Of Things Not Known
Chapter One:
The wizarding world's hero Harry Potter lay on the makeshift bed in the cupboard under the stairs nursing the swollen lip he got from his latest beating. Earlier this summer, at the end of his school term, a group of people called The Order of the Phoenix had threatened bodily harm to the Dursleys if they hadn't straightened their act up towards Harry. As soon as they had gotten home Harry was made aware of just how angry Uncle Vernon was.
"Those freaks have no right to threaten my family or me!" He had roared his face purple with rage "I will be writing to that freakish school to notify them of your removal from it!" He said as he quickly scrawled a letter to the headmaster. He looked utterly disgusted as he tied the note to Hedwig's leg, before she left Harry whispered for her to stay at Hogwarts. Harry didn't know what Uncle Vernon would do if she came back.
That day he had gotten his first beating of the summer, he had also been moved back to the cupboard, and his stuff was sent to the attic. If any owls or muggle mail had tried to make it's way to Harry it had failed.
He felt totally alone and he didn't know if he would be able to survive the summer, at the frequency and intensity of the beatings. Slowly but surely he fell into a feverish and fitful sleep, not noticing that it was his birthday, his sixteenth birthday, and certainly not even thinking that in a few moments he would get a 'birthday present' that would change his life forever.
Dream Sequence
Harry felt as if he was floating, everything around him was blurry. Slowly he could see things starting to become clearer. As he looked around he got a distinct sense of familiarity. When everything became focused he realized, with a start, he was at Hogwarts.
He started walking to the Great Hall and compared his surroundings to what he remembered from Hogwarts, he saw that things were different, more like everything was still brand new.
As he entered the Great Hall he notice five people sitting at the teachers table and an empty seat. Harry felt warmth and safety wash over him as the group of people looked up and smiled at him. He was safe here and he knew it, but he also knew that this was a dream, therefore he couldn't stay here forever. He studied the smiling faces of the people; there were three males and two females. Suddenly he realized he was looking upon the four founders and Merlin himself!
He was even more surprised to see Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin, and Rowena Ravenclaw all gesture for him to sit in the sixth and final seat. He slowly moved to the seat, wincing as he put weight on his broken leg. Rowena gasped as he sat down and his bruised and battered face came into the light. She had to hold back a cry of anguish as she took in his other injuries, a broken arm and leg, numerous broken ribs, a broken collarbone, and a mild concussion.
Almost inaudibly she muttered a healing charm for his arm and started working on healing his other injuries and bruises. As Rowena worked Harry looked at the faces of the other founders and Merlin. He was shocked to see that they were angry with the people who caused him this pain.
As Rowena finished Harry just stared at the group of people who were obviously concerned for him. Harry was confused too, he knew that Rowena healed him but this was a dream right? Rowena saw his slightly bewildered face and started to explain.
"My dear, this is more than a dream; we have called you into the spirit realm. We have some very important things to tell you--"
"Now Rowena" reprimanded Godric Gryffindor "other people want to speak to him also!"
Harry was confused over this playful bantering but attention was regained when Salazar began to speak
"Harry we, the founders and Merlin, wish to tell you something that even your headmaster Albus Dumbledore is not aware of--"
What was said after that Harry tuned out 'Is this a trick from Voldemort? If so how can I get out?' thought Harry frantically.
"Harry," Helga whispered "Voldemort isn't aware of this and we are certainly not illusions. Merlin has charms against that you know!"
Harry blanched as Helga finished. How did she know what he had been thinking?
"Harry this is of dire importance," Merlin began, "you are a special boy not only because you are The-Boy-Who-Lived and are the only person who can defeat Voldemort but because you are the heir to the four founders and myself. Yes even Salazar, Voldemort is not really his heir even though he stole your blood, so he's not the true heir. He may claim to be Salazar's heir but in all reality he is a fraud.
History may portray Salazar as a dark wizard, but he was as light as many come, though he did have strong feelings when it came to allowing muggle born students to be enrolled at Hogwarts.
When you awake you will have many gifts such as the gift of speaking to the dead, the gift of being able to speak to animals (magical included, the gift of metimorphangi, the gift of animaguis (any thing including magical.), the gift of telepathy, the mastery of potions, the second sight, apperation, the gift of healing, wandless magic, controlling the elements and more. In addition to these talents you will receive more over the next few weeks.
Your appearance will change to adapt to the changes in your body, so be prepared to look different. In addition the rules of underage wizardry are now do not apply to you, so you can now apperate and use magic (Maybe give Dudley his tail back, and some ears to go with it!) Also the muggles rights over you as guardians have been revoked, you can leave as soon as you wake.
In addition you can now apperate in and around Hogwarts, as it will now recognize you as its master or owner. When you return to school you will find a room that we designed for you, no one else knows about it so you can have somewhat of a private life.
In the coming week family from America will find out you live. Give them some slack they have lost a sister and they thought long ago that they had lost their only brother and his wife and child. There many prophecies that include you and their children. And many are not known to Albus Dumbledore. You will also receive powers from them and will need to study with them. Soon after you report to Albus you need to arrange for a transfer to America, because you need to train with them and learn how to control your abilities. You will know who these people are in time.
When you wake up your belongings will be outside of the cupboard you have been forced o reside in, shrunken. Plus we have given you a Storm Phoenix, her name is Nataysha. Take care of her. Like I mentioned earlier as the weeks go by other talents besides the ones we have named, which will appear when you awaken, will make themselves known."
"Good bye Harry! Keep safe!" Chorused the founders and Merlin as everything started to fade back into oblivion. Harry tried to keep the sense of safety, of warmth, but it was quickly fading.
End Dream Sequence
Harry groaned as he was brought back to the harsh reality that he had been temporarily relived of. His head was pounding slightly, but he had just seen and learned a lot. Almost automatically he muttered a quick healing charm. Suddenly his Aunt Petunia cried out.
"What is that boy's thing doing out? And what is that dirty, smelling bird doing in my house?" She sat out.
Harry sat up as she mentioned Nataysha. Frantically he got dresses and, not thinking, he waved his hand and the cupboard door blew apart, revealing his startled Aunt.
"My things are out Petunia because I'm leaving this household for good!" Harry said slightly growling "and leave Nataysha alone, she is probley worth more that you or Vernon would make in a lifetime. Hmm... How about I make breakfast one more time, and then I'll pay you people back a little. I just found out I can use magic.
I think Dudley needs his tail back and maybe some ears to go with it. Uncle Vernon would probley look good as a whale, and I think you resemble a horse, so what do you think the neighbors would think of your new barnyard?" When Harry said that she paled and cried out.
"Leave! Just leave! I'm so sorry for the way we treated you, please don't do anything to us!" She said sobbing.
Harry 's grin faltered when he saw her start to cry. Why had he just done that? "I'm sorry Aunt Petunia. I really didn't mean that, I was just upset. I shouldn't have said that, but you people have made my life a living hell these past fifteen years. I'll go now." Harry said as he picked up his shrunken stuff and put them in his pocket, then set his Storm Phoenix, Nataysha, on his shoulder before apperating to Hogwarts.
