Harry Popped in front of a Large tower, the feeling was uncomfortable to say the least, it felt like he was squished into a small ball and thrown down a narrow pipe. After a moment of dizziness, he saw a massive tree with treehouse placed in all along it's circular area. It was magnificent and eerie. the sun rays barely passed through the massive trees in the area. It was awe inspiring to say the least
"Majestic, isn't it Harry?"
"Yes sir, How did they make it? why a tree and not a castle?..."
"I know you have many questions, but you must find them out on your own after the school year starts, now lets get to out resident healer Madam Pomfrey, to make sure you are rid of all diseases."
Dumbledore led him through the staircase, to a large Treehouse, It was filled with beds and covered in cosy lights, which made him feel at ease. A Grandmotherly looking woman stepped out of a office, "Ah here you are Harry, Dumbledore said you might come today."
"Yes Poppy, can you perform a full body scan on him?, check for any illness, Wound, everything."
The Woman Harry guessed was Madam Pomfrey took out a Wooden stick and muttered something and started waving it around him. He didn't know what to think, is this a dream, or reality.
"He is malnourished and has many wounds. Honestly Albus, Why did you put him with the muggles? If I didn't know magic I would have given you hard talking to but we can heal those wounds. Eating more and some healing spells are enough."
Dumbledore dimmed a little, "So, I'll be taking my leave, I have to go to the ministry building."
"Okay", ''Thank you, Sir''
Hearing her simple way of treatment, "Mam, can you heal my eyesight?", he truly hated the hinderance of glasses, he would occasionally forget them and had to find his way nearly blinded.
"Alas, even the strongest wizards cannot heal their eyesight.", the hope which was lit in Harry's heart dimmed a bit.
"Tiply" Madam Pomfrey called, a small boney looking creature in dirty clothes appeared. 'At this point I'll accept anything.' harry thought.
"This is the dietary requirement that harry needs, you have to fulfil them and show him to his quarters."
"Yes, Mistess Pop"
"Harry, I need you to go with Tiply, She will show you, your temporary room. I'll be along shortly with Albus. I have placed a book in the room, I want you to read it, It will give you knowledge about the wizarding world."
"Yes Mam."
Harry followed 'Tiply' through wooden railings, to a large (Larger than Madam Pomfrey's ) Treehouse, it had many rooms. Tiply opened a room and he went in. It was around the size of Dursleys' Livingroom, it was furnished with a bed, cupboard, Table, chair and a Lavatory, all made of wood. Tiply left him.
Harry Sat down on the bed, all his stuff from the dursleys had been transported to the cupboard. Not having anything to do, He read the book placed on the table. 'A guide to magic for a muggle by Gideon Shale'. It detailed how most of the magicals lived in or near forests due to magic being effective in the forests. How the magicals used a assortment of charms, wards and jinxes to cloak them and their habitats from the muggles. How magicals infiltrated the Muggle societies as politicians and activists for nature to decrease deforestation. It briefed harry about wands, brooms, elves, and other everyday magical items.
After a while as he finished, he looked out of the window, it was afternoon. He was hungry, he had no idea on what to do, he remembered Madam Pomfrey calling Tiply. "Tiply"
"Yes, master otter."
Harry rolled his eyes, remembering some elves liked to name their masters. "I have read the book, what should I do?"
"Master otter, should go to get lunch in the great hall, and should go and then meet Master big."
"Lead on then, to the great hall."
Passing through many Treehouses large and small, he arrived near the biggest treehouse yet. Tiply swung the large doors open and he stepped into the large hall. It had a raised surface with a table, chairs were lined along its length, figuring it was the Dining table, he sat in one of the chairs and Tiply brought some food. The food looked and was Delicious, after eating he began to leave when Dumbledore entered.
"Hello sir, how was your work at the ..."
"Ministry, It was productive. How are you feeling Harry?"
"Fine sir"
"Have you read the book, Poppy told you to?"
"Yes sir, I have some questions, may I sir?"
"Yes Harry, ask away."
"Why do we use wands, the book said wizards need wands to control their magic, but why?"
"We use wands because it is easy and efficient. We can do wandless magic, but it wastes a lot of magic and is very hard to master. Wands are easy and fast to use and learn, so we use them"
"Okay sir. When will I get my wand?"
"We will go to Diagon alley in 2 weeks. There we will get all your supplies. Now Harry, go and get some rest. The Professors are going to arrive in a week."
"Sir, I thought that Professors would live here?."
"Well they can spend most of the summer here in the sprawling grounds, But alas everyone tends to family. I don't have any, and Poppy's live nearby."
Harry went to his room, played with some of his toys and then took a nap while wondering about his new life. He will as Madam Pomphrey about her family
Later the week, Staff Room, Hogwarts.
"I'm delighted to hear that all of you had a Lovely summer and read my letter about Young Harry's presence here."
"I told you they were the worst Kind of muggles Albus. But you never listened" - McGonagall.
"By Merlin, It's good that he will live here now." - Flitwick
"I have just a Gift for him." - Sprout
Snape and Qurrell remained Silent.
"In other matters, I hope you have lesson Plans ready for the term. Please Brief me about any changes from previous years."
The meeting went on for a long time, With core professors leaving and the other Professors Joining and continuing about their lessons.
Great Hall
As Harry was leaving the Great hall after Dinner, Headmaster Dumbledore appeared with 5 people.
"Hello Harry. This is Professors McGonagall, Sprout, Flitwick, Snape and Quirrell, They will teach you various subjects this year. Be sure to meet them Tomorrow"
Harry greeted them and left for his room, making a mental note to meet the professors the next day.
He went to his room and slept.
The next day.
He saw Professor McGonagall on the staircase, she led him to her office.
"Harry sit down, Would you like to talk about your parents?"
Harry nodded bursting with Joy.
"First your Mother Lily, She was kindest and the most brilliant student. She loved charms and defense, practically a master in them. She was called the "Tutor of Hogwarts" as she helped almost everyone with studies and was always willing to lend a ear. At First, I thought she should be in Ravenclaw. But after her 4th year, her Gryffindor nature started appearing, she was regularly in detentions for hexing a Bully or two. She was a sweet lady and a great friend" McGonagall said wistfully.
"Secondly Your Father James, Oh he was a lion. He along with his friends Remus, Sirius and Peter were the jesters of school. They were known as "Marauders" in their day, They pranked almost everyone in the school at a regular basis. Once they charmed headmaster's beard to change colour every minute, It took Headmaster almost a month to undo the charm...". They talked for almost 1 hour about his parents and their parents. Professor opened a drawer and gave him a picture of two familiar people. "This is a photo of your parents, I have some more but they are group photos. Consider this a gift.". His eyes were filled with tears and he smiled brightly at the professor. "Now Harry go to your room, and think about our conversation. Now the term is going to begin and I need to catch up on some work."
Harry went to his room, and laid on this bed. Clutching his parents' photo.
'I will become the greatest wizard and will make my parents proud.'
