The One Who Bears The Hallows

Chapter 2

After experimenting with his magic for the first time Delio had taken Harry to his manor, an old house which looked as if it belonged in a Victorian documentary rather than a place to live. Arriving at their destination, Delio had removed his hood to reveal a man in what appeared to be his late thirties' with Hazel eyes and auburn hair with tufts of grey woven here and there, he also had the shortcomings of a beard growing- If you could call it that. There were large gardens which extended into forests for magical and non-magical animals alike, while entering the manor Harry thought he had saw something moving in the bushes but was too tired to ask though he might ask now for what particular creatures lived in the forest- He found magic creatures VERY interesting. His new guardian had also taught him how to concentrate his magic into a singular ball of energy which followed him across the halls, like a lost puppy. Another thing that Harry discovered was that Caedo had taken to living in the greenery which surrounded the house, but since spotting him had promptly declared himself Harry's 'protector', while being considerably tiny in comparison, if Delio had wanted to comment on the situation he refrained from doing so and instead planted a yew tree about a foot taller than Harry next to his bed. The tree as it turned out had been the home of some angry bowtruckles which were non too pleased with their new living arrangements, though after some attempted debates the message seemed to have gotten through and they begrudgingly accepted their new home and seemed to have taken a liking to Harry as a bonus! Yet still had feuds with Caedo who kept trying to digest them.
And yes!
Harry now had a room! Not a cupboard but an actual bedroom that put the dursleys house to shame, plants crawled up the walls and were strung from the ceiling, a large king size bed sat in the middle of the room with a curved window at its head. The whole room was green and black colour schemed with a hint of white every now and then. Large ornate chests sat at the opposite end of the room, though for now they sat empty. Delio had also promised to take him to Diagon Alley after Harry had asked about it in his explanation of the wizarding world- Which Harry found fascinating!
It really was a wonder what wizards had done under the radar of non-magic people for so long!

"Harry are you paying attention?"
Looking up with a sheepish grin Harry began to concentrate on the work set before him, He was tasked with summoning a book. Delio had started giving him daily lessons on different wizarding subjects. Arithmacy, The dark arts, Ancient runes, Etiquette, Potions and currently- Charms.
"ACCIO BOOK." Harry yelled, Yet as if mocking him all the book did was levitate a few inches before falling back to the ground. Huffing he attempted it again,
"ACCIO!"- "ACCIO!!!"- "ACCIO-ACCIO-AC-"
With a bang the book exploded into an array of burnt manuscripts, grunting he turned to face his teacher.

"The books broken!!" He said crossing his arms while looking grudgingly looking to the side.
Sighing Delio kneeled to face Harry,
"Harry, Magic is apart of us, and as a being it doesn't like to be ordered- though some times we must be stern to get it to listen, we must treat it tenderly, like an old friend. Don't order it, ask it- be austere yet respectful." He smiled.
Harry stared doubtfully at the charred paper.
Chuckling, Delio stood,
"In time you will understand, now try!" With a flick of his hand he summoned a new book and gestured for Harry to continue.
Reluctantly Harry held out his hand and shouted,
"Accio Book!" Unlike before the book stumbled and rushed to Harrys' open palm.
Staring awe struck at the book between his fingers he turned to face Delio who stood with a grin,
"Did you see! I did it!!" Harry shoved down the urge to fist bump the air which had been deemed 'childish' in his wizarding etiquette lessons.
"Yes, Yes you did my little snake."
"Snake?" Harry questioned earning a gentle smile in response,
"Yeah, I thought I'd give you a little nickname- no doubt you'll be sorted into Slytherin in the future and of course parseltongue- you know?" Delio replied rubbing his neck,
"Do you like it?"
Harry thought for a while,
"Y-yeah I like it, I like it alot- I've never had a nickname-" He rambled However he had another question on his mind, they had spoke about Hogwarts. Their house system and classes.
"What if I get another house- y'know, other than Slytherin?, Will you still care for me?"
Tears gathered at the corners of Harry's eyes.
