Harry looked over his shoulder when he heard the door creak open.

"Oh, It's just you." Harry said to Ron who was standing in the doorway. He rolled back over. He heard his friend walk across the floor and felt the bed dip as Ron sat down behind him.

"What's been going on with you recently Harry?" Ron asked concerned.

"Are you still sick? You've hardly left your bed in a week. Hermione and I are worried."

"I don't know. I thought it was just a cold. I'll go see Madame Pomfrey in the morning." Harry said.

"Ok. Well, night Harry." Ron stood up and walked to the bathroom.

"Night Ron."

Madame Pomfrey waved her wand over Harry while he laid on a bed in the infirmary.

"Well Mr. Potter, it's not a cold. It seems you are coming into an inheritance."

"What's that?" Harry asked.

"An inheritance is usually just a boost in magical power but when creature blood is involved sometimes you will inherit the power or characteristics. One example is the Veela. Others would be elf, vampire, incubus or succubus, and in some cases goblin. Most teens get their inheritance around 16 or 17. I will ask Professor Snape to brew the Inheritance and Family Tree potions and we should find out in a couple of days. " Madame Pomfrey explained.

"Ok. Thanks Madame Pomfrey. See you in a few days." Harry waved to the nurse as he left the hospital wing. Neither of them saw the beetle that flew off the back off Harry's shirt and out the window.

"So what did Madame Pomfrey say?" Hermione asked at dinner that night.

"It's just my inheritance and we'll know what it is in a few days."

"Well that's good. Oh. Here comes Ginny."

"Hey Harry, can we talk?" Ginny asked shyly.

"Yeah. Let's go out in the hall. It'll be quieter." He stood up and walked out of the Great Hall, Ginny trailing behind him. They walked down the hall a ways and ducked into an alcove.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Harry asked.

"I've liked you for a while now and I was wondering if you'd like to go out sometime?" Harry was shocked.

"Umm, Yeah I guess so." Ginny squealed and pecked Harry on the cheek. She grabbed his hand and began pulling him back towards the Great Hall.

"Let's go tell everyone." Ginny skipped down the hall. She turned around and gestured for him to hurry up. He caught up with her and she grabbed his hand before they pushed open the doors. She dragged him to where Hermione and Ron were finishing their dinners.

"Guess what? Harry and I are dating now!" She gushed. Ron looked at Harry.

"I know you wouldn't but if you hurt her I've got 5 brothers to help me hurt you back." Ron clapped Harry on the back and smiled before taking Hermione's hand and heading to the common room. Ginny grabbed Harry's hand again and dragged him over to where her friends were so she could eat dinner. She spent the rest of dinner gossiping with her friends while Harry stared off into space.

Harry waved goodbye to Ginny as he climbed the stairs to the boys dormitories. He pushed open the door and was pulled into a hug by Ron.

"This is great! You're really part of the family now!" He exclaimed. Harry was hurt. Did he not consider him family before?

"Yeah." Harry mumbled as he walked over to his bed and climbed in. He laid in his bed and thought about what had happened that day. I have a girlfriend now. He was obviously still in shock. It wasn't long after Seamus turned the lights off that Harry fell asleep.

~~~Dream Start~~~

"Come on Harry!" Ginny giggled as she ran through the Forbidden Forest.

"Ginny! Come back! We're not supposed to be out here!" Harry looked around for his girlfriend's bright red hair. He caught a glimpse and walked up to the tree she was hiding behind. She was facing away from him.

"Come on Gin. Let's head back in."

"I'm afraid your little girlfriend isn't going anywhere Harry." Harry checked for his wand. He didn't have it.

"What do you want with her?!"

"I wish to destroy your spirit. Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort shouted as the green light connected with Ginny's body.

"NO!"

~~~Dream End~~~

Harry shot up in bed. He barely had time to turn his head before he threw up. Dean jumped out of bed and turned on the lights.

"Harry? You ok?" The concerned boy asked. He was answer with the sound of Harry throwing up again. He walked over to check on harry when he saw the blood.

"SEAMUS! Go get McGonagall! Harry's throwing up blood!" Seamus ran down the stairs and to the Professors office.

"What's wrong with the boy Poppy?" Minerva McGonagall asked.

"He's just getting his inheritance. It's going to be painful and it's one I've never seen before. Severus is already brewing the potion for him as well as the Family Tree potion. We should know what it is tomorrow. However he must spend a few days here regardless." Poppy explained. McGonagall nodded.

"I will send Ms. Granger with his school work. Well, goodnight Poppy." McGonagall left the hospital wing feeling somewhat better. At least she knew what was going on now.

"Here you go Poppy. Which one of the dunderheads is it now?"

"Severus! If you must know it's Mr. Potter. Do you know if Lily had a creature inheritance?"

"No. If that's all you needed, I have a class to prepare for." Snape stormed out of the wing.

"That boy will never change." She shook her head and walked over to Harry's bed.

"Rennervate. Mr. Potter. I've got the potions." She uncorked the vials and set them on the table.

"How do they work?" Harry asked.

"They require a drop of your blood each and then we put a drop of the potion on parchment and we should have the results." Poppy explained.

"Ok." She pricked his finger with a pin and squeezed a drop into each vial. The potions turned red and she put a drop of each on the parchment.

"Oh my."
