Legacy
Chapter 1
Not yet a Man
Albus Severus Potter did not want to get up. It was too early in his mind to do anything but roll back under his covers and whittle away the morning unconscious. However his little sister had other plans.
"Get up get up get up!" She screeched in his ear her red hair bouncing wildly over her shoulders.
"Whazgoinon? Lilwhatheheckyoudoin?" he yelled incomprehensibly.
"Aunt Hermione and Uncle Ron are here! Hurry up! You lazy-"
"Right okay I'm up! I'm UP!" he bellowed at Lily sitting up and running his hand through his untidy raven hair. "But I thought they weren't coming till tomorrow? Aren't they still meant to be on holiday in France?" he continued putting on his glasses.
"I don't know but they're all here Rose and Hugo and the baby!" she beamed.
"Well I'll take it as an early birthday present. Hey do you think I'll get theirs tonight?" he asked hopefully climbing out of his bed.
"I wouldn't bet on it." Lily said and Albus' face fell. "You know Granny Weasley would go mental if you opened anyone else's before you opened hers and granddads."
"Yeah you're probably right." He said as they walked down the winding staircase down into the kitchen.
"Ah finally decided to grace us with your presence have you your Majesty?" Said his mother from across the kitchen her eyes narrowing.
"Oh Gin leave him alone, the boy likes his sleep." Said a slightly dishevelled looking Ron Weasley as he rushed forward to embrace his nephew.
"Just like his uncle and his father then." Retorted Ginny
After a hug from his uncle his Aunt Hermione came into view. She looked tired and her hair was a messy bushy bees nest but she was as cheerful as ever.
"I say you are getting more like your father everyday." She said giving his a kiss on the cheek. "Such a pity." She added with a laugh.
"Now, now Hermione I'm hurt" Harry Potter said finally looking up from his complimentary edition of The Quibbler.
"Well it's true! He looks like your double at seventeen." She said smiling.
"Except for one small thing of course." Said Harry pointing to the lightning scar on his forehead. How that scar amazed Albus. He knew his father had received the very first time he and Lord Voldemort had crossed paths but he knew little of what happened all those years ago but tomorrow that would all change. Tomorrow all the rumours and fantastic stories he had heard about his father's adventures would be confirmed and he like his older brother James, he would know the truth. Tomorrow he would be a man and finally turn seventeen.
"Yes well thank goodness for that" Said Ginny and everyone laughed. Then a baby started to cry.
"Oh dear I just got Molly down for a nap! I hate when they're teething." Said Hermione picking up a small redheaded child wrapped in an emerald blanket.
"Shhh Shh it's alright." She said rocking the little girl who began to quieten "Lily would you like to hold her?"
"I wouldn't" said another redheaded girl "She tends to spit up a lot."
"Rose!" scolded Hermione but the girl simply beamed up at her mother.
"I would love to Aunt Hermione!" Lily squealed taking the now sleeping bundle.
Suddenly there was a rap at the door and Albus shot up like a lightning bolt from the cornflakes he had been eating next to his father.
"That'll be Phillius." Said Ginny "You'd better go get it Al"
He nodded and made his way to the front door to greet his best friend. He opened the door to see a pale blonde haired boy carrying a broom, his greyish eyes twinkling mischievously.
"Alright mate!" he said cheerily as Albus showed him in. "Rose here?"
"Yeah she's in the kitchen but so is her dad!" Albus laughed but Phillius' face fell and went even paler.
"Don't worry though Phil I think he's beginning to warm up to you." He reassured him as they entered the kitchen.
"Phil!" Rose squealed and ran to embrace him while Ron looked on with a scowl on his face.
"Hey beautiful, how was France?" he said wrapping an arm round her wait.
"It was lovely! I have so much to tell you." She said smiling.
"You over to have a game of Quidditch then Phil?" Said Harry noticing the broom.
"Yes Mr Potter." He said respectfully
"Now Phil how many times have I told you to all me Harry. All this Mr Potter stuff makes me feel old." He laughed "How's your father? The family coming tomorrow?"
"Yeah dad says he can't wait to have a game of Quidditch, like old times." Phil laughed his blonde hair falling in his eyes.
"Then I'm afraid he'll lose like old times eh Ron? Fancy a game against Malfoy? We'll teach the kids to sing Weasley is our King" Said Harry remembering the good times but Ron just gave an incomprehensible grunt.
"Oh Ron don't look so dour!" Scolded Hermione "How many people are coming tomorrow?"
"Well there will be all of us and James wherever he's got to, Bill and Fleur and the kids, George and Melinda and the baby, Charlie and Helen, Ginny's parents obviously, Hagrid, the Malfoys as I just said, some more friends of Al's from school and Teddy of course and I think he's bringing Vic." Harry explained
"Big crowd then." Said Hugo from the corner.
For a while there was chatter amongst everyone in the kitchen as they discussed the upcoming birthday celebrations, which would be happening the next day.
"Headmistress Weasley." Said Phillus to Hermione "Who's to become Head boy and Girl this year?"
"Unfortunately I cannot decide that this year since my own daughter is a candidate." Hermione explained looking at Rose "But I have put in my vote and it falls to Deputy Headmaster Longbottom to decide. It should be decided by tomorrow but I have no idea who is in the lead since we've been away."
"Why are you back so soon Aunt Hermione?" Asked Albus. Hermione glanced at Ron who nodded.
"Actually we have to discuss something with your father." She said all of a sudden nervous. Albus could feel tension rise in the small kitchen.
"Really" asked Harry surprised "What's it about Mione?"
"Well it's about…" Hermione hesitated "Dumbledore"
Albus was confused but was sure that he saw his fathers smile falter for a second but only for a second.
"Well what are we hanging about here for, come on we'll go upstairs to the study." Harry said quickly but trying to seem cheery.
"Is something wrong dear?" asked Ginny
"No not at all…come one you two."
The trio left the room so purposefully that it looked as if time had rewound itself twenty-five years. For a while there was silence, the younger generation had no idea what this meant but Ginny Weasley had become very pale.
"Who's up for Quidditch?" said Phillius brightly
There was a roar of jumbled yeses and excited enthusiasm as they all made their way out of the kitchen and into the back yard.
"Accico brooms" Phil said pointing at a near by shed and half a dozen broom flew out of it. "Figured I'd be quicker mate since in already of age. Two teams then?"
"Yeah but there's only five of us someone will have to sit out." Albus said.
"What are you going start without me?" a voice said from behind them. Albus whirled round to see his older brother standing at the back door.
"Course not James!" Said Phil "Glad to have you."
"Right" said James "Phil, you take one team of three and I'll take the other, I'll let you pick first."
"Hey! I was going to be captain of one!" Moaned Albus, James ruffled his hair.
"Sorry little Bro elders first!"
"Okay I'll pick….Rose!" said Phillius
"Man that's low Phil, your girlfriend over your best friend!" Said Albus laughing but Rose just stuck out her tongue playfully.
"Albus you're with me." Said James
"Then I'll take Lily- cant have a team with all siblings!" laughed Phil
"That leaves Hugo with us then" said Albus
The teams picked they had a roaring game full of laughter and glee. It could have not been better. However Albus couldn't forget the smile faltering on his fathers face. When they finally hauled themselves back in Harry, Hermione and Ron still had not appeared.
"Well I'd best be off" Said Phillius "Mum's expecting me home for tea. Catch you all tomorrow." Phillius waved to them and feverishly looked around for Ron before giving Rose a quick kiss and left.
"I'm going to for a shower Mum." Said Albus
"Alright dear but be quick because dinner's soon." replied Ginny
"Do you want me to shout dad?"
"No." Said Ginny nervously nearly dropping the pot she was carrying "What I mean is…he and Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione are very busy so it's best not to disturb them."
"Right." He said. He walked up the first flight of stairs and was about to head up to the second when he heard urgent whispers coming from the first floor study. Knowing he shouldn't he moved towards the door which was slightly ajar and began to listen.
"Are you sure? I mean really." Said the agitated voice of his father
"Saw it with my own eyes mate. It wasn't the Dark Mark but it had similarities…." Said Ron tentatively
"And it had the Hallows sign, that's why we came straight back, told the kids that we didn't feel like flying and there was nothing else to see in Disneyland." Hermione added miserably.
"And the bodies…" Harry asked and Albus took in a sharp breath.
"A man no wand and a teenage girl still clutching one. As we said it was messy too…. looked like someone had used the Sercumsemtra curse." Ron explained.
"This isn't good. I thought we'd never come across anything like this again." Harry said miserably.
"Me either, I was quite enjoying the quiet life." Added Hermione.
"It seems the golden trio are to have one last adventure." Said Ron but not in a happy tone of voice.
"Yeah it looks like it, well I guess deep down we knew peace wouldn't last forever. We'll need to inform Malfoy, he's been keeping track on things like this and the Minister obviously. I just don't know what I'll tell Ginny and the kids I mean we might be gone for months Ron…" said Harry
"I still don't see why I can't come with you two!" protested Hermione
"You know why, we have to have someone here! And anyway you can't leave Hogwarts." Explained Harry.
"Just as long as you two aren't trying to pull some noble thing to keep me safe or some crap like that." Warned Hermione; giving Harry and Ron a contemptuous look.
"Believe me we'd much rather have you with us." Ron said taking her hand. For a while there was a silence: not awkward really, just sad.
"I always thought I'd be there with you. That we'd be together every step of the way…" Hermione said close to tears.
"We thought the way was over." Harry replied bitterly "But don't worry Herms the minute we find anything- if there's anything to be found- we'll owl you. You'll be there."
Albus had never heard these solemn tones from his father and Aunt and Uncle before. It was unnerving and what they were discussing troubled him greatly. What was going on? What were they planning? Where were his father and Uncle Ron going? However his thoughts were interrupted as he heard footsteps coming closer to the door. Quickly Albus dove under the stairs to hide. This had been much easier a few years ago but now unfortunately he had taken after his father and spurted up to near six feet, therefore he had to squeeze himself into the tiny gap. When the Golden Trio had made their way down stairs and their footsteps faded away Albus emerged from his hiding place. He stared at the flight of stairs in front of him and briefly considered marching down them and getting the whole truth out of his father. However he realised that he had kept his past secret from Albus for seventeen years and storming down there and demanding answers to all of his questions old and new would be of help to no one. No he would wait till tomorrow. It would all be explained and Albus would know what his father was talking about. He would just have to wait one more night.
Yeah we were told Draco's son was called Scorpius but you'll find out why he isn't being called that in the next chapter so please don't start a witch hunt on me!
