Chapter 2: The True History
****At the Ministry of Magic****
The sound of Cornelius Fudge and Dolores Umbridge's outraged yelling could be heard everywhere in the building.
Shouts along the lines of "I am the Minister of Magic/Undersecretary and I demand you all release me!" Echoed through the halls. But luckily or unluckily for them, no one could even come near their cells, much less open them, so everyone had gotten extremely annoyed with hearing their voices. Some even thought about putting a silencing charm on them. Sadly, such an act is also impossible, so people start putting charms around themselves and continue the day, ignoring the two.
As everything continues normally, no one notices the area around Fudge old office's door beginning to glow faintly, runes appearing and spreading along the wall.
****Back to Gringotts****
After the shocking review that is Sirius and Remus's Inheritance results the four Gryffindors ask Griphook for a quick lunch and make some rough plans basically involving the Elder Mages in taking the old MOB down. Sirius has explained what he remembers from all the stories he had to learn as a child to become the next Lord Black. Even though the Elders don't have much contact with their blood descendants, any form of harm to their own blood from an outsider would have hell released. Both Harry and Hermione wonder what it is but at the same time, they're afraid to learn. After the eventful-but-also-not-so-eventful lunch break, Hermione suggested she go first, maybe to lessen the shock, 'cause Dumbledore surely couldn't dose her with as many poisons and potions (What's the difference?) as the older Gryffindors or Harry, right?
Turn out she was a bit wrong with that statement.

'Why did I even bother?' Hermione thought sadly.
"You know, the fact you're heir Ravenclaw doesn't actually surprise me. But who is Dagworth-Granger?" Asked Harry.
"Well, the only person I know to have that name is Hector Dagworth-Granger, the founder of the Most Extraordinary Society of Potioneers, but no more information about him could be found after he retired from the society," Remus said.
"I can't believe I'm Malfoy's mate, he barely tolerates me after we cornered him last year!" Hermione cried.
"Dumbledore's meddling doesn't have to be just only us you know, he's been around for what? A hundred years or so? Maybe even my mum and dad, or even Riddle have also been controlled by him, and he's been getting away with it for a long time. But now that the Elder Mages are taking action we WILL make the MOB pay with extra heavy interest!" Harry fumed.
"Don't worry Hermione. Narcissa Malfoy is one of my cousins, so maybe I could send her a letter and drop some hints here and there to check on Malfoy Jr, okay?" Sirius soothed.
"I guess so..." Hermione said, doubtful.
Harry nodded at his sister friend as he repeated the action he'd seen the others do. Even though he'd seen his godfathers' and his best friend's results, nothing could prepare him for some of what he saw in his...

"Ok, I did not expect some of these things on the list, like how did the title Slytherin come from my father? I was expecting Gryffindor, 'cause most Potters in the past were in that house..." Harry wondered.
"Allow me to explain Lord Potter-Kaizer," said Griphook, "You see, the three Peverell brothers from the story 'The Three Brothers' are actually children of the Elder Mage Thanatos and received the Deadly Hallows from their parent. The Eldest of three -Antioch Peverell- asked for a powerful wand that could only gain ownership by defeating the current owner. That's the Elder Wand. But one drunken night, he bragged about his wand a wizard who thirsted for power. The wizard stole it, cut his throat and ran. The Elder Thanatos was furious when she found out and cursed that wizard and his family to be creatures that can never die, never can be able to be happy ever again and always feel the cold truth. Later on, those creatures would be known as Dementors."
Pretty much everyone's reaction was one of shock and horror.
"Those foul creatures are actually human?!" Remus cried.
"Yes, but even if Elder Thanatos decides to reverse the curse, they are no longer human, and haven't been, not for a long time," Griphook explained. "Now on with the story. The second brother, one Cadmus Peverell, who recently lost his wife to the witch hunts begged his parent for a tool to bring back his beloved. However, even The Elder Mages cannot oppose Death, so the Mage created a stone that allowed him to recall the soul of a loved one with three turns -The Resurrection Stone. Although he met his beloved, Cadmus could not show her the same love as when she was alive, as she was separated from him as if by a veil, so close but so far, far away. Day by day, the second brother was driven mad by hopeless longing. He finally killed himself by hanging from his balcony unknowingly leaving behind their child at a tender age. Elder Thanatos, with grief and regret, cast a powerful blessing on the young child's bloodline to always find their True Love and to be never be separated by any form of love potion or block."
"How sad that the Elder's presents are actually the reasons that lead to the end of their lives. They were supposed to be gifts to bring happiness to the Elders children, not end their lives," Hermione said, lost in melancholy.
"That must have been painful for a parent, to be the indirect reason that leads to the death of their kid" Remus sighed, deep in thought.
"It has always been that way to the Elders. They are allowed to have offspring anytime and as many as they want but are forever doomed to watch them grow old, then die. Even though every single Elder Mage can stay alive as long as magic exists, their children will always be normal living beings, and die when the time comes."
"The best one can do is to live to a great age and greet Death as an old friend. That is what the third son, kind and humble Ignotus Peverell, asked for. He had known for a long time that he could not outlive an Elder so he asked for something to hide him from Death until the time came for him to die. At first, Elder Thanatos was hesitant to agree, but soon gave him the Cloak of Invisibility. With the cloak Ignotus managed to live many years until when he took off the cloak and gave it to his son," Griphook said, entwined within the threads of the story.
"Wow, I know James's cloak isn't normal with how long it's been around, but I wouldn't have thought it was that old," Sirius said wondrously.
"But how does it link to Salazar Slytherin?" Harry asked, confused.
"Salazar Antioch Peverell-Slytherin is a descendant of the second brother, and as the Elder blessed, he found the other half of his soul in the form of young Godric Gryffindor."
"Whattttt those two are soulmates?" Sirius exclaimed, surprised.
"How do you Goblins know this? And why don't those… people out there know? No offense," Hermione said hastily.
"Oh, no, this fact is indeed in the history books, but with Cuthbert Binns only ever teaching about the Goblin War and Dumbledore hiding away any history books about the Founders, everyone has always assumed they were enemies. We goblins, however, have known this for generations. Wizards generally ignore us most of the time, why would they ever chat with us lowly creatures about history?" Griphook said sarcastically.
"But wait, if Salazar is my ancestor and Godric Gryffindor was his Soulmate, shouldn't the Gryffindor name be on my inheritance list too?" Harry asked.
"Alas, that is the one thing Elder Thanatos missed- the blessing is to find their soulmate, everything else depends on the person," Griphook explained.
"What do you mean by that Griphook?" Hermione questioned.
"At that time, the Church had launched an attack on every witch and wizard out there. The adults got burned at the stake, while children either tried to suppress their magic to avoid persecution, becoming an Obscurus along the way or got captured as a slave for the Church, forced to fight for them or to create tools to catch and kill other magical people and creatures. Both outcomes were bad in their own ways, and Salazar Peverell-Slytherin's situation was the latter. At very young age Slytherin had been trained to be ruthless, suffering harsh training and many pains until he was saved by the Duke of Gryffindor- Godric's father, but by then Salazar had already closed off his heart to any outsiders. But with sheer stubbornness, young Godric manage to open up his frozen heart enough to become friends with Lady Rowena Ravenclaw and Lady Helga Hufflepuff. Finally, Salazar fell head over heels for his male best friend but hid his own feelings."
"I don't understand, why would he do that? Isn't it better to confess his feelings rather than bottle them up?" Hermione asked.
"At such a time it was not possible for the both of them Lady Ravenclaw-Dagworth-Granger. As the last of the Peverell line, it was his duty to continue the bloodline by marrying a female who would give birth to at least one heir and Lord Godric is also the only male in his family that could carry on the line. See, he had seven sisters so it had already been set who he would marry since a very young age" Griphook explained.
'Phew, seven sisters now that's horrifying...' Sirius muttered to Remus.
'Not now Sirius!' Remus replied
"But I read that male wizard are able to carry children and there are many potions and rituals to help then they could have no problem getting married and having heirs for both families right?" Hermione asked.
"Wait we can?" Harry exclaimed, confused.
"Yes, Harry so you don't have to worry. I know you're not just crushing on a certain potion master." Hermione giggled.
"Pup, we're going to talk about that," Sirius said, annoyed and a bit worried.
"May we not talk about this NOW? Please, continue Griphook," Harry argued, blushing.
"As Lady Ravenclaw-Dagworth-Granger had said there any way that could help the two founders but sadly the married between Lord Griffin and his fiance is an old contract that been postponed for a long time and if Lord Gryffindor is the only one left to fulfill it or he risked losing all of his family magic. Knowing that Salazar could never show his love to Godric and Godric could never fall in love with him, later on, Salazar married a young witch from the Gaunt family and had two children. The son took his mother's family name, while the daughter took her father's name and married into the Potter family, whose ancestor was the youngest Peverell brother. The love between the two of them was Fate but never meant to be, not to mention young Godric was too dense to even know- the other two founders had found out after meeting the others for less than a year."
"That so sad so that meant Gryffindor never know Slytherin's feelings?" Remus said, sad for Slytherin and his doomed love.
"No, it was actually much later in life that he finds out but it was too late then. The fact of the matter was that they both felt the same as their love story ended in tragedy. As you may know, the infamous fight between the two founders was before Salazar Slytherin left Hogwarts, but the topic between them was twisted until it becomes what it is today. Godric, despite knowing about Salazar's past, could only see the good in people. He suggested bringing muggle-born's parents to Hogwarts but Salazar knew and understood the dangers of Muggles, more so than any of the Founders. He knew how dark and inhuman they could be towards what they can't understand. But with Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff backing Gryffindor up, Slytherin could only try to change their minds as they argue. In a fit of anger, Godric Gryffindor banned Slytherin from Hogwarts. With a heavy heart, Salazar Slytherin left the only place he ever called home without looking back."
"That's so unfair! He was trying to help protect the students but got kicked out for it!" Hermione growled, outraged.
"Life isn't always fair Hermione. You should know that by now," Harry said in a serious voice.
"So Harry has the Slytherin through the Potter blood. I can't say I'm surprised. I actually guessed James must have some Slytherin blood in him since he always used his cunning in pranking back then, cause Purebloods tend to marry each other." Remus sighed, forlorn that one of his best friends was dead.
"But what about the Kaizers? As much as I hated all the history lessons back in Heir Training 101, I still remember that that bloodline went extinct a long time ago." Sirius wondered.
"As for the Kaizer bloodline, we goblins have been entrusted by the last head of house with this letter," Griphook said, rummaging around in a chest nearby.
Griphook took out a red envelope and gave it to Harry. As he accepted the letter, Harry opened it to see what his ancestors had to say.
To my future descendants,
I am the Head of the Divide house of Kaizer, by the time you read this letter the magical world will believe our family has come to extinction, I do not know how long has it been, but the very fact that you can open this letter means you are my descendant.
We Kaizers possess the ability to control the Divine Flame- that which destroys impurities and brings fortune's favor to the pure. Impurities are not those with non-magical origin nor those with creature heritage, but those who dare smear magic with their dirty schemes. Our very flesh and bones bring great power to anyone who tastes them, so we are hunted and tracked by both the church and the magical world. So in order to protect our bloodline, we have decided to hide ourselves in the one place both sides would never expect: The Muggle world, and pass down knowledge of our lineage to the eldest child at the age of 20 until a child manages to have magic again. The moment you read this letter you are allowed access to the family vaults and many books and artifacts, as there is a limit I could write. Other information on our House can be found in the Family Grimoire. Please bring glory to our name once again
Head of the Divine house of Kaizer
"Woah, I knew why Lily is so powerful now. The Divine House of Kaizer was the oldest and most powerful lineage in the world! Their power was second only to the Elder Mages and that's something already. Not only that, women from this house could give birth to very powerful children with the combined power of both parents. No wonder you are so powerful when you were a baby, toys flying all over the place and you even change the color of the house! It took forever to fix later that day, James was a powerful wizard and Lily is -was- the strongest female of our generation," Sirius said sadly, remembering his lost friends.
"I guess Lily didn't try to have a heritage test since she always thought she was a muggle-born, if not Dumbledore controlled her too. But he does know you have strong magic so he decided to block it," Remus guessed.
"Her parents died in an accident when we were in our last year, I remember hearing her crying alone in an empty classroom after seeing her receive the letter. Petunia wasn't even 20 yet at that time so they didn't know the family secret. So naturally, Lily doesn't even know of her own bloodline," Sirius thought out loud.
"So since Harry's aunt is a Muggle, she does not get the family fortune and as the last of his line he automatically becomes the Head of the family," Hermione said to the group.
"No, I'm thinking about telling Dudley too. He's also of the Kaizer blood and all that," Harry pondered the pros and cons of telling Dudley.
"Are you sure? I mean I know you said that he had changed and all, but..." Hermione said, worried for Harry's safety.
"Positive, my intuition told me to trust him. And you know I'm rarely wrong about it," Harry confidently stated.
"Ok, I trust you. It is your family's matters so it is your choice," Hermione said, still somewhat unconvinced.
"Now how about we get rid of all the influences on our bodies and get on with the money business?" Sirius said, still angry that Dumbledore would be that horrible.
"Very well you may follow me to the cleaning chamber. Since we Goblins also share hates for the meddling old fool, the cost will be taken from his vault along with extra, for... reassessment of assets and rebalancing of accounts." Griphook chuckled slightly evilly.
"I like the way you think Griphook. But let's throw in some more, shall we? Such as, in order to upgrade the defense system, every vault will be thoughtfully looked over for dangerous objects and artifacts and returned to their rightful owners!" Harry exclaimed, finally feeling like he was getting some modicum of revenge.
"Even better! It will be my pleasure to work with you from now on Lord Potter-Kaizer," said Griphook with a smug smile.
"Oh please call me Harry since we're going to work together from now on," Harry murmured with a business smile that seemed far too bright
'Oh my, he is unleashing his inner Slytherin. I feel so glad to be on the same side as him I don't even want to know what will happen to Dumbledore with adding punishment from Both Harry AND The Elders' Remus muttered smugly.
'Harry has always been a Slytherin. He just doesn't show it around people he does not trust. And that's just me, Neville and the twins. As much as Harry thinks Ronald is his friend, I'm the best friend that he actually trusts since that dick never did anything to help,' Hermione whispered fiercely.
'It takes a true Slytherin to act as a Gryffindor. I would have known that since I bust out of prison' (Sirius)
After going through the 'Slight' painful process to clean their system of Dumblewhore's magic block and potion their physical appearances also have slightly changed. Stepping out of the chamber first was Remus with most of the scars on his slightly tanned skin faded to the point that people would need to take a very close look to see them. His shoulders became slightly wider and you could see lean muscle showing under his shabby wizard's robes. The atmosphere around him was no longer timid and tired, but confident and powerful. Next was Sirius. His body filled out, despite not having a decent meal for sometime after he got locked in prison. He was still on the slender side, with pale skin and his face showed the aristocratic beauty that only a Black could have. As the two Marauders met eyes, the creatures inside them reached out to form the soulbond after it had been blocked for so long. Remus pulled Sirius into his arms and buried his head in his mate's neck, smelling his soothing scent, then giving Sirius a very deep kiss.
"Ah! Get a room you two! I don't need to see this the first thing stepping out of that chamber!" Hermione screeched, surprised by the sudden kissing.
Hermione's look also changed for the better, with her hair no longer a bushy mess anymore, but bouncing down in a stylish curly cut and her front teeth shrank down to a normal size that complemented her now high cheekbones and angled face. If you looked carefully, her ears had a bit of a point to them, no doubt from her creature heritage. She simply shook her head at her former professor and his mate in a mock-irritated way.
"Come on Hermione, give them a rest this time! They were forced from each other since childhood- if it was you, you'd act the same," Harry said, calming Hermione down.
Harry no longer looked like a cardboard copy of James Potter, gone was the forever untameable mess that he once had called hair. It now falls down and hugs his face like waves with a slightly reddish color when the light hits it just right. His eyes have no need for the thick glasses, taking on an almond-shape, with a dangerous shine, just like the spell Avada Kedavra, with scale-like markings on his fair skin under his eyes. He was no longer as skinny as he was before and managed to grow half an inch.
"Cub, you look better like this!" Remus said happily.
"Thanks, Moony. Now, how about we finish things up here," Harry responded.
They did the process, accepting the Lord/Lady Ring and gaining access to their vaults. After that, everything passed much quicker, without all the shocking new information that kept popping up. Hermione picked up a seven compartment trunk with three library compartment that could store thousands of books with the family Grimoires and some other magical items, Harry also takes both the Potter and Kaizer's Grimoire with him along with several books on Alchemy, Ancient Runes, and Enchantment. As they finish the rest of their business in Gringotts, the group decides to go shopping for new stuff. Since their looks have changed due to the cleaning ritual, Sirius has no worry of anyone recognizing him and calling the Aurors, or getting cornered by Harry's so-called fans.
They first visit Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions to buy new sets of everyday clothes and wizard's/Witch's robes, then Twilfitt and Tattings for some more formal articles. They then moved on to the Trunk and Bag Shop so Harry could buy a new trunk, also with seven compartments but with one library, a Potions lab, and an Alchemist's lab with added security features, such as a passcode and blood lock. After that, both Hogwarts students refilled all their potion ingredients. Apparently, Dumbledore purposely made the yearly pack with low-grade ingredients so there were no talented Potions students around, only after Snape become a professor did Slytherin's student's ingredients become better. Sadly, he couldn't do anything for the other houses.
All in all, the shopping trip passed peacefully, without further surprises.
****At Riddle Manor****
Lord Voldemort is sitting in a meeting with his inner circle. It's about the new situation of Britain's magical community, and gone is the Snake-like creature that came out of the cauldron but in its place is Thomas Marvolo Riddle, looking to be in his mid-twenty and as handsome as the devil himself with his smooth brown hair neatly combed and wine red eyes.
"So, young Malfoy, you are telling me that Harry Potter is no longer deep in Dumbledore's pocket?" Tom asked, debating his next move.
"Yes, my lord. Both he and his friend Granger told me that they had become suspicious of the old man after their third year, but after the fool forced him to compete in the Triwizard, he broke their trust in him." Draco reported calmly.
"Hmmm, how interesting. Tell me Draco, did they said anything else?" Tom asked.
"Yes, Potter told me that he has no need to fight against us, but requested to know what our real goal is, not the lies that Dumbledore spread around. Granger also suggested going to Gringotts to check for potions and spells, since it would be like Dumbledore to do something to ensure his pawn stays loyal to him. According to the letter Granger sent me, they have an appointment for a Heritage ritual today, along with Sirius Black and Remus Lupin." Draco continued with his report.
"Yes, yes, I won't put it past that meddling fool to do something like that. Lucius, send a schedule to Gringotts for all the inner circle, Severus make some protective potions to prevent the fool from knowing and dosing us a second time." Tom planned out loud, preferring input from his followers.
"Yes, my lord/Right away my lord" Lucius and Severus agreed, each going off to do their assigned tasks.
"Oh and Lucius?" Tom asked, pausing Lucius in place.
"Yes?" Lucius responded tensely.
"After you have done that, contact the Department of Mysteries to look into that so-called prophecy between Potter and I. For all we know, it could have been a fake," Tom said, just remembering what had been at the back of his mind all day.
"Understood. But what about the message just now?" Lucius asked, already knowing the answer and smirking as he asked.
"We shall wait and let the fool dig his own grave." Tom said, with a matching (if slightly eviler) smirk on his face.
****Unknown Location, Yggdrasil world tree****
"It is time." A very cold female voice could be heard echoing in the air of the Council Hall. One of its other occupants spoke.
"It has been some time since we've gone back to England. I suddenly feel so excited~!" Another female voice could be heard, but this one held a somewhat care-free nature.
"It has been what, a couple millennia now? I would prefer it if we got to go back for some other reason, not cleaning up after some god-complex brat who tries to act like a saint ruins everything." This time is a deeply serious and strict voice of a male.
The carefree female voice giggled.
"Again~!"
"Enough. We shall make him pay and sup later, once we are there." The cold female voice murmured gently as if she was soothing a wild beast.
"Yes, Elder Thanatos."
