Chapter 1
Jon's POV/Harry potter's POV
It was dark. It was constricting. I was feeling submerged. I don't understand how it could be. I remember going to bed after long day at Hogwarts as the Headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is confusing and real. And while I am at it, I couldn't help but remember my life so far.
Beginning of flashback
After the battle of Hogwarts, things were looking good yet sad. From all over the world people came to ruined Hogwarts to help rebuild the castle and many people were busy in funeral arrangements of their fallen loved ones. During this time, a letter from Gringotts came inviting me to the bank. With Billy Weasley I made my way to the bank. We were taken to the office of Bank Director Ragnorak, head of the new bank administration. There I was informed of my multi-million inheritance and the fine of 3 million charged to my account for causing death and destruction within sovereign land of the goblins. Apparently after the fall of the Ministry of Magic at the hands of the Death Eaters, somehow the Dark lord succeeded in supplanting the administration of Director Ragnuk by his puppeteers. After the fall of Dark lord in the battle of Hogwarts, there was a bloody coup against the puppeteers and he became the new Director of the Bank.
The Director informed me that several many communications had been sent by the bank inviting him to claim my inheritance since I was 11, yet I wouldn't accept it and whenever I visited bank it was only to the Trust vault. They communicated about this to Albus Dumbledore and he requested that Harry Potter be kept unaware of his inheritance till he is off age. Unfortunately being appointed as my magical guardian by the Ministry of Magic, there was nothing to be done.
Anyways I received my inheritance minus the fine, which included entire fortune of House Potter worth 132 million galleon, fortune of House Black worth 125 million galleon and fortune of house Peverell worth 70 million. After returning to Burrows from the bank, I made my decision to shift to Potter family manor. The manor was easily 3 times the size of Malfoy manor and once reinforced through my blood, several times more secure and defensive than Malfoy manor.
There I started learning as much I could about my family as possible and came to realise that with my academic performance I had been disgracing the name of my ancestors. And so I plunged myself into study. I was feeling betrayed by the actions of Albus Dumbledore and pledged to myself that Potters will never suffer again in such ways. That Potters will learn the lesson from all I have suffered that 'Absolute light will blind you and absolute darkness will also blind you. It is only in the balance between dark and light that there is sight, that there is life.'
Eventually I married Ginevra Weasley and had 3 children. With the help of the goblins I enriched the house of Potter, Black and Peverell by making good investment. At the age of 30 I gained mastery of Potions after having developed the cure for withering curse, which once had affected Albus Dumbledore. At the age of 34, I gained mastery of alchemy where I cured Lycanthrope. Instead of suppressing the virus, with help of alchemy I transformed the virus into genetic ability of shapeshifting. Now all the werewolves could become wolf shapeshifter. They don't suffer the effects of the moon nor could they infect anyone. At the age of 40 I replicated the work behind Marauder's map and improved. Now the custom made marauder's map was available to any who had extensive property. This map was purchased by all the magical schools around the world. I made a new type of remembral that could be used as the record keeping device for personal use. It essentially became a device for accounting. At the age of 41 I became a Royal phoenix animagus and at the age of 43 a black scaled green eyed Dragon animagus that breathes green fire. At the age of 45 became master of mind magic and battlemagic. I basically formulated a counter spell against Killing curse – Etherialis protegnum- meaning divine shield. At the age of 47 I formulated the cure for long exposure to cruciatus curse. This help Alice and Frankin Longbottom to remember and acknowledge their son and also Augusta Longbottom. At the age of 55 I joined Hogwarts as History professor. It truely was the ignorance of this subject that caused magical Britain to suffer this much during the time of Voldemort. At the age of 57 I became master of Runicmagic. At the age of 62, I replicated the work of Rowena Ravenclaw by imitating her work on the Room of Requirement. It had gotten devoid of the magic behind the working of the Room. At the age of 70, I succeeded Nevil Longbottom as the head of House Griffindor while Nevil became Headmaster of Hogwarts. At the age of 90, I succeeded Nevil Longbottom as the Headmaster of Hogwarts. Nevil chose to go on search of new and exotic magical plants.
Teddy and Andromeda Tonks were allowed to live at Black manor. I declared Teddy as my heir of House Black. I also inherited seat in the wizengamot of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter and Black and the seat of the Most Ancient and Revered House of Peverell. My eldest son – James Sirius Potter – succeeded me as Lord of House Peverell and my second son Albus Severus Potter as the Lord of House Potter. Jamed got sorted in house Griffendor and Albus in house Ravenclaw at Hogwarts. Both are strong practitioners of Magic. My daughter – Lily Molly Potter - became Unspeakable and married Alex Longbottom, heir of House Longbottom. Wizengamot itself had been changed. Now there are two houses in wizengamot – Lord's House, the original wizengamot and the Citizen's House, a body of elected representatives from whom the Minister of Magic must have two third majority and minister himself must be member of Citizen;s Minister of Magic could be from the Lord's House but then he must a proxy for his seat in the wizengamot.
I was 103 year old when Ginny died in an accident. She was sitting in the audience when the player mistakenly hit the bludger in wrong direction and it hit Ginny in the head and she died instantly. In my fury I nearly killed the player but was restrained by Nevil who was also there. The player remained in the hospital several week and came out a unfit for playing quidditch. At 107, here I am in the dark and feeling submerged and constricted in movement.
Flashback end.
Its been sometime now in the dark and I am trying to feel out the thing constricting me. But I am still at loss as to where I am. Suddenly I am feeling severely constricted now. I know not what to do. After some gruesome struggle I could see the light. It feels like I am coming out of a cocoon and I am screaming in victory and joy. However it was not to last for long. I saw a woman holding me in her arms and covering me in a coarse bundle. I could see another woman lying on the bed covered in blood looking at me relieved and smiling. I observed everything and came to realise that I have just been born again. I could see that she had bled too much and most possibly will not survive birthing. I couldn't see a healer or a doctor. Her chances were very low. There was commotion coming from somewhere. Suddenly the door burst open and entered a man wielding a sword and wearing a leather armour suit. Horrifyingly I realised that have been born in ancient or medieval time. I was worried that he would kill my mother but he didn't. He simply sat by side of my mother and was crying. The nurse gave me into his arm and now I could hear what my mother was saying to him. She was saying, " His name is Aegon Targaryen, trueborn son of Raegar Targaryen. Please brother, keep him safe. Robert will kill him if he got to know. Promise me you will keep him safe. Promise me Ned, promise me." And he promised after which she took a sigh and smiled at me and died. I was crying at having lost my mother again. Hopefully I will have my father with me. He ordered the nurse to prepare me for the journey and gave me to him and went out. After some time we started from that place. It was too hot a place. My uncle was there with a companion. His name was Howland Reed. After few days we reached a building, which by its structure was certainly a castle. The host seemed to be hostile in his behaviour yet allowed us shelter after offering and acceptance of Salt and Bread. Some days later we left the castle on the ship. Ship appealed very good to me for it provided shelter from the hot sun. It took some time to reach a city by its appearance. But it certainly smelt a lot. There were many soldiers in the city and a lot many blood marks on the wall. We entered the castle and came in front of a behemoth holding a huge hammer who asked about Lyana. When he was informed that she had died of fever, the behemoth roared and started cursing Raegar Targaryen taking his Lyana. I came sudden realisation this was the Robert my mother wanted me to be protected. Also got to know fronm hs ranting that my father is already dead, having been killed by Robert himself in the battle. Immediately I was suspicious of my uncle's intention. Eventually he presented me to him and declared me to be his bastard son, Jon Snow. Robert laughed uproarly saying that honourable Stark sired a bastard. Soon enough there was a wedding and we left the stinking city. Thankfully, the weather was good and not too hot.
