Inheritance
Slowly the doors opened inwards granting entry to an ornately decorated office. More tapestries depicting battles were placed around the room; two battle axes with runes carved into the blade were hung on the wall behind a large mahogany desk with gold details around the border. Sitting at the desk was probably the most intimidating goblin Harry had ever seen, "Good Morning Lord Ragnok and thank you for taking the time to see me" said Harry with a nod of his head stepping towards the desk.
"Please sit Mr Potter, I have a feeling this meeting shall yield some interesting results" replied Ragnok motioning towards the comfortable looking chair in front of the desk.
"Please call me Harry" said Harry taking the offered seat, Ragnok's eyebrows rose in shock.
"Then Harry, please call me Ragnok." said Ragnok.
"Now shall we start with the inheritance ritual?" asked Ragnok once Harry was comfortably seated.
"Sounds good" said Harry trying to keep is nerves in check.
Opening the top draw of the desk Ragnok pulled out a crystal bowl, a vial of an electric blue potion, a quill with golden runes engraved along the shaft, a piece of parchment and a small golden pin. Placing everything on the desk between him and Harry "Now Harry, I will need you to prick your finger with this pin and let seven drops of blood fall into the potion. I will then swirl the bowl until the potion turns a deep purple once that is done I'll place the quill into the potion. Once it has soaked up the entire potion we just place it on the parchment and it'll tell us everything we need to know." explained Ragnok pouring the potion into the crystal bowl.
"Sounds easy enough." said Harry taking the pin, pricking the tip if his left index figure Harry counted as seven drops of blood fell into the potion. Grabbing the bowl Ragnok started to swirl the potion, rapidly turning it into a deep purple and placing the quill in. Quickly the potion seeped into the quill, placing it on the parchment it started to write. Harry and Ragnok sat in silence was the quill wrote, suddenly the quill dropped signalling it was done.
"Well let's see what we have" said Ragnok turning the parchment so that both he and Harry could read it.

Harry sat there is shock; so many questions were running through his head, he didn't know where to start. "Blessings?" he finally blurted out "Sirius only said it would show inheritance and abilities" Harry added in way of explanation.
"Mr Black might not have known about that part of the ritual. You see Mother Magic sometimes picks special people to give blessings to, this is a very rare occurrence and if someone isn't blessed the ritual will stop after the abilities are listed." said Ragnok trying to hide his pleasure at the results.
"Okay I think I understand. So why do I have unknown abilities and blessings?" asked Harry slowly gaining order to his thoughts.
"Hmmm it says here that you have a core block, it seems that the magic that should be allowing these abilities and blessings to manifest have been redirected to make up for the fact your magical core has been blocked." stated Ragnok, seeing that Harry was getting angry he added "Luckily the ritual has managed to record the persons magical signature so we should be able to find out who is responsible."
"Okay, so how do we get rid of this block?" asked Harry calming down after Ragnok's explanation.
"That Harry it simple. When you take up your Lordships the blockage should break." said Ragnok sitting back and clasping his hands together.
"Then let's get started." said Harry with a grin.
Ragnok snapped his fingers and suddenly there were ten simple boxes lay on the desk in front of them.
"Now we have to start with House Black as you're already the Head of House. I suggest placing it on your left thumb" said Ragnok sliding one of the boxes forward. Opening the box Harry found a white gold band with a large onyx sitting on top, a silver etching of a grim pouncing in the gem, the words 'toujours pur' engraved on the band. Slowly sliding the ring onto his thumb there was a sudden flash as the ring resized to fit "Congratulations Harry! You are now officially Lord Black. Which would you like to put on next?" said Ragnok holding back his glee.
"Er the Potter one I think." replied Harry. Ragnok slid over another box, inside Harry found the ring was similar to the last one only it was gold band holding a garnet with a gold etching of a griffin and the motto 'veni, vidi, vici' engraved along the band. Sliding it onto his middle left finger there was another flash as it resized to his finger.
The process continued with the Evans Family ring, a white gold band holding a aquamarine gem with a silver etching of a unicorn and the motto 'teulu yn anad dim' engraved along the band on his left index finger. Followed by the Emrys ring, a platinum band holding a diamond with a gold etching of a phoenix and the motto 'pur o galor' engraved along the band on his right ring finger. Next was the le Fay ring, a platinum band holding an amethyst with a gold etching of a dragon in flight and the motto 'chérir magie' engraved along the band on his right index finger. Then it was the Peverell ring, a platinum band holding what appeared to be a diamond and amethyst constantly swirling around each other with a gold etching of a hippogriff and the motto 'intentio est omnia' engraved along the band on his right hand middle finger.
Before Harry could get to the founder's rings Ragnok stopped him "Hold on, the magic of these rings will allow them to combine into one, just place them all together in the palm of your hand and they'll merge together." explained Ragnok. Placing the founder's rings in his hand there was a swirl of magic as the four rings became one. The result was a band of gold, black titanium, bronze and while gold woven together in an intricate pattern with the different House mottos engraved in the metals. On the gold was 'fortuna favoribus in fortis', the black titanium was engraved with 'semper fidus', the bronze held the words 'scientia sit potentia' and on the white gold the motto 'insidiantur ante percuteretur'. On top of the band was a refined version of the Hogwarts shield; a ruby with a golden lion, a topaz with a black badger, a sapphire with a bronze raven and an emerald with a silver snake. Slowly Harry slid the final ring onto his right hand thumb with one last flash of magic is resized to fit.
"Now that you've accepted all your titles let's take that test again and see what that bock was hiding" said Ragnok reaching into the draw for another electric blue potion. Repeating the ritual they waited for the quill to finish, taking much longer than last time, it finally dropped signifying its completion. Turning the new parchment they both read.
