Chapter 20
In the first week of December Harry was in Transfiguration helping Ron with a hard transfiguration spell, when the entire class was interrupted. Silver flame appeared in the center of the classroom and in a second a silver phoenix appeared. Harry quickly recognized the phoenix as his old friend.
"Destiny!" Harry called out and she flew to him, landing on his shoulder.
"Potter, you know this phoenix?" McGonagall asked.
"Yes, she is mine. I was wondering what had happen to her." It was then that Harry noticed a note on Destiny's leg. Harry removed it and recognize the handwriting. "Professor, I need to read this in private. Can I leave now?" Harry asked.
"Yes, you may, I want to see you later," McGonagall said as Harry apparated with Destiny.
In his room Harry looked to his letter "Why did Merlin leave this letter with Destiny?" Harry thought as he opened the letter.
TO HARRY
Sorry, I know you wanted Destiny to stay with Shawnie, but five years after you left us, Shawnee your daughter, was attacked by an unknown magical creature, and was poisoned. Even though there was a spell to help her, it needed more power then I could ever have, so I could not save her, but I knew there was one person with more magic then me, and that is you Harry. I couldn't get you back to the past so I had gotten Shawnie's permission to put Shawnee into a death like sleep, where she will not age or completely die, in hopes you will find her and do the spells that would awaken her and remove the poison to finally save her life. I also did the same to Destiny, to only be awakened to protect the sleeping Shawnee or awaken three months after your return, I knew you would have gotten much stronger by then. I have high hopes you can do this, and please take care of my goddaughter. I know she will be a powerful witch.

PS; Shawnee is sleeping in the Evans crypt, on the unplotable land of Evans Manor, both spells to help her are with her, and good luck.
Harry read this three times and couldn't believe that he would have a chance to be with his daughter, but was interrupted by Destiny cooing. "Sorry, I know, lets head to Evans Manor," Harry said apologizing, Destiny looked like she wanted to help Shawnee now. Harry apparated them to the Manor.
Facing Evans Manor, Harry glanced around. "I wonder if the Grangers are around," Harry thought, but decided to head towards the crypt that was halfway from the manor to the forest that surrounded the house.
As Harry walked up to the stone crypt, he was hit with nerves. He knew Shawnie, Harry Jr., Shawnee, and his past self were in that crypt. He had known they were here, he had seen the crypt after he left the Grangers here, but during that time he was here he couldn't bring himself to go in, and now he must to save his daughter's life.
As Harry got even more nervous Destiny cooed again and it relaxed him enough to open the doors of the white building and he went inside.
Once in the crypt Harry was in a torch lit room. He noticed three white marble coffins lines up in front of him. He also noticed each of the coffins layed had a sleeping statue representing the person in it. "Shawnie, I miss you," Harry said, coming up to her coffin and placed his hand over it. A wreath of flowers appeared, covering a part of the coffin. "Goodbye Shawnie, I promise I'll be back." Harry kissed the statue's cheek, then turn to the others.
Harry looked at the middle coffin, he saw his statue had his golden armor on. "Wow, good likeness," Harry said, but shaking his head, he didn't feel right about being around his own coffin. He went to Harry Jr.'s.
"In loving memory of a great grandfather," one of the many inscriptions said beside his coffin.
"Wow, I have grand children." Harry smiled at the thought of being a great grandfather. "And I didn't get any gifts." Shaking his head at the thought he noticed something. "Where is Shawnee?" Her coffin was not here.
In the room there were just three coffins. The walls had torches and paintings of the occupants. Harry turned to Destiny. "Where is Shawnee? Please I want to help her," Harry begged his phoenix. Destiny gave Harry a nod and flew threw the wall to his right. "An illusion spell, she must be there." Harry then carefully checked the wall. He was right, it was a fake wall, then he walked right through.
Once on the other side Harry saw a four year old girl with messy black hair asleep on a nicely made bed. "Wow, she looks a lot like me, too bad about the hair." Harry smiled at her as he noticed two papers on the side table, one to awaken her, which was a simple spell, and the one to remove the poison, which had a note saying that he must put all his magic into the spell or it wouldn't work. Harry turned his wand into a staff and held it before Shawnee, saying the spell to awaken her.
Shawnee started to glow. When the glowing ended she was breathing, but at an irregular pattern. Harry said the second spell, putting all his magical powers into it, and then held it as he and Shawnee started to glow. A black fog rose from the glowing body of Shawnee, it was the poison being removed. Harry continued pouring magic into Shawnee until the black fog stopped coming from Shawnee's body. He banished the cloud and then fell to the floor unconscious.
As Harry came to he could feel someone looking at him. He opened his eyes to look straight into another pair of green eyes.
"Daddy, is that you?" Shawnee said in a child like voice.
"Shawnee, yes I am your daddy," Harry said, smiling as Shawnie wrapped her arms around Harry.
"DADDY, Uncle Merlin was right, I am going to live with you!" Shawnee said excitedly.
"Yes Shawnee, come let's get you home," Harry said, as happy as the little girl, he then got off the bed and helped Shawnee up as Destiny flew, singing happily about.
Once back in the room with the coffins, Shawnee looked scared. "Shawnee, it's alright, this is where your mom, my past self and your brother are sleeping," Harry said, hoping she would accept not seeing them again.
"I'm not going to see mommy or Harry again?" Shawnee said sadly.
"I'm afraid not, unless we visit them every now and then, but let's leave them flowers, alright?" Shawnee nodded, but before Harry could do a wandless spell Shawnee had waved her hand and the three coffins were covered with flowers.
"Shawnee, you can do magic?" Harry asked stunned. Shawnee gave a shy nod.
"I can do anything by just watching others do magic," Shawnee said, sounded scared of this fact.
"Oh Shawnee, I was just surprised," Harry said, hugging her. "No wonder Merlin had said she would the a powerful witch if she can this now," Harry thought. "Come, like I said it is alright, you can practice with me, but let's not have anyone see you doing magic alright?" Shawnee gave a nod. "Destiny, let's go to Hogwarts, meet me in my room." Destiny gave a chirp and was gone, then Harry apparated away with Shawnee.
