Chapter 2

After all four of them crawled into the trunk, they stood in amazement. The place was huge. It was easily as big as Hogwarts. In fact, it was an exact replica of Hogwarts. It was at that moment that Harry had an idea. "Dobby!" he called out. He had every intention of getting some house elves.

Pop!

All the sudden Dobby was standing beside him jumping in excitement. Harry smiled warmly at his elf friend. "Dobby, how would you like to work for me? I could give you five gallons a week?"

It was at that point that Dobby had tears in his eyes. "Dobby would love to work for Harry Potter, Sir. But Dobby has two conditions."

Harry was curious as what conditions an elf could ask for and decided to ask. "And what are those conditions?"

"The first condition is that Winky work for you to. She is in a bad shape. The second is that Dobby is losing his magic because he is free. He would like to be bonded to Harry Potter."

"Are you telling me free elves lose their magic?" Hermione asked, horrified. "Harry, you should ask him if there are five more free elves that could work for the House of Potter so they will not lose their power."

Dobby looked ecstatic at the idea. "Now, Dobby, if I do this, you will be in charge. Basically you will be their boss and I will choose a personal elf for my self, as well my friends. Do you think that you can handle that? Also, I want you to find me the most powerful bonding ceremony there is so they will be powerful."

Dobby disappeared for about five minutes and appeared with five extra elves. In his hand was a parchment that he handed to Harry. Harry took the parchment and his eyes widened when he read it. He asked for a powerful bonding and that was what he got. According to this, the elves would receive wizard magic and would become ageless. The Wizarding magic was pretty high too.

It was at that moment that Harry started chanting and all the elves started glowing. This would bind them all to him. It took over an hour to finish the chanting, but Harry thought that it was well worth it. They probably now had the strength of Draco Malfoy. Even though he hated the ferret, he knew that he was a fairly powerful wizard. He just hoped that the elves were happy with what happened.

One look at their faces told him they were ecstatic.

After that he decided to learn there names. There was Dobby, Winky, Blinky, Boza, Kara and Tokra. Harry decided to take Kara as his elf since Dobby had to look over the Castle and the other elves. The other reason he chose Kara was because she was so unique. She had a very dirty mind and loved to tell raucous jokes. He liked that. He knew she would fit right in with him. Another reason he liked her was because she liked wearing dresses.

Harry took Kara off to the side to have a talk with her. "Kara, I have a very special job for you."

Kara was literally jumping at the idea of a special job.

Harry smiled indulgently at her. "I want you to find out every thing you can about specialized wands. Then I want you to make all of us one, including you elves. I want the wands to be as powerful as possible."

"My former master was a wand maker. He taught me how to make them. He said the most powerful wands were the ones with the casters blood soaked in the core. Is this how you want it done, Master?"

"I just want you to do your best." He told her with a smile.

"I'll start on it right away, Master."

Harry then turned back to his friends. "All right, it is time to get studying. I hope you are ready for some hard work.

50 Years Later

It had been a very long 50 years, and none of them had aged at all. However, their mental capacity had leaped leaps and bounds. They were all masters of Wandless Magic. Harry and Hermione were both Masters of High Wandless Magic. Not only that, they were all masters of Occlumency and Legilimency, not to mention Animagus forms. Harry was a Phoenix, Hermione was a brown cat, Ginny was a cougar and Blaise was a Hawk. They had also learned the rare art of enchantment.

Not only that, but they had all finished their education all the way to university level. The wands that Kara made were amazing. They had to be the most powerful wands in the world. She had popped into the Chamber of Secrets and collected the huge fangs and a vast amount of venom for the wands. After that, she had Harry and the rest of the people donate blood so that she could soak it into the fang and venom. The result was the most powerful wands in existence.

Finally came the time that it was time to leave. It was a sad and joyous occasion. The only people they had known for 50 years were each other. They were more like siblings than friends. However, they knew that they had to leave and go back to Hogwarts. However, it was a bittersweet moment. They knew for a fact that Hogwarts could not teach them anything that they didn't already know. The main reason they were going was because they knew that they had to enter society sooner or later.

As they were heading up the trunk case, Hermione asked, "Do you think they will know we're different?"

"Without a doubt," Harry answered. "There's too much knowledge in our eyes for them not too. So, yeah, they will notice. Hell, even the elves are at university level. And Kara is probably the best wand maker in the world."

When they finally got out of the trunk they were in for a surprise. Professor Dumbledore was sitting on his bed. "I received a letter from Ravenclaw and she said that you spent 50 years in the trunk so you would be about three days late. Since most of you can defend yourself, I think we should take a trip to Diagon alley."

Just before anyone said anything else, something amazing happened. A pure black phoenix flame traveled into Harry's room. It was the most beautiful creature Harry had ever seen. In landed directly on Harry's shoulder. That was when Harry noticed there was a parchment attached to its leg.

With shaking hands he removed it carefully. The Phoenix was patient through the ordeal. When it was finally off, he carefully unrolled it. He looked it over and he damn near fainted when he read what it said. It was a letter from Merlin himself. Merlin actually sent him a letter. He couldn't believe it.

Dear Harry Potter,

I know this must be quite a shock to you, but I assure you that it is true. I am indeed Merlin. I am writing you because you have a great destiny ahead of you. I apologize but I do not have the flowering writing of Rowena, but I do have the ability to get straight to the point. I am about to give you three gifts.

1: You, Hermione, Ginny and Blaise will have the ability of a beast speaker.

2: You, Hermione, Ginny and Blaise will be able to conjure living animals (save humans)

3: You, Hermione Ginny will be immortal, unless hit by a killing curse.

Use your gifts wisely.

PS: I suggest you live in PotterCastle.

"I think I will name you Lily," he told the Phoenix.

When Dumbledore read the letter he was shocked. The only immortal he had ever met was Nicholas Flamel and he had to use the sorcerer's stone. Unknown to most people, he never did destroy that stone. Dumbledore thought that Harry and Hermione should meet them so they could understand what immortality truly meant.

The Phoenix with green eyes on Harry's shoulder was sure to draw attention.

But first, they needed to go to Diagon Alley first.

Dumbledore pulled out an old sock and told everyone to touch it and it would take all of them to Diagon Alley. True to his word, Harry felt a pull behind his bellybutton and he landed in the middle of Diagon alley while it was at its busiest. Harry knew exactly what he wanted to get, though. He also knew that it was in Knockturn alley. So, with that, he turned pleading eyes on his Mentor.

Albus gave a sigh. "Alright Harry, what do you want?"

Harry screwed up his courage. "What I want is in Knockturn Alley. It's a special kind of snake." He finished with a pleading look. Then he had an idea. "You know, I read a spell in the trunk that would transfer abilities, such as Parseltounge, to those that you trust. All of you could be Parseltounges!" He said excitedly. "It only takes thirty seconds to say the chant. What do you say? It only works on humans though."

Everyone one of them, including Dumbledore was excited about this.

So with that, Harry said the short chant and that was it.

"Ok, we're good to go."

For some reason Knockturn Alley didn't seem as frightening as before. Maybe it was because he knew that he could handle himself. It took quite a while but they finally found a store called Exotic Pets. It was a fairly large store and had an ominous feeling to it. It probably had to do with the fact that every animal in there was dangerous. Harry just hoped that he found what he was looking for.

The store was almost dark and foreboding. They had all kinds of dangerous animals in there. Most of them were snakes but none of them really caught his eye. He looked for over an hour and none of them caught his eye. Finally he just gave up and went to the store owner. The first thing out of the store owner's mouth surprised him.

"You're Harry Potter and a Parseltounge."

Harry just nodded his head. "Yes I am. I'm looking for a snake, but none have caught my eye. I need it to be magical and extremely dangerous. Do you have one of those in stock?"

"As a matter of fact I do have a snake that fits that description. However, it is not for sale. But to repay you for fighting the dark lord, I will give it to you for free. I want no arguments on this. Those damn death eaters killed my daughter. It's the least I could do. Come to the back with me."

Harry left the others in the store talking to the snakes while he followed the store owner. When they reached the back they came to a huge cage. Inside the cage was a twelve foot long snake that was blindfolded. That was when the shop keeper spoke. "This is a Dragon Basilisk. They live for thousands of years. It is blind folded because it has the power to kill instead of petrify. It is also telepathic. On top of that, it breaths fire. With your gift, you should be able to train it. I give you this free of charge in memory of my daughter. I'll leave you to get acquainted."

Harry hardly heard the owner leave. His complete focus was on the snake. He finally decided to strike up a conversation. He hissed out, <My name is Harry Potter. The owner of this shop has given you to me in honor of his daughter. I would like us to be friends. You could help me greatly if you would do this for me.>

That was when the snake spoke. <Would you mind terribly taking off this blind fold. I promise not to use my power. However, the blindfold is annoying, >

Harry opened the cage and carefully removed the blindfold. He almost gasped. The snake had the most amazing red eyes he had ever seen. <Your eyes are beautiful, my lady.>

Harry could swear the snake preened. <Will you allow me to be your master? I promise to treat you with respect and to keep you well fed.>

<I would rather you take my daughter. I am too big for you to carry around. I have just had a baby and I wish that you would adopt her. She is in the next cage over; she is about two feet long and has all the powers as me. It will take her thousands of years for her to get my size. You could carry her wherever you want so that she may learn things. However, she will be expensive.>

<I will do as you ask. I think I will name you Michelle. I wish to take you too; you can curl around my waist. That would be the easiest way to carry you.>

<As you say, Master>

With that, Harry found the store owner. "I wish to by the baby Dragon Basilisk. The mother has asked me to do this. Plus, it would be neat to have a smaller snake."

"The baby will cost 100,000 galleons. Can you afford that?"

"Can you withdraw it from my account?"

"I'll just need a thumb print on this parchment." He pulled out a parchment and Harry gave his print. "Congratulations, you now own two snakes."

After that, Harry walked back into the back room to the small two foot long snake. It was blind folded like her mother. He could tell it was a she for some reason. <If I take off the blind fold, will you use your powers on me?>

<You're a Parseltounge; my powers wouldn't work on you anyway. Not even my fire would work on you. My telepathy will, though. Go ahead and take it off, it's annoying.>

Harry wondered why the mother hadn't told him that. She probably wanted to see if he would trust her. Harry opened the cage and took off the blindfold. <Thank you, you have no idea how annoying that was.>

<Would you like to wrap around my forearm so that you will be warm?>

<I would like that very much.>

With that, the snake wrapped around his arm. <I think I will call you Sarie.> He could have sworn the snake preened at the name.

Dumbledore looked at him funny. "Harry, is that the type of snake I think it is?"

"If you think it is a Dragon Basilisk, then yes it is. Her daughter is on my forearm. Don't worry though. I told them not to use their powers without my permission." He watched as the others relax at this admission. They should have known he would not have put them in danger.

It was at that moment that something caught Harry's eye that he didn't see before. It was a wolf. But it was a wolf whose head came up to his waist. It was massive. A person could see the muscles ripple on it. Harry thought that now would be a good time to test out his beast speaking ability. He walked carefully to the caged wolf so as not to startle it. He really wanted this wolf.

<Hello, my name is Harry Potter. Do you have a name?>
