Chapter Three: I'm a What?
The characters that are from the HP universe belong to J.K. A few characters will be invented, but they will be easy to recognize.
A mention in the top section of Chapter Four for who ever guesses where I got the title for this chapter. Here is an easy hint, reread Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Enjoy!
Also special thanks to Sanna Black Slytherin for lots of good advice and input on past chapters! This chapter is dedicated to you!
When Harry and Morgan stopped moving, Harry was pleasantly surprised that he didn't feel nauseous after the ride. In fact he felt no discomfort from the ride at all. Looking around, Harry noticed he was standing in what appeared to be a bank, but the tellers were…. Well, creatures was the best guess harry could come up with. Then he remembered the warning he received and remembered they were called goblins. The minute one of the goblins saw them land, he approached the trio and began to speak with Merlin and Morgan in what Harry assumed was the goblin language. Finally, Morgan turned to Harry, taking his hand started to walk towards one of the doors at the back of the room.
Walking through the hall, which reminded Harry of a castle made of stone with torches every few feet, the last few days' events began to catch up with him. The beating he received, the pulse of energy, falling unconscious, waking up with his aunt actually crying for him and asking his forgiveness, meeting THE Merlin and Morgan Le Fay and finding out that they were not as similar to the folk tales and legends as he had thought, and now goblins exist and run some bank. Oh, and of course he couldn't forget the most important thing learned. He, Harry Potter a nobody was a Wizard! He could do magic! Everything about him was changing all because of….
"We're here Harry," said Morgan cutting off his train of thought. Seeing Morgan and Merlin give a small bow, he turned a saw an older looking goblin sitting on a throne and quickly copied their action by bowing as well. Hearing a gruff sounding laughter, he looked up to see the goblin rising from his throne and approach them.
"You three have no need to bow to me as you should know Merlin and you as well Morgan. As for Your Highness, now you know!" he said with what passed as what Harry thought was a rather vicious looking smile. "Besides, young Prince, it is I who should be bowing to you. I may be King of the Goblins, but you are destined to be King of all of Magical Britain. A realm known as the Magical Isles."
'Prince?' thought Harry. 'I'm a Prince? Then why did I live in such conditions? Why did I not know?'
Just like before, Morgan seemed to know what he was thinking and answered his many questions. "Yes Harry. You are Crown Prince Harold James Gryffindor Potter Pendragon, the forth royal with the name of Harry since King Arthur took the throne. You lived in those conditions because there is an evil warlock alive even now, though I'm sure your blast of magic that destroyed the wards hiding you in that home had some effect on him. That in turn is also why you don't know of this. Your aunt and uncle do not even know this fact. I'm pretty sure the old man has no idea who he is messing with either. He just hates the Potter and Gryffindor families. Contrary to popular belief, thanks to his meddling, no one remembers that he was in Slytherin house when at Hogwarts, but enough about him for now. We can talk about him later. Right now, King Ragnok has agreed to help us with your inheritance and Merlin Scale test among other similar exams. Just do what he tells you do."
"Can you stay with me?" Harry asked, sounding very much like the scared five year old he was.
"Of course," she said with a reassuring smile that made Harry feel completely at ease. Turning towards the Goblin King, he said, "I'm ready sir."
"Very well young Prince. This will not hurt too much. Just put your hand over the bowl on my desk over here. I will prick your finger and take a few drops of your blood. From this, we will be able to learn many things about you. Your lineage, where you stand on the Merlin Scale, any innate or hidden talents you may have, and your general health even. The method, though used only by goblins now, was invented by Merlin. The Merlin Scale was something Morgan came up with, though I still believe it was just to annoy Merlin," the goblin said with a small smirk on his face.
The fact that the goblin made that small joke helped reassure Harry that everything was okay, so he walked over to the desk and placed his hand over the bowl. A small prick and four drops of blood later, the quill next to the bowl started to write on its own on a piece of parchment laying nearby.

Harry was stunned. Never had he even heard of that much money, never mind owned it. Plus all of those castles and manors and businesses as well. It was mind blowing. The quill wasn't finished though. It was now writing other facts like his Merlin Scale rating, any innate abilities he had, and general health.
Morgan had earlier explained the Merlin Scale. It was one to one thousand. Zero to twenty was muggle/squib level. Twenty-one to fifty was the norm for a wizard or witch from birth to age ten to twelve, which was when training at school began. They needed at least a forty to be able to control their magic. A student from first to seventh year tended to have a magical range of fifty up to close around two hundred by seventh year. Magical maturity occurred between seventeen and twenty. Most witches and wizards would jump up between two hundred and four hundred at this time. Some, like Dumbledore, Voldemort, Morgan, and Merlin would go even higher. Merlin was one thousand. He set the top bar to date for magical ability. Morgan was 875. Voldemort reached 650 at the peak of his existence. Dumbledore was at 670 when he defeated Grindenwald and 655 by the time Voldemort came to power. By now, he was probably closer to 640. Harry's dad had been a 535, powerful in his own right, while Harry's mom had been even more powerful at 575.
It was no wonder that Harry fainted when he saw his reading. Sitting on the piece of paper next to Merlin Scale Rating was a 273. Merlin, Morgan, and Ragnok were also surprised. At most they expected a fifty, not anything that large for someone his age.
'He shall be a truly powerful ruler one day,' thought Ragnok. Merlin and Morgan's thoughts were along the same line.
"What of his health, Ragnok? And does he have any innate abilities?" asked Morgan. Ragnok turned the parchment towards her. His health overall actually seemed fine. He was a little on the small side and a little underfed, but the magical blast somehow fixed any broken bones or bodily damage ever inflicted on him. She was a little surprised to see under innate abilities phantasma, beast king (specialty snakes and other reptiles), polyanimagus, speed-read, hyperlangual, and mage-sight. She was a phantasma, so she knew how to train him for that. Being able to bend the shadows and shadow walk were just a couple of the highly useful abilities of this magic. The beast king bit he probably got from Godric since he was able to speak with animals as well. The specialty with snakes confused her because Godric's specialty was mammals, but she wasn't too concerned. Godric learned to speak with all animals eventually. Being a polyani as she called it would be extremely useful. He could register his main animagus or animal form and hide the other ones, though she wouldn't start teaching that till his forth or fifth year depending on his transfiguration abilities. Speed-read she also had. It enabled her to read books in a matter of seconds and completely remember and understand every bit of it. Hyperlangual was actually just the ability to learn multiple languages easily and rather quickly. The read-speed would also help with this. The mage-site was another thing she was familiar with. The ability to 'see' magic. Magic leaves traces wherever it was present, but only few can actually see it. Merlin, Morgan, Rowena, Lily, and now Harry all had the ability. She believed Dumbles and Voldy had it as well, but wasn't sure.
With this is mind, Morgan began planning a training schedule for young Harry. He could not learn any actual magic at this age, but some things like clearing and organizing his mind for occlumency, speed-reading, and hyperlanguality could be taught to anyone willing enough to learn. The ability to talk to animals was another trainable aspect. Wizarding history and potions were two other easy subjects to teach at any age, within reason. Politics could not be started yet, but the mannerisms of a Magical Royal normally began at a young age, so Merlin could easily help Harry just as he helped Arthur all those years ago. Maybe even start him up on self-defense and in a few years pick up sword fighting, a very noble art that he would need as King. Then maybe add simple things like money management and wise spending. Harry was set for life and then some, but she didn't want him to become wasteful with his money. It would be a good idea to get him used to that at an early age along with doing his share of the work rather than sitting back and letting servants do everything. The best rulers were willing to 'get their hands dirty' and the citizens tended to like these types of rulers more than not. She would also teach to him all about equality for all races, centaur, goblin, elf, wizard, and witch.
When Harry finally woke up, he felt a soft, smooth hand gently rubbing his hair in very comforting motions making him feel more at peace than ever before.
"Good morning Harry or should I say good afternoon," Morgan said with a smile. With a sigh of happiness, Harry turned towards her and smiled.
"Am I really that rich and own that much stuff?" he asked still amazed.
"You are and you do. You are also healthy besides the obvious malnutrition, which we can fix easily with a potion regime and good food. Its time to head to your home where everything will be explained to you and the Dursley's," she said.
Harry just nodded and got out of the bed he had been laying in. Morgan held out her hand, which he took and then they were gone.
A/N: So, what do you all think? I wanted him to be powerful, but not Merlin level. I also wanted some special powers without things like wandless abilities. Anyone can do that (in this fic) with enough practice. I also don't want him to be a parseltongue, so I made him a Beast King. He just has an easier time speaking with reptiles than other animals. In case you didn't guess, the Pendragon, Gryffindor, and Potter lines are all together on his dad's side. Cornwall, Ravenclaw, and Evans on his mom's. All will be explained soon. Please please please please please review! I love to see input from you guys so I know how I'm doing!
