Chapter 3

It was just a couple of minutes until the clock stroke midnight and Harry was very nervous. Since he had learned of the possibility of getting an inheritance on his birthday he had done a lot of research. Truthfully there was nothing to really help him since it was different for everyone and the only people who could even begin to guess how it could be for him were his parents and he did not have them with him anymore.

He had read that the majority of the magical population got a relatively inconspicuous inheritance. He had even asked his friends and they all had different tales to tell. Neville said that he had gone to sleep last year and woke up feeling hung-over and that his magic did not increase overly much but that he became more attuned to plants and their needs, which for him was the best inheritance ever.

Luna had hers at seventeen and since then could see magical currents clearly. She could see the magic that made up the world since little but it was always sporadic and tended to distract her a lot. After her inheritance she could see it everywhere and until she learned to turn it off it gave her headaches but nothing she could not handle, she actually believed that it was this ability what would enable her to find proof that her fantastic creatures existed.

Andromeda had hers a long time ago and could not remember anything about it, she said that at the time she had been somewhat wild and feeling hung-over was not anything unusual. Surprisingly it was the twins who helped him the most.

The twins had been furious with their family and as soon as they could contacted Harry via matching mirrors, they had gotten them because Harry was still a silent investor in their business and they had wanted a direct link to him to discuss business and anything that came to mind. Harry had been extremely relieved to realize that the twins were still his friends and that Charlie and Bill had known nothing of the family plans for him, but was sad that the family had become so separated.

Fred had told him to not worry and that he was their little brother and they would stick by him. While George told him that they had never felt very welcomed by the rest of their family and the only one who had truly believed in them even in their more crazy ideas had been Harry so now it was their turn to stick by him.

They had talked for hours about their family, friends, business and even school. They also told him of their inheritance, they had it after they had left the Burrow so no one else knew. Their inheritance had been a pretty rare one, as twins they shared a special bond and in their inheritance that bond had been strengthen and amplified. They now could communicate telepathically from anywhere, the distance did not matter, and could merge their powers while casting spells which made their spells ten times more powerful. These new set of abilities had been very useful during the war and what had saved Fred in the final battle, since they had merged powers their link had enable him to hold on to life until he could be helped.

The twins told Harry that the only thing that helped was to always meditate before going to sleep in the days previous to the inheritance, since it would keep him calmer and let the magic do what it was meant to do without resistance.

Harry had followed their advice and meditated but tonight it was particularly difficult. Not only was there a big possibility that his inheritance would finally come but he was sure Andromeda had planned a surprise birthday party for him and had invited his friends and some of the kids from Xavier's institute.

He had met the kids from the institute a week into his stay with Andromeda purely by chance. He had been running some laps around the perimeter of the property when a huge bird-like creature came crashing down, only it wasn't a bird at all…

~~~~Flash Back~~~~

Everything happened so fast he didn't even have time to think, just react. He had been running laps to keep in shape when he felt almost compelled to look up and he had to blink a couple of times. A figure was approaching from the sky at first he could only see huge white wings beating fanatically at a distance. But as the distance was cut fast he realize that whatever it was in was falling and fast.

He didn't stop to think and just ran towards the collation point. As it grew closer he could see it was a guy with angel-like white wings. He was covered in blood and dirt and one of his wings was bent at an odd angle. Just when he got to the fence the guys wings failed him and he came crashing down with a pained grunt.

Harry knew there was nothing around there for miles and so being the good savior he was he jumped the fence and went to help. When he got close he saw that the guy must have fainted from the pain and his breath was irregular and pained.

After all the time he spent in the infirmary at Hogwarts Madam Pomfrey had decided to give Harry some private lessons so that when he left the school he could fend for himself if needed. He was very grateful for that now.

The guys was a mess, Harry put his hands on top of him and began some simple scans. He had come to the realization that after getting free of the horocrux magic came a lot easier and that he didn't really need a wand anymore, not that he had told anyone about it.

The young man (he could not be more than 24) had several cuts and bruises, two broken ribs, a contusion, some internal bleeding and a broken arm. Harry started by stopping the bleeding and healing the head injury, he was so focused in his healing that he did not notice some people approaching.

~~~PoV~~~

Bobby, Kitty and Marie stopped death in their tracks at the sight before them. A young man probably not even twenty years old was kneeling over Warren with glowing hands and a look of extreme concentration in his face. And right before their eyes they could see the wounds closing and the skin clearing.

Another mutant thought Bobby, a new one and by the looks of it a strong healer.

I have never seen an ability like that. Thought Marie. She had a look of longing about her, if only she could heal with a touch instead of hurting people. She shook her head now was not the time to think about it.

Is he one of the good guys? He has to be or he wouldn't be helping Angel out. He would be a great addition to the mansion. With that last thought Kitty took a step forward to introduce herself and the others and see how their friend was doing.

~~~PoV~~~

Meanwhile Harry had just finished healing his patient and just when he was about to mutter a cleaning charm a voice interrupted him.

"Is he going to be alright?" Harry almost jumped out of his skin.

Shit he thought, they saw me, how do I explain this?. He was looking wild eyed and somewhat panicked Kitty picking up on the distress and arriving to her own conclusions jumped to reassure him.

"Don't worry we are mutants too, we live at Xavier's school for mutants, where you looking for the mansion?"

Harry could not help to be a little relieved and somewhat amused. At least he did not have to explain his magic if they just assumed he was a mutant.

"Mmm, my name is Harry and I am the next door neighbor, your friend is going to be ok, just a little sore." As if on cue Warren started to stir and Booby went to help him up.

"Neighboor? Sorry… with a shake of her head, where are my manners, my name is Kitty, this is Marie, that one over there is Bobby and the one you helped is Warren" she said pointing at each person in turn.

"Nice to meet you, like I said I am Harry and I came to spend the summer with my family that lives here" he gave them all a smile.

Getting back his bearings Warren extended his hand to Harry, "Thanks, I was in a really bad spot there, Bobby here says that you healed me?"

~~~~End of Flash Back~~~~

Afterwards they had insisted he met the Professor and the rest of the people back at the school. There where kids of all ages there and some lived there full time, in a way it was like the Hogwarts for mutants in the U.S.

Meeting the Professor had been and interesting and surprising situation. Professor Charles Xavier was actually a squib from a pureblood family. So he knew everything about the warding world and recognized him but promised not to tell anyone else. He also told him that while most mutants knew nothing of the wizarding world here in the states it was ok for hem to know and they were accepted in magical communities as magical beings.

In the mansion only three people beside the Professor knew about magic and two were out on missions. Hank thanks to his dealings with the government knew all about the wizarding world and while he could not do magic he had the ability to do potions which he used to help the X-men out. The other two where Remy LeBeau and Logan, both who he had yet to meet.

He had to relax, he knew he was worrying over nothing. His new and old friends would get on great if they all really came. Now he just had to relax.

Suddenly a feeling of wrongness encompassed him, it was as if his body wasn't right. He felt like a stranger in his own skin and could not move at all, he felt numb and so tired. The room started to spin, his body started to stretch and shrink at the same time, it was such a bizarre feeling. Then everything went black.
