Chapter 79: Uncle Remus

Back at home, Harry was sitting under the shade of a tree while pondering about the Peverell vault, and its connexion with his family.

For whatever reason, before the family had died out, they left for the Potters, their invisibility cloak, and their vault key. Two tremendously valuable things that they would not have given away casually.

If they were on friendly terms, the cloak would make sense, but why leave the key?

When he suggested attempting to open the Peverell vault, his father had denied him firmly. According to him, all of the vaults in that chamber require both, the key and someone of the family bloodline to open the door. Trying to open it otherwise could trigger security measures, which could put their lives in danger.

Were they supposed to guard the key in case some descendant appeared? or maybe protect it from someone else? There was no way to know. If they left any documentation about that, it has been lost to time, unfortunately.

And what about that sensation he felt when approaching the door?...it was like something inside was calling him. What was that about, could the Hallows be related to that vault?

Harry was no stranger to those artifacts. The cloak was more than the rest, but at one point, he even held all three of them at the same time.

According to Luna, that would have made him the Master of Death, as silly as that sounds.

He never felt anything different about himself or that he had any special power. He instead had worked hard to learn every piece of magic he knew. None of that was given to him by some mysterious artifact created by the embodiments of Death. Of that, he was sure.

"Harry, what do you think, aren't they cute?"

The voice of his sister brought him back to reality.

He looked up and saw his sister, Lyra. She was smiling while showing a very flashy pair of earrings. They appeared to be made of gold and had some green emeralds encrusted in them that matched the color of her eyes.

"From all the things Mom brought back...you chose earrings?" Harry was fairly sure she did not have her ears pierced the last time he saw her.

"Yes!, they were too beautiful to pass." She exclaimed.

Remus chuckled.

"Well, the Romanian settlement where I was staying was very close to an important vampire clan, so most of the things they had for sale were vampire-related."

"I hope you didn't bring Holly some garlic necklace or something like that." Lily joked.

"Very funny, Lil. But actually...garlic doesn't do anything against a real vampire." Remus commented.

"Have you fought against a real vampire, Uncle Remus?" Lyra asked with interest after putting the stake a good distance away from her.

"No, never fought one... luckily. But did talk to one a few years back. What a creepy fellow that was...but not too bad for a vampire I suppose." He shrugged.

"Did you at least have a fun trip?" Harry asked.

"Actually..." Remus's face grew more serious.

"Moony?, did something happen?" James glanced at his old friend.

"It may be nothing. But things were strange there... apparently, a lot of vampire clans had been disappearing all of a sudden. And no one knows why."Explained Remus.

"Disappearing? Could someone be hunting them?" Asked James.

"That's one posibitly. But a hunt this massive would not go unnoticed. Is more likely that they are leaving to go somewhere else." Said Remus.

"Is it a good thing that they are leaving?" Asked Lyra.

"I mean...they are scary creatures that feed on human blood."

"Is not good, Lyra. Not if we don't know where they are going...or what they are planning." Lily frowned.

Harry leaned back on his chair. 'Vampires are moving?...those guys used to be his allies...could it b-'

"Neville fought a vampire once!" Holly shouted with excitement at remembering that fact.

"That just happened in a book, don't be silly." Said Lyra.

"You are silly!" Holly got angry.

"Okay, you two..." Lily sighed.

"So, anyways..." Remus changed the theme of the conversation. Leaving Harry with more questions that no one can answer at the moment.
