Chapter 8- First Tour

Harry awoke to someone in his room sorting through his cloths, again. He could take a good guess who it was.

"Let me guess, you are deciding what I will be wearing today" grumbled Harry from where he laid in the bed.

"You are correct" stated Alessia who didn't even both to turn around.

"Why am I not surprised?" Asked Harry rhetorically.

"The Dark Lord wants you, me and my mum in the meeting room in ten minutes so you might want to get a move on" suggested Alessia who was still going through his wardrobe before finding something similar to what he wore when they went shopping. A long sleeve shirt made of Basilisk skin and jet black trousers. He then looked at a calendar on the far side of the room and saw that date. July 30th.

Tomorrow was his birthday. He had completely forgotten about it. He knew he wouldn't be getting any present from anyone he had known this year. He didn't want any either. He inwardly wondered if he was going to get any presents at all this year. He had little hope really.

He then combed his hair and then made his way to the meeting room where Alessia was waiting and wearing similar clothing to himself. She had her hair in a ponytail today opposed to her usual style of having it down. Bellatrix and Voldemort was also there.

He nodded to all of them and greeted with his customary "Morning."

"I suppose you know where we are headed?" Enquired Voldemort.

"Yes, Potter Manor" nodded Harry.

"Good, it seems you do listen to conversations" smirked Voldemort who then led them all out of the meeting room.

As they went through the hallway, Harry felt the presence of one of his familiars behind him.

"Why up so early?" hissed Ariana from behind him. Harry turned around and knelt and offered his arm so she could climb up it.

"We need to head off to my family home" explained Harry as he hissed back at his familiar. Ariana didn't answer and just slithered over his shoulders and found a comfortable place to fall asleep, Harry swore all she ever did was sleep, sleep and more sleep.

They were out of the Manor and Voldemort indicated for them all to touch his arm and they found themselves in Godricks Hollow.

"I am sure you are wondering why I brought you here?" Questioned Voldemort. Harry nodded.

"The actual location of Potter Manor is unknown but it is known to be somewhere near Godricks Hollow, only a Potter can locate the Manor" explained Voldemort. Harry nodded again and felt a pull and started to follow it.

They wondered through many streets and came across an empty piece of land what led to a wide field. Harry went in that general direction and the others followed.

The pull stopped at the beginning of the large field. He then noticed a stone in the ground and knelt down so he could see it more clearly. He put a finger on it and then a visible barrier appeared and a manor started to come into view.

Gates formed right in front of them and had the Potter crest prominent on the front of them. The Manor itself looked slightly smaller than Hogwarts but larger than Malfoy Manor. From the angle they were looking at it, they could see a professional sized Quidditch Pitch behind the Manor and fields what stretched for miles. The Manor looks to be made of marble and that gave it a more modern look despite it being centuries old.

"You have an impressive house, Potter" remarked Alessia with a raised eyebrow as she examined the Manor.

"Adequately sized" stated Voldemort as he surveyed his surroundings.

"Well, what are we waiting for" huffed Bellatrix with a slight frown.

Harry pressed his hands to the gates and with a goran the gates opened and a pathway towards the Manor came into view.

"Thank Merlin we don't have to wonder through muddy fields" harry heard Alessia mutter under her breath hoping n one would hear her. Harry chuckled and Alessia just smirked back at him.

Voldemort led them up the path towards the Manor with an air of superiority around him as they neared the Manor.

It didn't take them long to reach the front doors which were slightly smaller than the ones had Hogwarts.

Harry came forward and pressed his hand to the door and the doors opened to reveal a grand hallway and a staircase central. However it looked like no one had been there in years because of the lack light running through the rooms but a few pops were heard and three house elves stood in front of them.

"Master Harry has returned" gasped one of the elves with eyes that threatened to fall out of his head they were so wide.

"My name being Duffy, Sir" squeaked the elf on the right.

"My name being Bambi, Sir" added the one in the middle.

"My name being Dandy, Sir" finished the one with the big eyes.

"I trust that you three have been keeping the house orderly?" Addressed Harry as he surveyed the three elves.

"Of course, Sir" Answered Bambi with a nod of her head.

"What about the lack of light in here?" Wondered Harry.

"The Manor runs on magic, Sir. If there are wizards and witches living in the Manor then the Manor becomes brighter and less dark" explained Duffy as he nodded his head and making his ears flap.

"Alright" nodded Harry as he then looked around at the Manor.

"I think a tour is in order" decided Voldemort and looked expectantly at the three elves.

"Bambi, you may show us around" ordered Harry with a kind smile towards Bambi who looked overcome with excitement.

"Of course, Sir. Right this way, Sir" said Bambi as she led them past the staircase and into the nearest room to there left.

"This rooms is the Sitting room and there is a shelf of books over to the right" said Bambi as they entered a room with two couches and two armchairs and just as she said, a shelf of books on the far wall.

She then led them out of that room and continued into the next room and they came into a room with a pool table and a bar and other games.

"This is the games room or as Master James liked to call it, the man room" squeaked Bambi. Harry chuckled slightly and Voldemort raised an eyebrow at the room. Alessia also let a smile slip onto her face as she surveyed the room. Bella had no reaction.

They were then led on through to the kitchen and the on the other side of the staircase there was a meeting room and a Ladies room what consisted of Magazines and such and then there was another sitting room.

They then travelled up the stairs and into a massive bedroom. It had a kings sized bed and a big open window and then a desk on the far side and two bedside tables and a wardrobe what took up a whole wall.

"All this floor is taken up by guest rooms. The family rooms are on the second floor" explained Bambi who then led them up another floor where they came across the master bedroom and there was another king sized bed and a bigger window but in the shape of an arch. The wardrobe was even bigger and there was two desk and two bedside tables.

They were then led through to another bedroom which was similar but slightly smaller. All this time, Ariana never moved from her spot on Harry where she was sleeping.

They all then settled in the meeting room to discuss what would happen next.

"Right, after the examination of Potter Manor I have concluded that it is suitable for use" started Voldemort as he looked towards Harry and gave him a nod of the head.

"So we are sing the Manor as our headquarters for the younger generation" confirmed Harry.

"Indeed, Malfoy Manor shall be used for the senior generation. Now, as we have already concluded, Harry, you shall be leader and then report back to me with any findings you may have after the students who go to Hogwarts have reported back to you" explained Voldemort.

"How will they report back to me? We can't exactly sneak them out of Hogwarts very easily" pondered Harry.

"I have already thought of that. They will not be able to apparated or take a portkey without the headmaster knowing so I have instructed a Death Eater to go undercover at the school" started Voldemort.

"He will have some kind of place in the members of staff there and will let them through there flu system" finished Voldemort.

"Wont the headmaster know that someone is using the flu?" Asked Alessia.

"No, because we shall be distracting him" added Voldemort.

"How are we going to do that?" Asked Harry.

"Leave that to me" whispered Voldemort in a menacing way.

"They shall also be given two way mirrors which means they will be able to contact you if something is urgent and needs our attention then and there" explained Voldemort with an air of finality.

"So Harry and Alessia will be staying here then?" Questioned Bellatrix.

"Indeed, Bella. Starting from tomorrow where they shall be hosting their first meeting with the young ones going to Hogwarts" nodded Voldemort.

"But they are teenagers, you know what they are like" muttered Bella so only Voldemort heard.

"Leave them be, knowing Harry he won't do anything he will regret when it comes to matters of that sort with the opposite sex" muttered Voldemort back so the other two still couldn't hear them.

"We are still here by the way" interrupted Alessia a frown.

"Oh, we didn't forget" chuckled Voldemort as he looked over towards her and Harry. He then got up to his feet and into the main hallway.

"Alright, I think that it's time for all of us to return to Malfoy Manor" stated Voldemort as he led them out of the Manor with Harry sealing the doors as they all left.

Harry wondered into the dining room in Malfoy Manor the next morning in a grumpy mood. No one likes to be woken up at seven in the morning by a way to chipper house elf for that time in the morning.

He slouched in his seat as Tippy brought him his breakfast. It only consisted of some toast and egg. He never ate to much in the mornings.

"Someone in a bad mood" sang Alessia as he all but skipped into the dining room with a smirk on her face.

"You're a morning person then" grunted Harry as he drank some of his water from his goblet Tippy had just put there.

"Always have been, always will be" she exclaimed as she took a seat across from him/

"Never understood that expression, how anyone can know if they will be like something in the future" mumbled Harry.

"Don't you mean, how do they know what they will be like?" Enquired Alessia with a cheeky smirk on her face.

"Funny" stated Harry with a slight frown toward her direction. She just smiled back and tucked into her own breakfast.

"You two have only ten more minutes to finish your breakfast" exclaimed Bella who had just entered the dining room, looking significantly less chipper than her daughter.

"But I only just got here and started eating" complained Alessia.

"Well then daughter is suggest that you hurry up" giggled Bella who then wondered through to the meeting room where the Dark Lord was most likely waiting.

"I hate being here sometimes" grumbled Alessia who then started to eat faster.

"I take it you got woken up by Tippy as well" guesses Harry as he looked over at her.

"Nope, I awoke on my own accord actually" smiled Alessia.

"Good for you" muttered Harry who then got up and deposited his plate in the sink and made his way through to the meeting room.

"Good to see you up and about, Harry" greeted Voldemort who sat on his throne with Nagini resting along his shoulders. That then triggered the thought of where was Ariana she was nearly always with Nagini if she wasn't with him. He then remembered that he had seen her curled up around his bed post when he awoke this morning, she most likely didn't hear him when he got ready. He then looked down and saw Shakira and Midnight by his feet, they were usually still asleep like Ariana at this point. He shrugged his shoulders as they followed him and sat by the chair he took a seat in.

"How long shall Alessia be?"

"Not long" replied Alessia from the door and she then headed to sit beside Harry and stroke Shakira's head absentmindedly.

"So the plan is for the both of you to be living inside of Potter Manor and for the students who are going to Hogwarts to report to you once every week inside the school term. When there are school holidays, all the death eaters children who go to Hogwarts shall be staying inside Potter Manor as well/ But there will just be you two for when they are at Hogwarts. The other Death Eaters children shall be moving in at the end of the week, you two will be moving in today and as it's a Wednesday, you shall have plenty of time to settle in" explained Voldemort as he surveyed the two of them.

"Sounds good to me" agreed Harry with a nod of the head.

"One other thing, as you will effectively be a younger Dark lord, you shall need to create your own mark. Like my own Dark Mark, I want it etched into their skins so you can call them if there is an emergency but I don't want you to put it on their arms or in any place that skin is regularly shown" added Voldemort as he stared at Harry.

"Would you have any suggestions on where to put it?" Asked Harry.

"On the ankle would be my suggestion, it can easily be concealed with socks" suggested Voldemort. Harry nodded along to this suggestion.

"I shall pass on mission tht I want doing and you shall relay it to them" finished Voldemort who then stood and started walking out of the room but turned around at the door.

"I shall be next seeing you on Saturday when the others arrive at Potter Manor, good luck" were the final words he said before exiting the room.

"Alright you two, go get packing, I want to see you at the gates in half an hour. And Harry, you are to flu to the Manor for your lessons along with Alessia eveyr other day, so I want you both here tomorrow, nine a.m. Sharp!" Shouted Bella as they walked out of the room.

Harry then walked into his room and started packing away his belongings into his trunk and folded his cloths and added thim into it.

"What is going on Master?" Hissed Ariana who seemed to have just woken up from her spot on the bedpost

"We are moving to another Manor" hissed back Harry.

"Why do we need to move?" Asked Ariana as she slid onto the bedsheets and uncurled herself.

"We are forming a dark arts group of our own but we still report to the dark lord" abbreviated Harry the best he could and hoped it was enough. Luckily it was and Ariana then went right back to sleep on the sheets.

He then started packing Midnight's and Shakira's food and other essentials along with Ariana's. Once it was all done, he grabbed his trunk, shrunk it so it would fit into his pocket and then called for Tippy to take him to the entrance hall.

Tippy took him there where Alessia and Bella were waiting for him. He had also grabbed hold of Shakira and Midnight and Ariana had slithered onto his shoulders.

"Lost your way did ya?" Smirked Alessia.

"Why walk when an elf can just take me" shrugged Harry who smirked back. She shook her head in bewilderment and then focused back on Bella.

"Alright, I will be apparating you to Godricks Hollow and you can find your own way from there" instructed Bella who apparated them to the same place Voldemort had apparated them to the day before and then swiftly left.

"Do you feel the pull?" Asked Alessia.

"Yep" responded Harry and then led them to the same field as the Manor was in last time and bent down to press his hand to the tone again. The Manor then came into view and looked as majestic as ever.

The two of them wondered up the path and into the Manor where Duffy appeared before them.

"What may I do for you, Sir?" Asked Duffy.

"Nothing for the moment, please go back to what you were doing" instructed Harry and Duffy did just that.

"Can I just make one thing clear, I'm having the master bedroom" chucked Harry as wondered into the sitting room. Alessia just smirked and followed him inside.
