Chương 39: Lord Quarters
"Hmmm, not bad"
Harry said as he looked the room. It was luxuries that much was obvious. The team was blue and silver. The walls were pained a sapphire color and had various depictions of Eagles. The room he was looking at was more like a common room. There were chairs and tables, bookshelves filled with books on various topics. A nice fireplace that gave the place a homey feeling.
There were three doors each leading to a separate room. Most likely a Master bedroom where the man slept, a room for the woman when she wanted to sleep alone, and a guest bedroom. It was common for pureblood couples to sleep in separate bedrooms as most of the marriages were arranged with the intent of making a heir. After the baby is born the woman goes into her own room and lives out her life as a 'Trophy Wife'
"Well lets get to work. Hope start searching for 'bugs' and Remove all Portraits in the room. I will start on modifying the entrance door." Harry spoke up as he let go of his coat and snapped his fingers.
All of his familiars got out of the pockets in their miniature size and started to explore. Dozens of miniature trunks came out and returned to their original size. They contained everything he needed to set up shop in his Room at Hogwarts.
'Hmm, now lets see' Harry started to modify the door. First he changed the rune sequence so that it would make it difficult for anyone to force their way to the room like he did. Then he transmuted some stone to the door and shaped them like snakes.
He then enchanted the snakes to attack anyone w ho doesn't know his password. Naturally he can also control them with Parselmagic, but only activated by his voice. He then reinforced the door and the wall around it.
'That should do it for the outside. Now for some wards.' Harry proceeded to place some very deadly wards on the inside of the door. So that if anybody forced their way in. Well they would immediately regret it. Along with some basic ones for protection and Anti-Ghost to protect against spying'
'And for the finishing touch. Anti Phoenix wards around the whole place. Don't want that stupid bird coming in here and just yeeting one of us...On second thought I might just leave a tiny opening. If Fawkes actually does come here. I can just capture it and imprison it. Infinite supply of Phoenix Tears, Feathers and Ash.'
Hope searched through every inch inside the rooms and lobby. Once she was satisfied that there aren't any 'bugs' of any kind, magical or not, she started to set up shop.
She took the room on the right and started pulling out things from the trunks. First was the potion station. As a potion master Harry naturally needed an advanced potion station, but he went above and beyond for his. Since he isn't as blind as other wizards. He has combined many aspects into his potion making. In the centre there was a table with a cut out circle, with tools put around the hole.
The cauldron would be put there so it would be lower to the ground, making it easier to stir and throw in ingredients. On the floor there was a rug with runes on it, by stepping on it like you would do in a car Harry can adjust the intensity of the flames. Some advanced potions need specific timing and a rather steep raise or drop in temperature at certain stages of the potion. For that you need to manipulate the flame precisely.
On the table to the left. Well it looked like it was taken form a high class kitchen. A washing area on the far left. closer to the table was a big cutting board. Various sharp knives were lined. Different sorts of knives all very high quality. Mostly Japanese knives.
Some of the knives were enchanted to be sharper and sturdier. But the Japanese ones weren't, they were for the more difficulty potions, where none of the ingredients can have outside magic in them. Hence the traditional expensive Japanese knives. There were mortar and pedestal of different materials.
The table to the right looked like it was a chemistry lab. Various flasks, tubes and beakers, scales. A microscope, Distillation Set, Vacuum Filtration Set and many other items. This table was also longer than the others, due to the many things needed.
On the side there were shelves. Harry had permanently engraved runes on it so that it has Stasis magic on them, keeping the potion and the ingredients fresher. Time Magic, the fact that the wizards are capable of manipulating time like this is absurd, and them thinking its not anything special is even more proof of their stupidity.
They have tried to figure out a way to use Stasis Magic effectively on living things. They could only find short terms uses, like saving injured victims until they get them to a Hospital. Or putting a Stasis charm over the entire potion station so you can go out for a short while or take a break. But this couldn't be used on advanced potions. So they mostly just use it to keep food fresher.
Harry played around with this because he knows how important it is. And he discovered the same things as the wizards. If you use Stasis magic directly on potions and magical ingredients or parts. It will interfere with their magic and make them worse.
But the key point of this is 'directly' on them. Harry used stasis magic on the shelf itself. So anything put on the shelf would enter the 'stasis zone' and is 'indirectly' affected by it. It was just slowing down the rate at witch things go bad. It doesn't interfere with them in any negative way. Naturally Harry will not be sharing this fact with the Wizarding World. He was sure some of them had figured it out and like him are keeping quiet about it.
Once Hope was done with the Potion station, she proceeded to do the same for the Rune Carving station and a large fancy wooden desk where Harry always does his research and calculations. Along with a very comfortable chair. She then pulled out her own desk and put it close to his.
Harry and Hope were both done they finished setting all of this up in less than 10 minutes. And started to return to the sorting.
Halfway there Harry realised something. "Hope.. why did you take out the bed in the room where you set up the potion station. That's my room."
Hope deadpanned at him "No it is not. At home you wake up and immediately go into research mode due to some ideas that pop up in your dreams. You keep forgetting to eat and sleep. We are now in enemy territory. That room is only for work. You and I will sleep in one room, And Daphne and Astoria in the other"
Harry raised an eyebrow and grinned at her "Oh my, when did you get so aggressive~ Inviting me to bed like this"
Hope deadpanned even harder "I have been inviting you for the past year.. you are the one just ignoring me"
Harry just chuckles and pats her head " I know, wait a bit until my hormones kick in, and I have no problem sleeping together on the same bed. I remember that you like to cuddle."
Hope was embarrassed and her cheeks flushed a little causing Harry to laugh even more
~ Great Hall.
After Harry and Hope left. The reporters went into high gear. Flooding the Staff and Ministry personnel with questions. Questions that none of them had answers to.
"Did you know Harry Potter was Heir Slytherin?"
"How does that change his status in Hogwarts as a Heir of a Founder?"
"Did you really place a compulsion to force the hat to put Mr. Potter in Gryffindor?"
"Do you have any idea where Rowena's Secret Library might be?"
Today was not a good day to be Albus Dumbledore.
'Why can't things just go according to plan' Albus resisted the urge to rub his own temples to soothe his headache.
'I need lemon drops. Damn that blasted brat. How is he Heir Slytherin. Tom is still alive.'
Dumbledore kept deflecting the questions, but the reporters weren't stopping
'Its fine. The situation hasn't changed. When Tom was in school he couldn't do anything. According to the Hogwarts Charter, 2 heirs need to be in agreement to make significant changes to the School. Which is almost impossible.
Rowena Ravenclaw has no heirs. Her daughter died without having a child, the Ravenclaw line never survived after Rowena.
Helga Hufflepuff had children and the current survivor from her line is Zacharias Smith. However, she set a certain condition. If any heir wants to make their official claim to the House, he or she will have to be a Herbology expert and be as kind as she was.
And I always make sure the current 'heir' makes many bad decisions and shows up with a bad character. Stroke their ego of them 'possibly' being from Hufflepuff's line and being kind is the furthest thing on their mind.
And finally Godric. That man was one of the biggest man-whore of his time. He had bedded half of the witches in his time. Including many 7th year students. More than half of Wizarding Britain has his blood flowing through his veins. Even the Dark Faction. Godric didn't mind sleeping with a few snakes. And those young witches knew exactly what they were doing currying favor with one of the founders and their Professor.
Godric in his arrogance, made an impossible task. The one who wants to gain the Gryffindor heirship must defend the school from a large threat. Be brave enough the draw the sword from the hat and defeat their opponent, saving the school in the process.
So even if Harry Potter was accepted as the official 'Heir of Slytherin' there is nothing he can do on is own.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please quiet down. We must continue with the sorting, you can ask all the questions you want later on." Dumbledore said with his hands in the air, calming the bloodthirsty sharks down.
The reporters looked amongst each other and reluctantly agreed. It wouldn't be a good look to interfere with the Hogwarts Sorting. They can harass him later.
Dumbledore gave McGonagall a pointed look and the Deputy Headmistress coughed in her hand. Once everybody's attention was on her she called out the first name
"Hannah Abbot"

What did you think about the chapter. Kinda short. And as for Dumbledore all I'm going to say is be patient.
