As I woke up, I could recall many new memories not my own. But the most concerning thing is the Mana Lock. The first should have dissolved by now and the second is placed by some unknown person which my most likely guess is Dumbledore as only he had time to put a lock. As I started thinking about all this, I thought about why I am in Harry's body and suddenly I saw a memory not mine in which Harry did some accidental magic in front of Dursley's for which Vernon whipped him with belt very badly and threw him in the cupboard and locked it.
So, this small place should be Harry's cupboard under the stairs. Next thing on my mind is that I have to leave this place if I want to change anything and don't want to be a slave of Dursleys at least for now because I will have to deal with Mrs. Figg so I will need to fool Dumbledore at least till end of 3rd year. I can use my metamorph skills to fool Dumbledore in school. So, thinking all this I started gathering everything I know about accidental magic. They occur during intense emotions and do the first thing in the child's mind. So, I use my new occlumens skill brought Harry's memory of last night's whipping to the front while thinking about unlocking the door and said in a whisper
'Alohomora'
It took a few tries but finally it opened the door and also dropped my mana bar by almost 100 points. The spell was not costly, but all the failed attempts also took some points, but it also awarded me with the skills Wandless Magic Lvl - 1 and Accidental Magic Lvl - 30. Accidental magic was likely so high because it was not shown in skill tab before, but it is Harry's skill that he used. I silently came out of the door and went to the main door. Instead of using the key I decided to use magic again because the lock sometime create a little noise. Again, I used the previous method and after a couple of tries it unlocked. I went out of the door and went to the park. There I tried calling the House Elves because if I am heir to House Potter than it is very unlikely that they may not have House Elves.
"Potter House Elves report to me." I said aloud and waited a little. With every passing second my anticipation grew but finally after a few seconds I was greeted by a series of 'pops'. And 5 House Elves of around 4 ft with pinkish grey skin, batty years, large eyes and a little pointed nose appeared in front of me.
"Master Harry, we finally found you master. We finally found young master." One of them said who was dressed in a butler uniform after looking at me. And the other House Elves started to celebrate
"Please, keep your volume down." I said and immediately they all quietened down.
"We are sorry master Harry." The one in butler uniform apologized.
"It's okay but we are in a muggle district so you can't be seen. Now please tell me your names." I asked them.
"Of course, Master Harry. I am Tobby the head elf of House Potter. I manage all the elves and they all report to me. Then these are Tipsy, Mipsy, Ralph and Calph. They all work in the Potter manor." Tobby introduced everyone.
"Ok, now listen all of you, I need to get out of here but first can you check if there is any tracking spell or something on me or anything I have on me right now or a spell to redirect mails I receive." I asked them.
"Of course, master" saying that they all get to work and started checking me.
"Yes, master there are at least one tracking spell on at least on every piece of cloth and several on you along with a mail redirection spell." They told me.
"Can you place them on different things in that house and leave the mail re-direction spell as it is." I asked them while pointing towards Dursley's house.
"Yes, we can master." And soon they removed all the spells placed on me.
"Ok now is Potter Manor habitable and if not is there any other property where I can live." I asked them.
"Yes, master we have kept the Potter Manor clean for young master. Other than that, there are several properties where you can live."
"Ok, so take me to Potter Manor." I told them.
Tobby held my hand and with a 'pop' we all vanished from there and appeared in front of the door of a huge castle like manor with gate made out of some unknown metal with the insignia of two griffins on left and right holding swords in their hands making an X. The inside has a well cobbled path with greenery surrounding the whole estate and different magical bugs and creatures surrounding roaming all around.
"Master, you need to put your hand on the insignia. It will draw a few drops of your blood to check whether you truly are a Potter." I have no reason to doubt them and did as they asked. As I placed my hand on the insignia, I felt like a pin pricked my hand and soon I can feel something in the back of my mind and suddenly I knew everything happening around the manor.
"Master, the wards have been transferred to you as the last remaining Potter. Finally, there is a Potter to lead this House." Tobby said with tears in his eyes.
Tobby led me towards the manor, in the way I encountered many little magical beasts and a sentient race. I used Observe on them for the first time. I almost forgot about this skill.
Name: Mal
Race: Brownie
Level - 10
Title - Leader of Tribe, Gardener of Potters
{Given this land to live on by your Great-Great-Great Grandfather when their burrows were taken over by a wild dragon. They have stayed here and doubled the production of very important potion ingredients.}
"Tobby, was it the wards I just felt. Is this the little Lord." She asked Tobby after seeing me.
"Yes, I am Harry Potter" I introduced myself.
"You really are Lord Potter. It is so good to see you. The last time I saw you, you were a little baby all bundled up in a blanket in Lady Lily's arms. I am Mal, the Leader of this little tribe of Brownies." She introduced herself.
"So, you and your tribe live in these lands." I asked.
"Yes, my lord, all thanks to House Potter who were very generous to us."
"Ok, I will come to talk with you some other time for now I have some important work." I took my leave and followed Tobby towards the manor, which is actually a castle, all with a moat and a strong wall. As I entered inside, I was amazed by the regal by simple designs, the beauty of palace and huge it was.
"Tobby are their portraits of my parents, grandparents and ancestors here." I asked.
"Yes master, the portraits of all the Lords and Lady Potters are here but unfortunately Master James and Mistress never have their portraits commissioned so there are no portraits of them." Hearing this I acted being sad.
"It's okay Tobby it's no one's fault, take me to the place where all the portraits are kept." I said and we went towards the room. As we reached there, there were hundreds of moving portraits of different people in the room all of whom were sleeping.
"Tobby wake up grandparents, someone who is well versed in politics and someone who is great tactician." I said to him.
"Master, should I wake up your granduncle and grandaunt as well. As for a great politician, Hardwin Potter will do, and your grandfather Charlus Potter was a great tactician and fighter who led Britain against Grindelwald and would have killed him if he had reached him before Dumbledore." Tobby told me.
"Ok, wake them up and yes my granduncle and aunt as well." I said to him, and he woke up their portraits.
"Huh! What, what happened Tobby, why did you wake me in the middle of the night." One of portraits asked.
"Master Charlus we finally found young master Harry." Tobby told him and hearing him all the portraits he woke up immediately became focused.
"Where is he Tobby." Charlus Potter asked.
"I am here... grandfather." I said, finally announcing my presence. "But please keep your voice down, I don't want to wake up others, not right now at least. Tobby, please bring portrait of Hardwin Potter here as well."
"Now listen carefully, after that night Dumbledore send me to Aunt Petunia, mother's sister. There I was raised without knowing of magical world inside a small cupboard under the stairs, forced to do chores, beaten for trivial things and left to starve and locked inside the cupboard. But today I controlled my accidental magic to unlock door and went outside the perimeter of wards and called the elves who brought me here. Now, don't ask me how I knew if it was Dumbledore and all that because that's going to be a secret I will take to my grave. Now I want your help in making a good enough strategy to counter Dumbledore, whether he is just misguided or have some ulterior motives, and fight Voldemort because I know for sure that he is not dead." I told them. "Also, I will have to return there because there is a spy of Dumbledore who will know if I am missing for more than a few days, so at max we have 3 days. I don't want to alert him just yet, but don't worry this time I am not going to become their slave."
"That piece of shit, James and Lily clearly mentioned in their will that you are not to go to them in any case. He completely disregarded the Will of a Lord. I will cut him to pieces." Charlus said angrily but kept his voice down.
"Not only that I think my godfather is in Azkaban and fully innocent who never got a trial when even Lestrange got one even after being caught red handed. Someone placed lock on my magic over the lock placed by my parents and I am damn sure it's Dumbledore. But we can vent our anger later but right now we need to plan. I have already prepared a rough plan. According to me till Sirius is out of Azkaban I should act just like he expects me to but later bring out all his deeds in front of everyone, remove him from his positions, at least the political ones and then he will be much easier to tackle. I think it will take me till 3rd year of Hogwarts to bring Sirius out of Azkaban. Till than I will stay there while coming for regular lessons for what I should know as the heir and all as despite my knowledge I don't know everything about our world."
"Hmm, it is a great plan my boy, but I can see that you are quite malnourished, and I refuse to leave you as it is. So, how will we tackle it." Hardwin Potter who haven't said a word till now said.
"I am a metamorphmagus, so I can just change my appearance to what I want. It will take some practice, but I think I can keep it all day without easily." I told them.
"Hmm, ok so you will take the wand of one of us practice some spell and use them to control your so-called relatives and come here regularly to meet us for your lessons but in that house one of the House elves will always be with you like your shadow. We have to cram years' worth of knowledge in one year, but we can do that." Hardwin said
"But ancestor how can you send him back there." Charlus said.
"Don't be emotional Charlus and think like the warmage you are. We have to keep our enemy in the dark and use the element of surprise." This time it was Fleamont Potter who spoke.
"The are right dear, I also don't want to send Harry back there, but this is a sound plan, and we will make sure that Harry is ready." My grandmother spoke up.
"Thank you for trusting me. But what will be our plan from after it." I asked.
"We will plan it as we move forward, for now we will only keep the rough draft you have and improvise it according to the situation because no plan survives the confrontation." Charlus said. "Rest now lad, tomorrow a healer will come to check you up and after it we are gonna train you in some basic defensive spells that will be helpful for you in tackling those muggles. Tobby contacts a healer from the fort and ask them to come here and check Harry. Make sure they swear a vow of secrecy to not divulge anything about anything. Also contact the instructor there as well, he will be training Harry here. But first, show Harry his room."
"Goodnight grandfather, grandmother, granduncle, grandaunt and ancestor." I said to them.
"Goodnight Harry" They all said. As Harry left all the portraits looked towards each other
"What do you think Charlus about your grandson." Hardwin asked
"There are still many things that confuses me but one thing I am sure about is that he will lead House Potter to greatness." Charlus said.
"But Ancestor if he was raised in muggle world how did he know all this." Fleamont asked.
"Leave it Fleamont. He already said that he is going to take the secret to his grave and everyone has their secrets. He maybe a seer or it may be something else, but he clearly doesn't to misuse this. That is the important thing. And yes, Charlus you are right about that he will lead House Potter to greatness." Hardwin said as he went to sleep.
