Fan Fiction ❯ Harry Potter and the Dual Heir ❯ Meeting the Family ( Chapter 2 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

"Yes Albus, but Harry needs someone to love and care for him. Certainly right now! After the death of Sirius he needs his friends desperately!" the depserate voice of Molly Weasley said.

Albus Dumbledore smiled lightly and just as he was about to speak, Mrs. Figg's head appeared in his fire. "Albus!" she shrieked loudly, "Albus, Harry's gone! He's disappeared!" Dumbledore jumped out of his chair and stared at Mrs. Figg's head. Mrs. Weasley gasped and said, "Harry? What happened to him?! Where is he?! Where did my son go?!"

"Calm down Molly." said Dumbledore, then turning to Mrs. Figg's head he said, "Now Arabella, what happened?"

"I don't know Headmaster!" Mrs. Figg shrilled, "Petunia raced in here like the wind, screamed he was gone, that he disappeared in a flash of light, and that he wasn't their problem anymore. Then she ran out wailing!"

Mrs. Weasley rounded on Dumbledore, he Weasley temper reaching it's height. "You find Harry." she said dangerously, "You find my son. This is your fault. Had you let him come and stay at Grimmauld Place none of this would have happened. You find him, Albus, or I will personally find him myself."

All the Headmaster of Hogwarts could do was stare in shock. Harry....His surrogate grandson was gone. But to where?

"What do you mean, Harry is gone?" demanded Ron Weasley, from the kitchen of Grimmauld Place. He stared at his mother defiantly.

"Harry has disappeared Ron, Darling. He's disappeared." Mrs. Weasley said, her voice cracking. Hermione Granger sobbed quietly and fell into Ron's arms. Ron sat in shock, but willingly put his arms around Hermione, and buried his face in her hair, crying. Ginny Weasley stood ubruptly and ran out of the room, tears streaming down her face. Remus Lupin lay his head down on the table and sobbed. "Harry!" screamed Hermione, before slipping into unconsiousness.

Two months later Hermione, Ron, and Ginny got off of the Hogwarts Express and gazed at Hogwarts. Ginny and Hermione started to cry and Ron's eyes teared up. They felt the loss of Harry not being there like something weighing down on them. "Hey Weasel, Weaselette, Mudblood." came a drawling voice.

"Shove off Malfoy." Ron snarled. "Oh..Touche. Is it because Potty was kidnapped? Aww....Weasel misses Potty! How very Gryffindor of you." Malfoy said

"Shut it Malfoy." said Hermione dangerously.

"I think Potter got what he deserved, the filthy mudblood lover. Good riddance to him, I'd s.." Malfoy began but was cursed so hard that he flew backwards, and when he stood, he had bats squeezing themselves painfully out of his nose.

"We said leave Malfoy." Ginny said coldly, keeping her wand pointed at him. "That means go..now." Malfoy threw the trio a scathing look and stalked away, his cronies flocking him. Hermione and Ron gaped openly at Ginny who just climbed into a carriage. They glanced at each other, grasped hands, and followed her into the carriage.

Dumbledore stood gravely to make his yearly announcements. "As some of you have heard, though most of you have not, one of our dear friends has gone missing. Harry Potter was kidnapped from his bedroom over a month ago and has not been seen or heard from." he began, and a collective gasp spread through the Great Hall. Hermione leaned on Ron's shoulder as silent tears streamed down her face and the entire Great Hall stared at them. "We must all pray for him, and anyone who has any information, please come forth and tell me after the feast." Then he gave his usual announcements and the feast began.

Suddenly the doors to the Great Hall burst open and two black-clad figures stepped through the doors. The entire Hall stared at the new-comers and the staff jumped to attention, bringing out their wands. Professor Dumbledore kept his seat, and asked calmly, "Who are you, and what may we do for you?"

"Professor Dumbledore," one acknowledged in a deep voice. "You may remember me from long ago. My sister also attended this school, as well as my nephew." Dumbledore's eyebrows shot up in surprise and he said, "You don't mean..."

The man nodded. "Yes..I am Orien Evans. I have come to return some..er..property I borrowed." said the man. His companion elbowed him and Orien took off his hood. There was another gasp as they saw his eyes. 'Harry's eyes.' thought Ginny. Something clicked in her head and she stood up quickly, half running towards Orien and his quiet companion. The entire hall watched in shock as she slapped Orien squarely across the face, then screamed, "BORROWED? YOU BORROWED HIM? HOW COULD YOU DO THAT? I DON'T BLOODY KNOW YOU, BUT YOU BETTER BLOODY BE GLAD!" Then she rounded on the other person and stared for a moment before pushing back the hood and kissing the boy under it passionately. When she finished kissing him, she slapped him fiercely. "HARRY JAMES POTTER I SHOULD KILL YOU." she screamed. Anyone left holding a fork dropped it instantly and stared at the boy that Ginny had just practically attacked. It was none other than Harry Potter himself. Hermione and Ron jumped up from the table and ran over to Harry quickly, hugging him and crying openly. Ginny continued to glare at him and crossed her arms. "I am waiting for an explanation Harry." she said quietly.

"As am I." said Dumbledore, his eyes twinkling. Orien looked at Ginny and nodded. "You must be Ginny." he said, "You are as pretty as Harry said you were. More so I think. You know..You actually look a lot like Lily, and that's as much of a compliment as someone could get." Harry blushed and glared at Orien. "Uncle Orien...shut up." he said. "So..I think I'm going to Dumbledore's office now."

"Mighty fine idea Harry." Dumbledore said, "Minerva if you would watch the students." Professor McGonnagal nodded dumbfoundedly. Dumbledore stood up and followed Harry to the doors, closely followed by Ginny, Ron, Hermione, and Orien. He knew it would be futile to try to stop Harry's best friends from coming.

They all settled into Dumbledore's office and Harry glanced around. After a while, when he didn't speak, Ginny glared at him pointedly, and made an Umbridge-like noise, "Hem hem." Harry grinned and looked at her strangely. "Alright, alright. I'll begin already. But it would be so much easier if the rest of the "clan" was here, so I only have to tell this strange tale once." he said. Dumbledore immediately summoned the rest of the Weasleys and Remus.

"Alright. I want no interruptions, understand?" Harry said meaningfully, and Orien grinned in pride as everyone nodded. "Alright. Here goes." and Harry began his tale.

Flashback
~~~~~~~~~

Harry and the black-clothed man appeared in a large, luxurious room, and Harry heard someone gasp. He turned quickly, wand still out, to see an older woman who had beautiful silver hair, and the same emerald eyes. She was thin, and very elegant looking, being clothed in lavander robes and a silver crown. "Oh Harry." she whispered, and tears began to pour down her cheeks. "You look so much like my Lily, so much like her." she whispered. Harry continued to look around the room, utterly puzzled. The man that had taken Harry from his room turned to him. "My name is Orien, Harry. Orien Evans. I'm your uncle." he said and stook his hand out. Harry just stared stupidly at the man, who smiled, putting the outstretched hand on Harry's shoulder. "It's alright, Harry, I know it is a bit much to take in." Orien said, "I want you to meet someone."

He led Harry over to the silver-haired woman, and said, "Harry, this is your grandmother, Queen Jadelynn Evans. She is Lily and my mother. Also Queen of the Elmindrians"

Harry shook his head, trying to take it all in. "But..I don't have any blood family, other than the Dursley's..." he said and trailed off. Queen Jadelynn smiled. "My dearest Harry, we are your blood family. You are heir to this throne. Destined to be king of the Elmindrians. I know it is hard to take in, my love, but you have ample time to adjust." she said. Then she looked at him and dissolved into a fresh wave of tears. She quickly grabbed Harry into an enormous hug, and held on to him tightly. "I won't lose you like I lost them Harry..I won't." she whispered. Harry hugged her back awkwardly, and looked at Orien. "I have to go back..er...Grandmother." he began, "I have to defeat Voldemort, I have to keep the Wizarding World safe."

"Oh pooh!" said Grandmother Jadelynn, "You have to do no such thing. You have no part in the wizarding world." Harry's face darkened. "I have to save my friends, and if you think that you can keep me from it, just by saying that you are my grandmother, you are dead wrong. They have been there for me since I was eleven, and you haven't been there at all." he said in a deadly calm voice. His grandmother looked shocked and his Uncle Orien looked at him in pride. "This is Lily's son alright. Bet your a prankster like your dad too?"

Harry's face cleared and he grinned. "Yeah, everyone tells me I look just like my dad too, but with my mum's eyes." Orien nodded. "Yeah you do." he said approvingly.

"Now mother, I think it is time to get my nephew here into his rooms." Orien said to his still shocked mother, who nodded. Harry's face darkened again, considerably. "I told you, I am not staying here. I am going to fight my battle in the Wizarding World, with my family."

"We are your family, Harry." Grandmother Jadelynn said weakly.

"Then why didn't you come for me after my parents were murdered?" Harry bellowed, "Why did you make me suffer beatings and verbal abuse with the Dursley's all these years, huh? Do you know how tough it was living there? Why didn't you at least contact me, and tell me that you were alive! I could have been brought up here! But no! You abandoned me."

"We didn't abandon you Harry!" his grandmother cried desperately. "Your Uncle Orien and I fought with everything we had to get you. We threw in our status here, and money, and everything we had Darling! But the ministry of magic would not permit us to have you! They said we didn't have rights to you, since we were weren't in the same world! Albus Dumbledore fought for us, he is a dear friend of mine, but they wouldn't listen even to him. I am so sorry Darling, but we tried, we really tried." she finished and choked on her tears.

Harry looked guiltily at her and smiled lightly. "I'm sorry Grandmother, I had no right to say that. But I can't stay the Weasleys and Hermione are part of my family..I have to save them. Voldemort is going down, as is Cornelius Fudge, for keeping you from me."

Orien grinned. "Man you are just like your parents. Stubborn as hell. But no you don't have to stay here forever, just for a month or so. If you insist on fighting Voldemort, you have to be properly trained, especially in your special..er..abilities you've inherited. This should be highly interesting." he said.

"Special abilities?" asked Harry, confused. "I have special powers from being half Elemindrian?"

Orien smiled lightly. "That and from your fathers side, Harry. Your father was heir to Gryffindor, and something you may not know about Gryffindor is he had vampire blood. Which now flows in your veins."

Harry's mouth gaped open in shock. "So let me get this straight," he said, "I'm half Elemindrian, and half vampire? Not only that but heir to this throne and heir to Godric Gryffindor? By the way, what the bloody hell is an Elemdrian?"

"Oh I can explain that one." a soft voice from the doorway said. A young girl about eleven walked in slowly, her silver hair glistening, her light blue eyes unblinking. She was thin and frail looking, but also had a look of pure determination and power in her eyes. "Jade, what are you doing here?" demanded Orien, "You are supposed to be shopping with your mother."

"I did go shopping father. See this dress? I bought it, it is an exact replica to the one that grandmother has on." she said, guesturing to the dress she was wearing. She turned to Harry. "You must be Harry. I'm your cousin Jadelynn Evans, but everyone calls me Jade, as not to get me confused with Grandmother." She turned to her Grandmother. "Hello Grandmother, it's lovely to see you." she said and kissed her grandmother's cheek. "Now about Elemindrians, Harry." she said, turning back to him. "We were thought to be a died out population of people. We control elements. Ah, I see you are thinking that these people were called Elementals. They are, most of them. But we are Elemindrians, more powerful than Elementals, and with more abilities and different powers. Such as we can change into different animals. Our main animal being one of our special Elemant. We also change into magical creatures, and we are shapeshifters. You get a new shape every year you age, since the time you are thirteen. Meaning you should have three by now. My dad is going to show you how to bring those out, and how to control your newfound powers. By the way since you are half-vampire, your magical powers should be enhanced."

Harry blinked and cocked his head to the side. "That's a bit much to take in at once." he said with a half-laugh, in shock and he fainted.
