Almost two weeks later… Harry slowly opened his eyes, eyes that were so heavy he could barely get them open. He was so drained of energy. He felt like his body had been trampled by a hippogriff. He moved his arm. No, make that a heard of hippogriffs. He was in a very large and extremely comfortable bed which was in what looked like, at least from what he could tell, a very large but nicely furnished and very fancy bedroom. Mattie came waltzing in the door with a big grin on her face (she had an alert on Harry so she would know when he awoke). She walked up to the bed where Harry was still laying trying to see everything. "Mattie?" Harry barely croaked out. "Do not talk yet Harry. Drink this water then drink this potion. You have been out for almost two weeks after you released the bind on your magic. Simon recommended letting you sleep it off." Harry drank the water Mattie gave him then she traded him for the pepper-up potion which he took in one go. He immediately felt some energy return and sat up slowly on his bed. "Whoa, that has some kick. I almost feel human again."
                            "That is some of Elizabeth's special pepper-up potion. It should get you to the point to eat something which of course food has its own magic for the body. You will have your strength back in no time." Lucy showed up with some soup for Harry while Mattie was helping him sit up more with some pillows propping him up. Lucy floated the tray of soup over to Harry so it rested over his lap. "Hi, Lucy. It is good to see you again," said Harry when he looked up from his tray. Lucy was shocked. She never expected Harry to remember her name after meeting her once in the Banquet Hall with all the other elves there but she was very pleased that he did. "It is very good to see you awake Master.. I-I mean Harry. We were all worried about you. Please eat your soup so you can get your strength back." "Yes, ma'am" replied Harry with a grin. Lucy grinned back then looked embarrassed. She turned to leave but Harry spoke to her again so she turned back around. "Oh, Lucy, I forgot." "What's that H-Harry?" "Thanks for the soup!"
"You're welcome, Harry" she said with a shy smile. She left with a pop. "Well, you seem to be in good spirits or is it grandma's potion?" asked Mattie.
                            "Well, you seem to be in good spirits or is it grandma's potion?" asked Mattie. "I think it's because I am finally home." That made Mattie smile. Harry began eating his soup and enjoying his pumpkin juice. After Harry completed his soup and juice he sat there for a minute enjoying the food on his stomach. After not eating solid food for so long it felt good. Then it clicked in his head. "Mattie, how long did you say I slept?" "You were out for almost two weeks." "Two weeks? Oh no! Dobby…Dumbledore…and other people are going to be looking for me and they will not be able to find me!" "Calm down Harry. Dobby and I took care of your issues for you. When you did not awake the next morning I found Dobby and explained what was going on. We both went to your Aunt's house and performed the magic so they would think you were in your room. Plus, if anyone comes to your Aunt's house looking for you an alert will come to you via your wand."
           "In addition, I spoke to Dobby so you can use his name now. He will only come when you specifically call for him. Using his name in normal conversations will no longer summon him." "Thanks Matty" " I also took the liberty to to bring you two wand holsters that can be adjusted to your arms or legs. Your wand and Simon's wands are in the holsters." Matty pointed to the wands that were sitting next to him on the bedside table. They looked to be made of dark brown leather but very thin so that they could hide easier under your clothes. "Wow that's very nice of you Matty thank you so much." "Your welcome Harry, besides you saw all of the wands? We have quite a few and holsters around too." Thanks again Matty. I have always wanted a wand holster."
                         "Harry if you are feeling better now I think it's time to get ready for the day. You just had lunch so it's just a little past noon. Take you time so that you don't fall. I will stay with you to make sure that you can make it to the bathroom safely then I will leave to give you some privacy to shower and get dressed. Your clothes have been cleaned and pressed. I will leave them on your bed for you." "This is the matter suite. Since you are the master now it is now yours. It is definitely the largest in the manor. We hope you like it."
                        Harry slowly got off the bed. He was wearing some pajamas that he had never seen before but they were so comfortable. He stood up slowly and managed to maintain his balance under Matty's watchful gaze. Talking some slow steps at first as he began to feel some of his strength coming back. Harry then took a walk around the room to get a feel of his body. "It looks great Matty and the bed is incredible. I love it. Maybe if you had thrown me on an old and lumpy one I wouldn't have slept so long." "Ok. I can see that you are doing just fine so I shall leave. I am going to attend to my other duties so call if you are in need of me. I mean it Harry." "Yes mother" Harry said as he slowly made his way to the bathroom noticing how grand it was. Matty smiled and popped out giving Harry some privacy.
