Harry Potter and the Unexpected Heir
Harry and Lilian along with his possessions appeared in the middle of the living room in Number 12 Grimmauld Place. His belongings disappeared with a wave from Lillian's hand "They have been taken to your room". Harry now looked around him, he was indeed in the living room of Grimmauld Place, however this was very different from the last time he had he has been there. There was light everywhere and the old furnisher had disappeared and been replaced with new, more modern furnished, it was decorated in shades of beige and cream. It looked genuinely welcoming, to Harry's surprise the annoying and loud portrait of Ms. Black had been removed, he was about to ask about it was Lillian beet him to it.
"I hope you don't mind with what I have done with your house Mr. Potter, and about that portrait, I blasted it with an Avada Kedrava curse, it was seriously getting on my nerves, that dreadful screeching woman, I feel sorry for the devil really, but the curse was accidental of cause." Lillian said
"First please call me Harry, second I loved the new decoration the old one was gloomy and…old, thirdly it was about time someone got rid of that portrait, everyone tried to remove it but couldn't I just didn't think that it would take an Unforgivable to do it" Harry replied
"Ok Harry, now that is settled we are just waiting for the arrival of Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger, they will be here in about 15 minutes"
"why are they coming?" Harry asked
"You will find out soon enough"
Harry was beginning to wonder who this woman was, did she work for the Order?
"Sorry but who exactly are you? Do you work for the Order of the Phoenix?" Harry asked
"Oh I'm so sorry I realised that I never introduced myself, my name is Lillian Merlin and I don't just work for the Order I am the new Head of the Order of the Phoenix"
"Did you say Merlin?" he asked astonished, he never knew that Merlin had an heir!
"I usually get that reaction, yes in case you're wondering I am a descendent of Merlin, I only appeared now as the situation has become too devastating for me to do nothing. I have something to show you Harry"
She snapped her fingers and a huge piece of tapestry appeared in front of them. Harry looked at the top Bravest House of Gryffindor it said he looked down, the surnames changed from Gryffindor to various other names, until to his surprise it turned to Potter, Harry's eyes widened, Lillian saw this.
"indeed Harry you are the Heir of Gryffindor, as you can see the Potters are direct descendents, and as you can also see you are the last one."
"Wow I never expected that, I bet my dad knew that, no wonder he knew that castle so well, it was practically our family's origin! How do you know this?" Harry asked
"Now that my name is out you will no doubt here about it, so might as well tell you first hand rather than from the Daily Prophet."
She snapped her fingers again; an even bigger family tree appeared, it had Purest House of Merlin it had Merlin himself at the top joined with the name Elexis Novergood, then a single line Richard Merlin joined with Alexandra Realis, that had a single line down with the name Purity Merlin, however from that point downwards it was nearly completely single lines down, no marriages nothing! he noticed in each generation there was one girl every time, as if they single handed multiplied themselves, it kept going down, until about 500 years ago the line began to thicker, however Harry noticed that one or more lines was coming out of each name, he looked at the bottom, the last too squares, Lillian Merlin and Nicolas Merlin.
"As you can see I have a unique family tree, Merlin's son was just as powerful as his dad but Merlin realised that he had one gift added to his magic, when Merlin saw that Richard's daughter had all her father's power plus a new one, Merlin realised what was happening. He was happy at first; his family was magically unique however he began to see that even though they were powerful they were becoming physically weak, being physically weak they could host such powerful spells, Purity gained to power of Educed Reproduction in other words she could fertilise one of her eggs with magic, as the baby was half magic itself, he would be powerful enough to hold strong magic, the baby would have all their genetic structure identical to their mother's and she could choose the baby's gender and physical appearance. As the generations passed we began to notice that we were getting purer and purer, until magic and gifts impossible to normal wizards were granted to us, of cause most gifts were simple after that, the last major one was my mother's, then mine however I haven't yet put it into use, hopefully tonight I will" she said with a joyful smile, she turned to the phoenix
"Penna I think it's time now" the phoenix disappeared, but returned a few seconds later with Ron and Hermione. Their bags disappeared again just as Harry's ones had. Ron looked around and admired the living room. He then noticed Harry.
"oh hi Harry we got a letter from some Lillian person to wait at my house with Hermione at this time, oh and to pack too, who is this Lillian person? It sounds old, is she some old lady?" Ron said
Harry looked at Lillian, she was seating on the sofa, with her back to the trio, but he then heard her laugh, she got up and turned around, Ron seeing her let his mouth hang open.
"I can assure you I am no old lady, my name is Lillian and I am the new Head of the Order of the Phoenix" she shook Ron and Hermione's hand, receiving a quiet sorry from Ron in the process, Harry was still digesting what Lillian had told him, but since his two best friends arrived he had to temporarily put it at the back of his mind. Lillian looked at the large grandfather clock to her left; it was nearly midnight, just a few more minutes.
"I'm sorry, but why exactly are we here?" Hermione asked
"I should have explained myself better, but I guess you will find soon out soon enough; I just thought you would like to witness a special event tonight" Lillian said
"Ok so where we going and what are are we waiting for?" Ron asked
Hermione shot him a look. What? He asked
Lillian again looked at the clock, "We are waiting for this 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 Harry from this point onwards you are no longer protected, your mother's charm as stopped working, the Trace is no longer on you so you can practice magic freely now, and by the way Happy 17th Birthday!"
Harry smiled "Thank you" he said "so where are going?" he asked
"Godric's Hollow" Penna flew over head, opened her beak and the four of them disappeared with a burst of warm flames.
