I bet I left you hanging didn't I?! Well here it is, Chapter 6!
Chapter 6: Heirlooms
"Yes sir," Harry said," Over the holidays, I recieved a letter stating that my family heirloom was at the Crater. Do you know anything about it?"
"I'm afraid I do," Dumbledore said," I sent you that letter. Your heirlooms are indeed at the Crater."
"What are there?" Harry asked curiously. Dumbledore stood up, went over to his abnormaly large book case and took a thick, leather bound book. As he sat down, Harry caught the title:-
The Heirlooms Of Important Familes
Volume 17:- The Potter Family, The Malfoy Family And The Riddle Family.
Dumbledore opened the book, and searched for something. When he had found it, he turned the book around so Harry could see it, and pointed at a large picture of an Amulet and a Ring. The Amulet looked magnificent. It was a large-ish, round circle made out of Gold with Silver around the edges. At the very heart of it, was set a large Ruby, which was surrounded by Silver. The Ring was just as beautiful, Gold and Silver, with the Potter family crest, a Stag, a Lion, a large Sword and a Lily flower on a shield.
"There are two here," Harry said," The letter said there was one."
"Well, one is actually the Black Family heirloom, and as Sirius left everything to you, you get his heirloom."
"I get everything that Sirius owned?" Harry asked, bewildered," Why didn't I know?"
"A letter was sent to you during the holidays, didn't you get it?" Dumbledore asked. Harry shook his head. Dumbledore thought for a few seconds before carrying on," Anyway, the Amulet is Sirius's, and the Ring is yours."
"The letter also said that I had to go from Zenda Castle," Harry said," But the Dursleys didn't sign my slip."
"You are going, regardless of wether they signed it or not," Dumbledore said," You have to go."
"Cool," Harry said," So what do the heirlooms actually do? Are they special?"
"Yes," Dumbledore said," Let me explain. Hundreds of years ago, there were three large familys, rather like the four founders of Hogwarts.
There were the Black family, the Potter family and the Riddle family. Your ancestor, Sameth Potter, was the head of the Potters. He was the wisest of them. But he was also half Riddle, as his mother was Potter only by marrage. This angered him, and he wanted to do something about it.
So he created a Ring, and enriched it with his magical energy. The Ring can provide knowledge to anyone that posses it, but in the hands of a true Potter, it can do alot more. The Black family's Amulet can provide truth, and in the hands of a true Black, it too could do alot more than that. The Riddle family's Crystal Snake can provide power, and in the hands of a true Riddle, it had the power to take over the world."
Harry nodded as in agreement," So, Voldemort will try to get the Crystal Snake?"
"It seems so," Dumbledore said," He would have complete power over everything."
"What am I meant to do?" Harry asked," I can't stop that can I?"
"You are stronger than you think Harry," Dumbledore said," While you may think that I am maybe more powerful than you, I am not. You have powers that I will never have. For example, I have talked to you about the 'Power Of Love'. I have never experienced love, yet you have. If Miss Weasley loves you truly, there is nothing you can't do."
Harry didn't speak for a while, he was trying to take this in. He didn't understand how he could be stronger than Dumbledore. It wasn't right.
"I don't believe it," Harry said quitely," It's impossible! How am I stronger than you! I'm seventeen and God knows how old you are!"
"Age isn't everything Harry," Dumbledore replied simply. Harry opened his mouth, then shut it. He jumped up and walked over to the door. He tried opening it, but it wouldn't.
"Let me out," Harry said, fingering his wand. Dumbledore shook his head and Harry whipped his wand out.
"I'll hex you," Harry warned. Dumbledore said nothing. Harry turned back to the door and shouted," Reducto!" The Curse hit the door and fizzled out. Harry tried many other things, but to no effect, the door would not budge.
An anger built up in Harry like none other before. It felt like he was burning inside. His body went rigid, it was like something was possesing him. He turned around, and saw Dumbledore's face. It was a mixture of shock and horror. Harry turned to a huge mirror, and realised why. His face had changed, it was a purple colour. His pupils had gone white, and as he looked, he could feel something producing from his back. Large, devil like wings grew, Harry saw them and fell backwards. He glanced out of the window, before he had came up, it was a lovely sunny day, with clear blue skys and not a cloud in sight. Now it was stormy, a low rumble of thunder could be heard and large forks of lightning appeared now and then.
Harry tried to speak, but all that came out of his mouth were hisses. He was talking Snake language freely. Harry went over to the door and smacked it. The door splintered, so Harry hit it again. This time it snaped. Harry ran down the stone steps, then took flight. He flew over the Forbidden Forest and the Lake. He flew over to the Mountains and landed. He had no idea how he had just flew then, but now he didn't care about anything apart from...... A round face flashed infront of his eyes. It had long, green-ish hair and large blue eyes. Harry could see Ginny before him. He blinked, but nothing was there. He started to calm down and he could feel the wings going. He found a pool of rain and looked in to it. His face was turning the usual pale colour, and his eyes turned back to their normal green self.
"W-what?" He croaked," What have I become?" Harry found a large boulder and sat down.
After a few hours, he heard noises. He hid behind the boulder and looked over to the source of the noise. A group of teachers had come up the path.
"Potter!" Professor Flitwick squeaked," Potter! Where are you?"
"Leave me alone," Harry replied," Go away." The teachers looked up and saw Harry's head, poking out from the side of the boulder.
"Potter!" Professor McGonagall shouted," Come here!"
"No," Harry said defiantly," I'm not safe to be around."
"Harry?" A voice called out. Harry looked up again and saw Ginny. Oh great, he thought to himself, now Ginny's involved.
"Ginny, go away," Harry shouted," I don't want to hurt you." He could hear her footsteps getting closer. She bent down and looked him in the eye.
"Harry, I don't care what you just were," Ginny whispered," All I care about is what you are now. You are Harry, my Harry." She pulled him into a hug and rested against him. He looked down at the youngest Weasley and smiled for the first time in ages. He was truly lucky to have her in his life.
"Thanks Ginny," Harry said, and hugged her tighter. They both got up, and walked back over to the teachers. They all smiled and leaded them back down the path. Ginny and Harry followed them, hand in hand.
A/N: So, what did you think? Was it good, or was it bad? I personally thought it was a bit rubbish, as I'm trying to get a good starting to my actual mid way plot type thingy, and I'm rushing it a bit. If you think that to, send me a review and I'll try calm it down.
Oh yeah and I'd just like to say two more things-
1: This story has the same amount of reviews as my other story, 'Harry Potter and The Fortress Of Shadows,' and that one is complete! But this one has nicer reviews!
2: Happy Birthday to my lovely girlfriend Annabelle!! She is my inspiration for these Harry/Ginny moments, and without her, I don't think my life would be complete. I love you lots Annabelle!!
I bet I left you hanging didn't I?! Well here it is, Chapter 6!
