I feel myself in a comforting embrace as I wake. I slowly open my eyes and blink a few times to clear my eyes. Things are looked a bit blurry, which means I'll probably need glasses when I'm older. I wonder if they have a way to magically correct eyes. I yawn and stretch my arms. I notice I'm dressed I'm a white night gown. It was pretty soft. I see I'm in grandpa's arms across his lap as he sits on a hospital bed. 'I see your awake star flower. How are you feeling?' I hear grandpa asks.

"Tire. Can talk in mind?" I ask him. He nods.

'We need to talk about gathering all the horcruxes and stopping Sirius from being imprisoned. The compulsions are making him go after the rat. And, the rat is going to frame Daddy and fake his death.' I tell him.

  'I'll do what I can for him, but if it was the goat that put the compulsion on him then he wants him out of the way. The chances are he'll either be imprisoned, killed, or have to go on the run. And about those horcruxes, we can hire the goblin curse breakers to gather them. We already have a fairly good idea of where they all are, so it shouldn't be too difficult for them to take care of them.' Grandpa tells me.

  'Wasn't there a horcrux here in Gringotts in Bella Lestrange's vault?' I think absent-mindedly. Grandpa tenses.

  'We'll need to tell the goblins immediately. They don't take kindly to black magics in their territory and would take it's presence as an insult. it would be advantageous for us if they decided on their own to hunt them down rather than have us pay them. They would also be displeased with us if they think we were withholding information.' Grandpa explains. He turns away from me and raises his hand.

  "Oh! Is she awake?" a goblin says coming over. Grandpa nods.

  'If at all possible, we need to speak to Griphook as soon as possible. Aster just recalled critical information that the goblins would be interested in.' he tells them.

  "Well I can send for Griphook, but the young one need to stay here until I have completed my check up and given her vaccines. Before anything else though, I want her to eat something since she hasn't since yesterday." She says.

  "Okie!" I say. She smiles, before walking off.

  I sigh and cuddle into Grandpa's chest. He starts brushing his hands through my hair. So much happened so quickly and I haven't really had time to process it all. I may have a full set of memories from my last life, but I was still emotionally a child. I just lost my parents and my god father is possibly going to be imprisoned. That's not even take into account someone attempted to murder me. 'Shh, It's ok Star Flower. It's ok to cry. Just let it all out. Your safe now and I won't let anything happen to you. You don't need to be strong anymore.' He tells me.

  I bring my hand to my face and realize it's wet. My breath hitches. I let myself cry. I cry for my Mama and Papa. I cry for Daddy. I cry for the possible childhood I lost. I cry for the damage the war has caused to everyone. I cry for the the future pain and manipulations I will face. I even cry for Tom for not ever knowing true love. I just cry overwhelmed by everything. Tears stream down my face onto Grandpa's suit and my gown. I block out everything around me, but hear static sounds that are increasing in volume. I feel pressure coming from my back. I feel extreme pain and scream.

*Rip* *Splatter*

  Then it all stops. I'm gasping for breath as I feel something wet dripping down my back. I'm still crying but I try to calm down. After a moment I'm finally breathing evenly. "Gampa? Wu appen?" I ask sniffling.

  I'm tired again and my back feels weird and heavy. I notice he has me sitting in his lap facing him rather than across him now. I look at him confused at what just happened.

  He gently wipes my tears. 'Your ok, Aster. Something unexpected just took place. It's not bad. It just happened earlier than I would have liked.' He tells me.

  "Wah? I feel funny." I say.

  'You remember how I told you that your like your mother and I? How we are slender folk?' Well, you just went through your inheritance. For half blood children of slender folk they go through a sort of awakening after they have experience true pain in all three forms. Those being physical, spiritual, and phycological. You probably had spiritual and physical from the horcrux and ritual. While you just processed the phycological from everything that happened. I can't say for certain though since the lines between them intertwine.' he explains.

  'Ok, did Mama go through an inheritance too?' I ask him telepathically.

  'No. While she is still slender folk she never met the criteria for the inheritance. Despite living in a time of war and participating she hadn't experienced spiritual or strong enough phycological.' he tells me.

  'What does the inheritance do? Do I look different or something?' I ask.

  'Lets go with or something. You already had a naturally pale complexion, but you'll have a few abilities like controlling shadows and manipulate tendrils that all slender folk have. You may remember hearing static earlier. That was your insanity inducement activating. Luckily no one else was here and I can cancel it out.' Grandpa explains.

  'That's cool. Does my back feeling wet and heavy have anything to do with the tendrils?' I ask.

  'Oh yes. Your tendrils came out and ripped through your gown. There is some blood and mucus, which is why I changed your position. We should probably get you something to clean you or simply bath you.' he tells me. I nod in agreement.

  I hear the a crash. We turn to see the nurse had returned with a tray only to drop it. They were looking at me with wide eyes. "I was only gone for half an hour!!! Why is there blood and slime all over!?!?" They exclaim. I stare sheepishly at them.

  "It's a rare to see a newly awakened slender folk. Be glad you weren't here while it occured or you likely would have lost your sanity to the slender sickness Nurse Staffslayer. It's also a sign of trust that Blass König hasn't tries to kill us being so close to their vulnerable kin." Nurse Bladebringer says walking in. She was followed by Griphook.

  "Now what is it that was so urgent Blass König? I was in the middle of your requested audit." Griphook states.

  'We thought it would be vital for you to know, Aster recalled that there may already be another horcrux in the vault of Bella Lestrange here in Gringotts.' Grandpa tells him.

  "WHAT?!?!"
