Note: "." - talking . - thoughts ~.~ - animal language *.* - Telepathic
"wormtail" a cold voice rang in the dim light
"yes, m.my massster." a timid and soft voice replied
"my allies and followers are returning, Lord Voldemort will make sure of that" the cold voice said again with some form of amusment
A pause
"con, congratulations my lord" the timid voice said trembling
"yes, how is it with our little friend, Harry Potter" the cold voice asked
"mm,mmy lord. Harry Potter is going to start his fifth year at Hogwarts this September"
"that, I know.what else!" the cold voice said with a hint of fury
"my my lord, my informers would return with imformation soon, I would inform master once I know."
"that, you have failed"
"my lord, please have mercy"
"CRUCIO!!!"
A beam of light shot at wormtail. He shouted and started squirming on the floor. Wormtail screamed as he felt thousands of needles poking, hundreds of knives chopping him up and he felt as if he was burning. (AN. I don't knoe wat the feeling is actually, juz made it up)
Harry Potter woke up, his scar burning like never before. His eyes watered with pain as he tried to recall wat actually woke him up.
Voldemort and wormtail. He thought
The cold voice, the voice of Voldemort, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. The voice had said about his allies and followers returning.
Did that mean that the giants and dementors were returning to them.
Harry Potter shook his head and looked around his room, seeing only a blur. He reached out for his glasses on the bedside table and looked around again.
Nothing special. Harry thought
He walked to the window and looked out at the night sky. Nothing special he thought again. Turning back, he looked at the clock on his table. It read 3:03. He walked back to his bed and lay down, looking at the ceiling. Memories flooded him again. About last year. About the Triwizard Tournament. About Cedric. He could still remember what happened. How he died. It was painful to face everyone, to convince himself that Voldemort had rose again. He remembered Cho's face, her tears, but she was now only a friend. A friend Harry turned on his bed and his eyes caught the calendar, 30th of July. Tomorrow would be his fifteen birthday. He sighed and took off his glasses. A minute later and he was asleep.
Harry Potter woke up; he had a bad night's rest. Putting on his glasses, he tread down to the kitchen.
"HARRY POTTER! MAKE THE BREAKFAST! QUICK!!!" Aunt Petunia shouted.
"Alright." Harry said.
After all, breakfast was easy. Dudley's diet was still going on. He was even fatter, goodness knows why. Actually, the nurses have found him asking his friends to buy sweets and tidbits and smuggle in to him, but Dudley had 'begged' not the nurses not to tell his parents by promising to continue on his diet. So again this summer, the whole family had to live on 'rabbit food'. Harry cut half an apple each for the family and some low-fat high- protein milk each. He brought them to the table and set a plate in front of Dudley, who screwed up his nose at the apple.
"Happy eating, treat it as apple pie" Harry said softly to Dudley
"Mummy! Harry is bullying me!!!"
"HARRY POTTER!" Aunt Petunia shouted again.
Here we go again. Harry thought and rolled his eyes
A minute later, he was put to work. Cleaning the dishes, Mopping the floor, Clearing out the cupboards, Mowing the lawns, Digging the flower beds, Trimming the hedges. and so it goes on and on until nine at night
Harry pulled himself to his bedroom and slumped onto the bed, feeling exhausted. How he hated the Dursleys. He rested, closing his eyes. A birthday, a day of labour. Pathetic
"But you're not pathetic" A voice suddenly rang into his ears
Harry sat up, startled at the voice
"You're not pathetic" the voice repeated, "In fact, you're great!"
"Who are you.where are you?" Harry shouted out loud
"I'm in your mind, your heart" the voice replied, "Come, let me show you."
A bright light appeared, a mixture of red, blue, yellow, green and white. (AN. Very colourful) Harry looked around, but to his surprise the surroundings had changed. He was in another room, or chamber by the size of it. He turned and saw five people. Three guys and two women.
"Who are you?" Harry asked, "Where am I?"
The man right in the middle replied "Ahhh.Harry. Well, I am Merlin. And these are your four Hogwarts founders."
"WHAT!!! YOU ARE MERLIN!!! Wait a minute, I must be dreaming, I must be dreaming." Harry exclaimed, then muttered
The five people seemed very amused at his reaction.
"Yes, I am Merlin, and you are at my castle, my home" Merlin added fondly.
"But why am I here." Harry asked
"Ah yes, that's a good question. You are here simply because, YOU ARE MY HEIR"
"WHAT!!! I AM YOUR HEIR!!! Right, I'm really dreaming" Harry said and started pinching himself hard. "Yes, you are my heir, Let me tell you. You are my heir through your father, James Potter. He doesn't know that he was my heir, but never mind. The time has come for you to know, for as far as I know, Voldemort has rose again."
"How did you know?" Harry said, surprised
"Ah, my boy. I have my ways.Anyway; the world needs your help. And to help, you need our help. We have come to help you"
"I am your heir, that I think I understand, but why are the Hogwarts founders here?"
"Harry, we have come to give you help," A man with golden hair and wearing a scarlet robe said. "I am Godric Gryfinndor, that's Rowena Ravenclaw. This is Helga Hufflepuff, and that is Salazar Slytherin."
"Salazar Slytherin.Why is he here, I thought he had." Harry started
"You thought I had left." The last man with black hair replied. "But no, I had returned, I had realized my mistake and returned, but that was not recorded in history."
"We have limited time and must explain to you your powers, what you could do"
"Powers?"
"Yes, Harry, you are special. Although you are my heir, your founders have decided to give you their knowledge, to make you their heir too. For now the world needs great powers and help, and you must help to purge the world of darkness"
"Voldemort." Harry said softly
"That I regret, I did not know my heir was so evil, bad." Salazar said sadly
"Not only that. First, let us explain your powers. Harry, we would give you our knowledge of spells and enchantments. You would have superb memory, and you can sense evil in the air. You can apparate anywhere, and you are an Animagus, capable of turning into any form. And you can perform wandless magic, just in case your wand snaps. Many powers you would discover yourself, for even us do not know what you are capable of." Merlin started
"Wow."
"You can summon the four house animal guardians, and also summon the four elements. Fire, Water, Earth and Air. You can summon the sub-elements too, and the animal element guardians. They would help you on your way." Merlin continued.
"And you can fight with any weapons, we would bestow you with what we fight with" Godric added.
"We would now pass you our power, knowledge to you, Heir" Rowena said.
She walked over to Harry and put her hand on his. Harry felt wisdom flowing through his body, warming him. Then Godric did the same, this time courage filling his body. Helga repeated the procedure, and he felt a sense of goodness in him. This was followed by Salazar, and he felt the determination waking his senses. Finally, Merlin stepped forward. He placed his hand on Harry's and started transferring the knowledge. Harry felt warmth, stronger than before. He also felt peace and calmness. An aura formed, and all the five adults placed their hands on his. The aura grew, and a mixture of red, blue, yellow, green and white surrounded all the six of them. A necklace formed on Harry's neck. Clear round quartz beads on the chain, and in the middle of the necklace, a diamond. Side by side on the left were a ruby and sapphire, an emerald and topaz on the right.
Harry felt his appearance changed, he felt his hair grew longer and it turned grayish white. His eyes filled with wisdom but it was blurry as he wore his glasses, which was not needed. Slowly, the six of them opened their eyes and lifted their hands.
The adults took a look at Harry and started laughing at him. Feeling confused, Harry walked over to a mirror. What he saw surprised him. He turned around and glared at the others.
"That.that could happen sometimes, especially when your aura is unleashed." Merlin said laughing. "To make it disappear, close your eyes and calm yourself down"
Harry closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He felt his hair shrink back and when he opened his eyes, it was no longer blurry. (AN. That's not a good thing) He checked his reflection again and smiled.
"Harry, we must leave, but before we leave, we would want you to accept this present." Godric said.
Before Harry's eyes, a phoenix appeared.
"Wow, it's beautiful. Thank you" Harry whispered.
"We must go, but you could still communicate with us, see that necklace? Just touch the jewel that represents each of us. Godric the ruby, Rowena the sapphire, Helga the topaz, Salazar the emerald and me the diamond. The other quartzes, you could link it to the person you want." Merlin said. "We must go, but we would return"
With that, Harry saw a bright flash of light and he was back in his room.
~What should I call you~ Harry said, and then he realized that he could speak animal language, in this case the phoenix language.
~I don't know~ the phoenix replied
~What about, Faye~
~That's nice, thank you master~
~Please call me Harry~
~Ok, thank you Harry~
Harry smiled and turned back to his bed and saw.
End!!!
