A/N: As always, not mine, its Rowling's, the only thing I own is the plot!

Chapter 09

Two days passed and Draco was allowed to get out of the hospital wing. He is now healed but still sore, he was supposed to be staying there a little bit longer, but thanks to his constant nagging Madam Promfrey got fed up and let him go. Harry, Ron and Hermione had agreed with him to meet outside of the hospital wing and go straight to the headmaster's office.

"What's taking him so long?" Ron asked, getting annoyed

"Ron will you please stop and be patient" Hermione said

"Yeah Weasley keep your pants on" sneered Draco Malfoy from behind

Ron looked at him and sneered then went ahead to the headmaster's office, with Harry following behind who glanced at them smiling. Hermione went to Draco and smiled at him and he pecked her cheek in return, which made Hermione blushed.

When they arrived at the gargoyle, all of them realized one thing.

"Er. what's the password?" Draco asked

"Well, usually it's some kind of sweets" Hermione said

"Umm okay, Licorices Wands" Ron started

Nothing

"Sugar Quills" Harry tried

Nothing

"Cockroach Crunchies" said Hermione, much to her disgust

Nothing

"Acid Pops!" shouted Draco getting irritated

Much to their surprise the gargoyle jumped aside and let them pass. They went up to the revolving stair case and then knocked on Dumbledore's door. It opened and they entered to find the headmaster looking down at them with twinkling eyes from the stairs beside the bookcase.

"Ahh, I see Mr. Potter you have gathered your comrades, now would you like to do the test?" the headmaster said

They all nodded, as the headmaster went to get the sorting hat. He took it and placed it on his desk and nodded at the four. They went forward as the headmaster started to speak.

"As you know there are Four Founder's of Hogwarts, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. Each of these Founders has a weapon and each of these weapons can be used by their heirs. Tom Riddle who is known as the Heir of Slytherin chose the path of Darkness. The moment he did, he was replaced by a true heir who will use the weapon of Salazar in the name of the Light. All the heirs will only use these weapons only to defend the Light and only the Light. Only the true heir will be the one who will pull it out from the Sorting Hat if they asked it to. Remember, everybody at Hogwarts will be helped if the for it, now let us begin" the headmaster said sternly

"Now, Mr. Potter, come and concentrate on asking for help and extend your arm toward the Sorting Hat" the headmaster said.

Harry did this, his eyes closed and his palm wide. Then without warning something was shimmering inside the sorting hat. Harry opened his eyes and put his had in the Sorting Hat to take it out. A sword emerged from the hat which was encrusted with rubies and was shining to the light.

"Mr. Weasley, you next" said Dumbledore as Harry stepped back, still holding the sword.

Ron did the same thing as Harry did before and concentrated. But this time he put his Sorting Hat. Moments later Ron's eyes snapped open and he pulled out an axe. It was encrusted with topazes on the handle and on the edge. I have a big blade; about 15 inches long and has a firm handle.

"Well done Mr. Weasley, now it's confirmed, you are the Heir of Hufflepuff. Now Ms. Granger, please step forward"

Ron stepped back still looking at the axe in awe, while Hermione stepped forward looking anxious.

"Ms. Granger, come on now don't be nervous, just do what Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley did" said the headmaster

Hermione sighed deeply as she closed her eyes and concentrated with her arm extended. Not long after that, her eyes opened slowly and she put her hand in the Sorting Hat to find a bunch of arrows that are engraved with sapphires on both ends. She took on out and the place where the arrow used to be was replaced with another arrow. Then, she took the bow which was also engraved with sapphires that was shimmering as the light deflected on it.

"Ms. Granger is confirmed to be Ravenclaw's Heir and one more thing, the arrows are infinite, which means you don't have to worry about running out of it in time of battle" Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling.

Hermione nodded and went to Harry and Ron as Draco moved forward and stood in front of the Sorting Hat. Without even waiting for Dumbledore, he put his hand inside the hat and closed his eyes. Not even 5 seconds after, he pulled out a sword much like Harry's; except it was curved, which was encrusted by emeralds. He smirked and stepped back taking place beside Hermione, who smiled at him.

Dumbledore looked at Draco and smiled, "Well done Mr. Malfoy, Heir of Slytherin, now that that's cleared up, you will be able to summon you weapon's in times of need, all you need to do is concentrate also you have to do that when you want them to disappear" he said.

The four of them nodded and concentrated on making there weapon's disappear. Slowly the weapon's began to dissolve from their hands until in was gone.

"One more thing" said the headmaster, "You will be given special classes to help you train in use of your weapons"

"Who will teach us?" Harry asked.

"You will know as soon as it's arranged" the headmaster replied

They all nodded and left the headmaster's office, leaving Dumbledore grinning from ear to ear
