Chapter 1

Harry Potter sat in his room at Privet Drive. The summer was his worst part of the year, as he had to stay with his annoying relatives, who did not even acknowledge sometimes that he lived there or when they did they brought him very small meals. But this summer was the worst as Harry just lost yet another close person to him- his Godfather Sirius Black was killed by his own cousin Bellatrix Lestrange nee Black. The death hit hard many people; especially Tonks and Remus but the hardest blow received Harry. He remembered as he met Sirius back in his third year and almost got an opportunity to live in a much better place with the person who actually cared about him.

Harry looked around in his room as saw a small bowl of soup, which was given to him by his relatives. If it were any other time, he would have eaten the soup with delight but as of now Harry was so sad that he even ignored the food, which his relative gave him.

Suddenly Harry saw that a bird hit the window. He did not recognize the bird, as it was not snowy white Hedwig or annoying Pig or old Weasley owl. This one was a rather young adult brown owl, which had a letter attached to its leg. Harry quickly opened the window, as he did not want to disturb the Dursleys and took the letter.

"Dear Mr. Potter," the letter said, " We are sorry to inform you of your loss. However, we need you to be present in Gringotts for the reading of the will of Sirius Black as he left mostly everything to you as well as his title. There are other things we will need to discuss with you as well but that will occur after the reading of the will. The letter is a portkey and it is activated by words "Sirius Black"."

Harry took the letter and said the two words. He then instantly got teleported in the bank, where he saw the group of goblins standing in the room. "Hello Mr. Potter, again we are sorry for your loss but we need to make sure you receive your inheritance as well as deal with other important things. Before we go to the Will Reading, we need to give you this letter." The goblin gave him the letter and Harry opened it. A hologram of Sirius Black appeared and he started talking.

"If you are hearing this, then I am sorry Harry that I left you in this cruel world. Recently I learned a bunch of interested things and my main conclusion was that you absolutely cannot trust Albus Dumbledore. I understand partly that he thought that I was not a very suitable person to live with, as I was probably not a good role model to follow except if you are Weasley twins. However, I learned that Dursleys are not your only relatives. You have many wizard relatives as all pureblood families are inter related, so you are distantly related to Blacks, Malfoys, Weasleys and so on. But as Dumbledore said your mother's protection would work only with your mother's relatives and until recently I thought that Dursleys were your only maternal relatives. But it is not the case. First of all, have you ever wondered why you are safe at the Weasleys's house? The Burrow by itself is not very heavily guarded but the main source why you were actually safe there because you have a blood relative leaving at that house who is your sister. She is not your only maternal relative however beside the Dursleys though, you have other cousins living in America, whom I recently contacted, you will meet them at the Will Reading.

I would also like to give you my last minute blessing in your fight against Voldemort. I know that you will defeat him and his pathetic group of Death Munchers. Also, stay close to Hermione as she will be at your side no matter what, she already proved that on many occasions. Regarding the Weasleys- I don't think you can trust Molly, Percy and especially Ronald; however, I think that the twins and Arthur are trustworthy. I do not know Bill or Charlie personally so I cannot pass judgment on them. And please save your sister from this Molly woman! Bye Godson, you were as good to me as my own son" With this Sirius Black's image faded and a tear existed Harry's eye.

"Please follow us Mr. Potter," said the main goblin and Harry followed them. Soon he approached the room where many people sat and saw the Weasleys, his friends, and many adults, some of whom he did not know. One of the people there had a strong resemblance to Lily Potter; she had long red hair, looked rather intelligent and sat besides a man in his late thirties with black hair. Harry entered the room and after he sat in the chair, the reading begun.

A/N: I think I gave enough hints on the identity of Harry's sister as well as some hints about his other maternal relatives. Next chapter - the Will Readings as well as Harry talking to his other relatives.
