hand on his
heart. �I, Winky the free elf accept the binding to Master Potter and his
Ancient and Noble House, and to his Miss Luna.�

Harry felt an electrical type shock pass through his body
and watched in amazement as the dress Winky was wearing was transfigured into a
maids uniform bearing what he knew to be the Potter family crest.

�Sir?� he asked Dumbledore, �Why is Winky wearing a uniform
and not a tea towel like Dobby did with the Malfoys and the Hogwarts� elves
do?�

�Well, Harry, it depends on the customs and traditions of
the House, the Potters always saw their elves as trusted servants and treated
them kindly, whereas other families, well you know how some see other witches
and wizards who aren�t Purebloods, just think of how they see non-humans.�

�Yeah, I can see that.� He turned to his new elf. �Winky,
welcome to the House of Potter, could you please make us a light lunch? Oh, and
after that there is a room in the attic next to the Owlery that sometimes has a
Hippogriff visit it, please be careful entering it, the next room along is
yours.�

�Yes, Master Harry, Winky understands, spicy pumpkin soup
and roast beef sandwiches will be served in the dining room in thirty minutes,
and no sir you may not eat in the kitchen, the kitchen is for house-elves.�

The group went back through to the sitting room, and Harry
sat down on a loveseat and was immediately joined by Luna.

�Bossy little thing, isn�t she?� said Tonks with a grin. �I
bet you weren�t expecting that.�

�Well the only thing that surprised me was her referring to
Luna as being �my Miss Luna,� I know that elves can anticipate their �Masters�
wishes due to the bonding, but can someone explain the thing with Luna?�

Luna leaned in and whispered, �It�s because we are promised
to each other, the friendship ring you gave me is a betrothal ring in the
Wizarding world, we�re off the market.�

Harry leaned in and they kissed, only realising that the
adults had abandoned them when they heard the door of the sitting room softly
click shut.
