Chapter 8: The Royal and Arcane House of Pendragon (Part 2)

November 8, 1994

Friday

Time: 10: 14 a.m.

In the last Chapter

At that moment an innocent First Year Hufflepuff, voiced his question, "What is hentai?" Another round of laughter went among the muggleborns. Arthur deciding to wrap up that particular discussion for once and for all, snapped his two fingers and the Hall became magically silent once more. He looked at the Hufflepuff boy and said, "Kid, someday you will learn it by your own."

The Hall would have broken into another set of laughter, had Arthur not prevented it using his magic.

"So...where were we?...yes, Arthur and Artemis met, later, they reached Athenopolis where Arthur again find his friends. Then together, they, went to the Court of King Zeus Olympia the Fourth of Royal and Arcane House of Olympia..."

The eyes of many purebloods widened. Arthur nodded at their understanding, "...yes the very same Royal and Arcane House of Olympia of the Ten Master Clans...where in weird twist and turn of events, they find out that Arthur Pendragon and Artemis Olympia share a Soul Bond..."

Everyone looked shocked, "...and long story short, they got engaged, and being the future son-in-law of King Zeus the Fourth, he was promised that Royal and Arcane House of Olympia would help Arthur's endeavor of reclaiming the throne of Camelot...So with that, Artemis Olympia agreed to be a part of their journey..."

At that time Colin Creevey, the Third Year Gryffindor raised his concern, "Did King Zeus really that easily accepted Arthur Pendragon the First as his future son-in-law?" Arthur gave Colin a saucy grin and said, "You truly expect that?"

"Umm...ah..."Colin could not form a proper answer.

Arthur continued, "He did not truly like accept it at first, but the fact it was a soul bond, an Act of God incident, forced him to. Other than that, a great amount of politicking was required...perhaps, I will tell you that story some other day...now..." He once again continued.

"So after, two years of extensive travelling and garnering extensive magical knowledge, Arthur and his Company, finally set sail for Albion. They boarded a ship, from the port city of Brest from Frankia. But luck was not very much in favour for them that day, perhaps the day was Friday, 13..." Many of the Pendragon Grand Family members chuckled at this, "What could have been just a two-day long journey, turned out to be a half-a-month long torture because of one single thunderstorm. So, instead of reaching Albion, they docked at weird deserted island like place called Hibernia, which is none but present day Ireland. Travelling in Hibernia, for some weeks, they found a large mansion like house, where lived a young girl around the age of seventeen. She lived all alone, absorbed in books and research on magic. She was a Sorceress."

"Seeing, a girl along with mansion, all alone, truly intrigued them. So questioning her, they got to know her background, you know...usual fairytale kind of story...cursed by some sort of Evil Witch...could not leave the island...etc. etc. So, once again, long story short, this time Godric Gryffindor challenged the witch on a one-on-one battle, defeated him, while others somehow managed to break curse, in the end, the girl, tired of living alone for last ten years, decided to join the group. Well, another part of the reason was that she developed a kind of secret crush on Godric. I hope you all have understood by this time she was none other than Rowena Ravenclaw." Many students nodded affirmatively.

Then Arthur extended his right arm and with simple flick of his hand, conjured several chairs. He said to the other members of the group and Harry and Susan, "Sit, from here the story will get more interesting..." Saying that, he conjured a chair for himself, and sat down.

"Now, our group of powerful magicians, have finally landed Albion. Arthur Pendragon the First himself was quite apprehensive. From, the northern most tip, of Hibernia, a boat had carried them to the northern portion of Albion called, Caledonia, currently, that place is known as Scotland. After travelling, for a few weeks, they finally managed to find a small muggle village. There they managed to find what had happened, the previous two years in the Kingdom of Uther Pendragon. They learnt, that since Merlin and Morgana had escaped, Uther had once again started the second Great Purge, which caused the death of numerous people who were accused of sorcery."

"Till that time, Arthur Pendragon, had no real motivation to retake the throne of Camelot. But the moment, he heard and understood the sufferings of the fellow magicals of Albion, he took a firm resolve, to end the tyrant King's rule for once and for all."

"Arthur knew that to win the war against Uther and his army of twenty thousand men, he needed allies. So what was better than to recruit the Druids, wizards and other Sorcerers and also other sentient magical creatures who always were in a state of fear of prosecution by the Knights of Uther. So, after months of preparations, Arthur managed to gather an army of 2000 sorcerers, 700 wizards and witches. In one of the mountains of Caledonia, lived a colony of goblins. Goblins were believed to have fled Albion, during the First Great Purge, but actually went into hiding in the Northern Mountains. In this endeavor Arthur, the Goblin Leader, King Gringott the First himself pledged the allegiance of the Goblin Nation. They created the most durable weapons and armour for Arthur Pendragon's army of magical laced with special Goblin magic. Although Uther's army outnumbered that of Arthur's army in the ratio 10:1, but what Arthur had, even if Uther wanted, he could never have: magic. His army was filled with magical users, who could kill the enemy even if they were away from them by at least fifty metres. They could even block the incoming arrows, with their shield charms. Uther Pendragon's army might have been the largest by number, almost ready to go at war with Uther..."

"...but he needed another weapon. A tactical weapon that Uther had, that could prove to be the gamechanger of the entire war. The weapon was none other than the Great Dragon, Kilgharrah." All the occupants of the Great Hall were listening in stunned silence. "So..." Arthur continued, "Arthur Pendragon decided to launch a mission that was headed by himself, to rescue the Great Dragon. In this rescue operation, not only would he save the Dragon, but also scale the city of Camelot. Merlin knew almost every nook and crook of Camelot so joined Arthur's team. Godric was a skilled fighter so he decided to accompany them. And Salazar was a smooth talker and had the Gift of Gab. He had managed them to save them various perilous situations using his silver tongue. So these three decided to be the rescue team."

"After arriving at Camelot, they split into two teams, Merlin and Godric would infiltrate the castle and secure the way towards the cave beneath the Camelot where the Dragon Kilgharrah was located, while, the entire time Arthur and Salazar would scale the city. While touring the city, Arthur and Salazar found themselves, in the centre of the city, where there was going to be the execution of a wizard accused of High Treason against the Crown. But Arthur could not stand it..."

Moments before the execution at Camelot

Arthur I Pendragon POV:

Blast it! I cannot tolerate this anymore! To see the boy just 15 years old, die in front of me, no way will I tolerate this! Salazar spoke at this time, "Arthur don't do what you are thinking! Our entire plan can get wasted!" Not listening to Salazar advice, extending my arm in the executioner's direction, I shouted, "Vocatum Ignis!" a huge tendril of fire arose from my hand and hit the executioner who was just moments away from beheading the boy. He was set on fire. A huge pandemonium arose in the crowd. Salazar and I darted through the crowd, blasting them, away from the path. Reaching the boy, with one snap of fingers untied the ropes that fastened his hand. He had a look filled with horror, fear, awe and relief.

Shakingly he asked, "Who..who are you?"

"Arthur Pendragon" I quickly replied without even thinking. "WHAT!" the boy shouted. I shook my head, and replied, "No time to explain, just come with me..."

He nodded, and grabbed a bag, that might have belonged to him, "Okay lets go..." he nodded, and we sprinted in the direction of Pendragon Castle. I heard Salazar swear, "Shit! Plan ruined, even before it began..."

"...so in this way Arthur Pendragon saved the life of that boy..." Arthur Pendragon the First concluded.

"But what is his name?" A second year Slytherin asked. Arthur with a wide grin said, "Let us hide that boy's name for the time being in order to create suspense. What's a story without a little thrill or suspense, eh?" Many raised their eyebrows at this but did not ask anything further. Arthur said, "Well for convenience, let's call him 'P' after his surname. But even before you all start thinking that his surname was 'Potter', let me clarify that no. The boy was not a Potter." Many had deflated reactions to it, including Harry and Susan.

Arthur continued, "Now all four of them infiltrate the Pendragon Castle together, as Salazar had rightly said, 'Plan ruined, even before it began'..." Many chuckled at this, "...So, all four managed to somehow enter the cave where the Great Dragon Kilgharrah was located and managed to free him from his shackles. They would have had blasted the ceiling of the cave and have had made an escape, but at that time Uther, Asther, Gaius and a hundred other Knights of Camelot entered.

The moment Uther's eyes fell on Arthur dread filled him completely. So was the reaction of Gaius. While the other Knights and Prince Asther had a look full of shock and astonishment. They had a little stand off together at that time..."

Stand Off between Arthur I Pendragon and Uther Pendragon

Third POV:

A pin drop silence was present in the cave. Everyone had a look of astonishment and disbelief. Everyone was looking at the duplicate copy of Price Arthur (Asther) Pendragon. Nobody noticed Merlin creeping out discreetly and bring Gaius silently on his side.

The true Arthur Pendragon decided to break the silence. He said, "Hello Father."

Uther stuttered, "Ar-Arthur?" Arthur Pendragon, took a deep bow and then with a tone of mockery said, "At, your service, Your Majesty..." Uther, breaking from his stupor barked, "Guards! Seize them!" The Knights of Camelot, did not even get the time to make any sort of motion, as a huge wave of magic knocked them unconscious. At that Asther spoke in a shaky voice, "Who are you?" Arthur tilted his head, "Why Asther, don't even know about your elder twin? Hasn't Father ever told you?" He turned at Uther.

Stuttering Uther spoke up, "If you want the throne then-" Arthur gave a dry laugh, "Throne? Seriously? You think that's my primary concern? It's my tertiary concern!"

Uther gaining a bit of confidence raised his voice, "Then what do you mean?"

"Two things." Arthur said motioning with his two fingers. "Name them" Uther spat.

"One, acceptance of magic throughout Albion, and peaceful coexistence of the magicals and non-magicals." Anger crept into Uther's mind, but before he could say anything, Arthur said, "and...complete annihilation of The Royal House of Pendragon."

Asther drawing his sword said, "You bastard I will kill-" before he could finish, a wave of magic blasted him into the nearby wall. Another wave of magic basted away the ceiling of the cave through which sunlight entered the first time. Uther remained in the same position flabbergasted.

Arthur mounted the Great Dragon and then gave a parting reply, "I, Arthur Pendragon the First of My Name, of the Royal and Arcane House of Pendragon, on behalf of the entire Magical Beings of Albion, declare war against the Kingdom of Camelot and the the Royal House of Camelot for mass genocide of magical creatures and other beings of our realm. Prepare for War, Uther Pendragon, because we are not going to have any mercy on you and your kind..." With that the Great Dragon Kilgharrah, took off and soared high in the sky...

"...with that Arthur, Merlin, Salazar along with Gaius and the boy 'P' left Camelot in style..." Arthur chuckled.

"But, unknowingly, he got two wildcards that day. One the dragon Kilgharrah, another, the boy 'P'"

Many had a surprised look including the purebloods, as the remaining part of the story was not a pretty common knowledge even among the Old families. Then someone asked from the student community, "How come the boy was a wild card?"

Arthur looked at the ceiling for some time, contemplating something, and then said, "The boy had three very powerful magical objects. Three of the ten most sought artefacts through the magical world. Any ideas?" He waited for a reply but none came.

Finally he replied, "A certain wand, a stone, and a cloak."

The muggleborns had a look of confusion, not understanding any of the implications, but the purebloods and the half-bloods, who were raised in the wizarding world, gasped, or rather shrieked very loudly in astonishment, teachers and students alike, understanding what Arthur was trying to say. Albus Dumbledore looked like a gaping fish out of water. 'Hmm...Interesting', Arthur thought glancing at the gaping Dumbledore.

Daphne Greengrass, with a shaky voice said, "He...he had those? He was the...the Master of-" Arthur gave her and other magical-raised a sharp glare that conveyed the message 'No discussion on that topic.'

Arthur, not willing to delve in that particular topic, continued, "The boy 'P' later told Arthur of his story, how he had two more elder brothers, but were killed later in an Anti-magic mob encounter, and then he had the wand of his eldest brother, and stone of the second brother as the only remaining memoirs. Arthur Pendragon's heart was filled with extreme grief for the boy, and immediately gave a place in their Family."

Then Arthur stood up and said, "Now time comes for War."

Everyone shifted a bit in their places. No doubt everyone was entranced by the story.

"Uther Pendragon had a conference with the other neighbouring Kingdoms and told them how the magicals were uprising against their kingdoms. So a coalition army of Five Kingdoms (Camelot, Essetir, Mercia, Caerleon, Gawant and Lot) formed of total 110000 soldiers, cavalry and archers. Uther was the head of the coalition. When the fact that Uther himself ordered the death of his eldest became public knowledge, it caused quite a commotion. But Uther, being a cunning politician, soon used that news to his gain, and used that fact to buy the sympathy of the staunch Anti-magic extremists. Now, Arthur's army consisted only 5000 personnel. Greatly outnumbered to Uther's coalition army in 22:1 ratio. But that was not a hindrance for Arthur, because he had magic at his disposal. And to the Uther and other magical haters' great embarrassment, one by one, each one of their army fell in front of the Arcanic forces of the magic users. Arthur Pendragon had conquered four out of the five Kingdoms of Albion, from Caerleon (Manchester) in the north till the Essetir in South. Only Camelot was still standing then."

"Camelot was only the thorn remaining between Arthur and his dream Albion unification. In this final war, Arthur faced the largest army of his life at once, 80000 personnel. But Arthur also had tricks up his sleeve. He, along with his other family members, had been developing a very powerful magic. World's first Strategic-Class Magic : Fiendfyre." The eyes of the purebloods widened astronomically once again. Although they did not know nor care much to know what happens outside Britain, but they very clearly know what exactly a Strategic Class Magic is, and the level of destruction it can cause. Every pureblood students were supposed to know what had happened, 36 years ago, that changed the entire magical world order...

"In the last battle, he rode Kilgharrah, above the enemy lines, and cast Fiendfyre and within a matter of few minutes, entire army of Uther Pendragon was completely obliterated. But the army of Arthur had absolutely zero casualties that day. So, that way the Arthur Pendragon and his army won the war, as the modern-day magical historians term it as 'First War of Magical Independence' because the Battle of Camelot, was the first kind of war, where the Magicals, not caring about their race, blood type, gender, or any other distinguishable features, fought together, united as one, for the Cause. Surely they were greatly outnumbered, but each were magically powerful enough, to take down hundred enemies at once."

"So, after the war, Arthur first changed the changed the name of the place from Albion to Britannia (as the name Albion was a constant reminder for everyone of the witch huntings of Uther Pendragon)and since then began the glorious journey of the Royal and Arcane House of Pendragon...and now I will accept your questions, you can raise your hands..." Almost everyone raised their hand, "...but..." Many looked a bit uncertain, "...I will not answer any question pertaining to the identity of the person 'P' or how House Potter is the part of the Grand Family of Pendragon..." Many looked deflated and raised their hands down.

At that time, Hermione Granger raising her hand asked a valid question, "What happened after the war?" Arthur nodded, "Arthur and Artemis get married and Arthur crowns himself as the King of Britannia. King Arthur and Queen Artemis Pendragons rule the Kingdom together. They had four kids, two boys, Aether, John, and two girls, Freya and Charlotte. After ruling for forty years, King Arthur decided to step down, and let his eldest son, Prince Aether the First, become the King. During his reign, King Arthur had also given the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and the Blackwoods, Noble status."

"Merlin and Morgana also get married and have four kids, two boys Arawn and Morgan, and two girls, Anne and Marilyn. Arawn continues the line of Emrys and Morgan continues the line of Le Fay. Godric falls in love with Rowena, eventually they get married, and have two children. Godric named, his first son Arthur (out of respect for his Arthur Pendragon the First, whom he considered his elder brother) and second son Alexander. Arthur continues to carry the Gryffindor name, while Alexander continues the Ravenclaw name. Salazar and Helga, had fallen in love with each other long time ago, married and had five kids. Salestine who continued the Slytherin line. The other four were two boys Antionich, Aurum, and two girls, Wilhelmine and Estella. Together, they all formed the Grand Family of Pendragon"

"While Arthur and his friends, although he considered them his family since the very beginning, were journeying throughout Europe, the Blackwood couple gave birth to a set of twins, Rigel and Vega, who later formed one of the most important Houses of wizarding Britain. Can anyone guess?" Many of them blindly started guessing 'McKinnon, Fawley, Farley', some even said, 'Potter' but all were incorrect. Arthur shook his head, "The Blacks." Many gasped. The darker families of Great Britain, especially, had a gobsmacked expression.

Harry was very much surprised at the news. The family of his godfather, was related to the Pendragons. Indeed an amazing news!

Then someone asked, "What finally happened to Uther, Asther and his mother?"

Arthur replied with a smirk, "Uther had ordered Asther to lead the Battle of Camelot, where he met his demise. After, the war ended, Arthur himself killed Uther. And Ygraine of Bios, though she was innocent in the entire ordeal and never supported Uther's Anti-magic ideology, but since she never tried to control Uther at all, as a wife should do during those times, she was declared partially guilty. Her movements were heavily restricted, she was not allowed to leave her parlour except during."

Then a first year Gryffindor raised his hand and said, "Is the myth of Sword Excalibur also lie?" Most of the muggleborns wanted to know the answer to this particular question.

Arthur gave a grin and retorted, "After this entire story what do you think?" The boy replied, "Umm...I think it was also fabricated..." Arthur cheekily replied, "Then you are incorrect." "Huh?" the boy replied dumbly. The eyes of the other muggleborns lit up, understanding Arthur's implications.

Arthur stood up from his chair and said, "The Myth regarding, King Arthur pulling Excalibur is indeed true. He casted the Fiendfyre using Excalibur after all." But Arthur did not say anything further regarding that matter, so the muggleborns decided to drop the matter.

Then Daphne Greengrass asked an essential question, "I have read that the Grand Family of Pendragon consists of 9 Houses altogether, the Pendragons, the Emrys, the Le Fay, the Gryffindors, the Ravenclaw, the Hufflepuffs, the Slytherins, and two other Houses. What are the other two?"

Arthur smirked internally, 'this girl truly has the qualities of being in the Slytherin House of Hogwarts. Cunningly asking the question, I want to avoid for the time being, overlapped in another question...very cunning...but I was also not born yesterday...'

"Excellent question, Miss Greengrass. I can't expose the name of the House through which, Mr. Potter belongs to the Grand Family of Pendragon-" Arthur noticed her face slightly scowl, so he chuckled, "-But I can surely tell the history, how, after three hundred years of reign of the House of Pendragon, another member got added into the Pendragon Grand Family..."

"In the year 945 C.E. the newly crowned King, after the abdication of the previous ruler Jonathan Pendragon the Second due to his old age, Arthur Pendragon the Third, took over the reigns of the Kingdom of Britannia. The Royal and Arcane House of Pendragon had grown quite big by then. The other Houses of the Grand Family were also thriving. One evening, when Arthur Pendragon the Third, was enjoying his evening tea, he saw a large dragon was flying in the sky..."

Arthur Pendragon the Third POV:

Date: A day in the cold month of November

Time: 5:45 p.m.

'Ah...nothing better than a cup of herbal tea, after a long, tiring day to cure an headache...' the newly crowned 25-year old King, Arthur III Pendragon, sighed internally, sipping the warm herbal tea from his favourite ceramic cup while standing on the terrace of the Pendragon Castle. 'Phew! Who knew being a King was such a tedious job? Tax-evaders, thieves, mobs, petty village problems which the village counsellors can easily solve with the help of self-mediation but NO! Always need the interference of the King! And above all those DAMN Betrothal Contracts I receive daily!' King Arthur Pendragon the Third, whined...err... Kings should not whine...but anyway...

Along with the these petty problems, another problem had recently been the cause of the King's daily headache: Viking invaders.

'DAMN those bloody Vikings from the Kingdom of Norway! Always sending troops after troops and attacking the Northern and Western Coasts. Can't they understand we have no bloody interest to give in to their demands? I have half a mind to send my magical troops and seize their lands then they will have the taste of their own medicine. A couple of doses of Fiendfyre and few overdoses of Dragon fire will teach them a right lesson!' Arthur III Pendragon contemplated saditically.

A cold wind brought penetrated the new King of Britannia the warm dragon-hide coat of Arthur III Pendragon, and brought shivers to his skin. Arthur III thought, 'Perhaps winter will come sooner this year...'

Then he took another sip of his herbal tea and looked up at the cloudy-vermillion sky, only to see a weird view. A large dragon was flying in the sky.

No, the fact that a dragon was flying in the skies of Britannia was not the problem, as it was a pretty common sight. Since, Arthur I Pendragon had claimed the throne of Camelot from the tyrant Uther, the Pendragon Family had been a sponsor of breeding and raising dragons in Britannia. The House of Pendragon had brought many dragons from different corners of Europe, and bred them in Camelot and other parts of. Each member of the Pendragon Family had their own personal dragons. To the world, it may look like the Pendragons were Dragonlords and Dragon tamers (although they technically and practically were), but in reality, the Pendragons did not consider their dragons as their pets, but as their own family members. There was no such thing as slave-master bond between the dragon and their bonded master (even it was called like that) they treated the dragons as their own flesh and blood.

But the peculiar thing was that it looked like as if the dragon was flying in Arthur III Pendragon's direction...

Arthur's eyebrows rose, 'Aiden (Arthur III Pendragon's personal dragon) has returned back after flying hours ago so why a dragon, which is not absolutely not Aiden, is coming in my direction...'

King Arthur Pendragon the Third, quickly unsheathed his goblin-made long sword, Epilogue, as wise men say, prevention better than cure, because rogue dragons harming common village men, is not unheard of...

Unsheathing Epilogue, King Arthur took a fighting stance and encased the blade of his trusted longsword with a blazing amber flame. Arthur was contemplating whether or not to harm the dragon when he heard a cry filled with extreme sorrow and grief and then next words he heard completely froze him, "~Please help me, Great Dragon lord!~"

The Dragon spoke!

The fact that Arthur III Pendragon, could understand the speech of the dragons should not be surprising as all the Pendragons were Dragon lords, and had bonded to their dragons. So they could understand Dragon speech, should also not be surprising.

Then the dragon swiftly landed on the terrace in front of King Arthur III and from his claw released the body a woman. Arthur was momentarily stunned by the arrival of the dragon and could not process what was happening. The loud wail of the dragon broke him from his trance, "~Please help my Mother Dany, Dragon Lord! She is barely alive!~"

King Arthur Pendragon the Third, broke from his stupor and looked at the woman in front of her. She had beautiful curling platinum-blonde hair, braided with locks near her ears. She had a stunning face with an astounding level of beauty Arthur had never seen. She wore a dark dragon-hide coat and in her stomach a dagger was stabbed...

Arthur Pendragon the Third's eyes widened. He quickly kneeled on one knee and touched her neck in search of pulse. For a few seconds he noticed nothing, 'Please be there, Please be there...' he silently prayed. He did not want someone to die at his feet. After some moments, when Arthur had almost gave up any hope, he felt a small pulse. Faint. Very faint pulse, but still it was there. 'Thank goodness! She is still alive, but barely...'

Arthur carefully removed the dagger from the wound, trying not to ooze any blood. But it was futile, the moment Arthur pulled the dagger, huge amount of crimson blood started flowing from her wound. Quickly, not sparing a single moment, Arthur quickly used his magic to seal the wound. Quickly he ran a diagnostic spell, and found she had multi-organ failure! "Shit! She won't survive...unless I..." he quickly placed his right index and right middle finger on the heart of the platinum-blonde haired woman and channeling a huge quantity of magical energy from his own magical core, and poured it into her body, repairing all the organs of her body: brain, lungs, liver, kidney and some more, thus bringing her back to the world of living, directly from the clutches of Death...

After complete healing of the woman in front of her, Arthur III Pendragon was completely exhausted, but not enough to get faint. "Ha...ha...ha..." he took some deep breaths. The Dragon gave a cry of extreme happiness, "~Thank you Milord, for you, my Mother Dany is still alive!~" Arthur gave a small smile at the dragon and said, "~What's your name Great Dragon?" The red-scaled Dragon replied, "~Drogon, Milord~" Then something stirred that again brought Arthur III Pendragon's attention back to the platinum-blonde haired beauty near his feet.

She slowly opened her eyes, and Arthur for the first time was welcomed by the astounding violet eyes of the woman. Her body was still frail, but still managed to ask in a weak voice, "Am..I...al..alive?" Arthur replied, "Yes, dear you are alive and safe..." She took a deep breadth and weakly said, "Thank...thank you...for savin-saving my life..."

Arthur gently replied with a smile, "My pleasure. But can you tell me your name?" The woman took a deep breadth and said weakly, "Daenerys Targaryen, of House of Targaryen, True rulers of the Lands of Westeros...and" she managed to say with a sigh, "...and former Queen of the Westeros..."

'From a Noble family huh?' Arthur thought then he looked at the ring on the ring-finger of her right hand. A signet ring with the sigil of Targaryen Family: A Three-headed Dragon, and neatly on it was engraved the Family motto: Fire and Blood.

King Arthur III Pendragon gently smiled at her and said, "Well, my Queen..." Daenerys blushed a bit, "...you are not well, and its getting darker..." Arthur said, looking at the lowly-hanging sun in the West, "...we should head inside..." She nodded affirmatively. Gently carrying her in bridal style Arthur III Pendragon, headed inside the castle. Before leaving the terrace, Daenerys managed to ask, "And who are you?" The Lord of House Pendragon said with a caring and loving smile, "Arthur Pendragon the Third, Head of the Royal and Arcane House of Pendragon and The King of the Lands of Britannia, at your service Mi Lady..."

Both gave a short laugh before heading inside the castle.

"...so this is how Arthur III Pendragon, saved Daenerys Targaryen..." Lord Arthur VII Pendragon, the Head of the Royal Family of Pendragon concluded.

Many of the girls had dreamy as most of the teenage girls, at this age, dream of being a Damsel in distress and being saved by a Knight in shining armour.

Arthur continued, "Long story short, after Daenerys gets cured and become healthy. Arthur and Daenerys become close to each other. After two years, they led a seize on Westeros, using hundreds of dragons. With such a strong air-superiority, Westeros's ruler, King Brandon Stark, could not resist, and within a matter of hours, Westeros's capital, King's Landing fell, slowly each and every Kingdom of the Seven Kingdoms, fell in front of the invincible Pendragon Air or rather Dragon Force..." Many muggleborns chuckled, understanding the military reference of the muggle world, "...and also on their way to Westeros, Arthur III pendragon led a small attack on Kingdom of Norway, and captured it. Then the two get married and have four kids. Later the Pendragons decided to relocate their seat of power from Britannia to Magical Norway, which renamed it later Avalon..." The eyes of Hogwarts students widened quite a bit. "So...this is how the Pendragons help in the rise of the Targaryen dynasty once more to rule the Lands of Westeros once more, and Targaryen became a part of the Grand Family of Pendragon..." Arthur ended.

The Great Hall became once more silent, entranced by the tale. Then Fourth Year Slytherin, Blaise Zabini asked, "Why the Pendragons decided to leave Britain?"

Arthur sighed and answer, "Two reasons: One, Scenic beauty of entire Scandinavia is damn beautiful, so our ancestors thought, 'Why not a scene change?' and the second reason..." Arthur gave a solemn sigh and said, "...Dimension Crisis..." The eyes of all the students rose a bit. A fifth year Hufflepuff asked, "What's that?" Arthur simply shook his head and said, "Not today...some other day I will talk about that...way to much complicated...but not as complicated as the History of the House Targaryen at least..."

Arthur should not have said the last part, because at that time the curiosity of many Hogwarts students rose. Hermione asked, "What's the history of the Targaryen's?"

The expression of all the members of the Grand Family of Pendragon changed drastically. From, the carefree attitude to an expression filled with dread and despair. Arthur practically shouted, "No way! No way I am going to stand here and tell the entire complicated history of the Targaryen dynasty!"

At that time, a voice attracted Harry's attention. Harry did a double take. A girl, similar of Arthur Pendragon the Seventh's age, who had curling platinum-blonde hair, and an astounding level of beauty, Harry had only seen in the photos of the Hollywood celebrities, in his Aunt's Life magazine. She also had mesmerizing violet eyes. 'Similar to the description of Daenerys Targaryen the First...' Harry thought.

The platinum-blonde haired beauty with a smug smile said, "Why dear Arthur? What's so much complicated about it?" Arthur with a dreaded exclamation said, "What's so complicated about it, Daenerys? Just tell me what is not complicated about it?! Hell! More bloodshed than entire combined history of the other Eighteen Assistant Houses! Who is whose's enemy and whose's ally, half filled with treachery, deceit, revenge, espionage and remaining with bloodshed! What is not complicated about it?! I don't even understand even a quarter about it?" The Head of the House of Pendragon finished frantically. The other member of the Pendragon Grand Family also nodded hurriedly.

"Oh..." Daenerys Targaryen the Eighth, the third in line to the Throne of Westeros said with a smug smile, "...so you want to tell that you do not understand the history of the Targaryen's? So you want to imply that you truly did not understand really or did not pay attention to the lessons of Great-Aunt Rhaellys gave you and Ariana?" She looked at the figure of Ariana Pendragon, who imitated the same horror-filled expression of Arthur Pendragon.

The twins exchanged a glance that clearly said, 'Oh Fuck! We are busted!' Daenerys VIII Targaryen narrowed her eyes and said, "You as well Ariana? Perhaps I will have to inform Great-Aunt Rhaellys after all..." The Pendragon twins shared a dreaded look. Finally Arthur gave in, "Okay! I will tell, but just a gist, nothing more okay?" Daenerys did not say anything, just continued her giving the twins a smug smile.

Arthur turned his attention to the other members of the Hall, "I am going to give just a gist nothing else..." With a sigh Arthur began the tale of the House of Targaryen...

"The House of Targaryen were a very old House in the Lands of Westeros consisting of dragon riders..." Then a second year Gryffindor asked, "Where is Westeros?" Arthur annoyed a bit at the interruption, but understood the boy's reasoning behind the question, "Magical counterpart of modern day Finland..." easily answered the question.

"They were the original rulers of Westeros, and ruled the nation for about 300 years. Then the Westeros have King Aerys II Targaryen who was literally known as the 'Mad King' for his highly questionable deeds. He had three children, Rhaegar, Viserys and Daenerys. Now Rhaegar elopes with a woman named Lyanna Stark, of the noble House of Stark. Lyanna' betrothed, Robert Baratheon, thought Rhaegar had kidnapped, Lyanna Stark, raped her and killed her. So, he led a mutiny against Aerys II Targaryen, killed him and Rhaegar. The young Viserys and newly born Daenerys Targaryen flee from Westeros and reach, to another continent known as Essos, which is modern day Russia."

"Almost fifteen years later, Viserys decided to take back Westeros and claim the Iron Throne, so he arranges a marriage contract between his sister and a Dothraki leader, named Khal Drogo..." At that Hermione decided to ask, "Who are Dothraki? And what is this Iron Throne?"

Arthur massaged his temples, 'This will take longer than I expected. Damn you Daenerys!', and then said, "The Dothraki are a race of nomadic horse-mounted warriors in Essos, the continent to the east of Westeros across the Narrow Sea. They inhabit the vast central plains of Essos, known as the Dothraki sea. Their bond with horses is such that Dothraki are said to be born, fight, and die in the saddle. And for the the Iron Throne..." he gave Daenerys VIII Targaryen a weary glance seeking for help, but she just gave a sweet smile, "...King Aegon I Targaryen, ordered, after conquering all the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, to make a throne out of 1000 swords that were surrendered to him by the Lords of Westeros, who swore fealty to the King Aegon the First. These swords were subsequently melted down by the fiery breath of Aegon's dragon, Balerion the Black Dread, then beaten and bent into a large throne of imposing appearance..."

"And no..." he continued, because he pretty well knew what the next question would be, as it always have been asked, "...I don't know whether it was comfortable or not sitting on a Throne made up of Hundreds of spikes, poking up their arse..." he avoided a swat aimed at him by Ariana followed by a "Language!" and continued, "...but Targaryen family has always been known for pretty weird sense of style..." This time he could not manage to evade the swat of the hand of Daenerys. Many laughed at the trio's interaction, while Hermione blushed, because Arthur had rightly guessed her question

"Anyway..." Arthur continued, as if nothing had happened, "...so...where were we...yes...Daenerys get married to Khal Drogo, gets three dragon eggs as wedding gift, and once again, long story short, Viserys was killed by Khal Drogo for breaking an Ancient Dothraki law. Khal Drogo was later grievously injured, and lost his basic abilities of life like, vision, speech, strength etc. So, Daenerys performs the act of mercy killing, Euthanasia, and kills Drogo. Also, Daenerys also had Drogo's stillborn baby, who also dies."

Every occupant of the Hall beard an expression filled with disgust and contempt. Arthur internally sighed, 'Told you all, its highly complicated and gruesome, but still you all wanted to listen...'

Once again he continued from where he had left, "So...Daenerys takes it upon herself, to claim the Iron Throne by herself. So, with the remaining, Dothraki, she sets her eyes on the Westeros. During the funeral of Khal Drogo, she manages to hatch her three dragon eggs, and named the three of her dragons, Rhaegon, Viserion and Drogon. With that she marches towards Westeros. On her way, she met another person, named Jon Snow, with whom, she later involves in a romantic relationship. Later she, in good faith, wanted to establish an alliance with the The House of Stark of the North, but she was mistreated very badly. In her path, to claim the Iron Throne, she met a great deal of resistance, of another problem that was brewing in the North: the White Walkers, or most notably known as the the Others."

The eyebrows of the students rose instantly. They had read in their Defense Against the Dark Arts, what the Others, or the White Walkers were. The White Walkers were an ancient race of formerly-human ice creatures, very similar to Inferius, except they were sentient, who came from the Arctic regions. Defense is a highly complicated fire charm, that not many could perform.

"So, in order to fight the White Walkers, the Targaryens and the Starks came under a truce, and managed to stop the White Walker invasion. So, once again long story short, after managing to defeat the Walkers, Daenerys finally manages to conquer entire Westeros and almost sat on the Iron Throne..."

Arthur glanced all the persons present in the Hall, only to find, all were deeply in the trance of the story. He continued, "...but...in the end, she was betrayed by the person she actually loved the most, Jon Snow, or rather Aegon VI Targaryen, son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark..." Everyone gasped. "...yes...Jon Snow...was actually Daenerys's nephew. In the end, both knew about it, but to follow their heart, but Jon Snow, finally betrays Daenerys. After the end of the war, when the both of them were in the throne room, Jon Snow, with an act of proclaiming his love for her, stabs Daenerys, with the aim to kill her. He truly loved her, no doubt, but he was heavily influenced by the words of a person called Tyrion Lannister, and the other members of the House of Stark. So, after she was stabbed, luckily her last remaining dragon Drogon was there, with his fire, melted the Iron Throne, and grabbed Daenerys and flew away in the sky...remaining of the story...I guess you all can understand..."

Arthur turned his head towards Daenerys VIII Targaryen and asked wearily, "Happy now?" She simply replied with a sweet smile, "Very much! See told you its not very difficult?" Arthur simply scowled and muttered which only harry and Susan managed to hear, "Yeah...'not difficult' you ask? That was what? Only 0.5% of the entire history of Targaryen, remaining portion filled with deceit, treachery, betrayal, war, bloodshed, espionage, ruthlessness, so many more? And you say its not 'difficult'?"

The Great Hall of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was completely silent. Arthur checked his Casio Edifice wristwatch, where the the hands of the watch told him: 10:55 a.m. He thought, 'I guess time is still there...' Arthur finally said, "I can allow one more question now, as we have a busy schedule today."

For some solid moments everyone was silent, then Hermione slowly raised her hand and asked, "You are all are constantly saying Ten master Clans, Eighteen Assistant Houses. What are those?"

Arthur finally gave a true grin after a long time, indeed happy at the question, "Glad you asked. I was thinking none of you will ever ask about topics..."

He turned towards all the occupants of the Hall and said, "Except Britain, most of the magical Nations, are highly advanced than their mundane counterpart, in terms of Science and Technology..." The eyes of the muggleborns widened drastically along with that of Harry's, which did not go unnoticed by Arthur. He asked to everyone in general, "What? Don't be surprised. Just because Britain preferred to stay in Victorian era, doesn't mean entire world will. Time goes on, it never stops. Progress and change are interrelated and walks hand in hand with time. Change is a part of life. It is our choice whether to accept it, acknowledge the change, and move on with the rest of the world, or deny and be left behind by the progress. Time never stops and will drag you toward the future, accept it or not..."

"But one thing, always remained the same since the dark ages: administration. Although, there is the system democracy, and other kinds of modern political ideologies like Liberalism, Capitalism, Socialism, Communism and many more, but the system of Monarchy and nobility is still the most accepted, and mostly used form of government and system of administration."

"Top ten Noble Houses, which have Royal blood in them, that are self-sustainable under any circumstances, who perform and can wield magic of Arcanic level, whose's primary objective is to maintain security of the planet from Dimensional beings, and to prevent wars among the nations of the magical world. This group of top ten most influential, extremely powerful in terms of raw magical prowess, advancement in the field of science and technology, whose political and monetary strength is incomparable to anyone other House in this world. This group consisting the top ten Grand Houses of the world, are known as Ten Master Clans." Every took a sharp breadth.

"These Houses are: the Pendragon, the Olympia, the Maurya, the Eveningshade, the Romanov, the Belladonna, the Mayan, the Amari, the Abdalla and finally the Yotsuba..."

Hearing the name of 'Yotsuba' brought shivers down the spine of all the purebloods. Very clearly they knew what the Yotsubas had done in the past, to gain the title of 'the Untouchables' and the deep association of the Pendragons with the infamous Asian House, was widely known even among the ignorant purebloods.

"...Together, these ten Houses form the Ten Master Clans. Along, with these names, the phrase 'Royal and Arcane House' is always added, to signify their Royal lineage and incomparable command over the forces of magic and the elements of nature."

"Each of the Houses of the Ten Master Clans are Grand Houses and are the Head of their own respective Grand Family. Some of the most strongest members Houses of each the Grand Family with exceptional command over magic, and are tasked with the provincial administration of various provinces under their Grand House. There are 18 such Houses, who are called 18 Assistant Houses, and are called 'Royal and Imperial House' to denote their Royal lineage and administrative authority. The 18 Assistant Houses help the Ten master Clans in their day-to-day activity, in maintaining the International Statue of Secrecy, managing peace and collective security throughout the planet. Together, the combined association of the Ten Master Clans and the 18 Assistant Houses is known as 28 Families."

"After the Twenty Eight Families, comes the association of the Hundred Families. This group of Houses consists of many other Grand Families, as well as some other minor Grand Houses. They are tasked with regional administration, internal security, food production and management, among many other other things. They are denoted by the title 'Royal and Ancient House' to denote their Ancient Royal lineage...so with this..." Arthur suddenly clapped twice and immediately the the other members of the Grand Family of Pendragon rose from their seats, harry and Susan soon followed their lead. Arthur said, "Now...that you all have got to know the basics of almost everything, so we can begin with the introductions..."

Arthur said with vigour, "So once again, let me introduce myself, I am, Lord Arthur Pendragon the Seventh, Head of the Royal and Arcane House of Pendragon of the Ten Master Clans and the Head of the Grand Family of Pendragon and the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Avalon... now the others"

Suddenly a man, with copper-blonde hair and amber eyes wearing a deep-red trench coat with a Lion Crest on it, stepped forward and introduced himself, "I am Lord Leon Gryffindor..." gasps went throughout the Hall"...the Head of the Royal and Ancient House of Gryffindor..." and then pointed towards the brunette woman beside him and said, "...and she is my wife Lady Ariel Gryffindor..." He stepped back.

Then stepped in a woman who was in her late twenties. She eyes like that of forest pools and wore cerulean-blue coloured overcoat with the Crest of a bronze Eagle on it. She announced with a sense of elegance, "I am Lady Elizabeth Ravenclaw..." gasps went throughout the Halls once again "...Head of the Royal and Ancient House of Ravenclaw..." she stepped back.

A man in his thirties with sandy-blonde hair and dark green eyes, wearing olive green trench coat, stepped forward, "I am Lord Salestine Slytherin..." this time only the members of the Slytherin House audibly gasped which the man named Salestine Slytherin easily ignored, he would deal with them later, "...Head of the Royal and Ancient House of Slytherin..."

This time a man in his late twenties with dirty blonde hair stepped forward. He was wearing a buff-yellow coat with the Crest of a Badger neatly sewed on it, "I am Lord Helion Hufflepuff , Head of the Royal and Ancient House of Hufflepuff..." fewer gasps were there this time as many were mentally prepared about it, Helion Hufflepuff pointed towards the woman beside him "...she is Lady Fiona Hufflepuff..." she waved her hand toward the table of the House of Badgers.

This time a man, who looked to be in his early thirties, who had black jet hair and a Raven Crest on his black robes, Morrighan Le Fay, stepped forward. With a deep commanding tone he said, "Hey! You all know by the time that I am Lord Morrighan Le Fay...Head of the Royal and Imperial House of Ley Fay..." loud gasps went throughout the Hall and immediately whispers and mutterings broke among the students.

A man with silver-blonde hair stepped forward who had a Thunderbird Crest on his shirt, Lord Styller Emrys begun, " You all also know me, I am Lord Styller Emyrys, Head of the Royal and Imperial House of Emyrys and this is my wife..." pointing towards the woman beside him, "...is Lady Sarah Emyrys..."

Then a girl who looked to be just sixteen in age and had platinum-blonde hair with violet eyes who had A Three-Headed Dragon Crest trimmed on the left of her dark-brown fighting robes declared, "I am Daenerys Targaryen the Eighth...the Heir Presumptive of the Royal and Imperial House of Targaryen..." loud gasps once again went throughout the Hall hearing the title Royal and Imperial House once again. By this time the muggleborns and other half-bloods have also understood the amount of mess they were in for harassing Harry and Susan all those days.

Then a boy and a girl stepped forward who looked quite similar to Arthur. Every understood from the same auburn hair and amber-blue eyes the they were also Pendragons. The boy said first, "I am Kristofer Pendragon." then the girl announced, "I am Marylene Pendragon." It was quite understandable that both Kristofer and Marylene were siblings.

Then three girls (one auburn-haired girl with amber-blue eyes(Ariana Pendragon), the Asian-looking girl with silky black hair and an Italian-looking girl with auburn hair and electric blue eyes) and the Asian looking boy (with black jet hair and wearing a business suit) stepped forward and stood beside Arthur.

Then the girl who just looked like a duplicate copy of Arthur Pendragon declared, "I am Ariana Pendragon of House of Pendragon" Quite understandable, she was Arthur's twin Every Hogwarts student took a sharp intake of breadth. Saying that 'Ariana Pendragon is beautiful' was equivalent to saying 'Milky Way is big'. Most appropriate phrase would be that she was 'Drop dead gorgeous'. Some male students were even drooling at her sight but one sinister smile from her, made them scared as shit.

Then the Asian looking girl said with a small smile, knowing what impact the next few of her words will have, "I am Miyuki Shiba, Heir Apparent to the Royal and Arcane House of Yotsuba of the Ten Master Clans, and the Crown Princess of Magical Japan and..."

The Asian looking boy took from there, "...and I am Tatsuya Shiba of Royal and Arcane House of Yotsuba and Miyuki's fiancée."

This time there was pin drop silence throughout the Hall. Harry glanced at the other students of the Hall. Absolute terror was clearly visible on the purebloods. Two loud high-pitch shriek went throughout the Hall.

Harry looked in the direction to find that every student were looking at the direction of the source of the scream. Two Ravenclaw girls, Fifth Year Cho Chang, and Fourth Year Sue Li. They had an expression of absolute dread, as if they had seen ghosts in the broad day-light (wait, don't the Hogwarts students actually see ghosts in the broad day-light on a regular basis? Anywaaay...). Any trace of colour left their faces completely. The body of the two Asian girls was trembling very badly, as if they looked they were going to lose their senses.

Miyuki Shiba at that time with a sweet voice and in perfect English said, "Don't worry you two, this time we don't have to kill someone..." The muggleborns looked scandalized hearing that a person talking about killing another person in such a casual manner. Although the muggleborns had scandalized expression, but the purebloods sighed in relief. Then Harry heard the girl named Miyuki mutter, "...perhaps..." This did not bode well with Harry.

Then the Italian looking auburn-haired girl with electric blue eyes spoke up, "Hi, I am Artemis Olympia the Seventh, of the Royal and Arcane House of Olympia..." Although, the British wizards were tired of the frequent gasping after every five minutes, but their surprise took better of them and gave another involuntary gasp.

Few minutes passed in complete silence. then Arthur begun in a serious tone, "I guess now it time, to reveal, the identity of this person 'P' and to which House of the Grand family does Mr. Harry James Potter belongs..." Everyone shifted in their seats. This was the moment they all were waiting for, especially the purebloods, to which Unknown Family of the Grand Family of Pendragon, does Harry Potter belongs.

Arthur gazed at all the members of the Hall once and then asked, "You asked in the beginning how 'P' was a wild card in the army of King Arthur I Pendragon, and I answered he possessed three of the most sought items of the magical world right?" Everyone nodded, "I guess, all of you who have read or heard the Tale of Three Brothers from The Tales of Beedle the Bard, have by now guessed that I was referring about the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Cloak of Invisibility, or together known as the Deathly Hallows?" The pureblood students slowly nodded their heads. Arthur continued, "Yes, being the owners of all three of the Hallows, he was the Master of Death..." The magical-raised students took a sharp intake.

"For those who don't know the Tale of Three Brothers it goes something like this..." Then he very briefly explained how the three brothers met the incarnation of death while crossing a river, the eldest got the Elder Wand, the most powerful wand in history of magic, the Resurrection Stone, the stone that could bring back the dead, and the Cloak of Invisibility, how it could even hide a person even from Death...

The muggleborns were gobsmacked would be an understatement. They had never ever heard such a tale ever in their lives. Colin Creevey hesitantly asked, "Does that mean that person 'P' was immortal?" Many, even the pureblood students and the teachers wanted to know the same.

Arthur chuckled at the naivety of the Third year Gryffindor student, "No, wielding the Deathly Hallows together doesn't give you immortality, it just ensures that you won't get an unnatural death." Many gasped. Not dying an unnatural death was also not a small feat. He continued, "...but...that was not what made 'P' a wild card of Arthur's army. What made him the ace of Arthur's army, was that he could summon the spirits of dead from the Underworld he could control an army of Inferi with a single command of his voice. He was, what we in today's world would be called, a Necromancer!" The purebloods became deadly pale. Necromancy was one of the vilest Arts of magic. Very few Houses in the entire world had the permission to perform Necromancy legally from the Ten Master Clans themselves. The purebloods could narrow down the possible House Harry Potter belonged, but the options were not very much.

The Great Hall became deadly silent. Harry also had a very bad feeling from the stares he was receiving. He wondered if his ancestors were truly Necromancers.

Arthur, understanding the internal conflict in Harry, quickly said, "But the person 'P' was not actually a Necromancer..." harry along with the other purebloods heaved a sigh, then a question arose in their mind, 'if not a Necromancer then what?' but Arthur gave the answer for them, "...he was a Soul Mage..." The heart of all pureblood students, the teachers and other foreign delegates from stopped for a second. They DID NOT LIKE THE IMPLICATIONS of Arthur Pendragon the Seventh's words at all. Only one House, yes, only one House in the entire world had the unanimous permission from the Ten Master Clans, the 18 Assistant Houses and the Hundred Families to perform Soul Magic, the most pure and vilest form of magic. The most creative and destructive form of magic. Only this one House ever produced Soul Mages.

The name of the House is: Royal and Imperial House of-

"Impossible!" Daphne Greengrass shouted out the opinion of all the other British pureblood students who nodded frantically. "Absolutely impossible!" she repeated, dread evident in her voice.

A playful smile was playing on Arthur's lips. He asked, "Why do you think so, Miss Greengrass?" Daphne practically screamed, "Its impossible because that Family became extinct in 17th Century!" Arthur's playful smile vanished in an instant and a solemn look took in its place, "Yes, its true that Family almost came on the verge of extinction in the 12th Century, but they came in front of the Council of the Twenty Eight Families and pleaded for help. Since that Family was a member of the Grand Family of Pendragon, we came to a decision that it was best for the them to hide their name, for the time being, to avoid the persecutors. So, the Head of the Family, decided to get his only remaining Family member, his granddaughter married to a newly found magical House. So in this way, they managed to hide themselves and when we, the Pendragons managed to get rid of the persecutors of that Family, they decided to remain hidden until such a time comes when the Family once again will be on the verge of extinction. Till, such a time, the Pendragons were asked not to interfere in their Family matters, unless they were in mortal peril. So, we honoured the first part of their wish, and now we, the Royal and Arcane House of Pendragon, have come to fulfill the remaining portion of our promise, to save the Last remaining House of the grand Family of Pendragon, when it is on the verge of extinction and mortal peril."

Daphne Greengrass still did not want to believe her suspicions, "No way House Potter was that family!" Arthur had enough of her tantrum. He gave her a sharp look and said, "Care to challenge?"

"Yes!" she replied defiantly. Arthur nodded, "Well I hope you don't mind confirming what are things I am going to say next?" She nodded affirmatively. "Well I guess you know the entire Potter Family Tree?" Lord Pendragon asked. A bit uncertain, where this discussion was going, she replied, "Yes."

"Good. Then lets recite the Potter Family Tree in reverse chronological manner shall we?" She agreed.

"Then what is the name of Harry Potter's father?" Daphne looked a bit mad 'who doesn't know about this?!' but replied anyway, "James Potter."

Arthur asked "Married?" she replied "Lily Potter née Evans."

"Father of James Potter?" "Fleamont Potter"

"Married?" "Euphemia Potter née Moon."

He asked "Father of Fleamont Potter?" she replied "Henry Potter"

"Married?" "Cassandra Potter née Fleamont"

Arthur once again asked, "Henry's father?" "Ralston Potter, married Cassiopeia Potter née Black"

Arthur smiled, because he knew that his next question will be his trump card, "Ralston Potter's parents?"

Daphne smugly tried to answer, "Father: Hardwin Potter, married Iolanthe Potter née-" but failed because no more voice could be heard from mouth. She turned deathly pale because she understood where her mistake laid, being too overconfident.

Each and every pureblood student that whatever prayers that they were unknowingly uttering were futile in front of the evidence present in front of them. So, it was true, after all, Harry Potter, the boy-who-lived, was the last surviving member of one of the oldest pureblood Houses of the world and Great Britain, Royal and Imperial House of-

"Answer Miss Greengrass." Arthur said with a smirk. Daphne, seeing no reason to delay the truth, finally answered after few seconds, sighing a deep breadth,

"Peverell"

The colour from faces of all the purebloods lost immediately at Daphne's proclamation. What they had been dreading turned out to be true. Harry Potter, was a part of Royal and Imperial House of Peverell. Suddenly as a flashback, all the atrocities they had done with Harry and Susan flashed in the heads of students and teachers alike. Only one thing was going in their minds ,'Please someone do have mercy on us!'

Suddenly Harry felt a soft hand grab his left hand. He saw Susan, had grabbed his hand with her right hand, and with the left she was trying to cover the wide mouth. Her eyes were shining with unshed tears. Harry quickly strengthen the grip on her hand and softly spoke, "Don't worry, we are safe." She nodded and with a croaked voice said, "Thank you."

Arthur with a tone of dramatic ending said, "So, ladies and gentlemen, after such a long time of waiting, you all finally get to know the answer you all have been waiting for. Harry James Potter, last surviving member of Most Ancient and Noble House of Potter, belongs the Royal and Imperial House of Peverell of the 18 Assistant Houses and the Grand Family of Pendragon, so with that one last remaining thing is left to do..." With that he raised his hand and said, "I Lord Arthur Pendragon the Seventh, the Head of the Royal and Arcane House of Pendragon of the Ten Master Clans and the Grand Family of Pendragon, hereby take Harry James Potter of Houses Potter and Peverell, under the protection of House of Pendragon, unconditionally and for an indefinite span of time till, Houses Potter and Peverell recover back to its glorious days of the past."

A brief glow wrapped around the body of Harry Potter, sealing the deed. A ring appeared with the Pendragon sigil on the ring finger of his left hand. Suddenly a brief glow also encased around Susan, and a similar ring to that of Harry's finger appeared on Susan's ring finger of her left hand. Both looked at each other, confusion engraved on their faces. Arthur's eyebrows rose a bit, before reverting back to his original expression and said, "By Right of Proxy, "I Lord Arthur Pendragon the Seventh, the Head of the Royal and Arcane House of Pendragon of the Ten Master Clans and the Grand Family of Pendragon, hereby take Susan Amelia Bones of House of Bones, under the protection of House of Pendragon, unconditionally and for an indefinite span of time."

Arthur gestured harry, Susan and other members of the Grand family of Pendragon to sit on the chairs, which they easily complied, but he remained standing. He scrutinized the occupants of the hall for some moments before saying, "If you any body have any questions remaining, you all can raise your hands and ask..." But nobody dared to do so. Now everybody understood how much power the Pendragons had.

"What no questions?" he asked but got no reply. At that time the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry asked carefully, not repeating his previous mistake, "After this what you all plan to do Lord Pendragon?"

Arthur simply stared at the ceiling and replied, "Hmm...we do have some work in the bank, check our finances and also fill some paperwork, I guess you know...how tedious the paperwork are?" he asked with a chuckle. "Very tiring indeed." Dumbledore also replied with a small smile.

"But before that..." Arthur said. Dumbledore's eyes rose a bit.

Arthur with a jerk of hand, transfigured the simple chair where he sat before to a Black-leathered Office chair. He sat on it, with one leg on top of the other, in a very intimidating posture and faced the rest of the Hall. What the occupants of the Great Hall saw, froze their blood. Gone all his happy-go-lucky facial expressions, gone the charming smile and warm bright eyes. In its place was a feral and predatory look. His glowing amber-blue eyes looked liked as cold as ice. Many gulped down the spit in their throat. With a menacing voice he began, "This entire time, many questions we have answered numerous questions and spent our precious time by telling you all those things that you all were supposed to know from the very first day, you all began the school...but your esteemed teachers have forgotten to tell you these basic things..." the Hogwarts staff were sweating furiously, "so we have answered them to fulfill your curiosity...now its your turn to answer us to some of our questions...to satisfy our curiosity..."

Harry thought, 'Now it seems like, they are up for a huge load of shit...'

Arthur looked directly into the cowering blue eyes of Albus Dumbledore, with his cold and glowing amber-blue eyes, "You can begin by telling us why Harry Potter was subjected to such harsh treatment by the student community and no action was taken against the perpetuators..."

Harry thought, 'No, they are not just up for a huge load of shit...no...they are about to face the Wraith of the Pendragons...'

Suddenly another thing he suddenly remembered the Hogwarts motto, 'Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus...meaning, Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon...'
