Chapter two : More Discoveries & a Bit of Fun for Everyone

Okay now, thank you for all of those lovely reviews, and so here is the next chappie for everyone. Reminder to one and all, this is a Harry and Edward story so if no likey then don't read. I am no longer going to repeat this in future chappies. Oh, and promise to review after reading!!! Oh and Harry and Hermione will be going by the names Alex and Aries. Remus will also be known as Uncle Malachi. For now while they are in Diagon Alley. But in later chapters, after their trip through Diagon Alley, I will be referring to them as before the disguises.

The day was sunny and you can tell that everything was completely different here. It wasn't the shops themselves or the way the people bustle around the alley, or even the objects themselves as they wait for the one who will someday buy them off the old dusty shelves. The one thing that has changed the most that the group noticed, was the people themselves. The war seemed to affect everyone near and far for what it seemed to Harry.

"Aries, is it me or does something feel different to you?"

"I feel it too, it's probably something to do with everyone in here, they almost seem different. Uncle Malachi, do you know why the people here seem so different?"

"Well Aries, it's the war that has affected everyone so much that they seem different to how they were before it ended for sure. Many people, especially people of your young generation have seen things that they wish to have never seen or have witnessed things that they wish they had not have witnessed. Some even experienced things that they wished that they have never, ever experienced. Remember what you all have gone through, especially you Alex. I really don't want to bring back any bad experiences, so I won't go anywhere near being specific. But you are one who has dealt with the biggest burdens here in your generation, like the time of when you were captured." Explained Malachi to them.

Alex couldn't stop the memories from resurfacing into his mind. When he had been captured by the Death Eaters, Voldemort was one of the really bad ones. Alex hung his head as he felt his shame begin to conquer him. But before it could, Aries placed her hand on his arm.

"Alex, please don't even think about feeling ashamed of yourself. There was nothing you could have done. Hell, Alex it was a miracle that you were able to even make it out there still alive and not even insane. Please Alex, at least do that for me," pleaded Aries.

Alex saw tears threatening to spill down from Aries's eyes.

"Please don't cry Aries, please. I'm sorry that even showed you. If I hadn't showed you at all then you wouldn't be suffering right now,"

"Alex, don't you say that because I don't regret you showing me at all. Alex you've showed me that you are the strongest person out there who hadn't had a single person's support to help you. I chose to help you on my own free will so don't regret it. Don't regret because I don't so please." Aries wiped away the tears that were beginning to fall.

Alex hated seeing his sister be engulfed in such pain,

"Please don't cry anymore Aries," Alex pulled her into a hug for a moment. Aries held onto him and cried on his shoulder.

"What's wrong Aries? Alex what's going on here?" Asked Bill when he noticed that both Aries and Alex stopped walking not that long ago and that Aries was now crying onto Alex's shoulder.

"Alex, Aries, what happened, cub what happened?" Asked their Uncle Malachi.

Fleur placed a hand on Aries's shoulder for support.

"Don't you two understand? She is crying because of all that they've gone through during the war," said Fleur.

"How do you know that honey?"

"Because, they felt it too,"

"Felt what?" Malachi asked this time.

"Didn't you feel the change when we walked in? The difference that only is felt when after the end of a war?" Asked Fleur.

Both Malachi and Bill suddenly understood what she meant now and it dawned also that it must have been what Aries knew about Alex that others didn't know. And what Aries knows was made confidential between the both of them before Aries helped Alex with his Occlumency. Malachi walked to Alex's side and placed a hand on Alex's shoulder, and then his other hand on Aries's hand.

"Come on you two, it's best if we deal with this somewhere not so public so that we don't draw any unwanted attention," said their Uncle Malachi.

Aries nodded from her brother's shoulder, and looked up to see Alex's eyes. Alex looked at his sister with pure worry and love.

"Aries, are you okay?"

"I'm fine Alex, let's go deal with our business in Gringotts,"

"You're sure that you'll be up to it?"

"I've been able to deal helping you with Occlumency, fighting against dear old Tommy boy, and today finding out truths that were unknown until today. I can deal with this," she finalized.

Alex nodded as he understood that she wouldn't be leaving him anytime soon, so with a small smile Alex took hold of his sister's hand.

"Alright Bill, Fleur, Uncle Malachi, we're ready to go to Gringotts now," Alex said with a determined glint in his eyes and a small smile gracing his face.

The others understood and continued on their way to the wizard bank.

It soon didn't take long and were now in front of the large bank. Alex was nervous because of what happened the last time he was here in the wizard bank. He had to steal the Goblet of Helga Hufflepuff, the goblins didn't want to give the goblet to him because it belonged to the vault of one, now dead, Bellatrix Lestrange. Aries squeezed his hand gently as she knew why he was nervous to enter said bank. Alex turned to his sister and with only his eyes, thanked her. The small group entered the building, unaware of what will be told, said and done when they entered.

When they entered, Aries, Alex and Malachi removed their disguises and were now once again Harry, Hermione, and Remus.(From now on, no more Alex which is Harry in disguise, Aries which is Hermione in disguise, and Uncle Malachi which is Remus.) Seeing that no attacks, no shouting or anything about what they did, they walked forward to the teller ahead of them near the end of the entrance hall of Gringotts. The goblins looked up once in a while, but nothing happened. Harry relaxed finally. The group were now at the teller,

"Pardon me sir," said Harry politely.

The goblin's head immediately shot up when he heard the polite voice towards him. When he saw who it was, he was even more surprised that someone like Harry Potter could ever be polite to goblins.

"Yes Mr. Potter?"

"I would like to see any information involving my vault,"

"And which one would you like to be informed of Mr. Potter?"

"What do you mean which one? I only have one vault, don't I?" Asked Harry, unsure of the answer that the Goblin would be giving him.

Said Goblin was surprised by the question.

"You mean that you only know about your trust vault?"

"So then that means I have more than just the vault I'm always going to for Hogwarts,"

"Mr. Potter, didn't you receive any letters referring to your inheritances or any other vault testaments or account papers?"

"I haven't received any letters from here except for the one telling me that I was to attend Sirius's will, but Dumbledore said that it was too dangerous for me to leave my aunt's house. He said that it was okay that I didn't go because I was to have some more time to morn over the death of my Godfather. What's going on here?" Asked Harry, now who was beginning to feel that there was more to Dumbledore than there was to believe in.

"Harry," said Bill. "What do you mean that you didn't show up for the will reading. I was there when the will was to be read and I saw you come in with Dumbledore." Harry's eyes went wide.

"I never left my aunts house Bill, I was there all summer," anger began to show itself in Harry's eyes.

The Goblin seemed as though he was ready to kill.

"Mr. Potter, if what you say is true, then Dumbledore has a lot to explain for committing embezzlement, bringing in an impostor for the will reading of one Sirius Orion Black," said the Goblin with a fire in his eyes.

The entire group was surprised and yet angered by what was to be found out so far.

"Mr. Potter, I will send a message so that you will be able to meet Graylag so that you can learn everything about your vaults and properties and maybe a bit about yourself."

"Properties? I have properties. Oh God, what else has that evil bastard been keeping from me," said Harry in shock.

Hermione was also shocked that Dumbledore would keep such things away from Harry. Bill was disappointed at his mentor, Fleur was upset that Harry has yet to finally live in peace and happiness for once in his life, and Remus was completely angered, yet had kept himself controlled, at the fact that Dumbledore would manipulate Harry as much as he had done so far that has been revealed. The Goblin shook his head as the young man in front of him basically knew nothing about himself.

"Mr. Weasley, you know where to find Graylag,"

"Of course sir," Bill lead them away to Graylag's office where they will find out more than they had ever expected to find out through out their lives.

As they all followed Bill, their thought were scattering with thoughts, ideas, and memories. Though, their thoughts didn't last long as Bill knocked on a wooden door with Graylag written with a fancy lettering on it.

"Enter," a rough goblin like voice said from inside of the room.

Bill opened the door and everyone followed him inside.

"Good afternoon Graylag, teller Marceline told me to show them since I am with group today. Harry here wants to get answers about several things, especially since he doesn't know that he has more than one vault and that he owns properties,"

"Is that so Mr. Potter?" Asked Graylag, Harry stepped forward.

"I thought that I only had one vault here sir, Dumbledore hasn't told me anything about myself except a little about my parents. What do I have sir?" Asked Harry, thinking that he was never to have peace in his life.

"Mr. Potter, there is one thing that I have to ask. How come you still have the same power levels as before? You should have come into your inheritance already when you turned sixteen," said Graylag.

"What inheritance? What was suppose to happen on my birthday?"

"Oh dear, this is going to take long. You know what I mean when someone receives an inheritance on ones birthday right?"

"Yeah, I know that. On ones sixteenth birthday the said person receives any magical strength, powers, or gifts that is passed down ones family blood. That and they reach their magical maturity that day also. Plus, they are also left in charge of their family if they are the oldest heir, or the only heir of that person's family that is eligible to become head of their family,"

"That is correct Mr. Potter, yet you haven't changed at all as you should have when on your sixteenth birthday,"

"Hmm, Graylag, is it possible that he placed any blocks on Harry's magic so that Harry couldn't over power him in anyway, and that that is the reason why Harry barely knows anything about himself?" Asked Hermione.

"Hmm, well Ms. Granger, you might be right about that theory. I shall check so now if Mr. Potter allows me to do so," said Graylag.

All Harry could do was nod his head as he was to speechless at the moment to actually talk. Graylag pulled out a blank parchment, then he waved his hand at Harry. Harry felt a strange current of magic try to enter him and figured since it meant no harm, let it go through him. Graylag then waved his hand over the parchment and writing began to show itself on the parchment. When a little while passed by, and the writing had stopped, Graylag grabbed the paper and began to read. Soon as he began to read he gasped.

"I have a feeling that you all will not be very happy about the list. Listen to the list and then I will see what we can do about this:

Magical Blocks on Harry J. Potter

Animagi block

Metamorphagus block

Power Restriction block

Natural Healing block

Beast Speaker block

Natural Occlumence block

Elemental block

Creature Blood block

Multi lingual block."

There was complete silence in the room. If you wanted to, you could have dropped a needle, and it would sound loud and clear through out the room for how quiet. It stayed like that for a while,

"When can the blocks be removed," said Harry in a small voice that sounded rather loud and clear, even though it was said in almost a hushed tone.

"As soon as you want them to be removed, but they have to be removed one at a time instead of doing it one after the other,"

"Is there more that I should know about?"

"Other than the fact that you have many properties and are rich because of both Black and Potter families fortune,"

"Is there a blood heritage I can do, to know my history?"

"Yes there is, but which would you like to do first?"

"I need to remove the blocks now, so I would like to start with the removal of all the blocks that I presume came from one, Albus Dumbledore," said Harry, his voice was calm instead of angered which made those around him feel a bit nervous, Bill, Fleur and Hermione thinking that this is probably the calm before the storm.

"Very well Mr. Potter, will you please stand in the middle of the ring there," said Graylag as he stood from his place and walked over to the circle. The others followed also to see, all outside of the circle except for Harry whom stood in the very middle.

"Let me know when you are ready Mr. Potter,"

"Please, call me Harry sir,"

"Then I shall ask for you to call me Graylag"

"Very well Graylag, I'm ready now,"

"ΣAufero clausus ut is may compello unus quod totus!Σ" said Graylag.

Suddenly Harry was screaming, but quickly shut his mouth as pain began to spread around him. Hermione was about to help, but was held back by Remus,

"You can't do anything for him cub, I'm sorry sweetie but his pain can not be taken away since the block has been on him for so long apparently. Mione, when a block is on someone for a long while, like years, it hurts them when the block is removed,"

"Oh Remmy," said Hermione as she began to cry quiet tears.

Remus held on to his little girl cub, and closed his eyes as he couldn't bare to see his little boy cub in pain and not be able to do something about it. Soon Harry's muffled screams stopped,

-Harry, how are you faring?-

-Sorry but I don't speak Goblin Graylag, wait. Oh shit I am speaking Goblin!- Exclaimed Harry in Goblin.

"Uh, Harry what in the world were you speaking?" Asked Hermione.

"Shit, Harry you were speaking Goblin," there was silence when Bill said that.

"Yup, well at least now I can translate anything for you now," said Harry a bit sheepishly.

They couldn't help but laugh about it since it was true, but the way Harry had put it sounded funny. Harry felt a headache come to him, and placed both hands on his head to still his head that felt as though it was spinning.

"Want a headache and pain reliever potion Harry?"

"Yes please," Harry said as he sat down on the ground.

Hermione walked over to Harry with two vials in her hand and uncorked them before she handed them to Harry. Everyone took a breath in order to calm down from the sudden scare of Harry muffling his own screams. Remus walked over to Harry before Graylag could say anything about continuing with the eliminations of the blocks,

"Hey there cub,"

"Hey Moony,"

"You nervous?"

"Yeah, but I should get over it. Besides, even though the biggest threat in the world is gone, I still have to be strong,"

"Harry, you don't always have to be strong you know. Sometimes people have to let others that they trust take care of them,"

"I know Moony, but I just feel that even though I have someone to trust in, I can't let myself be taken care of for some reason, "

"Well then how about this, when we are through here, and we have a place to go to that you haven't even been heard of, you let me and Mione take care of you. And then, we can get Teddy from his hiding with Melody and her clan so that Teddy can grow up with his family,"

"You're right Moony, we should really get Teddy soon before anyone finds out about Melody and her clan," said Harry.

Graylag walks up to Harry,

"Harry, are you ready to get rid of another of your blocks?"

"Yes Graylag, I am," and Harry and Remus both stood as Graylag walked back outside of the circle.

"Good luck cub," said Remus before he walked outside of the circle and held on to Hermione.

Harry nodded towards Graylag so that he can begin with the next unblocking.

"ΣSolvo suus potestas imgravesco on bestia!Σ" once again everyone could here Harry keeping his screams muffled.

Once almost a minute passed by, Harry was weak, but held himself up. He looked back up at Graylag and nodded. At first Graylag thought that he was crazy, but then understood that he just wanted to get over with the pain instead of taking a lot of breaks, before once again feeling as though they almost experienced the cruciatus curse, and so did the next spell,

"ΣAufero clausus quod reverto donum protego mens!Σ" The pain hurt him, but mostly hurt his head as the spell this time was for his ability to have his ability to be a natural Occlumens.

Harry dropped to the floor, but was able to hold himself up. Hermione got out of Remus's hold and ran over to Harry.

"Harry, hear this is another pain relieving potion," said Hermione before Harry took it and swallowed it whole.

When he did the pain all over him disappeared, and then Harry hugged Hermione when he noticed that her eyes were watery.

"Mione, I know that you're upset with this, but you also need to know that everyone has to go through a little pain once in a while because that's how we have to go through in order for us to go to the next things that have to happen," Harry sighed and wiped away her tears as they began to fall.

"How can you say that Harry, and besides, you know how I feel about it when I see you in pain and I can't do nothing to make you feel better,"

"Mione, you worrying makes me happy and feel better because you know how there was no one who actually cared about me, what I feel about something, or if I'm okay with a decision. That all changed when I found you out first, that you really cared, and then Moony, and now Bill and Fleur," and Harry pulled her back into a hug.

Hermione remembered a lot of how Harry grew up and couldn't believe that someone could endure all that he did and yet be so thoughtful, brave, and pure at heart. Hermione thought that ever since Harry accepted her and helped him with his Occlumency that she would do all she could to help him have a better life. Now that she knew about Harry, she couldn't help but be over protective of him when in a little pain.

"Alright Mione, look if you don't want to be here I'll understand, because I don't want to see you get hurt,"

"Harry, how can you even think like that. You're the one in pain because of the stupid blocks and yet you don't want to see me get hurt? How in the world did you ever grow with such a good heart after being so hurt for all these years I'll never know,"

"Come on now Mione, we need to remove at least three to four more blocks before this is over,"

"Okay Harry," and Hermione stood up and walked over to Remus who opened his arms to her.

Harry watched with a smile as he saw his sister and uncle hold each other while they wait for him. It made him really happy and glad that there were still people there for him.

"Are you ready Harry?"

"Of course, but can you do the last four one after the other, I can take it. I want to get this over with so please?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure Graylag," they both nodded before Graylag lifted his hands.

"ΣSolvo suus potestas of rectus coratio! Solvo potestas muto suus vultus! Aufero clausus quod reverto donum protego mens! Solvo ut him suus vox super elementum!Σ" The room suddenly filled with Harry's screams.

Fleur and Hermione were about to run to Harry, but were held back by Bill and Remus who also wanted to help him, but couldn't because there was nothing they could do at all. It seemed as though it went on for hours, hearing the screams of Harry and Harry himself being under such pain that felt worse than the cruciatus curse. Finally the screams were over, and Harry not being able to even stay up was unconscious.

After what felt like hours of rest, Harry finally woke up, his body still felt a bit sore, but was better than what he felt like before he fell unconscious.

"Hey you guys, what's shakin'?" He said.

But he almost regretted saying anything when he was engulfed in a bone-crushing hug by both Hermione and Fleur.

"Oh Harry we were so worried about you! Don't you ever scare me like that again you," said Hermione as her tears were flowing freely which made Harry feel bad about his decision.

"Oh 'Arry, don't you dare do what you did again! You nearly scared us all to death!" Said Fleur, her blue eyes also filled with tears.

"Can't breath," said Harry, almost suffocated.

As soon as that was said, he was immediately released, and his face turned from the almost blue from lack of oxygen, to a flushed red as his blood and oxygen flowed through him.

"I'm sorry," they both said as they quickly wiped their tears away and were nervous on what to do.

After Harry had his breathing back in control and his color was returning back to its natural shades, he told them

"No, I should be the one to apologize. I didn't mean to scare you all the way I did,"

"Just promise us all one thing Harry," said Bill,

"And what's that Bill?"

"That you won't scare the shit out of us," said Bill.

They all agreed to that. Harry couldn't help the chuckle that came out. He shook his head before asking Graylag how long had he been out.

"Well Harry, you've only been out for half an hour,"

"Seriously?" And when he nodded Harry sighed.

"Wow, it felt as though I've been asleep for hours,"

"It must be your healing abilities," and Harry nodded.

"Oh, do you want to see how you look?"

"How I look?"

"Don't you feel at all different Harry?" Asked Remus.

"No, I don't," Graylag made a mirror appear.

"Take a look," said Graylag.

Harry stood up from what he noticed was a stool. He closed his eyes when he walked up to the mirror. He took a deep breath before he opened his eyes. When he opened them he was shocked at how different he appeared. His skin almost seemed to glow, his eyes were more green than before, his ears pointed, fangs in his mouth, and wings that were white, their tips were in different shades of red, yellow, blue, green, and grayish silver. Without knowing until it happened, he made his wings open wide. There were gasps when it happened. He turned around to see everyone standing there with their eyes opened as though they were about to come out of their eye sockets.

"Is that even you Harry?" Came out of Hermione.

"Do I look that bad?" He asked.

"Try the opposite Harry," said Bill,

"Merlin's beard!" Finally came from Remus.

"If this happened because of Merlin's Beard then when I see Merlin himself, remind me to thank him and his beard," said Harry that made them laugh.

"Well, at least you haven't changed in the inside," Remus told him with a fond smile.

"'Arry, do you know if your family has any Elvin blood? I heard that there are some Elves that have wings are very powerful, but are very rare,"

"Does that explain why I have fangs?" Harry said as he bared his teeth for everyone to see.

"No, maybe in your family there must have been a vampire also,"

"Hmm, Harry do you mind if I do a check of your blood to see your family history? I have the potion and at the same time I can also show you all of your abilities on another sheet," asked Graylag.

Harry didn't need to think as he immediately agreed as he also wanted to know his history as well.

"How about some lunch?" Asked Graylag.

They all agreed to the suggestion.

"Meril!" Shouted out Graylag as made two potion vials appear.

Soon two pieces of parchment appeared as another goblin walked through the door.

"Yes Graylag sir,"

"Please bring up some lunch for us all here?"

"Yes Graylag sir," and soon the goblin named Meril walked out the room.

Everyone sat down except for Harry as he went back to the mirror to see if he could change back to his appearance. Harry decided to first fold his wings back before he started to do anything serious to his appearance.

"Hmm, well since I am a metamorphagus, I could change a few things," Harry thought out loud to himself.

Harry began to ponder to himself about any changes that he'd like to do. First he closed his eyes and began to think that if he was to go soon that he'd need to hide his wings so he willed his wings to fold into his back so that no one could see them. When he opened his eyes the wings were no longer there, 'Wow,' he thought, 'if I can do this this easily then I could fly and not be caught!' and then he smiled. 'I need to get rid of these fangs, and then since I can change appearances, I could possibly get rid of this scar,' finalized Harry. He began to think of the fangs no longer showing themselves, and then soon when he bared his teeth, they were no longer there. Harry nodded with satisfaction. Then he began to think of his scar no longer being there, and soon his scar seemed to seal itself until it was no longer there. He began to practice by changing more his appearance so that later on it can come more easily for him. Soon Harry was done when he had his hair short, spiked around with silver tips, his eyes were back to the normal shocking green that they were, his scar was gone, he had no glasses on after he fixed them himself, and had on a pair of black business slacks and a red blouse after he did some transfiguration with his cloths.

"Hey Mione, how do I look?" Called Harry from the mirror.

Hermione looked up and was shocked at how different Harry appeared now from the angelic look he had before.

"Wow Harry, you lookin' good! Remmy, look at Harry," Remus then looked up at Harry.

Once again he was dumbfounded. Harry seemed very handsome, yet normal and happy with his look.

"Wow, I guess we should be glad that you're a lot stronger than what we thought you were. Just, try not to show off the silent and wandless so much okay cub?"

"No problem Moony, hey Fleur what do you think, should I change anything?"

"No 'Arry, well at least change the color of your blouse from red to at least a sky blue, that way the colors that you 'ave will go well together. And to sort of explain, since your hair is dark and your eyes are light, your cloths that you have on are sort of doing the same thing so since your pants are black, 'ow about putting your shirt a light color then,"

"Oh, thanks Fleur. Hmm, what if I just wanted to wear dark colors?"

"Well then you should try so that they match your eyes so that your eyes can 'ave a nice pop out affect so that you will look well. But if you wear blues, or wines like that dark, then just make sure that they're dark, that way it doesn't clash or look so bad."

"Oh, I didn't know that, thanks Fleur. Oh, Fleur, Mione. Will you two help with my cloths shopping? I never went shopping for cloths so I need some advise, and since we're going someplace new, I want to always look my best. But for sure we will have to go somewhere small and quiet so that no one will find us. What do you think Moony?"

"Well, I was thinking that to make sure that the town has a tribe or a group of werewolves or people who shape-shift into wolves so that they can help me with my furry problem. What do you think Bill?"

"Well since the town is a small one, so that no one can find us, then we should make sure that our property there has plenty of untraceable wards, and plenty of other wards so that no other wizards that we don't want finding us will be able to,"

"Well I can do that if you show me Bill, but maybe the goblins should do them. I mean after all the goblins magic is something that normal wizards can't break through unless they use goblin magic themselves which can't be very possible because goblins don't teach wizards about their magic unless they are trustworthy. So other than that, what do you think Fleur?"

"Hmm, well since the place is going to be protected from wizards that we don't want finding us, I guess the only thing that needs worrying about it that there is enough space so that we and little Teddy can live, other than that, nothing else,"

"Alright, what about you Mione?"

"Well since we'll be well protected, there's going to be plenty of space for all of us, and that Remmy will be okay on the full moon, there isn't much, well other than the fact that we go to High School there. I mean it would be awkward for the two of us living there and not go to the school there,"

"True. Is there anything else that we're missing?" No one said anything. "Hmm, I don't know about you guys, but I want to make sure that none of you have any blocks, tracing charms, or memory blocks. Graylag, can you check if any of us is missing any memories, have any charms, and if they have any block on their magic or abilities?"

"Of course Harry, but first let's settle for lunch and first check with what you have and your family."

Whoa, long time writing this. Well I hope you all like this because I've had a lot of thinking and a lot of time doing this chappie for all of those who are reading this. For now, aurovoir.
