Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Chapter 4- The Last Decedent
".... Harry, you are the last living heir of Merlin, the first wizard to use magic."
" But, Professor," Harry exclaimed, "How can I be a decedent of Merlin. It seems impossible."
"It is not impossible. About a millennium ago, before Hogwarts was built, Merlin had a daughter. She
soon had children, then about a hundred years later Hogwarts was built and her children went to
Hogwarts. After that the family line expanded.
Soon dark wizards started trying to kill them so that they couldn't be stopped. Five hundred years had
passed and the Dark Lord had killed a lot of decedents of Merlin by then. After that Merlin's family
went into hiding.
Exactly thirty-seven years ago Voldemort had a lot of power. He killed your Mom's parents. However, he
didn't know that Lily and Petunia were at a friend's house.
Voldemort was satisfied and continued to gather more followers.
Your Mom and Aunt were sent to a muggle orphanage.
When your Mom and your Aunt were adopted your Mom had attended Hogwarts at age eleven. Your Aunt had
to stay home because she didn't inherit her magical powers by then.
Once your Aunt had married Vernon and your Mom had graduated, she went to work as an auror with James,
Sirius and Remus.
A year later she got married to James and had you Harry, and that is how you are the heir of Gryffindor
and Merlin. I hope that explains everything to you."
Professor Dumbledore slightly shifted in his chair then asked, "Harry, do you have any questions?"
" No, Professor, I don't." Harry replied.
"Well then Harry, you should go find Hermione and Ron and find out what they have found. We need to
have a meeting right now Harry, so if you would excuse us."
"OK then," Harry said.
As he got up and was about to leave Sirius called out, "Hey Harry, wait."
Sirius pulled out two pieces of parchment and said, "Harry, these are the new Marauder's Maps, they
show you a map of wherever you are and shows who is there.
It will work when you touch the map and think in your head and say, "I solemnly swear I am up to no
good," and it can reappear in your hands whenever you want it to reappear to you.
I, Remus and Dumbledore, made these. Give these to Ron and Hermione. You can give me your original map
later on and we will fix it."
"Cool, Thanks Sirius. I'll see you later." Then Harry ran out of the stone gargoyle and turned on the
map to look for Ron and Hermione.
Harry saw that they were on the seventh floor in a weird room with Fred, George and Ginny.
Harry then took out his wand and tried out a spell he saw in one of his books and then he pointed his
wand at himself and said, "Flyingest Fastium", it was a spell that was supposed to make him fly at an
extremely fast speed. It was said in the book that the spell is hard to do, but Harry tried it anyway.
Harry didn't feel any different, so he jumped up and felt extremely light. He landed and tried to jump
forward. It took only a second to get to the end of the corridor. 'This is cool' Harry thought.
Harry jumped up and flew. While he was flying he flew past Professor Snape and then Harry noticed that
Professor Snape had turned around to see what went past him. Professor Snape then continued to keep on
walking but Harry thought he should annoy Snape a little bit so then Harry noticed that Snape had a
potion bottle in his hand so Harry flew into Snape's back, that sent Snape flying a few feet forward
and the potion bottle was shattered which made the potion splash onto Snape's face and hands.
The liquid gave Snape a gigantic large nose with a boil on it, and one of his eyes had gone large and
became the size of the tennis ball. His hands became deformed and crooked. Snape went to look in the
mirror and when he saw what he looked like, his face turned red and he screamed in fury! He pulled out
his wand and shouted a bunch of spells and then he blasted a wall. Soon the corridor was burnt and
Harry flew as fast as he can to the room on the seventh floor.
Harry was laughing so hard that his ribs started to hurt. He would have to ask Hermione how long the
effects would last. When he reached the room no one noticed he was there until they heard a swish. They
all turned around and saw Harry on the floor laughing hysterically. They looked at each other in
confusion and then Ron spoke,
"Harry what's so funny that you can't get up?"
Harry slowly got up and responded, "Hermione, do you know the Fastium spell?"
"Yeah, I heard about it in the charm book. It's a very hard spell to do and you would have to have a
lot of power to do it. What does it have to do with you laughing hysterically, Harry?"
Harry got up to explain,
"I used it on myself and tested it out. Then I used the new Marauder's Map that Sirius gave me and I
saw that you guys were up here so I used it to fly up here, but I saw Snape with a potion bottle so I
bumped into him and he got splattered with his own potion and now he's deformed and ugly and he burnt
the whole third floor corridor!"
Everyone in the room erupted with laughter. Then Ron spoke,
"Harry, you got him so mad that he burnt the third floor corridor?"
Fred spoke up, "Brilliant Harry, we never got him to burn a whole corridor."
George was laughing but then he said, "We threw dung bombs on his head but all he did was take off a
lot of points."
Then Ginny spoke up, "Harry what does he look like now?"
Hermione came up with the answer, "I know, I read this spell in a book and it can show anybody for a
minute."
Harry looked happier and he was grinning, "Hermione can you perform the spell right now?"
"Sure Harry." Replied Hermione. She took out her wand and said, "Acientium Severus Snape"
Light came out of Hermione's wand.
The light magnified as Hermione put her wand on the floor. When the beam of light was shining against
the wall an outraged and deformed Professor Snape appeared.
The whole room had exploded with laughter the instant Snape's image had come up. Everyone had tears
leaking out of their eyes.
Ron managed to speak and said,
"Harry," Ron tried his best to take a breath, "You are going to kill everyone in the room turning
Snape into a deformed idiot!"
Ron looked like he was going to say something, but he had burst out laughing again. Everyone was
laughing for about five minutes and when the laughter had died down Hermione spoke up,
"That potion is the Deformation potion. Snape will keep getting deformed until he drinks the antidote.
The antidote will take hours to make and finish. It is a prankster's potion."
Fred spoke up, "But Hermione, I know a lot of prankster potions but I never heard of this one. It's not
in any prankster potion books."
George was thinking and then he said, "Hermione will you teach me how to make that potion? I have to
get Malfoy to drink it." Ron grinned, "Hey George that's a good idea. Malfoy deserves it for making fun
of everyone in the room so much."
Ginny, however, was staring daggers at her brothers and said, "You guys shouldn't do that to Draco.
It's mean."
Fred, George and Ron looked at Ginny in pure shock and they said in unison,
"You can't seriously mean that do you Ginny? You, you have a crush on our worst enemy. He doesn't like
any of us Gryffindors... What can you possibly see in him?"
Ginny was about to defend herself but Professor Dumbledore's voice boomed through the seventh floor and
he said,
"Harry, Hermione, Ron, Fred, George and Ginny, please come to the Great Hall for dinner."
They had lost track of time, they started to walk down the corridors, Hermione and Ginny were talking
while Fred and George discussed what kind of pranks to do to on Malfoy.
Ron said, "Harry, have you heard about the new broomstick that is coming out?"
"No." Harry replied.
Ron said, "I think we're going to Diagon Ally tomorrow and we could see the broomstick then."
Harry and Ron began talking about Quidditch and how Snape would look but then they reached the Great
Hall.
They sat down at the Gryffindor table while Mr. and Mrs. Weasley sat with Professor Dumbledore,
McGonagall. Sirius was up there as well, in his full human form, Harry couldn't wait till Snape arrived
all deformed.
Finally the door of the Great Hall opened up and everyone turned to look. An ugly and deformed
Professor Snape walked through the door and everyone at the Gryffindor table laughed, along with Sirius
and Remus who were on the floor from laughing so hard.
Professor Snape who was shaking with fury continued to walk up to the head table and sat down at his
seat. Professor Dumbledore was amused along with Professor McGonagall and Mr. And Mrs. Weasley.
Once Sirius and Lupin had stopped laughing, Professor Dumbledore stood up and said, "Tomorrow there
will be a meeting in my office and I would like everyone here to attend it. I hope you enjoy the food."
Then Professor Dumbledore waved his wand and the food appeared and then he sat down and started
talking.
Harry was eating when Ron said, "I wonder what the meeting is going to be about."
Hermione looked up from her food and said,
"Well, it must be important. Harry are you going to tell us later what Professor Dumbledore said to
you?"
"Sure," Harry replied,
"When we get to the common room I'll tell you guys everything."
An owl flew up to Hermione and dropped a Daily Prophet paper into her lap.
Hermione took it and said,
"Harry, Ron come and look at this."
Harry and Ron leaned over and looked at the Daily Prophet. It had a picture of Harry and Voldemort at
the Ministry and the headline said,
Ministry of Magic Attacked By You-Know-Who
You-Know-Who has attacked the Ministry of Magic in London today. You-Know-Who had disappeared for
fifteen years since his downfall by Harry Potter after his own curse had rebounded on him and he'd
fled, leaving Harry with his famous scar.
Since then he had not returned until today when he was discovered to be back at full power and attacked
the Ministry of Magic. One side of the Ministry of Magic was blown up and lots of workers were
injured.
The attack was held off by none other than Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore whose combined efforts
stopped the Death Eaters and Voldemort. Hundreds of Death Eaters were captured but it will take a lot
of memory charms to get the muggles to forget everything that happened. The Ministry of Magic is going
under for repairs and cleaning up. More information will be released later.
"Harry, you are going to be even more famous after warding off the Death Eater's attack." Hermione
said.
"Hey Harry," Ron said, "Imagine what will happen when you walk into the Leaky Cauldron tomorrow. When
you get to Diagon Ally people will be shocked."
"Yeah, they will be shocked." Harry said as he looked around to see if everyone had finished eating.
When they did finish, Professor Dumbledore stood at the head table and said, "Well, I hope you have a
good nights rest and I will see you tomorrow."
He sat down again and started talking.
Harry, Ron and Hermione got up and they walked out the door to get to the Gryffindor common room,
"I'm stuffed," exclaimed Ron yawning. They made it to the Fat Lady's portrait and she opened up to let
the three go to sleep.
When they got to the staircase Hermione said, "Good Night, Harry, Ron."
She gave Harry a quick kiss and left for the Girl's Dormitory. Ron and Harry went up to the fifth year
boys' dormitory, Ron got into his bed and said, "Night Harry," and he fell asleep instantly.
Harry was wondering about some stuff when he too fell asleep.
