AN: I don't own anything except Stanislav.
I'm finally back. I'm so glad that I have passed my examinations. Well, I was learning 18 - 20 hours a day during past two week, so I was exhausted to the death. Past two days I was sleeping.
Today I wrote the new chapter. So... ENJOY!
Chapter 3: Meeting the Ancestor
Small boy slowly woke up. He was startled when he didn't recognize the room. Then the memories from previous day returned to him. Little boy, now full awake, was awed by the room he first time saw by the daylight.
The room was made entirely in shades of dark green combined with royal blue. The boy sat on the large bed under warm green blanket and wondered what he should do. The strange cracking noise interrupted child's thoughts. The creature, which was similar to the Niri, stood near the door with the plate full of food.
''Patley bring the food for young master.'' Said the house-elf. ''Young master's presence is requested by the Master Zinevski – guardian of island.''
Dark-haired boy nodded and the house-elf disappeared. The child inhaled the food and quickly started to eat. After few minutes the plate was empty. Another house-elf popped into the room with the clothes – underwear, socks, black trousers and green shirt. Boy put on the clothes. He was grateful because for the first time the clothes fitted him. They weren't too large or too small for him.
Niri came to the room to take him for the meeting. Little boy followed the house-elf into the small study, which was situated on the same floor as his bedroom. When he entered the study, Niri disappeared. Dark-haired child looked around the room. He noticed that the room was decorated in the similar colours as his bedroom – dark green, royal blue and deep shade of red – almost black. The study was full of expensive furniture and various art-creations. The boy admired the study, so he didn't notice the dark stranger in one of the corners.
'So this is new Lord Slytherin.' Thought the dark stranger. 'He is too small for his age. But you can see his Slytherin heritage in him. Black hair, green eyes, pale skin. Boy looked like Salazar when he was a child. The same cold and guarded eyes. The same powerful aura.'
The boy suddenly noticed that he was watched. He quickly scanned the study and finally caught a glimpse of somebody in one of the dark corners in room. The man left the shadows where he was hidden. The stranger was about 25-years-old. Child noticed stranger's well-defined features, brown hair and violet eyes. But boy's gaze was fixed on the man's mouth – especially on his two sharp fangs.
His trance was stopped by the man: ''My name is Stanislav Zinevski. I have guarded this island for the heirs of my friend Salazar Slytherin. Because you have found this place, it means you are the heir, next Lord Slytherin.''
''Once I was called Harry Potter.'' Started to speak the child in serious voice. ''But since he is dead I have to choose new name.''
Stanislav nodded in understanding. He knew boy's past. ''First we have to confirm your heir status and then find out your power-level.'' With these words Stanislav took out the stone from his black robes. ''This is the Stone of Slytherin. It's in your family for generations. It will shine if you are the heir. The brighter the light, the more powerful you are.''
Stanislav saw the child who took the stone from him. In that moment it started to shine. Few seconds later the light was almost blinding. But in the next minutes the light was getting brighter. Suddenly it reached it's peak and disappeared.
Harry and Stanislav opened their eyes. They saw the stone floating in the air. Slowly the colourless outline of a figure appeared below the stone. Stanislav didn't believe his eyes. It looked like Salazar. The figure turned to the child. ''The curse isn't entirely broken, my young heir. I need you to freely give few drops of your blood on the stone.''
The Stone of Slytherin slowly descended in front of Harry. Stanislav came up to the dark-haired boy and offered him the silver dagger. Harry cut his palm and sprinkled the stone with his blood. It started to glow again but not as strong as before. The stone disappeared and the figure changed into the man in his mid-twenties.
The man approached a little boy and knelt. ''Thank you, my young heir. You freed my body and my soul from the stone.''
Child looked at the man: ''I know you. You are Sal. The man from my dream who taught me a lot. But it's not possible.''
Salazar hugged the child: ''Everything is possible, young heir. It's called magic.''
Stanislav observed the pair before him. He was quite touched by the reborn of his friend and the sight before him. Stanislav was aware of similarities between the small boy and his long-term friend. Both of them were dark-haired, green-eyed and they both survived through the tragedies in their lives. Stanislav noticed the growing closeness between them and he smiled a little. 'They need each other. The boy needs father who will guide him and Salazar needs a son who helped him to forget what happened to his descendants.'
His thoughts were interrupter by Salazar: ''you said you want new name.'' The child nodded. Salazar looked at his descendant pensively and then said: ''Ryan Slytherin.''
''Christopher.'' Interrupted Stanislav the conversation between a child and a man for the first time. ''His name will be Ryan Christopher Slytherin.''
''I like it.'' Said the boy happily when he let his guard down.
Salazar stood again and came to the Stanislav: ''My friend.''
''It's been too long.'' They hugged each other.
''Yes, too long.''
Flashback
The chamber was decorated in yellow, blue, red and green. Two women one in blue robes and one in light yellow and another man in dark violet almost black robes were watching two men in the discussion – it was more like an argument. Suddenly the men in deep red robes screamed at another. ''For the last time Slytherin. WE WON'T TEACH THE DARK AND SHADOW ARTS!''
The man in green robes smirked: ''You won't be able to stop me, Godric. Really, just because it's too powerful magic for your precious muggle-borns to learn.''
The man in violet eyes looked like he was ready to help his fiend Salazar, when he was hit by the stunning curse courtesy of Lady Ravenclaw. ''You'll be not able to interfere. It has to end here and now.''
''Slytherin for the last time you won't teach that... that trash.''
Something dangerous flashed in the Salazar's eyes. ''Godric, you know that you don't have enough power to beat me.''
But it was too late. He could hear the soft chanting from the man before him. Another two voices joined him. Salazar couldn't recognize the curse. Suddenly he wasn't able to feel anything. The last thing he heard was, ''sorry Salazar but we can't allow you to corrupt another of our students to become dark witches and wizards.'' Said Lady Hufflepuff.

Flashback
Small 3-years-old child was chained on wall. His back was covered by deep wounds from the whip. He was almost unconscious from the pain when he felt the cold water, which woke him up. The child titled his head and saw two of the men approached him with malicious grins.
''Take that, you demon.''
Next few minutes were the worst of his life. He was beat with whip, and then they used the hot iron on the unmarred skin. The pain was enormous. But it was increased by another spatter of water. This time the salt was mixed in the water. When the salt water touched the child's wounds, the pain was so great that the child screamed and then immediately passed out.
