Gringotts Wizarding Bank,
Conference Room 3, For Invited Guest with Invitations Only
The End of the Closed Reading of the Wills of Lord James Potter and Lady Lily Potter

They all stared at the fading image of James Potter as the stone disk turns black. Many of them were in a state of disbelief and shock while a few were more resigned. Sirius and Remus could more or less guess what James and Lily would probably say in their Will before they even heard them.

Remus was slightly shocked that James gave him a cottage and a large amount of galleon. It's not like he expected James to give him something but he knew that James and Sirius would probably write something in their will about giving him something that he can't return back. And James did just that; he gave him a house and some galleons to help him, knowing that as a werewolf, Remus would find it hard getting a stable job.

He looked around and saw Sirius whispering to his father, both of them looking serious. The Longbottoms was already making their way to the front to get what was left to them by James and Lily. They were also quietly talking to each other, probably about James's announcement of Harry's parentage. Snape was also making his way to the front, staying a bit further from the Longbottoms as he waited for his turn.

What had him worried the most was Albus. Remus did not know what it was but his Moony was howling in warning about how Albus is currently a danger to him and the people in the room. He noticed that even though Albus had a mild gentle expression on his face, his eyes had a hardness in them. That had him and his wolf on edge, knowing that Albus was hiding something hard under his grandfatherly mask. He shuddered lightly.

Remus was not the only one who had notice the slight change in Albus. He knew that the goblin, Snape and both the Black men had noticed it too as they kept a close eye on Albus however discreetly that might be. The only ones that did not notice the change were the Longbottoms.

The Longbottoms left soon after they had a few words with Sirius. From his enhanced hearing, he heard them talk about visiting Harry and James once Sirius had them settled. They talked about planning a play date between their son Neville and Harry. After promising to keep in contact, they left.

He then saw Sirius cornered Snape before he could leave the room and backed him to a corner to have a little chat. From what he could gather from the snippets of conversation he overheard, Sirius was apologizing to Snape and asked him if they could meet some other time to discuss the arrangement of Snape being Harry's godfather. Snape just sneered at Sirius before agreeing to floo him later and left the room.

That left him, Albus, Sirius and his father in the room with the goblin sneering at them even as it watched them suspiciously. There was a long heavy silence before Albus spoke.

"Are you sure this is the right thing to do Sirius?" Albus said in a concern grandfatherly voice, his eyes showing his concern as he looked at Sirius while ignoring Orion even though he stood beside Sirius.

Sirius stiffed and avoided looking into Albus's eyes. "This is the last wishes of James and Lily, Albus. By Magic's Will, it is wrong to ignore it. Even you know that. If ignored, Magic will feel slighted and retaliate. Please respect their wishes."

The only reaction to the answer given by Sirius was a slight tightening of Albus's jaws. But even that smoothen out few seconds later. If one was not watching Albus closely, they would miss it.

"I see," said Albus in a grave voice. "I hope you know what you are doing, Sirius, and not cause their deaths in the end." Sirius flinched but did not reply back. Orion sneered at Albus who was trying to guilt trip his son in to doing something. Manipulative old fool.

When there was no reply, Albus left the room after he told the goblin that he will be back later to return the Cloak.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster's Office

The fireplace flashed green and out stepped Albus. He casted spells so that he would be left alone for a few hours. Pacing in front of his desk, his thoughts were going into overdrive. All his plans to place Harry with the Dursleys were useless. He can't use the excuse of bloodwards because the Blacks would definitely find loopholes to it because of Dursleys hatred to anything magical.

Damnit! How could James have found out so soon about his plans for Harry?! Why can't James just die from the attack?! Why must Sirius be the first to arrive at the house?! This is not how it was supposed to go! After years of planning, he was just about to get what he deserved and more but nooo! The ungrateful brat just had to change his will and threaten me, ME of all people!

Rage clouded his senses and he turned to face a harmless chair that was in his way and blasted it to pieces. He kept shooting spells on the random items in his office, delighted by the sounds of things breaking, wishing that it was James Potter and Sirius Black instead. How dare they defy him after everything he has done for them!

Fawkes squawk in alarm at the first sight of madness and flashed away to safety. Once again he wondered how he could get caught his mad old coot and was forced to bond with him. He can't wait to get rid of the old coot. Only his true bonded would be able to break this false bond enforced on him. He waited for so long and finally felt his true bonded being born about a year ago. Oh how he just can't wait till the day comes!

Gringotts Wizarding Bank,
Private Room 1, after the readings of Wills of James & Lily Potter

The goblin brought them to a different room after Dumbledore left. The room was much smaller than the conference room. From what Orion could see, it was also much more strongly warded. When they were all seated, the goblin took out another disk from James Potter's folder and demanded that they swear a secrecy vow to protect what they would learn from the disk. The goblin explained that they will be learning Potter Family secrets so the vow was necessary.

After all of them have sworn, the goblin activated the disk. The image of James in this disk was different from the image at the reading of wills. This James was younger and looked healthy. It was obvious that this disk was from before he changed his will at the hospital.

"If you are watching this, it means that everyone in the Potter family is dead except for my son. I made this as a precaution just in case Lily and I died and there was no one to teach Harry about the Potter family history. There are many things that Harry needs to learn about our history, the good and the bad.

The Potter were not known as Potters in the beginning. We Potter have changed our surnames many times in the past to hide ourselves from our enemies. The current generations of Potters were mostly Gryffindors and Light but in the mostly forgotten past, there were many Neutral and Dark Potter witches and wizards. Our history, in truth, is steeped with darkness and death.

We, Potters, are descendants from the Peverells. Many think that the Peverell brothers' story is just a children's fairytale but the truth is that it is somewhat real. The real story behind it is that the Peverell brothers are Necromancers, the Light, the Dark and the Grey. The first brother, Antioch, was a Light Necromancer who craves power. He made the Elder wand, the most powerful wand in the world. But he also died because of it. His greed led him to his death when he boasted about the wand's power. There is no descendent from him as recorded by the Peverell family tree and family ledger.

The second brother, Cadmus, was a Dark Necromancer. He lost his first true love, a young fiancée to the muggles. His fiancée was a muggleborn who was helping the sick at a muggle village when the paranoid God-fearing villagers dragged her through the village and burned her alive. Cadmus lost his mind after that and hated the muggles with a passion. He was obsessed with getting his first love back and finally made the Resurrection Stone. But the Resurrection Stone does not bring the dead to life, it only brings the sprit to this world. Soon the spirit of his love turned cold and sad, wanting him to get on with his life and forget her. Cadmus, not wanting to part with his love killed himself to join her. Cadmus married twice in his life. The first wife was a descendant of Slytherin and there was a son. The descendants of that son are the Gaunt Family. The second wife was a normal pureblood witch and there was a daughter. The descendants of that daughter are the Black Family. Both children from Cadmus Peverell were disowned by their father and they took on their mother's family name instead. This is recorded in the Peverell family tree and family ledger.

The last brother, Ignotus, was a Grey Necromancer. He had many enemies, his own and his brothers' whom would like to kill him just because they share the same blood and last name, the Peverell. And because he is a Grey Necromancer, there are many who would like to capture him to possess the rare power or kill him so that no one else could have the power. He invented the Invisibility Cloak to protect himself and his family. He also married a descendant of Slytherin where he had one son. His wife was killed by his enemies but he and his son escaped because of the Cloak. They escaped to travel the world and changed their last names to Potters. This is where in history that the Peverell Family name was said to have perished. But in truth, the Potters are the true legal and magical heir to the Peverell Family name and fortune. We have hidden under the Potter name so the old enemies would not be able to track and kill us.

Our history and the Peverell family tree are stored in the Peverell Family vault along with diaries of the Peverell family and the family ledger. Only descendants of the Peverell family and their spouse may enter the vault. Harry, having the Peverell blood in him, can enter the vault. Sirius may enter only if he is accompanied by Harry because you are his biological father. Sirius, you may teach Harry about the Potter history and our connection with the Peverells. But warn him to never reveal that he is descendant from the Peverells unless it is absolutely necessary.

There is another thing that I need to tell you. Harry might be a Parselmouth. I found out the other day when we were playing in the garden and heard Harry hissing to a garden snake. He was laughing and hissing and the snake hissed back. The only one who knows that Harry might be a Parselmouth is me and Lily and now you.

The news of Harry being a Parselmouth does not come as a shock to me because there has been recorded history of Potters who are Parselmouth. But we kept it quiet because it was regarded as a Dark talent by the Ministry. On how we Potter can have children that are Parselmouth is because of our Slytherin ancestors.

Our Peverell ancestors are descendants from Godric Gryffindor's youngest daughter and Slytherin's youngest son. If you were to see the top of the Peverell tree, you would see their names there. Then, throughout the past, there have been records of family members who married their distant cousins who are also descendants from Slytherin. That is why, when a Potter child is gifted with strong family magic, they are likely to be Parselmouth.

If Harry really is a Paselmouth, help him and prepare him for possible situations where his gift is exposed to the public. I don't want my son to be feared and rejected because of his talent.

Enough said on the history lesson about us Potters. Now onto the 'fun' stuff.

Harry needs to be checked for creature inheritance. I have a feeling that he may have one because Harry's magical levels are off the chart. He is powerful enough that any creature inheritance that our bloodlines have might kick in. With the way us purebloods interbreed, I can't be sure which creature inheritance he will receive unless we check him for it.

The best age to check for creature inheritance would be when he is above five years old but the minimum age for it is three years old. I have requested for him to be checked here at Gringotts on his fifth birthday. Should anything happen before his fifth birthday, you can contact Gringotts for an early check-up. I hope that whatever he gets for his creature inheritance, you will be there to guide him since I cannot be there for him.

Also, there are many family portraits in the Peverell vault that you can consult with if you need any help. Mine and Lily's portrait are in the Potter Family vault.

And Sirius, please take care of Harry. He is my son as well as yours…"

Saint Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies & Injuries
Noble Rooms Ward, James & Harry Potter's Room

Sirius opened the door and invited his father into James and Harry's room at Saint Mungo's. He was still in a bit of shock at the confirmation in James's Will that Harry is his son because of a mad plan that James and Lily cooked up. And on top of that, his forgotten memories of what happened and his forgotten feelings towards James that came back to him, he did not know what to do.

Harry was awake and a medi-witch was holding him as he feed from a bottle. Sirius dismissed the medi-witch and took over feeding Harry. As he holds Harry in his arms, he looked the boy over. His son, Harry was definitely a Black just by looking at his facial features.

His father came over to stand beside him and looked Harry over.

"So this is Hadrian. He is definitely a Black alright," Orion said as he observes the toddler in his son's arms. Sirius nodded but focused on Harry who just finished his bottle. After burping Harry, he stood and put Harry back into the crib to let him play with the toys there because he wanted to talk with his father undisturbed. After making sure that Harry is occupied with his toys and checking on James, he gestured his father to the pair of chairs by the wall near the windows.

After they settled down, there was a silence where both of they stared out the window, both of they not knowing where to start. It was Orion who broke the silence first.

"What are you going to do now?" Orion said, looking at Sirius's profile as he looked out the window.

"They told me yesterday that they can do nothing further for James. His Healer said told me that we can move him to the permanent spell damage ward or bring him home, where every home is. I was thinking of moving them to Potter Manor but I can't control the wards fully even if by I am in charge of it by poxy." Sirius said, looking pensive.

"How about you move back to Grimmuald Place? I hold the wards and no one can harm them while you stay there." Orion suggested.

"But what about Mother? She would definitely protest and make a big fuss about it." Sirius asked his father. He knew that his mother will scream and shout about them moving in. He didn't want to let Harry meet his grandmother, it would definitely be traumatising for the kid.

"Don't worry about your mother, I will handle her. If she still insist on making trouble, then I will confine her to the Black Dowager Manor." Orion said dismissively.

Sirius just gaped at his father at the casual way his father said about chucking his mother aside. He did not know how to respond to that or whether he should answer at all.

"Now, all that's left is to let the others' in the Black family know about this." Orion said.

Sirius grimaced, not wanting to think about the full Black family meeting that will probably happen tomorrow or the day after. He was so not looking forward to it.
