Harry Potter and the Heir of the four Houses

A.N.: O.k. not too many seemed to like this story, it rated good though...so here's the second chapter, but if I get the impression that not that many people like it...I may just stop here.

Please do not judge yet, I'm forming Ariel's personality still, so there really isn't much to her yet, but looks and power.

Chapter two: The Heir of four houses...


The woman stepped of off the train her skin the color of coffee with about 7 creamers added to it, shinning in the bright sunlight. All of the Wizards and witches in Hogsmede continued as if she wasn't there.....but one Lucius Malfoy stopped to stare, her hair was multicolored naturally, red, gold, green, silver, blue, bronze, yellow, and black. And even her eyes glowed all the colors of her hair, her nails were sharp and of a deep crimson. She walked with the elegance of an aristocrat, without the arrogance behind it. She demanded attention, yet the others seemed to not even notice her, but Lucius Malfoy looked up from his place in a jewelry shop as her energy danced lightly over all of Hogsmede. He saw her and quickly made a purchase before leaving the store to watch as she walked down the street.

//She could be a Dark Lady if she desired to be.//

She stopped at a cafe and looked around curiously, before sitting down and ordering a frozen caramel energizing coffee from the waiter. Lucius sat down a couple of tables away watching her warily, for some reason he felt a pull towards her, stronger than even to his Dark Lord.

Harry flopped down on his bed, exhausted from a hard day of classes; Snape was being an even bigger bastard "should have never looked into that damned pensieve of his."

Ron came in a few moments later, "You o.k. mate? Snape was a right bastard today, 50 points....oh well we can make it up with Quidditch."

Harry nodded before turning over and getting out his supplies to begin work on the two foot long potion's essay due in two days. "Yeah, sometimes I just wish....for something to show him the truth, instead of what he wants to see."

"Right you can wish mate....but that don't mean it'll work."

"I know, come on best to get this monster started now."

Dumbledore sat in his office looking at the pensieve before him; if what the sorting hat said was true....then this would be a very interesting year indeed. The eyes he's seen in his visions still haunted him, for more than one reason, a child of all four houses.....imagine the power.....and to live so long they had to be immortal....but that could be bad....especially if Voldemort wanted her secret.....

Lucius sat sipping his coffee as he waited for her to decide to leave, which she seemed very disinclined to do. But he didn't really mind, it gave him time to watch her, and see her, the tight black dress she wore accentuated all of her curves, but what caught him by surprise...was the jagged scar on her right cheek. //why....how could anyone hurt her?//

She stood and stretched finally and started walking down the street again, before stopping in front of a jewelry store and looking at a necklace with the crests of all four houses on it, she smiled and Lucius felt almost faint at the light it brought to her eyes, before she sighed and started walking again.

Lucius quickly went inside, paid for the necklace and silently continued to follow her.

She sighed as she stopped outside of Hogwart's gates, looking up at the beauty of if, //hope she doesn't want in, the magic won't let her in without an invitation or as a student or teacher.//

She looked up, and quietly whispered, "Open."

The magic of Hogwarts shimmered before moving and opening the gate, and Lucius found himself staring in awe as she moved through the gates. A magic wind blew at her hair, playing with it and mixing the colors, she laughed gleefully as it moved her dress around her, "I know, it is good to be home as well."

She spun around before starting to walk again, and Lucius quietly snuck through the gate, before it closed. She looked up and suddenly Lucius saw that damned Phoenix, Fawkes come flying to her, it landed on her arm and began singing an almost heartbreakingly beautiful song.

She stroked the bird's chest lovingly, "I missed you too, Fawkes." she kissed the birds beak before letting it fly up, "Does he know I'm here yet?" The bird shook its head, "good, don't tell him yet...." her lips formed the dark smirk of someone plotting, "I may just join them all for dinner." With that she climbed up a tree close to the lake, leaving Lucius to hide in the bushes below, and the day flowed by....

Harry sighed, he was tired, hungry, grouchy, and so glad he had managed to get out of detention. "Stupid Malfoy, I swear if it is the last thing I do this year....I am going to get him in soooo much trouble."

"Really Harry, you should think less of Malfoy and more about your assignments, honestly."

Harry secretly rolled his eyes, before walking down to the Great Hall himself....it was time for Ron and Hermione’s daily snog fest, and he was simply sick of seeing it.

The Great Hall was already filling up, which meant, Ron was actually going to be late. He sat down quietly and started to eat, when suddenly everything got quiet. He looked up with everyone else and saw the woman standing in the door way, a sly smirk on her face as she caught the look of outright shock on Dumbledore's face.

"Close your mouth, Dumblydore...you might catch a fly."

Dumbledore's mouth closed with an audible snap as she walked through the tables towards the staff table, only Harry noticed Lucius slide deeper into the shadows.......
