Chapter 2: Bet you weren't expecting that?

When Harry slowly came to, the first thing that he noticed was the lack of pain.

He groaned as he sat up in the four poster bed he was lying in.

'That's weird. I can't remember there being this kind of bed in my room.'

"Where am I?"

"You are in our home, youngling. We took you away from your muggle uncle last night, when it was time for you to come in to your inheritance."

Harry spun around at the sound of the woman's voice. Standing at the end of the bed were two women and three men, all ofwhom looked vaguely familiar.

"Who are you? And what do you want with me?"

"I would've thought that you'd recognize us, kid. After all, you do go to the school that we founded." This was said by the big redheaded man as he moved to stand in front of Harry.

He looked them over again, his mind reeling.

"You mean that you're the four founders of Hogwarts? Then who are you?" He turned to the older man, that looked very much like Dumbledore.

"Why, I'm Merlin, of course." At this calm statement Harry promptly passed out.

Hphphphphphphphp

When he woke up again, Harry found the woman that had first spoken to him, sitting on a chair next to his bed.

"Hello again, youngling. I'm Rowena. The others and I decided that it would be for the best if I explained all of this to you."

"Yes, please. I'm a bit confused. I thought you died a thousand years ago."

"We didn't. We just came here to wait."

"Here? And wait for what?" Rowena smiled at him.

"Here is Avalon, and we came here to wait for our heir; we came here to wait for you."

"F – for me? But how? I – I mean…how can I be your heir?"

"Well, your father was the heir of Godric and Helga, and your mother was the heir of Merlin, Salazar and myself. We brought you here to train, you are the most powerful wizard to ever live. There will never be another wizard or witch with your power."

At this Harry could feel his jaw drop. 'The most powerful…?'

"H-how can that be? I'm nothing special, just a f-freak."

"No! You must never think that, Harry! You are not a freak, you are just a young man that has seen too much horror in his young life. Unfortunately, it had to be, otherwise you would not have the strength of character and will to defeat Salazar's heir. This, lord Voldemort."

"Defeat Voldemort? You must be joking, he's going to kill me! I don't know enough to beat him, thanks to Dumbledore."

At the thought of Dumbledore, Harry could begin to feel stirrings of anger. He had never forgiven Dumbledore for the part he played in getting Sirius killed two years ago.

In fact, Harry was so caught up in his anger and memories that he didn't notice that the entire room had started shaking.

He snapped out of his anger induced daze when his door burst open and Godric, Salazar and Merlin came running in.

"What in the name of all that is good is going on, Rowena! The entire castle is shaking!"

Godric glared at her. Rowena just glared back before answering.

"It wasn't me. Harry was getting angry for some reason, and his magic decided to take this out on the castle. Just out of curiosity, Harry, why were you getting angry?"

They all turned to look at him, and Harry could feel himself blushing. He looked down at his hands before answering.

"I was thinking about Dumbledore. And Sirius. It just makes me so angry! He could have prevented it, but it didn't fit with his plans. That, and the fact that he's a manipulative old codger. I'm tired of being his little 'Gryffindor Golden Boy!' I just want to be me, you know?"

"What's wrong with being a Gryffindor?" Godric asked.

"Oh, don't sound so hurt, Godric! You and I both know that the old fool has destroyed what you intended Gryffindor house to be, when it comes to Harry. Can you blame him for being angry for being manipulated for six years?" Salazar asked.

"If you two are quite finished, maybe we could get back to the matter in hand?"

Merlin looked over at the two founders that were both blushing.

"About that; how am I supposed to train here? Won't everybody go looking for me if I'm missing?"

Harry asked as he reached up to push his glasses up. When all he felt was his nose, he cried out in surprise.

"Hey! Where's my glasses? How come I can see without them?"

"Oh, that's easy. Your magic healed all your imperfections when you received your inheritance. Haven't you noticed that you are about 6 feet tall and that your body and appearance have changed?"

"It has? I mean, I have?"

"Yes, silly. Now, get up and go look at yourself in the mirror. You are very handsome."

Harry crawled out of bed and went to stand in front of the full length mirror as Rowena had told him to. What he saw was not what he usually saw when he looked in the mirror.

He used to see a scrawny boy of 5'6" with messy black hair and glasses. Now he saw a 6'1" muscular stranger with smooth, shoulder length black hair and piercing emerald eyes that seemed to glow, now that they weren't hidden behind glasses any more.

His skin had a soft golden tone to it due to all the outside work he had done during the summer.

"How? How is this even possible?"

"Well, as I said; your magic healed all your imperfections when you turned 17 last night. As for being missing, we will just send you back to the exact moment that we took you. No one will know that you were gone unless you tell them. As for the training, we would all like to share our knowledge with you. We will do this using a form of telepathy called a brach. This will give you all of our collected knowledge in a matter of minutes. But there are risks to this, you could go mad. After we have performed the brach we will help you train all of your new knowledge so that, for instance, wandless magic will become second nature to you. Are you willing to do it?"

They all looked at him as he thought it over.

The combined knowledge of the five greatest wizards and witches of all time?

Hell, yeah.

"Lets do it."

--Well, there you have it! Now, hit that little blue button and tell me what you think! See you all soon!
