Chapter 8: New Beginnings
The Dursley's being the Dursley's didn't listen, which is why they found themselves silenced by a silencing charm and stuck to the ceiling whilst Harry watched TV, lying on the Dursley's favourite couch. Harry called for stink, partly because he had things for him to do but mostly to scare the Dursley's. He instructed him to place three bucket's under the Dursley's in case they needed to pee then gave him order's to clean the rest of the house. Harry was amused by the fact that 'Stink' appeared to enjoy the work and was perfectly content with his own name and simply buying a cleaner pair pillow case and some shoes. The next day Harry had had his fun, the Dursley's were still attached to the ceiling, and Harry was ready to go. Not before one last thing however.
The Dursley's stared with fright and confusion at what was below them, Harry had brought a miniature pool and placed it directly below them, unfortunately it wasn't filled with water. It appears that the elf had had been instructed to put every bit of dust and dirt he could find in the house in it, what frightened them more was when the elf took the opportunity to relieve himself in the pool. Harry with a smile looked towards the Dursley's before parting.
"Dudley" He spoke as politely as he could "it was horrible knowing you and sorry but you'll probably have to start cleaning and working a bit now. Don't worry it's not hard, I've been doing it my whole life. Aunt Petunia, I would hope that one day you'd get over whatever reason you have to hate my mother but I'm not going to bother.
Magic is one thing but miracles are another, and as for you Uncle Vernon. I hope you realise that if you were nicer to me than I would have let you keep the money, and probably help get you promoted. But all those beatings you gave actually made my magic stronger and is what led me to discover the world of wizards and witches in the first place. Now remember you have to have to pay back all the money you took from me and don't expect to come to work, I told the companies highest employees that I'm firing you and they agreed to do it, now before I leave I just need to say seven things.
Dudley you're adopted, Uncle Vernon cheated on you Aunt Petunia, Aunt Petunia cheated on you Uncle Vernon, nobody in this neighbourhood likes any of you, the sticking charm will wear off by midnight tonight and the goblins will collect the money the next day. The final thing is I'm richer and more well of than all of you could ever be. Now goodbye, Stink, take me to Gringotts, I think it's time I get a new home" Stink did as he was told and Harry appeared just outside of Gringotts, he and Harry felt on top of the world.
Albus Dumbledore however did not, it has come to his attention that the words on Private Drive had fallen.
.......
Harry knew that in Gringotts he'd find his portkey to Potter mansion in the family vault, it'd be the perfect place to stay. Only Potter's and those who they allow to stay there can find it even if they've been there before and it has more defensive wards then Hogwarts. He was very impressed by what he saw, a mansion so big you could barely see the top. The outside was good as well, grass that was as green as can be, a beautiful forest and all sorts or rare plants. The inside felt bigger than the outside and Harry couldn't help feel impressed. There were more rooms than could count and outside there was even a quidditch pitch.
Harry also found four house elves there, Harry told them to go to knock turn alley and buy as many house elves as possible. He would need help cleaning all of this, one house elf remained to show him around. He showed him all of the house before taking him to the animal pens outside. In some pens were normal animals like horses and cats, in others there were wilder animals like tigers and lions and in the last few there were magical animals like dragons and thestrals. Harry also found a bright red phoenix which seemed quite taken with him, a short bonding process later and he was now Harry's phoenix. He then directed Harry to the instruction booklet which told him how to interact with all the animals. After a while even the dragons allowed him to pet them.
Harry promised to return later and left, he found an open area and took the time to do the rituals needed to remove his magical blocks and Voldermorts soul. But before he did that he called Stink over and tell him to owl Ginny a letter he wrote which asked her how she was doing. He had carefully labelled it from 'Harold Smith' so as to not draw attention. The owl had been instructed to make sure she was alone when she received it. He also had sent a letter to Sirius Black to question him about his parents. Harry begun the rituals, they worked well enough but resulted in Harry having to spend the entire day in bed.
Harry woke next day to the most beautiful breakfast ever, the house elves had prepared nearly every tasty food imaginable and were utterly surprised when Harry insisted they eat with him. At first they refused but that stopped upon Harry's insistence of 'family eating together'.
"Stink" Harry called "has Ginny replied to my letter?" The little elf looked as if he wanted to twist his ears off "what's wrong Stink?"
"Harry's Ginny did read the letter, but then her mother found the letter. Stink was watching to make sure she didn't see the owl, later she found the letter in Miss Ginny's room. She ripped the letter and shouted at her, before smacking her sir"
