She eyed him suspiciously and took the papers he slid to her. She read over them, a spell around them seemed to activate and she got a fuzzy smile.
"Of course, I'll get your instructor here. I'll keep these papers and file them. When you're finished with the instructor he will also give you your test. He'll send you in here once he's finished."
Harry nodded and soon found himself getting into a car with a podgy man with a grey moustache who was eagerly pointing everything out to him.
.-.
Harry fingered the green 'N' once again as he walked up the path to his house. It was quite nice to have it in his hands. And all it had taken was some goblin research, blackmail, and spells to let him have it at just under fourteen.
He chuckled and stepped in the front room to raise a brow at the four wizards standing around a hole in his floor. He cleared his throat and they spun around in surprise. Then they all looked away sheepishly. Harry walked up to the hole and looked in top find they had dug a very deep hole, somehow missing all the important things, and at the very bottom of the hole they had a large smooth granite cube.
"What, is that?" he asked calmly, eye twitching.
He did not like finding a hole in his new house floor.
"Well…." The tallest man said looking away as he scratched the back of his neck. "We decided the wards would be better if we could anchor them with a keystone. And the goblins even had some on them! Four more are at the very corners of your property."
Harry twitched and the man hurried on.
"They're all to help make the wards stronger. We found that when they were positioned your blood wards also strengthened and anchored much quicker. They even helped us throw up our wards faster. Instead of two weeks we only need about two days. The keystones we got straight from the goblins to, so no chance of mishap or fraud. You can ask them if you want!"
Harry narrowed his eyes at them.
"And what are you going to do about the hole in my floor." Harry hissed.
"We'll fix it right now!" He yelped pulling his wand out.
All four quickly pushed all the dirt back in overtop of the stone and spelled the wood and cement for the foundations together, then seamlessly put his floor back together. Harry gave a curt nod.
"Good."
Then he gave a pointed look to the tallest of the four. The man grinned.
"We'll be at it a few more hours then we'll return tomorrow for a few hours. Then it should be good. The keystones are a great help and surprisingly the blood wards are helping all the other wards anchor. Oh! And Kate has the parchment attached to your perimeter wards."
Harry accepted the flattened parchment from the woman and looked it over. It listed four names on it.
John Jackson
Henry Jacob
Kate Smith
William Weasely.
Harry looked up at the man sharply taking in his red hair and freckles. Yes. He was a Weasely. Harry frowned. He hadn't heard much about this Weasely, only that he was a curse breaker. The man saw him frowning.
"Sorry for not introducing myself earlier. Don't worry! I won't tell on you or anything. We all swore oaths not to give out any information on our clients when we joined and swear it ever new case. So I couldn't tell if I wanted to." He said smiling.
"I thought you were a cursebreaker." Harry said simply.
"I am. Cursebreaker is just the step beyond Warder. I was in Britain for a few days and was pulled onto this case. It pays well so I don't mind."
Harry gave a short nod and dropped his stuff on the kitchen counter and stepped back outside to do the next chore, trying to will away the anxiety at almost being caught.
.-.
Harry hurried off the Knight bus hissing his displeasure at the fast and bumpy ride. As he got off he glanced around and found Mrs. Figg just stepping out of her house. He waved cheerfully to her and almost saw her sigh in relief. He sent her an odd frown and hurried up to the door of Privet Drive # 4. He could still see Mrs. Figg watching so he stepped in without knocking. He found the place, luckily, empty of Vernon and Dudley. Petunia though had been watching a talk show. She looked at him sharply and he face was taken over by an ugly frown.
"What are you doing here?" She hissed jumping up.
"I came to talk quickly." He said back calmly.
"Talk." She said curtly.
"I'm not coming back after this." He cleared up. "But I need your help for something."
How he hated asking. But Griphook had no experience with this.
"What?" she asked sourly.
"I need your help buying a car." He said blandly, trying to keep all his emotions reigned in tightly.
He'd found a book at the beginning of summer down in Vertical Alley's bookstore on something called Occlumency. He had started the meditating step and it had helped greatly in controlling his temper. Especially since he practiced this meditating every morning and night.
chairs, couches, and every other piece of furniture or the like that he needed.
"It can be delivered by seven tomorrow morning. Did you want to pay extra for set up help?" She asked.
"No thank. I have some friends coming over to help." He lied with a smile.
"Okay."
She gave him his total and swiped his card through the machine leaving him to punch in his pin code. He thanked her as he took both his receipt and his card back. He left the store empty handed as the stuff would be delivered. Then he hopped into his car and took off towards the antique store near Diagon.
Once in the old antique store he found he saw a few more items then the ones he'd chose last time. He met with the owner again and paid him fully for all the items as he also added the newer found ones to his list. The man even arranged for the stuff to be delivered as Harry finished paying.
"I'll have to come by and visit again." Harry smiled. "You get some pretty interesting stuff here."
"That we do." The man said simply as Harry walked from the store.
