Harry sighed as he lay on his bed in the Dursleys house. Just a few days prior his godfather, Sirius Black, the one man Harry thought of as a father, was now dead, and Harry believed it was all his fault. Of course, it wasn't, but Harry thought it was, he also thought it was his fault that his friends Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, and Luna had gotten hurt when they had gone to the Department of Mysteries. Harry appeared to be sad to anyone who would look at him but inside, he was in a huge rage. Dumbledore had waited 5 years to tell him the prophecy that said that it was up to Harry to get rid of Voldemort, and when he sent a letter to Dumbledore asking him to train him, he had flat out refused saying that he wasn't ready and he should just enjoy his childhood.

Yeah like that's ever going to happen, Harry thought to himself as he silently drifted off to sleep. Harry woke up to the sound of an owl hooting loudly, he sat up and saw an official looking owl sitting on his desk, surprised Harry walked over to it and untied the letter on the owls leg. Strange , he thought as he saw the Gringotts seal on it, he opened it and read it to himself

Dear Mr. Potter,

We are pleased to inform you that, as of Friday July 31, you are 16 and therefore officially emancipated due to your parents and late godfather Sirius Blacks' wishes as stated in their wills. Since you are officially an adult, you may now perform magic outside of school and we request that you come to Gringotts sometime this week to be inducted as the head of the Slytherin family. Questions concerning this letter or you're family vault will be answered when you arrive at Gringotts, preferably as soon as possible,

Sincerely,

Lord Gringott,

Founder of Gringotts bank,

Ruler of the Goblins

What the hell! Harry thought enraged. I cant believe I have a family vault, and if I have a family vault that means that I have mansion too! Harry was thinking very hard, ive got to get to Gringotts as soon as possible, but how? Then an idea lit up in his mind. "Dobby!" Harry said waiting for the familiar pop of a house elf apparating. He heard it a few seconds later.

"Dobby has come, what can Dobby do for Harry Potter." the little house elf squeaked excitedly. "Can you take me to Gringotts without Dumbledore finding out?" Harry asked as Dobbys eyes lit up with satisfaction and slight anger. "Yes Dobby will immediately, Dumbledore has been a bad wizard, asking Harry Potter sirs friends to spy on him." " Dumbledore has had my friends spying on me?" "Yes, but there are a few people who haven't betrayed you." Dobby spoke confidently

"Dobby, who has betrayed me, and who are my true friends?" Harry asked angering more by the second. "Dobby is sure that everyone besides the youngest Wheazy and Mr. Longbottom have betrayed you, sir. Also from what Dobby has heard from Fawkes, who has been spying on Dumbledore for your sake, The Wheazys have locked Ginny in her room for remaining loyal to you, also Fawkes has laid a Lightning Egg and has requested that I bring it to you, Dobby will be right back." With that Dobby disappeared with a pop, and reappeared seconds later holding a small black and silver egg in his hands. " Dobby, what exactly is a Lightning Egg?" Harry asked confused.

"Dobby apologizes for not explaining, a Lightning Egg is a phoenix egg that contains a developing Lightning Phoenix, Lightning Phoenix is a phoenix that has complete control of lightning, they are a rare species but, if one were to bond to a human, which Dobby thinks this one will do to you, the human they bond to will get all the powers the phoenix has, which is the ability to travel by lightning, similar to regular phoenix's flame travel but with lightning, and they will be able to use lightning as a weapon." Dobby explained carefully.

"So, inside that egg is a Lightning Phoenix that is going to bond with me giving me amazing powers, and… did you say that Ginny is locked in her room for being loyal to me?" Harry asked. "Yes, sir" Dobby bowed respectfully after putting the egg on Harry's bed. "Also Dobby should tell you that I is now your house elf, I performed the house elf binding ritual on myself yesterday." Dobby said nervously. Harry was stunned for a few seconds, then he thought, well I doubt I would've been able to stop him anyway.

"Ok, so can you take me to Gringotts now?" Harry asked suddenly remembering why he called him in the first place. "Of course, Harry Potter sir" There was a pop, and they were gone. Harry reappeared in the middle of what appeared to be an ancient meeting room. "Harry Potter sir, please take a seat." an old goblin sitting at a table spoke. After Harry was seated he spoke again. "Greetings, I am Griphoon Gringott (A/N: yeah he's Griphooks dad , er… father, or whatever goblins call their sire.), we are here today to discuss you're initiation as the Head of The Slytherin family, along with this responsibility, your soul mate will be brought here immediately so she can be initiated with you, after the initiation you will have all the knowledge of your forefathers and will be given the title of Lord Slytherin, your soul mate will be allowed to use the title Lady Slytherin once we perform the Soul Recognition ritual."

At this time Griphoon looked up and was amused to see that Harry's jaw was near the ground, and he kept looking like he wanted to speak but just couldn't. "What do you mean soul mate, and Soul Bonding ritual?" Harry asked quickly. "Well it is tradition for the Head of the Slytherin family to be married to his soul mate, the Soul Recognition ritual, is a wedding between soul mates, just with a fancy name." Griphoon answered ,still amused of course. " So, do you know who my soul mate is?" Harry asked nervously. "Actually yes, it was the easiest in the history of soul mates to find the connection between you two." Griphoon said, waiting for Harry's patience to wear out, it did. "Well who is it already!" Harry half yelled at him, Griphoon just chuckled and said "Your soul mate, as we discovered, is none other than Miss Ginevra Molly Weasley ." Griphoon said calmly. "Wait, didn't you say that you were going to bring her here? Her parents locked her in her room for refusing to betray me." Harry said still slightly shocked.

"Ahh…. Yes, about that, well the goblin squad should have just left to get her." Griphoon said nervously. "Did you say squad? As in, a small fighting force?" "Well, if they don't let her come, ancient law states that we must bring her here, through any means necessary." Griphoon said biting his lip. "Oh, the Weasleys aren't going to like this." Harry said smiling, well they deserve that. He thought silently.

Meanwhile, at The Burrow:

Molly Weasley was in the kitchen cooking dinner, Ron, Hermione, and the twins were outside playing Quiditch, and in Hermione's case, reading, while Arthur was watching them play. Up in the air Ron saw a group of goblins approaching the Burrow with spears in hands.

"Dad! Over there, Goblins!" Ron said terrified. Arthur approached the goblins and said nervously " Is there something I can do for you?" a goblin stepped forward and said in a commanding voice. "Are you Arthur Weasley, father of Ginevra Weasley?" "Yes, what do you want with Ginny?" The Goblin responded " She is to come with us to." Arthur immediately drew his wand. "Why?" The same goblin who ad spoken said " That is not your business, she is to come with us, we were ordered to use any means necessary to bring her before Lord Gringott." as he finished speaking all the goblins raised their spears, and in one case a staff, the goblin with the spear said something in a different language and suddenly Ginny appeared in front of them and the goblins, with Ginny in tow, disappeared with out a sound.

Back at Gringotts:

Harry and Griphoon were talking about The Slytherin finances when eight goblins and a confused redhead, suddenly appeared in front of them. " Very good, Ms. Weasley please take a seat." Griphoon said " Harry? Who is that, and why am I here?" Ginny said confused and slightly scared. "Oh, well this is Lord Gringott, and you're here cause you're my soul mate and according to Slytherin tradition, we need to get married, like soon, also we're here to be initiated as Lord and Lady Slytherin and given our forefathers/mothers knowledge." Harry said calmly.

"Well that was blunt, wait.. Did you say we have to get married? Why aren't you freaking out or something?" This time it was Griphoon who answered. " He was, but I got him used to the idea while we were waiting for the goblins to, as Harry out it, rescue you."

"So Harry, we really are soul mates, and getting married right?" "Yeah, I don't know about you but I'm pretty happy about it." instead of responding to that, Ginny jumped on him and started kissing him, but then Griphoon got them to stop when he cleared his throat loudly and said. "As happy as I am that you two are happy about this, Harry there is one other thing you need to know before we go to the vault."

This time Griphoon actually looked scared. "Your mother wasn't a muggleborn, as everyone thought, ahh… well maybe you should just cast the family tree spell, point your wand at yourself and say Familia Revealia" Harry took out his wand and said the spell clearly. Out of his wand came a piece of parchment. Harry and Ginny looked at it, it said:

Harry James Potter

Son of Lily and Tom Riddle

" Voldemort is my father?" Harry said slowly. "Yes, he is, and also the prophecy Dumbledore told you, its just a way for Dumbledore to get you and Voldemort to kill each other. That is also the reason you are being initiated as the head of the Slytherin family instead of the Potter family. "

Ginny, who had been quiet through this whole conversation finally said " Why does Dumbledore want them dead?" "There is a different prophecy, I don't know what it says, only Voldemort and Dumbledore know, that is the reason he wants the two of you dead. If you want to find out what it says, after we're done here, go find your father, he has been actively searching for you ever since he found out you are his son. Now come! We have wasted enough time as it is, you must be initiated before Dumbledore comes here."

Four hours later, newly initiated Lord and Lady Slytherin, disappeared with Dobby and reappeared in Number 4, Privet drive. "Ginny, before I went to Gringotts, Dobby brought me a Lightning Egg…" Harry then proceeded to tell her all about the Lightning Phoenix. "Wow, so when it bonds to you, you will be able to control lightning and travel by it, Harry that's amazing!" Ginny said excitedly.

She then got an idea and said smirking " Well Mr. Potter (even though he's lord slytherin, that doesn't mean his last name was changed too!), what do you say we wait just a bit before going to find your daddy?" "Well Mrs. Potter, what do you suppose we do until then?" Harry said with a sexy smirk thing (as Ginny has been calling for years). "Oh, I've got an idea or two." Ginny said before shoving him on the bed and proceeding to snog him senseless.

After they stopped, which was quite a while later, they noticed that a small black and silver phoenix was sitting on the desk across the room. "Harry… Oh my god, it hatched!" Harry walked up to it and touched its head, when he did that he felt a shockwave of electricity go through his body before he passed out.

When he awoke he was laying on his bed with Ginny standing over him looking worried. "what happened?" he asked weakly, Ginny sighed with relief and said "After you touched it, you passed out, and the phoenix glowed black for a minute, and then it grew into an adult in a few seconds." Soon after the Phoenix flew over to Harry's bed and landed on the backboard, Harry then heard a soft, cool, male voice in his head

'Greetings Harry, I am a Lightning Phoenix and now your bonded, or as wizards call them, your familiar. My Name is….'
