"This place is really too much for just us," James told him as they made their way back up the winding staircase. "No one had lived here since sometime in the 1700s before Alex and I moved in. The rest of the basement and the entire second floor have yet to me touched. More than a dozen rooms between them. Cleaning the library took ages, and it took a whole squad of Aurors to prune the dark and illegal texts."
"Lily would have loved the library and the potions lab, but Alex isn't much of a reader, and I don't have time these days," James told him.
"Fables is on the wireless tonight," Alex said when they reached the first floor landing, and slipped down the short hallway to the left of the stairs.
"So, Alex's room is down that way," James said, pointing at the door that Alex had passed through. "And mine is through that door." He pointed to the only door on the right hand wall of the lounge. "Just knock if you need anything."
Harry agreed that he would, then escaped back into the bedroom he'd been given. While he was gone, someone had deposited some pajamas and another change of clothing on the bed for him.
With the door closed behind him, he hissed, "Morgan?"
She emerged from beneath the sofa, with Hiss and Corra following behind her.
"This is a strange place you've brought us to, Master-Speaker," she said.
"Strange," Hiss echoed.
Corra didn't say anything, but the young snake didn't talk much.
"It is odd," he agreed with them.
The snakes wound themselves up the legs of the bed and coiled up near the pillows.
"It's soft," Morgan told him.
Harry laughed. He quickly jotted down all the new things he'd learned about over dinner.
He changed into the blue pajamas, grabbed the book he'd been reading, and joined the snakes on the bed.
The blankets were heavy and warm. He flipped though the book to more recent events, looking for someone named Black and a group called Death Eaters. The last four chapters of the book covered someone called the Dark Lord.
With the snakes snuggled next to him, he read.
The Fall of The Dark Lord and The Boy Who Lived, Halloween 1981:
The end of October of 1981 brought what was both the darkest part of the Blood War and, by a still unexplained miracle, the end. As discussed in the last chapter, with the Wizengamot suspended and the Ministry closed to all by vital personnel to the War effort, many of the citizens lived in fear, rarely leaving their homes.
Those few that did, risked both themselves and their families. As our people suffered with the loss of loved ones, our economy suffered. At the dame time, the number of supporters of the Dark Lord grew significantly.
Deaths piled up, whole familial lines were taken, and muggleborn's fled back into the world of their parents in droves. Despite using axillary organizations, outside the red-tape and bureaucracy of the government to fight directly against the Death Eater threat, the war was being lost.
The Potter family, by this point dwindled to the newly minted Lord James Potter, Duke of Stinchcombe, and his wife, Lady Lily Jane Potter fought on the front lines. Lord Potter was a rookie Auror, while his wife, Lady Potter was in the last year of her Healer-training were members of one of these organizations.
With the deaths of several people confirmed to be part of this organization, including Marlene McKinnon, former fiancée of Sirius Black, her entire family, as well as the Prewett Twins, Heir Fabian and Gideon, the Potters became reclusive. During this time, targets had gone from outspoken political adversaries of the group to members of the aforementioned organization. One thing became obvious by late summer, there was a traitor within the organization itself.
At some point, both James and Lily became direct targets of the Dark Lord himself. In late September of 1981, the Potters took their young wins sons into hiding, only telling close friends of their plans.
In an interview with Lord Potter in January of 1982, more details of the events of those last few weeks became clear. Potter confirmed his family had gone under the Fidelius Charm with Sirius Black being the Secret Keeper. Sirius was heir to the notorious House of Black, despite being estranged from the majority of his family for several years, as well as James' best friend. Reportedly, the two met on the train to Hogwarts in their first year and instantly bonded.
For those not familiar with the charm. The Fidelius Charm is an incredibly complex piece of magic, which hides a person and their residence from all forms of mundane and magical detection. It also causes anyone who previously knew the location to forget about it. Only the Secret Keeper is able to reveal the location, which must be done willingly, without force or coercion. Once under the charm, the Potters were completely defended from outside attack. For two months, the Potters were protected and lulled into a false sense of security.
Black was a rising star in the Auror Corps and a hero to the people of Britain at the time. A number of Death Eater attacks had been thwarted and hundreds saved over the time period with Black leading the charge. Unbeknown to his friends and fellow combatants, Black had turned traitor. At some point, he had reconnected with his family and began passing information to the Death Eaters.
According to Lord Potter, in the months leading up to that fateful night, Black could often be found in the company of Bartemious Crouch Junior (see The Last Act, Attack on Noblebranch Manor) and Evan Rosier, confirmed Death Eaters. Looking back, Potter stated the mysterious disappearance of Black's younger brother, Regulus, broke something in the man, changed him into someone James didn't recognize.
