I do not own any of the Harry Potter books or any characters found therein. I make no profit from these stories. Hell, the plots not even really mine. The syntax and diction of the story is all I own.

Chapter 4: Discovery
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N:) Okay people, please don't kill me for what i'm about to do but its one in the morning and I haven't been sleeping well for about 2 weeks now so my imagination is about dead. So, i'm borrowing a few characters from other shows and comics. There will still be a few characters that are original. I can't really help myself in that aspect, but most-from this chapter at least-will be borrowed.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any characters there-in. I don't own the X-men or any characters there-in, I'm just borrowing a few. Ditto for the Inuyasha characters.
Chapter 4: Discovery _
As Harry followed the man, he took note of the fact that no one was willing to even look at him now, as opposed to their previous persistant behaviour. From the display of strength earlier, he had no doubt that the man before him was dangerous and this new evidence only served to support that hypothesis.
Though the man had helped him before Harry was all too aware of the fact that most people would have ignored the situation in favor of their own matters. The mans actions could just be a sign of confidence or it could mean that he had ulterior motives. Either way, Harry decided to keep his gaurd up. He had been tricked one too many times before.
After a few minutes more of travel, they reached an area that was much wider and easier to move around in. Harry was surprised to see a beautiful fountain crafted from some sort of white stone standing in the middle of what could only be described as a small town square. Sectioned circles of concrete tiles surrounded the fountain. The farther from the faountain the tiles got the darker gray they seemed to turn and the messier they seemed to get until they turned into the cracked, black, moss-covered stones that lay at Harry's feet and led further into Knockturn alley.
The buildings that lined the small clearing seemed to be mostly Pubs and Inns. The space above the fountain allowed sunlight in, which in turn created a much more cheerful atmosphere. Harry also noticed that people seemed to drift into the small square from one or two dark alleys between the buildings. When they stepped out of the shadows they would lower their hoods and opened their cloaks. Any menace they might have previously held seemed to disappear. It was this somewhat odd behaviour that finally made it click for Harry.
"Is this Haven Square?" he asked his silent companion. The man had not moved since they had reached the square, allowing him to take everything him. Something for which he was truly grateful.
"You know of it?" The man sounded - and looked - surprised. Harry didn't blame him. The only reason he even knew it existed was because of a conversation he had over heard between two Slytherin 3rd years. One of them had mentioned that their mother had been planning to meet a friend in Knockturn alley at Haven Square.
"I've heard of it." He didn't mention that this had been his planned destination all along.
After giving Harry a long look the man finally said, "Do you know of its history?" A brief shake of the head from Harry and he continued. "It was created by two of the founders of Hogwarts. Its story - or rather, the fountains since most of these buildings weren't here back then - starts directly after Salazar Slytherin left Hogwarts. When they had decided to start the school all the founders had been friends. However, as the school grew they began to argue more and more until finally Salazar left. But even then, Godric Gryffindor considered him a friend and didn't want to see him leave, so he tracked Slytherin down until he finally caught up with him here. Slytherin was still furious at what he considered the naivette of the other founders, he was famous for his short temper, so when Godric confronted him he attacked the other wizard. After a long duel which left both of them exhausted, but neither seriously injured, Gryffindor was finally able to convince his counterpart to discuss the problem with him. It took Godric almost a full day of proposing compromise after compromise to finally accept that Salazar was just too different from him and the other founders and that it would be best for all if he left the school. However, before they parted, they did reach some form of an agreement. Even though he would not be there, Slytherin House would remain open and in return, Salazar would owl him regularly in order to keep their friendship alive. Before they left they combined their magic and enchanted this whole area so that no act of violence could be commited. The fountain you see is more than just a symbol of peace, it actually keeps the enchantment going. It taps into one of the veins of 'Natural' magic that flows through the earth and supplies the spell with power."
"But I thought Slytherin and Gryffindor were enemies?"
"Thats nothing more than an old rumor that has gone too far. Since the alleys that lead here are rumored to have ties to dark magic, the majority of the wizarding population never attempt to come this far. Over time its almost been forgotten, and along with it, its history. Once the knowledge of this place left the general population, all they had to go on concerning the relationship between the two founders was the fact that they had a difference of opinion which caused Salazar to leave."
"Makes sense I guess. I have more questions if you don't mind, but first lets get something to eat. I'm starving."
"Of course." The stranger led Harry to a small pub off to the side with a plain wooden door.
