Harry Potter and the Unexpected Heir

Getting to know Each other

I don't own anything

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harry tried desperately to wake her up, until his dad told him that she should rest. Mrs. Weasley came in along with Remus and told Harry to take Lillian up to her room. He got his wand and levitated her up the stairs. He wend up a few landings and finally came upon a room with Lillian Merlin on it, he got inside and laid her on her bed. Almost instantly gold light surrounded her and it seemed to be pulsating around her body. He realised that she probably wouldn't wake up anytime soon and sat at the end of the bed, she gave him his family back the least he could do is help her when she needed someone. He looked around, the room was decorated also in shades of beige, he was seating of a large four poster bed with dark red covers, there was a large desk, a pedestal where no doubt Penna usually sat, he noticed there was no wardrobe, on her nightstand there was a photograph of Lillian being hugged by a handsome man from behind, a large smile on her face, on the mans face there was a glint in his eye that Harry couldn't really recognize. On the wall to the left there was what looked like a enlarged colour photograph that covered nearly the entire wall, there was Lillian in the middle, with the man from the picture seating next to her, behind her there was a woman with blue eyes like Lillian but with black hair, next to her a man with also black hair but his eyes were light brown. Around this group where other people, over their heads there was a portrait of a man with silver beard and a blue pointy hat, Merlin! That's Lillian's family wow they are a really large family, there's like 10 people in this photograph he thought. He got back on the bed, thinking about what had happened, this complete stranger, who he had only known for about 5 hours just brought his family back, no wizard or witch can bring people back from the dead, was this Merlin's power?

He heard the door open behind him, his parents came in and gently sat down on the bed, now that Harry had a proper look he really did look like his father, except his eyes, he looked into his mother's eyes and a reflection of his green eyes beamed back at him. He smiled to them.

"What's that gold light?" Harry enquired

"It's probably a recovery charm, I'm guessing bringing back three people from the dead is not an easy job, I'm not really sure myself so we should wait until she wakes up." James suggested

"How are you son?"

"Tired I still cant believe you are here, and Sirius too. I've dreamed about this all my life"

James and Lily smiled "We are sorry we couldn't be here for you Harry, but now we are going to catch up on all the time we lost, don't worry" Harry nodded.

"By the way dad thanks for the Invisibility Cloak, it has saved me from many dangerous situations"

James laughed "Don't mention it, that cloak was the base for all The Marauders pranks while I was at school. I know you have a nose for trouble, it's a shame you didn't get my good taste for pranks, it seems you got that sensible side from Lily"

"And is there a problem with that Potter?" Lily said mockingly

"Not at all, its just pranks keep the spirits up, I remember back in fifth year everyone was gloomy at the attacks, pranks cheer people up, well at least you don't get many detentions, me and Padfoot spent more time in detention that out, so no problem whatsoever Potter"

"Damn I forgot we cant do that anymore, you know I call you Potter and you call me Evans, no fun now" James chuckled "Well you are stuck with Potter for the rest of your life" he smiled, "I don't really mind then" Lily said, her and James shared a brief kiss. So this is what having parents is like Harry thought. Harry noticed something, his parents looked no older that 21, they remained at the age in which they died. James and Lily noticed his thoughtful expression.

"What is it Harry?"

"I'm just thinking, you two don't look older than 21, do you think you will age?" at that moment whispers could be heard from the outside Moony don't pull me I'm trying to listen Sirius voice could be heard, Padfoot, step away from that door! Lupin said. James got Harry's wand which was lying on the bed and waved it, the door opened, Sirius and Remus came inside.

Sirius pointing between him and Lupin "I think Harry is absolutely right, it's no fair me and Remus are getting old and you two are at the spring of youth"

"Just who are you calling old I'm only 37, and so are you" Lupin said mockingly

Lily was about to open her mouth to speak but someone beat her to it

"Don't worry you will age" Everyone looked at Lillian, she began to sit up, the last of the golden light disappeared.

"Ah Lillian nice of you to join us, are you ok?" Sirius asked worried, afterall it was thanks to her he was back.

"I'm fine Mr. Black, as this was the first time I used this particular gift I had no idea it would knock me out so quickly."

"Lillian I think its better you explain what you did and how, I'm afraid many of them don't know who you are yet" Remus suggested

"Of cause Remus, you are right as always" Lillian said, Remus smiled at this, being a member of the Order he already knew Lillian.

"Now now, I'm Mr. Black but you call Remus by his first name, I'm offended" he said jokingly. Lillian smiled "Sirius then" Sirius nodded.

"Well I think we should get downstairs there's no point explaining now and then having to explain again to the rest of the Order about your resurrections" She got up, closed her eyes and her dirty white robes were replaced with baby blue ones, the golden wand appeared in her hand, "task completed" she said the wand split into 3 once more, she took the wand closest to her and the other two disappeared. Her own wand disappeared right after. She led them down the stairs and into the kitchen, unfortunately only Molly Weasley was there.

"Oh I wondered when you would be ok" she gave Lillian a hug, which Lillian welcomed with a warm smile. Molly's gaze turned to Lily, James and Sirius; she quickly approached then and took each into a warm hug "Oh Lily I missed you so much"

"Molly! I missed you too" Lily said, the two women were in a tight embrace, she let go and embraced Lillian once more "You gave me a fright Lillian, don't you ever do that to me again, thank you so much for bringing them back, the Order is no where near as fun without the three Marauders in it" James, Sirius and Remus had proud expressions on their faces. "I'm sorry Molly, I'll try to control my exhaustion levels better, and you will never have to thank me" Lillian responded smiling.

"Seeing that hardly anyone is here I guess we will have to wait until the full Order is assembled so that I can make the necessary explanations, however if you really want them now I guess I can do it now." a chorus of It's fine and we can wait could be heard throughout the table. "Perfect" she said smiling, I know its 7 am and none of you has had sleep but I suggest breakfast" they all nodded, Molly and Lily made to stand up to start preparing the meal but Lillian stopped them.

"No need, everything is prepared already" Lillian said, her wand appeared in her hand and she began to tap the tip of her against her cheek in thought "Let's see what we are going to have" she waved her wand and a banquet fit to rival that of Hogwarts appeared in front of them, the table set too, everyone's favourite drinks in their cups already. Many thanks could be heard and people dug into their food. When they were finished the rest of the food and dirty dishes disappeared. Penna burst into flames over the table and flew towards Lillian, landing silently in front of her. Almost as if the two were telepathically communicating Lillian stood up and addressed the table.

"I'm afraid I have urgent matters to attend to, the Minister just doesn't seem to get the point that I don't like him" Lillian said, quiet laughs were heard, Lillian closed her hand and reopened quickly, on her palm was a small red box with a dark red ribbon around it "Happy Birthday Harry" she placed it in front of Harry, Penna flew onto her shoulder "Let's go Penna" and both disappeared.

Harry got the box and opened it, inside was a dark red slightly brown gem, it had a necklace made of interlining gold and silver thread. Gasps were heard around the room. Harry asked a sincere "What?"

"Harry what you are holding… that's a… Living Genm, it's said that only the people in the Merlin bloodline posses these, it's the only known thing that makes you immune to the Unforgivable Curses" Remus said shocked

Wow Harry thought, why was Lillian doing all this for him, risking her health and most importantly her life? His thoughts were interrupted by Hermione.

"Lillian does have a point, we haven't celebrated Harry's birthday yet, it is after all his 17th his of age now."

"Talking of 17th you should be getting for Magical Inheritance soon, I remember when I got mine, two days after I turned 17, made me more mature, and your mother couldn't resist my new looks, she said 'I do' 7 months later" James said

Lily looked at him with a smile of her face "Calm your ego down James, remember that screwed up love potion I saved you from, that would have undoubtedly make you ill for the remaining school year as a result of your good looks, besides if I didn't say 'I do' you would have stopped asking me to marry you, and that was after the hundred times you asked me to go out with you"

"I forgot about that and let me correct you I asked you 5 times to marry me, but the last 4 of those was just to make sure that the first time wasn't my imagination playing tricks one me, and I asked you exactly 256 times to go out with me in the course of 7 years" he answered with an amused tone in his voice.

Harry found this amusing, THE James Potter asking a girl 256 times to go out with him, wow men in the Potter family really did not have a good touch with women. He smiled to himself and the remainder of the day was spent planning Harry Potter's birthday party.
