Once Lucius had been revived and commanded a house elf to bring brandy he was back sitting in his chair looking every bit the dignified Pureblood and that he had not recently done anything as plebian as faint.
"Are you ok Uncle?" Harry enquired curiously. He knew that this was big information to process, hell he hadn't even had time to process the dramtic turn his life had taken in the past 48 hours. He felt that if he stopped to really think aabout it he might just go insane.
"Of course Harry," he responded almost normally, although there was a slight hint of alaem in his voice. "Why wouldn't I be? I mean it's an everday occurance to find out your nephew is a descendant of a royal house."
Harry tried not to flinch at the slightly biting tone from his uncle. 'Here comes the rejection,' Harry thought sadly. At this point Griphook spoke up, "perhaps we should continue we still have a lot to go through."
Grateful for the interruption Harry nodded at the goblin and waved his hand to allow him to continue.
"Obviously as the heir to two of the Hogwarts founders you are now able to claim your birthright to control half of the school. You will also be able to regain control of the wards, the ghosts and the portraits. Even if there is a possibility of heirs of both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff coming forward you will still maintain the dominant position as they will only control one quarter of the school apiece. You will find that you may be able to access previously hidden or unknown parts of the castle. Lord Slytherin was particularly secretive with certain aspects of what he did within the castle. You will also be able to access the founders chambers where you may live if you so wish."
Harry piped up with the question that had been burning in his brain for the past two days, "how is this posisble though? I can accept that Gryffindor and Slytherin were lovers but isn't Tom Riddle an heir to slytherin? That's how he opened the Chamber of Secrets."
Griphook pondered Harry carefully for a moment before he spoke. "Technically he is a descendant of the Slytherin line, yes. However, he is in fact a descendant of a cousin of Lord Slytherin and not Slytherin himself. He obviously found out he could access some of the Slytherin vaults when he reached seventeen. However, he would never have been able to access them all as Lord Slytherin was head of the family and therefore, only those of his direct line could access the full set of vaults. He will have obviously found information about the Chamber in the vault he could access and would have been able to access it purely on his inherited ability to speak with snakes."
Harry nodded at this then his next questions came bubbling out, "so my ability to speak parseltongue may not be because I absorbed some of his power when he tried to kill me? And does that mean my uncle is also a descendant? My mother was a muggleborn after all. So surely the right should go to him as the oldest?"
"I believe that perhaps your ability to commune with snakes may be caused by both Harry. In that you may have had the ability lying dormant in you and the rebounded curse may have also awakened that ability bringing it to the for. It may have been dormant forever or come into fruition when you reached your majority but sadly that can never be truly known. As for Mr Malfoy being a Slytherin descendant I ama fraid you are msitaken. Your royal blood comes purely from your mother. One of the Lords' grandchildren had married a seer and she had forsaw the future destruction of the noble line. As head of the family at the time he took the decision to create a spell that would conceal their magic until the world needed it again. So in it's most basic description the Slytherin and Gryffindor line became squibs. However, unlike squibs their magic was simply bound. Over time this information died with those who knew who they truly were and as such until your mother was born with magic there had been no magic in the direct Slytherin and Gryffindor line for 900 years."
Harry was floored. His aunt was a squib? That was funny he thought. Then as he processed this he realised that that meant that Dudley may one day have a magical child and at this he laughed out loud drawing confused looks from the other occupants of the room. "Sorry," he said, "I was just imaging how the Dursleys would react to know that information. I mean could you imagine if Dudley has a magical child?"
At this Lucius also chuckled having met the family he was fairly certain that it might just kill the older family members off.
Griphook interjected again, "Harry, there is a blood test you can do that will tell you all of your inherited abilities. All older wizarding lines have abilities unique to them. I can perform this now if you wish. After that I simply need to pass over the deeds to all of your properties as well as the land rights to Hogwarts."
"I would like that Griphook. I may need several days to go over all of the files you have brought in order to understand the current state of all of my financial affairs as well as my properties."
With that Griphook opened his small briefcase and produced a rather old looking piece of parchment and what Harry instantly recognised as a blood quill. Taking a deep breath he picked it up and asked Griphook what he needed to do.
"Simply sign your name with the quill. The parchment contains a potion that will process your blood and provide an overview of your bloodlines as well as inherited abilities that have come to the for since you reached your majority."
Sensing Harry's tension Draco leaned forward and placed a hand on his arm making him drop the quill in surprise, "worry not Harry. This won't be like Umbridge we will heal you up instantly and make sure there are no scars."
Harry released the breathe he didn't he had been holding. He took a second to steady himself while wondering when Draco had become so intuitive. Realising he needed every ounce of Gryffindor bravery he had he picked up the quill and quickly signed his name across the parchment trying to not notice the pain he felt as the quill cut into his skin.
Once he had dropped the quill Narcissa instantly put her wand to his arm and muttered a healing spell. She then called a house elf to give him a pain potion and a calming draft. He accepted both gratefully. He then looked at the parchment in front of him.
