"Oh my, guests! Must clean this filthy, filthy place. Can't have guests… Wait, after the rings, they are" the goblin shook his head "Welcome, dear friends. Now, how may I help you?"
"TimberRoot, we need the Slytherin Ring, the Evans Ring, and Spardas' Ring"
Immediately, they had the goblins full attention.
"The Demonic Ring of Sparda? The ring of which only a descendant of Sparda may wear? You're nuts! He only had two children, boys, who never came for their, inheritance, I was still a youngling, when Sparda gave his ring to us, warned us, he did, that the ring will allow the wearer the ability to summon any Demon, but no Devils, at the Wearer's Will. Silver hair, he had. And bright blue eyes to boot! Only the boy has silver hair, but not blue eyes. Such lovely eyes they were…"
"TimberRoot, the boy did a blood test, and his insignia was Sparda. Not just anyone can get that result. And Evens, the Angel. He's not fully human, if at all. By the Oath you gave to Lord Gringotts, you must give him the Ring!" the goblin stated.
TimberRoot glared, and then sighed.
"As you wish, but when he turns mindless, do NOT blame me, SnapRoot!"
TimberRoot turned and walked to different places, taking ring boxes, until he had three. He walked towards them and opened one of them, a silver ring with an emerald stone, a snake engraved in the stone. Harry put the ring on, and he knew the secrets of potions, spells against the Dark Arts, and the Dark Arts themselves. Next, TimberRoot handed Harry a silver ring, with a horse like thing, a Threstral, he noted, engraved. He put the ring on, and immediately he knew about Animagi, but, TimberRoot was just about to give the box containing Sparda's Ring, when they all heard lovely singing, giving them all a sense of peace. And then, he began glowing pure white. His eyes became pure white orbs. His strength increased, as well as how handsome he was. A holy aura came from him, his hair grew long, and finally his wings ripped out of his back. The Harry stood in his angel form.
"I haven't looked like this since I left my parents" he stated, before he closed his eyes and was back to normal.
All of them, even the goblins, stared.
"Harry… but… how?" asked Matthew.
Harry sighed. He knew that this was going to happen, he just knew it! And now, he might have to tell them his secret! Stupid ring.
"Matthew, Professor McGonagall, TimberRoot and SnapRoot, I used to be human. But then, after my first attempt at running away, and when I was taken home, I transformed. I am now half-angel, and half-demon" he said, as he looked up at them, proud of his heritage.
"Mr. Potter, or actually, confirmed Lord Slytherin-Evans, to us, it does not matter who or what you are. You are a client of Gringotts, an immensely powerful being, and only lastly, non-human. We, as goblins, and you, as a magical being, are not treated the same, but many people never knew about Sparda being a demon, and Evans being an angel. Very interesting thought, Evans was actually a first name, but she made it a surname so as to not confuse people. You have two seats. But now, the Ring of Sparda, the Devil"
TimberRoot opened the box, and the ring… it was the most magnificent thing any of them had ever seen. A bright red metal, which almost seemed to glow with unimaginable amount of power, making it seem like as though the ring was made from fire; stones of different origin seemed to have been melted into the metal itself, making a most wonderful display, but the true beauty was the gem, of which had demon skulls crushed under a demons' foot was engraved, was a red gem, and all could fell the demonic power from the gem.
"Sparda… He took a bit of the jewel from his own forehead…" TimberRoot stated in awe.
"Well, Lord Slytherin-Evans, put on the ring" SnapRoot said, nervous at what might happen.
Nodding, Harry put the ring on, and immediately power exploded from him. Everything in existence in Britain felt his power, windows shattered at the force of his power, and he began to change. His skin turned black; he had white horns, as well as glowing green eyes. Claws took the place of his fingernails, his teeth turned pearly white and grew to fangs. What seemed like wings came out of his back, but they seemed to make like a cape. There Harry stood, in his full demon form, but before any of them could do anything, he screamed in agony as a crackling red demonic aura came from him, joined a few seconds later by his holy aura. His screams went up a pitch as things from the whole of Britain began throwing themselves around, braking anything and everything in there path. Even people were thrown around, his power was so great. All items in the Misuse of Magic Department pointed towards Gringotts, making the workers there nervous. What kind of being has this amount of power? In Albus' Office, the magical equipment that he programmed to track Harry shone, showing him that Harry had a lot of power, way more than he could ever dream of having, and so he began planning. Meanwhile, Harry got new features. His horns vanished and was replaced by hair, while his skin now was a dazzling white. One eye stayed green, while the other changed blue. Now Harry looked like a demonic angel, but you could literally fell the power from him. As they looked at him, he changed back to normal but they could fell his new power. It felt like being by the sun, without the harshness. It felt like life itself. As they looked at him, his power got less and less until he had the same amount of power as Dumbledore and Voldemort combined. At Hogwarts, Albus saw this, and he decided to first see what he could do before really throwing his new plan at the boy. But first, he made a Floo call to Molly Weasley.
Back at Gringotts, the goblin known as TimberRoot could only stare. Lord Sparda was here.
"Lord Slytherin-Evans-Sparda, please wait a bit. Your ancestor, Sparda, was the friend of the Goblin Nation. Whatever we needed, he helped us. He left to the Bank a single sword, telling us that one day his descendant would come. It is one of a set of twins, Yamato and Sparda. Yes, he named a blade after himself. Many say that the blade was an extension of him. But be warned, the blade is very big" saying that, TimberRoot walked out from behind the table and walked out the door, the rest following him. As they walked, they heard a commotion.
"You can't just waltz in here like you own the place! The ministry has no say in what happens here" an obviously goblin voice said, as they came closer.
"Huh, like a bunch of non-humans like you can tell me, Delores Umbridge, what to do. I am here with Aurors as well as people from the Misuse of Magics Office, who detected that the surge of magical power came from here, within Gringotts. I have here a signed note from the Goblin Liason Office stating that I can search anywhere but in the Vaults themselves, now get out of the way, goblin"
They turned the corner and saw a toad like lady, she looked like one, at the least, and she seemed to be happy. Either that, or she caught some flies. As they walked forward, she turned and saw them. Noticing the rings, she realised that he was a Lord, a very powerful Lord, if three signet rings mean anything.
"Sir, any idea where the large amount of power came from? The Minister wants us to find and keep witches and wizards safe"
Immediately Harry was angry.
"What about goblins, elves, and all other magical creatures?"
"What about them? Only us humans are important"
She knew that she had said something that he didn't like, for immediately she was thrown back, and a sword in a glass case glowed as a man with white hair and blue eyes walked in.
"I believe you have something that belongs to me" he stated, as Delores turned and looked at him.
"And you are…"
"Call me Dante. Now, will one of you give me the blade of Sparda or will I need to kill for it?"
TimberRoot looked at Harry.
"Lord Sparda. This human wants the sword of your ancestor. You must get to it! Here is the key" TimberRoot handed him a key, and while Dante was occupied, he walked to the case.
Once he got there, still hearing Dante and Delores talk, more like argue from Delores' side, he unlocked the case and opened it. As he did, he could literally feel the power from the sword as he reached out and grabbed it. Power exploded from him, making Delores look at him, but this time, he didn't change form, and he stayed looking human.
"You! That power came from you! No one should have that much power" she stated as she stepped forward.
Right at that moment Albus, and the Potters, including Emily, stepped in. Albus came forward.
"I agree with you fully, Delores, which is why I insist that he goes back with his parents"
"NEVER! I'll never go back to them! I was locked in my room, no one to talk to, no one to see excluding my parents" a red tinge began to encircle him "They only came whenever they needed to feed me or so called punish me. I was once in my room when I heard the door UNLOCK and then in came my 'father', saying how I tripped my so-called darling sister, Emily. That was when I stopped hoping for a nice family. My sister blamed her tripping on me making her fall on purpose. I used a dark spell that let them feel and let me see their deepest darkest fears, and I was NOT included! The only reason I'm going to Hogwarts is because it is in the law, all children must go to a magic school!" his body was now crackling with his demonic aura "I gave up, not even Remus Lupin, my godfather, thought that I was any good. It hurt to think that not even my own family will love me. And now, they shall PAY!!!"
He changed to his demon form, and he almost flew forward when he heard TimberRoot call him.
"Lord Sparda, there is no need to kill them. After all, if what you say is correct, then they can be thrown into Azkaban, their property yours, and the title of Lord Potter yours as well. Emily would be under your custody, and you could treat her the exact way that your parents treated you, Lord Slytherin-Evans-Sparda"
Immediately whispers were heard as Lily glared at Harry.
"How dare you take my birthright"
At that moment, Dante's voice rang out through the hall.
"You do know that Sparda was a demon, right, maam? And he was no ordinary demon, he was a Devil, one of the elite, the most powerful"
As Dante said this, Delores' eyes grew with greed.
"Well then, he is not a human. This so-called Lord is a half-breed"
Immediately Spardas' Blade was buried in her shoulder, right between the joints, snapping her shoulder.
"Never, ever call me a half-breed, you old hag! If anything, you remind me of a toad!"
He pulled the blade out as Spardas' Ring glowed, and information about different demons ran through his mind.
"Faust! Come to me!"
Immediately a portal opened, and out floated some kind of robed figure. It had on a hat, had what seemed to be blonde hair, and a weird looking face, as well as ruby red claws.
"Faust, keep this old hag busy. I have a family member to greet"
Faust seemed to smirk as he called upon spikes that rammed into the ground around her as Harry walked to Dante.

If people have not realised, I like the Manipulative Dumbledore stories, especially when Harry has a reason to hate Dumbledore. He's called Albus, because lets face it, typing Dumbledore is long. Also, Harry is only really angry with his parents, sibling, and godfather in this one. Although that might change...
