CHAPTER 2: THE READING OF THE WILLS
Harry was under a black cloak on his way to Gringotts. Dobby was excited to "Help the great Harry Potter, sir, because the great Harry Potter helped Dobby". And because it was Tonks and not Moody on duty today he knew nobody would know he left the house.
He arrived at Gringotts, told Dobby he would call him when he finished and entered the building. Then he asked for the manager. He waited on a fancy looking office for five minutes until an important looking gobbling arrived.
- Mr. Potter, welcome. I'm sorry for the wait.
- Don't worry, Ragnuk. I understand.
- Yes, well shall we proceed?
Harry took a deep breath. –Yes, I think that's for best.
- Very well, Mr. Potter. Normally I would read the will out loud but as you are the only one mentioned here I think it would be better y you read it yourself. Here
Harry looked at the parchment not knowing if he was strong enough to read it. Then with a rush of determination began reading.

Harry looked up and saw that Ragnuk was handing him an envelope with the Black Crest and with his name on the outside just under a drawing of Padfoot. He opened it and read:
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Dear pup,
If you are reading this it means that I went and got myself killed. Oh well. I hope I went fighting. But let's not talk about that ok? Anyway there's something important and serious (wink) that I need to tell you. You see before you were born there was a prophecy made but I can't tell you it because I don't know it. Dumbledore told me he was going to tell you. If he didn't don't read the following paragraph and just wait till he tells you. If he did I just can tell you that we each draw our own destiny. Don't let anybody tell you what to do. It's your life and yours alone. Don't trust blindly on Dumbledore 'couse even he makes mistakes. I wanted to tell you the prophecy since the end of your fourth year but the old man put a memory charm on me so I don't remember it. But enough of that.
Hey I enclosed a copy of your parents Will. Know that the Potters and the Blacks are of the 5 richest families on England. So now you have the Potter and Black estate. It makes you the richest young man on England! Enjoy it pup. Rub it on Malfoy's face.(please pretty please) Buy a new wardrobe .Make Moony buy a new wardrobe even if you have to drag him to the stores. Buy a Firebolt 200, I heard its even fastest than yours! Buy it, pup, for me (insert puppy dog eyes here). Become an Animagi , prank, restore the marauders, make McGonagall scream and Snape cry. (you can do that charming his hair to wash itself J) Win the Quidditch cup and the house cup. Enjoy life Harry. Oh and about the animagus transformation Im sure you will find everything you need on the marauder's Map. You see, when we made the map we said we'll give it to our heirs. And a marauder is not a marauder without being an animagi (except Mooney but you know) so you just have to tap the map and say "I want to become a full marauder" and the potion will be on your hand. You drink the potion and it shows your animal. Don't worry the potion has a preservative charm on it so you can use it an it will work. The information to the transformation is in the library of Potter Castle.
Other thing our dear headmasters forbid me to tell to was that you don't have to stay with the Dursleys. You see all that crap about about the "blood wards" and bla bla bla its jus an excuse. You can stay at the Potter Castle. I would tell you more about it but Im sure your father wrote about it on his letter to you and it is on your parents will.
So, if you sign the emancipation papers and make the spell to make your magic undetectable (tap the marauders map and say " I solemnly swear I will use my magic to no good" and it will show you how to do it )until your sixteen b/day and you will be free! I know I know I'm best godfather ever.(grin) J
I have to say goobye pup. I love you very much . I want you to know that your mum and dad loved you very much too and that Mooney loves you too. Trust him. I love you. Enjoy life, enjoy quidditch, prank Snape and remember: Potter men always fell for redheads. I know you fancy her. Just tell her coughGinnycough. And she likes you too and not for just a silly crush (insert wink here). Well, Mischief Managed.
Seriously, (yeah right)
Sirius
PS. If you're wondering why the hell I didn't tell you this before, blame Dumbledore. That man is too manipulative for his own good.
PSS. The thing about making Snape's hair wash itself was serious. Please prank him many many times but make this one say: in Padfoot's memory or something. I want the credit for that one.

Harry laughed at the end of the letter. Of course he was going to follow the marauder's path; he had been thinking to do that for some time now. With the Twins gone someone had to keep people laughing. He re-read it and stopped at the part when Sirius explained that he didn't have to stay with the Dursleys. He was so mad at Dumbledore. The old man knew. And he didn't let Harry go and live there. Harry was furious with the headmaster. But he couldn't do anything about it right now so he asked Ragnuk for his parent's will.

Harry looked up amazed that he could have so much wealth. Gryffindor Vault? Ravenclaw Vault? He had so many questions. He then realized that Ragnuk was handing him two envelopes. Both of them had the Potter Crest (*) but one had a lily on the back of the envelope and the other had a stag. It was their personal mark. He then opened the one with the lily.

My Dearest Harry,
I fear that if you are reading this it means that your father and I are dead and that Peter betrayed us. I hope that you grew up happy and loved, but I know Sirius very well and he would go after Wormtail the moment he knew of our deaths. I hope, for your sake and Sirius' that I'm wrong. But enough of that. The past is the past and what happened before doesn't matter. I only have something to tell you about this Harry and it is: choose your friends and allies carefully and ask yourself many times if you can trust them with your life and your loved ones lives.
Well let's talk about you. I hope you are a well mannered polite young man. I hope and pray that you aren't a rule breaker, but with a father and a godfather like yours I'm not so hopeful. Just know your limit and don't cross the line between safe rule breaking and bullying like your father almost did. I love your father with all my heart but he was a prat when younger. Thankfully he grew up and I found out what a wonderful man he is and you should be proud of being his son.
My child, I know that by now Sirius have told you the prophecy. Be strong, my love. I know in my heart that everything is going to end right for you. Your father and I think we know what the power that the Dark Lord knows not is. You see, sweetheart, many, many years ago Lord Gryffindor and Lady Ravenclaw had a baby. A beautiful red-haired baby girl named Alexandrea Gryffindor. But she isn't on the history yet. You see, Godric was the las founder alive: he killed Salazar after he betrayed them and left Hogwarts. Helga died when a spell went wrong and Rowena was murdered saving her daughter when the son of Salazar went after Miss Gryffindor. So Godric was left with nothing but Hogwarts and Alexandrea. However, Alexandrea fell in love with a powerful and rich wizard of that time: Marcus Potter. So Alexandrea married him. One day the son of Salazar remembered the only victim that escaped his wrath: Alexandrea Gryffindor-Potter. The young Slytherin heir was obsessed with immortality, just like Voldemort. Godric knew he wasn't the one that should fight this young Slytherin; his battle had been with Salazar. He knew his daughter; his beautiful and powerful baby girl had to fight him and win. But he, like any other parent, worried. So he came with a solution. Rowena had a diadem that contained all her knowledge, but Lady Ravenclaw wasn't a fighter. Oh, she could fight but the soldier was always Godric. So he took diadem and took all his knowledge and put them together on a ring that had a ruby with the Gryffindor crest on it. He then gave it to Alexandrea, who gained the knowledge of both her parents and won her battle easily. She killed her enemy but his son escaped at the last moment. The day after the final battle, the Sorting Hat, who received from Rowena the gift of vision (Ravenclaw was a true Seer) made the next prophecy to Godric:
When there were four
only one is left.
The traitor trained
his son his ways.
Though now everything is right
listen well and don't forget.
In many, many years to come,
the snake wont attack once more
but when the pure blood line taint itself,
with mud or so they will say
a Dark Era shall then begin
But in the Darkness, a Chosen One
son of the Flower and the Stag
will need the power
that lies on your hand
So listen now and do as I say,
because if not, The One shall fail
The power that a red stone contain,
the one you just used to prevail,
shall pass generations: from father to son,
until The One puts it on.
Then he will know
but will have to train
because in his hands
the future lays.
The rest of the prophecy was lost with time but the sorting hat assured us that only this part was needed for you to know what to expect, my son. We know it's you because Voldemort is a half-blood and heir of Slytherin, and with his birth a Dark Era begun.
The Ring of Gryffindor lies on the Gryffindor Vault. Every Potter man has tried it on their eleven but it hadn't worked. I'm sure that the ring will work for you, sweetheart.
. Now listen, my child to this prophecy, the Hat made it to me one day when I was waiting for the headmaster in his office:
The Chosen One,
nightmare of the Dark.
Alone and lost he shall fail.
But with the knowledge
an Army he'll begin
he will train them and their friendships win.
But there are three that he will need
by his side to prevail.
The one his heart belongs to,
a reason to fight will provide
his guide when he doesn't know where to go
the one that always bring him home
The one he looks when he asks,
his sister in everything but law,
even though blood they don't share,
she has a place on his heart.
The one he trust above all,
the one that is his right hand
his best friend on ups and downs
his first best general.
Together they will train and fight
side by side
hand and hand
because if there's no Golden Four
the Chosen One will be lost.
So you see my love, there are three people that will help you on your quest. But is enough of that. You will know what to do when the time comes.
Lets talk about something else. Potter Castle. I know Albus will try to keep you from living there because he isn't on the guest list. You see we don't agree on the way he manipulates everything, so we didn't tell him where our houses are or that the Potters are descendants of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. But well. Potter Castle is as protected as Hogwarts. You can go there by a portkey that we left on the Potter Vault. Only say "Once a Potter, Always a Potter" and you will be on the Entrance Hall of the Potter Castle. Then the House Elves can explain everything about the wards and how to accept someone on the Castle to you.
I wish I was there to see as you became a wonderful young man I have no doubt you are today. I Love you, Harry. Enjoy life. Don't let the war dictate your life. Be strong. Fall in love and be happy.
I will always love you with all my heart,
Your mother,
Lily Rose Potter

Harry stared at the letter on his hands with a tornado of thoughts. Another prophecy? Heir of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw? The Army sure is the DA…I'm changing the name to Hogwarts Army. It fits better. Wow. I have to find the Ring as soon as I'm done here. With that last thought he opened the letter that had a stag just over his name.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I solemnly swear I'm up to no good.
Hey son!
I know what happened if you're reading this, and you know what happened so let's not talk about it.
Ok. Let's get into business: PRANKS
You are my son, Padfoot's godson so you have to be a marauder. I bet Siri already told you about the map and the animagi revelo potion. Great. So, now into pranks. In my vault there is a diary with the marauder crest on it. It's the MARAUDER GUIDE FOR LIFE. It haves the Rules, every single prank we played, as a group or individual. How we made the map. Animagi tips, everything! But only Marauders can read it. You have to initiate your friends before showing it to them. You can read it because you are the Heir and the Alpha by blood. Take care of your Pack, Harry. Friends like that are for life.
Other Marauder secret is the Marauders' Hideout. You have to activate the map and the tap it saying: show me our quarters. Its one of the many rooms we found during our Hogwarts years. I think it was once a Guest Room, but when we got there it seemed that it had years without use. It have four bedrooms with private bathrooms, a common room, your own library that has the same enchantments of the one at Potter's Castle (Mooney's idea), a Prank Room with a Potions lab and a huge Marauders' Map and a Practice Room that is self updating with all the new muggle exercise machine , a dueling platform and instructions to create practice dummies. You and your fellow Marauder's can live there and feel free to decorate as you please.
Ok. Onto other things. You see, the Potter line are the only descendants of Gryffindor (and Ravenclaw, but when she married Godric she became a Gryffindor), and Hufflepuff never had children. When Slytherin betrayed the other three founders he lost all his rights as founder of Hogwarts. What I'm trying to say is that you are the last descendant of the founders. That means you are the Heir of Hogwarts. When you become of age (if Padfoot gave you the option to emancipate it would be on your 16 birthday) your title will be: Lord Harry James Potter of Hogwarts or just Lord Potter or Lord Hogwarts or Lord Gryffindor. I know its tiring all the titles. But, well. You will claim your right as Heir of Hogwarts when you put Gryffindor's Ring on.
About the castle on Scotland that it's mentioned on our Will, I think that by now you know that we were talking about Hogwarts. I know. When I found out that I owned Hogwarts I almost fainted. That means you can go though the wards. Meaning: YOU can apparete(?) and dissaparete(?) on Hogwarts. I know, cool huh? Ok there are a lot of other things but you would understand better after you put the Ring on.
I think that's all for now. Remember to take the Guide. And write on it too. And tell your fellow Marauders to write in there too. Ok. Prank Slytherins, play Quidditch, prank Slytherins, get loads of detentions, prank Slytherins, use the invisibility cloak to sneak out at night, prank the whole school, become animagi and help Mooney on that time of the month (grin), prank your enemies, fell in love with a beautiful redhead, please prank Slytherins, do well on your exams (roll of eyes, that was Lily's idea), Enjoy life, smile, laugh and have fun. And remember: trust your Marauder Uncles because "Marauders always take care of their own".
I love you, Prongslet (oh I almost forgot, you need a Marauder Name)
Mischief Managed.
Your father,
James "Prongs" Potter

Harry had tears running down his checks. He couldn't help it. His parents' advice and words of love were too much.
He took deep breaths to calm down. Within minutes he was all right. Then he looked up at Ragnuk, who had been silent the entire time.
But Harry wasn't paying attention to the goblin. His mind was working furiously. His parents knew Dumbledore was going to try to manipulate Harry, and they left him everything to choose his own path: the freedom to do Magic before being 17, the power to defeat the Dark Lord, a place where nobody could find him and encouragement to have fun, Marauder way. Well, he was going to use what his parents gave him. Finally he spoke:
Ragnuk, where are those emancipation papers Sirius was talking about?
AN: Well what do ya guys think? I love stories where Harry is powerful, independent and confident. Do you like it? Do you hate it? R&R!
Love, Ro
