Chapter 4

The Power of the Bloodline

Hogwarts Castle Halloween 1988

Prince Henry was not very interested in the festivities he saw before him while he was used to large gatherings like this at the Castle back home on this day it would just be him and his Grandmother.

"I trust you are enjoying the celebrations your highness." Came the voice of the headmaster honestly the man was completely senile. "I see many people enjoying themselves Professor however this day in Albion is not celebrated it is a day of mourning."

The staff and ministry guest winced remembering that today was also the dark Princess Lily was killed they saw the young Prince was not in the mood to carry on the conversation thankfully something else would distract them.

The stuttering fool of a defence Professor ran in and screamed about a troll causing the inter school to panic the headmaster in his wisdom decided to take all the teachers to search the school leaving hundreds of students a prince and his two guards and pet Lion in the great hall.

20 mins later is when the doors shook with brutal Force scaring the students into a panic Henry ordered his men to take position as he stood behind them Infront of the staff table with his Lion Infront of him guarding him with his life.

The doors broke and standing there was a fully grown Mountain Troll that was shockingly armoured seeing the students running it roared in anger only to stop as the two soldiers fired on it their rounds hurt him but also made him angrier.

The troll went towards Henry causing Fluffy to attack he pounced at the troll his teeth finding their mark on his neck only to Henrys horror for him to be ripped off and tossed into a wall yelping in pain.

Something broke inside the young Prince his body felt like it had a hurricane of energy the very castle began to shake that the staff in the lower levels of the castle turned and ran towards the great hall.

Looking at the troll Henrys voice radiated pure magical energy. "leave my Lion alone." With that he unleashed pure Will Lightning on the troll Blasting it with such power the creature was vaporized leaving nothing but its Will Experience quickly absorbing it he checked his guards only to see them staring at him stunned.

He ran to his best friend his loyal Lion to see him hurt hugging his friend close he let a few tears fall as he reassured his only Friend that he would be fine that everything would be okay the garrison of soldiers that had been in Hogsmeade arrived just before the staff.

"Henry my boy why did you kill the creature." That was clearly the wrong thing to say as henry was up in seconds his eyes showing nothing but anger and pure true power his Guards had their rifles aimed true at the staff ready to protect their Prince.

"you will address me as your highness old man I was insured Hogwarts was the safest place in your pathetic little country it seems not only did you lie to me but also her majesty the Queen,"

Turning towards his men he ordered them to put fluffy on a stretcher as they prepared to leave, he turned back to a now pale Albus. "You can forget any political alliance between our two nations for as far as I've seen you allowed an armoured mountain troll into the very heart of your school were it nearly killed the Crown Prince of a foreign Kingdom as well as your own students."

The next day

It Appears the Daily Prophet got wind of the news as it was all over the morning paper as Albus sat down at his desk.

Crown Prince of Albion almost killed at Hogwarts

By Rita Skeeter

A shocking Development my fellow readers as word has reached us that Crown Prince henry Lionheart as well as the students that attend the prestigious school, and where was our Headmaster he was off with the entire staff in a completely different part of the school.

However, it seems the young Prince saved the day using the Albion ability known as Will to conjure lightning vaporizing a troll a feat that not many seventh years could do let allow a 11-year-old Prince.

But it appears the Headmaster instead of praising the young Royal criticized him for killing the troll, does the Headmaster value the life of a Mountain troll above that of our Children?

This reporter aims to find out when asked for a statement the Minister of Magic had this to say. "it is an absolute disgrace that the Crown Princes live was put at risk the Ministry in looking into the matter on weather or not the DLME needs to have a permanent presence at the School for the safety or our children."

Strong words from our Minister and much needed as it appears the Kingdom of Albion has cut of trade and diplomatic ties to magical Britain, we can only hope that Albion allows some sort of talks to begin shortly.

Bowerstone Castle

Henry sat beside his Lion Friend as he slept Master Garth had held him up right and now, he was just sleeping, however that didn't matter to the young Prince he would not leave his Friends side until he woke up.

His Grandmother had spoke to him about his powers and told him that she was proud of him for saving those people Henry was so focused on the sleeping Lion he didn't notice the woman shrouded by shadow until she made herself known.

The world around Henry including Fluffy froze causing him to look up in shock turning around to see the woman his Grandmother talked about.

"Greeting young Prince, I am Theresa the Seer of the Spire I helped your grandmother on her greatest challenge and now I do the same for you for you."

Henry was frozen as Theresa told him he would have to train hard in order to be ready for the task set before him.
