The Chambers doing

Chapter 13 - The Marauders Legacy

In the morning, Harry and Ginny woke up together after a much better night's sleep than the previous one, further instilling confidence in them that it was due to them being in the same bed. After a short while of just cuddling together, they headed out of the bedroom for the door to the third floor that they had entered the night before. As they had gotten a better nights sleep, they needed to get to breakfast quickly before it finished. However, as they passed through the main room, hand in hand, Godric cleared his throat from the portrait above the fire. The young teens paused and turned to look at him, expectantly.

"I've thought of a way you can add more people to the access list of this room so long as you have a connection of sorts to them. Also, they have to be touching either of you to gain access each time, but it is better than nothing. That means you are still unable to be found when you don't want to be, and are alone."

"How do we do it?" Harry asked, intrigued. It would be good if they could get the twin Weasley brothers into this room with them, so they could talk with the knowledge that no one could possibly overhear anything they had to say, that might be better off kept secret. Ginny was just excited at the thought.

"There is a slightly complicated spell, which I have no doubt either of you will be able to perform, and as far as I know it only works on family members for now. You must cast it on each person you wish to enter, but it is only needed once per person. The incantation is Familia add speravimus. From then on, they may enter with either one of you, but never on their own. I suggest you keep the number of people you add to a minimum. I'm sure you want your privacy." He chuckled.

Blushing, they thanked Godric, and headed down to breakfast, pleased with the knowledge that they wouldn't be the only two ever able to access Godric's Rooms. Walking in to the Great Hall hand in hand caused an increase in muttering, it was clear that somehow the Hogwarts rumour mill hadn't picked up yet on their current status as 'dating' and passed the news around the school. They weren't too bothered, the sooner everyone found out they were together the better.

Sitting down next to Fred and George, they muttered a request to speak to them after breakfast. All four then devoured their meal as quickly as possible, the Weasleys emulating Ron slightly in their desire to finish quickly, before the two third years headed up to the common room, having finished first. Harry collected his invisibility cloak, while Ginny made an appearance in her dorm to keep up pretences. It would be better if they were both seen in the dorm rooms at least periodically. They then headed down to the grounds, just outside the entrance hall, to await the Twins.

As soon as Fred and George arrived, the four teenagers headed over to a secluded corner. Harry pulled the cloak out, held it in front of him, and looked at it critically for a moment.

"Godric, is that an invisibility cloak?" Exclaimed Fred, or was it George? Harry made a mental note to at some point find a way to tell the Twins apart.

"Yeah, it was my Dad's. I don't think its big enough though, for all of us." He explained, "And I don't want to damage it - I don't know what casting an enlargement charm on it would do to the invisibility magic it contains."

"It shouldn't affect it." The other twin commented thoughtfully.

"Yeah, we've found that although our prank items..."

"... aren't generally good at holding more than one spell..."

"... magical objects themselves..."

"... or those mass produced for a purpose - don't forget, My esteemed brother!" George cut in.

"Yeah, or those, can hold more magic than they were originally designed with!" Fred finished triumphantly, while Harry just shook his head at the twin talk, trying to follow along, and Ginny watched on, used to it by now, having lived with it for the past twelve years.
