Harry Potter and the Power of the Heirs

by Ha li bo te

chapter one: The one thought to be dead.

Harry lay in his bed thinking of all the events that had taken place in the previous year. He had ruined his chances with Cho, been banned from Quidditch for life, discovered his fate, and worst of all; He had witnessed the death of his godfather, Sirius Black.

Harry's trip from hog warts had been uneventful. No one wanted Harry to go back to the Dursley's, everyone was mourning for him, he even saw tears rolling down Cho Chang's cheeks; Though he wondered if those tears were for Cedric.

Harry hated Cedric in a way, though he still blamed himself for Cedric's death. Cedric was part of the reason Harry and Cho were no more, though if not for Cedric they may have never gone out. Harry still had feelings for Cho, he would admit it, but he didn't know how to tell her.

The Dursleys had fully ignored Harry since he returned, only speaking to him to call him down to supper. Harry wished they would give him some work to do so he could get his mind off Sirius. He had to face it: His life had become a complete and total wreck.

The phone rang.

Harry froze at the sound. Who would be calling the Dursley's at midnight? Harry decided to answer it before Uncle Vernon woke up. Harry walked down the stairs and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" Harry asked.

"Hello?" A familiar female voice responded.

"Cho?"

"Harry? I hope I didn't call at a bad time, I wasn't sure what those muggles had done to you."

"You know its midnight here right now?"

"Oh Harry I'm sorry, I just couldn't go on after our date without apologizing ."

"No, don't apologize, I shouldn't have mentioned Hermione; besides the only girl I like is y--"

"BOY! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON DOWN THERE? DOI YOU REALIZE WHAT TIME IT IS?" The voice of his uncle echoed through the house.

"I'm sorry Cho, looks like I'm caught, I'll owl you tomorrow."

"I'm way ahead of you," Cho started to giggle.

"Huh?" Harry asked confused, but it was too late, she had already hung up on him. Harry began to walk slowly up the stairs, angry at Uncle Vernon for ending his conversation with Cho. Harry opened the door to his room and found twelve owls waiting for him. In front was a pitch black all Harry had never seen before, he decided to open the package she was carrying first.

Like the owl had read his mind it flew forward and held out the small package tied to it's leg. Harry untied the package and unrolled the parchment with it.

Dear Harry,

How are you doing? Are those muggles treating you well? I know your probably wondering why I sent this letter to you, but I cant express how I feel with ink on parchment, I need to tell you myself. Could we meet in Diagon Alley before the term starts? I really need to talk to you, if I can get the courage to talk to you over the phone I will, if not I hope to see you soon in Diagon Alley.

Love,

Cho

P.S. I hope you like the gift I made you, I didn't get a chance to paint it though.

'Love' ; the word replayed in Harry's head over and over again. Did Cho still have feelings for him? Harry shook the thoughts about Cho from his head and moved to the rest of his gifts.

"Albus, our heirs must discover their powers soon, before Voldemort discovers 'The Weapon."

"Yes Godric, I agree , though there is a difficulty."

"What is it Albus?"

"It has been so long since I last spoke to you, I regret to inform you that the Hufflepuff heir has been murdered by one of Voldemort's followers," Dumbledore's face looked grim as he said the last few words.

"No, no, no, this is not good, you must get the two remaining heirs and bring them to me, NOW!"

"I'm sure Mr. Potter will enjoy staying at Hogwarts over the summer, as for Ms. Chang I'm not so sure."

Harry moved to the last gift; Cho's. he carefully opened the package, wanting to preserve the paper that the gift had been wrapped in. Harry stared in awe as he got his first glimpse of Cho's gift. She had perfectly carved a mighty lion with a large raven perched upon its back. "Thanks Cho," Harry whispered to himself as he smiled and then fell into the first good night's sleep he'd had in ages.

Harry awoke the next morning to a light tapping sound outside his window. Harry opened his eyes groggily to see what was at his window.

"Fawkes?" Harry asked in shock. Harry opened to window to allow the mighty bird to fly into his room. Harry untied the parchment tied to Fawkes' leg and unrolled it.

Harry,

Come to platform 9¾ as soon as you get this message, use the portkey that Fawkes is carrying, it will take you straight to King's Cross. I will be waiting on the other side of the platform, bring you school stuff.

Albus Dumbledore.

Harry stared up at fakes and noticed a glint of gold in his claw, the portkey.

Harry gathered his school things and made sure Cho's gift was safely on top. He motioned Fawkes over, who flew over and dropped the portkey ( a lifeless golden snitch.) into Harry's open palm.

"See you at Hogwarts," Harry said as he felt the familiar tug on his navel.

Thud.

Harry hit the ground hard, he took a few seconds to examine his surroundings;

He was in an alley. Harry moved quickly not wanting to be noticed, he broke into a run as he passed through the fake wall that led to the Hogwarts Express.

"Hello Harry," A calm familiar voice spoke from behind him.

"Professor Dumbledore, why the urgency? Did something happen?" Harry asked with a concerned look on his face.

Dumbledore held his hand up, "All will be explained, but first I should introduce you to your roommate for the remainder of the break," Dumbledore smiled through his half moon spectacles as they walked towards the Hogwarts Express.

"HARRY!" A voice screamed, before Harry could see who it was, they had their arms pulled tightly around him. Harry looked down and instantly recognized the hair.

"Err Cho, I can't breathe," Harry said as he gasped for breath.

"Oh, sorry," Cho smiled as she said this.

"I'll leave you to alone, please come to my office when you arrive at the castle; the password is Chocolate Frogs." Dumbledore said as he walked out of the compartment.

"Did you get my gift?" Cho asked with a large smile still on her face.

Harry opened his trunk and pulled out the wooden carving that he received the night before from Cho.

"Do you like it?"

"It's the best birthday gift I've ever gotten." Harry began to smile too.

"I didn't get you in trouble last night did I?" Cho seemed a bit worried

"No but I didn't get to finish what I was saying." Harry began to grin.

"Oh, what was that?"

"That the only girl I like is y--" Harry's voice was cut off by the sound of glass shattering.

"Cho wait here, I'm going to go take a look around."

"Oh no you don't Mr. Potter," Cho pulled out her wand, "you not going off and getting yourself killed, not while I'm around."

"Fine, but stay behind me." The doors of the compartment burst open, revealing two black robed figures on each side; they were trapped.

"The boy lives, kill the girl," the voice sounded familiar. One of the figures pointed their wand at Cho.

"Avada Kedav--," the figure began, but Cho was faster.

"STUPEFY!" Cho screamed, before the other figures could react, the one who had thrown the killing curse was sent flying out of sight. One down, three to go.

"Stupefy!" Harry yelled. Only two robed figures left. One of the figures started to run, Harry ignored it having his attention focused on the last figure.

"Ah, Mr. Potter, Ms. Chang, what a pleasure it is to finally meet you two. May I first congratulate you on passing your first test." The robed figure started.

"Test? This was all a stupid test? Those guys nearly killed Cho!" Rage began to build inside Harry.

"Yes, if they had been using real wands," the other robed figures appeared in the compartment once again. Harry and Cho pointed their wands at who they guessed was the leader.

"There is no need for that Potter," one of the figures pulled down their hood to reveal the face of Hog warts' potions master.

"Yes, Severus is correct," Two more figures pulled down their hood to reveal Tonks and Professor Lupin.

"Oh, I must apologize," the remaining figure reached for his hood, "With all the commotion I forgot to introduce myself; My name is Godric Gryffindor." The figure pulled down his hood. Harry's scar burst out in searing pain he looked around the room to see everyone's worried faces, just before everything went black.

(A/N): That's right, a cliffy on the first chapter. I bet you didn't think it was Godric did you? Tell me what you think, the next chapter will be out ASAP.
