Emberstar

Chapter 1

Iris Potter sat in her room as she heard the faint noises from people in that party. It was the 11th birthday of the Boy-Who-Lived, Charlus Potter, her blood-related brother. Beside her is a black and white cat with oceanic blue eyes, or the water dragon, named Thalassa, or Thals for short and a fire phoenix, or the fire dragon, named Ember. In her past life, abuse is not taken lightly, born with magic or not. As for Iris, she didn't have accidental magic since her familiars have guided her with the magic blessed with her. Sure, she still could control fire and water in any aspect but she needed to harness her new power, not involving the dragons.

Iris could hear everyone gushing over Charlus especially Molly Weasley, the matriarch of the Weasley family. Iris found them annoying and manipulative, especially the "great" Albus - too many middle names - Dumbledore. She felt compulsions and spells, controlling her and her magic. Unfortunately for the old man, she is a Winters, and the female members of that family can't be controlled easily, even when Diana is reborn.

The only Weasley she liked are the twins, who were sincere when they wanted to befriend her. The door of a secret tunnel from the library opened and emerged the twins.

"Hello Iris," Fred started.

"Happy Birthday!" George finished.

They both handed her their gift which she opened immediately revealing boxes of chocolates and sweets.

"It's not much but - "

" - we hope you like it!"

"Thank you. You should be getting back. Your mother might be looking for you," she stated and made the twins frown but returned to the party nonetheless. Iris heard arguments she thought came from her "father" and her godfather Sirius. Then, footsteps are heard and Sirius comes up to her safe haven.

"Come on pup," he says. "I'm taking you to Diagon Alley."

Iris' eyes lit up like a Christmas Tree and immediately changed clothes, appropriate for a lady or heiress. She faced her familiars and told them, "Watch out for the Potters. Prank them if you want but don't get caught." The phoenix and cat nodded in understanding and went beside Sirius and apparated. They went first to Leaky Cauldron, Sirius tapped the sequence on the brick and now, Diagon Alley.

"Where to, first Uncle Padfoot?" Iris asked.

"Gringotts first pup. You need an inheritance test," Sirius answered.

Iris met the Goblin Nation in her past life so she knows how to greet them without offending them. When they entered, a few goblins who passed by her bowed which she returned. Goblins often show respect to those who deserve to be respected or are warriors.

"I would like to talk to my account manager," Sirius stated firmly to the Goblin.

The Goblin nodded and called Ragnok and led the two in his office.

"Greetings Ragnok. May your enemies be dripping with blood and bowing before you," Iris greeted the director with politeness and her eyes flashed red and blue for a few seconds and back to hazel. Surprise was written on the goblin's face and recognized her eyes so he returned the greeting, "Welcome, Guardian of the Dragons. May your enemies bow to you in defeat."

"Wait, Guardian of Dragons? As in the legend?" Sirius asked, curiosity in his voice was heard.

"Well, in my past life, I was Diana Winters, the last of the Guardians. Now, I'm reborn as Iris Potter, but I still have the dragons with me. In a different form of course," the girl explained calmly.

"Then here's James and Lily thinking you're a squib. Obviously you came from a legend," he muttered under his breath.

"I would like an inheritance test please."

"Place three drops of blood from your finger on this parchment," he instructed.

Iris did what she was instructed and words formed on it and Ragnok took a sharp inhale and showed it to them.

"Soul bound? To Voldemort?" Iris asked incredulously.

"Yes Lady Winters. But Dumbledore placed a block on Tom Riddle that's why he didn't know," the goblin explained.

"Oh. How come I'm still Lady Winters?"

"The dragons are still with you, so through magic, you are Lady Winters."

"Oh."

"I would like to blood-adopt Iris," Sirius said, changing the topic.

"Really? You would want me?" Iris asked, her voice full of hope.

"Of course! I love you so much pup. That's why I'm adopting you."
