The Truth Of It All

An Old Friend

THIRD PERSON POV

When Harry and the boys landed they were met with the sight of a crying Hermione on the floor while Lilly and Rose were trying to calm her down.

"Uncle Harry I don't know what happened she just started crying when we landed" said Rose when she saw that they arrived.

Harry quickly went over to Hermione and quickly pulled her to his chest. He started whispering soothing words into her ear to calm her down and once she was calm enough he asked her why she was crying.

"We're free we can finally see our familys again" once she said that it finally hit him that they were free and he too started to cry. Once they both calmed down they turned to the kids who were looking at them confused.

" Guys I know your confused and scared but I need you to know that everything will be okay and that we'll explain everything to you later okay" said Hermione looking them all in the eye.

They nodded and finally took a look at their surroundings. They were all standing in front of a big gate with the Potter family crest on it. The crest was of two griffons standing tall and proud. It looked beautiful with the morning light reflecting on it.

Harry walked to the gate and placed one hand on it. It pricked his finger and took some blood. The big black gate parted in the middle and infront of them stood the most beautiful manor they had ever seen.

The kid's jaws all dropped once they saw it. It had peach walls with a bit of red here and there, there was ivy growing up the walls which matched the peach walls perfectly, it had high turrets with lots of windows and there was lots of expensive sport cars and motorcycles in front of it. It had a forest surrounding it and when you looked carefully enough you could see all kinds of majestic animals.

Harry, Hermione and the kids walked up to a large set of double doors. Harry knocked firmly on the door and they all waited, the kids still looking around wide eyed.

Finally the door opened and out came a small creature with big ears and tennis ball sized green eyes.

"Harry Potter sir" said the creature looking at Harry with tears in his eyes.

"Dobby" whispered Harry who immediately fell to his knees and hugged the creature sobbing into the thing's uniform. The kids had never seen their father/uncle cry like that. He had always been their hero and to see him cry like this was weird for them.

Finally Harry stopped crying and let the thing go. The thing looked behind Harry and saw the kids.

"Harry Potter's children" he shouted and started hugging the life out of them.

"Kids this is dobby my house elf and one of my oldest friends" said Harry looking at them with a smile on his face.

" Mum what's a house elf" said Rose looking at her mother.

Dobby noticing who she was talking to quickly ran over to Hermione and started hugging her.

"A house elf is someone who is tied to serve a lord or lady"said hermione laughing and hugging dobby back.

"So they're like servents, isn't that barbaric" said Rose while Lilly nodded agreeing with her.

"They have to because they feed off their masters magic to survive or else they will die or slowly become insane" said Hermione who looked at them with a loving smile on her face.

"Oh okay" they said together. They looked at each other and started laughing. Hermione and Harry shared a look remembering what they came here for.

"Dobby can you call winky and ask her to bring all our old clothing out of storage please" said Harry who's face turned serious once he remembered what is going on.

"Of course I'll even bring some tea to warm you up" said dobby once he saw Hugo shiver from the cold as though the sun was out it was still five in the morning.

And with that they all went inside with Harry and Hermione sharing dark looks because they will have to tell the kids the truth soon.
