Harry potter and the year of power

Chapter one 'power unlocked'

In surrey, private drive 4, harry potter lay on his bed fuming, it was the second day of the summer and he had just received a letter from albus dumbuledore, headmaster of hogwarts ,stating that harry would not be able to leave his so called 'home' and go to the burrowor any other place until his birthday.

It was near midnight and the only thaught in harry's head after being angery for several hours with dumbledore, was of Sirius who's death he still thought was his fault, at midnight however harry started thinking of ginny weasley he did'nt know why he was thinking of her but as soon as he started thinking of her he forgot about Sirius and dumbledore and had fallen into a blissful sleep.

Harry was suddenly in a forest and what looked like a clearing.

A man spoke from the shadows "welcome young one"

Then a women said "do not be afraid we are your ancestors"

Wh...who ?

Then several people came into the clearing.one of them had beard and hair which were even longer than proffessor dumbledore.

Then another person spoke up "we are your ancestors , merlin,godric gryffindor, Rowena revenclaw,helga hufflepuff and salzar slytherin" he said this while pointing each of them out.

"That means that I'm an heir to all of you"said harry shoked.

"That is correct,but we have very little time,we need to unlock your true power,please stand still so we can do the required ritual",said merlin.

Harry was really shocked, he never realized that he was a deceandent to the five most powerful withches and wizards, even if one of them is salzar slytherin.

Harry noticed that all his ancestors had formed a ring around him and had started chanting strange words.

Strange beams shot out of each of their hands and hit him in the chest and his world exploded around him and pain beyond pain seemed to consume his body.It felt like the cruciatus curse was a laugh in front of the pain he felt now,it was ten times more excruciating than the cruciatus curse.

It was five in the morning .

At first harry thought that the dream he had was just a dream,that being until he felt rather than saw a thick letter and a package at his feet.

Harry started to open the letter then started looking for his glasses,he found them and tried to read but all he saw was hazy writing when he took them of he could see clearly which was quite shocking to him.

He then proceeded to open the letter,a couple of papers fell out of it including a ring with a kind of a crest on it which had five symbols on it a badger a eagle a lion a serpent and a star, which was obviously the symbol of merlin while the other symbols were of the founders of hogwarts.

Harry found another thing that surprised him , that there was a faint P behind all these symbols,the same crest harry found,was on the letter.

Harry quickly tore open the letter and started reading it.

Dear harry

Harry started training from the day he had got the letter.He was soon advancing in Wandless magic and now could do most of the spell's.Harry also had learnt all His school book's and the book's merlin had given him a list off.He had also started to go To a gym and had appointed a personal trainer .

Flash back the day harry got merlins letter

The same day that harry had got the letter from merlin,he was thinking how he would get to diagon alley to exchange some galleons into pounds to pay for a personal trainer it was then that he heard somethingor rather someonein front of the house, harry looked out only to see tonks sprawled on the porch of private drive 4.

Harry immediately went outside and opened the front door to see tonks dusting her clothes.

She looked up and said "oh hiya harry, are you alright dumbledore sent me to check on you." "yeah I'm allright,could you do me a favour and take me to gringotts, I need some muggle money"?,said harry slightly frowning on hearing dumbledore's names.

Tonks thought for a little while and then said "I can do better than that give you some
muggle money write now",and saying this she took out a sheaf muggle 20 pound notes and gave them to harry and said "don't worry you can return the money later when I meet you. She then turned around and went on her way.
