Harry stared out the window at the rapidly changing countryside. One month ago he had taken part in the third task of the Legendary Tri-Wizard Tournament only to find it was an elaborate trap set by Voldermort to acquire him and by extension his blood, which was needed for his resurrection.

He had escaped Voldermort's clutches but a fellow student hadn't. Cedric Diggory, the Hogwarts champion had travelled with Harry to the graveyard only to be met with a swift death thank to the traitor Wormtail, also known as the fourth Marauder Peter Pettigrew.

His announcement to the world that Voldermort had returned was met with scepticism as was his part in the death of Cedric. Harry smirked ruefully as he remembered the rumours going round. That had only be the beginning, his fifth year at Hogwarts had been a nightmare with a communications black-out and the ministry trying to discredit him.

A month ago that had all changed with a trip to the department of mysteries were he and his five friends had fought for their life against the Death Eater. The order had arrive and they had managed to escape but not before his godfather was hit by a stunner from Bellatrix and fall through the veil.

It was because of that that he sworn he would prepare for the war that was bound to come and the first step would be to find out his finances, so a visit to Gringotts was in order.

Feeling the train slowly he began gathering his belongings ignoring Hermione as she prattled on about how he should behave well and inform Dumbledore if his scar hurt, he give an occasional grunt to make it appear he was listening.

Biding farewell he stepped of the train and hurried for the barrier ignoring the whispering and pointing that was going on around him. Walking resolutely through the stone barrier that divided the muggle and magical world he was met by large forms of Vernon and Dudley Dursley and the thinner form of Petunia Dursley.

"Come on Boy we don't have all day" Vernon hissed sharply pulling Harry towards the exit, Harry smirked slightly as he noticed Petunia glancing around. Once they had left the station and any watchful eye's Harry turned to his uncle

"Uncle I have a proposal" his uncle turned sharply "if you drop me of at Charring cross station you won't see hide nor hair of me until tomorrow night, I'll make my own way home." Vernon seemed to think it over before nodding "very well we'll leave you their freak but we expect you to have complete your chores once you get home". Harry nodded in agreement thinking it was a small price to pay.

The journey was in silence only broken when Harry thanked his uncle as he stepped out of the car. Dragging his trunk on a short wall he was met five minutes later by the sight of the leaky cauldron. Removing the invisibility cloak from his trunk he swung it over his making sure non of the trunk was visible before tailing a wizard as he entered the pub careful not to disturb anything.

He tapped the correct bricks with his holly wand whilst silently praying no-one noticed the wand hanging in mid-air. Slipping through the gap he sped up as he approached Gringotts. He removed the cloak once he had entered the bank nodding respectfully to the guards at the gold doors who seemed startled by his actions.

Approaching a free teller Harry gulped "I am here to speak with the manager of the Potter's Vaults" the goblin seemed to scrutinise him before calling a young goblin who Harry recognised as Griphook "Griphook it's good to see you again" Both the teller and said goblin were shocked at the man, he had not only remembered a goblins name but had spoken to him as a friend.

Harry noticing the silence realised he might have broken some rule or even worse insulted a goblin bowed "my apologias Master Griphook". This only shocked the goblin's further until they snapped out of their shock by a laugh "you Master Potter certain are something special".

Turning Harry was met by a elderly Goblin very richly dressed and noting the Goblins attitude and reverence he was very high up in the social chain. "It is a pleasure to finally met you Master Potter come there is much we have to discuss" Harry followed the Goblin through a side door into a richly furnished office.

"allow me to introduce myself, I am Ragnock Head at Gringotts and leader of the Goblin race". Harry who had just taken a sip of the offer beverage chocked recognising the name from history of Magic. Ragnock had been the manager at Gringotts for over ten centuries. He, with the help of Merlin and the Founders of Hogwarts had set up Gringotts and the associated treaties between Human's and Goblin's. He was rarely seen and even the minister had been denied a meeting with him during the last war about a potential treaty.

Realising just how privileged he was he rose slightly unsteadily to his feet and gave a hasty bow, Ragnock just looked on, amusement clearly twinkling in his eye's. "Now Mr Potter we have much to discuss, I assume that you have not received any notifications from Gringotts.

At Harry's negative reply Ragnock growled "so James was right Albus really is a bastard". Noticing Harry's confused stare he explained "A friend of ours who has from many decades questioned Dumbledore's activities feared something like this would have happened. Well I can assume that you know nothing of the withdrawals from the Potter family Trust nor the marriage contract between you and a Miss Weasley.

Harry felt anger like he'd never felt before "YOU MEAN SOMEONES BEEN STEALING FROM ME LET ME GUESS DUMBLEDORE AND WHY DID HE SET A MARRIAGE CONTRACT BETWEEN ME AND GINNY"

Ragnock watched in awe as Harry's aura unconsciously showed 'if he's this powerful with so much of his magic's bond no wonder he becomes a legend' he thought.

"Mr potter if you will let me continue" Harry became sheepish realising he'd just yelled at what could be consider royalty. "as I was saying Dumbledore has been taking money from you for the last 14 years ever since your parent's death, he has deposited the money in the vaults of Molly Weasley, Cornelius Fudge, Severus Snape and a person called Phoenix" Harry had no doubt that it was the Order. "you are also paying for the Wesley's tuition fee's".

"also since 1991 has made payments to a Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger. In 1992 he added Ginny Weasley and 1995 a one of payment to a Miss Cho Chang. He has also received several thousand Galleons a month for 'looking after Harry, at the same time has made payments to a Mr Vernon Dursley since you were left on his steps totalling 350,000 over the 14 years."

As Ragnock finished speaking he noticed Harry was pulsing with fury literally his magic was swirling around him in waves barely contained. As Ragnock had finished speaking Harry had lost control of his temper and his aura was clearly visible.

Those bastards the Dursleys had been looking after him for the last 14 years treating him like a slave, always moaning about him draining their resources yet they were being paid to look after him with his own money

He snarled. "What can be done"

Ragnock quickly explained "as Dumbledore had no legal claim to control your money and you gave no consensus for it we can return the money and if they can't pay for it we will take all available assets. We would also as the wizarding world to turn over Albus Dumbledore for braking a number of treaties but the wizarding world will follow their leader blindly."

" regain all the money I want it returned now" Ragnock pressed several button's on his desk "all monetary items have been returned along wit several other items many being books Dumbledore acquired from the Potter family and black, my guess is he took them from the potter house on the night of their death".

Harry thought 'spineless bastard he robbed my parents home after their death that's just sick'. "also included was the philosopher's Stone as you won it in battle it is your by right of conquest" .

Harry reverently took the stone weeping as he realised just how many deaths Albus bloody Dumbledore had caused, his parents, Cedric's, Sirius and now it seemed a long time friend of Albus's he had betrayed. Harry idly wondered weather Albus had ever been his friend or weather he was like the Weasley's and Granger were it was simple for power and prestige .

"Ragnock who is my magical Guardian" already knowing the answer it was only confirmed moments later

"Albus Dumbledore is your magical Guardian after the imprisonment of your Godfather, illegally I might add, he passed it through the Wizengamot after sealing the Potter's will."

"bet he glad that Sirius was imprisoned hell he might have even wan..ted, Ragnock get me the Potter will I have a sneaking suspicion that Albus set my Godfather up so he would have complete control over me".

Ragnock pressed another button and a will materialised in mid air, snatching it out of the air Harry tried to open it only to find it had shut with a wax seal. "After your parents death Albus had the will sealed as head of the Wizengamot, only you or the minister can break the seal" 'well at least we know what he paid fudge for'.

"I, Harry James Potter command the will of James Harold Potter and Lily Rose Potter-Evans to be released". The wax seal dissolved and Harry unfurled the will, scanning it quickly he found his worst fears realised.

I, James Harold Potter and I, Lily Rose Potter-Evans being of sound mind and body do hereby declare all previous will, void.

Firstly we leave 15,000 Galleons to each Remus Lupin and Sirius black who have been loyal friends, we will miss you, look after Harry.

We leave 10,000 to Minerva McGonagall for all the help and advice over the years

We leave 10,000 to Frank and Alice Longbottom for all the years of support over the years. We also leave a 5,000 trust to Neville Longbottom

We leave 5,000 to Alastair Moody for helping with all the training he has given us over the years.

We leave nothing to Peter Pettigrew as he has betrayed us as secret keeper to Voldermort.

We leave nothing to Albus Dumbledore as he has not kept us safe, his ability at Legillimency would have allowed him to note that Pettigrew was the traitor so we must assume that he wanted us dead.

Care of our son Harry James Potter is to be given to

Sirius Black

Remus Lupin

Minerva McGonagall

Alice Longbottom

Amelia Bones

UNDER NO CERCOMSTANCE IS HARRY TO BE PLACED WITH MY SISTER PETUNIA DURSLEY OR HER HUSBAND.

We leave all remaining money and properties as well as the title as head of the family of Potter to our Son, Harry James Potter.

Witnesses: Albus Dumbledore and Remus Lupin


Harry was furious, no he was livid. Dumbledore had purposefully put him with the Dursleys even though lily had stated otherwise, condemning him to ten years of hell.

Sirius. Did he know about the will, Lupin did though knowing Dumbledore he had wiped it from his mind or locked it away. The will clearly stated that Sirius wasn't the secret Keeper and this only further cemented the fact the Albus had purposefully sent him to prison. Once he had him out the way he had total control over the boy enabling him to mould him into a weapon.

"I would like to visit my Vault and remove my money from Gringotts" Ragnock blanched at the news "surely Mr Potter your money will be safe here at Gringotts" Harry sadly shock his head

"I wouldn't put it passed Dumbledore to pass a law that enabled him to seize his money if I didn't do as he said, if this was the case what would Gringotts do defend one customer and face the threat of war of concede and hand over the money either way it wold cast the bank in a bad light and neither of us would benefit, it is safe for me to remove the money now".

"in that case you may want to know that you are also head of the black family and all its monetary assets minus those in the will, Sirius's will specified that you been allowed access as soon as he died."

Harry nodded happy at the news but he knew he would swoop the fortune for Sirius to be alive and well, "what about getting revenge against Dumbledore" harry asked standing. Ragnock showed his pointed teeth "Don't worry Mr Potter, James Evans is helping us and believe me some of his plans out do themselves."

Ragnock slid of his chair and called Griphook "take Mr Potter to the Potter Family Vault and the Black Vault". Griphook lead Harry through the maze of corridors until the stepped out onto a ledge.

Griphook whistled and a cart came into view, they shot through the darkness until the slowed outside a large doorway with a griffin on the front.

Following instructions from Griphook he placed a palm on the cold stone wincing when the door cut his hand checking his blood. The door swung open and Harry found himself standing in a cavernous room, a pile of gold in the centre. Hangings for swords, paintings lay empty along the wall.

Noticing the trunk at the base of the pile he pulled his wand knowing that underage magic couldn't be detected in Gringotts he banished the gold into the trunk leaving him standing in an empty cavern.

Closing the trunk he examined it closer before starting in shock as he recognised the symbol on the trunk as that of the legendary wizard Merlin's personal symbol. A lightning bolt in the background with a dragon in mid flight and a crossed sword and staff with a circle around the edge, the lightning bolt cutting through at tip and tail. The whole thing was held in a diamond shape, the edges pure gold by the looks.

Playing with the trunk he found he could shrink the trunk to the size of a matchbox and it became a simple necklace. Exiting the now vacant Potter Vault they proceeded to the Black Vault were he repeated the process, it was on one final glance that he caught sight of a half hidden in darkness portrait, the only one that hadn't already been removed and placed in the trunk by the goblins, or so he thought.

Approaching the portrait he was shocked when it spoke "Harry" he instantly recognised it as his godfather though his voice sounded slightly different, lighter. Maybe it was how he sounded before he'd spent over a decade in Azkaban.

"Sirius" Harry asked breathless. "yes its me kiddo know we have to hurry we haven't got long" Confused he asked "what haven't we got long to do" "now listen closely Harry this is important. Over the centuries the Black's have been experimenting with ways to travel between dimensions I am offering you this chance, there is nothing here for you." Sirius finished sadly.

"The trunk was a gift of mine, now the world is called Alagaesia, I know you don't like war and to be the centre of attention so I am giving you this chance, who knows you might find a girl." becoming more serious he continued "harry whatever you chose your parents would have been proud of you, it is my belief that they would have wished for you to live a life of happiness rather than bent on revenge.

Harry was shocked at the offer and at Sirius's statement, one of the few reasons he could think of continuing to fight Voldermort was for his parents but know Sirius had discounted the thought.

"Very well I will go to Alagaesia"

Sirius actually jumped for joy and did a little jig "excellent now stand still."

Sirius began chanting in a language that was foreign to Harry but he felt that it held tremendous power. Reciting the last word a pure beam of magic shot from the painting hitting Harry. His last though before falling unconscious 'I'm going to kill Sirius'.

Harry slowly faded out of view and seconds later a tall man in his forties phased into view "so it begins"
