"Welcome to Gringotts." he said making Harry jump slightly, "I am Hoberk Griblenock Head of the Goblin High Council. Gringotts and the Goblin Nation would like to take this time to express our sympathy for your loss. Are you ready for me to begin?"

"Thank you for your condolences. Yes, please begin." Harry replied at Bill's nudge. He was sure the Head Goblin didn't see just anyone. Bill's expression and earlier language seemed to agree with this thought.

"Very well. This is the reading of the Will for James and Lily Potter." Hoberk began, "I James Potter being of sound mind and body and do agree to the contents of this will. These are my wishes and I have not been coerced into making these bequeaths or decisions. I Lily Potter being of sound mind and body and do agree to the contents of this will. These are my wishes and I have not been coerced into making these bequeaths or decisions."

"That is a standard opening." Bill whispered as the goblin continued with legal jargon for a while.

"Should either one of us die the other will take all wealth and responsibilities. They will be responsible for all children from the union until they reach the age of maturity. If James Potter should pass first the oldest son, on his seventeenth birthday, will inherit the title of Lord of the House of Potter and all responsibilities that title incurs." Hoberk continued.

"What?" Harry couldn't help the gasp.

The goblin ignored him and went on, "Should both of us die everything will be inherited by the oldest son on his seventeenth birthday. He will be expected to share some of the wealth with his siblings. That would include dowries for sisters should any exist. Two exceptions are made at this time. If there are no Potter children Exception one will include all wealth not the amount indicated and the title Lord Potter will be lost forever. Exception one: 200,000 galleons will be given to each of the following friends – Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew and Marlene McKenna."

"Not likely." Harry mumbled at Peter's name.

"Exception two: An allowance of 200 galleons per child per month will be given to the individual or family that raises any children in our absence. Following is a list of approved individuals or families in the order of our preference: Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Marlene McKenna, Frank and Alice Longbottom, Arthur and Molly Weasley or Peter Pettigrew. Addendums may be added at a later time. There were no addendums made." Hoberk nodded putting down the will, "Any disagreements or questions?"

"Yes Sir, I have a disagreement." Harry said.

"What is the disagreement?" Hoberk asked.

"Peter Pettigrew should be completely removed from both lists."

"Grounds?"

"He gave James and Lily Potter's location to Voldemort thus allowing them to be found and murdered by him." Harry stated.

"Proof of allegations?" the Goblin asked.

"My own memory of his confession in front of myself and several others, including Remus Lupin who is present." Harry replied.

"Both yourself and Mr. Lupin should submit those memories now." he stated.

Arthur helped Harry while Remus pulled his own. Both memories were placed into the pensieve on the desk. It took some time but the goblins viewing the memory returned and nodded at Hoberk.

"The grounds for the disagreement have been approved. Peter Pettigrew is removed from both lists." Hoberk noted, "Any other disagreements or questions."

"Yes Sir, I have a question." Harry announced, when the Goblin continued to look at him he stated, "Has the allowance of 200 galleons been paid, to whom was it paid and did the allowance amount ever change?" As the goblin shuffled papers Harry turned to the others, "Anything else you guys can think of?"

"Harry your bank statements should tell you if anything has been removed." Arthur pointed out.

"I should be getting statements?" Harry asked.

"You should at least be getting them from your trust." Molly said, "Ask why you don't."

Bill nodded in agreement then added, "Don't ask that during this though, we'll address that later. Ask what recourse you have for someone intentionally hindering the will."

"If the allowance was paid to Albus find out if there is any proof he paid the Dursleys." Remus suggested.

"The allowance of 200 galleons per month was started on November first of 1981. Paid to Albus Dumbledore. He petitioned three times for increases and all three times were granted. We are currently paying an allowance of five hundred galleons per month."

"Sir, may I ask more questions on this subject?" Harry asked.

"Proceed." Hoberk instructed.

"I would like to know if he ever paid the money to the family that actually took care of me. I was not raised by Albus Dumbledore. I was raised by Petunia Dursley, my mother's muggle sister." he stated.

"You were not raised in Albus Dumbledore's home?" Hoberk growled.

"No Sir would you like memories verifying that?" he asked, "I have many and Mr. Weasley would be able to provide one I believe. I know a few aurors who could also verify this."

"Please provide those memories." Hoberk also said something in Gobbledygook to another goblin that left the room.

Harry added several memories including some of the abuse he had endured at the Dursleys hands. Bill had suggested it so he could also request that amends not be made in full to the Dursleys if they hadn't been paid anything. When the team left the pensieve that time one of the Goblins whispered furiously to Hoberk.

"Am I to understand that you do not wish the Dursleys to have any payment if they have not received any?" he asked turning to Harry once the other goblin returned to the wall.

"They may have some payment." Harry said, "Just not in full to the terms of the will please. I would also like to tell them what the amount would have been if they had treated me correctly."

"Vengeance is always approved by Goblins." Hoberk nodded.

The goblin that had left returned with a large ledger and placed it on the table in front of Hoberk. He began to leaf through the book. The more he leafed through the book the deeper his scowl became.

"That is not looking good for Dumbledore." Bill said indicating the goblin, "He is beyond angry about what he is seeing. They rarely show any emotion so if you see one it is an extreme one."

"Cursebreaker Weasley?" Hoberk interrupted Bill's whispers to Harry.

"Yes sir?" Bill turned to the goblin.

"I would like you to be the one to escort the Dursleys here to receive their… payment." Hoberk stated, "Mr. Potter you will need to be present too. You will also be getting full restitution of all funds stolen by Albus Dumbledore."

Harry nodded, "Is there any restitution I may get from Albus Dumbledore for intentionally hindering my parents will? He had it sealed and sent me to live with someone not on the list of approved families when the Weasleys were available."

"And willing." Mr. Weasley added, "We even told Dumbledore that we would take him, although I had no idea we were on the list."

"We've offered many times since the first." Molly added, "He only allowed Harry to our house a few weeks each summer since his first year."

"Restitution is granted." Hoberk agreed, "We will need to know more about how the Dursleys treated you in comparison to the Weasleys."

"The Weasleys treated me a thousand times better." Harry expressed, "I've always been treated like one of the family, they even included me at Christmas. The Dursleys used me more as a house elf, I was never a part of anything they considered a family event. I would be locked away during Christmas so they could spend it as a family."

"Locked away?" Hoberk asked.

"Yes sir, in the cupboard from the memory." Harry stated.

"Were you hit often?" he asked.

"Any time I wasn't quick enough to get out of the way." Harry shrugged

"How often did they call you names?" Hoberk continued the questioning.

"I was always either boy or freak. I don't think they ever called me Harry." he thought for a moment, "Once in a while they would call me Potter."

The goblins noticed Molly's tears and Arthur putting a hand on the boy's shoulder for comfort. Molly's hand found its way to Harry's as he spoke. Even Bill's face, which was usually very professional, was showing signs of grief and pain at Harry's words. Hoberk made his decision.

"Albus Dumbledore removed sixty four thousand, eight hundred galleons from your account during the last fourteen years." Hoberk took the parchment handed to him by one of the other goblins.

"That's outrageous." Arthur cried, "I raised seven children on less than that."

"Indeed." Hoberk grinned wickedly, Harry almost cringed at the sight, "And your care would have been one thousand times better than what he received at the hands of the Dursleys so they will be paid sixty four galleons and eight sickles."

"What's that in pounds?" Harry didn't know the conversion.

"Roughly six hundred and fifty pounds as opposed to six hundred and fifty thousand pounds." Hoberk was joined in his grin by the other goblins, "The Potter estate will be repaid by the Dumbledore estate based on the difference of the two numbers. Which is approximately sixty four thousand seven hundred galleons plus interest, the total will be approximately one hundred and thirty thousand galleons. Also the Dursleys will be paid, plus interest, from the Dumbledore estate. He will be paying the Dursleys approximately one hundred galleons, or rather one thousand pounds."

"It would be really funny if they could only be paid in galleons." Harry grinned, "No one in the muggle world would touch a galleon."

"Gringotts agrees to only pay the Dursleys in galleons and we will refuse the service of converting it to pounds." Hoberk laughed, "I like the way you think."

Harry laughed with the goblins for a moment, "I will be getting one hundred and thirty thousand galleons from Dumbledore then."

"No you will be getting approximately two hundred and sixty thousand galleons from the Dumbledore estate." Hoberk corrected, "One hundred and thirty thousand, for what he stole from you and its interest, plus the restitution of about the same."

"Now all I have to do is work on getting him back for everything else." Harry sighed.

"Like what?" Hoberk asked heartily interested in what else the wizard had done.

"I don't think I'm allowed to talk about that yet." Harry said, "But it goes back to my great grandfathers dealings with him."

Hoberk sat in thought for a few moments before he started nodding, "Just so you know Mr. Potter. The goblins will be looking to take custody of Dumbledore to pay for his crimes. Paying restitution only settles your issue with him. He still has to pay for the damage he has done to us."

"What kind of damage?" Harry wondered curiously.

"He lied to us." he said, "He has made us look bad to a valued customer. It could cost us if you decide you no longer trust us."

"Bill can I bring up the statements now?" he turned to the cursebreaker.

"Yes I think it would be ok." Bill nodded.

"I've never received a statement on my account." Harry said turning back to the Goblin, "Could he have blocked that in any way?"

Diving back into the paperwork Hoberk began to growl again, "He had us send all the statements to him. So he could show them to you and explain them. You never saw them, he never explained them?"

"No sir." Harry answered.

Hoberk's mouth twitched slightly at Harry's answer. Not many humans outside of Gringotts employees addressed any goblin with that amount of respect. And he had been showing that level of respect since he had arrived. He had heard from the other goblins that the boy was respectful and he was proving them correct, "Mr. Potter do you have any idea of your financial status?"

"I know I have a trust vault that has a pile of money in it." he sighed, "But I don't know how much is there nor how much is taken to pay for my schooling. I'm very careful with it so I don't run out before I finish school."

"If you were too completely empty that account more would be added." Hoberk replied, "However it is always good to be frugal with your money. It's how you get and keep wealth. Let's see, you have removed five years worth of tuition plus two hundred and fifty galleons."

"Correct I take enough for supplies and a little extra for spending money." Harry nodded, "I thought fifty galleons per year total would help me keep track of what I had spent easily. I could probably get by on less if I need to I have a small amount left over at the end of each year so I have a savings stash of about ten galleons."

"Well done." Hoberk agreed, "Are you able to get everything that way?"

"Yes sir." Harry nodded.

"Just so you know your parents would have sent you probably more along the lines of fifty galleons to school with you, outside the cost of supplies." Hoberk pointed out, "If you did that you would still have plenty of galleons in that account when you finished school. They placed double the amount they thought you would need into your trust. Sometimes prices go up."

"Harry might I suggest that you take more out this year so that you are able to buy clothes that fit." Molly offered quietly, "No reason for you to continue to wear your cousins ill fitting hand me downs."

"She is correct." Hoberk added, "It would be wise to begin to look and act the part of Lord Potter before you get the title so that you are taken seriously."

"Thank you Sir." Harry nodded to the goblin, "I think I will. Thanks for the advice Mrs. Weasley."

"Any time dear." she patted his hand that was still clasped in her own.

"When am I allowed to get statements on what my parents left me?" Harry asked, "I'm assuming there is more than my trust account."

"There is." Hoberk nodded, "But here is where we start running into more problems. You need your guardian to be here to witness the information and help you decide what to do. Dumbledore is in control until someone else is named your guardian. We are freezing all but your trust fund until the matter is settled. You and you alone have access to your trust and you are limited in what you can remove. Five hundred galleons over the cost of tuition is the maximum you are allowed at this time. This is the latest statement on your trust."

Harry looked it over nodding. He needed to have a will made and soon. But first he needed to know what he was dealing with. His own wealth was rather scarily impressive. He wasn't sure how much more his parents had but he knew there would be at least the two hundred and sixty thousand galleons from Dumbledore.

"Mr. Potter." Hoberk interrupted his train of thought, "Do you have any idea who will be named your guardian?"

"Based on my parents will it should be Sirius Black." Harry said, "He's at the Ministry right now getting a trial. I should know later this afternoon."

"Who is presiding over his trial?" the Goblin looked worried.

"Amelia Bones." Remus filled in since Harry only shrugged, "A few important people were too busy to attend today. Namely Fudge, Umbridge and Malfoy."

"Good he should be cleared then." Hoberk nodded. "Would you like to visit your trust vault? You may still withdraw four hundred and fifty galleons yet this year. I would suggest you make it last until you come for next year's supplies."

"Yes sir. I also need to make a will, but I'll need to know what I have first." Harry stated. He left Gringotts sometime later a little heavier for the galleons and pounds in his pocket, "Can we do a little shopping before we go back?"

"Depends on where." Remus shrugged.

"Some place to get muggle clothes that fit." Harry grinned, "Can we go to muggle London?"

"Sure, do you know where?" he asked indulgently.

"No." he paused, "Any ideas?"

"Well I have a place I shop at. They actually have a few wizards working there." Bill said then grinned at the shocked looks, "What? The Goblins told me about them."

"Great." Harry agreed.

They returned to McGonagall's house laden with bags. Harry and Arthur were avidly discussing some muggle thing that he had purchased. Neither one noticed who was in the room when they arrived. At least not until Remus interrupted them.

"Are you all sorted out?"

Harry spun to see Sirius sitting on the couch with Tonks and an older couple while Amelia and Kingsley shared the other. The woman of the couple reminded Harry of someone but he couldn't pinpoint who it was, "How did it go?"

"It went great!" Sirius exclaimed, "I'm a free man and it will be in the papers tomorrow. How did yours go?"

"I'll need to go back when I have a legal guardian again." he shrugged, "I can't know exactly what is there until I return with a guardian."

"Sirius has petitioned for it." Amelia stated, "Did the will make any statements about that?"

"Yes, Sirius and Remus were the first two names on the list for my guardian." Harry said, "Followed by Marlene McKenna, the Longbottoms and the Weasleys. I don't think I've met Ms. McKenna."

"She was killed in the last war." Sirius mumbled.

"Sorry." he grimaced.

"No worries." Sirius grabbed him in a hug, "By the way this is my cousin Andromeda and her husband Ted. They are Nymphadora's parents."

"Don't call me that." Tonks smacked his leg as he chuckled at her.
