Harry lay silent, the wind occasionally bristling through his wild hair from the window. Harry was awaiting the return f his beloved owl Hedwig for her night hunt. Every night he would open the window at 8pm and Hedwig would be back by midnight at the latest. But this night was to be a bit different.

As his thoughts drifted off to another land, he heard the familiar sound of wing flapping. He sat up, getting ready to greet his owl and close the window. However on this particular night, the snowy owl didn't just bring back a dead rat or frog, but she had a letter attached to the bottom of her leg. Harry looked at the parchment curiously, wondering who on earth would be able to get Hedwig and attach a letter to her leg. His thoughts were answered as he opened the letter and began reading.

Dear Mr Harry Potter,

It has come to our attention recently that you are uninformed of your inheritance. On your 11th birthday, the Will of James and Lily Potter was supposed to have been read to you among other things so when you turned 16 you would be able to claim your inheritance. Until recently, we believed that the Will had in fact been read to its receivers which is why it has never come to your attention. One of the receivers alerted us that they knew that Mr and Mrs Potter had written up a Will, and came to Gringotts questioning why the Will hadn't been read. We apologise for any inconveniences but it is essential that you make your way here as soon as possible since it is the eve of your 16th. Enclosed in this letter you will find a knut, which will transport you to the halls of Gringotts at precisely 11pm.

Yours Truly,
Sharpfang
Head of Gringotts

Harry stared at the parchment for a while, trying to wrap his head around the information he had just been given. He knew that his parents left him the Vault, and most likely the house in Godric's Hollow, but that was it wasn't it? He sighed and looked at the watch he had bought the other day. 10.59pm. He literally had a minute to prepare himself for what was about to come. Holding onto the knut with his life, there was a flash of blue and a human less room.


Harry stumbled into the clean halls of Gringotts, making all goblins look at him. He gazed around, trying to figure out where he was meant to go.

All of sudden, he hears a little squeal behind him. He whipped around to find Susan Bones standing there, holding a knut as well. "Hey Harry, what are you doing here?" She asked. He held up the knut so she could see. Susan tilted her head in confusion. Just as she opened her mouth they heard an 'Oof' up front. They shifted their attention to see Neville picking himself up off the floor. Harry walked over smiling.

"Hey Neville!" He said, grabbing Neville's hand, helping him up.

"Heya Harry! Whatcha doing here?" Neville asked, brushing himself off.

"We are as confused as you" Harry motioned to Susan who was now accompanied by Luna. He smiled. "Hey Luna."

"Hello Harry." She said in her usual dreamy voice. "The nargles seem to have infested all of your heads. It's obvious isn't it?" Everyone looked at her confused.

"What do you mean Luna?" Harry asked.

"Each of us have had either one or both of our parents incapacitated or dead. We are all here to hear our parents Will's, But they must be related, because otherwise we would have been called in separately."

"But my parents's Will has already been read?" Susan told Luna confused.

"People can have more than one Will if it is necessary. We all know that our parents were good friends with each other, so it probably means that our parents made sure that there was a Will involving all of them and us as well." Luna finished.

"Correct Miss Lovegood." The new voice made everyone except Luna jump. They looked down to see a goblin waiting for them. "If you would please follow me." All four teens followed in the goblins footsteps and eventually were led to a grand room which was guarded either side o the entrance door by two goblin guards.

When they entered the room, they were greeted by a luxurious design with weapons decorating the walls. Harry, Susan, and Neville were all too occupied to notice the goblin at the desk.

"Hello Head Goblin Sharpfang, may your rivers flow with the blood of your enemies." Luna aid, bringing the teens to their senses to see Luna slightly bowing to the goblin occupying the desk. The others looked at her confused, before Luna motioned for them to do the same. Each teen repeated what Luna had said to the goblin, and then bowing, leaving Sharpfang utterly bewildered.

"Greetings Miss Lovegood, Mr Potter, Miss Bones, and Mr Longbottom, may your vaults flow with gold forevermore." Sharpfang addressed each of them, bowing his head at each name. "I apologise for my bewilderment before, it has been a long time since we as goblins have been treated with such respect as you have treated us with. Down to business then." The teens nodded at him, eager to find out why they had actually been brought here.

"Miss Lovegood and Bones, Mr Longbottom, I assume you have been told of the titles you may claim when you come of age, correct?" They nodded. "Which means each of your parents separate Wills have been read to you." Again they nodded. "Mr Potter, I understand that you have never heard the Will of your parents?" Harry shook his head. Sharpfang unraveled a scroll that was lying next to him. Harry's eyes widened, realising what he had in his hands. "Do you mind it being read in front of these people?" Again Harry shook his head and the goblin began to read.

Last Will and Testament of Lord and Lady Potter,

I, Lord James Charles Potter, declare that I write this Will freely, and of my own sound mind.
I, Lady Lily Claire Potter, declare that I write this Will freely, and of my own sound mind.

ALL PREVIOUS WILLS ARE CONSIDERED VOID

All of the Potter assets are bequeathed to our only son Harry James Potter, including the family vault, Potter Manor, the house in Godric's Hollow, and the title of Lord Potter. 5,000,000 Galleons are to be transferred to the account of Remus John Lupin, and he must take them. Under no circumstances is Harry James Potter to be left in custody of Lady Potter's sister and her husband, Petunia Marie Dursley and Vernon, or anyone else from Lady Potter's side of the family. Harry James Potter is to go to one of these people listed below. If the first listed is unable to care for Harry, then he is to go to the next available home.

-Sirius Orion Black
-Remus John Lupin
-Longbottom Family
-Peter Pettigrew
-Bones Family
-Minerva McGonagall
-Lovegood Family
-Severus Snape

If none of these people are able to care for Harry, then he is to be raised either by the Potter House Elves, or Silvertooth the Goblin. Whoever is given custody of Harry, will receive 700 galleons monthly solely to help the person raising Harry.

END OF WILL

Harry stared at the Sharpfang, many questions making their way to the forefront of his mind. Why had he never been told about this Will? Why was he never told about the Manor that he inherited or the title? What did it mean by Lord and Lady Potter? And who on Earth was Silvertooth?

"I assume that you have a lot of question Mr Potter, but as you are still a minor, they will have to wait. There is another Will, made by Lord's and Lady's Longbottom, Bones, Potter, and Lady Ravenclaw." The goblin told Harry.

"Who- who's Lady Ravenclaw?" Neville asked, looking confused.

"Take a look around Neville, isn't it obvious?" Luna replied. Harry, Neville and Susan looked around, but when they looked back at Luna still confused, she had a smile etched upon her dreamy face. "Isn't it funny, you all see, but don't observe. Each of your parents have been called out, all except mine, and Lady Ravenclaw was the other name called out. Why would I be here if at least one of my parents were in the joint Will?" Luna glanced at all the teens faces, and her smile grew when she saw realisation dawn upon their faces. "Lady Ravenclaw was my mother." She flashed her ring to her friends. It was an elegant ring, with the band of it joining at the front with two hands holding the blue gem with a diadem on the top. "When my mothers Will was read out, she left me this. At first I thought it was an ordinary ring, because you see, she used to wear it all the time. But then on my 11th birthday, when I went into her vault for the first time, there was a note on an alter. I read it, and it was from my mother. It said that I was the last living Heiress of Ravenclaw, and that my ring was a family heirloom, once belonging to Lady Rowena Ravenclaw herself. The note also said that there will be a time that I need it, and that time will come when Four try to restore balance to the word, and that I need to keep it with me at all time." Everyone was silent for a minute, pondering on what they had just been told. Their friend Luna, was the last heiress to Ravenclaw.

"And that is why we need to read the joint Will." Sharpfang spoke up, making Harry, Neville and Susan all jump. The goblin raised an eyebrow at the teens to which the all nodded. He turned around, and put his hand to the wall behind him. Slowly, the wall opened, revealing a single scroll. Sharpfang took it in his hands very carefully, as if the world depended on it. He gave the teens one last look before he unrolled the scroll and read it aloud.

Last Will and Testament of the Guardians

I, Lord James Charles Potter, declare that I write this Will freely, and of my own sound mind.
I, Lady Lily Claire Potter, declare that I write this Will freely, and of my own sound mind.
I, Lord Frank Edward Longbottom,, declare that I write this Will freely and of my own sound mind.
I, Lady Alice Joanne Longbottom, declare that I write this Will freely, and of my own sound mind.
I, Lord Anthony David Bones, declare that I write this Will freely, and of my own sound mind.
I, Lady Elizabeth Malia Bones, declare that I write this Will freely, and of my own sound mind.

I, Lady Pandora Ravenclaw, declare that I write this Will freely, and of my own sound mind.

To our children, Harry James Potter, Son of Lord and Lady Potter, Neville Frank Longbottom, Son of Lord and Lady Longbottom, Susan Rose Bones, Daughter of Lord and Lady Bones, and Luna Helena Lovegood, Daughter of Lady Ravenclaw and Lord Lovegood, we leave our titles. Each of you are an heir or and heiress to one of the founders of Hogwarts. Luna Helena Lovegood, you are the Heiress of Ravenclaw. Neville Frank Longbottom, you are the Heir of Gryffindor. Susan Rose Bones, you are the Heiress of Hufflepuff. Harry James Potter you are the Heir of Slytherin. Each of you now own an estate. Hufflepuff owns a cottage on the outskirts of Scotland, as well as the Hufflepuff Vault and if judged worthy, can claim the title of Lady Hufflepuff. Ravenclaw owns a Manor to which its location is secret, as well as the Ravenclaw Vault and if judged worthy, can claim the title of Lady Ravenclaw. Gryffindor owns a Palace to which its location is secret, as well as the Gryffindor Vault and if judged worthy, can claim the title of Lord Gryffindor. Slytherin owns a Castle to which its location is secret, as well as the Slytherin Vault and if judged worthy, can claim the title of Lord Slytherin. Each of these titles are highly respected families, and as there are only four people left that can claim the titles, it is essential that the heirs and heiress' are emancipated immediately under the Law of Houses.

END OF WILL

"How can I be the Heir of Slytherin? Isn't Lord Voldemort the last heir?" Harry asked, confused.

"It seems that either Lord Voldemort has waited too long to claim the title, meaning that the next closest relative to Slytherin is now the heir, or he has not been judged worthy by Slytherin."

"What do you mean judged?" Neville said.

"That is all I am able to tell you. But since you all are either the heir or heiress to one of the founders, then each one of you will undergo a test. No one other than the wizards and witches that have taken the test know what happens. Even then they are sworn to secrecy. Do you all wish to take the test? Keep in mind that this is a one time offer, and it is your only chance to claim what your place. If you choose not to, nothing will happen, except that you will no longer be the heir or heiress, and in your cases, the line will die out. If you fail the test the same thing will happen. So it's your choice. Do you choose to take the chance?" The goblin asked.

Each one of the teens agreed to take it.

"Silvertooth! Lead the Heirs to the test rooms for Gryffindor and Slytherin. Ladies if you will follow me." He told everyone. One of the guards sauntered over to the young men and nodded at Harry, with a hint of a smile, then nodded to Neville. He beckoned for the two teens to follow him as he led them out through the doors, through others, eventually making Harry and Neville have clue where they were. Silvertooth stopped abruptly and turned to Neville.

"Mr Longbottom, I will need your blood." Neville nodded, seemingly understanding. The goblin handed Neville a silver dagger, with which he cut the palm of his hand and placed his hand on the wall in front of them. The wall began to open, revealing a chamber. Neville gave Harry a look, and walked in, the wall closing behind him. "Mr Potter-"

"Just call me Harry, you seem to have been trusted by my parents and you're no less than I am." The goblin half-smiled at Harry."

"You are so much like you mother Harry. She never saw us as inferior and was a friend of the goblins. Now as I was saying before, your one is just down the corridor." Harry smiled and followed the goblin once again, and when they finally got to the end of the corridor, Silvertooth motioned for Harry to do the same thing as Neville. Harry took a deep breath, before running the blade over the palm of his hand. It stung, but Harry hardly noticed it, he was too nervous.

Once he placed his hand upon the wall, it opened just like Neville's, but a little different. Instead of it slowly opening, a metal snake slithered up from the ground, creating an opening in its trails.

Eventually it completely opened. Harry gulped but held his head high and walked in. With a last look at Silvertooth, who seemed to be mouthing 'good luck', the doors closed, sealing him within the walls engulfed in darkness.

"Lumos" Harry muttered once his wand was in his hand. He glanced around at the dimly lighten room, noticing that the room had changed. There was now an alter with a box in the middle of the room, and when he approached it, a light from above shone down onto the alter. He cautiously drew closer, keeping his wand at the ready. Once he got to the alter, he slowly opened the small box, expecting something to jump out at him. Instead, on the velvet inside of the box, lay a single ring. It was about the size of the one Luna had shown him, but had two spiral type shaped flowing off the silver circle surrounding the Emerald. He could see that the inside o the band had the word 'Slytherin' engraved into the silver. He reached down to pick it up, but just as he was going to, he heard a voice from behind him.

"Who are you?" The disembodied voice asked.

"My name is Harry James Potter, Son of Lord and Lady Potter." Harry replied, trying to make his voice sound confident. "Last living Heir to the Slytherin line."

"Is that so?"

"Yes." His voice was starting to shake, but he tried to keep it steady. Another light flicked on, now illuminating most of the room, just not the sides of the walls. "And who are you?" A man made of stone stepped out from the shadows.

"My name is Salazar Slytherin."

Hey guys! So this is the first chapter of many I hope, so leave a review and tell me if you like it! I will be aiming to upload a new chapter each week on Sunday. When I get back into school, I will be aiming for a chapter every two weeks at the latest, since I will be focusing on my school work this year. Below is a picture of what the rings will look like for each house, so you can have a look at that if you want. Oh and there's no point of flaming me in the reviews, enough insults have been said to people in the Supernatural Fandom for a lifetime, so yeah I won't even read it. But if you wish to criticise my writing, please do it so that it actually shows me how to write better instead of just straight out saying its crap. So feel free to leave a review and/or message me, it really does go a long way! Thank you all xx

Rings of each House: (its not letting me attach a website :L)
