Chapter 4 Letters and Gringotts can go together
28th December 1997, master study 1st floor, 12 Grimmauld Place
Harry puts the letter down while crying and it took almost half an hour before he stopped crying. He sees the other letter and didn't know if he wants to read it but decided to read it.
Dear Pup,
What I am going to tell you now is probably hard to believe, but you have to trust me. What I am going to tell you what I have concluded after looking for evidence. I know this will come as a shock and I can understand if you don't believe me but please pup read the whole letter before you stop reading.
Dumbledore is not who you think he is. I know for a fact that he disregarded your parent's last will and I know because I was present. When I asked Gringotts after I escaped, they said that Chief Warlock wanted it sealed and that only he or the heir can open it. At the same time, Dumbledore showed the wizengamot a document that stated that Dumbledore will be your magical guardian after me and I was in Azkaban by then.
I think Dumbledore wanted to use you and therefore placed you by your magic-hating relatives. I know for a fact that Miss Arabella Figg is a squib and was spying there for Dumbledore and the order of the Phoenix. I am afraid she was under some kind of charm because her eyes were glazed last time I saw her.
Molly Weasley thinks that Dumbledore has rainbows coming out of his arse, but I have a strong suspicion that she only believes that because just like with Hagrid Dumbledore helped them significantly one way or the other. Maybe Dumbledore used a charm or spell of some kind but I am honest this I don't know for sure.
Back to Dumbledore, he probably wanted to use you to kill Voldemort but probably perish in the attempt and if you didn't succeed killing Voldemort himself and show himself as the savior of the wizarding world. If you did succeed, we (Remus, Dora and I) think that he would kill you telling everybody that Voldemort killed you and play the grandfather that lost his dearest grandson.
We suspect that he put the idea in Molly's head that Ginny should be your wife and they would make sure you make her pregnant as soon as possible so that when Dumbledore decided you were ready to get you killed, you would have an heir and Dumbledore would have access to the Potter fortune and after my death and your dead Dumbledore will know that he will also have access to the Black fortune.
If you had a girl, they would make you get Ginny pregnant again. We think Dumbledore would have used multiple girls if Ginny had a girl the first time, to make sure that you had a boy. We suspected that the boy will be Dumbledore's heir and will believe Dumbledore's greater good and that he would guide the wizarding world like Dumbledore does and continue after Dumbledore's dead. We think to make Dumbledore the magical guardian he would also kill the mother or mothers, especially if the mothers wanted to raise the boy with his half-siblings. We didn't want to think what will happen with the girls, but we got a good idea but that I cannot write that I need to tell you when I see you again so I can calm you down.
Anyway, Dobby told me what he knew as did Kreacher and with Remus's mind we could work out that this is Dumbledore's plan. I hope that we read this together and even confront Dumbledore together, but I feel that something is about to happen and that is why I wrote this letter.
DON'T TRUST DUMBLEDORE OR THE HOGWARTS STAFF. We think Dumbledore use potions on the Hogwarts staff save from the greasy-haired git because Dumbledore never got a NEWT for potions the greasy-haired git probably brewed the required potions.
Dumbledore was probably testing you with the Philosopher stone, the basilisk in the chamber of secrets and the tri-wizard tournament and if you died it was just a tragic loss, but luckily you didn't. Umbridge was probably not planned by Dumbledore however that you were forming some kind of student army was probably planned by Dumbledore to get the students that followed you killed because they would probably oppose Dumbledore with what he planned with your child.
We do know for a fact that he was afraid of Hermione stealing your love and affection. With her being a muggleborn her muggle parents had no legitimized claim on the child if both you and Hermione died will you had a child as long as the child has magic (and be honest of course he would have, especially with the power level you have). However, Hermione's parents could claim the child if it was in your or Hermione's will what you will certainly do as you have no real family left. Most of the wizengamot will allow it as thanks for you giving your life and if I remember there is also an old law, but don't know for sure. Dumbledore said that during an order of the Phoenix meeting but that he was afraid for her being a muggleborn and what could happen and that it was better if Hermione was guided in another direction for her love. Many were outraged and Dumbledore started talking about his greater good. He pointed his wand and tried to obliviate everybody. I was lucky that the house protected me and also provided protection to Dora and Remus. I see them like family and the house recognize them as such.
We think Dumbledore tried to kill Hermione ever since the troll in your first year, but it never succeeded. I remembered one of the chasers of the Quidditch team you were close with …. Katie or something. I don't think Dumbledore sees her as a problem but Hermione he definitely sees her as a problem in his plans. Watch her back and keep an eye on her if she starts to act weird stun her and try to find out what happened by finding a healer to check her.
Pup again sorry but you need to know this even though Dumbledore probably controlled Molly by magic or by her free will because all that Dumbledore did, Ginny really loves you I wanted to make sure and asked Dora to cast some diagnostic spell, also my cousin Andromeda Tonks when she visited her father and even gave her during Christmas a flush potions mixed with pumpkin juice. Kreacher liked her so he listened to me then to do it. Nothing indicated that she was under a spell or potion. I know what I wrote in the other letter and I am happy that I was right. Ginny loves you but believes me so does Hermione. I wanted to tell you more but I guess Lily will come back from the dead and kill me if I wrote what I want to tell you.
One more thing DON'T TRUST RON, I saw something in Ron that makes me very worried. I know about your friendship with Neville. Cherish the friendship with Neville and watch out for Ron something is off with him.
Never turn your back on Neville and never turn your back to Ron. Ron would probably stab you in the back or curse you from behind what Lucy's boy tried a couple of times. Neville will stand by you if he is anyway as his father.
I know this is a lot to take in but the last I heard from believe it or not partly from Kreacher and partly from an energetic house elf named Dobby, the great wizard Harry Potter sir.
HAHAHAHA. Sorry Pup but I couldn't let that go.
It may be a good idea to bond with Dobby and rebound Kreacher to make sure Kreacher does obey you completely. I didn't want to force Kreacher and he didn't want to bond to me so if Kreacher changed and I am not here anymore please consider rebounding Kreacher to the house of Black AND to you. Promise that you at least think about it and only do it if Kreacher want.
Pup, I love you never forget that many others also do.
With all my love,
Lord Sirius Orion Black (made official by Gringotts wizarding bank, London)
Lord of House Black

Regent of house Potter
16th June 1996
Harry was calm and everything made sense now all times he was in danger, not to mention Hermione with the troll, the basilisk, and the lake. Harry was questioning if Dumbledore also knew how the Dumbledore army, Harry thought 'we need to change that name', communicated with each other.
Harry was thinking about the last years and must admit that everything made sense and was starting to get mad at Dumbledore for using Hermione, Ginny and maybe more.
Harry was afraid to read the last letter for him. The first letter was bad and the second even worse with Harry's luck the last letter would be the worst letter ever written if it didn't kill him by just reading it.
Harry thought 'maybe it is better to read Sirius's letters?'
Harry directly stopped thinking that as those letters were for Sirius, I should not read it without permission.
Harry grabbed the next letter but before he could read it Kreacher popped in and said "master Harry, many of the women are awake and are looking for master Harry. Should Kreacher tell the girls where master Harry is?"
Dobby popped in and said the same thing as Kreacher. Harry thought for a moment and said "say that I will go to the kitchen when I am done. Kreacher can you serve my lunch here and don't tell them where I am, because it will drive Hermione crazy to find me."
Kreacher bowed and said "of course master Harry. Lunch will be ready in one-hour Kreacher will serve it here" before popping out.
Harry said, "Dobby I prefer if you also don't say where I am, you can continue with what you were doing."
Dobby bowed lightly and said "of course master Harry and thank you, master Harry" and popped out.
Harry was looking at the letter he put down when Kreacher and Dobby came. He thought 'Gryffindor charge forward' and opened the other letter addressed to him.
Dear Pup,
Maybe I need to use the proper greetings.
Dear Lord Potter-Black,
This letter is important so I requested that you read the letter about my family first. If you already read that you can continue this one.
Like I said in the letter about my family I also liked my cousins. Unfortunately, my second oldest cousin Andromeda got divorced when her husband Ted Tonks ran away with a muggleborn witch when Voldemort returned almost a year ago. Unfortunately I cannot accept her back in the family because the ministry sees me as an escaped prisoner which I am but they see me as a convicted prisoner and will not accept what I do, that is why Andromeda and her daughter Nymphadora (don't tell her I called her that) still use Tonks as their last name otherwise they will be Andromeda and Nymphadora no-name and that would be a social death sentence and Andi and Dora would probably be fired and it is a disgrace for the former Black sister and her daughter.
I wrote this letter because when I entered the study, I found the letters my other two cousins send me all those years ago after my father was killed in Diagon Alley in 1979. My father was just three years Lord Black before he got killed but we got a letter saying it was an accident, but I know that was a lie. He protected a few people like I said he was different from my mother.
Anyway, my father was against the marriage of Narcissa and Bellatrix in dark families. I didn't know my father died in 1979 almost a full year before your parents went into hiding. The first time I heard it was in Azkaban because the death eater that killed him was only three small cells away from me before he died a couple of years later, I still wish I could kill that death eater.
My father Orion Black had never disowned me as my mother wanted. Once they were happily married, but I think my father and mother grow apart but also my mother was furious I was sorted in to Gryffindor, my father wasn't happy as the whole family was sorted in to Slytherin since the first Black in Hogwarts but he accepted it and said that Gryffindors had some good qualities although not as much a Slytherin's.
But I digress from the point. My father didn't annul the marriages but I found a way to do it. Unfortunately, as a convicted prisoner I could not do it and I think my father was pressed by my mother to not do it or didn't find a way. The contract should be one of the desk drawers. You need the Black ring to do it.
My grandfather was a pureblood bigot my father wasn't like that, still a Slytherin but not a pureblood bigot. He did prefer pureblood but that was about it. My father added a few things in the marriage contracts my grandfather approved of. One of those things was to never attack and kill purebloods (duels not included) if they did there was a fine paid to the Black family and it was double if it was triple if it was someone of the black family as it was five times if it was the Lord, Lady or heir of the house of Black. In other words, pup you can bankrupt the Malfoy and Lestrange accounts if you call in the debt even their properties can be confiscated as they can't pay.
But the most important part was another thing my father and grandfather actually approved of just like do not attack purebloods was that you never try to help terrorist to take over the ministry and Hogwarts. Also never vote for a law that gives the ministry control about land owned by the Blacks or give the ministry control of Hogwarts. There is a reason to vote for it but I looked for it and that was never the case.
Harry what I want you to do it go to Gringotts talk with the black account manager Bonecrusher and get the house of Black ring and let Gringotts a message for Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange to come to Gringotts because of the house of Black. Then when they entered, be on your guard especially for Narcissa she is or was the best dueller of the black sisters (that is why your father liked her almost as much as Lily).
They want their marriage annulled I can assure you and If you look at the oldest letter addressed to me. Look at the back you see the black family logo and motto. That is the one you want to read. The other one was what my father wrote to me in the case he died. It seems the Blacks and Potters feel when something is about to happen to them or close to them.
I know what they all did but I am afraid they couldn't help themselves. I will tell you why that is. Make sure that only Narcissa and Bellatrix come to Gringotts everyone else from Voldemort needs to stay outside Gringotts or the meeting room. If you don't know if you want to, invite Andromeda, Nymphadora, and Remus. You can accept them all in the family include Remus and they will help you with your decision.
But please read the letter and then go to Gringotts I promised I will help them, but if you read this when I died than I failed them but you can save them please do it for me, your father and mother. You parents liked the Black sisters and I liked my cousins.
With all my love and hope,
Lord Sirius Orion Black (made official by Gringotts wizarding bank, London)
Lord of House Black
Godfather of Heir Harry James Potter(-Black)
Regent of house Potter
17th June 1996
Harry was pinching the bridge of his nose after he was down reading and putting his glass on the desk. Harry thought 'I should have known; this isn't just the worst it is even worse not to remember that Bellatrix attack Neville parents and what the hell does Sirius mean they couldn't help themselves. I better read them and then ask Dobby of Kreacher to take me to Gringotts.'
Harry grabbed both letters addressed to Sirius. He looks at the back and the second one had the black logo and motto on the back and he opened it a part of his hoped that Sirius was wrong, but another hoped that Sirius was right which also somehow made his parents right about the Black sisters.
Dear cousin Siri,
Please help us. I know grandfather won't change his mind but please try to change his mind. If he doesn't please when your father or you become Lord Black annul our marriages, we will take the coincidences and pay them even if we need to sell everything we own even ourselves if your father or you don't want to pay but please annul it as fast as you can.
I know we may never talk again if we get married but we love you, Sirius, you were always our favorite cousin. Please tell James that I will always love him and tell Lily I am sorry I never wanted to steal him away. Bella says that she wished she listened to Andi and left. I wished that too but my marriage contract is already signed I hoped James had his parents together with you and your father persuaded our grandfather to make a marriage contract with James for the Peverell line and then Lily could be for the Potter line. The Potters are seen as purebloods especially if they get a boy. James is a pureblood so all sons will also be seen as pureblood, unfortunately, any girl they would be seen as half-blood, but fortunately only the most ancient and most noble houses have that.
Please help us, Siri. We will try to hold on just if you promise.
Harry saw in Sirius handwriting next to that sentence I PROMISE and many tearstains and was feeling the honesty in the letter. Harry continued to read.
We hope to see you soon and celebrate our freedom.
With all our love,
Bella and Cissy Black
31st June 1973
P.S. We send this to you because grandfather keeps a close eye on your father after he wanted to betroth us to you and Regulus. We love you but not like that, but we would do it to save us, unfortunately, grandfather saw through it and declined and warned your father. If we send him and he doesn't say anything he could be disowned and that means his family too.
Harry groaned when he was reading knowing Sirius was right. He was planning to call Kreacher to wait with the lunch but at that moment Kreacher popped in with the lunch and popped out again.
Harry thought 'I better eat my lunch before going to Gringotts and try to fulfil Sirius promise as soon as he can unless Narcissa Malfoy néé Black and Bellatrix Lestrange néé Black doesn't want their marriage annulled, maybe it is a small idea to invite Andromeda Tonks, Tonks maybe if she doesn't mind if I call her Dora as we are some distant cousins and Remus.'
Harry ate his lunch for almost 30 minutes before he decided it was time to go, but he realized 'I don't have a wand and if I go ask Hermione for her wand she wants to know why. Then she would want to come or try to talk me out of this, but I need to do this' Harry thought.
Harry decided to ask Kreacher maybe he knows something. Harry said "Kreacher."
Kreacher pops in while bowing and said: "what can Kreacher do for master Harry?"
"Kreacher I need to go to Gringotts but I don't have a wand do you have maybe an idea?"
"Kreacher have an idea master Harry. Master Orion told there was a wand in one of the desk drawers. That wand is a specially made wand. That wand is for only Lord Black or heir if there isn't a Lord Black."
Harry opened the desk drawer that contained the wand and the two knives and grabbed the wand. He felt nothing for a small moment before it felt almost the same as his broken wand and Hermione's wand. Harry tried the wand with a first-year spell Lumos and the light was just a bright as his broken wand did before it broke.
Harry smiled and said "thank you Kreacher. I assume I can take it where I go?"
Kreacher replied "yes master Harry. Lord Black can carry the wand as long as he wants."
Harry said "thank you Kreacher. Can you get my cloak?"
Kreacher looked uncomfortable and Harry asked, "is something wrong Kreacher?"
Kreacher said "miss He'mione requested the cloak so you can't slip by the girls or the Kreacher to leave the house. Miss He'mione didn't want to master Harry to leave the house."
Harry sighed and thought 'Hermione…..'
Harry said nothing for a moment and then looked at Kreacher and said: "can you take me into Gringotts?"
Kreacher said, "sorry master Harry Kreacher can travel into Gringotts but Kreacher and other house-elves can't take wizards or witches with them."
Harry sighed again 'why was it never easy?'
Harry thought back at Diagon Alley and asked: "Kreacher are their clothes here that I can wear when I need to go to talk to my account manager in Gringotts?"
Kreacher thought for a moment pops out and return quickly with robes made of Acromantula silk, Harry knows that it is one of the most expensive materials for robes available in Great-Britain. Kreacher puts the robe onto the closed chair pops out and return again within a few seconds.
Kreacher has grabbed the best clothes Harry had that isn't in Hermione's bag. Harry said, "thank you Kreacher come back over 5 minutes and don't tell anyone about this."
Kreacher bowed and said "of course master Harry" before popping out.
Harry started to change his clothes and when he was done, he sat down in his seat and used 'accio' to summon his invisibility cloak. Harry wondered how it never worked before. Harry decided to quickly read the oldest letter that was for Sirius from his cousins again and not think about the invisibility cloak.
Kreacher returns and says "master Harry had has been 5 minutes."
Harry says "okay Kreacher can you take me the closest to Gringotts without been seen?"
Kreacher nodded and said, "yes master Harry."
Kreacher hold out his hand and Harry takes it. Harry closed his eyes right before he took Kreacher's hand. Less than a second later Harry opens his eyes and sees he is in a store where has been only one time on his first trip to Diagon Alley.
28th December 1997, Ollivanders, Diagon Alley
Harry looks around and sees he is standing in the destroyed shop of Ollivander the wand shop.
Harry said "Kreacher I call if I need you. Thank you."
Kreacher says "yes master Harry" before popping out.
Harry cast a glamour on him before putting his hoodie over his head to cover his face. Nobody could see his face with the hoodie and with the glamour even if somebody saw his face the change was big that they didn't recognize him.
Harry slips out of the side of the store and it looks like he walks out from Knockturn Alley, the few people that see him quickly try to not look at him afraid that they would get killed. With the dark cloak over his robes, Harry looks almost like a death eater and the people that see him think so.
Harry doesn't mind he need to go to Gringotts without being seen anyway. He did decide to take a little detour he walks towards Diagon Alley 93, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. When he looks at the store from a distance it doesn't look good. When he reached the store, it looks like it was ransacked, but Harry was happy there was no sign of a fight and if someone would fight it would be the twins. There was some blood and hoped it wasn't one of the twins or the Weasley family in general.
He feels people's eye on him and decided to quickly walk away towards Gringotts. He got the feeling he was being followed but knew if he reached Gringotts he would be safe like Sirius wrote in the letter.
28th December 1997, Gringotts wizarding bank, Diagon Alley
Less than 5 minutes later he walks into Gringotts and sees that even in Gringotts there were almost no people but he saw more goblins than normal and most of the goblins wore armor.
Harry walks to the front where he went when he wanted to enter his vault. The teller keeps telling his money and Harry waited until he was addressed. The goblin was surprised it looked like a death eater but his actions didn't look like a death eater.
Goblin teller said "yes?"
Harry said with a slightly different voice "could I speak with the account manager of the Potters and the Blacks?"
The teller looks around and says to one goblin something in Gobbledegook and the goblin quickly walks away. After a few minutes, the goblin comes back and nodded.
The goblin teller turns back to Harry and said: "follow him."
Harry gave a small bow as a sign of respect and said: "thank you."
When Harry reaches the goblin, he is suddenly surrounded by six goblin guards but they don't have their weapons aimed at him. Four goblins in armor were flanking the goblin and two goblins in armor were behind Harry.
Harry was following the goblin through multiple hallways. After almost 5 minutes they reached a door and the goblin Harry followed knocks on the door. Harry heard Gobbledegook and the door opens and the goblin guards push Harry inside when the goblin hold the door open.
28th December 1997, account manager office from the Potters and Black, Gringotts
Harry stumbles inside and the door closes. When Harry regained his footing, he sees that 8 goblin guards have their spear aimed at his throat. Harry was confused he just ask to see his account manager.
A goblin sits behind his desk and asks in English "who are you and why did you ask to talk to me?"
Harry said when removing his hoodie showing his face "I am Harry Potter-Black and I am here to get my lordship rings."
The account manager says "I am Bonecrusher and you don't look like Harry Potter-Black."
Harry respond "if you allow me to grab my wand, I can cancel the glamour I use."
The guards glanced at Bonecrusher who nodded and the goblin guards lower their weapons. Harry grabs his wand point at his head and said "Finite Incantatem."
All the goblin sees the glamour disappear and see the raven black hair, green eyes, and his famous scar. Bonecrusher said "now you look like heir Harry Potter-Black. Please take a seat."
The goblin guards went back to their position two on the outside two next to the door on the inside and four behind Bonecrusher. Harry takes a seat and said "account manager I apologize for the use of glamour but I didn't have another choice. I also want to apologize for not saying who I am to the teller."
Bonecrusher said, "Heir Potter-Black I understand the only thing I hoped was a message that you would come or asked for a portkey that would bring you to me directly than everything was not needed."
Harry says "I am very sorry account manager Bonecrusher but until yesterday I had no idea that I had an account manager or that I am the heir to the Black family. My godfather didn't have time to tell me and Dumbledore also didn't tell me anything."
When Harry said Dumbledore, he started to feel angry again but keeps it down, he is mad at Dumbledore, not his account manager. Bonecrusher was confused but didn't show it. He understands that Sirius Black didn't tell him anything with his extended stay in the wizarding prison Azkaban, but why does Dumbledore matter.
Bonecrusher decided to ask "I understand that Lord Black didn't say anything but why do you mention Dumbledore?"
Harry said, "when Sirius Black, my godfather was throwing in prison while he was innocent Dumbledore became my magical guardian."
Bonecrusher shouted, "NO HE SHOULDN'T YOUR PARENTS WILL HAS FORBIDDEN IT."
Harry said, "is it true that my parents will was sealed by Chief Warlock?"
Bonecrusher still seeding with anger nodded and added: "I advise you to open it, as heir you can."
Harry nodded and said, "I agree so could we please open my parent's last will?"
Bonecrusher nodded and said something in Gobbledegook. One guard went through a door on the right side of the desk and returned less than a minute later. Harry was confused because the guard returned soon but without anything.
Bonecrusher looked at Harry and said, "will I think no witch or wizard is stupid enough to claim they are Harry Potter at this moment I need seven drops of your blood, to prove your identity."
Harry looked a bit confused. Bonecrusher grabbed a knife and a blank piece of parchment out of his drawer and said: "slid the palm of your hand and let the blood drop on the parchment."
Harry shakenly grab the knife and cut the palm of his hand. When the seventh drop of blood fall on the document the wound closest himself and Harry sees the blood-forming his name and parentage. Bonecrusher looks at the document and just nodded and took the knife and parchment from Harry. Bonecrusher put it away and looks back at Harry without saying anything.
A few minutes later a goblin comes in with two items. The first is a stack of documents and the second was a crystal ball like prophecies were saved in.
Bonecrusher asked, "do you want something to drink heir Potter-Black?"
Harry said, "please call me Harry account manager Bonecrusher and if it is possible, I would like some tea."
Bonecrusher said, "of course Harry."
Bonecrusher said something in Gobbledegook and the goblin quickly left to return with two glasses and a teapot.
Bonecrusher said "not many goblins can't enjoy the taste of tea however I am one of the ones that can enjoy it" while pouring himself and Harry a cup of tea.
When Bonecrusher was done he asked Harry "Harry do you want to read your parent's last will or do you want to see and hear it?"
Harry first was I can see my parents and wanted to say that but when he opened his mouth nothing came out. Harry thought 'why? And then remembered what happened when I talked with Sirius in my dream and I cried. It was only a dream but felt so real and it will certainly happen when I see my parents.'
Harry opened his mouth this time and said: "I prefer to read it."
Bonecrusher looked through the document and grabbed a few and said: "this is your parent's last will."
Harry asked, "what are those others document if I may ask?"
Bonecrusher said 'don't worry about that Harry we will talk about that later, now before you read your will is there something else?"
Harry thought for a moment 'if I am Lord Black, I can accept Andromeda back into house Black and added Dora and Remus into the house and the ancestral house accepted me and also did the wand.'
Harry said, "could you send a message and portkey to get Andromeda Tonks, Nymphadora Tonks she is pregnant if that is important and Remus Lupin to come here, I need to talk to Remus and have house of Black business with all of them."
Bonecrusher said, "of course Harry we will send one of our owls."
Harry said, "I don't mean to sound disrespectful but I need to be sent a fast a possible."
Bonecrusher said, "well you can request an eagle to deliver the message as a most ancient and most noble house, we offer the eagle service without fee for the most ancient and most noble houses."
Harry replied happily "if you could send it with an eagle, I would be thankful."
Bonecrusher said something in Gobbledegook to the goblin that has just entered and he quickly leaves.
Harry decided to focus on his parent's last will.
This is the last will
of
James Charles Potter, Lord of the most ancient and most noble house of Potter
Lily Rose Potter néé Evans, Lady of the most ancient and most noble house of Potter.
I, James Charles Potter in sound mind (shut up Padfoot and Moony) and body and under no influence and with my free will.
I, Lily Rose Potter néé Evans in sound mind and body and under no influence and with my free will.
We render all previous wills null and void before this day, 31st September 1980. We leave the following things to:
To Sirius Orion Black my brother in all but blood and a good friend getting used to but we both love you. We leave you 50.000 Galleons we know you don't need it but see it as everything we went through together and every time, I hexed you, Sirius.
As his godfather, we leave you, Harry James Potter, to be his magical guardian until his majority or you deem him old enough for emancipation. You will get 5.000 Galleons every year until his 8th birthday then it will be 7.500 Galleons and when he enters Hogwarts 8.000 Galleons and his 16th birthday 10.000 Galleons to take care of Harry and provided him everything he needs. All will be paid out of the Potter family vault and I would prefer if you raise him at Potter Manor in Wales. Sirius will also be regent Potter and holds the wizengamot seat until Harry reaches his majority or becomes emancipated and want to take the seat on the wizengamot at the age of 21.
To Remus John Lupin my brother in all but blood and my best friend Remus. We will leave you 50.000 Galleons and a tap to use by Madam Malkin that will be paid out of the Potter family vault. Remus my best friend I leave you all the needed ingredients for the wolfsbane potion for the next 5 years and wolfsbane potions under stasis charm for the first 5 years, I wish I could do more.
We also want you to be the secondary godfather for Harry when Sirius does something stupid you will be there to correct him and be Harry's honorably uncle. Unfortunately, due to your furry problem, you can't become Harry's guardian, but we know you will never hurt him, we hope that is enough for now.
To Alice and Frank Longbottom, we leave you 50.000 Galleons and some seeds of our more valuable plants. We do hope you can give Remus more potions ingredients to help with his furry problem. Frank, I hope that after you-know-who we can remake the Great Alliance and our sons grow up together and be best friends. Alice, I hope that Harry can meet you, his godmother soon without the danger that looms everywhere. Do not forget our promise to each other that we both finish our education as mediwitch and continue soon and become employed by the DMLE as field healers. I hope Frank can become a hit-wizard very soon I heard that he just a few months behind James and Sirius.
To Peter Pettigrew, we leave nothing, not even one Knut. YOU TRAITOR. If we died while we were in hiding for you-know-who …. Pffff. Peter Pettigrew was our secret keeper.
YOU TRAITOR HOW COULD WE TRUSTED YOU AND WE WERE FRIENDS. WE WERE EACH OTHER DORMMATES FOR 7 YEARS. WE HELPED YOU WITH SCHOOL AND WE WENT TO SO MUCH TOGETHER. YOU COWARD YOU HAVE NO PLACE IN GRYFFINDOR YOU FILFTH SMILEY RAT NO WONDER YOU ANUMAGUS FORM WAS A RAT BECAUSE YOU ARE NO BETTER THEN ONE.
Dumbledore knows this, he even suggested it because Sirius is too predictable and we agreed. If we died and you-know-who is gone we expressed that this last will need be shown to make sure Sirius doesn't get blamed and imprisoned for something he didn't do.
To Andromeda and Ted Tonks, we leave you 25.000 Galleons for Andromeda helping us as law witch, mediwitch and delivering Harry. Ted for you in helping as law wizard and make Andi happy. We are happy that you both found love and please give Dora our love, I hope we can see her grow just like our own son. I still see Dora's smile when she saw Harry for the first time.
To Arthur Septimus Weasley (and his family), Lily and I want to thank you for your help in the ministry and Molly with Harry. Lily and Molly talked about a marriage contract between Harry and Ginny, we should talk after you-know-who is gone or at least defeated. Arthur is also want to thank you and Molly. Harry and Ginny looked so cute together and when Luna is there they all play so happily together. Maybe the barbaric laws work out for Harry, Ginny, and Luna.
We leave you and your family 50.000 Galleons to renovate the house as you talked about. We could never repay you but I hope this will come close.
To Selene Lovegood, we leave you 25.000 Galleons to travel and find the creatures you want just like your husband and start the magazine you always wanted. Selene, one of my best friend, Luna looks so cute just like you. I hope that Harry and Luna will be good friends and maybe more. Who knows?
To Bellatrix Black, we give you 25.000 Galleons but only if you are divorced from Rodolphus Lestrange and don't follow your precious dark dork. James that is childish. What happened to you Bella even though you were older you still liked talking with us and your sister Cissy and Andi. We hope that you will find your way and come back to us. Me, James and more importantly Sirius.
To Narcissa Black, we give you 25.000 Galleons if you are divorced for Lucy and don't recognize you, so-called son, if he looks like his father. We also want to know the truth about if you are his mother. Narcissa, Cissy I never hated you and I accept your apology I wish I could say that to you. James told me about the barbaric laws when you have multiple houses that have a wizengamot seat. I am sorry I reacted the way I did I am sorry, but I will respect the traditions even though I still find it barbaric.
To Amelia Susan Bones, we give 25.000 Galleons and thank you for your help when Sirius and I were becoming aurors and helping us becoming hit-wizards now. I hope that I can alter this later and that both Sirius and I survived to become hit-wizards. We don't want to offend you but if you ever need help with Susan don't be afraid to ask our family. We didn't forget what her parents and we didn't and keep it as long as you and Susan want. I know I should be the last one to say this but don't let you-know-who stand in the way of your happiness, Sirius really loves you just give him a chance. Yes, what Lily said, give him a chance he will surprise you.
To Jacob and Isabel Greengrass, we give you 25.000 Galleons because you don't need it, but I am sorry that the Great Alliance disappeared before you could join and make the most powerful block of votes ever made in the wizengamot. We hope to see you because we have a proposing for you. Isabel, I love you as one of my best friends and hope to see you soon without the danger.
To professor Minerva McGonagall we leave you 25.000 Galleons to do with as you please and we give you my and some of Lily's transfiguration notes. Minnie, I know Sirius, Remus, Peter and I have given you many grey hairs and I don't apologize for that, but I want you to know I loved you Minnie and you were one of the best godmothers I could wish for and that is not mentioned Poppy who always looking out for me. I must say my mother had the best friends. Professor McGonagall, you were one of my favorite teachers. I want to thank you for all the years you taught me and help adjust to the wizarding world and talk to me when it got too much and accept the tradition even if they are barbaric.
To professor Filius Flitwick, we leave you 25.000 Galleons to train duellers, write books or do whit it as you please. Professor Flitwick, I want to thank you for your help with dueling that I could later use in fighting death eaters and other wizards during my job as being an auror. Professor Flitwick, you were one of my most favorite teachers and I give you my notes on charms that Remus and I thought about and some that worked.
In case that Sirius isn't possible to take care of Harry James Potter they people that will take care of him are in order and if possible live with Harry in Potter Manor or account manager will get you there if you don't know where it is:

Filius Flitwick
The London Orphanage to find a muggleborn family with the help of Professor Minerva McGonagall
In all cases allow Remus Lupin to be in his life even if he ends in the London orphanage which is run by Father George, a squib. Bellatrix and Narcissa Black are not included as long as they are married to death eaters or have any ties to dark families or suspected death eaters.
Professor Dumbledore will not be his magical guardian as he has already many responsibilities and we don't want to give him too many things to do.
Under no circumstances will our son Harry James Potter be placed by my wife Lily's muggle sister Petunia Dursley néé Evans and her husband Vernon Dursley. They loathe magic with their whole being and I know that Harry will be treated badly.
Everything else we leave it to our only son and heir Harry James Potter. The Potter family vault, the Peverell family vault, all properties the Potter's own and the Peverall house. Also all valuables, portraits, and jewelry in the Potter vault. My personal vault will become Harry's trust vault that will annually be refilled to 5.000 Galleons every year and when Harry reaches his owl year it will be 10.000 Galleons annually to be refilled from the Potter family vault. My vault will be emptied and go to the Potter family vault my old vault will be returned to Gringotts.
This will was witnessed by:
Sirius Orion Black (godfather for Harry James Potter)
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore (Chief Warlock of the ministry of magic, Great-Britain, and headmaster of Hogwarts)
Goblin king Ragnok (requested by himself)
Account manager Bonecrusher (account manager of the Potters)
Harry was confused if Dumbledore knew than everything Sirius said made even more sense. Harry would get his head around it 'why would Dumbledore not help Sirius and why did he want me to return to the Dursleys every summer.'
Harry was still confused a few minutes later when there was a knock on the door. When the door opens, he sees …
Let's end it here. I think most people will think they know who but it will be a surprise trust me. Please PM or review and let me know what you think about this chapter and story. The next chapter will probably take some time and my next update will be my other story.
Next chapter Remus Lupin, Dora and Andromeda Tonks will come and will be surprised and relieved. What happened when Harry was in the study and probably a surprise.
