“Alright let’s get started. Is there a place where Harry and I can go, sit down talk and run some tests? It might be less overwhelming if there aren’t that many people around,” Bill spoke.
“Sure you guys can use the front sitting room. It’s got a nice view of the backyard,” Sirius replied. “Follow me.”
Heading out Sirius looked over his shoulder to make sure that Harry and Bill were following in his wake. Seeing that they were he proceeded to lead them up the stairs and onto the main floor. Steering to the left they walked down the front hallway. Stopping by the third door on the right side Sirius gestured for them to enter.
“Here ya guys go just holler for an elf if you need anything. Harry knows how to find us if needed.” Turning he left them to their work.
Walking into the room Harry took a seat on the couch facing the bay windows looking out to the backyard. Keeping a safe distance between them Bill sat down to Harry’s right.
“Okay I’m going to start by running a couple of scans to see what I’m dealing with here. If I can pin point the make up of the curse and what possible spells and runes can help your healer to reverse it and hopefully completely heal the skin.”
“You have been informed of what we assume the ‘curse’ is behind it right?”
“Yes Dad filled me in.”
“Alright just making sure. I’m not exactly too keen to keep this in any longer and I think we would all like to avoid another resurrection as well.”
“I can definitely agree with that. All right I’m just going to get started but don’t worry you don’t have to stay perfectly still or no talking or anything like that. I want to see how it reacts when you’re doing something ordinary or that you would do every day. Sound good?”
“Yea. Can I ask you something,” Harry asked watching as Bill began to wave his wand and a magical diagnostic parchment appeared automatically jotting down results.
“Yea fire away.”
“What made you want to become a curse-breaker at Gringotts?”
“Well it kind of took of while at Hogwarts. I hated runes but was really good at it. The professor kept asking if I would continue on in her class, so I did. I basically mastered every level without challenge. My last year there I ended up apprenticing under her and I was shown this whole other side to runes. The projects we worked on were pretty awesome. Once graduated, I took up a job in Egypt to continue my studies of runes and curses through the ancient Egyptians. It was within the last year, two years that I was offered my post at Gringotts and transferred back to England.
“That’s it?”
“Yup, fairly simple story. Like I said I never thought I would work with runes and arithmancy,” Bill explained still waving his wand over Harry. “But working with history and curses in the objects we have at Gringotts has made it well worth it. As does being able to consult and help solve cases like this one.”
“Cool,” Harry replied. Looking down then back at Bill, “I’m not sure what I want to do when I get older. I know Sirius would want me to be an Auror and Draco is all for me playing Quidditch professionally, but I don’t think either are for me. I don’t want my entire existence to be in the spotlight, you know? And I just don’t know what else I would be good at.”
“There are a lot of careers out there.”
“Such as?”
“Well you could be a spell creator, design wands, be a shop owner, mediwizard, potion master, and there are many more out there. I am sure Severus could get pamphlets for you since he does that for his own house, and Professor Flitwick probably could as well. “
With a flick of his wand the parchment behind him froze before floating up in front of him. Quickly Bill began to scroll through all the information. Sighing he shook his head. Harry could be fixed; it would just take a good chunk of time.
“The good news is I can fix this with the help of your mediwizard. It will take a good majority of the day, but it seems that should be the worst of the situation.”
“Well that’s good. We could plan it for Saturday? Give you both some time to prepare together and me a day to relax after,” Harry spoke thoughtfully.
“Saturday should work just fine,” Bill smiled. “So tell me besides careers worries and a Horocrux in you, how’s it been going?”
“Well Professor Snape is my biological father,” Harry started. “He basically shouted it in Dumbledore’s face today so I guess it’s no longer a secret.”
“Wow. Snape’s your dad,” Bill looked a bit stunned. “How long have you known?”
“Since I received my Hogwarts letter. Lily and James had written letters to be delivered on my 11th and 17th birthdays, as well as my wedding day apparently. They left them with the Goblins in case anything happened to them.”
“Well if he blew up on Dumbledore he can’t be all that bad can he?”
“No and he’s supportive of me. I couldn’t ask for better parents.”
“I’m happy for you Harry! So dish, any girlfriends or boyfriends? Extreme daring stunts? Ron has regaled me with tales of this Harry Potter.”
Blushing Harry ducked his head down. “One girlfriend and it ended terribly. I’ve had two previous boyfriends both were older and lasted longer. One wasn’t a nice split but I think that has to do with him dating me for having lived through the killing curse.”
“Makes sense. I dated two girls in school but men are really more towards my taste. Just clicks better.”
“I know what you mean. Honestly being single gets lonely but it’s way to difficult to meet genuine people. But as they say I have my whole life ahead of me right?”
“Wise advice even if it can get annoying,” Bill laughed.
“Oh I know,” Harry chuckled himself. Bill seemed like a good person and Harry was actually quite happy to have met him.
Author's Note:
So I know I said updates would be sooner.... But have ya'll met Life? Cuz it seriously has a mind of it's own and how it wants my priorities to be whether I agree or not. The injustice of it all is just too unfair to think of.
I would like to say a special thanks to Jan and Darkened_Rose for your well wishes. Things have been just a bit off kilter ever since.
I am currently working on chapter seven. I swear!! I know this chapter is short but I figure ya'll deserve one for having waited this long. Hopefully I can have seven out soon!
Again thank you to all who have reviewed and continue to read and rate!!!
