Harry awoke to the sound of birds chirping to signal a new day had begun. Harry cracked open his eyes, and saw streams of sunlight flooding his room, Hedwig was asleep in her cage. Harry sighed softly, before getting up and quickly dressing, in to a pair of jeans and a purple shirt.

Once he was done, he sat down at his desk. Quickly getting out a ink well and a quill with parchment. He quickly applied ink to his quill, and started to write his letters to Remus and Gringotts. He decided to do the letter to Gringotts first.

'Dear Ragnok,

I have recently come into the possession of two rings, that have been labeled as Heir Rings. Now I have always believed that Gringotts took care of the Rings, and I am wondering if you could check for me if they are real or not. Of course, at your earliest convenience. The two Rings you will be looking at, are the Potter and Cain family Rings.

And, I am also wondering if you could, shift around your busy schedule for me too come in and talk to you. Because I am wondering exactly who the Cain family are. I will be talking more about it with a close friend, but I am hoping you can also shed some light on the Cain family, because I have never heard of them before. Thank you, and may you always profit.

Sincerely, Harold James Potter.'

Harry looked over his letter, and decided it was formal enough, and quickly grabbed the two ring boxes from his night stand, and magically tied them to the envelope. He then got out another piece of parchment, to write his letter to Remus.

'Dear Moony,

I have recently received a letter from Sirius, that I am having doubts about, and I am wondering if you can take some time and discuss it with me. I hope you can see me soon, because I would love too see you. Please reply as soon as you can, because I feel that I am about too burst with questions. I love you Moony.

With Love, Harry Potter.'

Harry again examined the letter, and decided it was appropriate, not too long and not too short. Harry stood up, and walked towards Hedwig's cage, and gently stroked his beloved pet awake. Hedwig hooted softly showing that she was awake, and she affectionately nipped his finger. Harry showed her the letters, and instantly she extended her leg. Harry chuckled softly to himself, Hedwig had always been over excited for any job she was offered. He gently tied the letters to her leg, and let her go through the window, that had been open since he had fallen asleep.

He closed it after her, and smiled watching her form fly farther and farther away. Now all he had to do was wait for their reply.


It had been three days since Harry had sent his letters, and he was still anxiously awaiting the arrival of their replies. Harry was currently working on the garden that Petunia valued so much. Sweat was beading his brow, as he tirelessly pulled the weeds. Harry sat back on his haunches, and stared at his handiwork. A smile graced his face seeing the flowers sparkle in the sunlight, free from the grasp of the weeds.

He turned his head skyward when he heard the familiar hoot of his trusted pet. He grinned when he saw the familiar form of Hedwig gliding down towards him. Harry quickly stood up and walked towards a tall elm tree, and sat beneath it. Away from the heat of the day. Harry brought one knee up while the other was still extended, offering Hedwig a perch. Hedwig landed gracefully, and held out her leg where two letters laid. Harry untied the letter from her leg, and put them off to the side, stroking Hedwig with affection.

"You must be tired from your long voyage, aren't you. You did an amazing job girl, I'm proud of you." Harry whispered softly to her, and he could feel her ego growing. Harry chuckled and moved his leg to help Hedwig take off. He watched her fly, until she turned the corner of the house and disappeared. Harry turned to his letters, and grabbed the top one first, with the familiar Gringotts coat of arms, stamped as a seal on the back.

'Dear Mr. Potter,

I have taken a look at the rings you have sent me, and as far as me and a set of others can tell, the rings are real. The Potter family ring was easy to discern because I remember the magic that had radiated off of it, the day I met your Father and his Father.

But, the Cain ring was complicated to say the least, because we Goblins had believed that all the Cain's had died ages ago, and seeing the ring stumped many of us. But, we did diagnostics of the Ring and it is a hundred percent real.

And, I think it would be beneficial too the both of us, that we have a meeting soon. I hope August 15th is available to you, Mr. Potter. Until then, may your gold always flow.

Sincerely, Ragnok

Chief Administrator of Gringotts Wizarding Bank.'

Harry frowned slightly at the line, that said all the Cain members were supposedly dead. But, what could he do about it, but learn why and how it happened. So, Harry filed it in to his mind that he needed to go to Diagon Alley on the date set. He then turned to the other letter, and opened it.

'Harry,

I have been awaiting the day you would get that letter, because it symbolizes the day, you have finally become a man. And, I know you must have so many questions, that I will answer, but I believe you should learn what Ragnok has to say, and I can fill in the holes so to speak. But, Harry I must caution you, once you learn who you really are, there is no turning back.

Even though I wasn't named your God Father Harry, I still see you as my own Pup, and I don't want to see you get hurt. But, I also don't want to force you to do things that you don't want to do, so if you are positive you want to learn who you really are, then I will only warn you, that everything will change once you learn.

I love you Harry, and I hope you can forgive me from keeping this from you for all these years. I will see you on August 30th.

With Love, Remus Lupin.'

Harry wasn't even going to try too figure it out, how Remus knew about Ragnok or his trip to Gringotts in the coming weeks. So he just summed it up too Remus intellect, and his belief that Harry wasn't as gullible as everyone believed. Harry knew that Remus, was probably beating himself, believing that he was made at him. But, Harry knew why Moony and Sirius did it. It was too protect him and it was also his parents wishes. Harry sighed softly, and stood up, heading towards the back door of the house. He passed through the house quietly towards the stairs. He caught a glimpse of his aunt cooking something, and Dudley and his Uncle sitting in the Living Room watching television.

Harry walked up the stairs, and entered his room. Discarding the dirty ones on the floor and quickly putting on fresh ones. He then sat on the edge of his bed. Harry ran his hand tiredly through his hair and exhaled loudly. He leaned forward and put his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands. He didn't understand why everything in his life had too be so complicated. Sure, he was happy that he would finally learn the truth for once, the whole truth. But, that didn't mean that he didn't want a normal life, with normal adventures.

Harry leaned back and let his head fall on his pillow. He stared up at the ceiling his green eyes shining. He knew that everything would change once he learned who he was, and who his mother actually was. He had thought about asking his Aunt but then remembered Filch, the Caretaker of Hogwarts, and quickly changed his mind. He knew how hard it must of been for his Aunt to not have magic, while her younger sister did. And, for that Harry could understand why she was so hard on him, because he had something she could never have.

Harry knew if he were in her shoes that he would have been cold to his mother as well. Harry knew that his Aunt in some way cared for him, he could see it every time she stared in to his eyes. He could see her going back to memories of when she was younger, and he could see regret in her eyes. So, Harry had forgiven his Aunt for what she had done, of course he didn't forgive her entirely but he was trying.

Harry turned his head and stared at the sleeping form of Hedwig, and sighed again. Now all he had to do was wait until August 15th, and he would finally get the answers he had been waiting for.


The days leading up to Harry's trip to Gringotts passed agonisingly slow to Harry. Of course, he tried to keep himself busy, with yard work and exercising. But, nothing had worked so when the day finally came, more or less Harry was grateful. So you could find him stepping out of the Night Bus in front of the Leaky Cauldron. Earlier that morning Harry had packed himself a few days worth of clothes, because he had decided that he wanted too stay at the old pub, Voldemort be damned.

Harry walked through the pub quickly not wanting to draw attention to himself. He stepped into the back alley of the pub and quickly tapped and the required bricks to get into the Alley. Once all the bricks were fully out of the way, Harry stepped into the crowded Diagon Alley. Harry walked down the cobblestone path towards the intimidating building that was Gringotts Bank. He walked up the marble steps quickly and pass the familiar warning and guards. He walked into the chilly front room of the bank, the tellers desk seemingly a wall, cutting off the rest of the bank to prying eyes. He walked to the familiar goblin to his right, and waiting until the goblins dark obsidian eyes looked up. Harry smiled softly at the goblin.

"Hello Griphook. I'm here to see Ragnok." Harry said to the goblin who only nodded his head once, and disappeared. Harry while he was waiting examined the rest of Gringotts main entrance. The walls were a slightly darker shade of white then the floor. Harry looked at the many people coming to and from different door ways of the bank. He thought he saw a flash of red hair but ignored it. He turned when he heard a slight cough come behind him. Griphook was waiting holding open a gate for him to pass through.

Not wanting to make Griphook wait he quickly walked through, and followed the goblin. Harry glanced at the doorways that they passed, and saw different family names on plagues on them. He saw Malfoy, Lestrange, McNair, Crouch, and many others. He noticed that they were all wealthy families that could afford an account manager. Griphook led him towards the end of the hall and stopped at a door that held the name Potter. Griphook opened it and stepped to the side to let Harry through, and once Harry was safely inside, closed it firmly.

Harry glanced around the office. The floors were a beautiful red wood while the desk in the front of the hearth was a dark wood, that Harry wasn't familiar with. The chairs in front of the desk were cushioned with what seemed like leather, while the wood was the same dark wood as the desk. The walls were decorated with tapestries symbolizing the goblins past. It also held different battle weapons, like swords, maces, and broad swords. Harry turned when he heard the door open from behind and saw Ragnok enter the room with Remus.

Harry immediately launched himself into the older man's arms. He heard a chuckle as arms wrapped around him, and couldn't help but smile. "Hello Harry." Remus whispered softly into his ear, and Harry's smiled turned into a grin.

"Moony I thought I wouldn't see you until the 30th." He said pulling back from Remus. Remus simply chuckled a ruffled his hair. Harry stepped back and turned to Ragnok. "Ragnok why are we meeting in here, I thought Griphook was my account manager." Harry said with a frown.

"I believed this would be a more private setting Mr. Potter." The goblin said and walked behind the large desk and sat down. Harry nodded and situated himself in a chair that was in front of the desk, Remus sitting beside him. "Now Mr. Potter we have inspected the rings you have sent us thoroughly, and like I told you a couple of weeks ago they are real." Ragnok continued once they were all comfortable. Harry nodded and waited for the goblin to say more. When he didn't Harry realized he wanted him to talk.

"Can I see them?" He asked and Ragnok nodded he opened a drawer on the desk and pulled out two boxes. He opened both and gently set the two rings side by side. Harry couldn't believe the beauty that the two rings possessed. The Potter family ring was beautiful. The golden band gleamed in the rooms light, the Ruby was as bright red like a beautiful rose breaking through the binds of winter. Harry noticed though on a closer inspection engraved in the center of the ruby there was a beautiful stag curved around a P. Below the P in inky black lettering 'Noli secet altius quam mucrones profuturam.' (A/N; Latin means: "Fear cuts deeper than swords.")

And, sitting beside the Potter Ring sat a delicate silver band shining like moonlight on water. In the middle of the band sat the most beautiful sapphire Harry had ever seen the deep blue velvety stone shined in the hearth's light. Engraved in the sapphire in a beautiful silver picture there was a dragon baring its fangs. Its eyes even though lifeless seemed to shine. Inscribed below the beast in forest green lettering 'Quod intelligendum est de virtute pacis.' (A/N; Latin means: "What must be understood is the power of peace.") Harry couldn't believe that the two rings belonged to him now. He looked up and saw Ragnok inspecting him as if looking for changes.

"Thank you Ragnok for keeping them safe." Harry said softly staring straight back at the the goblin. Ragnok nodded before speaking.

"Now Mr. Potter I believe the discussion about the Cain family is in order." He said and immediately Harry sat straighter, and nodded. "To start off the Cain family is one of the oldest Wizarding Families. The family name became prominent in about 32 B.C. Not many things are recorded on the family, only two members ever made history. Gerald Wallace Cain a famous herbologist who helped make the foundations of a lot of Potions used today. The other was Esmeralda Barnes Cain who was actually one of the first Professors at Hogwarts, I believe she taught Astronomy. Now with that basic introduction out of the way do you have any questions Mr. Potter." Ragnok said staring at him evenly.

"Yes sir I do, one of them is that you said that all the Cain members were dead. What happened to them?" Harry asked with a frown.

"That's a little tricky to say Mr. Potter because there are many tales on how the Cain family seemingly disappeared. One of the more popular ones is that they left to a different country and decided to change their name. Another is that during the first war against the Dark Lord and the war against Grindewald wiped out the rest of the Cain family." Ragnok explained and Harry frowned slightly.

"But do you know what really happened to them?" He asked.

"I believe I do Mr. Potter, but I am not certain. I believe that they had different blood in them, creature blood so to speak. I believe that when they learned of the wars coming they decided to leave and go back to their homelands. Of course, I also believe that some of the members wanted to stay and help fight, which caused many deaths." Ragnok said, and Harry nodded it made sense. Then a thought hit him that caused him to frown.

"So does that mean I have creature blood in me?" He asked.

"I'm not entirely certain since your father didn't have creature blood in him or a lot of it. His blood could be overpowering the creature blood in you, and making you have minimal outside changes. Now maybe your body would change slightly, by becoming more adapt to some diseases or becoming faster for no reason. That could be your creature blood taking place inside of you." Ragnok explained, but Harry couldn't help but think that Ragnok was making it sound like a parasite was living in him.

"What exactly were the Cain Family?" Harry asked slowly, slightly afraid of the answer.

Ragnok seemed to think of this question and Harry waited patiently. He glanced at Remus and saw that he as well looked to be thinking. Finally after a couple of moments of silence Ragnok answered. "I believe that they were either half Veela since some of the members had extraordinary beauty. But, that blood would work side by side with your wizard one. My other guess would be an Elf or Alfar as they like to be called. It would most likely be an Alfar blood lineage. Since for the fact that if one parent wasn't an Alfar it would take longer to become one." Ragnok said and glanced at Remus who nodded. Harry frowned slightly the only elves he could think of were Santa's and he didn't want to become one of those. No offense to Santa.

"What exactly do Alfar look like?" Harry asked hoping that his Santa theory was wrong.

"The Alfar look like you do with five main differences. One, their ears they are pointed but are not as long as ours. Second, their eyes are simply magnificent. They're like precious gems ranging from Ruby Red to Opal. They are also slanted slightly giving them a feline look. Third, is their skin tone they are either beautifully tan or beautifully pale never in between. Fourth, they walk with amazing grace like the ground was meant for them to walk on it. While finally the last thing that is different about them is their height. They are normally tall ranging from 5'8 to 7 feet. But, I must remind you unless you know what an Alfar looks like they can easily slip pass your radar. They are cunning and very intelligent but not in the slightest rude unless provoked." Ragnok explained, and Harry felt his eyes widen. At least one of those things were true about him, as he stared in to his reflection and his emerald eyes stared back. He heard Remus shift and turned his attention to him. It was still slightly hard to not feel guilty around the man after Sirius died, but he was trying.

"Harry I know this must be hard to take in, but I do believe that Lily was at least half Alfar. She never spoke of it, but when I asked her she never disagreed she stayed silent. Ragnok as actually done an amazing job in filling you in on the Cain Family and the Alfar, but there is one more thing you need to know." Remus said staring deeply into his eyes.

"What is it Remus?" Harry asked fearful for the answer.

"On their Sixteenth birthday that is a symbol for Alfar males becoming men, and since you have already turned Sixteen that means you will start transforming. And, I believe since James blood is blocking your transformation you will start to get ill, very ill. And, I don't want to see that happen." Remus said worry shining in his eyes.

"So what does that mean for me?" Harry asked.

Remus took a deep inhale before replying. "I know a man that is friends with the Alfar and I believe he can help us in finding them." Remus responded staring at him. Harry frowned slightly again.

"But what does that mean Moony?" Harry asked again.

Remus finally seemed to fully look at him not just stare. "It means Harry that you will finally meet your family."


A/N; I'm sorry if this is a little cliché with Harry being an Elf or Part elf. I also want to apologize for making it seem like a theory then it actually being true. Well Harry doesn't know for a fact if he is an Alfar but he'll go through some things that will most likely change his mind.

I'm also sorry for not updating quicker. I am also thinking of pairing Harry with a OC. But, despite all the cliché things I hope you liked the Chapter.
