If I owned the Harry Potter Series then there would have been a lot of changes and things would have gone a lot differently. With that said. I do not own harry potter but this story idea is an original one. And therefore the changes are going to be something of my own design.

Ch. 3

Gringotts

During the car ride Harry started reading up on wizarding family, etiquette, and laws. He had decided to show up a day early for the train and spend the night at the Leaky Cauldron, that Hagrid had shown him, so he could read everything about the culture and wizarding world that he should have already been informed about.

"What are you reading freak?" said Dudley. "A book on my people's customs, and traditions." replied Harry. Dudley almost had a fit at hearing this. "DAD! The freak is reading one of those freakish books!" Harry just rolled his eyes waiting for it. "WHAT! Didn't I tell you boy no freakishness while we are out in public with decent people?" Vernon bellowed. "Yes Uncle Vernon, but this book is about how my kind acts when around each other. I was reading it so that when I get there I wouldn't be considered improper in the way I act. That way I wouldn't embarrass you and Aunt Petunia." Startled, Vernon saw how that could be useful, actually using his brain for once. "Oh, well I guess that is ok as long as you are doing so that everyone knows we raised you right and tried to instill some manners in you boy." Smiling, Harry kept reading, knowing that he had played to the fears of his whale of an uncle quite well.

As they pulled up to King's Cross Harry put his book up, having already learned a lot he changed his priorities. First, was back to Gringotts. As he found out that either the goblins there, or he himself had made a grave error on his first trip into the bank. "Well boy here you are. Now get out and be quick about it we don't want any normal people seeing that your freakishness is related to us." Vernon managed to spit out. Grabbing his trunk, the one Ollivander had spelled for him to be his library and travel to his secret room, Harry got out of the car and barely shut the door in time before Vernon caused the car to peel out in his hurry to leave. "Good riddance." Harry said barely above a whisper.

Harry headed for the Leaky Cauldron, which was not very far from the station. Entering he said, "Hello Tom. Would you mind opening up the gate to Diagon Alley for me? Hagrid showed me how to but I can't seem to remember the order you push them in. Oh, and I need a room for tonight. My family won't be here tomorrow to drop me off so they said I could stay here and ride the train in the morning." The barkeep responded, "Sure young man. Since its just tonight I will put you up in a room for a couple of sickles. It won't be much to look at but it will serve your purposes." Harry handed him over the money, quickly getting a key with a room number on it in return. "Now right this way young man." he said opening up the back door. Harry followed quickly, watching as Tom pushed the bricks, memorizing the order this time, since he hadn't been paying attention when Hagrid did it. It opened up for him and Tom. "There you go, now be careful in there. Don't wanna see a young man like you get himself into trouble."

Harry headed through the gateway that was created, heading straight for the Gringotts branch. Walking in he recognized the goblin that had given him a tour the day before. "Excuse me, Griphook?" Griphook jerked up at hearing his name, for none remembered the goblins names. "Yes dear boy?" "I am Harry Potter, I was here yesterday, you showed me my vault, which I am very grateful for." Harry paused, "You remember me Mr. Potter?" Griphook inquired. Smiling, Harry said "Why yes, you were the first magical being I ever met outside of Hagrid. It was just simply amazing and scary meeting you." Griphook grinned, which caused Harry to shudder slightly. "I am very honored." The goblin remarked. "Usually wizards brush us off as unimportant. I am glad to see someone so young already starting to change that. Now what can I help you with?" Harry thought to himself, "Be respectful, be afraid but don't show weakness, and always, always try to help them earn money." At least, that's what the book had said about how to befriend goblins. "Well I do not want to be rude or insulting, but I believe a grave error was made yesterday. I was informed that all wizards have inheritance tests done when they turn eleven, but when I was here yesterday, no one mentioned it nor asked me about it. I did not learn about it until after I left here though, so the mistake may have been in my ignorance." Shocked, the goblin started cussing in his language. 'God damn wizards and there infernal meddling with how things are always done.' Then he calmed and spoke clearly. "I am sorry my dear boy. But we were informed that you knew of the customs and had decided to do the inheritance test at a later date. This is a grave error that we must fix right away. Well, it does seem that we have an opening right now in the inheritance department, so you came just in time. Follow me."

"As long as I am not interrupting them, I would hate to interrupt a goblin considering it is their jobs to make wizards like me money." Harry said, with a slight smile. Griphook was shocked once again. No one ever respected a goblins time. This boy was indeed someone to be watchful of. He waved the boy on and they headed down the hallway to the doorway with a big plaque above it stating 'Inheritance Department'. They walked in, Harry making sure to be behind the goblin. "Snarlfang, we have a Harry Potter here who needs to do his inheritance tests." The goblin said to the one sitting behind the desk. Then, in his language he added. 'And this one is the one that the headmaster told us had already had it done, but he seems to have not known anything about it till this morning, and decided to come down and fix it today.' Snarlfang just nodded gruffly. "Very well Mr. Potter. Go through the door there and I will be inside in but a moment." "Yes sir, and thank you for squeezing me in. I apologize if I have interrupted anything that you were doing. I know a goblin's time is just as valuable as anyone else's." Harry replied. This shocked Snarlfang and Griphook, but Griphook less so, having already been shocked by this boy several times in only a few minutes. Snarlfang just opened the door for Harry, letting him into the room.

The room was empty except for a small desk with a lot of parchment papers on it. A few moments passed and the goblin Snarlfang came in carrying a few things. "Alright lad, this is a special quill and ink set. You will need to fill the container for the ink with blood and the quill will automatically start writing out your inheritance test onto a piece of parchment. Grimacing, Harry did as told, cutting his palm letting the blood drain into the container. Once filled, the goblin handed Harry a potion to drink. "It will heal the wound." is all he said as Harry downed it, feeling the wound close shut, not even leaving a scar. Then he saw the quill start glowing, dip itself into the blood, and start scribbling quickly onto the parchment on the desk.

Name: Hadrian Jameson Potter

Parents: Jameson Charles potter and Lilith Anne Potter nee Evans.

Lordships: Potter: Last remaining heir. Gryffindor: Last remaining heir. Slytherin: Last remaining heir, and by conquest. Ambrose: Last remaining heir. Black: Heir, Sirius Orion Black current head.

Talents: Defense (master), Dark Arts (master), Transfiguration (Prodigy), Potions (prodigy), Metamorph (limited, blocked.) Soul bond, Parsel magic, Parsel speak, Sword user (affinity), Eidict memory (blocked)

Blocks: Metamorph (blocked), Eidect memory (blocked), Core (80% blocked), Familiar (phoenix, blocked), Malnourished, Abused Greatly, Stunted growth.

Signet Rings and Wizengamot votes: Potter (1), Gryffindor (2), Slytherin (2), Ambrose (4)

To say Harry was shocked was an understatement. Seeing all of his blocks made him almost explode right then and there. But being around goblins, he decided to keep himself calm. "Well you are quite a powerful little guy aren't you? Your magic rolls off you in waves. And yet your core is blocked so you're using less that 20% of it. That is simply amazing. Well, we shall address said blocks here in but a moment. First, to your family signet rings, they may address some of the blocks themselves." the goblin said, waving his hand summoning all of the signet rings before him in small boxes.

"Once all of them are on all of the vaults here for them will link together. At least 3 of those vaults haven't been active in quite some time, but first, put on the Potter ring then go by how the test listed them. They will all shrink down and merge into one ring." Harry listened, and did so. Starting with the Potter ring, he slid it onto his finger, feeling it pulse then shrink down to fit him. He started to glow for a second before the sound of glass shattering could be heard. Suddenly Harry's hair started changing color then settled back down to his normal black. Then, he felt like he was in a fog for a second. It suddenly lifted. All the sudden, he could remember every detail of everything that had ever happened to him or that he had read.

"Well that one seems to have taken care of the metamorph block and memory block and some of your core block as well. Now, onto the others." Harry simply nodded. One by one, the rings went onto his finger, finishing with the Ambrose ring. And suddenly, an even louder shattering could be heard. "Well now, that seems to have removed the rest of the blocks which is a very good thing. Because, while we could have removed them for you, the process would have been quite painful." the goblin said. Smiling weakly, Harry was grateful to have been spared that pain.

"Now, each of the votes you have in the Wizengamot you won't be allowed to access till your majority of 17 years, but you do have the titles that come with each ring. Being the last of the descendants makes you a semi emancipated minor. While you will still have to live with a guardian, you will be able to perform magic without worry about the underage sorcery act, though you still have to keep to the secrecy act and you get all of the benefits of being a lord as well. You can flip through whichever of the rings you wish to be showing at the time by willing it to change to that ring. Or, you can wear all of them at the same time just on different fingers by doing the same. They will also become invisible if you wish them to be." Nodding, Harry asked. "Sir, um I have read the Ambrose family name before but I am certain that I don't know anyone from that family line." Snarlfang was shocked but still smiled at the young man.

"Well Lord Potter, the Ambrose family name is the family name that has the pleasantness of claiming Merlin himself as the one who used to head it." Harry's jaw almost hit the floor at hearing that. He was descended from one of the greatest wizards ever to live, as well as two of the founders of the very school he was going to. "Now, as I told you, all of your vaults have been tied together. You now own several companies and have part ownership of several others, as well as quite a list of properties. A list of which will be drawn up and owled to you within the next few days. It is safe to assume now young man that you are one of the richest people in all the world, muggle or wizarding. You have enough money to if you spend even a million a week you won't go broke for around 3 to 4 wizard lifetimes, though the potter line men have always had jobs, never taking more then what they absolutely have to from their vaults. So, basically you can do anything and everything you could ever want."

Smiling Harry was already starting to formulate a plan in his head of the things he was going to do and needed to do. "Sir, can I ask that I get the account manager for my vaults to purchase a muggle company called Grunnings for me? It is my uncle's company, and he always is telling everyone about how it is always every year more profitable than the last." Smiling, which scared Harry, the goblin said, "I believe that can be arranged Lord Potter. I will have your account manager owl you once that is taken care of as well. Now, would you like a tour of your vaults?" "Yes please" Harry replied. "Good, then I will have Griphook show you through your new vaults."

Smiling, Harry said, "I don't want to be improper but I have a few other ideas about investing. I believe they will return a lot in their profits for both me and Gringotts." shocked once again, the goblin replied. "Well that will be something you have to address with your account manager Lord Potter, but owl him with your ideas or come here and speak with him about them. I am certain he would like to hear your ideas. Now, for contracts and such you will have to write out your full name, which when Gringotts sends you letters, they will always address you as such. With all of your lordships and titles it will be Hadrian Jameson Potter-Gryffindor-Slytherin-Ambrose. Though I would only tell that to people you completely trust as your full name can be used against you."

"That won't be a problem sir, and thank you again for all your help." Snarlfang just nodded as Harry left the room. Harry toured all of his vaults, grabbing a few bits and pieces from each, mainly books that he found concerning his new abilities and talents. Harry also found out before he left, from Griphook, that in order to make purchases he only needs to use his signet rings and stamp on a bank note and the funds would be withdrawn from the respective accounts. Then as Harry left Gringotts with new books in tow and a few other things he started planning what he would read first and his first actions once he reached Hogwarts. He spent most of the rest of his day reading over the books, finding that his eidetic memory talent was quite useful in remembering what he read, before he finally lay down for the night in his room at the Leaky Cauldron.
