It was 5 o'clock in the evening; the Trio had been doing the summer homework the whole day and where upstairs finishing it, hopefully before dinner. While that was going on downstairs something much more interesting was going on. Lillian, who was back from a meeting with the Heads of Departments of the Ministry, had James, Lily, Sirius and Remus gathered in the kitchen.
Lillian said "So are we all set? (A.N. I'm not going to tell you what they were talking about, that's for later in the story, I'm evil he he)
The other four occupants nodded.
"Excellent! You have no idea how much time you saved me. Thank Grandpa! Now all I have to do is write to them, pray they'll believe me. Now I have a meeting with the director of the Daily Prophet, so I doubt I will be coming to dinner. Good evening to all" and with that she Disaparated
Lily turned to James "That girl has got to start resting more; she has way too much on her shoulders for a 17 year old. I bit like Harry really. Both of them have too many responsibilities for their age."
James nodded "Both of them received powerful inheritances and have not had the easiest life, you can't really blame them can you?"
They noticed that Sirius was staring at them with amazement in his eyes.
"What are you looking Padfoot? Do I have something on my face?"
"It's that now that I look at you closely you seem to be aging rather quickly, Lily you're starting to have wrinkles around for eyes and a few grey hair and James! You do too"
"I have wrinkles! Well Lillian did warn us age would catch up to us, I'm not too worried about it, but the grey hairs are nothing a good Anti-Aging potion can't rectify. As for the wrinkles I get them from having to put up with you Sirius Black, I hope you get a wife soon and calm down a bit or I dunno, but I'll end up in the Crazy Ward at St. Mungos if you keep it up. Seriously James I don't know how you slept in the same dormitory as him for 7 years"
"Well he was so damn funny that for a laugh I put up with him" James said laughing
"Not funny" Sirius conjured (wandlessly) a pillow and threw it at James's face. He then Operated to his bedroom and took an afternoon nap. James and Lily went into the living room and fell asleep on the coach.
Half an hour later Molly came downstairs to start preparing dinner. She smiled at seeing the couple; it was good to have her old friends back at least Harry had someone to truly support him in the war. She went into the kitchen and prepared dinner. It was at 7 that the table was fully set and the food was out, she set out a potronus with the message that dinner was ready to every occupant in the house. Ten minutes later everyone was sat down, enjoying the meal.
"Where's Lillian?" Harry asked when he noticed that the chair at the end of the end was empty.
"She had a meeting with the director of the Daily Prophet, probably to make sure no nonsense came out about her"
Harry nodded and continued. The rest of the evening went without much happening. They sat in the large living room, talking about old times, and occasional tales of what Sirius used to do to the poor souls in the Death Realm. At 10 o'clock everyone called it a night and went to bed. At 1 am a very tired Lillian Operated into her bedroom but instead of going bed she decided to continue with her impeding tasks, she sat down at her desk and began to write what would be a rather large stack of letters by the end of the night. At 5 am she got into her bed, Penna ready to sooth her nightmares, and fell asleep before her head hit the pillow.

It was 8 o'clock in the morning when Harry went into her room, he knocked but no one answered, Mrs. Weasley had told him to wake Lillian up for breakfast. When he entered he noticed the stack of letters on top of her desk and walked over to her bed. 'She looks beautiful' he thought 'no get those thoughts out of your head Harry Potter, Ginny remember Ginny' but no he couldn't remember Ginny he remembered how warm and sweet Lillian was when he hugged her, 'no Harry, STOP!' he calmed himself down. And shock her awake. No response, he tried again.
"Ummm what?" Lillian asked slowly
"Sorry to wake you Lillian, Mrs. Weasley says breakfast is done"
"I'll be down in a minute, thank you"
Harry left, Lillian got up, cleaned herself off and closed her eyes, the closes from yesterday changed into traditional dark green witch robes (A.N. the clothes Lillian wears, in my head I always she her wearing medieval type clothes so cloak, sometimes hood and all that business, I know it sounds weird but that's how the character first popped up in my head, oh when I say she has a witches hat on they are like the ones McGonagall wears in the movies) and matching dark green witche's hat. The dark green went perfectly with her mahogany coloured hair and blue eyes. She made her way down to the kitchen and sat down at the end of the table, instantly getting 'good mornings' from everyone. Molly came over to her and placed a plate in front her, noticing the dark shadows under Lillian's eyes she grabbed her face and made Lillian look straight into her eyes. Everyone looking at the two.
"Lillian Merlin! What are those horrid shadows under your eyes? When did you get in, and don't try to lie to me because I was up until 11 and you did not arrive before then." Molly exclaimed
"Well I umm, umm I got in at around 1 am" she said trying to avoid the subject
"That is still not late enough to get such dark shadows" Molly insisted
Lillian gave up "Fine I stayed up doing some postponed letter writing until 5 am"
"You only slept 3 hours! You will have breakfast and then you will go straight to bed!" Molly told her in a motherly tone
"I can't do that, I got meetings to attend, things to sign, I… I … I don't remember you being like this with Dumbledore, and he was much older than me, he hardly slept"
"Well I suppose, but Dumbledore knew what he was doing"
"And I don't? Molly I know I am young but I have been monitoring and doing full surveillance shifts since I was 10, thank you for worrying but I'm fine" Lillian said in a very calm voice, mature beyond her years. She concentrated and her shadows disappeared. "See? All better"
Molly continued "Just because you have metamorphism powers and can hide problems doesn't mean they are not there. But seeing as you made up your mind all ready I know there's nothing I can do"
Lillian smiled. At that moment Hedwig came in through the small open window near the ceiling carrying the Daily Prophet. "Thanks Hedwig" Harry said he noticed it was a rather thick edition, looking at the cover he turned to Lillian. I think its better you read this Lillian" he handed Lillian the Daily Prophet, she eccepted knowing already what was on it. She briefly looked at it and handed it to Sirius who was seating to her left, she grabbed a piece of toast while Sirius began reading aloud:
Heir of Merlin Comes Out into the Open
By John L. Boatoff
It is with my full delights to announce to our readers that the mysterious rumours about an Heir of Merlin, who we had briefly written about in the last edition of the Daily Prophet has finally confirmed and revealed information about themselves, I, director and chief editor of the Daily Prophet had the honour of meeting the Heir to the most powerful wizard of all times myself and bring into this article the long awaited and full facts concerning the Heir.
Her name is Lillian Merlin and she is for the lack of better words a stunningly beautiful 17 year old woman. While interviewing her I asked questions on her opinion of recent events like the Second War and the recent death of newly appointed Headmistress Minerva McGonagall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who died a few days ago. Following is a brief part of the interview:
JB: Where do you stand in the Second War?
LM: I stand on the Light side of course, I in no way agree with what V-(You-Know-How) is doing. His just a coward hiding behind Dark Magic.
JB: Those are very dangerous words Miss. Merlin, aren't you afraid of what might happen to you?
LM: Not at all, I have magic to spare, when it comes to fighting V-(You-Know-You).
JB: Well this leads to my next question, what sort of powers does an Heir of Merlin have? Are you perhaps more powerful than him?
LM: I am many times stronger than my ancestor, when it comes to powers I'm sorry I cannot divulge that because obviously they are valuable secrets when fighting the Dark Arts, but I can say they are plenty.
JB: Why have the Merlin family never been heard of before?
LM: Well we were always powerful and it would create an imbalance in the magical community, also we were devoted to keeping our ancestor's last wish, and that was secrecy, so that I will say is mostly personal.
JB: Understandable, so why has the Merlin family decided to come out? If there are more of you, will the whole family be involved in Wizarding affairs?
LM: The situation concerning V-(You-Know-Who) had gotten out of hand; I am here to aid the Light side into victory. When it comes to my family, I am the last left, my family has died out. But believe me I am enough.
JB: So is the Boy-Who-Lived no longer necessary?
LM: You will never hear me say that ever. I am here to aid not to do, Harry Potter is and will always be the Wizarding World's destined saviour.
JB: How do you know this?
LM: I am a Seer.
At the end of the interview I asked Miss Merlin that now with the death of Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall who will be leading the Order of the Phoenix and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizard. Miss Merlin kindly told us that she herself at age 17 will be leading the Light forces against You-Know-Who in battle as the new Leader of the Order of the Phoenix. At such a young age carrying the weight of a crime fighting organization on her shoulders is an incredible feat. However she did not say who would be the new Headmaster or Headmistress of Hogwarts, so we can only guess it has not yet been decided. We of the Daily Prophet and Wizarding World wish you the best of luck, but then again not much less can be expected from the Heir of the greatest wizard of all time.

Lillian had finished her toast and sighed
"I told him not to make me look like some hero, not much I can do now, Penna" the phoenix appeared next to her in a burst of flames "you know what to do, thank you" the phoenix disappeared with another burst of flames. She nodded to James, Lily, Sirius and Remus, they nodded back in understanding. She got up and prepared to leave.
"I must go, lots of businesses to attend to, Molly everything great as usual, thank you, see you all in the evening." And with that she left.
Molly said "If that girl calls that dissent breakfast then I don't know what is".
"Molly I'm sure she knows what she is doing, Harry darling mum, dad, Sirius and Remus will be out for the day we have to do some things for the Order, you can busy yourself with the homework's you didn't finish yesterday, we will be back before dinner don't worry, then tomorrow we can go and buy your school supplies. I want to spoil my son rotten for 16 years without presents" Lily said
"I completely agree darling, even if we empty the private vault we will compensate you."
"You don't have to, besides I haven't even gotten my Hogwarts letter yet"
James ignored the first part of his comment "I'm sure it will arrive today, now behave with Molly until we get back"
Harry said a quick "Ok" as his parents were about to go out the door he called them "Do you know that age is catching up to you?"
"Don't worry son, we've been told" Lily said slapping Sirius over the head. The trio seating at the table laughed at the 4 old friends and continued with their breakfast.

Hope you are enjoying the story, I plan on writing a battle scene in the near future, maybe in the next couple of chapters, I cant wait to get into the Hogwarts part of the story, I have everything in my head, but because this will be quite a lengthy story it will take time.
phantombrick- in this story Ron has pretty much got over his jealousy of Harry because I think he finally began to accept that being friends with Harry Potter is not like being friends with some normal kid.
Thank you Blue-Eyed Chica once again for the reviews and sorry for making it confusing, I hope not to do it again. Thank you for all those who added me to their Favourites and Alerts lists, even though you didn't leave a review the Alerts and favouritism is appreciated, thanks you all.
