Harry Potter and the Unexpected Heir
I just wanted to clarify that actually I posted the same two chapters (16 and 17 I think) so I deleted one, that's why instead of 21 chapters there is 20. Well 21 with this one
: ) Enjoy

From last chapter:
Her eyes looked up to meet his. She smiled. He took her by her hand and led her up the stairs. He took out his wand and conjured rose petals, he levitated them and placed them around the room, candles were lit up and the light from the early morning coming through the windows was blocked away, some of the rose petals took the shape of the magical power sign of love on the ground. The two soulmates looked at each other and their clothes materialised away. They stepped into the power sign, instantly a blue light encircled the sign. They joined hands and felt their power join, it was like the previous night; their souls were linked. Harry received Lillian's power of Metamorphism and Lillian gained Harry's animagus Silver-Eyed Lion form (one which was restricted to the Gryffindor's line). The petals lifted from their resting place and swirled around the two, then they congregated at a spot over their hearts, but they had no shape yet.
The two soulmates felt more together that ever, they kissed like they had never before, more passionate than both could ever imagine. They fell onto the bed, and carefully putting up contraception charms they were joined physically as one.
When the two were sleeping afterwards the circles over their hearts started to shine with a blue light, the two spots took the shape of the heart and ribbon sign in the book. The sign for Eternal Lovers.

The two teenagers woke up at 5am the next day. It was Monday so Harry had lessons. They woke up at the same time and analysed the tattoos that now were on their chests.
"We have to be careful with what we wear now. This symbol is known to the magical community, they will defenetly know what it is." Lillian said.
"At least the men know that you are taken" Harry said, a hint of jealousy in his voice.
"Well we are practically married now" Lillian said blushing.
"Really? Well you were one blushing bride Lillian Merlin Potter" Harry said smiling.
"And you were one embarrassed groom Harry Potter!" she said meaning to stand up, ignoring the light soreness of her bottom half. She wrapped herself around a bed sheet and got out of bed going to look at the sunrise. Harry joined her, he too was covered in a bed sheet, and he wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned his head on her shoulder.
"I wish we could stay like this forever" Harry said "It's so peaceful that it's almost alien to me"
"I understand but you know we are both busy people especially me"
"Well me, as your husband, have the privilege of helping you. So Mrs Potter what do we have to do today?" Harry asked smirking
"Well I cleared my schedule this weekend so that we had some time to be together but that also means that my week is extra busy. Today I have a Wizengamot meeting, the first actually since people found out about me. I think your parents should be going, but that's at nine, for now I have Treaties, paperwork, meetings to schedule the usual boring stuff"
"Well I don't really mind, I can help with the paperwork stuff, to say the truth I find lessons really useless. I mean the teaching is great but I already know the material"
"It must be hard for you; your inheritance was unusual even in the magical community"
"Yeah it seems that unusual stuff keeps following me around" he said "Ok its five thirty in the morning what do you want to do? I don't feel like going to sleep" he said
Lillian thought for a while, she let the sheet fall and clothes materialised on her, she waved her hand and the same happened to Harry.
"Come I want to show you something" she led him out through a hidden door in her room; they ran up the spiral staircase and opened the hatch at the top. They were standing on a tower top overlooking the castle. Now that Harry could see there were four large statues surrounding the castle; each one representing the house animals. They were made of stone and stood on tall pillars.
"I made them, they were made using the four elements, earth and fire to make lava, water to cool it down and wind to shape it, when we need them they will be very helpful. But what I want to show you is something else; it's quite far from the castle so I thought I would show you another way of flying"
"What do you mean another way of flying?" the moment he finished asking she took his hand and pulled him with her, downwards towards the ground.
Harry thought of screaming but he knew that she would never let him crash so she must have something on her mind. He instead concentrated on the wind hitting his face and the adrenaline pumping through his veins.
They were getting closer and closer to the floor when he felt being picked up, the wind encircled him and he felt the both of them soar high into the sky, they flew around the towers of the castle and fields, they were flying for about twenty minutes, at an incredible speed, they must have covered kilometres of Scottish countryside. They came upon a clearing, surrounded by dense forestation.
"The trick is not for you to fly, instead wind makes you fly, since I control wind I control the flying" Lillian said
"That was one hell of an experience but you know next time you decide to jump off a tower could you please warn me first?" Harry asked
She smiled and nodded "This is it"
"What's it? It's just a clearing" he said
"That's because it is under a modified version of the Fidelius charm, only people with Merlin blood or Merlin permission may be able to come in, as we are bonded the charm recognises you and lets you in" she touched a small rock on the ground, if Harry hadn't seen her do it he would not have seen the stone. The stone shone a blue colour and grew; it became a mighty archway with Celtic looking handwriting at the top May Peace be Found by Those Who Dwell Inside it said.
"Welcome Harry, to Merlin Hall" she led him inside.
The inside didn't have any indication of being an underground cave. There was no ceiling, it looked like the world outside, if Harry hadn't entered the cave he would think that he was still outside. There was the sun, clouds and a comfortable temperature, garden's that extended as far as the eye could see, and in the very middle was the largest manor that Harry had ever seen. It was completely white but it had a welcoming air to it. As they approached the doors they opened revealing a grandly decorated entrance hall. She led Harry around the house and then led him to her room. Her room was larger than even the one at Hogwarts and that was saying something, there were books, piles of parchments, a large bed, various windows, a huge bathroom and all around the room there were paintings of countryside sceneries and landscapes.
"Did-" Harry began, he was cut off by Lillian's lips. Falling onto the bed, the two started to get passionate.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
When the two did emerge from the room they were in a much happier mood, if that was possible. Lillian led him outside through the back. In the back was a stable and a dome type building a bit like greenhouses. She led him into the stable, she stopped at the entrance, from the outside it seemed fairly normal sized but now you saw that the interior was charmed to expand. It must have been the world's largest stable.
"Whistle" she said. Harry did. Seconds after a large horse, the deepest black emerged from one of the large cubicles of the stable; he had intelligent eyes, mighty muscles on his legs and his mane fell to the right in long perfectly groomed strands.
"Nice choice Nightstar" she said to the horse.
"Nightstar?"
"Yeah, this stable houses every breed of horses in the world, extinct and non-extinct. Nightstar is an Egyptian Magus Stallion, his breed became extinct 1,248 years ago. My family took the very last five. No one was ever able to mount him; he told me that he was waiting for the right person to come (A.N. Remember she can Beastspeak). I guess you have found him haven't you Nightstar" she said. The horse nodded with his head. Lillian whistled. From the same cubicle from which Nightstar came from emerged a white version. Again similar intelligent eyes the colour of silver, her mane was white as snow but she was slightly smaller than Nightstar.
"This is Starlight, she's my Egyptian Magus Stallion" the horse nodded in agreement. The two teenagers saddled the horses and mounted them, somehow for Harry when he mounted Nightstar it seemed that he had been ridding his whole life and knew just what to do.
"I love animals, so most of my free time I spent it out here, I know it may look like the outside to you, but for me, who can see through most disguising magic, it is not very impressive, or its just me that became used to it. The animals like it so I do too"
"Thank you for showing me this" they rode for five minutes and came upon another clearing, but it was not so clear. There was 9 graves perfectly aligned to each other, right in the middle stood one Charlotte Merlin. Lillian saw him looking at it; she started talking to him but kept her eyes on the graves, her eyes a bit dazed out as if she was remembering the past.
"When I returned from my first sneak peak of the world I found my family all dead, this you know already, I buried my mother, grandparents, uncles and unties, cousins. But I noticed there were two missing my brother and my uncle Richard. I went looking for them, I found my uncle, his body was in a terrible state, I guess he died after being captured and they just left him there. My brother I never found, I can't feel his presence in the world anymore so I know he too is gone. We are twins that how I can sense him" she explained "The rest you know" she added quietly.
Harry took her hand and kissed it "We all have troubled pasts, let's make the future a better place. Together?" he asked
She nodded. When they noticed it was 8am. Lillian had an hour before her meeting and Harry had lessons. They took the horses back, and left.
"We can come back when we want, but next time we can take a Portkey or Apparate, it's faster. I say we Apparate now, there's really not much time" Harry nodded in agreement. And the next time he blinked he was in her room.
"Now we are all sweaty what do you say we take a shower" She asked.
They got into the shower and emerged twenty minutes later, wrapped in towels. They dried each other off and got dressed. Lillian was wearing the traditional witch's robes, unfortunately the heavy type. The Merlin Coat of Arms was clearly visible on the front of her cloak. They heard a nock on the door. After a 'yes' from Lillian, James, Lily and Sirius came in.
"Ha I see my godson-" Sirius started
"Harry dear so good to see, we were looking for you, this seemed like the most probable place to look for you" Lily said
"You see son we have lots of lessons to teach today and we really can't miss them and with this Wizengamot meeting we thought that you could attend for us, we couldn't help but notice your face of boredom in class and we realised the material we are teaching you already know it all so we want you to take over for us" James said
"We need you to cover the Potter and Black family seats" Lily said
"I think you should say yes Harry, after all Lillian is going too, a whole day together. Ha ha what do you think?" Sirius asked
"I would like to go. About time I got given the opportunity for people to listen to me" Harry said. His mother handed him a thick cloak with the Potter family crest, Sirius took his wand out and by waving it the Black family crest appeared on the other side.
"I think it's time to go son" James said "You will be leaving by floo powder to the Ministry"
Harry nodded and along with Lillian headed towards the fireplace. When Lillian had gone through he stepped into the warm green flames, the last thing he saw was the smirk on his parents and godfather's faces.
