Harry Potter & The Lack Of Faith
Chapter 9
"I have to go" sighed Harry forcing himself to get up, he had been feeling unwell all night. Sure he slept, but his body felt like it was about to blow up he wasn't sure how to explain. He certainly wasn't going to annoy Poppy because he had a bit of indigestion or so he kept telling himself.
"What's the matter?" demanded Poppy, she knew something was wrong with him. She had yet to see a problem with him getting up, Harry was used to getting up as early as six in the morning to make breakfast for the Dursley's.
"My stomach feels bloated that's all," shrugged Harry, he wasn't going to tell her he was feeling sick to his stomach sore, and agitated. He wasn't used to people even asking him if he was alright never mind wanting an answer.
"Hang on then, I'll get you a stomach settling potion" said Poppy going to the cabinet and getting the appropriate vial and gave it to Harry.
The smell was enough to knock someone off their feet, but Harry used to hiding things swallowed it without so much as a complaint and thanked her. He did feel a little bit better afterwards. He got dressed and made himself presentable for his godfathers last will and testament.
"Poppy?" asked Harry a curious look on his face.
"Yes?"
"How did Siri have a will? wasn't his things taken from him by the Ministry?" asked Harry.
Poppy swallowed hard before replying "He was never found guilty, without a trial his things remained in his control"
"Oh" said Harry, not that he had wanted the Ministry to take his godfathers things he had just been curious.
"Do you want me to come?" asked Poppy softly.
"Yes please" said Harry his green eyes showing just how sad he was, this would make it all the more real. Sirius was gone and wasn't going to come back, Poppy just hoped it didn't set Harry back.
"I'll just get my cloak" said Poppy quickly cleaning the hospital ward and heading to her office.

"How are the Occlumency lessons going?" demanded Dumbledore once he took a sip of his coffee.
"I cannot get into Potter's head at all, I tried for twenty minutes, from what I got from the boy Voldemort tried and failed as well. Hence why he's still alive and sane making my life a misery" sneered Severus, he felt horrible saying such things about Harry, how things change but he couldn't let Dumbledore know he now sided with Harry. He knew Dumbledore would get someone else to do his dirty work for him, if he knew Severus cared for him.
"Hm…I will go and see him tonight and see what I can get" frowned Dumbledore, he didn't like the sound of that. He needed those memories, blackmail came in handy he would have more spies - he especially needed to know more on this vampire. If the vampires had joined Voldemort they were in deep trouble.
"Good luck" said Severus.
"Luck has nothing to do with it" said Dumbledore smugly so sure of himself.
"Now I must be going Sirius Black's will is going to be read" sighed Dumbledore as if it was a heavy burden on his shoulders.
"Pft dead and still wont leave me alone" mumbled Severus angrily.
"Now now, enough of that Sirius was a good Order member" said Dumbledore. Plus there was so much money in the Black Vaults which he knew. He had helped himself to it more times than he cared to remember.
Now he was going to be able to actually spend it as he pleased, he had no doubt they would get a lot of money from Sirius after all his godson was part of the protection detail the order did. He was going to be a very rich man again, happy days to him of course the Order still needed paid but it was always next to nothing.
He was still angry about not getting the Potter money, today would brighten his spirits and change everything. No one knew that the Dumbledore fortune had all but disintegrated, his brother still had millions but he had spent it all, different charities, Order members and of course his living for the past one hundred and odd years.
The Longbottom's had left him nothing, which had genuinely surprised him he hadn't even been invited to their Last Will and Testament. However the thought of getting the Potter money had washed away the anger until he realised he wasn't getting anything from any of them. Needless to say he had been fuming for the past week, now he knew for sure it would all be forgotten.
"Good day Severus" said Dumbledore leaving through the floo, and made his way to Gringotts.

"Poppy what are you doing here?" asked a very surprised and startled Dumbledore, he had yet to see Harry.
"I've been asked to accompany someone to the reading of Sirius Blacks will" said Poppy, Harry and Poppy had decided against trying to hide him again.
"Who?" frowned Dumbledore only one person came to his head and he didn't like that thought very much 'Harry'.
She only confirmed his worst fears.
"Mr. Potter what on earth are you doing out of the hospital wing?" boomed Dumbledore angrily. "Do you not realise the danger you are in!".
"Gringotts is the most secure building in the world, I think I'm safer here than Hogwarts" said Harry softly.
Dumbledore was staring Harry straight in the eye and he couldn't get anything out of Harry's mind whatsoever. It looked like Snape had been telling the truth, he supposed he should be thankful otherwise Potter would be dead and the world would descend into darkness. It wasn't helpful when he couldn't read his mind, he didn't want his puppet doing things he shouldn't be without knowing.
"He is correct Mr. Dumbledore, he is quite safe here" said Griphook smugly. They took great pride in the fact Gringotts was the safest place in the wizarding world. Should be too everyone's money was there lights and darks.
"Hello Griphook" grinned Harry.
"H…How is it you know me?" asked Griphook wide eyed.
"You took me to my vaults when I was eleven still riding the cart?" grinned Harry.
"I am" said Griphook not looking happy.
"I'd do it for a living the rush is amazing" said Harry grinning manically he loved the adrenaline it was even faster than broomsticks.
"Harry it's the worst job a Goblin can have, he's at the bottom of the food chain" said Poppy quickly.
"Oh, well got to start somewhere" said Harry feeling rather embarrassed.
Griphook just smirked, leave it to Harry Potter to stun all the Goblins in Gringotts by saying he wanted a job that most Goblins hated. All because he loved the Adrenaline rush, clearing his throat he yelled.
"EVERYONE INTO ROOM 2 FOR THE READING OF SIRIUS BLACK'S LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT".
Everyone entered the room giving their letter of proof that they were asked to come to Griphook. Surprising Harry Draco and Narcissa was there too, he hadn't known Sirius would provide for them. He felt a sharp jab of jealousy that Draco would be getting anything, after everything he had said about Sirius. Upon taking a proper look at him he just shook his head, he looked run down as if he was afraid of something.
"Hello everyone if you are sitting here then another Marauder has died and Remus is the only one remaining typical Remus to outlive us all when he was adamant he would die first." grinned Sirius.
Harry noticed that Sirius was old in this will, he had made another one after breaking out of Azkaban.
"Lets get down to business to my good friend Remus I leave you 50 thousand galleons that should last you long enough. Take it my friend and get some decent robes for once in your life" grinned Sirius impishly the blue eyes twinkling merrily.
Remus laughed softly, how many times had Sirius tried to bribe him with money to get new robes…too many to remember.
"To Dumbledore I leave you Buckbeak find him a good home." said Sirius.
Dumbledore paled drastically, Grimmauld Place was lost to him, he just hoped the Death Eater bitch Bellatrix didn't get it. He was in trouble, he needed money desperately, and no one seemed to be in the mood to share. He sighed softly he would have to dip into the fake charities he had set up.
What did you think of Sirius' will? who else will be added? who will get things from Sirius? what will sirius give draco and narcissa? R&R plz
