Harry Potter's Ghoul Inheritance

The Truth Comes Out

Harry's POV.

"Why would you read about these types of creatures?" Sirius asks.

"Well, shit," I mutter.

They both go over and sit on my bed, waiting for an answer.

"I do not mind you studying, learning, and creating dark spells. However, I do need to know why you are reading about ghouls, which are said to be extinct," Sirius tells me.

"It all started last week," I start to tell them. "I was sitting in my cupboard, the one I lived in for most of my life when I heard the locks on it start to unlock. I knew what this meant for me. I sighed and put my journal back, as I was bringing it out to create more spells. The door opens and a big hand pulls me out. We go up to the spare bedroom, which is used for things other than sleeping. Vernon ties me to a wooden post that he has nailed into the ground, with no shirt on. I already knew what would happen next, it wasn't the first time this had occurred, but it would be the last. Vernon told me not to make a sound, if I did, he would make it worse. He grabbed one of the whips that he had in the room, and starts to lash me with it," I tell them, shuddering a little.

They sit silently as I collect my thoughts and calm myself before I continue.

"He lashed me fifty times before he decided he was finished. The entire time, I hadn't made a sound. He untied me and I fell to the ground, overwhelmed by exhaustion and pain. He told me I did a good job, but that he was gonna hurt me more anyway. He went to a dresser that had been full of knives, he grabbed a crooked one, then carved one of those exorcism circles in the wood floor, then drops me on it. Just then a knock came on the door. He opens it and welcomes into the room, a priest. He was carrying a container of what I thought was water. The priest starts to mumble words under his breath while shaking the water out on me. It burned and sizzled against my skin. It looked like my skin was turning into liquid and melting off. I came to realize it was acid in the container, not water. After the priest left, Vernon decided to beat me a little more. He broke several of my ribs, ruptured my spleen, and cracked my skull. Then he left," I explain to them.

"I passed out not long after he left, finally giving in to the darkness that was creeping up on me. When I woke up the next morning, I was able to see without my glasses, I wasn't in pain, at all, I was a little taller, like the normal height of an almost 14-year-old boy, and I was hungry. I went downstairs and imperioused Petunia into killing Dudley, then, I killed her, making a meal out of both of them. Vernon, I tortured to death, using my magic to steal his mind from him, like a dementor, and then I killed him with my magic. I then went to Gringotts, where I found out I had gone through a creature inheritance. I had to access my kagune, to get the blood necessary. I have two Kagunes, which is rare, it only happens when one inherits both parents' kagunes, which is what led to the discovery that both of my parents had this gene in them, but it never activated. It was discovered that I had the inheritance of a ghoul," I tell them.

They stare at me for a while, from the bed, before coming next to me, and sitting on the floor in front of me. Sirius looks me in the eyes and tells me "I wish you had told me sooner, Harry. I don't hate you for being a ghoul, not am I going to kick you out of the house for being one either. I just wish you had told me sooner," he tells me.

Remus speaks up next, "I understand why you didn't tell us so quickly, but I am glad we know, so now we don't have to worry about why you haven't eaten in three days. I asked Kreature," He tells me, the last part in a joking manner, making us all chuckle a little.

"Anything else we should know about you?" Remus asks, looking scared of the response.

"I have two animagus forms, both of magical creatures," I tell them.

"What type of creatures?" Sirius asks, looking excited.

"Well, the first one is a Basilisk, due to being bit by one, the second is a Pheonix, due to being healed by one," I tell them.

"You were bitten by a basilisk, and lived? How did you get past the eyes?" Remus asks, knowing more about creatures than Sirius.

"Dumbledore's Pheonix, Fawkes, came in and burned the eyes shut, so he couldn't see me. I stabbed it through the rough of its mouth, with the Sword of Gryffindor, when one of its fangs stabbed me in the arm, releasing venom along the way. Then Fawkes came back and cried on the wound, healing me, then taking Ron, Ginny, Lockhart, and I out of the Chamber of Secrets," I tell them.

"You met Lockhart?" Sirius asks.

"Yes, he's a fraud. Other people went on these adventures, then told him what happened, then he whipped their memories of everything, claiming he went on these adventures," I tell him.

"You have been in the chamber of secrets?" Remus asks.

"Yes, due to being a Parslemouth, I can enter the chamber," I tell them.

"You have got to show us it some time," Sirius begs.

"Sure, come during an event of the Triwizard Tournament and I will show you after," I tell them.

They nod in agreement. With that, they go eat, while I go back to planning on how to deal with Voldemort, Barty, Dumbledore, and the traitorous thieves.

The last few weeks of the summer are spent thinking of how to find ways to eat at Hogwarts, along with how to deal with everything that will happen this year. I had to go out to get food tonight, I was close to breaking control and hurting someone, it had been roughly a month and a half. Luckily it was a full moon tonight, so Sirius and Remus were barricaded in some extra room they have for full moon nights. I apparated to a muggle England. I landed in an alley behind a bar, which was perfectly ideal for me. I waited for trouble to come to me.

Not even an hour later, I heard a guy walk into the alley, he leaned against the wall and appeared to be waiting. I hear a woman having a conversation on her phone, walk past the alley. The man grabs her just as she hangs up the phone call. 

He brings her closer to the end of the alley, where I am. The woman is trying to get out of his grasp but isn't able to. He pushes her up against the wall and forcefully kisses her. This is when I step in, deciding I have seen enough.

"You know, that isn't how you treat a lady," I speak out, gaining the man's attention.

He stops what he is doing and turns to look at me, "Yeah, so what?" he taunts, "Not like anyone will stop me," he replies in a challenging manner.

I laugh at his challenge, "Boy, don't go challenging someone who you can't beat," I tell him.

He lets the woman go, and pulls a gun out on me. The woman freezes, seeing the gun. I walk up to him and grab his wrist. I tell the woman to run home, and she leaves the alley as quick as a bunny. I turn to the man, I send a silent stunner to him, then apparate him back to my room.

I put up a silencing charm, then un-stun the man. He looks at me in fear. I use some of my special spells, like the one that boils blood, and another that keeps my prey calm and still.

I eat my meal, afterward, I am contemplating what to do with the body. Burn it, like I did the Dursleys, or if I want to transfigure him into something. I decide to transfigure him into a rock.

Just as I am about to cast the spell, Sirius runs into my room, he sees the body and freezes. He stares at it for a bit, before looking at me. I cast the spell and the body changes into a rock. 

Sirius shakes his head, before turning to me, "Be ready to head to the train in four hours," he tells me, then leaving the room.

I put the rock in a drawer in my desk, labeling it as rapist 1, then I decided to sleep for three hours.

I wake up exactly three hours later, I go shower and do my hair. I put on a black t-shirt, with whitewash ripped jeans. I put my wand holster in my left forearm, before slipping on my leather jacket. I grab my trunk, checking it for everything I will need this year, including the locket and my knives. I shrink my trunk and put it in my pocket before heading downstairs to tell Remus and Sirius that I am ready to go.

Sirius changes into his Grim form, and Remus apparates us all there.

I hug them both goodbye, telling them I will owl them when I get a chance. Then I board the train.
