The Hearts Legacy
All was quiet on Privet Drive, as it was close to being midnight and the occupants of the street were safely asleep in their beds, but one person was still awake staring at the ceiling of his room. This person was Harry Potter. He lived in the fourth house of Privet Drive. He had lived there since being brought there when he was just a year old.
It was July 30th 1996, for only three more minutes, and at the stroke of midnight, bringing in a new day, Harry Potter would gain his magical inheritance. You heard me, magical. For Harry Potter was a wizard. He was the son of Lilly and James Potter, who were a witch and wizard respectively, not only that but his mother's family, The Dursley's were muggles and he was forced to live with them after Voldemort, the darkest wizard of modern times, came to Godric's Hollow and murdered his parents, before turning to Harry and unbelievably Voldemort met his demise, or so everybody thought until two years ago.
Two years ago on the night of the final task of the Triwizard Tournament, Harry's blood, the flesh of the Potter's true betrayer, Peter Pettigrew and the bone of Voldemort's father were used in a dark and gruesome ritual that had returned Voldemort from a ghostly apparition to a full body and fully capable wizard. Harry had barely escaped the encounter with the help a strange effect of the twinned cores of their wands.
Now, it would soon be the 31st of July, and Harry would be free to do as he pleased. For you see, when a magical child is granted their inheritance on their sixteenth birthday, they are given a year to fully control any new gifts and power that is received, then when they turn seventeen they will become full adult in the eyes of wizarding law. The year between the sixteenth and seventeenth year is a probationary period so that the child can experience the life of an adult wizard before legally becoming one.
The clock was ticking down, now there was only one minute to go before midnight and Harry was dozing off. As the clock struck midnight, his eyes opened wide in shock as his body shook and as he curled his hands into fists, a black/purple color appeared around him along with a second, silvery white color that seeped into his body and the two colors went to work on his body.
They lengthened the height of his body from a measly 5 foot 7 inches to a whopping 6 foot and turned his black locks of hair into long silver tresses, along with this his eyes changed from their normal emerald color to a piercing amber color. The combined colors then reemerged and grew brighter and in one cataclysmic shove inward, Harry saw two symbols appear above his abdomen.
The first symbol was a heart with a harpoon style point, but it was black and outlined in a red color with a red 'X' over lapping the front and it had thorns on it . Harry heard a word when he looked at the symbol and it was 'Heartless'. Harry was then flooded with information on the Heartless. The different types of creatures from the lowliest shadow to the highest, which was a dark figure called Ansem, Seeker of Darkness.
Harry looked at the second symbol which was a grey/silver symbol with black trim that had a throwing star melded to an upside down half heart that had its point missing. Another word came to mind and it was 'Nobody'. Harry then got flooded with information on the Nobodies. The different creatures from the lowliest Dusk to the highest, which was a creature called, The World of Nothingness. But not only that, the information also included a secondary level which was on the shadowy Organization XIII along with names, and attributes that they used.
As Harry watched the symbols bubbled and turned into two bubbling balls that for an instant hung in the air before rapidly flying towards each other and melding together, twisting and shifting before creating a new symbol in place of the two others. This new symbol was like the symbol for the Nobodies except it was black with silver trim and had the Heartless red thorny 'X' crossing the half heart at the bottom. Harry was flooded with knowledge on how to merge the two existing lines of creatures into something new and more powerful, a Neo Heartbody. Taking the strengths of both races and meshing them together.
The symbol stayed for a few more seconds, before it vanished into mist and slipped outside through Harry's window. The power of his inheritance took hold for a second time, this time showing Harry the view of the house from the yard and as Harry watched, the mist swept to the roof of number four, and coalesced into the Neo Heartbody symbol Harry saw in his room. Harry watched as the symbol grew taller and taller until it finally stopped at what Harry guessed was twenty to thirty feet in height.
The symbol lit up the sky so brightly that it could be seen all the way from Hogwarts but to the professors it was as if a white light had dawned on the edge of the horizon.
