Twins: A Different Life (Book one)

Harry changed into his formal robes and combed his hair, making himself look presentable, before flooing himself to the address he was given.

"Longbottom Manor."

He stepped out as gracefully as ever, vanishing the ash from his robe, walking slowly with every measured step, much to his status today- heir of Gryffindor house.

"Welcome to Longbottom Manor. Mr Potter, son of the Potter House."

Harry internally winced at this, he no longer wanted to be associated with this name, other than being known as the person who drove said house to the mud. However, he kept himself expressionless, and bowed.

"Thank you, Madam Longbottom, Heir Longbottom. I am quite delighted to be invited to said house."

"It is our pleasure, Mr Potter. May I lead you to the sitting room, so we may discuss the matter at hand?"

"Of course, lead the way Madam."

They arrived at the sitting room, it was nothing flashy, unlike Malfoy Manor, but it presented a substantial standing the house had, among the society.

"May I offer you a drink or a snack? Madam Longbottom offered.

"No thanks, I prefer to get right down to business." Harry answered shortly, he continued saying, "Onto another matter, I have been blood adopted by Lord Sirius Black, so I am no longer Mr. Harry James Potter, son of the Noble and Ancient House Potter; but Heir Harrison Regulus Black, heir of the Noble and Ancient House Black."

Madam Longbottom looked slightly appalled, this tipped Harry off, it implied that the Longbottoms had a closer relationship with Potter than he thought. Not that he didn't guess, but the relationship between Neville and Rosina was to say otherwise, the boy was often bullied by the so-called 'girl who lived'.

Harry started, "I presume you would like to ask me how I know of you being the Sons and Daughters of House Gryffindor." When the Longbottoms simply nodded, Harry continued, "You see, I am the heir to Gryffindor House."

Harry went silent, willing his ring to change to the Gryffindor heir ring, before showing it to them. He assumed that they would like some time to digest the situation, much to his surprise, Madam Longbottom simply nodded, why Neville Longbottom gaped.

"Can you show me your other rings?" Augusta Longbottom asked.

Harry was caught off guard, but he willed his rings to split and show each and one of his houses, which were the Founders ones, Emrys and Black. Harry regained his composition and asked, "How did you know?"

"It is a secret passed on to me from my father, he told me that one day, the heir of the founders and Emrys would come to me and I was to obey his every word, as he was to be lord of my house, personally bound by Godric Gryffindor himself, however, may I ask, how did this happen? We are supposedly the last of his line, how are you Godric Gryffindor's heir."

Harry explained how he was taken back into time and how he became the heir to the Founders and Emrys. Including the part where he was given up by the Potters, courtesy to Dumbledore.

The Longbottoms listened quietly, until Harry finished his tale. When he finished, Madam Longbottom spoke, " I do not agree with what the Potters and Dumbledore have done. Young heir, I know we should obey your wishes, so I would ask you how you want to do this?"

"I do not intend to move Dumbledore yet, however, I shall move against Potter soon enough, it will start when the time comes, I will owl you then. For now, I know you have a good relationship with Potter, so I hope you would help collect some intel when possible and inform me with whatever they intend to do when you can," Harry replied calmly.
