(Hogwarts-Gryffindor Common Room-A Couple of Days after the Champion Selection)
Harry walked into the Common Room under his Invisibility Cloak and watched everyone warily, he noticed Hermione sat in the corner surrounded by books and felt a twinge of pain over her dismissal of his argument 'I thought she was my Sister' he shook his head and started to head up to his room to collect his trunk, he wasn't going to be staying here with backstabbing bastards like Ron. He entered his room and glared as he saw Ron, Dean and Seamus trying to break into his trunk.
Ron chuckled "Yeah the Attention Seeking Glory Hound makes it out that he has done nothing wrong and that he didn't put his name in the goblet, and someone is trying to kill him, but I think it is just a pity party like with the Parseltongue. Oh, look at me, I'm an orphan who killed at Dark Lord, but I have no parents and as such I should be paid attention to" the other two laughed in agreement as they continued to try and break into Harry's trunk, unaware of the Potter Heir behind them.
Harry snarled internally at the extra level of betrayal as he moved his hand outside of his Cloak, he silently stunned at three of them and placed them on their beds, he quickly shrunk his trunk and placed it in his pocket. He shook his head and sighed as he moved back into the Common Room, he looked over at Hermione and saw her Pokémon Familiar staring at him, he shook his head and it nodded before looking back at Hermione, he sighed once again before leaving the Common Room.
(Hogwarts-A Random Corridor)
Harry wandered through the corridors under his invisibility cloak trying to shake off the feeling of betrayal from Ron's actions, he shook his head 'Why did he do it? I don't understand, I thought we were friends! How could he just give away all of my secrets and try to break into my trunk? just like that!'. Harry was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice the person in front of him until they collided, both fell over and Harry looked up into violet eyes.
The person in front of him was a girl, maybe two or three years older than him and was wearing the Durmstrang uniform, she shook her head and glared at him before speaking in an accented tone "Vhat vas that about? do you not look vhere you are going?" Harry winced before standing up. He held out his hand "Sorry about that. I was lost in my thoughts and wasn't paying attention to my surroundings".
She looked at his hand warily before taking it, he pulled her to her feet and was stunned again by her Violet eyes 'She's really pretty' he shook of the thought and let go of her hand before picking up his cloak, she looked at it and blinked with wide eyes "An Invisibility Cloak, they are supposed to be very rare" Harry nodded warily as he put the cloak in his Moleskin Pouch, she shook her shock off before looking at him, she held out her hand "Natalia, Natalia Pavlova".
Harry remembered what Daphne had told him and took her hand in his, he brought it up as he bent over slightly and kissed the back of her hand "Hadrian Potter, charmed" she giggled "Indeed, I know who you are, Mr Potter, the scar and eyes give it away" Harry chuckled and rolled his eyes "Well, at least the eyes are a nice new addition, usual it is just the scar". She nodded "I can see vhy that vould be, thought, I am curious about you, Mr Potter, may ve valk and talk?".
Harry stared at her for a moment and Natalia knew he was assessing her, he smiled slightly shyly "Of course, Miss Pavlova, I would be a fool to deny a request from such a lovely young lady and please, no more of this Mr Potter, my name is Hadrian or Harry" she smiled back "Then please Harry, you must call me Natalia or Nat". Harry nodded and the two began to walk through the corridors towards the Courtyard "So, Harry, vhat vere you doing valking around under an Invisibility Cloak?" Harry sighed and looked at her.
He slumped his shoulders "I just found my ex-Best Friend and two of my dorm mates trying to break into my trunk, I stunned them and shrank my trunk, it is no longer safe for me there" Natalia shook her head and darkly muttered something in Russian, Harry looked at her and she shook her head with a soft smile. "Sorry, I don't like traitors, I vould have placed dangerous hexes on my trunk to stop them" Harry chuckled "I'll think about it, I'm just deciding where I am going to stay from now on" Natalia looked at him thoughtfully.
"I vould have you over at the ship but the Headmaster doesn't like you, do you know any places that people don't go often, that is vhere I vould go" Harry thought about the third floor corridor and the Chamber of Secrets "I have a couple of places I can check before thinking about anything else" Nat tilted her head "Can you show me? I am interested in the castle" Harry shrugged "Sure, come on".
Harry led her through the corridors only to be stopped by Cedric, Victor, Fleur and Gabby "Hey, what's up?" they looked at Nat for a moment before turning to Harry "Where are you off to, Harry?" Harry looked at them before smirking "Well, Ced, my friend, I was about to show Miss Pavlova, one of Hogwarts' darkest secrets, the one from my second year" Cedric's eyes widened "Really? Its real?" Harry nodded.
Cedric seemed really giddy "Can we come with you, please? I really want to see it, it is supposed to be a myth" Harry rolled his eyes "Sure thing Ced but I am not sure that Gabby should come with us, it is a terrifying sight" Gabby walked over and looked up at him [I am coming, I don't want to be left behind. Please don't leave me behind 'Arry] Harry looked ta her and sighed "Alright but if you are scared, don't be afraid to ask to leave" Gabby nodded, Harry continued on with his friends in tow.
(Hogwarts-Second Floor Girl's Bathroom)
The group blinked as Harry led them into a girl's bathroom "Umm Harry?" Harry raised a finger "Myrtle, are you here?" after receiving no response he shrugged and walked over to the sink, he looked at the snake on the tap ~Open for the Lord Slytherin~ the grates and sink started moving until the entrance opened, Harry nodded ~Stairs. Torches~ a stairway appeared, and a set of torches lit the way down.
He turned back to the others "Are you coming?" he started to walk down the stairs and the others followed, as soon as they had all come through, Harry turned around ~Close~ they all watched as the entrance way closed again before turning to Harry who shrugged "To make sure that no one stumbles down here, they could get lost forever" he continued on with the others stay close to him.
Harry continued to lead them through the tunnels until the found the snakeskin, Gabby eeped in fear and hid behind Harry, Harry patted her on the head, Victor gasped "This is a Basilisk skin, there is vne down here?" Harry shook his head "No anymore, Dobby" the house elf appeared in a Gryffindor red and gold ninja outfit with a Slytherin silver and green sword and sheath on his back "What can Dobby do for Master Harry?".
Harry smiled at him "Can you bring this to Ragnok and tell him to get what he can from it, tell him that Gringotts can have 50% of whatever profits he can get from this skin and any other skins you may find, can you also bring some House Elves to clean this place up?" Dobby nodded and disappeared with the skin, Harry grinned "Let's continue" they continued on until the found a door with 8 snakes on it ~Open~ the door opened, and they entered "Welcome to the Chamber of Secrets".
(The Chamber of Secrets)
Harry smiled as he found himself back down here, the others looked around until Gabby and Fleur screamed in fear, everyone turned to see the Basilisk corpse laying there before turning to Harry who smiled at it, he walked over and patted it on the head "Sorry Slinky, you didn't deserve this fate" he looked up "Dobby" a few second later Dobby appeared "Yes Master Harry?" Harry grinned at him "Can you get some elves and take this to Ragnok, tell him that Gringotts can have 45% of the overall profits but I want the Skeleton".
Dobby nodded and popped away, only to pop back with about 20 elves, they popped away with the corpse, Harry nodded before looking at everyone else "So, shall we go and see where the Basilisk came from?" they blinked but nodded as Harry walked over to the pool next to the statue, he waved his hand as the water flew up to form a bridge over the pool and to the open mouth, he then waved his hand again transfiguring the water into a sturdy stone brick bridge.
He nodded as he walked across it, the others followed after examining the bridge, Harry held out his open hand and a glowing orb of light appeared in it, he continued on through the tunnel with his company until they entered a lit chamber, it was a living quarters with a large fireplace, in one of the corners was a large snake nest, obviously the Basilisk's and above the roaring fire was a portrait of the founders "Harry, my boy, you made it".
Harry grinned "Hello, Grandfather, Grandfather, Auntie Rowena, Auntie Helga, how are you all?" they smiled "We are fine, Harry, your parents are wondering how you are?" Harry winced "The school has turned on me again, my name came out of that thrice damned goblet" Salazar scowled and started cursing in Parseltongue as Godric growled "Damn them all, you are Hadrian Apollo Wayne, Prince of the Amazons, how dare they turn on you like this".
Harry snorted "It didn't stop them in second year" the four founders scowled, Helga and Rowena looked at each other and nodded, Helga spoke first "I Helga Harley Hufflepuff do declare Prince Hadrian Apollo Wayne as my Heir by Magic and by Soul, so mote be it" Harry gasped as a glowing badger flew into him and another ring appeared on his finger, it was the Hufflepuff Heir Ring.
Helga's eyes had widened "The totem, you can summon totems?" Harry shrugged and nodded as he summoned his now six totems, Rowena shook her head "I Rowena Raina Ravenclaw do declare Prince Hadrian Apollo Wayne as my Heir by Magic and Soul, so mote be it" the totem of an eagle flew over to Harry and entered his chest as the Heir ring for Ravenclaw appeared on his finger and fused with the Hufflepuff Ring.
Harry sighed "I Hadrian Apollo Wayne, do hereby take up position of Lord of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Hufflepuff, so mote be it" his Heir ring was replaced by a Lord Ring which fused with his Potter Ring "I Hadrian James Potter, do hereby take up the Position of Lord of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Ravenclaw, so mote be it" the Heir ring was replaced by the Lord ring which fused with his Potter Ring.
Harry's eyes glazed over and the Founders grinned "it's time" "For the first" "And likely the last" "Lord of Hogwarts" Harry began to speak but his voice sounded like the mixture of five different voices "I Hadrian Apollo Wayne, do hereby take up the Position of Lord of the Most Powerful, Ancient, Noble and Undying House of Hogwarts, so mote be it" the four rings fused together to create a ring with the Hogwarts emblem on it, it slipped onto his finger and the Potter Ring fused into it.
(Headmaster's Office)
Albus dropped into his chair and gasped as he felt the wards ripped from his magic, he breathed heavily for a few moments before gasping as he realized what had happened 'Only an Heir can take control of the Wards and Harry doesn't know how so…oh shit!' he turned to Fawkes "Fawkes, take me to the new owner of the Wards, please" Fawkes nodded and grabbed hold of Albus before flaming away.
(The Chamber of Secrets)
Harry blinked as his eyes returned to normal, he shook his head "That was…strange" 'My Lord, Headmaster Dumbledore and his Phoenix are trying to gain entry, should I let them through?' Harry blinked 'Umm, yes please?' 'Of course, my Lord' Fawkes flamed into the room with Albus who had his Wand in his hand before blinking at Harry "Harry, my boy?" Harry smiled "Hello, Headmaster, are you alright?".
Albus nodded slowly and looked around, he saw the other champions and a girl in Durmstrang uniform before turning back to Harry "So, my boy, given that Voldemort isn't here and you are, did you take control of the Wards somehow?" Harry blinked before looking at his hands "did I?" 'You did, my Lord' Harry hummed "I see, to be fair, I didn't even notice it happening".
"Maybe we can explain" Albus turned and gawked at the portrait of four people, he instantly knew "The founders" Harry chuckled, Salazar raised an eyebrow "How…uncivilized, is he going to continue to gawk at us all day?" Albus closed his mouth and blushed for his loss of composure, Harry waved his hand conjuring a chair for him "There you go, Headmaster".
Albus smiled as he sat down "Thank you, my boy" he looked ta the Founders, Rowena smiled "The reason the Wards went to Harry is because Helga and I claimed him as our Heir, when he declared himself Lord of our houses, for the first time ever, all four parts of Hogwarts were united in one being, he was then able to take up the position of Lord Hogwarts, which then gave him the Wards".
Albus blinked "I knew that he was the Gryffindor Heir but how is he the Slytherin Heir" Salazar let out a baritone chuckle and Albus looked at him, specifically his emerald eyes, Albus's eyes widened "Lily" Salazar nodded "Lily Evans was the direct descendent of my first born child, Evelyn, the one you call Voldemort is the direct descendent of my adopted son, Solstice".
Albus's eyes widened even further "I…I see" Albus stroked his beard in thought before turning to Harry "Harry, I need you to give me back the Wards" Harry blinked and was about to comply when the voice spoke again 'My Lord, do not return control of the Wards, he still believes you to be a Horcrux so he thinks that Tom Riddle can take control of me through you' Harry frowned before looking at Albus.
"I don't see the need to do so" Albus's eyes widened "My boy, please, you don't understand" Harry raised an eyebrow "Oh but Headmaster, I understand perfectly, I understand that you have been raising me to become a martyr for the light because of the Horcrux that was in my scar, Hogwarts has explained it to me" Albus paled before his expression turned to furious "I would NEVER set you up to die, you are like my Grandson".
Harry's eyes widened as he took a step back "Then why did you never…" Albus sighed "I couldn't show any true affection for you as Death Eaters might have taken advantage of it to try and pull me down using you but I have watched as you have grown into a powerful young man, I have searched for 12 years to find out what Voldemort did to you and how to remove it".
Harry fell on his backside, his eyes wide as he stared at Albus before shaking himself off "It doesn't matter now anyways, it has been removed, the Goblins did it for me" Albus blinked "The Goblins? Wait" he facepalmed "Curse Breakers of course, how did I not think of it before, I am an old fool" Harry stood and patted him on the shoulder "Its fine, it has been sorted" Albus nodded "You can keep control of the Wards but remember you can always come to me for advice" Harry nodded and Albus flamed away.
