Hero Prince

Chapter 3

July 31st 1988

Bowerstone Castle

What should have been a happy day for the young Crown Prince was bogged down by the British Ministry of Magic who at Albus Dumbledores insistence had travelled to Albion to present the young Heir with his letter to Hogwarts.

"I knew you had to be senile Albus I specifically told you my Grandson would not attend your school." The Minister and his lackeys looked between the Monarch of Albion and the Headmaster of Hogwarts as the headmaster stood with the letter in his hand.

"Your Majesty, Hogwarts is the safest place in the world for the Young Prince and as an heir to a noble British House by law he must attend Hogwarts or lose his titles and estates."

If there was a time the Minister of Magic ever regretted agreeing to one of Dumbledore's plans that specific law was one of them.

The law had been passed 14 Months ago it officially Decreed that all children who are heirs to Standalone Noble Houses to hold there titles they had to attend Hogwarts School until there 5th year to be able to claim their seats and titles and if they were the last of there line the titles and estates would be sold off.

The Queen of Albion knew about this law before it had even been put before the Ministry and with her Grandsons permission, she had insured Henry would not be forced to do anything he didn't want to do.

Looking at the Headmaster she smiled. "Hobson please inform headmaster Dumbledore of what Law was passed in Albion 2 years ago and the amendment that was passed 15 months ago."

The Queen's advisor nodded before picking up a document from the table.

"on this day July 31st in the year 1986 the Noble House of Potter is recognised as a noble house within the territory of the Kingdom of Albion and its last surviving Member Prince Henry Lionheart as an emancipated Adult in the Eyes of the Crown."

Placing the document down he quickly picked up the other one and read it aloud.

"as of the 30thof April, in the year 1987, the Noble house of Potter including all its estate's titles and monies both within Albion and beyond its borders are placed firmly under the control of its new overlord house the Royal House of Lionheart."

Queen Mary smiled down the British Delegation and a shocked Albus. "You see Headmaster the House of Potter is one of my Vassal Houses and thus is exempt from your law now I believe you have worn out your welcome I wish you a good day."

It was at this moment 11-year-old Prince Henry ran into the Throne room his Lion companion following behind him he had a large smile on his face as he ran to her.

"Grandmother Master Garth taught me how to use Will Lightning he Says I am a natural…oh, my apologies I didn't know you were in Court."

Mary laughed her Grandson had been studying under Garth since he was 7 years old when he turned 10 he started to learn not only more destructive Will abilities but Magic from his Fathers world his mother had left her books in her old room.

Mary had also sent agents to Brittan to Potter Manor to take books on magic back to Albion for Henry despite losing his parents he grew up loved and happy however when he was too excited any court protocols, he learned went out the window.

"it doesn't matter my little Lion I was just finished with them."

Albus seeing the young Prince decided to make his move to see if he could convince the boy to willingly go. "Greeting your highness, I am Albus Dumbledore the headmaster of Hogwarts School in Britain."

Albus walked out of Bowerstone Castle with the Ministry delegation a very unhappy man it seemed the Queen had poisoned her Grandsons mind against going to Hogwarts however the Minister had invited the Young Prince to visit Britain for the Halloween ball the ministry was to host as a celebration of the Dark Lords defeat.

It could be a chance to convince the young Prince to visit Hogwarts for the day as part of a royal tour of Britain then he could see the splendour of Hogwarts and join the school after the Christmas break.

Yes, that would work Albus told himself already planning the boys Future in the Magical World with the support of the future King of Albion he could ensure his plans for the Greater good would last for decades maybe even marry the young Royal to a child of a loyal light sided family.

The Tattered Spire

The Seer of the Spire watched Albus walking from the castle with a small smile amused at his plans for her descendant. "Foolish little boy your plans are all in vein the boy's destiny may cross paths with you but that hardly matters in the grand scheme of things."

Young Henry was developing nicely but his first test would come soon he would overcome it just as he will overcome the darkness that was building, she was sure of that Albion would stand strong against the coming Darkness.

Bowerstone Castle Henrys chambers

Henry smiled as his Handmaiden left his chamber for the Night with the servant's His Lion Fluffy was lounging on the carpet Infront of the fire after eating one too many plates of beef while not a terrifying name for a lion Fluffy was feared by many for when Henry was 6 a bandit attempted to attack him when he visited the farming community of Oakfield.

The bandits scream and a roar quickly alerted the Queen and her guards who rushed to Henry's side only to see him playing by the shore completely unaware of what had happened at least that's what the Queen thought at first.

Upon seeing his grandmother, he smiled at her saying. "a bad man tried to hurt me but Fluffy hurt him first and chased him into the forest."

As if summoned Fluffy reappeared his fur stained with blood it was on that day the people knew not to try and harm the Prince or face the wrath of the dreaded Fluffy.

Henry smiled at his furry friend before laying his head down on the pillow allowing sleep to claim him, he could not wait for his lessons tomorrow with Uncle Garth.
