Chapter 5

Rolling my eyes I sigh hearing everyone gushing over Harry being the youngest seeker, hearing the owls I look up seeing a white owl and black owl, the white one drops what's clearly a broom in front of Harry before landing between McGonagall and the old goat but stands closer to him.
The black owl drops a book in front of me before landing between McGonagall and Snape standing closer to her, getting it open I smile seeing a book on advance transfiguration, looking up at her she smiles lifting her cup.
Hugging my book to my chest I smile since Emma confirmed I'd formed a parent child bond with her, McGonagall has been so happy after I told her and tries to encourage me with my desire for knowledge.
Getting up I walk out heading for her class room as my sisters join me "Weasel was bragging about Potter's broom it was pathetic".
"Well he is so poor, he'd never be able to afford something that nice let alone touch one" Emma says chuckling.
"He thinks McGonagall sent him the broom" Lily says smirking at me.
Smiling I hug my book tighter "She sent me a book on advance transfiguration".
"Teacher's pet" Lily coos grabbing my cheek.
Huffing I push her hand away while walking in the classroom sitting down, I open my book to start reading while my sisters dual each other laughing.
"What are you three doing?" McGonagall asks coming in.
"I'm reading my new book while they are being lazy" I answer smiling when I hear them both respond with teacher's pet.
"Thank you for the book Professor" I say instead of responding to them.
"I been wondering something" Lily says coming over and sitting on the arm of my chair.
McGonagall nods looking at her "about?"
"Not that I don't enjoy it, but why does everyone either almost worship us or fear us when it's mentioned that we're the heirs of Slytherin"
She sighs coming over to the other chair sitting down "There is another Heir of Slytherin, a dark Wizard he was feared by many but also seen as hope for the old ways to come back".
Lily frowns "Where is he?"
"Believed to be dead but that's not true or the prophecy on Harry would not exist, he's somewhere out there regaining her strength, once he's strong enough he will return to kill Harry for now he's safer here but the Heir has ways to get around the protection"
I frown looking at my book "What happens to us when he comes back?"
"I think he will seek you three out to join him, he was always a firm believer in family so he would prefer you to stand with him"
"If we don't?" Emma asks.
"He wouldn't kill you but there would be a reward for your capture, if you are caught you would be held prisoner till the war ends"
"What if we do stand with him?" I ask.
"You'd be treated like royalty by his followers nothing would be denied to you"
"I mean what would you do if we stood with him?" I ask.
She sighs looking at us "I can't deal with the corruption anymore, before Albus became so powerful you were judged by your skill and knowledge, now it's money, he claims to want equality but he helped write many laws that stop equality, he helped write the werewolf laws, and denied rights to many creatures and Muggle borns, we don't even teach about our history from the home land anymore".
"Do you support the other Heir?" Lily asks glancing at me.
"I didn't the first time but since I've learned the truth I want to, the problem is he wouldn't accept me because I fought against him"
"But what if his prized cousins vouch for you would you help him?" I ask.
She nods reaching out cupping my face "Yes as long as you three are safe with him".
"Aunt Ingrid did say we're supposed to stand by our family" Lily says softly.
Nodding I look at my rings biting my lip "Professor why doesn't Professor Snape have a claim for the Prince name?"
"His mother was disowned when she ran away with a muggle, unless the head of house accepts him he will never have a claim to it, Albus promised to help him claim it as he was the only living Heir but he can't with you three here and I doubt he was really doing it because he's had 11 years to helped him and never did"
"We'd have to ask Aunt Ingrid to go claim him for us" Lily says.
"Not so fast girls, he is a spy for Dumbledore"
"So we flip his loyalty we just need to offer him something Dumbledore can't" Emma says shrugging.
"What do you know about him?" I ask.
"He's alone, he loved Harry's mom but Harry is more his father than her and hates him, he hates having his father's name or being called by it"
Hearing the clock chime I smile standing up and look at my sisters "I guess we know how to start with him and I have Potions now".
Turning I walk out of the classroom hearing Weasel's whiney voice taunting someone, I follow it finding him insulting a Slytherin girl.
"I thought you would have learned better than to mess with someone who could take everything your family has left forcing your family to begging on the streets" I say calmly while stepping up by the girl.
"I'm starting to see a pattern as well, you target girls because you view them as weaker than you, you don't want to admit you're pathetic with magic and any boy would gladly beat you while girls are taught to not embarrass boys, but I wonder if another girl fought back how fast you'd be beaten"
Chuckling I tilt my head looking at him "Your face is almost purple".
He snarls pulling his wand pointing it at me, humming I lift my hand twisting my wrist while making a fist and pulling down.
Seeing him drop to the ground struggle around unable to move I laugh watching him "I learned how to get out of that at age six".
Glancing around I grab the Slytherin pulling her along out of the area "Come on, no point getting caught you'll get blamed".
Once we're in the dungeon I let go and smile "I have to get to class" I say before moving to the Potions classroom.
"It doesn't start for 30 minutes"
Glancing back I nod smiling at her "I know" I say before stepping in and close the door.
"Hello Professor Prince" I say like it's completely natural while going to my seat.
He glares at me as I sit down "That is not my name".
Humming I start setting up my equipment "It should be you're a Prince, one of the last living members and a very accomplished man perfect to hold the name".
Not hearing him say anything I glance up seeing him glaring at me "I was wanting to get to know you, we are cousins and I feel like there's a lot you could teach me I know I'm not great with Potions but I'd like to understand it more to see the beauty of it".
"What do you want?" He demands.
"I told you, I want to know my cousin the most accomplished Potions master in the world and to learn how to see Potions making like you do" I say shrugging while looking up at him "Oh I had to protect one of the Slytherin girls, Weasel caught her alone and was messing with her" I add.
"What one?" He asks.
"Not sure of the name Sir, black hair around shoulder length has pretty blue eyes and her nose was cute, reminds me of a baby like a little button so it has a slight upturned look"
"Parkinson"
Shrugging I smile at him "I made sure to get her away from the area didn't want her blamed for something I did".
"What did you do?"
"Something Aunt Ingrid use to do when we'd throw fits so we couldn't accidentally go dragon on anything, it forced us to lay on the ground unable to move or scream till we calmed down, worked great till I figured it out by age six, Emma at seven, Lily didn't till she was 10 but her temper is worse then ours"
He sighs glaring at me "How do you undo it?"
"Can't, it's emotion controlled so unless he calms down he will be stuck there"
