Chapter 1
James and Lily Potter were 19 years old and had been married for around a year now. They had gotten a urgent letter from their account manager at Gringotts that morning saying that they needed to come by at their earliest convenience. For, he had discovered something of great importance that needed to be straightened out as soon as possible.
The Potters had already replied that they would be there in the next hour and to expect them via portkey. It was forty-five minutes later and they were getting dressed after a nice combined shower. A few minutes before the hour struck James tapped the tip of his wand on a silk hankerchief and they soon felt the hook behind the navel pull of portkey travel.
They soon arrived at Gringotts and a goblin was quickly walking over to them. The goblin greeted them, " Greetings Lord and Lady Potter please follow me to Master Ranarok." They looked at each other curiously, but nodded before following the young goblin through the maze of hallways in the bank. After a 5 minute walk they arrived at a dark wood door with the Potter Crest upon it. The young goblin quickly announced their arrival. They were soon inside the artfully decorated office.
The Potters bow in respect to the master goblin and then after the respectful greeting they get down to business. James then says, " Master Goblin Ranarok you said in your letter than you have discovered something of great importance." The goblin cleared his throat before replying, " Lord Potter, we all know that the Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter is the decendents of the Gryffindor line." At James nod Ranarok continued. "However, in order for it to continue it needs an heir."James nodded, " Lily is already expecting..." The goblin closed his eyes and sighed before shaking his head, " Lord Potter, Lady Lily Potter will give birth to the Potter heir." Lily quietly gasped at the realization and quickly covered her mouth as Ranarok added, " Lord Potter in order to have a heir for the Gryffindor line you need to marry another witch. These lines need to become seperate in order to save it from being taken out of the Wizagmot.
The goblin calmly asked James, " Do you know anybody that would be able to join your family and be willing to become a second wife as well as Lady Gryffindor?" James was is shock, but was trying to think of anyone who would fit into their already growing family. It was then that Lily spoke up, " James, what about Hermione?" James looked over at his young wife and said, " Are you sure Lily?...I mean this is really up to you my love. You would be the one that would be around her more than I since I am an auror. Lily stopped and thought for a few moments and then nodded, "Yes James. She is the only one who I would feel comfortable with sharing you with." James sighed and then turned to Ranarok, " How long do we have?" The goblin replied, "Six months till you have to be married to your Lady Gryffindor." James sighed once more, but nodded then turned to Lily, "Okay, lets go owl Hermione and see if she will meet up with us." Lily nodded and they said their goodbyes and excused themselves. They quickly portkeyed home back to Potter Manor and Lily went straight to her office to write her letter the her best friend.
