Godric looked at the scene with wide eyes " I did not see this one coming"
Helena merely smiled 'As expected. He is a crafty one'
' Oh yeah I almost forgot' Harry quickly summoned back Rowena. Who had an amused expression on her face
" Ha! You got scammed too. Its what you deserve for making fun of me"
This time Helena surprisingly facepalmed ' This is completely destroying the image I had of my mother. Where is the cold heartless bitch I remember?'
"Wait. Wait. Wait. You already had my cup with you?" Helga said with a flabbergasted expression.
Salazar just kept quiet and was in deep thought.
" I see. Well done" he said with a smile "As expected from my heir." Salazar couldn't be any prouder. Scammed by his own descended and so masterfully at that. He realized that Harry had played on his emotions to make him angrier so that he would be easier to handle. Truly masterfully deceived.
"But there is one thing I don't understand. When did you have time to kill the piece of shit who had my wife's locket?"
Harry smiled "I didn't.. he came to me. When I was a toddler that idiot attacked us and killed my parents. He then used the Killing Curse on me. But I managed to reflect it right back at him. That's why I am known as The Boy-Who-Lived. "
"Ha! So the fool practically committed suicide" Salazar said with a large grin
"Nope he is still wondering around as a Wrath. He was 'killed' bur due to some rituals that he did his soul is still bound to the mortal plane." Harry said offhandedly
Salazar then went back on the terms of his agreement with Harry. Harry specifically said 'destroyed' not killed. "I see. Well played young one. But are you sure its a good decision to let a threat like him be wandering around" he tried to steer the conversation in the direction he wanted. And he wanted Voldemort dead.
"Yep. After all who is going to gather an army of some inbred morons if he is dead." Harry says with a cruel smile.
Helga was speechless "You are letting him leave just so he can gather an army for you. An army you plan to slaughter like a bunch of chickens"
"Bingo~. Give the lady a prize. He is going to save me a lot of effort, I don't want to waste my time hunting them down. Their souls and family magic will all belong to me. Even if their so called 'family magic' is primitive and simple, its still allows me to skip starting an entirely new branch."
Salazar's smile never left his face ' I'm glad I got called back. I'm also glad I never had to fight against this little monster. Who in their right mind would let a huge army of enemies gather because he is too lazy to go and find them himself?'
"Very well. Summon me anytime you wish to visit my chamber"
Harry's eyes actually widened at that and then he grinned "Hoo~. As expected from you"
Salazar had picked up enough about Harry's personality to realize that Harry didn't want to rush through this. This whole thing was for him to make a pact with them. He would go and get his rewards at a later time when it suits him
"I'm completely lost" Godric deadpanned
"Nothing new there" Rowena crossed her arms
" What did you say you sad excuse of a Scottish Woman"
"What did ye ca' me ye rid haired brute!" Rowena yelled out
Helga sighed "Great he pissed off Rowena. she let out her Scottish accent "
"Ye heard me ye arrogant boot" (boot=bitch? Rly?) Godric got in her face and both of them started to glare at each other
"Well this has been fun. But how about you let us go now" Salazar turned to Harry, Helga nodded along "I agree dearie. You can summon me anytime. I will show you my research and even help you out with your plants. Unlike the others I would very much like to see what kind of plants you have in this age"
"I see, thank you for your help then" Harry thanked them both
"Hey what about me! Why did you even summon me for" Godric called out
"Oh. I just wanted to piss you off and to see the face of the moron who got killed by his own son for raping his wife. Goodbye" Harry raised his hand and gave him 'the finger'
"Fuck You! You litt-"
And just like that all three of them were gone. Only Rowena was left behind with a confused face.
"I'll give you a minute to say goodbye" Harry said to Rowena and Helena as he walked away
He commanded the Room of Innovation to shift to some rare books that are in Hogwarts. There was no rest for the wicked. He needs to copy all of these books and send them back home. Who knows how long he will stay in Hogwarts. It is true that he isn't hurrying anywhere.
But if he knows one thing is that fate and luck are fickle.
"Well that is unexpected of him" Rowena says with a surprised expression
"He is planning something. But i think its better if we don't talk about him." Helena turned to Rowena
"I guess this is goodbye mother. Well until I let go of my grudges and eventually pass on as well" Helena says offhandedly ' If i can even pass on anymore. I'm not a ghost after all' she thought to herself
"Helena" Rowena said softly " You have done something that was thought to be impossible. Being a ghost was only a temporary thing until the ghost decides to pass on. But as you said you are not a simple ghost anymore. Because of me you weren't able to live out your live. Stick with that boy, he may find a way to bring you back to life. And this time I want you to live to your fullest."
Helena didn't say anything for a few moments before she turned to Rowena "I will try... Mother"
Rowena let out a few tears " That's all I can ask of you."
She turned to Harry who was busy copying down some books " Mr. Potter. It would be better summon me again unless its absolutely necessary . It feels wrong for me to be in the mortal plane."
"Sure" Harry says while shrugging his shoulders
"Take care my daughter. I will be watching more closely from the other side" Leaving one final warm smile she disappeared into thin air.
There was a silence in the room for the next few moments. Until Harry nonchalantly decided to break it. "Well now that they are finally gone its time to get to work"
Hope facepalmed while Helena just deadpanned at the boy. Her emotions were a wreck but this kid didn't care one bit.
'Show me the Secret Library. Show me the Secret Library. Show me the Secret Library. '
Upon 'reading' the commands from his mind the room shifted. There was only a stone room with stone doors. In between the two stone doors there was a very tiny hole. Harry immediacy knew what he had to do. With a sigh he put on the ring and walked to the doors.
'Hmmm. Thinking about rings. I should forge some and enchant them. That could be an interesting idea. Didn't I write this down? I think I did. Fucking Occlumency. I got perfect memory meaning I don't lose any data. But finding that data is a pain in the ass with all the experiments I do. I should really spend more time sorting out my memories from my experiments and all the little 'notes' I put in my mind'
Harry presses the ring inside the little hole.
Crrrrrr
The doors open up to reveal... a large bookshelf?
"Ha?" Harry makes a confused expression 'What kind of bullshit is this?'
There were about 500 hundreds books in total. 'What kind of shit was Rowena smoking when she made this? I have more books in my dining room then there are here'
At first he was visibly confused. But then he started reading the titles. After every book his eyes widened further and further.
Every book. Every single one was a rare book about magic. This is the peak of what the Wizarding World had to offer a thousand years ago. Including Rowena's Self-created Spells. Some Lost Languages. Complex Rituals. Rowena's Arithmancy calculations.
"Oh ho ho. I'm gonna be busy the next few days," Harry says with grin on his face while rubbing his palms
"Well since I am not needed anymore. I shall be leaving you to your endeavours" Helena says politely
Harry reacts to that and frowns 'How can I get her to be my assistant. A thousand years of knowledge. She would help me out a lot. But she needs a body so that she can conduct experiments for me.
It would have to be a Homunculus or Golem Doll. Hell I can even try to make a Gigai to go along with my Bleach Theme. A Gigai is an artificial body designed to house a soul. In a way its completely different from a Homunculus. A homunculus is an artificial human. They can eat food, drink water and even procreate. A Gigai is just an 'empty shell' in a way deigned to 'store' or 'house' a soul.
Hmmm. Lets go with Gigai. It should be the simplest one to make. Making a Doll would require too much effort and it wouldn't have the same effect. Plus they need to be made out of some rare materials otherwise they will be fragile, and I sure as hell ain't spending my rare stuff on her'
Hope gives her a small bow "Thank you for your assistance Lady Helena. You have made things much more easier than it would have been had we been alone"
Helena smiles at the polite young girl "Think nothing of it child. I gained a lot as well. I was able to see my mother and her friends again. Even if it was only for a short amount of time. I feel like a lot of weight as been lifted from my chest"
" I'm sure it must be liberating. Well I wouldn't want to keep you here any longer. I'm sure you have more important things to do, especially now, than proceed to endure Harry's presence" Hope chuckled at that making a little joke hopefully to make a more favorable impression on Helena. She was hoping to improve it even just a bit.
Since her impression of Harry was probably a 'scamming rude con artist'
Hope nudged Harry a bit breaking him from his thoughts. She stared at him for a bit, hoping that he get the message 'Say goodbye... properly'
Contrary to her plans Harry just grinned. And it was not one of his regular grins. This is the same grin he gave the Founders. The 'I'm going to scam and rob you blind' grin.
"Helena. What do you think about me building you a physical body?"
Helena and Hope just stood there frozen in shock.
"" WHAT?! ""
Did he just suggest to bring her back to life?
