Author's Note – A crossover with Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire wouldn't leave my head, so I made this.
Warnings – If you've watched Game of Thrones, you know why this is M. But it won't be as sexually explicit as Game of Thrones, I can tell you that.
The story is a blend of GoT/ASoIaF and HP, not 'so this was our history and Whoa Portals?!'
What this means is that some of their character will change, and magic won't 'exist', if you catch my drift (wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more, say no more).
Also, I'm not good with grammar.
Disclaimer – Ice and Fire belong to the brilliant GRRM, for making the kind of books that I longed for since I began reading books. The show belongs to HBO, and Harry Potter belongs to Rowling.
This first chapter will show the houses and be a sort of prologue (I hear your boos already).
It'll consist of the HP houses in here and how they coincide with Westeros.
As for who's telling you this, a playful hint is given at the end. You picture the voice from the beginning of the Fellowship of the Ring for fun (you know the one).

"Long ago, an old woman told me of a prophecy. She said, 'a Lion, a goat, and a snake will one day merge into a great beast and rule the seven kingdoms'.
Now I am as old as her, and I have yet to see the beast. Though I am curious about who it could mean.
Could she have meant a true beast, those which is said to speak the human tongue? Highly doubtful. That magic has long been gone from this world.
Could she have meant a house?
The only lions left are the Lannisters. Though they have money to rule, I don't see any walking up to rule in public. They seem to prefer the shadows.
Perhaps she meant a bloodline from House Gryffindor. Possible, the Potters in the north claim they hold the ancient lion's blood.
House Potter, bastard line of the Baratheons and Targaryens. Their prideful motto is 'Beware the Fury'.
The Lord of the house, James Potter, is said to house his own bastard in his castle, Harry Snow. Poor child, he must be getting tortured for such a name.
Any normal lord would have left the boy with his lower birth mother and be done with him, but those Northerners have such high standing of honor. I've heard the warren of the North Eddard Stark took in his own bastard after that tiff with the 'Mad King'...If only Rhaegar lived a bit longer as king, maybe the Greyjoys wouldn't have rebelled.
Speaking of the Ironborn, I wonder if House Dumbledore could be the goat? What was their motto again? 'Family is everything'? No, that's the Weasleys...'For the Greater Good', that was it.
I heard that the young one Albus is now lord of his house, became friends with a Pentos 'servant'. They should be called slaves but with that law with Braavos...
What was that servant's name...Gellert Grindelwald, I believe I've heard the young girls say. Apparently he is as handsome as King Rhaegar, but I don't believe that.
All that is left is the snake, and there is only one house that could be. The extinct House Gaunt, proud descendants of House Slytherin. There is only one boy who hold his bloodline now, the bastard son of Lord Tom Riddle, the First of his name.
Oh, the blood that stains those walls...It's not know how lord Riddle and the Lady of Gaunt meet, but the rumor that followed after she died giving birth are numerous.
'He raped her,' many say.
'She raped him,' supporter of House Riddle's say, 'using her snake witchcraft to trick him into giving her a child'.
Whatever is true, a child was born. And, loathed as Lord Riddle was wont to admit, the bastard boy was a high born, and he himself deflowered the baby's high born mother.
Loathed as he more of the high born mother's final wish to have her son take his father's name.
So Lord Riddle was bound to take his natural son into his home, leaving him to the midwives as he hunted for a new wife so he didn't have to name the child heir.
He found a woman from the Vale months later, but the woman gave him a daughter instead of a son. Lord Riddle wasn't happy.
By the laws of Westeros, if a lord didn't have a true born heir born to him, his bastard should be legalized to carry the name.
His daughter was given to midwives, kinder than Tom Hill's I've heard, and Lord Riddle yearned for a son.
After the news that the woman from the Vale could have no more children, the reasons never known, his wife had an unfortunate accident in the tournament. A broken spear made it's home in her brain, killing her almost instantly.
He spent only a month of mourning before he married a Frey woman. She gave him the son he wanted. Healthy and strong the child was, and named heir before he was a week old.
The Frey woman was kind, even acknowledging her husband's four year old natural son at dinner, even letting the boy feed his half brother from time to time.
It's a pity her and her unborn child was poisoned by someone. The same was done to lord Riddle's heir, but luckily a midwife came and rushed the babe to a maester.
Or unluckily, seeing as how the heir is now sickly and has trouble breathing. They say he won't get to see his ninth birthday...
Look at that, I rambled so much my cheese has arrived."

Embarrassing Fact – The Potter motto 'Beware the Fury' is both the name of one of my stories and my twitter. I have no shame.
I hope no one else had this idea and I unknowingly took it. If I did, I'm so sorry.
Also, Two uploaded stories in the same day? What's wrong with me? (Rhetorical question, please don't answer)
