Heir of the Founders

New Wands

Chapter 3

Harry and Hermione landed on the ground easily. They were greeted by an elf. "Master Potter! Master Potter! You are finally here! And you have Mistress Grangy! Oh, Tibby! Spinky! Bob! Boris! Tara! Tinkly! Come here! Master and Mistress have finally arrived!" The elf said excitedly. All of a sudden, little pops were heard around the room and the next thing they knew, elves were hugging their legs and introducing themselves. The elf they were talking to's name was Lishy. Once everyone had introduced themselves, Lishy spoke again.

"It's so wonderful to see you Master and Mistress!" Hermione started boiling with anger. She didn't like elves being slaves, so Harry spoke quickly.

"Please, call us by Harry and Hermione. We just want to say something. When talking to us, we are not you superiors, we are equals. If we are able to do something we will do it. If we have asked you to do something and you feel tired, just tell us and don't be shy, because we can ask another elf or if you want to do it, you can have a sleep and then do it. If you do something wrong just tell us but we forbid you all to punish yourselves in any way. Everyone makes mistakes so don't worry." Once Harry had finished, Hermione looked up at him, smiling.

"Harry is so great! We is promising never to do that! Would you like me to explain everything?" This time it was Tara that spoke up.

"Please, Tara" said Hermione.

"This is Potter Manor. Only Harry and Hermy can enter this castle without harm being done to them. If you have people who you would like to come over, you have to give them a password and they will have to say it to the Sphinx guarding the castle entrance. If they give the wrong password, or if the Sphinx has not been told that the are coming, they will be injured and if they try to forcefully enter, they will be killed. There are many wards surrounding this area, including portkey wards. You were able to come ing because you are both the owners. There are many magical beings here, some that are always guarding and some that will only come out when the castle is under attack or you say so. The ones that are your pets are an Antiopdean Opaleye, which is a type of dragon that people say is the most beautiful of the dragons, a phoenix, a basilisk, and a demiguise, which is a type of creäture that looks like an ape, but can make itself invisible to everyone but you both when threatened. The basilisk has not yet fully grown, and its eyes will not effect anyone unless you say for it to. Obviously Harry will have to look after it as he speaks its language, and it can go anywhere with you as it can embed itself in your skin without doing any harm to you, just making itself look like a tattoo. You can still talk to it and it will only come out on your commands or if it has been given permission. We shan't show you around because a Griffindor always finds their way." Tara said with a wink.

"Ok Tara, could you please have lunch sorted by the time we get back? We just need to go to Diagon Alley to pick up a few things." Harry said. Hermione looked at him confused but didn't ask any questions.

"Of course Harry and Hermy." replied Tara, excitement seeping through her voice.

"Ok, well we best be off now. Goodbye!" said Harry and Hermione together. They then did something that they had never done before. They apparated.

Mean while, Albus Dumbledore had just received a letter from Gringotts. He was already having a bad day because he had just been told by a member of the Order of the Phoenix that Harry Potter was no longer in Privet drive. He became nervous because he didn't know where he was or in fact, where Hermione Granger was. This worried him because he didn't have them under his control. As he read over the letter telling him that he was no longer the legal guardien of the pair or the account manager, and money had stopped going into Molly, Ronald and Ginevra Weasley's account and his, Moody came in.
