Chapter 1 The Powers of Old
The sound echoed along the sleeping Privet drive, a sound of a horse neighing, then as the lighting flashed down, a figure amidst flapping robes sits atop a black stallion, looking, watching waiting.
The time is 02:47 and 37 seconds on July the 26th, and the scene has now changed to a small room, there are a few threadbare pieces of furniture standing forlornly, there is a desk which has a variety of packages, some opened some unopened. There are 5 cards wishing someone a happy birthday. Moving over to the small bed a figure is asleep, he looks to be 15-16 years old, with a mop of unruly black hair, a thin lightning bolt scar zigzags across his forehead, and this is Harry Potter.
The minutes roll on and the thunder strikes again, but his time the figure is seen bending over the young boy, and seems to be counting '10-9-8-7-6-5-4.' the person puts his hand lightly over the boys scar '.3-2- 1' The room erupts into a golden light that pulsates momentarily then gradually reduces until it goes into the scar, flaring suddenly then blinking out.
Harry had been dreaming, a rare occurrence lately, his sleep had been usually plagued by nightmares; he had been dreaming that a Dragon, Elf and a Dwarf had come to him and called him their master. But before he could ask them why, he felt a terrible pain grasp him. He fought not to scream for a moment but gave why under the onslaught.
The man watched the boy thrash for a second and then he woke up screaming, the man quickly calmed the boy, by saying soothing words. Now that Harry felt himself again, he looked at the man and backed off groping for his wand. A small laugh stopped him, it sounded old but full of mirth, and happiness. 'Who are you?' Harry asked 'Someone who you know but have never met, someone everyone knows but has never meet bar one.' But who are you? The lightning flared again and the mans face was lit up, there sitting before Harry was Dumbledore, but upon closer inspection he could see that the mans hair and beard were much longer and his robes were pure black. His eyes sparkled blue with wisdom and mirth, and he said 'I, my son, am your many greats Grandfather, but for the moment you may call me.Merlin' The thunder rumbled and the lighting struck. Harry was speechless, and made a few incoherent noise's, he finally got his speech back, and then tried to think of a question, there were plenty in his mind put he couldn't think of any, thankfully Merlin came to his aid. 'My dear boy don't distress yourself, I have come for a reason, however it may be a more pleasant idea to go somewhere else to talk, and I think it would be nice if you had some people you know around you to help you through the transition' Harry didn't understand what he meant by the Transition, but nodded as Merlin, reached and grasped his hand, and after muttering a few syllables under his breath, Harry felt himself spinning for a few seconds and then the felt of a solid floor underneath him. He looked around and saw that he was in a warm looking, room the walls were covered with rich tapestries of battles, and magical creatures. Harry noticed that Dragons featured a lot in the Tapestries, as did Elves and Dwarfs. There was a Hugh fire roaring against the grate and around the fire there were seven broad backed leather chairs. Merlin pointed one to Harry who took the hint and sat down. Harry tired to speak but was silenced by a hand form Merlin. By the fire stood Merlin with his hands stretched upwards chanting in a low voice. This went on for a few seconds, as it was going on Harry felt the air thicken and time seemed to slow down for a second until it broke against its invisible dam and with a snap flew back, the snap Harry realized as he looked around was the arrival of other people, and now that Harry was looking closer he started to recognize them.
There was Sirius, Professor Dumbledore, Ron, Hermione and what looked like Ginny. They all appeared and looked around in amazement, unsurprisingly it was Professor Dumbledore who recovered first, and as he looked from Harry to Merlin, smiled a large benevolent smile. He stood and walked over to Merlin, the two venerable wizards hugged and exchanged greetings, then to Harry's surprise Dumbledore came over and hugged Harry, then it seemed that the others had recovered as all hell broke lose, everyone was shouting and asking questions. After a minute or so Merlin rose his hand and said in one low note 'Silence'. The effect was amazing; everyone stopped talking and looked at him.
Merlin looked into their faces and chuckled at their expressions, then he started the long tale,
'Do not worry fare people, for no harm shall come to you in this room, on the contra you will leave better than you came in.' this got everyone's attention and they watched and waited for him to continue '.My name is Merlin.' there was a chorus of gasps and the start of questions, but Merlin carried on without stopping '.I am here to tell you about the Sorcerer. Throughout history the line of my people has always been strong in magic, but there was a prophecy that there would be a sorcerer in the family. This would happen when the child had been orphaned and had attained his 15th year. This has happened and the Sorcerer has come into his power. There is one thing left for me to do, and that is bequeath my staff to my Heir. Harry would you step forward please.'
Harry took a few stumbling steps towards Merlin, who smiled and raised his hand. Suddenly a staff appeared there and glowed for a second. It was made of wood and had runes glowing along it. It was about 6 feet in length and had a large red gem set into the tip of it. Merlin looked at it and said 'I Merlin, Lord of Magic bequeath my staff and power to my Heir, the Sorcerer, Harry James Potter, the Lord now has come and let all the world rejoice for the forces of light have a new beacon to follow'. He then throw the staff at Harry who caught it instinctively and screamed as the power flowed through him, he was dimly aware of Sirius trying to get to him, but was being restrained by Dumbledore. Then the power subsisted and Harry looked down at the staff, there were no longer any runes on it, but as he looked he could see that they were now running along his arm.
He was awoke form his dream like state by Merlin talking to him. 'Now Harry just sit down and I will explain everything.' Harry sat down next to Sirius how started to stoke Harry head, in a fatherly way. Merlin smiled and started 'As I have just said Harry is a Sorcerer, a very powerful individual. He is no longer classed as wizard as he will know how to use the 'Arcanum Nobliyse' or High Magic. This is much more powerful than normal magic and has many other benefits. Unlike normal wizards who just use Magic, Harry is part of Magic and can create it, banish it, as well as use it' He looked at their stunned faces and continued to speak: '.Harry no longer need to know any spells, instead he just has to visualize the effect he wants and it will happen. You can also communicate with any living thing, including animals, plants trees even the mountains themselves. You can change your form at any time, into anything. All this can be done without your wand or your staff. The staff is more a status symbol put it will increase the power of your spells, when you use it. Lastly for you, young Harry, is the greatest and most demanding of your new gifts. You are now the Lord of the Dragons just as I was before you; the Elves and the Dwarfs of the land also owe you their allegiance and expect one or both to contact you very soon. Now I will tell each of your friends why I have called them' Harry took a sigh and looked shell-shocked, he hadn't taken everything in and was looking pale. Merlin went on 'Harry I have looked in your mind.' there was a brief scared look in Harry's eyes '.I have selected the four most important people in your life. To start with your two best friends Ronald and Hermione, I have looked into their minds and have made a very important decision. When I first received the power, there was a small coven witch I belonged too. There were four of us, my best friend Ramos his wife, Hondel and my wife Gytha. It was prophesized that this would happen in the new Lords time and I have seen it is true. Therefore I will speed things along a bit. I am going to speed time up for 4 years so that you will all be 18. This will cause your bodies and minds to become what destiny has decreed, if these are really the people who should be here then.we shall see. If this is successful this coven will be the same as the one in my time, Ron and Hermione will be wedded as will Harry and Ginny. This is a lot to undertake but it is necessary. Are you prepared for me to do this? But be warned there may be a brief, odd sensation as your emotions, mind and body adjust.' The four frightened teenagers looked at each other and nodded, Merlin and the other to men smiled. Then there was a flash and Harry looked to the side to see a beautiful, red headed woman, who was looking up at him with the same love in her eyes. He grasped at her hand and felt a chink as two rings met each other, then to Harry's surprise she giggled and pointed over to Ron and Hermione, who were still staring at each other. They heard a cough and looked up to see Merlin, Dumbledore and Sirius looking over at them with a amused expression. Dumbledore then said out loud: 'Well, I'll go and get the Weaslys and the Grangers together and I'll explain what's happened' 'When you have meet your family and your new family then your bodies will change back to 15 year olds so you will be able to mingle in school again. You each have become powerful mages and will find your work easier' Merlin turned back to Harry who was still looking at Ginny and said: 'Harry there is one downside to this power and our bloodline, and it is very important and dangerous.' Harry looked frightened and the others crowded around him to comfort him, Ginny not letting go of his hand. '.I am sorry my son, I wish I didn't pass this on but it can't be helped.' Ginny drew up tighter Harry and increased her grip on his hand '.you will be cursed for ever to.grow a beard.' The others looked at him for a second before he could take it no longer. Merlin the greatest wizard ever was there doubled up from laughter leaning on Sirius for support who was threatening to pass out form the look on Harry's face. 'The, hehaah, look on your face is priceless.' Sirius snorted between laughter. Harry looked at them for a second then said 'What do you mean I'll have to grow a beard?' Well its one of those things in our bloodline, you have to develop a long beard and long hair, its because of my unruly hair to start with, a tried to make it better with a spell which unfortunately went wrong and cursed me and all my descendeds' Harry stood shocked for a moment, then a smile played across his face and he too started to laugh at the irony of it, soon they were all laughing and leaning on each other for support.
Merlin then said that it was time to go and see their family's who had been told about the new arrangements. They all teleported to Hogwarts were the others were gathered. As they teleporting in there was a chorus of shouts and everyone except Sirius and Harry, who were standing to one side, were caught up in hugs and kisses. After fifteen minutes of this Merlin called for silence. 'As you now know, your children have changed a lot, but know I wish to introduce the properly. First I call Mr. and Mrs. Potter to come and take their seats here' Harry and Ginny made their way to the high table, glancing looks at the various family members, Harry was worried in case they were angry in what had happened, but he could only see smiles, that, to Harrys shock, included Percy. He looked at Ginny who smiled and kissed him lightly on the check, and they made their way up to the chairs and sat down. Then Hermione and Ron came up to the same kind of reception. Now you know what has happened to your children, that they are safe and sound and that they are together as a group. I would ask you not to ask them any questions till tomorrow, and I now suggest that we all go to bed it has been a long day and the school opens in two days so we should let the young couples have some time to themselves' Merlin then winked slyly at them making them all blush much to the amusement of the other people in then room.
