Chapter Four- The Second Heir

"Neville!" Harry yells after he gets over his shock now seeing who the second Heir was.

Harry would have chuckled at the stunned expression on his friends face, but he understand what his friend is thinking and feeling. "Ummm…Harry, what's going on? Neville asks. Harry can tell that Neville is trying to figure out where they are because of they way he is looking around for an exit. "The very last thing I remembered was coming into my magical inheritance on the eve of my birthday. I must have slept a day or two because receiving my inheritance was so draining. When I woke up, Fawkes was sitting on the end of my bed the next thing I know I'm here."

Harry takes in Nevilles new appearance and can see the difference in him. He seemed to have a luminescent glow like an angel but without the wings. His hair was longer reaching his mid back, where it was black before it now had streaks of red. If you look closely, you can see his pointy ears hidden behind his hair. Right off Harry can tell that Neville is an Elf.

Neville was already taller than Harry, but with his inheritance he grew a little more in height. He also gained muscles instead of the chubby frame he had before. One thing that still remained the same kind face and calming aura that was Neville.

Both friends looked at each other and smiled for the first time since they were transported here. Harry felt for the first time everything was going to be ok. Then it hits him, it was still his birthday. Harry checks his pockets of his tattered jeans and realizes he is not wearing a shirt. Forgetting about his state of dress for a minute Harry reach into his pocket and pulls out a wrapped gift and hands it to Neville.

"Happy Birthday my friend," Harry says with a huge smile on his face. Neville takes the gift from Harry's outstretched hands.

"Thank you, Harry. I have your gift at home." He tells Harry. Then Neville pulls him closer whispering in his ear. "Not to sound crazy but are we dead and of we are not will we ever go home? Also, who are they?"

Harry began to chuckle then outright laughed at Neville's questions. It is a true testament of Harry's sanity that he has been here too long. Speaking of which how long have I been here?

"To answer your questions, young heir," Rowena says. "You are not dead, but very much alive. Also, you will return home when you both have completed your training."

"What about time?" Harry asks. "We are supposed to start school in a month."

"Time here passes a little different than it does in your time," Godric says. "As to where you are we are in the "in between." It is the place where if you use just a little bit time, space and magic you are able to speak to those you choose."

Smiling to that Harry looked to his left side to see Neville take a seat that seemed to appear out of nowhere. "Why are we here?" Neville asks.

"You are here because you have come into your inheritance. You along with young Harry are our last remaining Heir. As you can guess, we are the founders of Hogwarts. You were brought here today because the Castle is in danger it needs your help in defending her and keeping her students safe," replies Salazar

The flabbergasted look on Neville's face is so funny Harry could not stop the belly laugh. If Harry had the same expression he had on his face when they told him, he could see why they laughed at him.

Neville turned and looks at his friend in surprise. Hearing Harry laugh was a surprise but also a great thing. It was not often that his friend laughed especially like that. This made Neville laugh at the situation. If it weren't for the fact that Harry's laugh was so infectious, he would have thought he heard wrong.
Trying to catch his breath "Yeah, mate that's pretty much how I looked when they told me," Harry says to him.

"Wait but I thought V-Vo-Voldermort was the heir of Slytherin because he is a Parselmouth."

THAT UPSTART IS NOT MY HEIR!" Salazar yells, quieting the room laughter. "Please do not refer to him as my Heir, ever!"

Poor Neville jumped. He did not mean to upset the founder especially if his guess was right and that it is Salazar Slytherin, but he was just stating the things that he was told. Seeing the look on his face, Salazar calmed down and apologize for getting upset.

Looking at the founders Neville notice they looked nothing like he thought they would. They all had a Fey or Elfen like quality to them. Like Harry, Neville started to recognize the similarities in his new appearance to the founders. But, he noticed his features were more like Godric and Rowena. How could that be? It was if Godric used Legilimency on him.

"I can see on your face you have many questions and we will answer them. We told young Harry some before you arrived. We have much to discuss and do in so little time."

Each founder took their time explaining the same thing that they told Harry. While they were speaking Harry took the time to study his friends' face he watched closely when it was mentioned that some wizards are born with the natural ability to communicate with animals or even nature.

"What can you speak to Neville?" Harry asked before anyone else can continue with the rest of the story. Neville had a pensive look on his face; he fidgeted in his seat not sure how to tell Harry what is was that he could speak to. Harry smiled to reassure his friend that anything that he had to say would not change their friendship.

"I will never look at you any differently no matter what it is, you should know that by now. Until today, I thought of you as a close friend. But right now I see you as my big brother."

Neville is silent for a second, then he took a deep breath "It's not that I can speak to them really it's that I can hear them. I can hear them when they cry from people not care of them. I can hear the plants; I can hear the seeds before they are planted. At first I thought it was just my natural ability in herbology. But then other things started to happen. They listen to me when I talk to them. For example, the mandrakes quiet down when I tell them to without even touching them. I kept it a secret from everyone because in second year when you stopped that snake from attacking Justin." He takes a deep breath before he continues. "I saw how everyone treated you. I didn't want to be treated like that Harry. I'm sorry, Harry I know that you would not have treated me any different but I just couldn't take that chance."

"It's ok Nev, I understand," Harry told his friend. The crazy thing was he did.

Rowena spoke up "Neville that fact that you can hear the plants not only shows your natural ability but also that one of your elemental power will be Earth. One of the things we are going to do his help you both bring out your elemental powers. We are going to also, help you both harness your natural abilities."

Rowena looks at both Harry and Neville and her heart aches because the wizarding world has made children afraid to show their strength. Making them afraid to show their true self. She shook her head in despair the reason why Rowena and the others decided to open their home.

"Never be afraid of your who you are." Rowena tells them. "Your abilities are what make you who you are. When it comes to magic, all things boil down to your own power. It seems the Wizarding world we left have become focused on light and dark magic. That is not the way it should be."

Helga is the next to speak, "By both your tattoos and appearances we can see that you both have mates that are or was born to the both of you. Harry if you have not already guess you are a Veela. By your feminine appearance, you would be qualified as the sub in the relationship. Most likely your mate will be male, he will be the dominant or alpha of the relationship. Your mate will be the one to care for you protect your kits no matter the cost. He will be your perfect match in every way power, strength, and intelligence. Once you find your mate and consummate your bond, some Veela couple gains an extra boost in powers. Your markings will be similar and your mate will know if you are in dire danger. His markings will heat up as if his skin is on fire and will not stop until he finds you.

Such as the ability to speak to each other through your mind. You will be able to feel when each other are in mortal danger.

Neville, on the other hand, is an Elf as with Harry you have a destined mate or mates. Most Elves' need more than one mate to keep them grounded. You and your mate will have special abilities also; they will be able to send you apparate if they feel like you are in danger. Judging by your size you will be dominant in your relationship. You will want to protect your mate no matter the cost to your life. Any children that will bring out the need to always want to protect your family. There are still many we do not know about Veela's and Elves after they mates. But those are the major ones."

Harry and Neville sat there trying to absorb the well of information that they have just gotten about the mating process. The only thing that keeps coming back to mind has a family no matter who is mate will be one day he will be able to have children. The other thing that keeps going through his mind was the fact his mate will be a man. He never thought of himself as gay, I wonder how I will be able to tell who my mate is. Not realizing that he voiced that out loud he was surprised when the questions were answered for him.

"There are a few ways to tell who you mate is be. The first will be the mating marks unless your mate has a glamor covering their markings so no one will see it. The next will come from your senses or better yet their scent. Your mate will have a pleasing smell that will awaken your desire for them. All other smell will not be pleasing to you. Unless they are masking their scent the other way to tell is by touch. After you have been touched by your mates at one time in the past, you will not be able to tolerate any other's touch if they have intimate or sexual feelings towards you." Helga explained.

"So what you're saying even before we had our magical inheritance," Neville begins. "If our mate has touched us before, if some who has strong sexual feelings for us now and tries to touch us now we will get sick or something?" He asks

"Yes, that is essentially what we are saying," replies Rowena. Harry and Neville racked their brains trying think of all the people that have touched them in the past. Out of the people, they have come across anyone could be their mate. Mainly in a school as Hogwarts the possibilities were endless.
