Now, will the AN work this time… I wonder… Last time it cut off about half of it. VEEEERY annoying. So I will now post what I intended to be the AN for chapter 1.

Hello people! This is my newest fic. It's called Heirs, as you already know. Here is the summery:

Manipulative Dumbledore. Dumbledore is slowly trying to take over Hogwarts. The school doesn't like this so she chooses four students to protect her. One from each house. As time begins to run out the four must learn skills quickly to fight the headmaster and his evil plans for school domination.

This will include:

-OC's

(I think that's right? Characters that aren't from J K Rowling story)

- Evil Dumbledore

-Main character death (not for ages though)

- Animagus forms (sorry if no one likes this but I'm not cutting it out, I spent ages choosing animals to match personalities / background stories / looks etc.)

I can't think of anymore. I'll tell you if I do.

Oh, the 'heirs' of the founders will not be Ron or Hermione.

Ummmmmmmmmm, thank you to my beta Zoe, and the help of my friend Kelly, who told me what to edit.

Oh, and this is an introduction type chapter, just introducing the characters. It will get more exciting. It just needed this chapter for you to understand the personalities of my characters. The POV's are of the heirs who all have their own story. Although Branwen and Katherine have similar stories to begin with this will quickly change. I think it will be on chapter 2 or 3 actually.

Enjoy!

THAT WAS didn't let me put it… arggg… anyway. I wanted to tell you that that this chapter is short but the next will be a massive one. It's already massive and with a load packed in and I've only done Katherine and Branwen's POV's!

And so, like my previous self said…

ENJOY!

Heirs

Chapter 2

"What's happened?"

"McGonagall, she fell down the stairs"

"Fell down? I thought she was pushed"

"Who would want to push McGonagall down the stairs?"

"I bet it was a Slytherin!"

Branwen looked on as Minerva McGonagall was levitated to St. Mungos. She had been pushed down the stairs, by the looks of it, as she still needed her walking stick from when Umbridge had injured her last year, falling down the stairs hadn't been the best thing for her condition.

Looking straight ahead Branwen saw Dumbledore, she had always wondered if there was a little romance going on between those two, McGonagall and Dumbledore, but what she saw was shocking.

Katherine nearly gasped as Dumbledore smirked at the broken looking body of Minerva McGonagall; the smirk graced his lips for a second before sliding back into a look of deepest worry.

At this moment Brock glanced up at the headmaster in seeing his look of worry, felt sorry for the headmaster.

There were rumors going round that some Slytherin pushed McGonagall. But Harry knew that would have been stupid. Most students would have been in class. All they had to do to look for the culprit would have been to find out which students had a free period or were not in class. It would be too easy to find out who did it. If someone pushed her this year's higher security would alert Dumbledore to whoever it was.

The week passed slowly, as the last week of term always did. But finally the Christmas holidays rolled around. Students were happy, finally they were going home.

Harry and Ron stood in the entrance hall saying goodbye to Hermione for Christmas. She had decided to spend this Christmas with her family.

"Have a great Christmas Hermione" said Harry drawing away from a hug.

"Yeah, have a nice time" Ron said.

Hermione wrapped her arms around him and he froze but eventually his face broke out in a beaming smile. As she drew away he still had that goofy grin plastered on his face.

"See you in two weeks" she yelled as she sprinted down the hill towards Hogsmeade station. Harry smirked at the grin still stuck on Ron's face.

"Have a great Christmas!" Branwen yelled to Jessica as she sprinted down the stairs in the Ravenclaw Common Room she had been halfway down the main staircase when she'd remembered that she'd forgotten her Defense Against the Dark Arts book, how she managed to do that when she'd been panicking about that massive essay on Dementors that she had to do (in the lesson Jess had decided to switch off and had no learnt anything besides how interesting the chalk board looked when you stared at it for an hour).

"See ya!" Jess yelled as she flew across the room, knocking over chairs and books in her attempt not to miss the train.

"Come on Sophie, we're going to miss the train!" Brock yelled furiously at his snowy owl, Sophie, who didn't want to leave her boyfriend, an insane owl that clearly had a problem and was believed to be owned by Ron Weasley of Gryffindor and called Pig.

Katherine flicked through a book on potions; she needed to find some information on Veritaserum.

Snape had set another ridiculously long and difficult essay although her parents could help her on it. Her mother had to learn how to fight Veritaserum to do her job for the Dark Lord. Snape was bad at setting homework and teaching unless you already knew the basics of potion making but made up for it in his hatred of Gryffindors and his being a Death Eater.

She smirked as some girl and boy flew into the station and threw themselves on board a moment before the train began to leave.
