The previous night his name had come out of the Goblet of Fire, despite the fact that he never put it in. No one believed him, not even his best friends Ron and Hermione, believed him when he insisted that he had not put his name in the Goblet of Fire. Ron had a screaming match with him when Harry tried to talk to him and Hermione let it be plainly known that she didn't believe him either and was upset with him for breaking the rules so blatantly. So Harry decided to leave.
After Dumbledore released Harry from the chamber, Harry cornered Crouch who told him that the only way to void the magical contract would substitute his magic as payment. Not a bad price when he thought about it afterwards.
He was raised as a muggle and got on fine. It was only after coming back to the wizarding world did his life always seemed to be at risk.
After the rest of the boys from his dorm had left, Harry packed his things sent Hedwig on her way. He shrunk his trunk and wrapped his invisibility cloak around himself before wandering out of Gryffindor Tower and towards one of the hogsmeade exits.
Stepping out of Honeydukes Harry then made his way to the three broomsticks. Walking to the fireplace he dropped a handful of floo-powder and whispered Diagon Alley.
Walking into gringotts Harry decided to see what he would see what he owned. Malfoy was always going on about rich pureblood families, so it was about time he saw what the Potters were worth.
"Excuse me?" Asked harry to one of the tellers who ignored him. "I would like to take an inheritance test please."
The teller looked up slowly, cautious of why the young wizard was being so kind yet his face seemed truthful enough.
"Name?"
"Harry Potter." Said Harry watching as the goblins eyes widened.
Jumping off his stool the goblin rushed around and began leading Harry towards one of the doors.
"Lord Ragnarok has been waiting a while Mr Potter." He said mysteriously.
Opening the door, Harry was led into a room with an old goblin sitting behind a desk, watching Harry over half-moon spectacles.
"Mr Potter to see you for an inheritance test sir," Said the goblin before gesturing to a seat.
"Thank you," said Harry before sitting, missing the shocked look on the leaving goblin.
"Now Mr Potter, you are a little late. I expected you here on your eleventh birthday." Said Lord Ragnarok.
"I've been wondering what else people have forgotten to tell me Lord Ragnarok, and please call me Harry."
"Mr… Sorry Harry, have you ever received any bank statements at all?"
"No Sir, nothing of the sort."
Muttering something under his breath angrily, Ragnarock pulled out a sheet of parchment and a knife.
"This is a magical parchment that when a drop of blood is placed on it, it will show us what you are set to inherit."
Taking the knife Harry cut into his finger before letting a drop of blood spill onto the parchment.
Soon blood red words began to form, picking it up Raganocks eyes widened in disbelief.
Reading aloud, he said:

"Woah," Breathed Harry.
"You are currently the wealthiest person on the continent, although seeing as you haven't been in charge of your finances you might wish to know that payments for care of 500,000 galleons a month have been paid to a Mrs Molly Weasley. Also a yearly fund of 100,000 to the Order of the Phoenix. What do you wish to be done about these?"
Harry was shocked. The weasley's were always like a family to him. He'd offered them money before, but taking this much with out his knowledge for care.
"I want everything taken since my parents death returned to their rightful vaults," said Harry angrily.
"It is done," said Ragnarock writing it down, "Now, do you wish to take up Lordship, which you could have done at the age of 11?"
"What's lordship sir?" Asked Harry confused.
Ragnarock was furious. Their number one client had missed so much information.
"Taking up lordship means you can hold your seats in the wizengamot and vote and petition for laws and such. Albus Dumbledore has been officiated as your guardian until the point of your taking up of your titles and so holds your seats."
"I want them out of his control and the locks changed on my vaults. I don't know who has access to my keys but I know it isn't me." Said Harry remembering the summer when Mrs Weasley helped herself to buy his things.
"Certainly." Ragnarock it wrote down, "Anything else you can think of?"
"I wish to get the equivalent of a lawyer in the wizarding world. Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, and I believe I know the one for you. The details will be owled to you."
"Thank you Lord Ragnarok, I don't know what I could have done without you." Said Harry smiling, "Though I have one last question."
Nodding Ragnarock gestured to the boy to continue.
"I've decided to go against a magical contract. The Goblet of Fire to be precise. I would like to know what that would mean for my status."
Ragnarock smiled surprisingly.
Waving a hand Ragnarock cast a spell before gasping in horror.
"What," said Harry, "What is it."
"Your magical core is about 90% blocked. This is good for what you want to do, but to do this to a magical child, you must struggle with your practical studies Harry, no?"
"Actually I'm pretty good." Said Harry confused and scared. Who would block his magic?
"then you must be a very powerful wizard." Writing something down he passed it to harry. "Say the words and you'll lose the ten percent of your unblocked magic, than we will remove the blocks; how does that sound?"
Harry was more than happy so he proceeded to say the words, "I, Harry James Potter do hereby forfeit my magic to unbind myself from the contract of the Goblet of Fire, so mote it be."
A flash of light and Harry slumped forwards.
Quickly waving his hand Ragnarock unbound Harry's magic and Harry felt almost as if a piece of him had returned.
"Come back tomorrow Harry and we will have done what you asked. I also advise getting some reading materials on Lordships and the Wizengamot."
Standing and thanking Ragnarock one last time, Harry made his way back into the street before heading into flourish and blotts and buying the books he needed before making his way back to the leaky cauldron and the room he rented.
Sitting down that night Harry found it easier to pick up information. Wondering if it was the blocks, Harry tried a few simple spells noticing how different it felt. It was like before there was something holding him back but now everything flowed through him. He'd always been particularly sensitive to magic.
He'd known since the day he walked into Ollivanders and could feel the place vibrating.
He learned of legilimency and occlumency and began training his mind.
Without Ron holding him back and Hermione to compete with Harry re learnt and learnt old and new spells, faster than ever before.
Sitting down after dinner, Harry wrote letters to Padfoot and Moony explaining what he found and whether he could trust them or not.
Harry was determined he could get Sirius freed in no time.
It was a start of a new beginning.
