The Heir of Godric Gryffindor

Summary: What if someone other than Harry was the Heir of Gryffindor? What if it was Hermione?

Notes: I have decided that the idea of Harry being the Heir of Godric Gryffindor has been milked for all it's worth and it's time for someone else to be in the spotlight for that!

Here's chapter one

Review responses will be at the end of the chapter!

Last Time:

The portrait swung open and after saying goodnight the two Gryffindor's walked in to the apartments of Godric Gryffindor.

THIS TIME:

It was amazing.

There were paintings all over the walls and there were hangings of various dragons and gryffins scattered about. There was a large fireplace with a black marble mantle that had a sword on a stand on it.

The Sword Harry had pulled out of the sorting Hat.

The sword Harry had used to kill the basilisk.

The sword only a true Gryffindor could use.

Godric Gryffindor's sword.

Hermione's sword.

(A bit dramatic I know but I couldn't resist)

"So that's what he did with it." Harry said shaking his head.

The rest of the room was magnificent. There was a large black leather couch in front of the fireplace along with a matching loveseat. The stone floor was covered with blood red rugs that were very soft and fluffy. There was a large bookcase along one wall with old books in it and Harry watched Hermione's face light up with delight when she spotted it. There was a maple wood door that had carvings of runes and other symbols on it that when Harry went over and opened it he discovered it was the bathroom witch had a sunken into the floor pool sized shower/tub, there was a waterfall that flowed over dark rock and fed the pool that also acted as a shower. There were taps to one side that Harry assumed were for the bubbles and different scents. There was a loo too one side that had a black marble wall hiding it from view if someone opened the door and a double sink counter that was also marble there was also a large mirror on the wall with the sinks. There were various hair and facial care products and a shaving kit that Harry realized with a start was his, the House Elves must have unpacked their belongings before they'd even gotten there.

"HARRY!" Hermione's yell startled him and he ran out of the bathroom and saw another door was opened and Hermione was standing in the doorway.

"What's wrong?"

"There's only one bed. Why didn't Dumbledore put in another bed?" Hermione said turning around.

"Oh." Well that explained her yelling. (I know it's a bit cliché but it's needed and you'll see why later. Also I know I had Dumbledore say there'd be another bed but when they ask him which I'll try to get around to soon you'll see why.)

"Well I can sleep on the couch then it's big enough and it looks comfortable." Harry said trying to calm Hermione down.

"No I can't make you do that the bed's large enough that we can sleep on it without causing any incidents and Dumbledore knows we're responsible or he wouldn't have let you stay with me. It'll be fine." Hermione said, though it sounded as if she was trying to reassure herself rather than Harry. Meanwhile Harry was thinking along the lines of 'This can't be happening, this can't be happening, this can't be happening…

"It's okay really….." Harry began but was cut off when Hermione said,

"No Harry your staying my rooms and you're my guest and you're not sleeping on the couch. We are responsible enough not to let this bother us. Besides it really is a big bed."

And she was right, the bed was king size with hangings so red they were almost black, there was tons of pillows in gold and red pillow cases and a large golden comforter with the Gryffindor crest on it in red and silk sheets in blood red.

The rest of the room was just as tastefully decorated. There bedside tables of maple on each side of the bed, one had a few books that looked suspiciously like Hermione's, and another had Harry's copy of Quidditch through the ages and his photo album on it. There was another door that when Hermione opened it revealed a two sided walk in closet that had Her clothes on one side and Harry's on the other and the wall directly opposite the door held their shoes. Harry looked around and spotted dark red curtains with a bit of light coming from under them, curious he went over and opened them and found that it was double doors that led on to a very large stone balcony over looking the Quidditch pitch, and the lake. There was a black wrought iron table with two chairs out on the balcony also. The food that Dumbledore had promised was on the table.

"Mione the food's out here!" Harry called to Hermione who'd gone to investigate the books.

Hermione came in to the bedroom with a book in her hand. Harry opened the double doors and bowed her out; Hermione rolled her eyes and giggled. Harry smiled at her and joined her at the table after pulling out her chair for her.

"What book did you find?" Harry questioned while he cut up his stake.

"It's Godric Gryffindor's journal from when the Founders were building the school. There are some interesting things about the wards protecting the School in here. I might even be able to find some more secret passages that even the Marauders map doesn't show." Hermione said enthusiastically. Harry chuckled at her enthusiasm. Then he grew serious.

"You'd better not leave that lying about someone working for Voldemort could find it and they could inflict serious harm on everyone here." (lame I know) Harry said. Hermione nodded and tucked the book away in her robes and set about finishing her food.!
