Chapter Three: Story of the Heirs
Harry woked up to Hermione still sleeping in his arms, he got up and headed towards the bathroom. As Harry left the room Ginny entered smiling, she jumped on top of Hermione waking her up. Hermione laughed as she pulled Ginny off of her, Ginny kneeled in front of the bed.
"Yes?" Hermione akwardly.
"I saw you and Harry this morning," Ginny smiled.
"You did?" Hermione blushed.
"So does this mean you two are together?" Ginny squeled.
"No," Hermione laughed. "Did Ron ever come back?"
"No that prat!" Ginny said furiously. "I had to cover for him, Mum threw a fit!"
Harry came back into the room and Ginny smiled at him.
"What?" Harry smiled back.
"Nothing," she laughed. "I'll see you two downstairs."
"Hey," Hermione blushed.
"I am going downstair to get some breakfast you coming?"
"In a minute got to freshen up," Hermione got up from bed.
"Okay!"
Harry went downstairs to see Ginny sitting next to Dumbledore and Lupin, he saw the sword from his dream lying on the table with three others. Harry pulled out a seat in between Ginny and Lupin, Dumbledore gave him a bright smile as he waved his hand. A plate of food magically appeared in front of Harry, but he was to distracted by the swords on the table. Hermione came down the stairs out of her pajamas and now completely dressed for the day.
"Professor is Tonks okay?" Harry asked trying to confirm his suspicions.
"I had a feeling you had seen this in your dreams," Dumbledore nodded his head. "She is quite alright, she at St. Mungo being treated as we speak."
"St. Mungo?" Ginny and Hermione said confused.
"We went on a mission last nigt and she was attack by no other then the Cruciatus Curse," Dumbledore said sadly. "But you three are probably wondering what these three swords are.
"They are the Four Founders swords!" Hermione exclaimed.
"As always Miss. Granger is correct," Dumbledore picked up Salazar Slytherin's sword. "We just got this one last night, it was in Voldermort possesions but he been awfully busy these days. He building up an army Harry you have to find the other three Heirs."
"Why me?" Harry asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Hermione asked referring to Harry. "Harry your Godric Gryffindor Heir!"
"Bloody hell!" they heard a voice from the stairs.
It was Ron, he had been back from where he always goes when he sneak off, he sat next to Ginny who puched him in the shoulder, Dumbledore continued to speak.
"Hermione is right you are the Heir Godric Gryffindor," Dumbledore explained. "Have you ever wonder why Voldermort was really after you, why the sword came to you in the Chambers of Secret when it would not come to anyone else?"
"I thought it was my because I showed true courage!" Harry exclaimed.
"Your courage is what triggered it to reveal itself before time," Dumbledore said. "There are three more Heirs but they are not ready to reveal themselves but when the time comes, they will all be known."
"Wait how did the Four Heirs come about?" Harry asked.
"Before all Four Founders died they left a prophecy behind," Dumbledore explained. "But this prophecy was more like a spell, it told that one day a dark force will come into power and no one will be able to stop him except, the Four Heirs. Now they each choose their Heirs wisely and each Heir will be exactly like them, Godric choose someone with courage, Rowena choose someone who would be as intectual as her, Hufflepuff choose someone who be powerful but wise with their powers. But Slytherin had to Heirs one, for when he was good, and another for when he turned evil."
"Voldermort was one of those Heirs, Harry," Lupin explained.
"Harry it is important that you find the rest of the Heirs," Dumbledore urge him. "Your four are the key to defeating Voldermort, they might not be ready for the responsibility but they will be in do time."
"So how I am suppose to know when they are ready?" Harry asked.
"They shall reveal themselves," Dumbledore smiled. "Remus we must be on our way."
"We will see the four of you tomorrow," Lupin smiled getting up from the table.
"I will discuss everything when we get to Hogwarts," Dumbledore apparated with the four swords in hand with Lupin quickly trailing after.
"Harry you Godric's Heir," Ron beamed. "This bloody brilliant!"
"It going to be difficult finding the other Heirs," Harry thought.
"Extremely," Hermione agreed. "But you have us."
"Well I already have a clue on one of the heir!" Harry exclaimed.
"Who?" Ginny asked.
"Hermione or Luna," Harry explained, Hermione looked at him confused. "The Heir of Rowena Ravenclaw, Hermione your the most inteligent witch I ever known and you know it!"
"But why Luna?" Ron asked defensively.
"She the smartest Ravenclaw student I ever known," Harry said. "Why so protective?"
"No reason!" Ron quickly said.
Ginny sighed, "Ron you git, we know why you been sneaking off for, you been seeing Luna haven't you?"
"No!" Ron shouted.
"We already know mate," Harry smiled.
"I guess I wasn't so good at hiding it was I?" Ron frowned.
"Not at all," Hermione laughed.
"She coming tomorrow," Ron explained. "For Harry's birthday"
Harry could already imagine it Luna coming to his birthday with some kind of exotic, weird gift. He smiled to himself, but he couldn't help but think about the other three Heirs, he suddenly thought he could check if Luna was an Heir. Dumbledore will never bring the swords though, Hermione suddenly let a out huge gasped.
"We are going to get our O.W.L.S results back tomorrow!"
"Oh great just another way to get in more trouble," Ron rolled his eyes.
Harry and Ginny laughed at this comment, while Hermione simply smiled. Hermione looked worried, Harry could not figure her out she was always worried about something, mainly him. She looked up at Harry and smiled, Harry smiled back, but he couldn't help feel something bad was going to happen and soon.
