I did not invent Harry Potter I play with him I do not make money of this I just do it for fun. Also I know my grammar isn't the best but I am getting better. No, this won't be a female Harry story and most of you who read my stories will probably be happy. This story happens after book six and things will be changed. I hope you like it and I haft to say this is the longest chapter I have ever written. Have a good read! Also this wont be update very quickly as I work on my other stories and I write hopefully very long chapters for this one.

Chapter 1 The beginning.

It had been two days since he had arrived at Privet drive from Hogwarts. Three days had also past since the death of his mentor and Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore. In his mind the greatest wizard to ever live. The night his mentor had died had been a blow to his heart and to his will. He hadn't known how they would be able to continue in the war without the most powerful wizard.

During his two days here at Privet drive he had gone through most of his things, even re-reading his books finding that the teachers had not taught them a few really good spells that could help in the war. He was even reading the books that he had been given over the years for his birthday and Christmas. It was unbelievable what he read in them and now he wished that he had done it sooner.

Looking out over the night sky he smiled to himself. He would kill Voldemort he would kill him not for the world but for himself; he would kill him for what he did to his parents, his family and his life. Voldemort would pay and he would make sure of it.

…

Two days past since Harry's vow to himself yet he wasn't thinking of that vow at this point. No he was thinking one thing, what the hell was wrong with his friends and why the hell were they in his room at nine o'clock at night?

Harry looked at the three people currently standing in his bedroom: Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Ginny Weasley, two of which were his best friends and the other was his ex-girlfriend. It was late at night and only two days after leaving Hogwarts. He was about to ask them why they were there when suddenly Ginny through her arms around his neck and kissed him. His eyes widen as he caught her but the sensation of her lips on his was too much and so he kissed her back. When they pulled apart he looked at her with longing in his eyes but knew he couldn't be with her.

"Ginny you know why we…" he started but she stopped him.

"I love you, I love you with all my heart and I will always be here for you, please Harry, don't push me away." She pleaded looking into his eyes.

"But…" he started to protest when Hermione stopped him.

"Dumbledore did say that love overpowers everything Harry and I know you love Ginny with all your heart." She said smiling at them.

Harry closed his eyes and then looked down at her with his eyes filled with love. He could tell she knew his answer as she kissed him again and he didn't fight her. Finally they let their lips part and sat up straighter although he had his own arms around her waist and chin on her head.

"What are you guys doing here?" he asked them.

"Well Ron had a brilliant idea and so we came here to tell you." Hermione said making Harry smirk and Ron blush slightly.

"But didn't you guys think that it would be dangerous coming all the way here, and your parents are going to freak." Harry said gulping at the thought of facing Mrs. Wesley's temper.

"We'll talk about that later but for now let's tell you our idea." Ginny said. "He said that all the old families have family vaults and family properties and I knew that the Potters were an old, pureblood family so technically you should have a family vault." she said making Harry think.

"Normally the old families kept books and other things in there family vault and not just money." Ron said. "Maybe there is a book that can help us." he said but was interrupted by an owl taping at the window. Looking it over Harry took the letter and looked it over. What he found was the Gringotts seal on it.

"It's from Gringotts." he told them, breaking the seal and opening it. Taking the thick sheet of parchment out he started to read.

Dear Mr. Potter,

We here at Gringotts understand that the war has started in our world and also know that you are a big part of this war. Thus we ask for your presences at Gringotts as soon as possible. We understand that telling to much in mail is very dangerous and so anytime you can come and tell us you are Harry Potter we will reveal what we must tell you.

Yours truly,

Lord Murdock

"I wonder what they want to talk to me about." Harry said frowning.

"We can go now if you want." Hermione said but then blanched. "No we're being watched." she said shaking her head.

"We can get there." Ginny said looking at them.

"How?" Harry asked her.

"Well Hermione can apparate with a letter written by yourself, Harry, where Hermione gives the letter to the goblins." she answered. "The goblins will verify it because everything you touch leaves a touch of your magical signature behind, while also adding some of your blood to the paper to make it concrete." she continued looking at Harry. "You write a letter telling them what your predicament is and such." she finished.

"That just might work Ginny." Hermione said brightening up.

"Here you go mate, some parchment, ink, and a quill." Ron said grabbing it from a pile in his room.

Taking it Harry started to write the letter making sure to take any advice given to him by Hermione and Ginny. By the time they were done he was very happy with his letter. Putting it into an envelope he sealed it with a little bit of candle wax he had in his room and then turned to them.

"Alright it's done, now tell me how your parents wont react badly to your disappearance?" he said raising on eyebrow.

"We just left without telling them." Ron said as a red stain appeared on his cheeks as he looked at his feet.

"I obliviated my parents." Hermione said making Harry sit up straighter.

"Sent them to America making them think they didn't have a daughter and that they're names were Elisabeth and Christopher Evens." She told him.

"You people are crazy." Harry muttered shaking his head. "Obliviated parents and running away." he said.

"We needed to tell you, and my parents are safer away from England, and safer not knowing me." Hermione told him making him smile grimly; after all it was true what she had said but it didn't make it any easier to swallow. Taking a deep breath he handed his letter to Hermione who wrapped a cloak over her shoulders and disappeared with a soft pop.

"You mother is going to kill you." he told them.

"I'll agree there mate, after this war we are so dead." Ron said shaking his head.

"I suppose we do deserve it though. I mean we ran away Ron, I know that she would have let us go without leaving like we did, but she must be so worried with only a letter." Ginny said shaking her head.

Pop

Jumping a foot in the air they each took there wands out but sighed as they say Hermione holding a small Soft drink can.

"We got a portkey." She said brightly.

Grinning, everybody helped Harry pack his things and then Hermione shrank it. Touching the portkey they all left Privet drive for Gringotts.

…

Arriving in Gringotts they all fell on their behinds making the people who were there, which weren't many, frown in disapproval. Hurriedly they got to there feet and welcomed the goblin who made its way to them.

"You must be Mr. Potter." The goblin said in a soft voice so that nobody would overhear him.

"Yes, if it's acceptable my friends will be accompanying me." Harry said softly.

"It is acceptable sir, please can you please prick your finger with this digger and say your name." The goblin said bowing slightly and handing a dagger over. Harry did as told and then said his name. The blade turned blue and the goblin smiled.

"That was just to see if you were who you said you were." The goblin said taking the dagger back. "Please follow me." he said.

Following the goblin they were lead through the massive halls of Gringotts all the way to a set of majestic double doors and into a beautiful office which was packed with different things and papers. An old Goblin sat behind a large wooden desk and smiled to them as they entered.

"Ah welcome Mr. Potter and your young friends. I am glad we were able to assist you in coming here for this very important meeting." The goblin said. "My name is Lord Murdock and I am the head of this bank." He told them proudly. "Please do sit down so that we may begin." He said motioning to the chairs. When they were all seated he started to talk once again. "Now Mr. Potter you must be wondering why I asked for you to come as soon as you could. As you will be turning seventeen very soon my goblins have been searching through your accounts to see if there is anything of importance.

"I'm very happy to say there is nothing wrong or missing from your vaults and so we were able to look through other certain things and we came onto one thing. A loop hole that you might like a lot." he said making the group of teenagers frown. What could it be that would make Harry so happy?

"Your grandfather, Alexander Potter, stated in his will that during a state of war with only the Potter heir left, said heir would be emancipated immediately. Now as the Wizarding world is in the state of war and you are the last Potter alive, then we are proud to say that you are at this point emancipated." He said handing a small leather box over.

Harry took it and opened it only to gasp at what he saw. In the box was a set of rings, only two but the second one was what he never thought he would have. The first was the Potter family ring which was a yellow gold ring in the shape of phoenix with a red ruby between its tail feathers and its beak. The next one thought was a gold griffin with a red ruby in-between its beak and its lion's tail. He had seen this one in history books and couldn't believe it. The first he expected as the Potter family ring but the next one, the second one was not at all what he expected because in front of him was the legendary Gryffindor family ring.

"You must be wondering why you have the Gryffindor ring with you, well let me explain, Godric Gryffindor found that because of him his own family was in danger. And so he told his children to not take the Gryffindor name but a different name. Nobody knew this since he only had two children, a son who was the oldest and a daughter who was only a year younger. They both changed their names to Potter and so the Potter family started. You are a direct descendent from Gryffindor's first born son and so from Gryffindor himself." the Goblin told them making them all gap like fishes.

"Bloody hell mate, you're related to Gryffindor himself." Ron whispered in shock.

"I never knew, I mean I did summon the Gryffindor sword in my second year but I never knew." Harry said in shock.

"That sword belongs to you now young lord, and you may summon it at any time." the goblin told him.

"Thank you sir." Harry said slipping both rings onto his fingers.

"That isn't all the things I have to speak with you about sir, there are two more rings you are missing." The goblin said making Harry nervous. How many bloody rings did he own?

Harry gulped as he saw the grin on the goblin's face he just knew that whatever the goblin told him he would be dazed.

"First, as your godfather, Sirius Black, named you his heir you are now the lord of the Black family and so this ring belongs to you." he started handing a black leather box over. Harry took it with shaking hands and opened it softly. What he found was not what he expected. The ring was made of black onyx and was in the form of a grim with diamond eyes. "You godfather had it changed to that because the old ring had been destroyed." The goblin told him making Harry smile. "Now Lord Potter, it seems like your mother wasn't as muggleborn as people might think." He said making Harry close his eyes. "You mother actually came from two very long lines of squibs on both her mother's and her father's side." he continued. "You see Harry, on you grandmother's side there was a boy named Edgar Stone, he was the son of one Elisabeth Ravenclaw, the second daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw." The goblin told him and Harry buried his face in his hands.

"Sir, are you suggesting I'm the heir to Ravenclaw as well?" he asked hoping the goblin was pulling his leg.

"No Lord Potter I am not suggesting anything I am stating that indeed you are the heir to the Ravenclaw family, the last and oldest heir if I must be exact." The goblin said giving them a toothy grin. "Now before you collapse of shock I would also like to tell you about your last inheritance." The goblin said making them all look at him. "By way of conquest you are now the heir to Slytherin." he said simply then handed two boxes over.

One was made of what Harry recognized to be basilisk skin and the other of black leather. With shaking hands he took each box and opened them. In the black leather box was a ring made of white gold with blue sapphires around it. In the other one was a silver ring in the shape of a snake with emerald as its eyes. Gently he put each ring on his finger and let them adjust. Finally they all merged together to form one ring. The ring was now not gold but for some reason white crystal in the shape of a chimera with a yellow gold bead in-between the chimera's beak and lion's tail.

"That is the combined ring you can also wish it to turn into the Potter ring and it will do that the same with the other rings." The goblin told him. Harry thought about it and suddenly the ring turned into the Potter ring. Thinking to the combined form it turned back.

"What happened to the fourth heir the Hufflepuff heir?" Hermione asked frowning.

"Helga Hufflepuff stated that her family has always had a lady and not a lord which put them apart from every other magical family back then. It is also stated that the Hufflepuff line has not had a single female in it since Helga Hufflepuff herself. We think that it has something to do with the family changing its name when she was killed by a dark lord but never told people what their new name was." the goblin answered making them all frown but Ginny for a different reason.

She had always been told that she was the first female Weasley in generations and if the Hufflepuff family had changed there name to a different one maybe, no it couldn't be.

"Gin, aren't you the first female Weasley in a while." Harry said turning his attention to her and making her blush.

"Yes I am the first female Weasley in a while but our family has always been in Gryffindor." she protested.

"Miss Weasley, would you be willing to try the Hufflepuff ring? If it does not accept you then you are not the heir but if it does then the Hufflepuff vaults will be re-opened and given to you." the goblin asked her.

"It can't hurt, Gin." Harry said placing a hand on her knee.

"Well alright then, I suppose I could try." She said with a sigh.

The goblin smiled at them then summoned the Hufflepuff family ring. As they waited for the ring the goblin explained a few other things about the families Harry now had under him. Although he was the last one Harry felt that it was a great wait because the future of his own family was on the line. Finally the ring arrived and he handed the box over to Ginny.

Ginny opened the box; she didn't look at the ring as she didn't want to get attached to it. When she took it the goblin's eyes widen. With one swift movement she placed the ring on her finger and froze as it glowed and fit to it.

"Gin…" Harry whispered. "Welcome to my world." he finished making Ron and Hermione crack a smile and Ginny look up at him in shock and then Hermione started to repeat the song.

"In times of old, when I was new,
And Hogwarts barely started,
The founders of our noble school
Thought never to be parted.
United by a common goal,
They had the selfsame yearning
To make the world's best magic school
And pass along their learning.
"Together we will build and teach"
The four good friends decided.
And never did they dream that they
Might some day be divided.
For were there such friends anywhere
As Slytherin and Gryffindor?
Unless it was the second pair
Of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw,
So how could it have gone so wrong?
How could such friendships fail?
Why, I was there, so I can tell
The whole sad, sorry tale.
Said Slytherin, "We'll teach just those
Whose ancestry's purest."
Said Ravenclaw, "We'll teach those whose
Intelligence is surest"
Said Gryffindor, "We'll teach all those
With brave deeds to their name."
Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot
And treat them just the same."
These differences caused little strife
When first they came to light.
For each of the four founders had
A house in which they might
Take only those they wanted, so,
For instance, Slytherin
Took only pure-blood wizards
Of great cunning just like him.
And only those of sharpest mind
were taught by Ravenclaw
While the bravest and the boldest
Went to daring Gryffindor.
Good Hufflepuff, she took the rest
and taught them all she knew,
thus, the Houses and their founders
Maintained friendships firm and true." She said but then Ron continued.

"So Hogwarts worked in harmony
for several happy years,
but then discord crept among us
feeding on our faults and fears." He finished and then Ginny took hold of the song.

"The Houses that, like pillars four
had once held up our school
now turned upon each other and
divided, sought to rule.
And for a while it seemed the school
must meet an early end.
what with dueling and with fighting
and the clash of friend on friend.
And at last there came a morning
when old Slytherin departed
and though the fighting then died out
he left us quite downhearted.
And never since the founders four
were whittled down to three
have the Houses been united
as they once were meant to be." She sang and finally Harry finished the song.

"And now the Sorting Hat is here
and you all know the score:
I sort you into Houses
because that is what I'm for.
But this year I'll go further,
listen closely to my song:
though condemned I am to split you
still I worry that it's wrong,
though I must fulfill my duty
and must quarter every year
still I wonder whether sorting
may not bring the end I fear.
Oh, know the perils, read the signs,
the warning history shows,
for our Hogwarts is in danger
from external, deadly foes
and we must unite inside her
or we'll crumble from within
I have told you, I have warned you...
let the Sorting now begin." Hermione finished making the goblin smile. This four shocked him beyond belief today. To find the Hufflepuff heir and to think that the four houses were reunited at last was a great thought.

"We gathered the houses but I don't think it was what the sorting hat wanted." Ginny said looking down at the beautiful ring covering her finger. The ring represented Hufflepuff perfectly. It was a badger made of gold with an amber colored stone.

"Why don't I summon a goblin to bring you to your vaults?" he said. "I assume you four will wish to remain together." He said.

"Yes sir, if it is at all possible." Harry said.

"Of course, but I will send you four down with a guard as well." he said calling for two goblins. "I don't know if Voldemort will attack Gringotts, I would like to see him try but still we would like to keep you four as safe as possible." He said.

"Thank you sir for everything you did today." Harry said making the Head goblin grin. "Also I would like to tell you that we found a certain Hufflepuff cup in one of the Death Eaters vaults and so has been placed into its rightful vault." he said making Ginny smile.

"Thank you for that, sir." Ginny said with a bow.

"You are most welcomed, Lady Hufflepuff." The goblin said bowing respectfully. The four returned the gesture and soon were lead from the office by two goblins.

…

They arrived in the carriage area and entered a carriage. In little to no time they were rolling along the tracks and arrived at the Potter family vault. They all got out and Harry was told to place his ring finger into the hole. He did as told and then the door that wasn't far from his own finger opened.

Walking into the vault Harry found that today or tonight was just getting even more surprising. On one side of the vault was more then enough galleons, sickles, and knuts then he could ever spend in his own life time. On the other side were different things. There were bookshelves filled with books. There were trunks filled with jewelery while old furniture was all around. Suddenly Harry spotted a one thing he never thought he would ever see. It was a bunch of portraits. He counted ten about and he recognized two of them as the paintings of his parents.

"Are you going to take them?" Ron asked.

"They are safer here in this place, I do plan on living through this war so they will get moved somewhere after." He answered, puling his eyes from the paintings. He frowned as he found a box with papers in it. Going over he looked through them and the first thing he read made him grin.

Alena Castle

Bought by:

Godric Gryffindor

Information: Alena Castle was the first Hogwarts wish was used by the founders when Hogwarts was being built. It is a little smaller then Hogwarts but has more wards and protection the Hogwarts. The library is also bigger and there is an armoury, dueling rooms and even a ball room. Alena castle was also were Gryffindor spent his summers with his own family.

It kept going on about the castle and Harry couldn't stop but think that the place would be perfect to study and get ready for the horcruxes. They would also be safe there from the Death Eaters. Turning to his friends he showed them the papers and they grinned. It was perfect.

"Lord Potter I was told to offer you and your three friend's shelter here at Gringotts for the night as it is getting very late." The guard said making the four Gryffindors smile.

"I think we will accept the offer, thank you." Harry said smiling.

"Oi Harry, you have a seven compartment trunk here!" Ron shouted making them all run over. Harry took the parchment and started to read. He found that the trunk had one compartment that was a library and that was already stacked with books. There was a huge compartment that could hold a lot more things and the rest were the same.

"Ok Hermione, I need you to go through the books and find what you think would be most important. Ron, can you bring the ten portraits over here and put them in here. With this we can bring them. Ginny and I will go through everything else." Harry said.

Everybody got to work and Harry found his parents' school trunks which had many diaries about the Marauder's pranks and other things. They put those in the trunk along with his mother's journals. He then found his parents wedding rings which he put on a chain after finding one and put it around his neck. After that they found a few other things; even a few letters addressed to him which he put in the only small compartment.

By the time they finished Harry shrank it and then they left for the Black vault. There they were a little more careful. When Harry found Sirius' portrait he gulped and put it into the trunk along with the books in the Black section he took the documents from that vault and also put it in the trunk then the left.

Arriving at the founders vaults they found that the vaults were extremely different. There were actually different rooms in the vaults that had different things in them. They had even found the paintings of the four founders there. Harry took those and put them in his trunk. Finally they were lead to a set of rooms they would stay in for the night. The room was one big one with four beds: two on one side and two on the other. The girls took one side while the boys took the other and before long they were all asleep with their wands under their heads.

Thank you to Fairqueen2 for betaing my story.
