Danny: I'm glad you like the story and their abilities. I have been trying to make the chapters longer.
uten: you will find the answer to your question in this chapter.
Amscray: Sorry to disappoint you hopefully this chapter will make up for it. Hermione was a tough one for me to write but rest assured we have not heard the last from her on this subject. As for molly's non-reaction to Narcissa being there. The members of the order know she has been tutoring Harry so no surprise that she would be there with him. Didn't mind the long review was just surprised is all.
Shadowface: You will have to see what happens to Ron.
Mirai Diavolo: All we are is dust in the wind. I hope it's in time and enjoy the vacation.
TimGold: Yes more reactions. We have not heard from the most important two yet.
Be0t: I do try to make longer chapters but they don't seem to end up that way.
ERMonkey: No it's not to late but the vote is for evil or good.
f: I will.
Enelya Elendil: Glad you liked it. Oh my god I haven't even finished this one and you want a sequel. LOL
Aagwyn: Thanks. I will try.
ChrismKing208: You will have to wait and see.
Gorgena: Yes it is funny that Harry is now Draco's step father.
Ms.Marvel: Sorry but as it stands he is going to be bad. I hope this is soon enough for you as I have just read your review and that I'm now going to post this chapter.

Chapter 16 Happy Birthday
Harry awoke sometime later to find himself alone in the parlor. He frowned and asked himself. Why didn't she wake me when she did? Harry decided to go to the kitchen. As he walked threw the door to the kitchen he heard.
"Surprise Harry Happy Birthday!"
Harry was shocked at what he saw. His friends and all of the order members where there the only one missing he noticed was Snape. All though he also noticed that Ron seemed to be sulking in the corner. The room was decorated with red and gold streamers and balloons. And the table was covered with food.
"WOW!" Said Harry. "I thought you all had forgotten." Narcissa walked over to him and wrapped him up in a hug. "That was part of the plan my dear husband. I wanted it to be a surprise." They started to hear murmurs all around them.
She released Harry and took his hand into hers and intertwined their fingers. "Yes you heard right Harry is my husband. We got married at Hogwarts last night." The murmurs started getting louder.
Then they heard someone sobbing and they saw Tonks run out of the room. "I'm going to see if she is OK." Harry said to Narcissa. She motioned for him to go.
Harry looked all over until he found Tonks in her room. He knocked on the door and asked. "Tonks may I come in?" She sighed wiping the tears from her eyes and said. "Yes you may come in Harry." Harry walked over and sat next to her on the bed.
"Tonks I know that you are in love with me but there are some things you need to understand." He took her hand into his and continued. "There was a prophecy that stated that me and Narcissa had to fall in love or the prophecy that the order was guarding for the past year would not go in our favor."
He sighed. "Now do you remember the spell that hit Narcissa." She nodded her head. "Well it was my kiss that revived Narcissa not Snape's. I'm her one true love not him."
"So you're saying I never had a chance to be with you?" She asked him sounding defeated. "I'm sorry Tonks but you're right you never did have a chance once me and Narcissa meet." He looked into her sad eyes and said. "Tonks I want you to know that I will always have a special place in my hart for you." He smiled at her and said. "Because you know Tonks you are my favorite niece."
She smacked him on the arm and smiled at him. "I'm your only niece you prat." She informed him. She than handed him a small package and said. "Happy birthday Uncle Harry." Emphasizing the word uncle.
Harry opened the package to find a necklace with a phoenix pendent on it. The phoenix had its wings spread and was made of white gold. It had an inscription on the back that read. May the Great Firebird protect you and your loved ones. "The inscription is an old blessing handed down from the time of Merlin." She told him.
"Wow Tonks this is amazing I will treasure it always." He gave her a hug. "I'm glad you it Uncle Harry." She started giggling. "You know Harry this kind of funny calling you uncle." A big grin appeared on his face and said. "You know what Tonks your right." He got off the bed and dragged her with him. "Now let's get back to the party."
When they got back they found that everyone had stated eating already so they joined in. After a few minuets Narcissa joined him and asked. "How did she take it?"
"She took the news well I think. I explained a little about the prophecy and about the curse that Malfoy used on you. Then she had a good laugh over me being her uncle. How did it go out here." She sighed. "They are not happy with our marriage but they are not going to say anything because it's your birthday but I suspect that we will be hearing there protests come tomorrow."
"Time for birthday cake!" He heard some one yell. So they gathered around the cake and sang happy birthday to harry and he blew out the candles. His wish was that they would all make it threw this war alive and well.
The presents came next. Most of the order chipped in and got him a trunk like the fake Mad-Eye Moody had in his forth year.
From Hermione he got an updated version of Hogwarts A History. She told him she gave it to him so she didn't have to keep on quoting from it. He laughed and thanked her. From Ron he received a chocolate frog when he thanked him for it Ron just snorted and walked away. Harry could tell this was going to be like forth year.
Ginny got him a new wristwatch, which she told him it was charmed to be waterproof. He thanked her and immediately put on his wrist. The twins gave him samples of all there products. He told them that he would put them to good use. The rest of the Weasleys gave him a new set of dark green dress robes and three every day robes. Which where colored red, dark blue, and black. Moody gave him a wand holster.
Next came Dumbledore's gift. He handed him the Sword of Gryffindor. "The sheath Harry is my present to you. It is charmed to keep the blade sharp and polished." Harry pulled the sword from its sheath to admire it. He felt a serge of power go threw him. His head was spinning he than collapsed to the floor. The last thing he heard before becoming unconscious was Narcissa screaming his name.
"Harry...Harry...wake up Harry." Said a very soothing female voice. "Harry you need to wake up so I can tell you about the powers of the sword."
Harry slowly pulled him self up and looked around to find he was in Dumbledore's office except it was striped of every thing except for the books, his desk, and a portrait of a man wearing a set of robes with a lion on them. The man looked as if he could be a relative of his.
"Ahh I see you are finally awake." Said the same female voice he heard before. He looked around to find out who it was but found no one. "Who...who's there?" he asked. "I am the Spirit of the Sword Harry." Answered the voice from behind him. He turned around to see a woman that looked almost like Narcissa.
"It is a pleasure to meat you young Gryffindor." She bowed. He returned the bow. "I'm honored to meet you as well my lady."
"You are such a polite young man. Godric Gryffindor would be most pleased with his descendent." Harry's eyes and mouth went wide open at this revolution. "I'm a descendent of Godric Gryffindor." He said the shock evident in his voice. The lady just smiled at him and said. "Yes and because he is your ancestor that is where your elemental and teleportation abilities come from."
"Now we have a lot to do before you can leave so let us get started. Now I can only pull you here once so we have to make the most of our time together." She directed him to the center of the room. "We are going to concentrate on your elemental abilities. The skills I will teach you can be used to help your wife with her elements also."
"Can you tell me why she and myself have these abilities and how she is a Parselmouth now?" She nodded her head and simply said. "You." He gave her a confused look and asked. "What do you mean by that?"
"She has the Parselmouth ability because of the connection you share with her. As your wife her elemental abilities where activated to complement your own. As a result of your elemental abilities being activated both of your wandless magic ability was also activated."
For the next several hours Harry trained with the Spirit of the Sword. He found that his wind ability was easier to call forth than his fire ability. Also he found that the more complicated the spell was the more energy and concentration it took.
"Well Harry our time is almost up and there are a few things that I need to tell you about the sword. One it can be used as a wand. Two you can also use it in a limited fashion to channel for your elemental abilities. Three when you get back to Hogwarts it lead you Gryffindor's secret chamber. Now do you have any last questions for me?"
"Yes why is the elemental abilities limited threw the sword?" He asked. "Because you will have greater control and flexibility with out it but it takes less energy threw the sword." She answered. "OK next question what is in Gryffindor's secret chamber?"
"Sorry Harry but you will have to find that out on your own." Harry sighed. "OK one last thing what is the core in the sword that allows for it to be used as a wand?" She smiled at him and said. "The core of the sword comes from his Animagus form. Now Harry our time here is up. And even though you have been here several hours only a few minuets have passed in the out side world." She bowed to him again and said. "It was an honor and a privilege to meet you." He returned the gesture and said. "It was an honor to meet you as well my lady."
Harry awoke to find himself once again in the comforting arms of his wife. I could get used to this he thought. He looked to Narcissa's face and could see the tears streaming down her face. "Harry you need to stop doing this to me! I'm going to die of a heart attack if you keep this up!" He smiled up at her and snuggled up into her arms. "Oh I don't know I kind of like waking up like this." He whispered in a playful voice.
After it was determined that harry was OK they continued the party. Moony was next up to give harry his present. He handed Harry a small wooden box and said. "Harry your father gave me this and now I would like you to have it." Harry opened the box and found a golden snitch inside. "Wow Professor Lupin thanks."
The party continued for awhile longer until only Harry and Narcissa where left in the parlor. They where sitting in the chairs in front of the fireplace just starring into the fire until Harry asked. "I'm going to get a cup of tea would you like one." She nodded and said. "That would be great thanks Harry."
When he returned with the tray of tea what he saw broke his hart. Because standing in the middle of the room was his wife and Snape kissing.
Danny: I'm glad you like the story and their abilities. I have been trying to make the chapters longer.
