They remained coddled together until sunrise. Both wake up in each others arms just as the sun was breaking the horizon. They watched the sun rise and marvelled the reflection on the lake surface, treasuring the time they had together before any students came out. They both knew that they would have to keep it a secret. They were both talking telepathically, not wanting to break the tranquil silence around them.

'What are we going to do now Harry?' Lillian asked

'Well I'm sure my parents, Ron and Hermione wont mind but everyone else may be a problem. You're 17 but you are still Headmistress of the school, I think the Board of Governors and the parents will not like seeing you in a relationship with one of your students' Harry said.

'True so should we keep it a secret?'

'For now I think it's wise' Harry said

'Let's enjoy while we can'

'Yeah, do you want to get going?' Harry asked

'I think we should, someone may see us here' she said.

They got up and made their way through the castle grounds. When they neared the castle Lillian had an idea.

"What do you say we go down to the kitchens for some early breakfast?"

Harry put his arm around her shoulders and grinning he said "I think it is an excellent idea"

She smiled back and together they made their way towards the kitchens. When they entered all the house elves surrounded them, offering their help.

"We are here for some early breakfast please" Lillian asked

"Of course Headmistress, will the young master eat too?" one of the house elves asked.

"Yes" she replied. Almost instantly they were seated on one of the tables with plates of food in front of them. Dobby was coming towards them with a large smile on his face.

"Harry Potter sir! Harry Potter has come to visit Dobby?" the house elf asked

"Amongst other things" Harry replied. Dobby jumped up in happiness.

"So how have you been Dobby?" Harry asked

"Dobby has been well thank you sir, Kreacher and Winky have both been working better well like a good house elf should" Dobby bowed to both and went away to help the other house elves to prepare breakfast for the rest of the school.

He turned towards Lillian who was eating cereal. He smiled, she looked up at him.

"Why are you smiling?" she asked

"Just thinking you're beautiful" she smiled at him, slightly blushing.

"Not to break our romantic atmosphere here but I was wondering when we would start looking for the Horcruxes?" Harry asked, his tone turning serious.

"Well I'm actually very near to locating one, when I get its exact location you will know"

"How are you looking for them if you are always here?" Harry enquired.

"Well… actually a phoenix is looking for it"

"Penna's looking for Horcruxes, I never knew phoenixes could do that"

"It's not Penna that's looking for them… um… I forgot to tell you something last night. You see Penna is not the only phoenix I have. She is bond to me but there is another one I look after; his name is William. William still hasn't found a Lord to bond with so I'm looking after him until he does" she explained

"What does this have to do with me?" Harry asked

"Well Penna and I think that you might be a suitable candidate"

"Me? Bound to a phoenix? Well I don't really mind to tell you the truth. It'll be an honour actually"

"I have to warn you, William is not an ordinary phoenix like Penna, that's why I sent him to look for the Horcruxes. William is a White Phoenix Harry. White Phoenixes are very rare; they went into hiding thousands of years ago because people kept hunting them. Only a few every millennia come out to find a Lord. William has the hope of finding one soon. White Phoenixes are different from Red Phoenixes like Penna or Fawkes, they have tracking abilities and if necessary they can take human form for short periods of time" she said.

"Oh I see, I guess I'm lucky then. He can really help me to beat Voldermort. When is he due back?" Harry asked.

"Sometime this weekend" They finished eating, thanked the house elves and left. When they left Lillian turned to Harry.

"Do you have anything to do today?" she asked

"No" he replied

"Homework?"

"No"

"Quidditch?"

"Monday is try outs"

"Dates with girlfriends?" she asked smiling

"I only have one girlfriend and she's right in front of me" He said grinning. Before she could say anything else he met his lips with hers. He snaked his arms around her waist and she lifted her arms to play with his hair. They only parted when they both ran out of air.

"Harry someone could have seen us" she said.

"It's six thirty in the morning; I think hardly anyone would be up at this time"

"Fine since you have nothing to do meet me in the Room of Requirement in twenty minutes. Dress something that you can easily move in. Bye!" Smiling, she Disapparated with a nearly silent 'pop'. Leaving him dumbstruck staring at the spot where Lillian used to be.

'I thought you couldn't Apparate or Disapparate within Hogwarts' he thought.

'Usually you cant but she as Headmistress has the power to do so and she can give permission to other people to do so. You as Heir of two of my founders can also Apparate or Disapparate with my halls' the voice of Hogwarts said in his head.

"Well thank you for the information. I will put it to good use"

'You're welcome my master' the castle said before retrieving to the back of his mind.

He Apparated to his bedroom and changed, wondering why she would want to meet him in the Room of Requirement. He then Apparated just outside the door, he was about five minutes early.

He waited for Lillian, she came right on time. She was dressed in a white t-shirt and black jogging trousers; on her neck was a chain him a single piece of carved wood hanging from the end. Smiled, pecked him on the lips and stood in front of the wall. Soon a door started to form itself and they entered. The room was pretty much the same as when he used it with the DA.

"I was thinking that I could train you, you have abilities that other people do not have, so it would be pretty hard for them to train you. For now we will start with the basics, I need to see were you are. I'm going to train you magically, physically and mentally. I was going to invite Ron and Hermione but they have animagus lessons with Sirius today, you will train with them separately, your mother and father will be doing that.

"Couldn't you have told me this before? I would have more time to get ready" Just as he finished talking he was thrown back into a wall.

"The enemy does not wait for you to be ready Harry darling. Come one try to hit me"

"Are you serious? I'm going to have to hurt you. For real?" he asked

"As hard as you can, as much as you can" she said.

He attacked her with a burn spell but it didn't even touch her, she didn't even say anything. She was doing wordless magic Harry realised. 'Very well' he thought. For two hours straight they wordlessly battled, at one point Harry disarmed Lillian, making her wand fly 10 metres behind her. But to his astonishment she sent him flying back towards a wall again, he realised that she was still as good at wandless magic as she was with one. He tried a different tactic. When he got closer to her he sent a blinding charm towards her, he transfigured a stone to a dagger and quickly sending a stunner at her, put the dagger to her neck.

"Did I win?" he asked

"No, look behind you"

Just then he felt something cold on the back of his neck, turning around he noticed that she had snaked her arm under his and was pointing a sword to his neck, the necklace around her neck was gone, he looked at the sword, noticing the wooden carved handle, 'her staff' he thought. Noticing his expression Lillian smiled.

"Always notice for things on the attacker, you looked at my necklace before but did not think it may be a weapon, however you did well. I did not say we were only fighting magic and you figured how you could incorporate other things in the battle, I'm just shocked it took you two hours.

"I'm kind of new at this" he said

"I know, but you did well, for someone that only started now, you are a quick learner so you should pick up quickly, since I've been doing this since I was like four so I'm used to it. I think soon I may have to go up a limiter.

"I always wanted to ask what this limiter thing you keep on talking about?" Harry asked catching his breath.

"Every Merlin places limiters on themselves, this is because we posses an extremely high amount of magical energy and abilities, by setting limiters we can control them more nicely. Each limiter has its abilities. I have three limiters… how can I compare? Um, ok my first limiter I'm at Dumbledore's level, the powers I have available are control over Water and Wind, enhanced strength and senses, and some animagus forms things like that. My second limiter I am slightly above Merlin's level and I have control over Fire and Earth, shape shifting, I don't need a wand for most spells and I have more animagus forms. My third limiter is the most important, if I ever release my third limiter in battle it means we are in trouble. I have powers over weather, it is the only time when I have sufficient power to use my Resuscitation gift, I have super human strength, large and destructive animagus forms, and other powers I hope I wont have to use too soon." She explained

"Why does you appearance change? I noticed when you brought back my parents that your hair and eye colour slightly changed" Harry questioned

"What you saw that night was my true appearance, the high amounts of magical energy that my body emits make my features look more… defined. Without my third limiter I am about 500 times more powerful than Merlin" she said blushing.

Harry stared at her in shock, how someone that small could hold so much power. How could someone so young contain so much power… burden perhaps? It was ironic really he though, Voldie was going to the ends of the Earth in search of such power for his evil purposes. Yet right in front of him stood someone with more power than Voldie could ever imagine, but was instead using it for the good of humankind. Harry had been so lost in his own mind that he did not notice that Lillian was staring at him, waiting for him to speak.

"Right, thank you for sharing this with me"

"Do you want to continue with training? Or are you tired already Mr. Potter?" Lillian asked cheekily.

"I would very much like to continue Miss Merlin. Thank you!" Harry said smiling.

They carried on for the rest of the day, at noon Lillian made food appear for them (like she did at Grimmauld Place) and they continued on. Lillian went on to introducing Harry to weapon combat, which included swords, Sais, bows and staffs. She also began teaching him physical combat, martial arts as such. This would be great in a fight, seeing Voldermort and his followers completely ignored the muggle ways.

As night approached they returned to Lillian's office, completely exhausted, when they opened the door a surprise was waiting for them. William had returned.
