Harry finds out the truth.
Chapter 2
The days leading up to Wednesday the 12th passed in a blur. Looking back Harry couldn't tell one day apart from another simply because he did the same thing every day. He would wake up, go downstairs and make breakfast for the Dursleys, complete the chores he was set, have a slice of bread, a small chunk of cheese and a glass of water, that was left on the table for him, retired to bed.
One thing that annoyed him was he had received another letter from Dumbledore stating he was not to leave the house under any circumstances and Dumbledore would attend the wills in his place because it was too risky for him to attend. 'Well that isn't happening' harry thought as he read the letter.
Harry woke up on Wednesday 12th with a feeling in the pit of his stomach that there was someone watching him. He thought it was his uncle or Dudley maybe even his aunt. One quick glace told him it wasn't any of them. The person standing there was male with flaming red hair that reached 4 inch past his shoulders, which was tied back at the nape of his neck and a dragons tooth dangling from his left ear.
"Bill" Harry whispered still half asleep. Bill Weasley was the brother of his best friend Ron. Bill was actually the eldest of the Weasley children being 8 years older than Harry was. He worked as a curse breaker and warder in Egypt for Gringotts but was in England to see his family and review the curse breakers and warders that worked here.
"Yes, come on I'm here to escort you to Gringotts. It is earlier than what we said it would be but it's really important. Dumbledore is trying to stop you attending the wills. He is saying you are still grieving and don't wish to be bothered at the moment. The senile old coot." Bill replied with a hint of malice to his voice, which suggested that he didn't agree with the headmaster.
Harry got up and found the nicest clothes he owned which were a pair of black jeans and a light blue, tight-fitting tee shirt. These were the only clothes that fit him and it was only because he bought them at the start of the summer. He also dug out of his trunk a set of plain black robes that he had for weekends at Hogwarts.
"Are you ready then Harry?" Bill asked once harry had finally got dressed. "You can get something to eat in diagon alley later. We'll be portkeying straight into the bank. Ragnok was kind enough to set up a back room for us to arrive in because of the trouble Dumbledore is trying to cause. Griphook will be waiting for us there and he'll escort us to where we need to be."
"If you're ready just grab this," Bill explained holding out a muggle newspaper. "It's attuned to our magical signatures, so it only activates when we are both holding it". Bill spoke softly noticing harry bemused expression.

They arrived at the bank with harry flat on his back as he still hadn't, even after all these years, got used to using a portkey.
"Mr Potter it is nice to see you again, please come this way" greeted Griphook "Ah Mr Weasley, yes I was told you would be here as well, how's Egypt?"
"Egypt is great thanks Griphook." Bill replied
Griphook led them down a long hallway and into a large rectangular office where another goblin was sitting behind the large oak desk. The office was spacious with many personal items scattered around. Opposite the oak desk was a large bookcase that took up the whole wall. On the desk were three files and a large basin that remind him of a pensive. "Director Ragnok you wished to see me" Harry spoke. "Mr. Potter, I am sorry to inform you that your potter family vaults as well as your trust fund have been accessed without your permission. When we looked further into it we concluded that Albus Dumbledore appointed himself as your magical guardian when in fact your magical guardian was Mr. and Mrs. Tonks. Mr. Albus Dumbledore and several others have been withdrawing money in your name and depositing it into other accounts. In total they took 678,000 galleons from your family vaults and 15,500 galleons from your trust fund. Mr. Dumbledore also took a few personal items that belonged to your mother and father. These were your father's invisibility cloak, your parent's wedding rings and your mother engagement ring, the copy of your parents birth certificates and wedding certificate and a copy of your birth certificate." Ragnok said his voice full of regret. "Wait a minute family vaults the only vault I have is my own, vault 713." Harry replied very confused. "No there is one potter family vault which has three rooms, one for money, one for books and the last one is for personal items. Vault 713 is your trust fund." Explained Ragnok furious that no-one had told this child about his inheritance. "Who were the others that took money from my vaults?" Harry enquired already praying it wasn't who he thought it was. "Mrs. Molly Weasley, Mr. Ronald Weasley and Miss Gineva Weasley." Replied Ragnok "Here, these are records from your vaults. They say who took what out and when. They many help you understand better than I can. We are sorry that this has happened and as we speak I have some of the best curse breakers and warding specialists undoing and redoing your wards on both vaults they will be keyed to your magical signature only." Handing over three pieces of parchment to harry.

"Director Ragnok is there anyway I can get the items back. It doesn't really matter about the money, although I would like to know how much I have in total from all my vaults. I would also like a list of all the properties I own." Harry explained. "Very well I will get it organised for you we should have the items in a few hours. I understand you already have your fathers cloak." Ragnok replied. "Yes I have. Is there anything else I should know about, any powers I may inherit or anything?" Asked Harry. "I'm not too sure but it you place three drops of blood on this piece of parchment then we can see." Explained Ragnok as he handed Harry a piece of special parchment he had retrieved from a draw in his desk and a ritual dagger. Harry took the piece of parchment offered and sliced the dagger across his thumb, he let the required three drops of blood fall onto the parchment before he stuck his thumb into his mouth to stop the bleeding. The parchment flashed blue as ink slowly appeared forming the words that was written on the parchment. For a moment Harry stared at the parchment blankly before reading what was written.

"Ragnok is there any way to have these blocks removed" Asked Harry who was getting more annoyed by the minute. "Yes Mr Potter I will have our best healer take a look as soon as the wills have been read" replied Ragnok. "Harry, Director Ragnok I may be able to help with the blocks as I have mastery in both warding and curse-breaking. I also think, from what I have seen and heard today, that Dumbledore is somewhat responsible for this," Bill suggested speaking for the first time. "Yes that might be for the best I will arrange it for after the will reading if that is suitable. I will look into why you have so many blocks and the magnitude of the blocks Mr. Potter," Ragnok said. "Thanks bill. You are very kind," said harry.
"Ragnok is there anything else I need to be a where off," harry asked the director. "Yes harry you have 1 soul bond contract and 1 betrothal contract. The soul bond contract was created and signed by both sets of parents and witnessed by me." Ragnok replied. "First what is a soul bond contract and second who will it affect." Harry enquired. "A soul bond is the most powerful bonds that anyone can have. A soul bond contract is a marriage contract but it is between two soul mates. Yours is for you and Mr William Weasley. Harry, your parents left both of you a letter explaining why this contract was made," explained Ragnok, while handing over the letters written by Mr and Mrs Potter. "Ok, what about this betrothal contract. If my parents created a soul bond contract why would they make a betrothal contract as well? Harry replied still in shock about the soul bond contract but confused at why this other contract was created. Bill was just sat there in too much shock to say anything, although he was opening and shutting his mouth, doing a fantastic impression of a goldfish. "No that was created by Albus Dumbledore and Mrs Molly Weasley. It is for you and Miss Gineva Weasley. Due to Dumbledore's status as your magical guardian this was allowed," Ragnok spat, upset at just what lengths Dumbledore would go to, to plan Harry's life for him.
"What! I don't even like Ginny that way I viewed her as my sister till I read my statements." Harry spoke passionately. "When was this contract signed? I can't believe my mother would do this after she had signed the soul bond contract between me and Harry. I can't believe she would do that to her own daughter, not including Harry and me. I understand the soul bond contract, it would have happened anyway when harry has magical creature blood in him," Exclaimed a disgusted Bill. "On the 3rd November 1981," replied Ragnok looking at the details in one of the files on his desk. The other was all open at various pages as he had rifled through them in order to find the information that Harry had requested. "That was just days after my parents died, I don't think they was even buried and he was trying to plan my life," Harry exclaimed, shocked at just how manipulating Dumbledore was. "Right I think that's everything for now, although they may be more after the reading of the wills" Ragnok decided.
