Chapter 2

Harry stood gaping at Mr. Montgomery. "I...I…ca-can't b-be th-the heir of Gryffindor." He spluttered.

Mr. Montgomery smiled and replied, "Well you are Mr. Potter. May I continue?"

"Yes I suppose you should."

"Right now where was I, ah yes, there's the Gryffindor vault, The Hamellin Vault.

"Hamellin?" Harry asked.

"Your grandmother was the last in the Hamellin Family. There is the Ullizes Vault."

"Ullizes?"

"Um, yes that one belonged to Patrick Ullizes, your father's godfather. And lastly there is Mr. Black's fortune which is combined into the Black Family Vault."

"That's a lot of vaults." Harry stated.

"Yes, Mr. Potter they are."

"And roughly how much does that add up to?" Harry wondered still shocked at his fortune.

"Hmm, well the money you inherited from your parents total 17 Billion gallons."

"BILLION!" Harry exclaimed.

"Yes, billion, and the Black fortune totals 6 billion gallons, so the total liquid assets come to 23 Billion Gallons, but that is not including, property, stock, and family heirlooms. If you add in those the total is well over 30 Billion Gallons."

"Bloody Hell." Harry whispered.

"Yes it is quite shocking isn't it?"

"Yes."

"Well all you have to do is sign right here on the dotted line, and Mr. Black's fortune will come to you." Harry complied. "And sign right here stating that Albus Dumbledore failed to tell you of your assets at the age of twelve." Harry reluctantly signed that one too. "Right now we will send an owl to Dumbledore stating that he is no longer keeper of your assets."

"Um, you don't suppose that you could wait like 48 hours before sending it, do you?" Harry asked.

"We could."

"Good, I would like to visit my parents' vault, I think."

"Here is a master key to all the vaults, I will have Griphook take you down to the vault, and you may spend as long as you need."

"Thank you, sir, for everything."

"You're most welcome, Mr. Potter."

Harry traveled down to the vault. Griphook showed him a bell that he could ring when he was ready to return. When he entered the vault he was astounded by the vastness of the vault, on a small table an envelope addressed to him was located.

My Dearest Harry,

If you are reading this letter, that means the worst has happened and your father and I are no longer with you. Your father and I have spent months rearranging the vault so that anything that we feel would benefit you in your task is easy for you to find. Even your father, who has been a Potter all of his life, does not know the full extent of the Potter Family Riches, however. The Thing I think you will enjoy the most is this small pouch that will hold as many gallons as you need and never grow heavier. It also has anti-theft charms and can only be opened by someone bearing the Potter Name. Also, next to this envelope you will find a ring with the Potter crest on it. It was your father's I hope that you will wear it with pride when you think of James and I. Always remember that we love you and do not despair, there will always be someone around that loves you.

Love your mother,
Lily Evans-Potter

Harry grew angry at the letter. It was just another thing that Dumbledore had hid from him. He picked up the bag and filled it with gallons; he also put on the ring and could feel the magical energy. A book caught his eye, it was called Restricted Charms. "Why would my parents have a book on restricted charms," he thought opening the book. A charm on the table of contents popped out at him and he opened the book to that page.

The Anti-Magical Signature Charm

This charm will erase the traceability of any wand. To perform it one must find a second wand and say, "Resiqual Magestic." This is 100 guaranteed to be untraceable by the Ministry of Magic in every country.

Harry smirked. This was exactly what he needed. He could perform this charm and disappear until school started again. He wouldn't have to worry about Dumbledore tracking him down. But where could he get a second wand without suspicion arising? Almost as soon as he thought that he noticed a long rectangular wand box, engraved on the top were the words, Lillian Evans-Potter. He smiled; this was his mother's wand. He pulled her wand out of the box and placed his own wand on the table. "Resiqual Magestic," he muttered.

He also noticed a roll of parchment; curiously he went over to it and opened it. It read,

DEED TO POTTER MANSION

Potter Mansion, located in the Valley of Lion's Den, is one of the most hidden buildings in Britain. The Mansion and its grounds can only be seen by a Potter or someone that a Potter has told the location to. The wards surrounding Potter Mansion are some of the finest and work much like a Fildius Charm.

There was a small map of the area surrounding The Valley of Lion's Den and Harry smiled. He had found his hiding spot. He decided to write a letter to Professor Dumbledore,

Dear Professor Dumbledore,
You told me at the end of last term that you would tell me everything, but now I have discovered yet another secret you have kept from me. You may continue using my home as Headquarters, but from this day forward we are nothing more than Headmaster and Student. By the time you get this letter I will have left my Aunt and Uncle's House never to return there. Do not worry about my safety as I can assure you I will be perfectly safe where I am going. Do not attempt to look for me because you will not be able to find me. The only letter that will get through to me will be my official Hogwarts letter. I will see you on September 1st and not a day earlier.

Harry Potter

He smirked at the thought of the look on Dumbledore's face when he got that letter. Gathering everything he felt he would need from the vault, Harry left. He went out into the street and decided to buy some things. He bought some new robes, both Hogwarts and casual, including some robes that concealed one's identity. He bought many things he felt like he would need, or want to perfect his escape from Privet Drive. He even included a new truck, which was actually a room instead of a real trunk. He also bought a book on apparition so that he could teach himself and several other books that he felt he could study from and perfect his fighting techniques.

He finally found himself back into his room in Privet Drive around one o'clock. He wrote letters to Ron and Hermione that he would send with Dumbledore's letter.

Dear Ron,
I have written to tell you that I will not be seeing you this summer because I am going into hiding. Dumbledore has greatly insulted me and I will not be bullied by him any longer. I am leaving Privet Drive forever tonight. Do not despair; I will be back on September 1st, ready for a new school year. Give my goodbyes to the rest of your family.

Harry

Dear Hermione,
I won't be seeing you this summer as I am going into hiding. Don't worry I'll take good care of myself and I'll study the entire time,( like that would ever happen!) Sorry Mione, but I think it's for the best. I'll see you on September 1st.

Harry

Harry packed all of his things into his new trunk, except his map to the Valley of Lion's Den and his Firebolt. He cast a disillusion charm on himself and his broom and he shrunk his trunk to fit into his pocket. He then sent Hegwig off with the three letters and flew out of his window, ready to conquer the world.
