Chapter Two

More Surprises

The golden letters started to fade along with the blinding white light. He looked in front of

him and realized Harry was not in Number four, Privet Drive anymore. The room was enormous and it

seemed to be some sort of common room. There were portraits of five people on the far wall above the

fireplace. On the very right was a woman who had long, dark, black hair and bright green eyes not

unlike his own. Her robes were blues, lined at the cuffs with silver and along the bottom were silver

runes. To the left of her portrait was a man with dark brown hair and bright blue eyes. His robes were similar to the woman with the exception of the colours. His robes were crimson lined with gold. On the very left was a kind looking woman, not unlike Mrs. Weasley, who had shoulder length red hair and merry brown eyes. The colours of her robes were yellow and black. To the right of that portrait was another man who had black eyes, which reminded him slightly of Hagrid, and black, quite messy hair. The robes of this man were green with silver lining. In the centre was the portrait of a man. He had long white hair and a beard that could rival that of Dumbledore's. His robes were a midnight blue and there were the shapes of stars covering the robes. He supposed they were supposed to look like the night sky.



He looked around the room. It was magnificent! Around the fire place, faced away from Harry, there

were four crimson couches and a large midnight blue chair. That was when he noticed that the whole

room was decorated in gold and crimson, Gryffindor colours. The only thing that was different was the

chair that was facing the fireplace. He looked behind him and saw a pair of magnificent oak doors that had vines carved into them. The ceiling he noticed was charmed like the one in the Great Hall, to show the sky outside. It was dark, stars were dotting the bare sky.



He searched the room once more and realised he was not alone, as the other person in the room realised she was not alone.



"Ginny?" he inquired. "Is that you?"



"Harry?" she replied.



"You look," he paused looking for the right word. She had changed quite a bit in the month he hadn't

seen her. "Um. Different."



"I'm not the only one." she grinned looking at Harry and blushed.



"I wonder where we are." he mused, looking around for a clue.



"It's beautiful!" she exclaimed.



"Yea, like the common room but better." he said looking around again.



Over by the fireplace they heard a meowing. They rushed over to see a white cat with bright blue eyes. That wasn't the only thing they saw. There were the people they saw in the portrait and, "Lys?" Harry asked, open mouthed.



She smiled and said, "Hello Harry and Ginny. We were wondering when you would find us."



Ginny got over the shock and asked, "Where are we?"

"We can get to that later." Lys said excitedly. "I would like to introduce you to your ancestors."

"Ancestors?!"

"Yes. The one in the green is Salazar Slytherin, in the red is Godric Gryffindor. Over there on the

couch in the yellow is Helga Hufflepuff and in the blue is Rowena Ravenclaw." She finished and looked

over to see both their mouths hanging open. "Oh yes. Last but not least. Merlin!"

Both of them stood there too dumbfounded to speak. As soon as Harry got his voice back he asked, "Why are you here Lys?"

"I have not been totally honest with you Harry." She said sadly. "You two had better sit down."

As soon as they sat down he asked, "What is it?"

"Ginny. You are not really a Weasley. And, your mother and father were mine and my husbands best

friends. My husband, your mother and I are supposedly dead. Your father has been thought to have

betrayed us for the last fifteen years." By the end of her explanation she looked very sad.

Ginny looked frantic, "Are you sure?! This can't be happening! Who are my parents?" She almost yelled. She put her face in her hands and started to cry. "What will everyone say?"

Harry put an arm over her and started to comfort her, "It'll be alright Ginny. They will still love

you no matter what. You have been their daughter and sister for thirteen years already. I doubt this

will change how they feel about you."

Ginny lifted her tear stained face to meet Harry's brilliant green eyes and asked, "You really think

so?"

"I'm sure of it." He said and gave her a reassuring smile.

She gave him a Mrs. Weasley sized hug and said softly into his shoulder, "Thank-you." She pulled back

from his embrace and smiled, although she was still sad.

They turned their heads back to the six adults and saw them grinning like madmen. They suddenly

blushed and asked, "What?"

"Oh never mind. Harry, I want to show you something." She motioned her hand towards the cat to come to her. When the cat came over and sat down beside her she took her wand out of her pocket and muttered, "Finite Incantem." She started to change, but before she was finished she did the same thing to the cat and he started to grow, similar to what had happened to Peter Pettigrew when Sirius and Professor Lupin had changed him back. When everything had finished Harry was shocked to say the least. In front of him was a tall woman with red hair and green eyes like his own. She had on light green robes. She was smiling in a motherly way at Harry and looked like she wanted to hug him and never let him go. Beside her was a man with unruly black hair and slightly darker blue eyes than when he was a cat. He had dark blue robes on. He realised why he had somehow recognised Lys. In front of him were standing Lily and James Potter, his parents.

Ginny was shocked and was gaping. She looked like a fish. But, Harry was beyond shocked.

"How?" Was all he could say.

"I'm so sorry Harry." They said and they both scooped him up into a huge hug. Lily had tears in her

eyes and was close to crying. They broke apart and they started to explain.

"Harry I am a true Seer and for a while I saw Voldemort coming with the intention of killing us, but

not succeeding" She started. "It puzzled me to no end. It wasn't until later that I Saw how we would

survive."

"I would transfigure a piece of furniture to look like me and command it to duel with Voldemort and I

would transfigure myself into a cat like you saw I was not too long ago." James continued for her. "

Lily is an elf and when she was hit by the killing curse she was not killed because elves are

immortal. Instead, she was taken to elf havens for training. She needed to be trained in the ways of

the elves. Time is different there, for her it only seemed to be one year but here it was fourteen

years. As for where I have been, these five, behind me came and brought me here to stay until it was

time. And Ginny I think you will like your parents."

"Who are they?" She asked anxiously, wanting to know who her parents were.

Lily walked over and sat down beside Harry and grinned at him as to say he knew this person. Harry

gasped and said, "Really?" She put her arm around him and nodded.

"Ginny. Your parents are Sirius Black and Katrina Figg. And before you say anything Sirius is

innocent. Peter Pettigrew framed him." She added seeing Ginny's surprised face. She turned to Harry

and said, "Harry. I think you know Katrina, not too well I'm afraid. She's posing as Mrs. Arabella

Figg her mother who you knew. You know her as Mrs. Figg." She looked towards James and nodded.

"Bella. Sirius. You can come in!" He shouted towards the door and they flew open. In walked none other than Harry's godfather, Sirius Black and a woman with red hair and brown eyes. She had a huge smile on her face when her eyes fell on Ginny and she quickened her pace. Sirius was looking much healthier than the last time Harry saw him and his blue eyes, once again, had their mischievous twinkle again. They both walked over to Ginny and he was happy to see another family reunited.

Sirius parted from the group and came over to Harry who gave him an enormous hug.

"Did you know my parents were still alive?" Harry asked.

"I did and I knew about Ginny but I had a temporary memory charm put on me." He answered sadly.

"Personally I think you two took all this quite well. I'm surprised." He grinned and ruffled Harry's

already messy hair.

"It'll probably sink in later." He replied trying but failing to smooth out his hair.

"What happened to you? Looks like you've been workin' out." He said looking Harry over.

"No. The Dursleys thought I should pay for what the twins did to Dudley last summer. Then he tells me

to get a job. The stupid, fat git." Harry said then got a huge grin on his face, "Do I still have to

go back there?"

"Of course not!" His mother said, "James can transfigure some furniture to look like us and send it to the library tomorrow morning." By then she was grinning mischievously.

"Uh-oh." Sirius teased Lily, "She's planning something. Um. Let me think. It's a, it's a.. Prank!"

Lily sighed and said, "Some things never change." She grinned and pulled out her wand, "Including me!" She muttered something and a pink light out of her wand and changed Sirius' hair pink. Everyone was laughing at Sirius, who was unable to get the charm off. "Now.. Onto my prank. I heard those twins make pranks. And if I'm correct in assuming, they sent you some. Now am I right Harry?"

Harry grinned and answered, "Of course they did and I was thinking the same thing."

After a long time of silence Ginny squealed, excitedly, "This is going to be so fun." Causing many

shocked faces to turn towards her. "What? You can't grow up with the school prankster and not have it

rub off on you." She defended herself.

"Another generation of marauders. Just what we need, eh Lil." Katrina said looking at Lily and

winking. This caused Lily to laugh and Harry and Ginny start to become suspicious.

Behind them, someone cleared their throat loudly and said, "We should leave the pranks until later. We need to focus on the matter at hand." Merlin said pointing his wand at Sirius changing his hair back. His eyes were twinkling clearly amused by how the parent were acting just as childish as the children."Now, Harry and Ginny. I think you must be wondering where you are and why you are here. Am I right?"

They both nodded.

"As you know, you two are our heirs. You are the only two to ever be all five of our heirs. We will be transferring our knowledge into you to help with your new powers and to help defend yourselves against Voldemort. Also, we each have some heirlooms for you. Salazar, if you please." Merlin explained.

Salazar moved forward with two hoops made out of silver. Once he took a close look he saw they were in the shape of a snake. He smiled and told them, "Hold out your hands." They did so and the snakes

slithered up their arms and wrapped themselves around their arms. "These make it so no one can detect

any magic you use. It may come in very useful." He said with a grin clearly thinking about pranks on

the Dursleys. "Now I will transfer all my knowledge onto you two." He closed his eyes and pointed his

hands toward them. A green and silver beams shot out the ends of his fingers. When they his them they

felt a warmth and remember things they never knew about. Salazar stepped back and motioned for Godric

to come forward.

Godric stood up and walked over until he was standing in front of both of them. "The chains around

your necks helped you to come here. They will also let you communicate with any of us at any time."

Godric closed his eyes and pointed his hands at them. The same thing happened only the beams were gold and crimson. They felt the same feeling as before only they started to feel slightly different. They didn't have time to wonder as Rowena came forward with two eggs.

"These are Griffin eggs. They will hatch soon and will protect you from then on. You will need to put

them in these." She said beaming with pride as she conjured two boxes lined with velvet. They placed

the eggs in the boxes and set them down on one of the tables beside the couches. She did the same as

Godric and Salazar the only difference was the beams of light were blue and silver. Again they got an

odd feeling that they were different somehow. "You two were already Seers to some point. I have made

your powers stronger. I will also be teaching everyone here how to keep their minds safe." She said

with a smirk. As Rowena sat down Helga stood up in front of them.

"My gift to you is the ability to understand all animals. Magical and non-magical." She did the same

as had been done three times before only the beams that came from her fingers were yellow and black.

Again they felt different somehow, but shrugged it off as they saw Merlin stand up.

Instead of holding his hands out towards them he put his palms to their foreheads and they felt power

they had never felt before flow into their bodies. When he took his hands away their bodies felt like

they had changed. They felt stronger.

"You two are the prophesied two. You are the most powerful witch and wizard on the planet and you

will fight whatever evil will come. You are the heir of five and more. You do not only have our

powers, but powers beyond that of any being that has ever existed. Try to do anything I'm sure you

will be able to. I suggest not to tonight, it may be too overwhelming. You will see us all again

tomorrow and Harry there is something waiting for you in your room I'm sure you'll be overjoyed to

get." Merlin told them smiling with pride at his heirs that are destined for greatness. "Before you

leave Happy Birthday and 'principialis aspectus'." He finished and they felt themselves again

changing.

Ginny spoke up and said, "It's not my birthday, sir."

"Call me grandfather and yes it is your true birth date. You are also fifteen not fourteen. You

couldn't be the same age as Ronald could you, that is unless you were twins." He smiled at the girl

who had had so many things about herself changed in one night. She was taking it quite well

considering the circumstances. "Now goodnight you two. Have a good sleep."

Even though they both were bursting with questions when Merlin lifted his arms into the air high

above his head and the bright light was again consuming them, they knew that they would have to wait

until next time they met.

As the light got so bright they couldn't see anything but a blinding white, they felt themselves

falling into a deep, deep sleep.
