Hello and welcome, this is my new idea that I've been working on. Not sure how good it is, but I think the concept passes basic planning, so I'm just going to run with it and see what happens. Sorry for the short prologue hopefully I'll be able to lengthen it out in later chapters. But anyway to the story.

minor editing done and new plot thought up and the uploading error now sorted.

Prologue: Legacy of a sword

"James, what are you doing?" lilly potter asked her husband bemusedly, as she watched him struggling to balance on an old wooden ladder.

"Oh, hello dear" James replied as he tried to position the nail properly without falling. "you see it's a potter tradition, whenever we have children that sword" he said trying to indicate to the bottom of the ladder and only succeeding in unbalancing himself, causing a frantic grab for the ladder. " is always hung on the beam above the cot"

Lilly frowned as she saw the trouble her husband was having and so asked confusedly "um James honey you are a wizard you could just use magic to put it up."

"nope" James replied "not an option it's also a tradition that it is to be put up completely without magic, it's been this way for generations."

"Huh" Lilly spoke " that's interesting, why would a wizarding family have a tradition of doing something in a muggle way?" Lilly paused for thought for a moment "say is there anything unusual about that sword or is it just an heirloom?"

"just an heirloom I think" James replied distractedly as he was finishing adding the new nail "though" he continued "it does have some magic on it as no-one has ever managed to draw it"

"what?" lilly said with a hint of humour "all those who have tried have been judged unworthy? Is that it?"

James didn't answer for a minute or two as he was busy attaching the sword to the beam "hah" he exhaled in relief "so what do you think?" he said gesturing at the beam "hmm looks good, but are you sure it's safe?" lilly asked.

"Yeah totally, it ain't falling" James replied dismissively "but anyway, after all that I'm feeling kinda hungry so lets say we head downstairs and fix up something to eat?" he said with a grin while walking towards the staircase.

"Oh I suppose" lilly sighed dramatically "but really you and your stomach, you're going to eat us out of house and home" lilly pouted before heading off to join her husband in the kitchen.

And in the room behind her, Calamity sword of Sparda waited, patiently.
