The Empty Chamber (Harry Potter Next Generation Fanfiction)

Prologue: The Heir

It was all clear now.

A figure in black robes paced her bedroom. Finding out this much had taken years; information never revealed itself as quickly as she would have preferred. During her first year at Hogwarts, she had discovered her powers. As strange as they were, they were also easy to ignore. Yet time passed, and it became preferable not to ignore them. The possibilities... Yes, witches and wizards had magic, but not magic like this. I'm superior, she thought to herself.

But she knew she wasn't the only one. A muggle-born would come with powers different from hers, but just as great. Magic made her extraordinary, and her abilities made her more extraordinary than others with magic. If all the people with these unique powers came together - they would be unstoppable. There would no longer be limits to what witches and wizards could do.

One pureblood had powers as well, but it could take years to find the right person. Pureblood ancestry intertwined so intricately that anyone could be the heir; anyone could be the person she was looking for. But a muggle-born - it still didn't make sense how a muggle-born could be the heir of any great witch or wizard. So there must be something special about this muggle-born, she just knew it. Something would make this student stand out.

If the muggle-born's powers did not present themselves quickly, she would go looking for them. It was her last year at Hogwarts - she couldn't afford to let the heir slip through her fingers.

It was determined.

Author's Note:

Thanks for reading! The next chapter will be a proper chapter length, and the Author's Note will have a proper introduction. Also the narrator won't be so shady.
