Harry felt felt it as his insides squeezed inwards and darkness overtook him briefly, after that strange creature that Madam Longbottom had called Tilly had grabbed him and Neville. When the light returned he was standing in a small room, with a large fireplace and marble floor and walls. The only decoration in the otherwise all white room. Was a potted plant in the corner and two chairs. A small dish held some strange looking powder on the mantle. Directly across from the fireplace was the Longbottom crest, that he recognized from the ring Neville wore. It was carved onto the wall and painted a deep teal colour. There was no visible door out of the room.

"Where are we, and what are You?"

Harry asked the strange creature, who looked a lot like Yoda from the movie star wars that he watched from his cupboard. Because of course he wasn't allowed to watch tv. The biggest and mostly only difference between the two, was the colour. Where Yoda was green, this creature was light beige, almost light pink in colour and had bigger eye and ears. The creature also had a rounder face.

'Ize be Tilly, Heir Potter. I be a house elf. You be at Longbottom manor, in the arrival room. You not be able to see or find the door, till heir Longbottom reenters you to the ward list of those granted access. You haven't been here since you be 10 months old. The list of admittance automatically removes people who have not visited in over five years. See, watch and learn. You will have to do this at the Potter properties. Only the head of family and the heir can add or take away access at any other time."

Harry turned and watched his new friend Neville. As he watched Neville place his signet ring in the center of crest and a scroll and a black quill appeared. Neville grabbed both and opened up the scroll and wrote a name down, using the wall as a hard surface. As Neville wrote he winced, but quickly recovered and rolled up the scroll, placing both back against the crest with the signet ring back into the center of the crest. Once the scroll and quill vanished back into the crest, the crest transformed into French double doors the bore the crest in engraved relief in gold on the white clouded glass.

"Come on, Harry this way." Neville said as he gestured for Harry to follow him through the doors.

Harry quietly followed Neville to what appeared to be a sun room. With comfortable whicker furniture with comfy padding in the centre of the room. The walls were painted a pale cheery yellow, on one side. While three side of the room had floor to ceiling windows as well as a glass ceiling. All three widows looked out on to vast gardens as well as four greenhouse. Around room sitting everywhere was a whole bunch of different potted plants.

"Have a seat Harry, welcome to my home." Neville said

Harry sat down, in a comfy looking armchair facing Neville on the coach.

Harry was stupefied into shock.

In the next moment there was a load crack and the house elf Tilly appeared.

"Master Neville's and Master Harold's new belongings be in their rooms. Can Tilly be getting be getting young masters anything else?"

"You live here. It's massive. Way bigger then the Dursley's. Not to mention my cupboard, I have my own room here." Harry said in a rush.

"You've had your own room here since you were before you were born. Mistress Alice had one made for you the same time she did master Neville's. Mistress Lilly named her your godmother before you were even born. Mistress Alice wanted you to know that you would always be welcome and have a place here. We elves always kept your room up even when Mistress Alice and Master Frank was hurt and Mistress Lilly and Master James were killed. Mistress Augusta never stopped looking for young master Harold. You were supposed to here, with your personnel elf Dobby. But Dobby disappeared the same night you did. We elves have tried calling him but he does not answer. We can sense he is alive, we just Don't know where he is. Obviously he is not with you."

Not fully believing what he was hearing, and all that had happened today. A few days ago he was still locked in his cupboard. Then the frantic escape from all the letters. The hut on the rock , meeting Hagrid. Finding out that he was a wizard. Learning that he was the sole heir to an old noble family. That he was rich, and was kidnapped right after his parents were killed. From going to being called a freak and treated like a slave. To being unwanted and unloved. A supposed burden to relatives who hated him, who should have loved him. They hated him for what he and his parents are, and they are not. For being magical. For being nobles, being rich. Though he doubted they new about his wealth or title. Harry had no doubt that they would of taken it from him if they knew. Maybe even kill him and try to claim it all as next of kin. Yes he thought they no doubt would of tried that, not like had not tried to kill him in past anyway. What with all the beatings he got, after what he now knew to be accidental magic. Though had they known they may also tried to use his noble status to try and increase there own and paraded him about, while stealing and using most of his money for there own selfish purposes. There is no knowing how they would have done things. All he knows for sure it would of not been good for him. And now to find out that he was never supposed to go to them. That his parents actually really loved him, that they had put people in place to love him, and care for him if they could not. It was a lot for one boy to take in.

"Harry… Earth to e in Harry" said Neville, while waving his hand in from of Harry's face.

"Wha…what's going on?"

"Been trying to get your attention for the past five minutes, mate"

"That long really… sorry I was just thinking everything that happened in the last, little while. It's a lot to take in. What was is it you wanted?"

"That's alright, I get it. I was trying to tell that Tilly brought us some afternoon tea, and biscuits. As well a some books you might find interesting. These here are the primers I used when learning about our government, and ancient families of our world. Plus she also brought you, your new quidditch books. As she did not know what you wanted to read. Tilly brought me, my latest herbology books and magazines that I have been reading. What did I tell you I really….really love herbology." Neville added the last bit based on the look on Harry's face at the mention of herbology.

The two boys sat and read their books, as well as enjoying there afternoon respite . That is until Dowager-lady Longbottom stormed into the room, followed by a middle aged woman, with greying auburn hair with a monocle in one of her eyes.

"Neville, I will need you to open the Lord's safe in, the Lord's study. Harold you come along as well. Afterwards we will go direct to the family dinning room. By then our evening meal shall be ready."

A.N. Sorry this chapter is so short, but I felt this was a good place to end this chapter. Quite a few of the reviewers have remarked on the spelling and grammar errors. I would like to point out that I am severely out of practice writing as I have been out of school for many years. so also am writing this mostly on the sites app on my phone or tablet as I do not have a computer of my own at present. so it is impossible to go rewrite chapters I wrote ages ago. I hope this chapter was better. If anyone is willing to beta my stories, without changing or adding there own ideas for the story without asking I would be more then happy to take them on. Also note I am Canadian so use Canadian spelling for words like colour or favourite. Please review an tell what you think and if you have any ideas of where you would like to see this story go. Once they hit Hogwarts I will try to speed things up. Unless a lot of you like the slow pace of both my stories.
