Ummmmmmmmmm, thank you to my beta Zoe, and the help of my friend Kelly, who told me what to edit.
Oh, and this is a introduction type chapter. Just introducing the characters (sp?). It will get more exciting. it just needed this chapter for you to understand the personalities of my characters. The POV's are of the heirs who all have their own story. Although Branwen and Katherine have similer stories to begin with this will quickly change. I think it will be on chapter 2 or 3 actullaly (sp?).
Heirs
Chapter 1
Katherine grinned to herself as Draco Malfoy, the ultimate Slytherin prince, eyed her from the other end of the Slytherin house table. He allowed a smirk to grace his pale lips; his grey eyes were glistening with lust. He'd been like this for a while, at every meal time his eyes followed her, accessing her of her Slytheriness (for lack of a better word).
Katherine Message was the perfect pureblood. She was beautiful, with white blonde hair that fell gracefully down her back. Her face was pale and hard, emotionless, but she liked it that way. People who wore they're emotions on their sleeves were pure Gryffindorks. Her eyes, a mystic pale green, sparkled with curiosity. She was interested with the world but she hid firmly behind her pureblood mask of superiority and coldness; pureblood Death Eaters weren't meant to see beyond the prejudice laws that had been laid down for centuries.
She lived with her Death Eater mother and father, Naomi and Damon Message, in their reasonably sized mansion. She had inherited her white blonde hair from her mother, who had hers cut shorter, just below her shoulders.
Her father, an amazing Death Eater who would serve their Lord until his end, but wasn't the best in the inner circle, he was one of those amazing few, the Dark Lord's most trusted. She wished to be like him in his sense of ultimate devotion to the Dark Lords most noble cause. Her mother, however, was more of the umm… convincing type, she, a good friend of Narcissa Malfoy, and worked in the Ministry of Magic, recruiting Death Eaters in high places for the Dark Lords use. Something Katherine believed that she would be good at; she did not just want to be a trophy wife for Draco. Katherine knew she would, one day, marry Draco Malfoy. She was lucky; he was a very attractive boy with a very promising future in the Dark Lord's service.
Walking on her own towards transfiguration, a lesson shared with the Gryffindorks, she spotted the Golden Trio laughing at something Potty had said. Potter was something many Slytherin's discussed, how did a pathetic half blood like Potter fight and survive fighting (her father had told her what he did in the graveyard two years ago) such a great wizard as the Dark Lord? Surly what they saw of Potter was a mask, the real hero was hidden underneath, that was until someone reminded the gossipers that Potter was a Gryffindor, not a Slytherin, he wore his emotions on his sleeve, what you saw was what you got. The light sides hero was the stupid Potter we all knew and defiantly didn't love.
Next in the Golden Trio's group there was Weasley, what to say about Weasley, blood traitors, the whole family, for such a pure lot they associated too much with Mudbloods, Muggle lovers and even Muggles themselves. Arthur Weasley was an embarrassment to the wizarding world. As Draco said, he loves Muggles so much he should break his wand and join them.
Ronald Weasley was a hot headed, arrogant and selfish Gryffindor.
But last, and certainly least, was the Mudblood Granger, how did someone with blood so filthy become so smart? She thought she was always right, and, although you'd never hear Katherine admit it, she normally was.

"Bloody Mudblood", Branwen muttered as Granger got her twelfth question today correctly without pausing to think.
Hermione Granger was the centre of attention in class; no teacher looked for any other hand but hers. She was always right.
Branwen, on the other hand, knew just as many answers as Granger did but didn't put her hand up to answer them. What was the point? Granger was always called on to answer a question correctly. At least Granger only had Arithmancy with her. Likely she had decided not to take Muggle Studies, then she would have had yet another class to share with Granger, one was enough.
Branwen Birch was the perfect cross between Ravenclaw and Slytherin. She was smart but cunning, with a keen interest for knowledge but knew to keep herself to herself. She had a small band of friends, mostly boys, although her best friend, Jessica, was female.
She had long hair which was the deepest shade of black, fell slightly wavy, down her back. She was incredibly pale and thin with dark blue eyes. Her face was also thin and pale with high cheekbones and red lips. Her hands were elegant, with long, thin fingers.
Branwen was born in Wales but moved to London when she was about five. She believed it was to move away from her father, the disgusting Death Eater; no pureblood should bow at another's feet! That was exactly what he did, snivelled and cowered at You-Know-Who's feet.
She and her mother lived alone in a London flat just outside the city centre. Her mother worked in the Ministry of Magic, in the Improper Use of Magic Office, sending letters to students that preformed magic in the holidays. She was brought up on strict pureblood traditions even though she and her family weren't one of the main pureblood families any more.
Branwen believed that purebloods should rule and that Muggles were below them, she also believed that Mudbloods should not attend Hogwarts and that Half bloods should be allowed to attend Hogwarts but should be made to completely respect the purebloods, to be below them in everything. But she never would kill or hurt them to get her views across because Voldemort's methods were stupid, he was likely to be defeated one day, a political approach would have been better than declaring war on the wizarding world!

Brock Wilson descended from one of the purest families in the world. His family was believed to go back to the very moment when a man first waved a wand. But he was regarded as a Muggleborn because, centuries ago, his ancestors gave birth to a squib. The squib married and gave birth to a child unable to perform magic. This happened again and again, generations passed and no magical heir was born to the line until Brock.
Brock lived on the south coast with his mother, father and younger sister Zoe, who was also magical. Brock was in Hufflepuff whilst his sister, a year younger than himself, was in Gryffindor.
He had a large circle of friends mainly from his house but he was also friends with Seamus Finnigan of Gryffindor and had spoken a few times to Neville Longbottom of the same house.
Brock was a loyal friend, a perfect Hufflepuff; he was short and slightly chubby with curly brown hair. He was slightly tanned with amber eyes and a round face with red cheeks.
Brock was feisty protective of his sister; many boyfriends of hers had been scared off by his protectiveness.
Brock owned an owl, Sophie, who really didn't like Zoe; she would drop dead mice on her head and steal her bacon.

Harry Potter, the saviour of the wizarding world, was worried; there had been no signs of Voldemort since last year when he had tricked Harry into going to the Ministry to save his godfather.
What was Voldemort doing, and what was he planning? This wait was beginning to play on Harry's nerves.
It was nearly time for the Christmas holiday's to begin in Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. So far this year had been an uneventful one. There had been no daring adventures where lives were at risk, but Voldemort was back and the wizarding world knew it. It wouldn't be long now; he would make his move soon. Harry didn't need his increasingly burning scar to know of that.
- - + - -
But Voldemort wasn't the only problem, another problem that was right within Hogwarts walls itself would arise; and four were chosen to stop it. The heirs of the founders will rise and protect the castle that they were chosen to protect. But time will be against them and demons will be close. Together they will fight or alone they will each fall and the future of Hogwarts will be no more…
What did you think? chapter 2 will be up soon, hopefully.
