Chapter
10: Potter Manor
<>
Harry
and Remus appear before a massive stone wall. It was very old and
showed the signs of dis-use and decay. Vines covered any signs of a
gate.
<>
“ So
what now “ Harry asked. “ Where do you think the gate is?”
<>
“ I
don’t know. I never visited James here. Try approaching the
wall . Maybe the gate is visible only if you clear some type of ward
“ Remus suggested.
<>
Harry
went forward and touched the wall. The air seemed to crackle and hum
around him. Suddenly a gate appeared. It was rod iron with a design
of interwoven birds and flowers on it.
<>
“ Wow
this gate is beautiful “ said Harry.
<>
“ I
don’t see it “ stated Remus. He approached Harry.
<>
“ Here
take my hand, see if it makes a difference “ Harry said.
<>
Remus
took Harry’s hand and suddenly he could see the gate too. “
Shall we “ he asked.
<>
Harry
pushed on the gate. It glowed and slowly opened. They went through
it together hand in hand. ‘ I could get use to this ‘
they both thought. Once passed the gate there was a long winding
road. Remus (rather reluctantly) let go of Harry’s hand and
they walked up the road.
<>
“ I
wonder how far away the house is, “ said Harry.
<>
“ I
guess we will have to wait and see “ chuckled Remus.
<>
“ Race
you, I haven’t gone for my run in a few days “ said
Harry. With that he took off up the road, Remus in hot pursuit.
<>
After
about five minutes the road turned to the left and a grand house came
into view. Harry stopped to stare at it and Remus caught up to him.
<>
“ Brat. Give an old guy
some warning before you do that “ Remus
panted. “ Why did you stop?”
<>
“ That
can’t be my house can it, “ Harry asked in awe.
<>
Remus
looked in the direction that Harry was staring but he couldn’t
see a thing. ‘ Guess I have to hold his hand again. Yes I
could definitely get use to this.' Remus grabbed Harry’s
hand and the house came into view. It was huge and by the look of it
very old. It was mostly brick with turrets and marble pillars along
the entrance . Ivy grew amuck, covering a good portion of the
walls. The grounds were well maintained and beautifully landscaped,
trees and flower beds abound.
<>
“ Well
are we just going to stand here and stare at it all day or are we
going to check it out “ asked Remus.
<>
Harry
snapped out of his daze, “ sorry, let’s go “
<>
They
walked to the house. Harry put his hand on the large oak door and it
sprang open. They entered the house and stopped inside the foyer. Its
floor was marble with a grand staircase in the centre of the room
. Several doors lead off to the sides of the room. The house was
sparkling clean and well cared for, the reasons for which suddenly
appeared with a pop. Six house-elves with barely contained
excitement on their faces stood before them. One stepped forward.
<>
“ Hello
Master Harry Potter sir. I’m Pootin, we is glad you finally
came Master Harry Potter sir. “
<>
“ Hello. Who are the
rest of you? “
<>
“ Master
we is named “, the house-elf pointed to each of the others , “
Twinkle, Dimple, Lipplin, Boopsey, and Muffin “.
<>
“ Hello
, nice to meet all of you “ Harry said.
<>
The
house-elves looked shocked.
<>
“ We
is hearing about Master Harry Potter great kindness but did not know
if it was true “ said Muffin.
<>
“ Could
one of you please show us around the house “ asked Remus.
<>
“ Oh
yes sirs. We is able to do that sirs, “ chirped Pootin. “
Please follow me Master Harry Potter and other sir “.
<>
Harry
groaned. “ Please don’t call me master. I really,
really hate that “. The house-elves started to object but he
put up his hand. “ Just Harry or sir if you feel you must but
I forbid you to call me master. “
<>
“ Yes
Harry Potter sir “ they all chimed.
<>
“ Thank
you . This is Remus Lupin, he will be around here a lot. Please do
as he asks as well “.
<>
“ Ok
Harry Potter sir. Would yous like to be seeing the house now “.
<>
“ Yes.
“ They started to follow the house-elf only to realize that
they were still holding hands. They broke apart, both blushing
slightly.
<>
The
ground floor consisted of a parlour, formal diningroom, livingroom,
kitchen, breakfast room, library, powder room, great room and a
study. The second level had six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a
familyroom / childrens library. The attic level had an additional
bedroom and a storage area. The rear grounds had a rose garden,
vegetable garden , a small lake and a field area that could double as
a Quidditch pitch.
<>
Harry
asked Pootin, “ where are we anyway? “
<>
“ Scotland
Harry Potter sir.”
<>
“ How
big is this property, “ asked Remus.
<>
“ 25
acres sirs, the forest surrounds the house and there is an another
lake further away from the house. The nearer town is 40 miles or so.
You are quite alone here sirs. “
<>
“ Wow
this is amazing Remus. I think I will move here for the rest of the
summer. I have plenty of room to train and it will be so great to be
able to fly whenever I want. I can even take my bike here . Will you
move in here with me please? “
<>
Remus
did not have to think twice. He wanted to be with Harry whatever way
he could.
<>
“ Sure
Harry, I can help you train. Actually I think with your new powers
you maybe able to take some of your NEWTS early. Dumbledore wants me
to teach DADA again , maybe you could be a teacher’s aide this
year. You will easily test out of DADA and probably charms as well.
“
<>
“ Do
you think Dumbledore would approve of that after yesterday? “
<>
“ We
had discussed this earlier and he thought it was a good idea. Now
I’m sure he is anxious to keep on your good side and will
definitely agree to it, “ laughed Remus.
<>
Harry
laughed as well.
<>
“ We
should probably head back, I’m sure your friends are anxious
to spend some time with you. “
<>
“ I
suppose we should. I don’t know if I should ask them to come
here or not. “
<>
“ What
does your gut tell you, “ asked Remus.
<>
“ I
know they will be hurt if I don’t let them come too but I don’t
know if I can stand Mrs. Weasley trying to baby me and Hermione’s
lectures. Plus I really need to get a handle on these new powers,
see what else I can do.”
<>
“ Well
you could always tell them that you need the time alone to study and
train without distractions . It’s the truth and Hermione would
never stand in the way of you studying.” Harry laughed. “
You could offer to let them visit nearer to the end of summer “
said Remus.
<>
“ Great
idea Remus, that will work. I really rather it just be you and I
here. “
<>
‘ Me
too Harry, me too ‘ thought Remus.
<>
They
bid the house-elves farewell, telling them prepare for them to
return in one or two days. They walked back to the gate and
apparated back to Grimmauld Place.
