The Legend of the Heir of Hogwarts is one of the most unbelievable legends in the history of Hogwarts.
Even though someother legends turned out to be true, scholars and researchers from all over the world agreed The Heir Legend was just too unbelievable.
Hermione was having a very boring first week this summer. Her parents told her they could not go on vacation this year, so she was here with nothing to do but read. Normally this would have made her happy but this year was different. She was still recovering from her injuries in the Department of Mysteries.
Thinking of that reminded her of Harry, her best friend, and a true one at that. She felt guilty about that, last summer she joined the Order of the Phoenix secretly thinking that Harry joined too. She was surprised he did not even know about this, Ron of course being the jealous prat he is, was ecstatic to be favoured over Harry.
When she asked Dumbledore, he told her that Harry needed some time after the accident at the third task and that once he was ready he'd join too, he asked her and Ron to keep tabs on him to know when he was ready. She did not question him further; Dumbledore always knew best, right?
The whole year passed and Dumbledore never deemed Harry ready. Then at the end of the term, he summoned her and Ron and told them they would start training come July. Ron was utterly happy that he would get to be better than Harry was for once, but Hermione was starting to have her doubts. Harry is the main target for You-Know-Who, why keep him untrained. Casting those thoughts aside for now, she sat down, and started to read through Hogwarts: a History again.
The legend entails that the Heir will come from a family of important ancestry. He will face hardships that could break most men, yet he will remain true. When his life is at the farthest depths of all his misery Hogwarts, will be there for him and will choose him as her heir, He will become the strongest magical being on earth.
As Ginny turns a page in her copy of Hogwarts: a History, she could not help but think of Harry again. This legend seemed to apply to him, he has faced hardships that people thrice his age could not. Yet he did and stood true and even was victorious in the end. She owed him a life debt because he was up to the challenge for her. She tried to fool herself by telling Hermione that she was over him but she knew better, she was over her silly crush over The Boy Who Lived yes, but it turned into true love for the real Harry instead.
She knew Hermione also liked him, even though she would not admit it to even herself. That is why Ginny choose not to act on her feelings so as not to hurt her friend. However, that did not mean she would not stand by Harry even if it meant going against the world, deciding to write him tomorrow when she had a better ideal what she wanted to write that Harry would want to read, she decided to continue reading about this curious legend.
The Legend of the Heir of Hogwarts, started after the death of the great seer Morgana. It is rumoured that on her deathbed, she had the prophecy about the Heir in the presence of the Founder of Hogwarts; upon hearing this, they travelled the world searching for the knowledge needed to retrieve an unknown artefact.
Luna Lovegood closed the large tome and sighed. It seemed that no matter how hard she tried she just could not shake thoughts of a certain green-eyed black haired teenager away, not that she was complaining. As Harry was the only one who tolerated her besides her father, he seemed to make an effort to understand her logic and know the real her.
She had adopted the looks of a dreamy weird girl to keep others away; her mother's death hit her so hard. Luna was afraid of making ties with people just for them to be severed again, and it worked so well until Harry came. He was able to bypass all of this and seemed to get to the real her effortlessly.
Luna had seen the anguish in his eyes the night of the leaving feast, he seemed so burdened and alone that it took all her control to not take him in her arms and tell him it was all going to be all right.
One thought occupied her now, she would help Harry anyway she possibly could no matter what it takes, with that thought in mind, Luna went to find a quill and parchment to write him.
The suspect ran into Knockturn alley and disapparated before I could reach him.
Auror N.Tonks.
Tonks was not a happy person these days. About two weeks ago, her favourite relative died in battle at the hands of her aunt. One week ago, when she saw Harry at the station looking so burdened and saddened it almost broke her heart.
Having some experience when it came to feelings, Tonks knew she had started to feel something different for Harry since Christmas. She did not know why, only that it happened. She tried dating a few people but every time her ability came up in the conversation, she would remember Harry. How he had asked her if one could learn to become like her. He never asked her to change; he was always satisfied with whatever form she was in currently.
Now she was writing a report about a suspect who escaped during her watch in Diagon alley.
Her thoughts reverted to Harry. She was not stupid, Tonks knew he had a vital role in this war, she could not understand why was Dumbledore trying so hard to hold him back. She was beginning to have doubts about Dumbledore leadership nowadays. She knew he had the power to give Sirius a trial, both when he was first sentenced and after his escape, but he never did.
She knew Dumbledore was a great wizard and all but all her Hufflepuff instincts told her to put more faith in Harry. With that in mind, she went to find Remus to discuss things with him before she wrote to Harry.
Narcissa Malfoy never felt so afraid and helpless in her life; she heard her cousin Sirius died recently at the hands of her sister Bellatrix.
She had been counting on Sirius as the Head of the Black Family with the authority needed for her to divorce Lucius, but with him dead, she now seemed to be stuck in her personal hell
Because not only was Lucius Malfoy an abusive bastard, but he was also sterile.
He stole baby Draco during a Deatheater raid then forced her to participate in a blood adoption ritual, more over he made her change her hair colour to blonde so as not to appear strange next to her son. Apparently, the ritual did not copy only physical appearances, but also the attitude as Draco became more arrogant and foolish no matter how hard she tried to change him. Thus, she held no love for the boy. The fact remains that with Sirius dead, without a valid will, Draco will be the next head of Black and she would remain trapped forever.
Two names popped to her head that could help her, Dumbledore and Potter. Like Slytherin, most Ravenclaw did not trust the first much, they treaded around him with caution, and they did not defy him openly unlike Slytherin since they applied brains to cunning. There was no way she could trust him much, since he had let Sirius down in his quest for freedom.
On the other hand, Potter was an unknown quantity to her. From what Draco had told her, he was foolish and arrogant with no tact, but the events of the Department of mysteries proved otherwise. A group of six teens enter a ministry top security location; fight twice their number in Deatheaters, who were all inner circle members. In addition, hold them long enough for reinforcements to arrive. Moreover, they came out with no permanent damage. How could he of led such an act if he was as Draco had said.
No, that boy is destined to be a great leader should he realize his full potential and stand up for himself.
Yes, Potter was the one to go to; she would just have to convince him to take her under his wing in exchange for her services since Ravenclaws were unmatched when it came to politics. However, was she ready to pledge loyalty to someone she had only just barely seen, only time will tell.
Bellatrix Lestrange lived in a world of pain; being punished for her failure to retrieve the prophecy from Potter.
The Dark Lord saw it fitting to remove the loyalty and Imperius curses from her, and then he began to remind her of all the crimes she committed under them. Voldemort of course accompanied this with his favourite curse, the Cruciatus.
She could easily escape, the Dark Lord promised her that should she try to escape, he would let her go, he even ordered other Deatheaters to let her go. What stopped her was the last ward he erected that was specific to her only. It would remove her memories of being under the Imperius but not her deeds. Therefore, even if she had a trial she would have no defence.
She could remember the day at the ministry, the look in Potter's eyes as he was chasing after her moments after Sirius fell through the veil. A look of pure rage laced with pain made her want to reach out to him so much it broke the Imperius. Unfortunately, the loyalty spell had forced her to keep shooting curses at him.
Could Potter help her escape? She hoped so, seeing that her research on the ward lead her to believe that only he and the Dark Lord could negate the ward effect, she once heard the other Deatheaters say the Dark Lord had his blood to resurrect himself. Anyway, she would write to Potter and see where that took her.
Dumbledore was not having a good time, two weeks ago; he told the prophecy to the Potter boy.
The insolent boy has broken most of his prized collection of magical devices, including the one that kept track of his activities and the one that dampened his magic. The damn boy had too much power for his own good, even after the block he put on him so long ago, he had almost burned the device on his third year when he made his first patronus. Dumbledore was afraid that this boy would change his perfect society that he spent time moulding since he defeated Grindlewald. He had the potential to become a greater Dark Lord that Tom would ever be.
Thank god, black died before he affected him too greatly. Anyway, now that the boy was alone again, he sent him straight to his relatives to break him some more so he would be more manageable in the future.
"Ah, here comes Fawkes" said Dumbledore. The phoenix had disappeared since it recovered from rebirth and just returned now. "Sing a little for me aye Fawkes" Fawkes chirped a little and looked deeply into Dumbledore's eyes. It chirped a little more and disappeared in a burst of flames. "Stupid bird" muttered Dumbledore angrily.
He looked over his desk where Fawkes was seconds before; he noticed with a sinking heart a large glowing piece of bird droppings. He recalled a book he had on read in a long time Phoenix: fact and myth.
In his book about phoenix, which was unfortunately lost, Merlin spoke about the Insult of a Phoenix. It is a known fact that phoenixes do not release their droppings. They keep them inside and it burns with them on their burning day. Merlin said that they would release them only in the event of severing the link they share with their companion.
He explained that it was the closest thing to a statement from gods that the chosen companion is a total failure in everything he stood for when chosen as a companion.
Now it was no common sight to see Dumbledore out of his grandfather attitude. But now he was crying like a baby that lost his toy, out of all 300 witches and wizards, the greatest of their time, that were chosen as phoenix companions. Twenty who Fawkes had bonded to through his life, the infamous legend choose to be proven correct at his cost. However, why did Fawkes see him as a failure? No matter, he will continue with his plan, and once he is victorious, Fawkes will see his error and return to him.
Minerva, Severus and Alastor entered Dumbledore's office and found him crying. Minerva and Severus stood in shock while Alastor scanned the room, seeing the glowing object on the desk; he could not help himself and started laughing hard. Minerva and Severus just turned to him still unable to comprehend the situation.
Hearing Alastor laugh, Dumbledore asked in a mix of anger and shame "And what do you find so funny, Alastor?"
The laugh stopped right away and replacing it with a dead serious expression, "I always told you, you were doing it all wrong Dumbledore. Nevertheless, you did not listen. I want to see how you can argue with a phoenix" Turing he strode out, and was followed by a still shocked Minerva and Severus. Later when they recovered, they decided to research the reason Dumbledore was crying. They would have to ask Alastor for that.
