INHERITANCE

Harry was sitting on the sofa of Grimmauld Place with his head on Ginny's laps. She was reading Quibbler and was stoking his hair with her other hand. He really loved these gentle affections that Ginny showed.

He checked his watch. It was fifteen minutes to twelve. Then he would become 18. Though he was a legal adult, he hasd not gone through his inheritance. Dumbledore had told him that sometimes people would undergo late inheritances and there was nothing to be worried of. He was still scared about his inheritance part. He had heard that going through creature inheritance is the most difficult and painful of all and he couldn't help but think about it.

He got up and placed a small kiss on Ginny's lips. The same kiss that he had given her when he was about to face Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest. A kiss that ensured everything was well and safe. Ginny gave him her sweet smile but he knew that behind her smile, she had masked her worries. She gave him a sweet hug and squeezed his hand, a sweet gesture that the had developed in the last few years. Ron Weasley was sitting on the loveseat with Hermione Granger who was busy in her reading. When Harry got up, she gave him a bone crushing hug, one that you would receive from either Hermione or Molly Weasley. Ron gave him a pat on his back and he gave him a nod.

Grimmauld Place was busy than usual. All the Weasley's except Fred, Andromeda Tonks and Teddy Lupin were staying there as well as Minerva McGonagall and Poppy Pomfrey.
The two ladies were there to make sure that Harry would be okay when he goes through his inheritance.

Harry climbed the stairs and made it to Teddy's room. Teddy was sleeping peacefully in his crib. He placed a small kiss on the infant's forehead and ascended downstairs. He checked his watch, ten minutes to twelve.

"I think its time for me to get ready. ", he said.

Everyone turned their attention towards him and headed towards their respective works.

"Let's go upstairs. We need to get you in bed before midnight. " said Minerva.

"Why can't I stay with him? He is like a son to me. ", said Molly.

"Because we don't know how he is going to be affected. Now Molly, we have talked about this many times. I am the one who was exposed to these than you lot. So I have more experience in it. Poppy is needed because we don't know what will happen when he goes through this".

"Come on its getting late. Only five more minutes", Harry informs them.

"Andromeda, ward Teddy's room. I will ward Harry's room. Arthur ward this house. We don't want magic to exposed to the muggle world. Harry, lead the way", said Minerva.

Harry lied on his bed and Minerva warded the room with strong spells. Poppy had gotten everything that was necessary including some muggle medicines. Minerva placed a strong spell on the room and warded it. Harry was lying on his bed trying to get some sleep as it was very necessary. He closed his eyes and dreamed about his future life with Ginny, his kids, his family.

The grand antique clock on the living room struck twelve. It was one of the things that Harry had brought after the war. He wanted his home to be the perfect mix of magical and non-magical.

Harry started glow very brightly and then started screaming. He was thrashing on his bed and then shifted to three different animals. Minerva and Poppy watched the young man in awe. When it was five past twelve, Harry started screaming very loudly than the normal. At that time, Ginny who was lying on the sofa, also started screaming. Inside the room, Harry was wrapped in a bright white light emitting strong magic and outside, Ginny was also covered in the same bright light.

"What is this Arthur? ", asks Molly.

"I don't know. We will find it out sooner. ", Arthur replies her.

When these two were wrapped in magic and screaming for life, another young man, in France, also went through the same pain at the same time.
