Welcome to the Re-Write of my story "The Heir of Voldemort" or should I call it the re-re-write (lol)

As before all Harry Potter characters and locations are the property of JK Rowling... not me! also this is not canon compliant, if you want canon I suggest that you read the original JKR Books.

The main part of this story starts in Harry's son James' fourth year, unlike canon James has a twin sister who is ironically named Rose, he still has a younger brother named Albus and a daughter named Lily... but unlike in canon Albus' middle name is not Severus as if it was me i would never name a child after a man who had bullied me throughout school for the petty reason of hating my father, even though Snape was redeemed in the end, I would maybe show a bit of respect for the man but that would be as far as i go, therefore Albus has no middle name.

The other main difference is the adult pairings, in my new version of this story the pairings are as follows...

Harry P/Hermione G

Ron W/Lavender B

Neville L/Susan Bones

Luna L/Ginny W

I hope you enjoy the new version...

CHAPTER ONE

It had been three weeks… Three weeks since the Battle that ended the Second Blood War with the Dark Lord Voldemort, there had been tears, there had been laughter and there had been a lot of searching for answers, the most pressing for seventeen year old Harry James Potter was 'What now?'

It was this question that was continuously going through Harry's mind as he found himself in front of a large audience at the Ministry of Magic building, he was tired and emotionally drained from the last year searching the country for Voldemort's Horcruxes, which destroying eventually caused the Dark Lord's defeat and whilst everyone in the wizarding world had turned out to see their savior the teenager who had stood up to the most powerful Dark Lord ever and had defeated him, Harry himself just wanted to stay alone for a while to recover and come to terms with what had happened.

It had been a hectic few weeks for all three members of the fabled 'Golden Trio' Harry and his two best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. After they had sufficiently recovered physically from the battle which had destroyed large parts of Hogwarts castle they had offers for interviews and public appearances coming by the thousands but all three had agreed…even Ron to Hermione's surprise that they needed a little time to come to terms with what had happened this last year, but the interim Minister of Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt had asked for one appearance by the trio at the Ministry not to garner their support but to allow the wizarding world to thank them for all they had done.

So this is how we found our heroes all stood impassively behind the Minister as he addressed the crowd Harry stood in the middle with Ron and Hermione either side of him and for a moment he allowed peace to wash over him and he sighed, thankful that he still had his 'Uncle' Remus and 'Aunt' Tonks to turn to for help and advice.

Harry was unsure what he wanted to do now, he had decided however to go back to Hogwarts and finish his last year, after that he didn't know what he would do, if you had asked him during his fifth year of school he would have said that he would like to be an Auror, hell that was still the case up until a month ago but after the battle he needed to sort out his priorities and being an auror wasn't at the top of the list. Still he would discuss all this with Hermione later, for now he just needed to get through this.

As he regained some semblance of clarity he vaguely heard the Minister talking about restructure and hoped that meant a complete overhaul of the Ministry, who they employed and why they were employed and with a sly grin he hoped that the issue of blood-status would be eradicated, he was interrupted however by Hermione nudging him in the ribs signalling that the Minister was preparing to introduce him.

"So ladies and gentlemen of the wizarding world, it is with great pleasure that I must announce that all participants who participated in the defence of Hogwarts School from Voldemort and his Death Eaters will receive the Order of Merlin Second Class for Bravery and Valour." The crowd erupted into warm applause at this which caused a small smile to break out on Harry's face, the first true smile since the battle.

"Additionally it gives me greater pleasure to announce that Order of Merlin's First Class for Bravery and Valour under the most intense of circumstances will be awarded first to Mr Ronald Bilius Weasley." The Minister said although a little shocking it came as no surprise to Harry although Ron did seem a little stunned as he approached the podium shaking hands nervously with the Minister as he presented the award and Harry seemed to know what was going on as Ron walked back to his position as the Minister returned his stance to the front.

"Secondly; Miss Hermione Jane Granger." The Minister announced and Harry couldn't help but beam at his best friend as she glided up to the podium her smile illuminating the room and Harry promised himself to get a copy of the picture so he could show Hermione's parents when he saw them again.

"And thirdly Mr Harry James Potter." The Minister said and the whole audience burst into applause, cheers, wolf-whistles and it overwhelmed Harry who after receiving the prize needed a few moments to compose himself before addressing the crowd.

"Ladies and Gentlemen." Harry said eventually trying to compose himself to convey his thoughts to leave little for interpretation.

"The last three years have been a tough time for us all, the last year as tough as we have had to face for a long time, however for true victory to be obtained change MUST occur, no longer can we stand by and watch as other magical beings are persecuted for who or what they are.

Whether Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle Born Witch or Wizard, Goblin, Centaur or Elf, we as a community must stand together to prevent another load of cowardly, murdering bigots from destroying all that we love and cherish.

Times have changed and we must change with them, we are about to enter a new millennium and it is time we changed to enter this new millennium along side other magical nations and most importantly the non-magical population, for maybe we have magic but in the end we are all human.

Now spend time with loved ones, reflect and mourn for those lost but remember if things do not change then history will repeat itself and the world we love will cease to exist. Thank you and good luck to you all."

Harry spent the next few days after the speech at the Ministry discussing options for the future with his best friend, Hermione had always told him that she wanted to study law after finishing Hogwarts so she could join the DMLE and try and bring equality to the wizarding world of Britain, but thanks to Harry's speech at the Ministry and the fervour of the new Minister of Magic she quickly saw that she could take more time to think and research her options, maybe trying for a career in Healing or if she felt like a exiting career Curse Breaking or Spell Development.

Harry however was still unsure of what the future held for him, he had been asked by the new Headmistress of Hogwarts for a meeting the following week which strangely only Hermione had been asked to attend.

Harry spent the next week before the meeting at Hogwarts trying to settle his affairs post-war so he could then take some time to properly come to terms with what he had seen and done whilst on the run from Voldemort and try to repair some shaky relationships, to this end Harry found himself stood infront of Ragnock, the chief of the Goblin Nation of Great Britain trying to explain why he and two accomplices broke into their establishment.

"So Mr Potter, I guess you know why you are here?" the surly Goblin asked and Harry was nervous not knowing what would happen next.

"Yes Lord Ragnock." He replied more assuredly than he felt thanks to Hermione's tutoring about Goblin's.

"So why did you break into this bank?" Ragnock said.

"My Lord Ragnock, before I answer will this information be released to the general population." Harry said and the Lord Goblin frowned wondering why this human would ask such as question.

"The knowledge shall be used only to determine your punishment Mr Potter. Unless there is reason to involve anyone else we will not." The Goblin replied with a sneer which Harry accepted.

"I thank you my Lord, what does your nation know of the vile creations known as Horcruxes?" Harry said and Ragnock looked at him with wide eyes.

"What do you know of such evil?" the Goblin gasped in shock and Harry inwardly sighed with relief 'This might just work out' He thought to himself.

"My mission over the last year was to track down and destroy several of these vile devices." Harry started to explain deciding to tell the goblin everything. "The first Horcrux located was a diary belonging to a young Voldemort which I destroyed in my second year at Hogwarts, along with a sixty foot Basilisk.

The second Horcrux located was a ring that passed through the Gaunt family which was destroyed by Dumbledore sometime in the summer after my fifth year.

The third Horcrux located was a locket belonging to Salazar Slytherin that had belonged to Voldemort's mother, this was retrieved from its original hiding place by Regulus Black and his elf Kreacher, who then placed it in the Black ancestral home, and Ronald Weasley destroyed this Horcrux in the Forest of Dean just after the New Year.

The fifth Horcrux located was the Diadem of Rowena Ravenclaw that was hidden at Hogwarts; this was destroyed in the Room of Requirements by the use of Fiendfyre.

The sixth Horcrux located was the snake Nagini; she was beheaded by Neville Longbottom using the sword of Gryffindor. The sixth Horcrux located was me located behind my scar; that Horcrux was destroyed by Voldemort himself by the use of the killing curse.

However it is the fourth Horcrux we located that brings me here today.

That Horcrux was the goblet of Helga Hufflepuff, it was destroyed by Hermione Granger in the Chamber of Secrets the same night Voldemort was defeated.

We had tracked this Horcrux to the vault of Bellatrix Lestrange here at Gringotts, and that is why we broke in, we needed to find and destroy this Horcrux to enable us to finish Voldemort."

After explaining his reasoning Harry was very relived to hear that Ragnock nor the Goblin Nation would pose any serious sanctions on the trio for the break in assuring Harry that destroying the Dark Lord had been very profitable for business however they were fined 500,000 galleons to pay for the damage to the bank and the lost dragon, which at first made Harry a little nervous but after reading the summary of his vaults from not only his parents but Sirius and Dumbledore as well he discovered that he had at least twenty properties all over the world, a whole vault full of heirlooms and a vault filled with over 500 million galleons, not including the 500,000 galleon cash award that he received with his Order of Merlin, which was more than enough to live comfortably for the rest of his and his future children's and probably grand and great grand children's lives.

The only thing that worried him that summer was the disappearance of Voldemort's remains during the clean up at Hogwarts which was one of the reasons Professor McGonagall had requested to see him, that and the fact that she had discovered that Harry had been studying Runes and Arithmancy independently with Hermione's help and Harry had asked before Dumbledore died if he could take the Owl exams in those subjects and then start on the NEWT level the following year, but due to what had happened he didn't get the opportunity to do so, and only after assurances from the Unspeakables at the Department of Mysteries and the Goblins that there was no way Voldemort could return Harry allowed himself to relax and finally enjoy what was ahead.

After Harry had taken the placement exams for Runes and Arithmancy he travelled to Australia with Hermione to retrieve her parents, Ron had decided to stay and help the family recover from the war they returned after a few weeks where they received their letters for the new school year along with Harry's Owl results which were Exceeds Expectations in Runes and to his and Hermione's surprise and Outstanding in Arithmancy and their Head boy/girl badges respectively and with renewed optimism Harry and Hermione returned to Hogwarts to complete their final year and obtain the NEWT's that they wanted.

The final year at Hogwarts was exactly what Harry and Hermione needed, it was filled with fun and laughter mixed with a little sorrow and regret, but all in all especially after their first six years at the school the year passed rather tamely in comparison, their duties as Head Boy and Head Girl kept them relatively busy along with Harry's fervour to try and take his Runes and Arithmancy Newts along with Hermione meant Harry had little time to continue playing Quidditch, however he didn't mind that so much.

The only thing of major note that happened during the year was when Professor McGonagall announced at the welcoming feast that the school would once again hold a Yule Ball, exactly like they had done during the tri-wizard tournament four years previously which came as a welcome surprise for most except for Harry who after the feast and he had done his duties as Head Boy sat in his and Hermione's common room reflecting on whether or not to invite Ginny, Ginny herself probably expected him to take her and it seemed to Harry that she was scowling at any female who would go near him, even Hermione and that greatly annoyed him and at that moment he realised that his priorities had changed during the war, what Ginny had dreaded most had happened he had fallen deeply in love with someone else, not a Veela as she had insinuated at the Burrow during his seventeenth birthday celebrations but for Ginny someone worse, much worse…He asked Hermione…

This made the run-up to the Ball difficult for all at Hogwarts but as soon as the ball had finished things settled down in the castle and Ginny accepted the inevitable something that she truly believed would happen ever since her first year and she saw how close Harry and Hermione were, it still hurt but she quickly settled her differences with the pair and wished them luck for the future.

Harry and Hermione graduated from Hogwarts with high honours, Hermione especially as she broke all Hogwarts records on her NEWT's scoring 'O's on all her subjects with offers from both Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick for apprentiships for masteries in those subjects something that greatly exited her as she had seriously thought about a career in teaching which after some thought she decided to accept Professor Flitwick's offer especially as Minerva had told her that a promising student from America had asked about teaching Transfiguration. Hermione only had one concession to the offer and that was she would not live at the school and instead commute allowing her to re-connect with her parents after the war and to support her boyfriend as he had decided to join the new look ministry as an Auror which Professor McGonagall had agreed with wholeheartedly.

The following few years after their graduation were some of the best of Harry's life, he proposed to Hermione on Valentines Day 2002 and they got married in an impressive ceremony at Harry's ancestral home Potter Manor in June 2003 the best news of all however occurred on the 12th May 2004 when Hermione told her husband that he was to become a father, something Harry had dreamed about for years, and the thought of becoming a real father overwhelmed him and he had a permanent smile on his face even now over two months later.

Harry who was now head of the Auror division of the DMLE left the Ministry exhausted, he had just gave another 'let's remain peaceful' speech this time to the new recruits at the Auror academy, however he didn't notice the woman in the black cloak with the hood over her head as he dissaparated home, the woman however didn't disapparate and on leaving the Ministry she walked into a nearby alley and lowered her hood.

The woman was middle aged, around fifty years old who had a maniacal look about her who called quietly into the darkness.

"Pansy, here quickly", all of a sudden there was a quiet pop and the woman turned to see a much younger girl had appeared in the alley with her.

"Hello Mother" she said.

"Have you obtained what we discussed?" asked the Mother with a greedy longing in her eyes.

"Yes mother." Replied the girl pulling a small bottle with a black liquid in it and passing it to her mother she said "Finally, we have been searching for more of this potion for ages, now that we have this along with the remains of the Dark Lord, our plot to revive the spirit of the Dark Lord can be completed…"

"But HOW?" Pansy asked slightly concerned for her mother's sanity. "I thought that it was impossible to raise the dead. He's dead isn't he?"

"Yes Pansy, the Dark Lord IS dead and there is no magic that can alter that, the plot I have been working on for years is a lot more simple than that. I have been using this potion in your sister's drinks since her pregnancy started one month ago, as long as she takes this for the duration of her pregnancy, her child would not be her's, it would be a new Dark Lord or Lady. It is true that the child would have to grow up, but once it reaches its fifteenth birthday, the ideals and desires of Lord Voldemort would take over. And then we shall have revenge on Potter and all who stood against the Dark Lord, and those that killed your father." Pansy's mother explained which admittedly un-nerved the young woman but she knew that eventually the Purebloods would indeed rule the wizarding world and that was ok with her.

"And what if my sister realises what we are up to?" Pansy asked her mother.

"She won't." The mother replied with an evil smile. "Not until it is too late, we must go, the Aurors will be out in a minute." and with that the two women disappeared, whilst a younger girl emerged from behind a door, absolutely terrified who then said. "Not to my child..." And she to disappeared.

She reappeared in a large village square, looking around she tried to look for clues that would mean she had arrived where she was meant to be.

She started walking towards the outskirts of the village and her eyes were drawn to the half-destroyed house and she then knew she was at the right place, and moving towards the next door neighbours she looked around again to make sure she wasn't followed, knocked on the door and waited.

After a few seconds she heard a voice not coming from the house but the porch way that she was stood in. 'State your intentions' it said clearly there to ward off uninvited guests.

"I'm here to see Harry." she said quietly hoping that by being silent she could avoid detection.

"Identify yourself." The voice asked.

"It's Liz." She said. "And I really need to talk to Harry".

"Identity confirmed you may enter." The voice said for the last time as the door in front swung open.

"Liz, what are you doing here?" Harry asked surprised.

"Hello Harry" she replied. "Are we alone?"

"Yes" Harry said nodding. "Hermione's seeing her parents this weekend and Teddy's with his grandmother, why don't you come in and sit down" Harry gestured towards a small sofa in the far side of the room, and sitting in a chair opposite he started to lean towards her.

"Why are you here Liz, I thought you were with Mike in America?" Harry asked thoughtfully.

"I'm sorry Harry, but Mike is dead!" Liz replied almost in tears. "My Mum had him killed, the Avada Kedavra, I'm so scared." she finished hysterically.

"Dead, I don't believe it, why?" Harry asked clearly stunned by the news.

"Well" Liz started wiping the tears from her eyes. "It started a few weeks ago, mum found out something, something that made her flip out."

"What?" asked Harry now very interested.

"She found out he was muggle-born" Liz said "and worse than that, she found out I was pregnant"

"You're PREGNANT!" Harry said loudly standing up as he did so.

"Yes Harry, pregnant." Liz said tenderly touching her stomach, "but there's more."

"More" asked Harry now really concerned "More than you being pregnant?"

"Yes Harry." Liz said and she then proceeded to tell him about the conversation she had heard between her mother and sister earlier that day and on finishing Harry could tell that she was scared, very scared and he could see why.

"Well that explains something." Harry muttered more to himself but Elizabeth couldn't help but frown at him causing him to reveal what he was thinking, a trait Hermione had gently coaxed out of him.

"About two months after the end of the war, I had a meeting with Minerva at Hogwarts, and she told me that Voldemort's remains had vanished, this explains what happened to them, your mother somehow got hold of them." Harry explained and Elizabeth nodded but still looked nervous. "So what do you want me to do?" Harry asked eventually.

"Help me." Elizabeth pleaded, "Help me save my child."

"Okay Liz, do you want me to issue an arrest warrant for your mother and sister?" Harry asked as he scratched his chin.

"No." Liz said with conviction. "That would tip her off that someone told you, only mother and Pansy know anything about this, I can't risk it." She explained and Harry agreed.

"Your child can't stay in our world, if he or she does it could be disastrous not just for you but for us all." Harry said as Elizabeth just nodded.

"Just before the child is born and you should know by then whether it will be a boy or a girl, go to one of the London City Orphanages, there is one for boys and another for girls, I am friendly with the matron's there, and they are nice people, but in this case do not tell them that I sent you, do not tell them your child is from the magical world as any knowledge of this may put your child at risk, when the child is old enough Hogwarts will send for them, and then they will be able to decide whether or not to seek you out, but until then you need to disappear…Do you understand?" he asked her

"Yes Harry, and thanks" she replied getting to her feet.

And as they returned to the Hall and Elizabeth left Harry watched her disapparate at the gates and he finally said before closing the door.

"Good luck, Elizabeth Parkinson."
