Chapter 2 – Family History
As soon as Harry had awoken he had eaten a slice of bread and had gone back up to his room where he sat back on his bed and opened the box. Sorting out the top letters that he had already read he reached for the following one…he took a deep cleansing breath and started reading once more.
Harry I know that this must be annoying or confusing or both (got that right, mother) but bear with me, there is much to tell.
Right I've done past history, now I get to mine, and yours the interesting parts for us…me and you, the rest was boring to be honest. (Duh)
We…you and I come from the line of Merlan and from the line of Merlin. What this means Harry; my child is that you are the true leader of the Wizarding British World.
"Bloody Hell, does this mean I can kick Fudge out of office? Hm, good idea that."
Harry separated the parchments and found a list of ingredients, instructions and another note.
Harry make this potion and drink it, it will give you your Clan markings, you need them to claim leadership of the British Wizarding World and kick that idiot Fudge out of office for good, Clan markings are in bred so they cannot be transferred through blood or magicks the muggles would say it was through the DNA. All the ingredients you need are shrunken at the bottom of the box, to enlarge them hold the packet in your left hand and tap the package three times with your index finger of your right hand and say 'augeo'.
Now read the next folded parchment, you need to have read everything before 10pm 18th July that is when you gain your Magickal inheritance. Read on.
He laid the first two notes with the ones he had read the night before and reached for the next parchment, which was quickly unfolded so he could read it.
Firstly I was not born an Evans, I was adopted at the age of one…my mother was of the Zabini line, and my father was a true Slytherin in name and blood. I was born on the 27th June and was one of twins, my brother the eldest of us was put up for adoption in the Wizarding World, our parents were killed when we were twelve they looked for us for years, the official story was that we were taken from them because they were abusive which as it could not be proven and Veritiserum was turned down by both the defence and prosecuting lawyers they could not put our parents in Azkaban so we were taken away from them. The true story will be explained here in this letter, please be patient. Anyway after I started learning about Magicks I got suspicious and through many nights of research found what I was looking for…I had and I suspect my brother also had charms on us, which were regularly updated. How do I know all about having a twin and where to start looking for all this you ask? Read on…
When I started Hogwarts there was this pull to another person, a boy my age, he looked so lost that I decided to befriend him, which I did over that first year. I was a Gryffindor he was a Slytherin, you properly have a clue already but wait I will tell you his name eventually. I found out one day near the end of the school year that he was feeling the same kind of pull to me as I was to him, so we kissed and it felt soo wrong, it was just a touching of lips, so instead I hugged him and kissed his cheek as I would a sibling, it felt so right, he told me that it felt right to hug and kiss cheeks too, but he was confused. I knew at that time that I was adopted…when I got my letter for Hogwarts Petunia made fun saying that my real parents got rid of me because I was a freak, I confronted my parents and they showed me the adoption certificate, there wasn't much besides my name and my real mothers name, but there was information on another sheet about how I ended up being there. I was left by an elderly man with long white hair, long white beard and a strange fascination with lemon drops…sound familiar? There was that one name that of my mother, which had held my gaze for what, felt like eternity…Joseline Zabini, she was down as being an unmarried mother, at that time it was seen as wrong and children born to unwed mothers were given up to people who were married and unable to have their own children.
During our second year we researched my mother, not yet knowing that it was also his mother. We eventually found what we were looking for…she married our father two years before we were born, we agreed not to mention anything to the Headmaster because we did not trust him, we still don't today as I am writing this letter. Your uncle has included a letter, I am a seer and I know that something is going to happen between the two of you, I have told him and he wanted to explain his actions, he may not in your time know I foresaw things that has worried me, take care he is a wonderful man really, just scared to trust, he trusted and was let down so many times…please give him a chance.
As I was originally saying, we found out that she was married and found the name of our father, we looked through more and more Daily Prophets where we got our original information from on their marriage, but between homework and his quidditch we only got till we were the age of four. We weren't getting anywhere quick and he didn't know that he was adopted at that time, so in fourth year we took a break from the papers and brewed a heritage potion that when dropped on parchment shows your immediate family. He fainted when his matched mine, except on mine my name was in Green, on his sheet his name was Green which indicates that it is our adoptive name only…Dumbledore must have used Magick to formally bind us to our adoptive parents, but we knew how to break that bind whenever we wanted to, it only changed out names so it wasn't too important at that time. We took another week to calm down and head back to the papers whenever we had the time. It took us until the end of our sixth year to find out that our parents were dead, they were supposedly killed by Lord Voldemort, but they were supporters of his…I know what you have been told, I will explain it all later, for now let me explain this. What we found didn't surprise us in the least, what we had found was that they had twins both were kidnapped when they were left with a Nanny while our parents attended a ball thrown by the Ministry, the Nanny was killed and we were presumed dead. That was the real version of events, not the adoptive crap that Dumbledore said was the official story. During the summer between sixth and seventh year my brother contacted the lawyer who represented our mother and father and laid claim to our inheritance, he told the lawyer that it was to be kept secret, as there was someone who deliberately kept us from our parents and each other; they never had more children, as there were complications during our delivery. The lawyer was sceptical, we told him to have a family tree potion on hand for each of us, which he readily agreed to. We went to the meeting together a week later when we entered the room, there was Lord Voldemort with Lucius Malfoy, his father who was a friend of our fathers and the lawyer, I reacted and pulled my wand pulling my brother with me back towards the door, we were stunned into unconsciousness before we got there. When we awoke we were tied to chairs beside each other facing Lord Voldemort who started questioning us.
"What's a mudblood like you doing claiming that you are the missing female twin." He asked me. I of course lifted my chin and answered in a dignified manner fitting my true station in life.
"I was adopted after a man fitting the Headmasters description left me at a Muggle Orphanage claiming that my mother Joseline Maria Zabini was an unmarried mother and that he was my grandfather and was too old to care for me. Oh and there are charms on us, don't break them use a spell to see through them, oh and the potion will still work."
He gave me such an odd look and then indicated to the lawyer to use the potion, he took three hairs and three drops of blood from us both and added them to the potions, he shook them and poured them into two dishes where there was special parchments, after ten minutes they were ready, our real names and adoptive names were there along with our parents names…Maria Merlane Morgana Slytherin and Sebastian Salazar Severus Slytherin, our parents were Severus Sebastian Slytherin, true heir to the Slytherin name and Joseline Maria Zabini eldest sister to the Heir of the Zabini family.
We were untied and after a lengthy discussion I learnt what the Dark Lord was really all about, yes he did kill and torture but there was a method and one I approved of, and one that you will too, but it is not my place to tell you. As for Lord Voldemort being an heir of Slytherin that is the truth, he comes from the second line, the second child, a daughter of Salazar Slytherin we come from the firstborn, the son, so we are the true heirs. By the way, is there a Zabini at school with you? When Seb and I were at school we found out that we had a cousin there, he was three years ahead and we never knew, if you do have a cousin there then protect him my child he is the last Zabini male, he will explain that when you get to trust each other…
Things were really freaking Harry out now…first he gets a history lesson of the entire Universe then his mother tells him that he really is an Heir of Slytherin, he shook his head trying not to remember second year, he really did not need to remember those school years. He folded up the parchment and placed it with the others that he had read and decided to go get a slice of bread and clean his cuts.
An hour later Harry was back in his room clean and fed…well at least it was something inside his stomach other than plain water. He sat next to the box thinking again.
'Mother said I'm not a Potter, if not then who am I? As for Uncle it sounds a bit like Snape from what Sirius and Remus told me of the man. Urgh this is so confusing, what other things is she going to tell me? At least I know that she really is my mother, but then that means that the blood protections on this house are fake and Volde…damn…Tom could have come for me at anytime, would I mind? He was kind of sexy when he was younger pity he looks like a snake now though, I mean yuck,' He put his head in his head shaking it, 'Gods what am I thinking, I need to get my mind off of that train of thought, next letter' He pick up the next sheet and opened it with a small amount of discomfort at what could be inside.
My darling son, I know that it seems that all I am doing is avoiding the point of all of these letters, and history lessons, but there is a point and I am getting there, do not worry…I am not wacko…or whatever you say at the time you are reading these.
To the point of this history lesson…the meeting between your uncle, myself the two Malfoys, the lawyer and Lord Voldemort.
After a lengthy discussion it was decided that all parties except myself would have their memories modified…for myself it would not be possible for reasons that I will explain in a moment, for my brother he would remember meeting the lawyer but not why this was so that the Headmaster would not find out anything as my brother was closely watched. For both of the Malfoys they would remember nothing at all about anything, the meeting the discussion nothing. The Lawyer would remember only that he met with two young adults claiming to be the Heirs to the Slytherin estate, and that the young woman was who she claimed to be. My Lord Voldemort would remember nothing at all, he wanted it that way, all that was left was the desire for my brother to join his ranks which he did straight after he left school, I did too but I was unmarked and was owled or collected by my brother for meetings that I had to attend.
What is the reason for this you wonder…we were watched, my best friend James Potter would eventually know a small part of what happened but not that I was a servant of the Dark Lord…you see I am a seer…I know you have had little luck with seer's but I am what is known as a true seer, all I have to do is look at a person and I know when they will die…I knew that James and I would die young but not exactly when or how, just be assured that It.Was.Not.Lord.Voldemort. I know that you may not believe me but trust me it wasn't him the Aura Pattern I saw in our deaths was wrong for him and any of the DeathEaters and Elites. If it was known that we were servants of Our Lord's then you would have been taken from us as my brother and I were taken from our parents, this was all for you. I know every part of your life up till this letter and many of the things that I have done are to ensure that you and our bloodline continue onwards whether you take the path that is set before you or you take the opposite path which ever you decide I will forever remain proud of you my son.
Harry stopped reading to shake his head at the emotions that suddenly pounced on him at reading those words…his mother knew him and was proud of him, he had never had his mother or anyone say that to him before. He started reading again…
What ever anyone has ever told you is a lie…James Potter could be the nastiest Light Wizard I knew to anyone that wasn't in his Inner Circle but he was fiercely Loyal to those of us that were in it, you are not like him and never will be he is not your father…
"Bloody hell, what is going on, how can I look like someone she claims is not my true father?" Harry scratched at the back of his head in a nervous gesture and continued reading.
Another lie told to you is that the protection on you is through my Love…that is a lie, I do love you don't ever forget that…your true father does not know of you, the decision to contact him is yours and yours alone as I know how you have interacted in the past with each other. Ah I'm losing track again I am correcting lies.
Headmaster Dumbledore faked a prophecy you are not to kill Voldemort, it was a ploy, everything was to get you to trust him, treat him like a favoured grandparent, he has big plans which you will find out.
Your true father is a wonderful man in private, he has to act just as you and your Uncle has to act, things will change. Don't worry about being labelled a Bastard child, you are not trust me.
The rest of the letters are invisible at the moment but when you are ready to know what they say the writing will appear, what is left with writing showing is your birth certificate and another two certificates trust me when I say that this was for the good of everyone, you do not need to stay with what I have set for you follow your own path if that is what you wish.
Before I finish this letter I need to say another few things…There is a glamourie on you, your Uncle and another, your twin sister, yes sister she was given away the night you were left at the Dursleys. The spell to permantly remove the Glamouries is 'amoveo' use it when you want to, but be warned the Glamourie cannot be replaced once taken away. Another spell you need to know is 'restituo' this is to restore any obliviated memories or alter memories, use it on your Uncle so that he may remember everything.
Good luck on everything my child.
Harry placed that with the others and went through the other sheets, there were two with writing on and a few that appeared blank, he took them all out and placed all the ones that he had read at the bottom under the ingredients and placed the blank ones at the top and left the other three out to look at, he decided a visit to the bathroom was necessary, afterwards he would be glad that he did…he picked up both and opened the one that was on top first…

"Bloody Hell…oh gods, Malfoy's my brother, he's gonna kill me, or perhaps I can give him a heart attack. Hehehe…" Harry started giggling in a mad maniac kind of manner for several minutes before he could look at the other two certificates.

That was too much for Harry; he registered what they meant before keeling over in a dead faint, which lasted well into the night.

Tom's name I made like that because Harrison well Harry and Salazar because he is still an Heir to Slytherin.
Harry's name because
1) I like Tobias and it goes well with Tom/Thomas.
2) Sebastian I like that name and well it is after his Uncle
3) Salazar as he is a true Heir to Slytherin
4) He needed something from his father besides the last name.
