Harry potter and the Enchanters' Adventures-
Chapter One-
Harry sat cold and alone watching the scenery going by. The year had been hectic, he knew that, but he felt hollow after seeing the death of his godfather. He wondered why he didn't believe Hermione, he just couldn't risk it. He had plastered a smile on his face for his friends, he hated it. Smiling, when he felt nothing, working, when he didn't have the drive to. Everyone thought that he was handling fine, but he was slowly killing himself from the inside.
He was brought out of his thoughts by the compartment door opening to show a smiling Ron and Hermione. He quickly replaced his frown with his normal 'happy' face. Nodding in greeting only to get pitying looks from both his friends. It sickened him, why was he being pitied? He was handling it better than anyone.
An awkward silence filled the room. The other two occupants sharing looks, and harry just staring out the window, no-one daring to speak encase of upsetting the others. Harry shifted his gaze to the other occupants.
"You seem happy," he stated in a monotone.
Both looked at each other then harry before nodding. And then lowering their gaze to the floor, looking guilty. Harry raised an eyebrow in which was answered with a cough from Hermione and Ron.
"Is there something you're not telling me?" Harry questioned.
Both looked at each other then nodded.
"Harry mate, me and Hermione are going out," Ron said slowly afraid of upsetting harry.
Harry nodded, "Good for you mate, you too Hermione," he said in a rather monotone voice again. The other occupants nodded nervously and coughed again. They both knew he had power, but didn't know how to use it. They both new they had to keep it that way or Albus wouldn't pay them.
The door once again opened, startling the occupants. But this time came a welcome sight to harry, Luna lovegood and Neville longbottom. He smiled warmly at them and beckoned them in. They beamed at him and sat in the two seats next to him.
"Hello Harry," said Luna in a sing-song voice and Neville casually.
"Hello Neville, Luna, what are you doing this summer?"
They both went in to an in-depth explanation still beaming at him until they looked over and frowned, both looking at Ron and Hermione. The two shifted in their seats uncomfortably looking anywhere but the other occupants of the carriage. Harry was about to say something but the train started to slow down.
"Harry, remember when there's a will there's a way. Remember Sirius wouldn't want you to be sad," Neville said cryptically.
Harry nodded slowly, digesting the information and noticing the way Neville said those two words. Will and Sirius. Of course Sirius' will! He would've left one. But how could he go to Gringotts? He surely wouldn't be allowed to go. But the trains already stopped, he wouldn't have enough time to plan. He looked around the platform hurriedly, there! He spotted the floo; he could leave the platform from there and go straight to Gringotts. Genius. With a wave to his friends he hurried to the gate to the muggle platform, and jumped into an alcove just before the gate. He slipped out the invisibility cloak and pulled it on. He slid through the crowd, careful not to touch anyone, to the floo which he quickly took a handful and threw it on the fire. He stepped in, careful not to catch the invisibility cloak on anything, and in a whisper he said, "Diagon alley". He went swirling through the flame and ash, watching flashes of people's homes assaulting his vision.
He crashed through the floo straight into a crowd of people waiting by to use it.
'I really hate the floo,' he thought bitterly, wiping the soot and ash from his robes. 'Luckily no-one can see me,' he thought once again, looking at the disgruntled faces of the crowd he crashed into. He backed away from the crowd careful to step over the dishes and cups that had fallen over. The heavy wooden door creaked as he pushed gently as not to alert the inhabitants of the pub.
Once in the ally he sighed in relief and pulled his cloak off, before pulling his slightly dirty wand from its place in his pocket. He walked steadily towards the dustbin and pressed the appropriate brick with his wand. He stepped back to marvel at the magnificence of the magic at work as the wall turned into a large stone archway.
He stepped into Diagon alley confidently, he strolled head-high showering the alley in his confidence as he headed straight towards the largest and grandest building within the alley. He gave respectful nods to those who waved and those who he believed deserved it. He stopped at the steps of gringotts composing himself for meeting the goblins. He stepped forward up the stairs and through the giant door which led to a vast hall filled with goblins and humans running around working and the like.
He stepped up to the one goblin he knew by name."Hello Griphook, I have come for I believe my Godfather may have left a will."
The goblin was stunned to say the least no wizard have ever learned a goblins name, nor shown one politeness. "Greetings to you to Mr Potter, may I say no wizards have shown goblins respect since Merlin himself! And I believe you're godfather did leave a will, please follow me."
The Goblin led harry deeper and deeper into the labyrinth of halls named gringotts, they stopped at a large silver door, inscribed upon the door was 'Wills Office'. Harry gulped at the door which was taller than him by at least five heads. Griphook gently pushed at the door so not to scratch it.
Harry's jaw dropped to the floor, the hall was magnificent. Large marble pillars lined the wall, holding up the large gold cathedral ceiling. The floor covered with different veins of blue, green, red, gold and silver running from wall to wall all connecting to the one point, which above the point held what looked like a silver stool holding a basin of sorts. The basin held what looked like melted gold, swirling continually around clock-wise. His thoughts were cut short when Griphook starts talking him,
"Now Mr Potter you're the only recipient on this will, and his heir," harry nodded," So you are essentially Lord Black, and now to the will." He finished pointing towards the basin and clicked his fingers. A ghostly miniature Sirius floated from the basin, in a low monotone voice Sirius said," I Sirius Orion Black, of sound body and mind hereby say all wills before this and after void, I leave all my possessions as well as the title Lord black to my godson Harry Potter, he is to be emancipated and tested for powers and inheritance. Now Harry, not is all as it seems, look closely at those you trust and those you don't, I have left a letter for you within my personal vault. Remember these words; the past may play more in the future. Now Harry, go to the Potter family Vault, and the 'extra vault'. Before I go Harry I love you, and hope for your future. Goodbye.
Harry stared sadly as the Sirius figure sunk back into the golden basin, questions flying around his head. He wondered what he meant 'look closely at those you trust and those you don't', did it mean his enemies could be trusted and not his friends? He was brought out of his thoughts by his goblin company clearing their throats repeatedly.
"Mr Potter as Mr Blacks wishes you have been scheduled for an inheritance and power test in five minutes." Griphook said rather sadly or that's what Harry thought. Harry stood for the five minutes in thought, what will the inheritance test say? What powers will I have? What was the extra vault? Will I be part something cool? Or just human?
When he was once again brought out of his thoughts by his goblin company, who were pointing towards the door which was plated in gold. Harry assed the door cautiously as he walked towards it, he was stunned at the art work on the door; showing battles upon battles.
As he entered he was disappointed by the lack of grandness the rest of the bank had shown. The room was bare except a piece of metal bolted to the wall completely which was completely empty. Harry walked towards the metal, as soon as he got a metre within it words started to fill the metal, faster and faster the words appeared until the metal was full. Harry looked closely; it looked like gibberish to him, as if the room sensed his confusion a piece of parchment materialised on the floor underneath the metal plaque. Harry bent to retrieve the parchment, but when his hand touched the parchment, he felt a pricking sensation on his palm and more writing added to the list harry signed this was going to take a while. He left the room frowning at the parchment; it wasn't very long or very short at least. As he walked into the room he was quickly ushered into a large plush chair. As harry got comfortable he read:

Harry stared shocked at the paper in his hands; he could be the most powerful person in the world! He could help all those he cares about, he could defeat Voldermort. He didn't even notice when Griphook asked for the paper, but he just instead gave it to him stiffly.
What brought him out of his thoughts this time was Griphook's gasp. He chuckled at the goblins expression, he mouth making a perfect O. Once Griphook snapped out of his daze he started rambling on about the next Merlin and about the most powerful person in the world.
"Lord Potter may I say Gringotts would love to help with healing your ailments and finding the perpetrator. And may I welcome you to the life of an adult wizard, "Griphook said with a bow.
"None of that Lord stuff Griphook we are friends are we not?" Harry questioned.
"Of course my lo...harry shall you be off to the infirmary? Or will you got that poor excuse of a healing facility, St. Mungos," he spat the last words.
"I'd like to stay here if you don't mind, I don't exactly trust the wizarding world at the moment," Harry stated.
"Of course harry," Griphook said excitedly.
1 week later-
"Harry would you like to see your vaults?" questioned Griphook.
"I would like that, that is if you would come as well?" harry asked.
Griphook nodded and followed harry into the hall. He swore harry knew these halls like a goblin, the way he went around. He looked over the young human; he had become to think of as a friend, He had become taller but not by much, and he had filled out more leaving him lean except his arms which were more muscled much like how the dwarves were meant to look like. His hair had lengthened to shoulder length and his face had aged ten years it seemed.
Once they reached the mine cart Harry was practically jumping with excitement he hadn't been to his family vault yet in his week there. Harry couldn't help but let out a whoop of joy as the cart ran down the tracks straight down to the lowest depths of gringotts. He jumped from the cart straight to the platform, and ran to the door like a like a six-year-old on Christmas, he had learned to open the door to his family vaults out of excitement. As he held his hand in the groove he was met by a jolt of magic and a cloud of dust as the door opened. His jaw dropped to the floor, he had hoped to find a book of his history or anything but what he found was more. He walked in to a literal treasure mine, maps hung on every wall, books piled hazardly around the room, grand weapons on stands cluttered the room even more. And every other inch of flooring filled with galleons, sickles and knuts. In Harry's mind the first thing he saw was the map of Hogwarts, he quickly shuffled in through the pile of things to it. The map showed all the grounds and was enchanted exactly like the marauders map. Except it showed another part harry wasn't sure of. It was labelled as dwarf mine/compound and empire yet he hadn't seen it. Harry decided that's where he is going, and go he would.
1 day later-
Harry had been dropped at hogsmead by Griphook, he decided to hike to the point and go on from there, for sake of security, he hadn't expected much maybe a fort but not the hole in the ground he had found, as he looked through the hole and hoped there was nothing dangerous down there. He closed his and then he just jumped.
A/N- ok I fixed the abilities list, and Morpheus was in there because harry needed power, as it happens Merlin wasn't exactly powerful but knowledgeable, all the Greek gods do exist in the story, they probably won't be in it too much if at all. Grims and hellhounds are two different animals, both because of his ancestry, hellhound he got as he is a shadow elemental. Please review, this is my first fanfiction, please review with constructive criticism; I hope to have a new chapter every week. Enjoy.
