The next day, Remus woke up groggy but eager to hear the Wills. "They will be put into a special box that slightly muffles them So the volume doesn't hurt your ears, I assure you it does nothing else but lower the volume." Remus nodded excitedly; he trusted the Goblins fully and said as much to his healer who grinned viscously. "Now, do you want to listen to them in order or do you have a preference?" Remus swallowed "I'll listen to them in order, I assume Lord Potter is first?" He asked weakly. The healer nodded and brought out two orbs, tapping one and a small holographic image of James appeared.
"Right then, here we go..." Time seemed to stop Remus thought he was prepared to hear his friends voice again but he was not, not in the slightest. Tears gathered in his eyes as he watched James fidget briefly before straightening up. Looking up and straight into Remus' eyes James began his will. He cleared his throat and spoke. "I, Lord James Charlus Potter, of sound mind, body, and magic declare this to be my last will and testament. I revoke any and all Wills previously made by me and I appoint my estate manager Ironclaw as my regnant.
To Sirius Black, I leave 1,000 galleons, my love, and a plea to help raise your godson with the kindness and love you didn't get as a child, and remind you that both your pride and your guilt need to be balanced. You can be proud, but never be prideful. Just as you can feel guilty, but don't let it consume your mind.
To Remus Lupin, I leave the deeds to Holyhead Cottage and Moon Castle, and 20,000 galleons. Use the money to start your own business Mooney, or save it. But you are not to think of this as charity. With the current laws they are for survival and I will not have you living in a shack or homeless. Love you Remmy, take care of yourself.
To Severus Snape, I leave my deepest apologies and ask you not to take out my or my friend's past actions in my son. He has done nothing wrong and it would be cruel to punish him for the sins of his father should I not survive.
To Peter Pettigrew, I leave you 1,000 galleons and my love and wish for you to do more of what you love in life Wormtail. Go explore the world... just remember to check in yeah?" James' face hardened before he spoke again, "If I die by Voldemort's hand I leave you nothing but my hatred for you are our Secret Keeper peter, and we would only be dead because of you. Wormtail, a name given in friendship. A name given because your animagus is a rat." He straightened up and shook us head a little before continuing.
"Everything else goes to my wife Lady Lillian Potter neè Evans. Should she die with me everything is to go to my Son and Heir Hadrian James Potter." He took a step back and seemed to freeze as if he were waiting for something. Remus didn't notice. Tears were streaming down his face for multiple reasons, hearing his late friend's voice, the betrayal of Peter who was the real Secret Keeper, and Sirius. His heart was simultaneously soaring and plummeting at the reveal that Sirius isn't and wasn't the Secret Keeper. He's been in Azkaban for almost 6 years now, for a crime he didn't commit! Sharpwood waited as Remus took a few minutes to compose himself. He gave her a weak smile and nodded and she turned and tapped Lilly's Will. Again her figure appeared like James' had and Remus had to hold back another sob. She scratched her arm before straightening.
"I, Lady Lillian Potter neè Evans of sound mind, body, and magic declare this to be my last will and testament, and revoke any and all Wills previously made by me. I appoint Ironcalw S my regent, for he has helped the Potter's prosper all these years and I hope he can help us in the future as well.
To Sirius Black, I leave you 100 galleons, because even if you don't want to be, you are Lord Black and I know the Black family has enough money. I also leave you my love and the muggle hair products you always steal from me. They're under a stasis charm so they won't go bad. I love you Padfoot, always remember that." She took a breathe before continuing.
"To Peter Pettigrew, I leave 1,000 galleons and the means to build yourself a house in your favorite spot once you find it. I know you felt left out a lot of the time but you are one of our dearest friends and all of us love you so much Pete..." her soft warm smile morphed into a cold glare "But if I have died by your hands, and yes I mean your hands because you are our Secret Keeper and our blood will forever be on your hands even if you didn't physically kill us I leave you nothing but the guilt you will carry for the betrayal and death of two of your closest friends. Friends who loved you and cared about you." She took a breath, huffing it out and closing her eyes for a few minutes before opening her eyes again.
"To Remus Lupin, I give you my love and leave you everything in Vault 394, which includes Muggle Psycology books. They'll help you understand why you're insecure and that all your insecurities are all just lies. I also leave you to care for your godson Hadrian James Potter, should the laws eventually change. I know you'll most likely already be helping Sirius raise him but if the laws dochange I want you both to have legal joint custody.
Everything else goes to my husband Lord James Charlus Potter. If we should perish together everything goes to either Sirius or Remus until Harry reaches majority and can take over." Lilly paused for a minute and her face darkened again her green eyes fierce "Under no circumstance is hadrian to go to my sister Petunia Dursley neè Evans. I know in my heart that she and her husband will be nothing but cruel to my baby boy. James and I agree that Harry should stay in the wizarding world, and if none of his listed guardians are available to take care of him, he is to go to a light or grey family." She stepped back and the orbs joined together.
James spoke, fiddling with Lilly's hand. "We have a message for Harry for when he's older. Hopefully we never have to give it to him." A regretful smile shown on both Lilly and James' face as they squeezed each other's hand. Remus couldn't hold back the tears that fell. "To our son, Harry, please know that your mother and I love you dearly and always will, no matter what. Nothing will ever make us stop loving you." Lilly nodded a tear rolling down her cheek. James continued; "If we have passed away please remember that we will always be watching over you, until the very end." Here Lilly clears her throat and chimes in, voice still thick from unshed tears. "We've decided to put some memories in stasis just in case, either for now, or for later down the road, so you can know and feel how much we love you my baby boy." She smiled again but a tear slipped down her face. She brushed it away without a thought and with a bright smile. Remus let out a small sob unsuccessful in trying to stop his tears. He was crying for his lost friends, his lost pack, his lost cub and most importantly his lost family. How six years could've gone so fast yet the pain feels as if it just happened yesterday was beyond him but it was there and his heart ached. The lost days and the hole left by his missing friends. Remus cried again, longer, unable to stop the tears. After twenty minutes red eyed and sniffling the beginning of a headache forming Remus nodded to the healer in thanks for the tissues and for pausing the will. She tapped them again and the reading resumed.
James spoke again. "Regarding Hadrian's guardians; to whom it may concern be it either of his godfathers or someone else, Hadrian has displayed certain gifts that will undoubtedly startle you, but know that they are all genetic and run in the family. If you doubt us it can be proven easily. Now the most..." James looked at Lilly and scratched his head messing up his hair in the process "the most startling one we found out is that Hadrian is a parselmouth. We discovered it by accident when Lilly was trying to garden-" Lilly interrupted him pulling her hand out of his and smacking his arm "Trying to garden?!" my garden is lovely! It's not a magical garden James I've already explained this to you! Muggles don't have semi-intelligent plants that can comprehend us!" James laughed while Lilly huffed and smacked him again.
"Anyway Lils and I were gardening and didn't see the little thread snake that curled up with Harry, come to think of it I think it was a baby too.. can't be too sure about that though. But because Harry can't really talk he was just babbling to the little hatchling in parseltongue, sounded like a bunch of wet hissing. Lilly was terrified but I was able to calm her down." James laughed as Lilly had turned red during the story. She muttered something and he laughed again before continuing.
"The next ability is just as rare but it's a far deeper family trait. Because Black blood runs though him from both myself and later Sirius after he blood adopted him, Harry's begun to show signs of being a metamorphagus. Now normally we wouldn't have done this but with circumstances currently how they are and whispers floating around about Dumbledore's true intentions we've decided to put a mild block on Harry's core. We plan on taking it off as soon as we can. No one but Lilly and I know it's there but if something happens to us we've decided to leave it in our Wills as a precaution. We don't want anything bad to happen if it's not addressed.
Finally we want to thank whoever is taking care of my son and Heir, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts." He and Lilly straightened up and took each other's hand, and in perfect sync with each other said "We Lord and Lady Potter declare these are our Wills. We bind a part of our magic to them and bless them in the Old Ways so that they may be fulfilled." James voice rises, strong and unwavering while Lilly becomes silent. "I James Potter descendent of Gryffindor and Prevelle-" his voice drops and Lilly's come in Strong and clear "And I Lilly Potter, descendent of La Fey and Lady Magic herself-" James voice rejoins Lilly's as they finish the ritual "-declare these to be true, binding, and legal. Shall anyone interfere with the reading we declare a blood feud and attempted line theft. So we say, so more it be." Even in memory form the magic that flowed from Lilly and James Potter was staggering. As their forms faded back into the orbs which had separated once more, Remus sat in his bed eyes wet and heart hurting.
One thought running in his mind. He needed to find his cub. "Sharpwood please send a message to the head of the search team, tell them "please find my godson as quickly as possible. I fear the absolute worst for him." She nodded and packed away the Wills Planning on bringing them directly to Ironclaw so he could review them and start the paperwork and sending out belongings. Remus sat back eyes closed. He needed time to process all of what the wills had revealed about Peter and Sirius and why James and Lilly would be suspicious of Dumbledore and he also needed to know who put the blocks on him. Oh what was he going to do?
