Chapter 3:


8 years had past since the death of his parents and the downfall of the evil Dark Lord, yet young Harry Potter was still at 4 Privet Drive, but fast asleep in his bedroom, well Dudley's second bedroom. The Dursleys' house had 4 bedrooms. One was for Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon, another was for his cousin Dudley, another was for his toys and possessions to keep, and finally, the last fro for Uncle Vernon's sister, Majorie Dursley, they called her Aunt Marge.

Aunt Petunia was knocking loud on his bedroom door. "Up, Harry, get up," said Aunt Petunia. Harry woke up very tired.

Harry Potter was a beautiful sweet boy of 8 with pure emerald green eyes. He had sleek jet black hair, knobbly knees. he looked extremely like his father James Potter. He wore full moon glasses. He liked his appearance of his lightning scar on his forehead.

Today was Dudley's birthday, Dudley began knocking on the Harry's bedroom door. "Wake up cousin, There is a huge party today, NOW!" he said excitedly. Harry got up from bed and walked into the kitchens.

"Good morning, Harry" she said.

"Good morning, Aunt Petunia." replied Harry and then starting cooking bacon.

"Mornin' cousin." Dudley said, hugging Harry. Harry was his favourite cousin. Harry hugged Dudley and said "Happy Birthday Dud."

"I want everything to be perfect for my Dudley's special day."

Aunt Petunia put her hands on Dudley eyes covering them and leading them to the other side of the room where there were mounds of presents. Aunt Petunia uncovered Dudley's eyes and Dudley gasped seeing them. "Wow!" exclaimed Dudley. Just then there was a knock on the door. "Get the door, boy, That'll be Marge" said Vernon. Harry went to get the door and at the doorway stood a large woman who resembled Vernon, it was Aunt Marge, she was the dominant woman of the family, she would even make Vernon look shy. "Where's my Dudders, where's my neffy poo" she said.

Throwing the suitcase at Harry knocking the wind out of him. Aunt Marge walked in the kitchen and gave Dudley a hug and planted a huge kiss on his cheek. "Harry Birthday, Duddy." she said. The Dursleys had treated Harry nicely but Aunt Marge regarded Harry as a freak, abnormal and a waste of space. "Right boy, you are still here are you?".

"Yes" said Harry. "Don't say yes in that ungrateful way, it is damn good of my brother to keep you, he'd have been straight to an orphanage if he'd dumped on my doorstep". Uncle Vernon then scolded Marge. "Marge, that is enough, Harry is a loving child and is part of the family" said Vernon.

"Harry, we have a bit of a surprise for you too" he said smiling.

Half an hour later there was a huge party at front of the house where everybody was enjoying, even Harry. Vernon told Harry to bring the cake for Dudley and Harry went inside and brought out a large chocolate cake from the kitchen and onto the front of the house. "Now let's sing to Dudley". They all sang Happy Birthday to Dudley. When they finish they heard sirens not so faraway from Privet Drive and then half a minute a large convoy of police cars and motorcycles and strange looking people wearing robes and long cloaks appeared and and the cars parked at Number 4 Privet Drive. There was a large black limousine in the middle of the convoy. A man in a suit got out from a black land rover that was also included in the convoy. He walked over to Number 4, and said out loud.

"We are looking for a young Mr Harry James Potter, would he please stand?". Harry walked nervously over to the man, "I am Harry Potter." Harry said walking over, nervously.

The man looked at Harry suspiciously walked over to him and lifted his hair bangs and saw the lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead and gasped, he then turned his head towards the others with him and smiled saying. "We've found him".

Everyone from the convoy looked pleased and happy with tears in their eyes.

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Major Arthur Williams of the Royal Navy" said the man facing Harry. He then faced the party guests. "Everybody, go back to the party.", pointing them towards the party. Everybody did as they were told.

"We have been looking for you for the past 7 years and finally we have found you, tell me something, do you anything about your heritage or your family?" asked Major Williams. Harry replied "I only know know, that they died many years ago, as told by, my Aunt and Uncle, and their names are James and Lily Potter."

Uncle Vernon walked forward to Major Williams, "It was about time you showed up, it was I who called you here, I am Vernon Dursley."

"Ah yes, I see" replied Williams. "We have not told Harry anything yet about his parents, because I felt that it was not the right time for him to know, I think it is best if you were to tell him about his family". Harry was looking at this with a lot of confusion. What was his family hiding from him and why did they hide something from him?.

"Uncle Vernon, what is all of this about?" said Harry, with a raised voice. "Harry, listen son, your parents were very rich people, you are, in fact, a member of the Royal Family, your father, James Potter is a first cousin of Her Majesty The Queen and his family goes back to the Roman Conquest of Great Britain." said Vernon with happy look on his face. "I have called these people here is because now it is time for you to back to the world of your parents, and listen you are always welcome here."

Harry was looking absolutely stunned as to what they were saying. Vernon then faced Williams. "Please take care of him, he is all yours now." said Vernon.

"Don't worry, Mr. Dursley, he is in very good hands" said Williams. "Well, this is it, go and enjoy your life, son" said Vernon giving Harry a goodbye hug. Petunia and Dudley did the same.

Major Williams then took Harry by the arm and put him in the limousine and sat himself in it too after instructing the Police to go get Harry's belongings. The party guests watch him go away in such style. After that the convoy left Privet Drive, Surrey and headed straight back to Buckingham Palace in London. It took over an hour for the convoy to reach the Palace. Major Williams led Harry to the Hall Room, where Albus Dumbledore, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh, The Queen Mother and Hagrid were waiting anxiously for Harry. When Harry arrived, Everyone looked excited to see him, especially Dumbledore, with tears in their eyes. They brought Harry before The Queen and he bowed before her.

"Rise" said the Queen. "Young Harry, how are you?" asked the Queen happily.

"I am fine, Your Majesty". replied Harry smiling.

"Harry, even though you are my first cousin please call me Aunt Elizabeth or just Elizabeth" said the Queen.

"Okay, Auntie" said Harry with a smile.

"Harry, I would like to tell you something about yourself that you may not know" said the Queen."You are a wizard, you are able to do magic". "I am a what?" asked Harry astonished. "A wizard, a sorcerer, a practitioner of magic, sweetheart, your father was too". explained the Queen.

"That's impossible" said Harry. "No, it is possible, Harry" said the Queen. She went on telling him about the amazing Wizarding World and his parents and then started to introduce him to the people present there.

"This is Grand Duke Albus Dumbledore, Harry, Your great grandfather and he is your primary magical guardian, assigned by your parents, he is also the Headmaster of the school that you will attend in future. Albus and I will now look after you and raise you." introducing Dumbledore to Harry. Albus came forward, hugged and kissed Harry with tears in his eyes. "I am so finally glad to see you again, my young child, Harry". "I thought it best to deliver you to them and I even left a note to them to look after you, I will explain later why you had to be delivered to the Dursley's and how your parents passed away".

"Call me Granddad Harry, your father and mother were everything to me, I loved them more than everything and raised them as my own children" said Albus.

"Okay Granddad." said Harry with tears of joy in his eyes. He never imagined he would have another huge loving family who loves him more than anyone even themselves. "You look so extraordinarily like your father, Harry, but your eyes, you have your mother's eyes, Lily's eyes." said Albus.

"Indeed he does" said The Queen

"This is Professor Severus Snape" said Dumbledore notioning a man with greasy black hair, hooked nose and long black robes. who smiled at Harry and gave him a hug and a kiss. "He was your mother's cousin" said Dumbledore. "Call me Uncle Severus, Harry" said Snape with tears in his eyes. "Nice to meet you too Uncle" said Harry.

"This is Rubeus Hagrid, Harry". said Dumbledore pointing to Hagrid. "It is a pleasure and honor ter meet yeh, Yer Highness, please call me Hagrid". said Hagrid. "Please call me Harry, Hagrid" and he gave Harry a hug.

"Let me show you to your room, Harry" said Dumbledore. He took Harry upstairs with the Queen and everyone following and opened a door to room that was huge enough for the Dursley's house to fit in. In fact two Dursley house's.

"This is your new room, my dear boy" said Albus.

"Who else is living here?" asked Harry.

"No-one, this is all yours" said Albus.

"Really, I'll be living here" said Harry, happily.

"Yes, but not always here, you have own your properties and you will be living with me at Dumbledore Manor for some time" said Dumbledore.

"Indeed" said The Queen.

"Elizabeth, I think it best if Harry were to go to Gringotts Bank to go over his titles". said Albus to the Queen.

"I was getting under the impression of that myself, Uncle". said the Queen.

"If you don' min, I'll take 'im Professor" suggested Hagrid.

"Thank you, Hagrid, we can always count on you." said Dumbledore.

"Uncle Albus, we would like some bodyguards for young Harry as well for our own peace of mind". said the Queen.

"Absolutely" said Dumbledore.

Harry then walked back out of the hall and into the limousine and headed to the middle of London. they stopped when Hagrid they had told them they arrived. They stopped at a tiny grubby looking pub where they entered. Everyone seemed to know Hagrid; they waved and smiled at him, and the bartender reached for a glass, saying, "Ah Hagrid, the usual I presume?". "No thanks Tom important business help young Harry here get his stuff at Gringotts" said Hagrid clapping his great hand on Harry's shoulder and making Harry's knees buckle. "Bless my soul," whispered the old bartender, "It's Harry Potter", looking at Harry with huge eyes.

The whole room turned silent and turned to face Harry with shock.

A man in a hat got up from his chair and shook Harry's hand said happily "Welcome back, Your Highness, welcome back". An old woman who smoking a pipe walked to Harry and shook his hand as well, "Doris Crockford, Your Highness, I cannot believe I'm meeting you at last" she said. Another man in violet top hat went to Harry and shook his hand, "A honor, Your Highness, Diggle's the name, Dedalus Diggle" with a bow. Harry seemed to recall meeting this man once and then remembered. "I've seen you before!" said Harry happily. "You bowed to me once in a shop two years ago". Dedalus Diggle's top hat fell off in excitement, "He remembers!, did you hear that?, he remembers me!" he said happily. Everyone in the room including noblemen and minor aristocrats came forward to shake Harry's hand and welcoming him back to the Wizarding World. A pale young man in purple turban made his way forward, very nervously. One of his eyes was twitching. "Hello Professor, I didn't see you there!" said Hagrid. "Harry, this is Professor Quirrell he will be one of your teachers at Hogwarts." "Your Highness," stammered Professor Quirrell, grasping Harry's hand, "c-can't t-tell you how p- pleased I am to meet you". "Very nice to meet you Professor Quirrell" said Harry. It took almost ten minutes to get away from them all. At last, Hagrid managed to make himself heard over the babble.

"Must go now" said Hagrid. Hagrid led them through the bar and out into a small, walled courtyard, where there was nothing but a trash can and a few weeds. Hagrid grinned at Harry. "Told yeh, didn't I? Told yeh you was famous".

"But why am I famous Hagrid, all those people back there, how is it they know who I am?" asked Harry.

"I'm not exactly sure I'm the righ' person to tell yeh tha' Harry" said Hagrid. "But hey, enjoy it, me boy" said Hagrid happily.

Even Professor Quirrell was tremblin' ter meet yeh - mind you, he's usually tremblin'." "Is he always that nervous?" "Oh, yeah. Poor bloke. but a brilliant mind. He was fine while he was studyin' outta books but then he took a year off ter get some firsthand experience... They say he met vampires in the Black Forest of Albania, and there was a nasty bit o' trouble with a hag — never been the same since. Scared of the students, scared of his own subject — now, where's me umbrella?" Vampires? Hags? Harry's head was swimming. Hagrid, meanwhile, was counting bricks in the wall above the trash can. "Three up... two across..." he muttered. "Right, stand back, Harry." He tapped the wall three times with the point of his umbrella. The brick he had touched quivered — it wriggled — in the middle, a small hole appeared — it grew wider and wider — a second later they were facing an archway large enough even for Hagrid, an archway onto a cobbled street that twisted and turned out of sight. "Welcome, Harry" said Hagrid, "to Diagon Alley." He grinned at Harry's amazement. They stepped through the archway.

Harry, Hagrid and the bodyguards made their way through Diagon Alley where most people looked stunned Harry and bowing to him. They finally got down to a enormous snowy white building at the very end of the streets. "Welcome to Gringotts Bank, Harry" said Hagrid. As they got to the doors, they automatically opened for him and standing right its burnished bronze doors, wearing a uniform of scarlet and gold were a pair of creatures Harry had seen never seen in his life, the creatures bowed to them and open the the silver doors in front of them, they were now in a vast marble hall where there were literally hundreds of those creatures had seen when he entered.

"Uh Hagrid, what exactly were these things?" said Harry, "They're goblins Harry, clever as they come, goblins, but not the most friendly of beasts, best stay close." replied Hagrid as if it were serious. The goblins were about a head shorter than Harry. They had swarthy, clever faces, pointed beards and, Harry noticed, very long fingers and feet.

They made their way to the head table at the end of the hall where an elderly goblin dressed in pure gold was seated at the chair. As they approached Hagrid cleared his throat said to the goblin, "Good mornin, His Royal Highness Prince Harry Potter wishes to make a withdrawal".

Hearing this all the other goblins stopped what they were doing and looked at the young Prince with awe. Harry watched all them bow their heads to Harry.

The goblin looked at Harry with a smile and said "Ah, and does His Highness have his key for his safe, Sir". "Oh wait a minute got it here somewhere," said Hagrid, and he started emptying his pockets onto the counter, scattering a handful of moldy dog biscuits over the goblin's book of numbers. The goblin wrinkled his nose. Harry watched the goblin on their right weighing a pile of rubies as big as glowing coals. "Got it," said Hagrid at last, holding up a tiny golden key. The goblin looked at it closely. "That seems to be in order." "An' I've also got a letter here from Lord Professor Dumbledore," said Hagrid importantly, throwing out his chest. "It's about the You-Know-What in vault seven hundred and thirteen." The goblin read the letter carefully. "Very well," he said, handing it back to Hagrid, "I will have someone take you down to both vaults later on Sir but first I believe His Highness Prince Harry would like to go over his holdings. "Yes sir" said Harry.

"Very well we shall adjourn to my office, Your Highness" said the goblin. they made their way to a large ornate room with a desk and books all over the place. "Forgive me for not introducing myself before, Your Highness, I am Director Ragnok of Gringotts". He held out his hand and Harry shook it and said "Pleasure to meet you".

Ragnok then proceeded to take out some books from the shelf and then place a large piece of parchment on the table of Harry and silver knife. "Your Highness to go over your holdings please take the dagger and let a drop of your blood fall on the parchment, the magics within the parchment shall automatically reveal your holdings. Harry made a small cut in his finger and let a drop of blood fall on the parchment, the cut immediately healed and the drop of blood that fell on the parchment disappeared instantly and half a second, there were lines of red that were forming into words from the drop fell.

Current Styling: His Royal Highness, Hadrian James Potter, Prince of Scotland

Harry was absolutely flabbergasted as to how many titles he had, no one in the whole world, could have this many titles, he was certain that these titles came with a lot of influence and political power.

"Oh My God, this is a joke isn't right? I mean I can't possibly have this many titles" asked Harry astonished.

"Your Highness, I assure that this is no joke, what is written here is complete and pure truth and this cannot forged as it is impossible and one would lose everything if they try to do that" said Ragnok. Harry then started to believe Ragnok on what he said about holdings.

"What is with these titles?" asked Harry surprised.

"These titles are clearly of which houses you are the rightful heir." the goblin said. "You see there are many houses that have more importance than others and it is clearly stated that you have the majority of all the houses in your account."

"If I own this many houses, then exactly, how much wealth do I have?" asked Harry. The goblin took the key from Hagrid pressed it onto an other piece of parchment and the following appeared.

Name: Hadrian James Potter

Trust Vault: 10m Galleons

Full Magical Vault:

It is forbidden until the claimant is emancipated they reach majority

"I apologise for this, Your Highness. It is written that you cannot access your full magical vault until you are emancipated or of age, however this trust vault is enough for you to make your living for now." said Griphook.

"Why not?, I have right on this wealth" said Harry angrily.

"You do indeed Your Highness, however it is the law that forbids this for minors to inherit their wealth until they reach their majority" said the goblin. "We cannot do anything. However there is no need to fear, You Highness, for theft or unauthorised money paying from your accounts, if this would happen then we are well within our rights to seize their properties with interests." said the goblin with a warm smile. However this states that you can only take your money from your trust vault for now."

Harry sighed, since there was nothing he could do about this he would have to wait until he is emancipated or he reaches his majority.

"Very well, I would like to take some money out of my trust vault." said Harry.

"Very well, Your Highness, please follow me" said the goblin. They took a wild cart ride to Harry's trust vault.

"Vault 687" said the goblin.

"Lamp please." said the goblin. Hagrid handed him the lamp from the cart. The goblin took the lamp from the giant and then walked towards the vault door. Hagrid and Harry followed.

"Key, please" said Griphook. Hagrid gave the goblin the key, who opened the door. Green smoke came billowing out and Harry gasped. Inside were small mountains of gold coins heaps of silvers and bronze. Harry took a bag full of them and them hurried out.

"Vault 713, now please and can we got a bit slow" said Hagrid.

"One speed only" said Griphook. They took another wild cart ride to the vault.

"Vault 713" said the goblin.

"What's in there, Hagrid?" asked Harry.

"I can' tell yeh that Harry, only Professor Dumbledore can explain what is in there, top secret that is." said Hagrid. Griphook stroked the door with his long finger and the door simply melted away. "If anyone but the owner or a Gringotts goblin would try that then they would be sucked through the door and trapped inside there".

"How often do you check if anyone is inside" asked Harry nervous.

"Once every ten years, Your Highness" said Griphook with a evil looking smile. Inside there was just a small grubby little package which Hagrid picked up. They took one more wild cart ride back to the hall where Ragnok was waiting for them.

"Before you leave Your Highness I would like to give you these books of the properties you and the deeds to all your property as well as a large safe for you to take home and a wallet linked to your account". Ragnok gave them the safe and they made there way out of Gringotts with the money and things get got from Gringotts.

"Now Harry before we get back ter the Palace, we best get you some brand new smart clothes as it is Her Majesty's wish". They left the Gringotts Bank and Diagon Alley. Harry taken some muggle money as well and went a highly popular shop and they wanted to buy some new suits.

The owner took measurements of Harry and then took out some beautiful suits for Harry to try on. Harry bought some silk and velvet suits from the shop and then they went back to Buckingham Palace in the limo with Harry in a brand new suit. It took half an hour to get back to the Palace due to the traffic.
