"My form!" Harry remembered. "I saw…"

"We know you're a multi." Ron interrupted.

"But what he saw was his main form." Hermione told Ron. "Go on."

"I saw…."

Chapter 10: The Heir

"A phoenix." Harry said.

"A phoenix?" Ron repeated. "Bloody hell."

"At least I'm not a dragon." Harry laughed.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Who's there?" Ginny called.

"Remus. Don't you dare say "Remus who.""

"Come on in." Hermione called.

Remus opened the door to see the kids gather around Harry.

"Did I miss something?" Remus asked.

"No." all four of them answered quickly.

"Well, you might want to head on to the backyard." Remus told them. "Glad to see you're finally awake, Harry."

"Thanks." Harry said.

"Be right there Moony." Ron said with a grin.

Remus left the kids.

"So what happened?" Hermione asked.

"Well," Harry said.

Flashback

Harry was in darkness. He looked around for some type of animal. Suddenly, a bright light filled the area.

"What the…" Harry said shielding his eyes.

The light faded and Harry found himself in a garden.

"Whoa." He said.

He looked around and saw every type of animal imaginable running around.

"Okay?" Harry asked. "What's going on?"

"I see thou art trying to discover thou's form." A woman's voice asked.

Harry turned and saw a beautiful witch with black hair and a dark blue and black medieval dress walking around in the garden. She was smiling at Harry.

"Who…are you?" Harry asked.

"That is for thee to discover for thineself." She said. "I shall tell you this: I am one of thine's hidden ancestor."

"Does Dad know about you?" Harry asked.

"No." she said.

Harry sighed in defeat.

"My dearest friends are other ancestors of thine." she informed him. "One of which is more acknowledged."

"There thou art, Rowena." A deep male voice said.

Harry and the witch turned to see a wizard with golden-red hair and a beard wearing gold armor and a red cape. Harry's mouth dropped as he recognized the man.

He was looking at Godric Gryffindor.

"Your…" Harry stuttered pointing at Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. "Then that means your….and that means I'm…."

"What hast thou done to him?" another female voice asked from behind Gryffindor. She was a blond witch wearing a yellow and white medieval dress.

"The young lad hast only just figured out our identities, Helga." Rowena said.

"Your…" Harry said pointing to Hufflepuff and looking around. "Okay. Where's Slytherin?"

"Slytherin is no longer with us." Helga said sadly. "His focus on pure bloods caused a large drift in our friendship now making us enemies."

"Okay." Harry sighed. "Here I was hoping to discover my animagus form. Instead I find three of the founders of my school. What's going on?"

Gryffindor put his hand up to his mouth and gave a whistle. Harry heard the sound of a phoenix and looked up at the sky. A black bird came swooping down and landed on his shoulder. This bird looked like Fawkes, except it was black instead of red and had a red tuft of feathers on it's head in the shape of a lightning bolt.

"Okay?" Harry said. "I'm a phoenix?"

"That is correct." Gryffindor said. "Come. We have much to discuss."

At the castle in present day Dumbledore's office,

"So let me get this straight." Harry said. "My power level is 100, AND I'm ALL of yours heir?"

"That tis correct." Ravenclaw said.

Harry plopped in a chair.

"This is too much." Harry said placing his head in his hands. "Do my parents about the fact I'm the heir of practically all of the founders except one?"

"They only know of Godric." Ravenclaw told him. "My youngest great-great-great granddaughter wedded Helga's youngest great-great-great grandson and their child wedded Godric's only great-great-great-great grandson."

"There is still much to discuss." Gryffindor said. "Doest thou knowest how thou shalt defeat Slytherin's heir?"

"Not a clue." Harry admitted.

"When thou was born," Ravenclaw explained. "Thou's parents place a spell on thee. Thou's full powers shalt not awaken until thou turnest the age of seventeen. However, because of Slytherin's rise, Godric, Helga, and I feel that those powers need to be released sooner."

"How?" Harry asked. "When?"

"That hour shall arrive soon." Helga said. "Leave that to us."

Gryffindor said. "And thou shalt be more powerful than Albus Dumbledore."

"More…powerful…than…Dumble…dore?" Harry asked slowly in shock.

"We have wasted enough time." Gryffindor said. "Thou hast been in the trance for long enough. Go back to thou's friends, Harry Potter."

"Can I tell them?" He asked.

"Only if they be trustworthy." He told the boy.

End Flashback.

"Bloody hell." Was all Ron and Ginny could say.

"We…should get going." Hermione said helping Harry move to the side of the bed.

"I'm not an invalid Hermione." Harry said standing up

THUD

Harry tripped over his feet.

"You haven't moved in 24 hours." Hermione explained.

"If I'm like this now, Imagine when I get those powers. And why am I dressed like a sixteen year old dressed me?"

"I dressed you." Ron admitted.

"You didn't HAVE to." Harry told Ron as he unsteadily stood up. "I'm hungry."

"You haven't EATEN in 24 hours." Ron told him with a laugh as he helped Harry get redressed for lunch as the twins ushered the girls out.

A few minutes later, the Golden Group was walking out the back door. Harry had gotten his balance back and they were explaining what all he missed.

"I can't believe you guys." Harry said. "You picked a group name without me?"

"We figured you wouldn't mind." Ginny said.

As they stepped onto the porch,
