Chapter II: I'm Sorry But What Now?

"I am your Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandfather or you can just call me Ezio." Said Ezio.

Whatever Harry was expecting it certainly wasn't that."W-w-what?" Harry managed to sputter out with a stunned and surprised look on his face.

Ezio however simply chuckled." Yes Harry you are my descendant, you are the heir to a creed, a creed that you are going to restart."

Harry being completely dumbfounded just stared and after a Couple minutes he recovered. Shaking his head as if to clear thoughts he said suspiciously, "How do I know you aren't one of Voldemort's illusions to draw me into a trap?"

Ezio just laughed a deep hearty laugh and replied. "Well I've been watching over you for all your life so you can ask me anything. And the reason you haven't seen me before is this was the first time I could talk to you face to face."

Harry, still suspicious looked him in the eye and asked, "How did I get the philosopher's stone?" He asked this particular question because only he and Dumbledore truly knew.

"Ah good question, always good to be safe eh!" Said Ezio, "To answer your question you looked into the mirror and could only obtain it if you wanted it only to protect it."

When Ezio answered the first question Harry's wand had already started to fall to his side and by the end it was by his side. Just then Harry realized that he had his wand. "Well if you're my ancestor tell me this why do I have my wand in a dream?"

"Ah I was wondering when you would ask, we aren't technically in a dream world this is an alternate dimension where the spirits of the dead and living can meet it was created by the great wizard Merlin you will also get to meet him later. As such your actual body is here right now along with your clothes and possessions."

"Alright, I think I get it. But what is this Creed you were talking about? Harry asked.

"Well I know it as the assassins' creed and since you are in my line of descendants you are a natural born assassin your mother and father both were but your mother is my descendant. Said Ezio

"Wait," Harry said "You want me to be an assassin? I can't just assassinate people it just isn't right!

"It depends on if they deserve it or not. Also training you in the ways of the assassin will teach you to have even faster reflexes than your current ones and you will be able to protect your friends." Ezio stated convincingly.

Harry wasn't originally planning on accepting his offer but after a bit of consideration he decided that it would be useful to know how to kill. "Alright fine I'll do it but I won't kill anybody unless they deserve it." Harry said.

"Perfect!" And right on time too when you wake up simply go to Borgin and Burkes and tell the teller `I am Ezio's heir.' Then he will give you a raiment of armor just like mine. Oh and talk to Daphne Greengrass she is an assassin too."

And with that sentence Harry was taken back to reality in a way that looked like it was sucking him back to earth.

When Harry awoke the next morning his eyes snapped open and he jumped out of bed looking around for Ezio he remembered that it was a dream. "Ah well I guess I had better get to Borgin and Burkes." Let's see what weapons I get." Harry thought with a slightly Slytherin grin.

As Harry stepped into the small shabby looking shop Borgin dropped the silver hand he was carrying at the sight of Harry Potter in Knockturn Alley. As Borgin picked the silver hand back up Harry simply stated, "I am Ezio's heir." When Harry said this Borgin dropped the silver hand again and It landed on his foot but he didn't notice he was too busy staring in awe at the boy in front of him but soon that awe turned into suspicion. "Do you expect me to believe that YOU are an assassin?" Borgin Sighed. "Give me a sample of your blood on this parchment and it will tell if you are a descendant.

Harry strode forward pulled out his pocket knife and pricked his finger with it. He allowed the blood to drip onto the parchment and the words "The One True Heir" appeared. "Well I think that proves it." Said Harry in a confident voice.

Borgin led him into a back room where he chanted Porta aperta per l'erede. At these words the bookshelf fell into the ground and the wall split apart revealing a giant room with a hundreds of mannequins all with a raiment on them. The right wall was completely covered in swords, knives, bows, guns, bombs, and many other things. On the left wall there were hundreds of portraits of the previous assassin leaders. Through the glass window there were 3 rooms the first had an arena the second room had training dummies galore and the third and final room there were 5 at least 10 bunk beds for resting assassins. Harry looked at all of these things with an uncontained awe.

"Used to be the old base for the assassins in London, your ancestor Ezio made it during his life time." Said Borgin breaking Harry out of his reverie. "Well go on grab a raiment and all your weapons.

At this point Harry felt a bit awkward. "Um I don't know what I need." Harry stated more than a little embarrassed.

"Oh yes your parents weren't around to tell you. Here let me show you." Harry spent the next hour grabbing all the various gear he wanted finally he was ready. He put on his raiment put up his hood and walked out of the store a half hearted salute to Borgin.

Apparently his outfit was quite intimidating because ad he walked through Knockturn with his white hood up and his multiple swords strapped to his waist everybody shied away from him and didn't dare take a second glance.

Harry Checked his watch "3:00," he muttered to himself "well may as well do my shopping for Hogwarts this year." Harry considered not going to Hogwarts but decided he would put up with the old man's meddling so that he could learn more magic. As he was walking something he saw in one of the windows caught his eye.

Most of Weasley Family Killed In Tragic House Fire

By: Darren Brown

In a tragic incident last night at around 12:32 A.M. the home of the Weasley family burned to the ground. Most of the family including the head of House Weasley; Arthur Weasley was killed. The surviving heirs to the family Fred and George Weasley owners of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes are set to inherit the titles and land. Was this a tragedy or was it the work of Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. There was no dark mark above the house but they could have intended that. More information will be written as it becomes available

Harry felt sick to his stomach. Almost all the Weasley family was gone. A single tear trickled down his cheek. 'NO' he thought to himself 'I have to be strong and avenge Ron, Ginny, and the entire Weasley family.'

In that moment he heard that sound that can only be heard when something bad is about to happen. He heard a *CRACK* and a scream. Dreading what he was about to see he turned around and saw Voldemort surrounded by his Death Eaters striding towards Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Harry wanting to defend the last of his friend's family charged and dodged a stunner. It impacted a window behind him and shattered it. The battle had begun.
