The New Lord of Godric Gryffindor

Disclaimer: Sadly, I still don't own this. But, the court cases are wearing down.

A/N THANK YOU FOR THE REVEIWS. Now, send rubbing alcohol for my cut finger!

“Who?”

“You, Harry, are a descendant of Godric Gryffindor. Your father's great-great grandparents took the name Potter to protect them. And, as it is now 16^th birthday, you are entitled to know.” Albus looked at Harry wearily, feeling the power draining from him, slowly, as if someone was slowly drinking away his powers, sip by sip.

“Professor, how can that be possible? My name is Potter, not Gryffindor, WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO BE THE HERO!?” Harry stood; his face beat red, violent tears streaming down his flush cheeks. The prophecy, Sirius, and this, it was too much.

“Harry, please, Silencio, Petrificus. Harry, I'm sorry for all I am dumping on you, but I must finish before you do not know it all. Harry, I am about to tell you every family secret, everything owned, and everything kept in your parents possession. Now, I ask you to please listen. Finite.”

Harry, still upset and slightly peeved at Dumbledore, sat down, and prepared to listen to the one thing he had wanted to know. The truth, knowledge.

“Now, first things first, what happened with Sirius. In his will, he gave Grimmauld Place to Remus, various monetary amounts to the order, and he left you, 100,000 Galleons.” Harry seemed to protest to this, but Albus raised a hand. “He knew you would not want it, so he gave you two choices. You could spend it on friends, family, or you could donate it to charity, or even start your own.”

Satisfied with the contented look on Harry's face, he continued. “Now, you may have wondered how your parents accumulated so much money so quickly, right?” At Harry's nod, Albus drove on. “As you know, your father's friend Remus is a werewolf. Coupled with that, Lily's huge heart, and her close relationship with Remus, they, together, created the Wolfsbane Potion. It generated a lot of wealth for them, in a very short amount of time. That is how it happened, but I don't know anything beyond that general information. You'll have to ask Remus.”

Harry had an awed look in his eyes, the result of understanding, and pride he felt for his parents. Albus had a proud look in his smile and eyes, but they were a façade. Albus needed to finish talking. He started to talk rapidly, trying to get everything out in time.

“Now, another thing, being a Gryffindor should be kept a secret from your foes. Voldemort must not know. There are many things that will be passed on to you when you go to Gringotts this afternoon. Godric's Hollow, your parents' ancestral home, is now yours. And, if you don't know, the Ministry has passed a new law, making it legal for wizards and witches 16 years of age able to perform magic outside of school. You will be taken to the Hollow for the rest of the summer, and I already transferred many wards to that location.”

Albus took a deep breath, and started to hack away violently for about half a minute. Harry looked on, a mixture of fear and horror. Albus Dumbledore was invincible, the most powerful wizard of all time, what is going on? Dumbledore looked like he had gained some wrinkles, and he started to tremor.

“H-h-Harry, now you must know about your powers, everything else Remus and the Weasley's will tell you. Godric was an exceptional wizard, and had many different abilities to aid him to become as great as Rowena, Helga and Salazar. Firstly, he was an expert Elemental. He could control Air, Fire, Water and Earth, as if they were chess pieces when he played against Salazar. You have just manifested this ability, but you need to learn to control. I dare say Hermione should be able to help you there. Secondly, he was a great swordsmen, a natural talent. You showed that with his sword in the Chamber. You will receive the sword when you get to Hogwarts, and carry it with you at all times.”

The tremors started to get worse, the Professor now constantly sputtering. He bared on through it. “Thirdly, he was a master of wandless magic. You have shown this ability before too, in simple spells, like the Lumos spell you used in the alley a year ago, without your wand?” Albus forced a smile here, but started to cough from trying to do this, blood now starting to come up. “Another power, is the power of the Animagi. Not only will you start to learn this with Professor Mcgannogal. Not only will you have 1 shape, Harry, but you will have multiple shapes. Godric could change into 8 different animals, and I think you could do the same.”

The tremor worsened, and Dumbledore pitched himself onto the floor, now breathing deeply, his skin pasty white. Harry quickly knelt beside him, trying to help him.

“No Harry, no, let me be, it is my time. But one more thing. Your last power, one Godric used above all, most, was, was…….it was love Harry, and that it the power that will defeat Voldemort. No one knows what happened, but Harry, you will soon realize the other piece in your life, and she will help you, to defeat……………..him.”

The Professor started to slow his movements. His skin, when Harry touched it, as cold, cold like a dementor. Harry stared at his fallen Professor. Albus Dumbldore, a man said to be immortal, without a means of death, had succumbed to the boundries of his mortal life.
