CHAPTER
6. The Dumbledore
Family Vault
We
entered the dark vault and as our eyes slowly got used to our
surroundings, we saw we were in a very large, dark room, with a very
high ceiling supported by white pillars. I could see a tapestry that
looked like thousands of years old on the opposite wall, a hundred
feet away. Just as we stepped in further, several torches lit up on
their own, and soon the whole place was visible.
'Why
the hell would Dumbledore give this vault and its content to memuttered Harry to himself.
We
started looking around for clues. Chests full of gold, a crown, dark
red carpets with amazing drawings, paintings representing wizards I
didn't know. Some really old furniture gave to the place a calm
feeling. Different colored lights were visible there and there, due
to magical objects surely. At the far corner of the huge room were
some weird-looking stuff animals that looked rather alive in my
taste, and a large kind of tapestry on the stoned wall. It read
'Arbre Généalogique', and it was indeed a tree
representing a very large wizarding family for several hundred of
years. The heads of the people figuring on it were moving, or
smiling.
This
was actually the Dumbledore family tree.
-
"Hey Harry, come here! I think I found something!"
He
had been at the other side of the chamber and came back holding
something in his hand. It was a golden cup.
The
tree was so large we couldn't even find Albus Dumbledore's name on
the springs of the tree! This was very interesting, but Harry wasn't
exactly his heir, so why did he give the vault to him? I suddenly
spotted something.
-
"Harry look! There is.. there is my name down there!"
Sure
enough, a small black name reading Lena Dumbledore was on the
tapestry, at the bottom of the tapestry. A thin line was linking it
to my mother, Anna Dumbledore, and to my father, Clark Valdiste. The
strange thing was that there was no link between my mother and
father.
'That
would be why she is named Dumbledore, from her mother. Her father
would have called her her mother's last name to remember her.'
thought Harry.
-"My
parents were never married…" I said sadly. "My father
told me one day that my last name was Dumbledore from my mum, because
he had wished to keep two things from her: a daughter and a name.
That seemed strange, but now I understand, seeing this gigantic,
famous, rich and powerful family that was my mother's..." I
continued in a calm voice.
-"And
yours." added Harry.
The
name Anna Dumbledore was linked to Albus Dumbledore and Vivian
Dumbledore, whose maid name was Erudit. My mother, Anna, was Albus
Dumbledore's daughter then. So I was
his granddaughter. But then, why didn't I have any magical power?
This was getting frustrating.
Harry
straightened up, continued his tour of the room, and found a library,
containing quite a lot of books. His eyes fell one one that wasn't
put away, but simply laid on a confortable-looking sofa. He picked it
up, and as I was coming from behind his back, read the title: Why
Vampiric families always survive and what are their secret powers.
“Well,
that’s... unexpected. The Dumbledores, a vampiric family? No way!
From what I’ve seen on the family tree, they’re as old as the
Hogwarts’ founders!” muttered Harry. This was becoming even more
of a mystery.
I
kept looking around. Some more sofa, high shelves with books and
silvery objects on them, and... -a strange pale blue light?- coming
from behind the “library”. I went around the shelves, and got
nearer to the heavy velvet curtains that were hiding... a wooden,
king-sized bed. I did a few steps slowly, pulled a bit the curtain…
and that's when I freaked out. There were two people lying on
the blue velvet covers of the bed. I promise I had never been so
scared before. I stopped dead, and looked at the bodies to see if
they were moving. Stupid reaction, really, as the goblin had just
told me that the vault had been locked for several hundreds of
years...
But
they were very still, so I decided it would be safe to take a closer
look, after calling Harry. I took a step, and another one, and went
near the bed. A man and a woman were lying on the bed, both looking
as if they were sleeping peacefully. I couldn’t understand how
these two bodies could still look so… alive, and fresh, if they had
been there for several decades. Well, I did really hope that they
wouldn't wake up. The whole scene was really frightening. I didn't
need two zombies waking up and scaring the hell out of me.
And of course, this
was what happened…
I
didn’t usually look for trouble; trouble found me... As I had come
closer, I hadn’t noticed that the pale blue light had started to
glow darker, and soon I found that my surroundings were very dark,
and so hot. While something moved near me, I felt my legs give way
and all went black.
