Chapter 2
"Sir, I don't really know anything about my family, where I came from." Harry said as he sat down on the chair provided, Hermione right next to him, their hands clutching.
"Well, we also want the both of you to take an inheritance test, it is very simple and we could do that first." Ragnok said and both the teens nodded. "Well then, please cut yoursleves deeply with these knifes and let the blood fill the bowl to the top, we will then heal your wounds." He said and two bowls and two knifes appeared in front of them and they did what they were told. As soon as the bowl was full, the wounds instantly healed.
Ragnok worked quickly, taking Hermione first, he laid a large piece of paper down on the table and then gently picked up the bowl full of her blood and tipped it all onto the paper. The blood stretched as though an invisible hand was forcing it to move, it slowly crept along the paper and started forming lines and what appeared to be names, when the process was done, the blood disappeared and there in black writing was Hermione's complete family tree. It was in tiny writing until Ragnok waived his hand over it and it became easier to read.
"Well, Hermione, I will admit, that was a shock. Your mother was a pure-blood witch who had her magic bound, much like the both of you have, and her memory wiped, she was from a prominent family in France and had a large history. You father has no ties to the magical world and is a muggle. You are a direct descendant from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, the two female founders and are left to their treasures as you are direct descendant. You have ties to the Delacour family and have Veela magic in you. Your mother was the sister of Appoline Delacour, the power comes from her side. Your mother was kidnapped and bound, no one knows where she is and what became of her. Hermione you are quarter Veela and have the same allure, it has been blocked, like your magic. You have a rich history, going back through France and one of your relatives was the Queen Antoinette. When this war is over, I would advise to contact the Delacour family and you can learn more history from there." Ragnok said, he then gently folded up the large paper and gave it to Hermione to study.
He then pulled another paper from the drawer and placed it on the table and did the same thing with Harry's blood. "Harry, although, not surprising, you have a rich family history." Ragnok said when the blood was gone. "Your father was an esteemed Pureblood of the Potter Family, you are also the main inheritor from the Black family. You are a Lord, and as you have turned seventeen, it I your right to claim your rightful place. Far back, you have ancestors such as Gryffindor, who you are a main ancestor of and Slytherin, who you are only a small line, the rightful heir in Tom Marvolo Riddle, also known as Voldemort. You are a direct descendant of Merlin himself and the Peverall family, the third brother who create what is called the Deathly Hallows, also and your family is very rich. Such as Hermione, your family also has a unique ability, they are descendant from a very special race of creature, elves, and if you were an animagus, it is likely to be a magical animagus, which is from your mother's side. Both families that you are a Lord for are Most Noble and Most Ancient Houses, there are only five; Bones, Longbottom, Greengrass, Potter, and Black in Britain. You can learn more history of your family from the main Potter Manor. As you would have liked to know, you own many houses that are completely safe and many people do not know about them, go to you Waikiki one and see. Now, would you like to continue to remove the blocks within you?" Ragnok said.
"Yes, please, sir, but when I tested Harry, I felt something dark beneath his scar. To be honest, I'm worried about it." Hermione said.
"I have felt the same thing, I feel that it may be a piece of Voldemort's soul. I know that you know about his Horcruxes, you are hunting them. Dumbledore should have trusted us, we could have fixed this a lot sooner. We do know that two items have been destroyed. Can I ask as to what they were?" Ragnok said.
"The first was a diary that Tom Riddle kept when he was in sixth year, the second was a ring that Dumbledore destroyed. There was the possibility of a third, but it was a fake and caused the weakness of Dumbledore which led to his death. But, we found that one also, but haven't had a way to destroy it, yet." Harry said.
"Well, if you give it to us, we can destroy both items at the same time. We found another of his in a vault back in Diagon Alley, in Bellatrix Lestrange's vault and have already had it destroyed. What do you think are the others?" Ragnok said curiously.
"Well, his snake is a very real possibility, also he seems to be doing founder things, so maybe something from Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw, we already have his Slytherin." Hermione said.
"The Horcrux found in the Lestrange Vault was a Hufflepuff item." Ragnok said, "I don't think it could be Gryffindor's sword, it can't be charmed like that, maybe Ravenclaw's Diadem. If Dumbledore had come to us sooner, this would have been finished last year. There are four Horcruxes left, by the end of this day, there shall be just two. The snake and the diadem."
Harry and Hermione looked at each other excitedly, after months there had been none to little progress, now they were so close away from only having to deal with two Horcruxes. "How soon will it be, do you estimate, before we are rid of Voldemort's Horcruxes and we can kill him?" Harry asked.
"Well, I am certain, by the end of the week." Ragnok said, thinking over the sums in his head.
"Are you certain?" Hermione asked and Ragnok gave her a look and she apologised.
"Right, shall we continue with the ritual?" Ragnok asked and Harry and Hermione nodded nervously. "We want to do you both at the same time, Harry's will take longer. The fee is 20 galleons for each ritual, the Horcrux removal is free. I know it is steep, but Harry you can afford it."
"Right, let us get this over with." Harry said and Ragnok led them to another room which looked more like a hospital with two large stone features in the middle.
"Can you please lie on the stones for us, this will be painful, many people black out after a few seconds, but if I'm right about the two of you, and I feel I am, you might not black out for a long time." Ragnok said and Harry and Hermione looked at one another and nodded and held hands whilst they were getting comfortable on the stones.
"Excuse me, put it is customary in the Hawaiian region of this bank that the individuals going through this experience wear lei's. They are magical and will help." Said a goblin who they did not know the name of.
"Of course, if it is customary." Harry replied and they both were given lei's that they put around their neck.
"We shall begin." Ragnok said and all the goblins started chanting in Gobbledegook and then they started dancing around the stone platforms, surrounding them in a circle, then two goblins gave them something that had to drink and they gulped it down and both started having spasms and fits. They were in unendurable pain and Hermione was the first to black out, after 20 minutes of the pain, it finally took a toll and her head slammed against the stone, her body was still dancing through muscle spasms, though, but then she opened her eyes again and looked at him and tried to smile her hardest, she made another 20 minutes after that and finally did cave to the pain. Harry made another forty minutes after that before he began to close his eyes, but refused and energy seemed to surge back through him. After the first hour, he made another two before he slumped as well. The goblins were very impressed as they could see the changes in both of them as magical paper recorded what blocks and other magicks were used against them and the reasons.
Finally after a very long night Harry and Hermione awoke, their heads sore, as well as the rest of their body. They were given another potion which relieved their aches and pains and was served breakfast which they were grateful for. After an hour and they kept their food own, they were allowed to see Ragnok, and after business they were allowed to leave. They walked quickly like the goblin who was leading them to their meeting room.
"Harry, Hermione. I am most impressed, as are the other Goblins that watched that show, the longest anyone has lasted was 5 minutes, both of you went way past that. Hermione lasted forty minutes, you seemed like you were going to black out at twenty minutes, but you held on. Harry lasted three hours which was most impressive, but we were glad that you finally blacked out, the Horcrux removal would have been even more painful. We recorded what each of the blocks were and why they were placed there, please go through it extensively when you get out of here, I will tell you a few notable items.
"You are both animagi, after wanting to become one after you met Sirius Black, you achieved at the beginning of fifth year, Dumbledore found out at the end of sixth year, obviously before he died and blocked the ability and erased your memories. You both had a massive fallout with Ronald Weasley after he was caught using love potions on the both of you, you mysteriously made up, you memories erased of the events. Dumbledore also hid Hermione's Veela capabilities, you will notice a definite change and both of you had more than 80% of you magic blocked and erased memories of training for this war. Harry had his Elvin abilities hidden as well as his talent of metamorphmagus, it is only small, but you can easily change your appearance.
"You had your memory erased at Sirius Black's will and the recording of the prophecy was faked, there is no prophecy. That is all. Here is a list of all your buildings that you own, your homes, use them as you like, how much money you have in each account and inherited from Sirius Black, the latter also goes to Hermione. He also helped you with your animagus capabilities. Hermione, as a Veela you have the capability to bond to a mate that is deemed worthy to your magic, you had one, but the Weasley's tried to interfere, their goal was for Hermione to be married to Ronald and Harry to be married to Ginevra. Harry, you may now take both House Potter and House Black rings. I have also included a list of Black properties.
"Now we will give you both a necklace each which is actually a portkey, it will take you to any house on that list if you state what number house you want to go to, the numbers are on the sheet, it will also protect you from spells such as memory charms, compulsion charms, tracking charms and loyalty charms. Harry, look into getting Hermione an engagement ring, her Veela mate is you, you might find damage from other parties forcing you apart. That is all, we will give you a letter when we find another of those things and each fortnight give you bank statements, they should have started when you were eleven, but our owls came back to us. Right, I think that is everything. I hope to see one another soon." Ragnok stood up and led them to where the tellers gathered and they left the bank and started shopping for some things they needed.
Soon, they searched their list and came across the property that was in Waikiki, there were another few in Hawaii which made them think that Harry's relatives really liked it here. They soon found the number and touched their necklaces and whispered the number like they were told and had the familiar feeling of being pulled by their navel until they reached their destination. Harry and Hermione looked around curiously, it was a nice, large house, particularly the type you would expect. It was right on the shoreline on a private beach, near the popular beach, but all too themselves, they knew anyone wouldn't be able to see them around the boundaries, the double story house led out onto a large deck and stairs down to the sandy bottom. Harry couldn't help but imagine his parents here with him when he was a small boy, dipping his feet in the warm water, running around, chasing him. It was the perfect, family friendly home. Hermione smiled at him and he realised the changes she had undergone, maybe it was because her Veela side wasn't blocked anymore, but she was beautiful. He didn't know how he hadn't realised it before, and then he remembered, he had, they dated for a long time during fifth and sixth year and then it stopped, no one broke up with the other, it just stopped against their will.
"You're remembering us dating?" Hermione asked, a curious expression on her face.
"I loved you, 'Mione, why would they do that to us, they obliviated me and then made me date Ginny, I never liked her, all she saw was the boy-who-lived. I was going to ask you to marry me right after my birthday if they hadn't ruined it." Harry said, tears in his eyes.
"They could have killed us, we were more than boyfriend and girlfriend, we were Veela bonded, and luckily we were best friends. If we were ever away from each other for too long, we would literally die, both of us, they took a great risk, or just didn't care." Hermione said, her eyes rancid.
"Why block that we were animagus, what would that do?" Harry asked desperately.
"I don't know, I remember that, we wanted to right after we learned of Sirius and you dad becoming them, not only was I, a Veela, able to do it, we had two forms each, that is incredibly rare." She said.
"Do you remember the ball?" Harry asked.
"Oh god, yes. The first thing you did when you heard about it was to come rushing to me and ask me to it. I would have loved to have gone with you, I said yes, but the next day I was asked by Ron and told him that I already had a date with Harry." Hermione said.
"He was furious, that must have been why he did that, why Krum and Parvati, if he wanted you, why not make it so?" Harry asked.
"Arise suspicion, maybe?" Hermione said.
"Our daughter?" Harry prompted and Hermione started crying.
"I can't believe we did that, they killed her, I stood there crying whilst Dumbledore killed my baby. It was the happiest I've ever felt and they took that away from me, let me bleed and then changed my memory." She said between sobs.
"I'll never forgive any of them, why would they do that to us, why would Dumbledore hid this from me, I would be perfectly safe here, safer than the Dursley's." Harry said, looking longingly to the beach.
"I don't know why they were cruel to us, why we were their victims from the start, both of us from the day we stepped onto that platform, I wish I went to Beauxbatons, they wouldn't have done this to us. I feel so hurt from all the things they have done just so they could control us and our money." Hermione said.
"They are deader than Voldemort when I get to them. Voldemort may have killed my parents, and for that he should die, but Dumbledore, Molly, Ron, Ginny, they killed my daughter and the one true love of my life." Harry said.
"Ron, when I first met him on the train, he became addicted to my allure, I always had the ability to do that, even when it was blocked. I am getting what Fleur meant when she said sometimes she hates being a Veela, that jerk did all that. A true love for a Veela is one who does not notice the allure. Like you, Harry, my mate." Hermione said and cuddled into Harry's side.
"Without them, we would have been together much sooner, we would be parents. Why did they do that to us?" Harry said desperately.
"I do not know, my love, but they will never step foot near us again, they've hurt us for the last time." Hermione said with a determined look on her face.
