Double Trouble - HP

⚜EXPLANATIONS⚜

"Who are you?" 

"Hmm~ I am your Magical Guardian." 

**Silence**

"Who are you?" 

"Why I am your Magical Guardian, of course."

**Silence** 

"Who are-" but Harry didn't let the teenager complete the sentence.

"We have reached." He informed far from annoyed or irritated. He knew what the boy was trying to do...after all, he was Harry himself....just a bit younger. He knew the boy better than he knew himself. 

Harry calmly opened the polished doors and stepped aside for the boy to enter. His younger-self still looked wary and annoyed at his lack of reaction but entered the room nonetheless, Harry following behind him. 

As soon as he reached inside, Harry felt all the tension in his shoulders leaving. He felt himself relax at the feeling of coming back home. Though it was not as homely and warm as Grimmauld Place, this building was still close to Harry's heart. 

This place had Lily Potter's essence here...

He could still hear her laughter ringing in this place. 

He could still feel the warmth the place excluded, the warmth of his mother, his father, Moony and...Padfoot and hell, even the stinky rat's. 

Harry closed his eyes reminiscing  in the memories the house held....after all, Godric's Hallow was where it all began.   

"Where are we?" 

Harry was brought out of his daze by the question. He watched interestedly as the...boy's curious gaze travelled all around the room with interest, wonder and awe. 

"...where it all began..." Harry answered observing the teenager's reactions. The boy looked at him in confusion, urging Harry to elaborate. 

"Godric's Hallow." at Harry's curt reply, the boy's eyes widened as looked around dazed, eyes filled with unsaid emotions. They were currently standing in the living room of the cozy cottage. Harry had spent a fair amount of galleons on the proper renovation of the house. 

No longer existed the barely standing cottage and instead of the dusty and destroyed living room, now the room was painted with pale yellow almost white paint. The furniture was of the best quality and neatly placed in the room. The fire place had been changed as well and now, instead of the usual wooden carvings there were lily flowers carved onto it. And on the center wall hung a beautifully carved representation of a big dog, a stag, a wolf and a small rat all in the middle of a flower ring made of lilies. 

"How?" was the only word the boy could form as he touched the walls with immense gentleness. 

Finally, Harry decided to elaborate, "The house has been under renovation for the past 4 months. I have only shifted here last week...and so will you if you wish too." By then, he had the boy's full attention. The boy was looking at him more with curiosity then wariness. 

"Who are you?" the teen repeated the question again, this time staring unblinkingly at Harry. 

"As I said before, I am your Magical Guardian." seeing that the boy was about to interrupt him, Harry continued using his authoritative voice. "Your new Magical Guardian to be more clear." At this the boy gained a confused and lost expression. 

'He really was a fool back then, wasn't he? Wearing his expressions openly for everyone to see...'

"Do you know who a Magical Guardian is Harry?" It sounded weird to address the other by his own name.
