AN: OOTP events didn't happen. Sirius is still alive.
Chapter 2: Seventh Year
Danielle walked into the Gryffindor common room after the Sorting feast and sat down next to Harry after taking Jenny from him. They watched Ron and Hermione argue for a few minutes before they came over. They immediately tuned the rest of the students out as they discussed what was going on in their lives. Ron took one look around the common room and stood up. The others looked at him and he said, "The room seems to be a little crowded, if we want to hold a private conversation."
They could see that the other students were looking at them curiously, so they quickly left the room before they started talking about the more important topics. They walked down to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom in silence and after they spoke to her for a few minutes, Harry said, "In the name and honour of Salazar Slytherin, I ask that you open." The sink that led down into the Chamber of Secrets revealed stairs for them to use. Once they were down there, Harry opened the door and they walked into the main room where they sat down.
"Okay, so what you're trying to say is that we have to remove the powers that Voldemort had received from being Salazar's heir. One question, WHY?" Danielle asked.
Harry groaned, "I told you, Riddle isn't Salazar's heir. At least not the blood heir. Riddle would be the magical heir, which means that whatever he received, can be taken away. Once that happens, a new person becomes the magical heir. By doing this, we can take some of Riddle's power away, which means that he won't be as powerful."
She sighed and after looking at the other two, agreed with what he was saying.
They stayed in the chamber until midnight, when Harry sat in the middle of a pentagram with the other three surrounding him while holding white candles. After he began to chant, they started to spread out as they joined him in chanting.
Reversus Powerus Ancestrus
Ancestor choose another heir
Reversus Powerus Ancestrus
Be guided and help us in our dark times
The flash of white light that surrounded them was a surprise to them. As it was fading, the flames from the candles flared high enough to reach the ceiling. They all stared at the walls as writing appeared in flowing script. They were even more surprised when the writing read It is Done.
They shook their heads as the writing disappeared and Ron turned to Harry. "Well. Who do you think is going to be Salazar's next magical heir?"
Harry smirked, "To be honest, after everything that has happened, I believe that the powers will belong to Ginny."
Danielle and Hermione waited for Ron's reaction. He thought it over, than shrugged. "That isn't a problem with me. I don't mind her being Salazar's magical heir. After everything that had happened to her in her first year, it really isn't that much of a surprise."
They noticed that it was after midnight, which meant that it was after curfew. Rather than leaving the way they came in, they orbed out of the Chamber and into the corridor just outside of the Fat Lady's painting. Harry spoke the password "Marauders reign" and they bypassed the common room in order to go up to their separate dorms.
The next morning they headed down to the Great Hall where they found Ginny with the rest of the seventh year Gryffindors and the DA. Ron and Harry listened to the others while Dane and Mia listened to the rest of the students. They all noticed that the teachers seemed to be worried about something, but they knew that when the headmaster stood up they were going to be told.
"The ministry has decided that we need to test everyone's blood. The potion that the blood will be added to will write that student's biological parents. This will allow us to know that everyone knows who their parents are," Dumbledore said.
Harry turned to the other three, as Dane shook her head in despair, even thoughthey all knew that something likethis is what would cause their secret to be released. They turned back to listen to Dumbledore again as he told them that each year would be having their blood be taken by house. They also learned that the blood would be placed into the potion when they took the blood and that this would be happening in the Great Hall when all of the students and the teachers were there.
Ron spoke to Ginny about going with them to the Room of Requirement to talk. They left the Great Hall and when they got to the Room, they sat down and started to talk. Ginny looked back and forth between the four of them as they decided to only tell her about the possibility that she was Salazar's heir.
"Well, what did you want to talk to me about?" she asked.
Harry smirked, "How would you feel about the possibility of you being Salazar Slytherins' next magical heir? This would mean inheriting all of his talents and abilities like being good at potions and being able to speak parseltongue."
Her jaw dropped, "You're serious about this aren't you? Well, to be honest, I would love it."
She watched as the others smiled in relief. She asked, "Why did the four of you look so nervous when Dumbledore made his announcement?"
They looked at her guiltily and she shook her head in annoyance. She was soon told that she would find out whenever the rest of the students and all of the staff found out. She scowled at them in annoyance before they started to teach her how to fight using different swords. It was four days later when they were in the Great Hall that Harry had to have his blood placed into the potion.
Dumbledore was about to place the blood in the potion when the alarms started to ring. He stood up and started to tell everyone to calm down when Harry went over to Ron, Ginny, Hermione and Danielle. The headmaster and all of the rest of the schoolstared in shock as Harry said, "Alright guys. We all know what to do."
