Percy said Hello to his family and goodbye to Bill and Fleur who were just leaving.
"Harry lets go talk in the other room," Percy requested.
"That sounds fine Percy," Harry replied.
They went into the living room and sat down. Harry was nervous and excited at the same time.
"So as you know Lupin and Snape's Will you were left something," Percy stated.
"In Lupin's will it leaves you all his photo albums and complete collection of books." Percy pulled something out of his bag and handed them over to Harry. Percy shrunk the bookcase filled with different books and photo albums. Harry put them aside for after so he could have Hermione un-shrink them.
"Now in Snape's will it says to leave you... everything in his vault at Gringotts. He also states here that there will be a letter explaining everything. So with that I shall leave you the key and you will be all set." Percy lastly stated.
Harry was shocked and did not know what to say, just muttered, "Thanks."
Harry and Percy went into the kitchen and saw everyone sitting down eating apple crisp.
Mrs.Weasey said, "Percy, Harry sit have some apple crisp!"
Harry automatically sat in between Ginny and Ron. Percy sat and proclaimed,"I guess I will stay to have apple crisp, it is the best Mum."
Ron, who currently had his mouth full of it, tried to talk but then decided to just nod. Harry then explained to Ron, Hermione, and Ginny about what was left to him. Ginny and Hermione gasped. Harry pulled out the little bookcase and Hermione said, "Oh I will un-shrink that after." Harry smiled at her. Ron said, "Well let's go check out what exactly is in Snape's vault, man he must have really loved your Mom." Harry just nodded thinking it all through. Snape at first must have wanted to leave everything to his mother Lily but since she died, it went to Harry. Harry did not know what to think so he just gave up and started talking to everyone else.
Then after a while, he decided to just listen instead. His mind started wandering, he started thinking of Ginny, he loved her, he knew it, and he wanted to marry her. However, not right away, maybe in a year. He had planned that they would be engaged during their last year in Hogwarts. Hinny was going to be in Harry's classes. Professor McGonagall approved her because of her outstanding scores. It would not be that hard for Ginny at all. She was actually looking forward to it. She wanted to work in the Ministry or become a Healer.
Then Harry was snapped out of his thinking and Ron asked, "Harry want to go to Gringotts now?" Harry answered, "Yes lets go and after we can head over to Eeylops Owl Emporium, because umm... after losing Hedwig I need another owl."
Harry looked down when he said her name, Hedwig he was still so ashamed that she died.
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and George used the Floo Network to get to Diagon Alley. George was going to work at his shop.
The four of them headed for Gringotts. Harry held onto the key in his pocket tightly, he was quite nervous of what was going to be in Snape's vault. He went to the desk and presented the key to the Goblin. The Goblin said, "Ah Mr. Potter we have been waiting for you. You have to sign Mr. Lupin's Will stating that he son can have access to it when he gets older." The Goblin passed Harry a long piece of parchment and a quill. Harry quickly signed it anxious to go to Snape's vault. Harry handed it back and the Goblin said, "Follow me."
They arrived to Snapes vault. The Goblin unlocked it and Harry walked in first. Inside there were small piles of Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts. Then a bookcase of books, a few photo albums, a few picture frames, a dragon hide bag, a big gold cauldron, and finally a little chest. Harry approached the chest, opened it carefully, and found inside jewelry and a letter. It read:
Dear Harry Potter,
By now you must know many things about me. For one I loved Your Mother deeply. I knew her before attending Hogwarts. When you used to get angry it reminded me of your Mother's way of being angry too.
I assume you could careless about that, so to get to the point you should also know that I was under Dumbledore's order when I killed him, and under his order's when I was with Voldemort. You should also, know that by now too I expect. You must be wondering why I gave you everything, when I thought you were a spitting image of your Father, well the reason is I had one else to give it to. If your Mother Lily was alive it would have went to her. Therefore, I figured since you are her son, who also is James's son, which is something I never liked. But, Dumbledore told me you had a side like Lily, a caring side so I guess I will go with his word on that one. I hope you understand and hope you do not hate me as much now.
Good luck in Life.
Sincerely,
Severus Snape
P.S.
I never meant to have George lose an ear. Please send my regards to the Weasley Family. One last thing your eyes remind me of Lily's.
Harry stared at the letter. Snape must have written this letter after he went to Grimmauld Place and got the picture and letter of Lily, his Mother. He suddenly felt bad for Snape. I hope you understand and hope you do not hate me as much now. Harry did not hate him anymore for sure, he felt bad for him.
"What does the letter say?" Ron asked.
"A lot," was all Harry managed to get out.
Harry passed the letter over to Ron.
"Wow, I feel bad for this bloke," Ron practically yelled.
"RON!" Hermione and Ginny yelled.
Harry laughed. Then he noticed a watch inside it was gold, he turned it over and noticed his Mother's handwriting. With lots of Love, Lily. Harry stared at it. The watch must have been a Christmas gift or something when they were friends in Hogwarts. He tried it on and it fit perfectly. He beamed and smiled to himself.
Then Harry said, "Why don't we take this stuff home with us and look through it all."
Ginny answered, "That sounds great Harry."
They all continued to gather the new treasures and shrink them to size. Harry put everything in the dragon hide bag. Then speaking to the Goblin Harry asked, "Can you please transfer this money to Ron Weasley's vault?"
A shocked Ron said, "No way mate I cannot take your money!"
Harry responded, "Yes you are I do not need it! Take it!" Then in a whisper, "For you and Hermione."
Ron did not argue anymore as they left the vault. Harry then asked the Goblin if he could go into his vault and take some money for himself.
After they headed of to Eeylops Owl Emporium. Harry then told Ginny, "Help me pick out an owl." Ginny was quite excited about this so she and Harry looked at every owl before choosing. Hermione wanted to go to Flourish and Botts, so Ron took her while Harry and Ginny looked for an owl. There were so many different kinds. Harry said he did not want a black one to Ginny and she agreed earlier. "This one's kind of cool," Harry said. It was brown and boring. "No, I like this one," Ginny said, it had white and brown fur with speckles. Harry looked at it and then Ginny and declared, "We will take it." He paid the wizard and left holding hands with Ginny. "Sorry Harry but the one I picked out was way better," Ginny bragged jokingly. Harry replied, "Actually Ginny I am going to agree with you mine was pretty boring looking." They laughed together and walked off to find Hermione and Ron.
Back at the Burrow the four were checking out all the things Harry received my Lupin and Snape. Hermione was fascinated with the books; she said she was going to get reading them right away. Ron said that the cauldron must have been extremely expensive for it to be pure gold. Ginny was examining the jewelry, and found many pretty bracelets. Harry was now looking through each photo album starting with Lupin's first. It had many pictures of his Father and his three friends, Lupin, Sirius, and Pettigrew. There was one picture with his father on a broom chasing after Sirius he liked this picture especially. Ginny came over and asked, "Oh, is that your Dad and Sirius?" Harry nodded.
After looking through all the pictures of when they were young he came across pictures of his parents wedding it looked like. His Mother was beautiful, and his Father well... handsome. A tear trickled down his face. Ginny came over, hugged him tightly, and whispered in his ear, "Its ok Harry, I am here."
Harry forced a smile and felt relieved. He continued looking and later on Hermione, and Ron started looking through the albums too. Harry then came across the same picture he had found in Grimmauld Place, the picture of him as a baby zooming on a broom with his Mum and Dad. He smiled and Ginny cooed, "Oh Harry you were such a cute baby."
Hermione said to Ginny, "Told ya."
They continued looking at the pictures that Lupin gave him until he remembered the one's Snape gave him. He opened the album and saw pictured of his Mother from when she was small to when she was older. Some had Aunt Petunia. Then he came across a picture of his Mum with Snape. They were happy in the picture smiling and waving. Harry turned the page to find a picture of his Mum and Dad when they were young. They all laughed when he saw a picture of Harry's Mum slapping Harry's Dad in the face.
They continued to look until Mrs. Weasley called to them to go and eat something. Then before Ron and Harry went downstairs Harry asked Ron, "Want to go pick out the rings tomorrow? So we will have them for the rest of the week just incase anything good happens." Ron agreed. Everything felt perfect to Harry. He was very happy.
