Reunions
.
Ahsoka and Harry sat down in the chairs indicated as the goblin took his place opposite them.
"So." He said, "You are here to claim the Potter vaults for your son, Harry Potter?"
Ahsoka nodded and the goblin stared at her.
"But Lily Potter is dead."
Ahsoka lowered her hood, Harry following suit, and the goblin stared at her in shock.
"My name is Ahsoka Tano. I am a Togruta from a distant land beyond the stars, brought here through means unknown to me. I rescued Harry from those who would abuse him and took him as my son."
The goblin remained motionless, his gaze still fixed on her.
"Before we continue, may we know your name?"
"Bladestone." The goblin finally managed, then he closed his eyes and shook his head. "My apologies, Lady Tano, you caught me by surprise."
"Perfectly understandable." Ahsoka smiled and the goblin nodded firmly reaching under his desk and pulling out a small flask and a goblet. Placing the goblet on the desk, he opened the flask and poured some of its contents into the cup. The liquid, a glowing, pealescent white, seemed to drift down, settling in slow, sinuous waves.
"Young sir, if you can place three drops of your blood in the goblet, we can verify your identity."
Harry nodded and accepted the small knife that Bladestone offered him hilt first. Carefully making a small incision near the base of his thumb, he let three drops fall into the goblet, then he cupped his hand and closed his eyes in concentration. A familiar pair of hands closed around his and together they sealed the cut, not even leaving a scar. Opening their eyes, they saw Bladestone staring at them, a small fabric pad in his hand.
"I… was going to offer this healing pad." Bladestone explained slowly, his eyes wider than ever as they focused on the unscarred skin. "But I see you didn't need it… well, time to get on with the test."
Pulling out a sheet of parchment and a silver rod, he stirred the contents of the goblet until the white glow suddenly turned a flickering red, then he poured out the contents into the center of the parchment. The liquid seeped into the parchment and then a picture of Harry's head appeared, with some illegible sript underneath. Bladestone looked at it and nodded.
"Welcome to Gringotts, Heir Potter. According to the terms of the will, now that you are eight years of age, you can claim the Heir ring and have access to both the trust vault and the family vault, although you can take money from the trust vault only."
Harry nodded as Bladehook pulled a file out of a drawer and opened it. Selecting a sheet from it, he passed it across.
"Here we have a listing of the properties owned by the Potter line. In addition to the Manor, you have several holiday homes available to you, one in France, another in America… Florida, one in Italy. You did have one in Cornwall, but by the terms of the will, it was gifted to your parent's friend, Remus Lupin."
Ahsoka looked at the map and giggled. "Wow, that cottage is really close to our cave."
Bladestone raised an eyebrow. "Both your godfather, Sirius Black, and his friend Remus Lupin have been overseeing a search for you for the last four years, Heir Potter. They will be overjoyed to find that you have been safe in Lady Tano's care."
"Why was Harry placed in slavery if he had a godfather to look after him?" Ahsoka asked and Bladestone pushed forwards another sheet.
"As you can see, after the deaths of Lily and James Potter, Sirius Black was imprisoned in Azkaban on suspicion of betraying them. Only after Heir Potter vanished did the truth come out, that the real traitor was Peter Pettigrew. Pettigrew is now locked in Azkaban, in Lord Black's former cell.
"The sealing of the wills was done by Chief Warlock Albus Dumbledore who sought to hide Heir Potter away from the remaining followers of Lord Voldemort…"
"Tom Marvolo Riddle." Ahsoka interrupted. "I came across some information about him, he was born Tom Marvolo Riddle, son of a non-magical father and a pure-blood witch from a rather… inbred line."
"Do… you know the mother's name?" Bladestone asked slowly and Ahsoka nodded.
"Merope Gaunt."
"I… see." Bladestone said slowly. "Well, Gringotts will certainly be looking into that. Anyway. Dumbledore sought to conceal Heir Potter from the wizarding world, so placed him with his mother's sister, using their familial relationship to place special wards to protect him. However, the home he chose was not a good choice. After you rescued him, Dumbledore admitted that he had erred and resigned as the Headmaster of Hogwarts, saying that he no longer trusted his judgement since if he had let down one child so grievously, how could he trust himself with an entire school?"
"At least he showed some wisdom." Ahsoka muttered and Bladestone nodded.
"Heir Potter, here is the Heir's Ring. Once you put it on, you will officially become the Heir of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter."
Harry nodded and accepted the box that Bladestone was extending. Opening it, he picked up the ring and looked at it.
"The Heir's Ring is worn on the right hand, middle finger, Heir Potter. Upon reaching the age of inheritance, being the last Potter, you will be expected to exhange the Heir's Ring for the House Ring, also granting you legal emancipation."
"The age of inheritance?" Harry asked curiously as he held the ring in his left hand.
"Eleven for human males, I believe." Bladestone said. "If you will please don your ring?"
Harry nodded and slid the overlarge ring onto his finger. As he let go, the ring seemed to shimmer and contract, resizing itself to fit perfectly.
"Should you wish, the ring will turn invisible, hiding your status as Heir of the House of Potter. Now, for the next item of business."
The door behind them opened and both Ahsoka and Harry turned to see a man with his clothes showing evidence of hasty dressing and his black hair tangled staring at Ahsoka in shock.
"As soon as we confirmed your son's identity, we sent a message. Heir Potter, Lady Tano, this gentleman is Lord Sirius Black."
Silence filled the room for a long moment, then Bladestone spoke in a softer voice. "Harry, meet your godfather."
"Hey… Harry." Sirius finally managed, a smile warring with his shcok. "You're looking good."
Harry stared at him in confusion. He seemed familiar, but…
Sirius suddenly chuckled and gave a sad smile. "You don't remember me at all, do you Prongslet? How about if I do… this!"
Harry's eyes widened as Sirius suddenly turned into a large black dog and his breath caught in his throat. "Unca pa'foo!"
Before Sirius could turn back, Harry had caught him in a strong hug, burying his face in his fur.
"Unca pa'foo!"
Sisius remained still until Harry slowly released him, then turned back into a human, his eyes filled with tears.
"It's so good to see you, Prongslet."
"Prongslet?"
Sirius nodded, his gaze still fixed on Harry. "Like me, James was an Animagus. His name was Prongs, he could turn into the most majestic stag you ever saw. Prongs, Padfoot and Moony, the Marauders."
"Moony?" Harry repeated. "Unca Moo'ie?"
"That's what you called him." Sirius grinned, ignoring the tears of joy flowing down his cheeks. "He's currently overseeing the Packs… I'll explain later, it's a long story, but he'll be overjoyed to meet you again. Now, Harry, who's this beautiful being you are with?"
Ahsoka hid a smile at Sirius' flirtatious tone as he looked at her, but Harry missed the subtext.
"Uncle pa'foo, this is my mother, Ahsoka Tano. She rescued me from the Ursies."
Sirius rose from his half-crouch and gave Ahsoka an elaborate bow. "Lady Tano, for saving my Godson, I owe you a debt I cannot repay. Name any service, and the House of Black shall fulfill your request. One question, though. What are you? During my travels as I searched for Prongslet, I've met Veela, Sirens, Mermaids, Selkies, Goblins, Vampires, Centaurs, House-elves, but I've not come across your species in my travels."
"I am a Togruta." Ahsoka smiled. "As for how I came to be with Harry, that is a long story."
"And one that can wait for now." Sirius decided. "But I have to know, where have you both been for the last four years?"
"Cornwall."
"What?" Sirius said in shock. "But… Moony lives there! He was searching too, how could he have missed you?"
.
"Great Merlin! You're the Sunset Lady!"
Sirius blinked at Remus' shocked announcement as Ahsoka exited the Floo, Harry clasped firmly in her arms. The next sentence deepened his shock further.
"And you're the Dawn Boy! I've been researching you two for years!"
Sirius decided to step in. "Moony, this is Lady Ahsoka Tano and her son whom we have both been searching for…"
"Harry?" Remus gasped, his eyes almost bulging. "Where have you been?"
.
Sirius stepped into the cave. The entrance to the cove had been hidden by a fold in the rocks and bushes which he suspected had been carefully shaped to enhance concealment without impeding access. The cave itself, shielded from the vision of passing boats, was reachable by stairs carved into the rock. Had it not been for Ahsoka's lack of wand, he would have suspected magic.
The cave itself was amazing. Light was admitted through transparent sheets of a material that he didn't recognise. A table and kitchen were on one side while a curtained alcove held a stone toilet. What caught his attention, though, was the slightly-steaming large bath almost large enough to qualify as a small swimming pool. Ahsoka followed his gaze.
"You don't have a separate bathing room?"
"We didn't really need one." Ahsoka shrugged as Harry towed Remus in. "Besides, it keeps the cave warm during winter. It'll be a shame to leave the cave."
"Maybe you won't have to." Remus mused. "Sirius, remember the project Lily completed just before she and James went into hiding?"
"Which one?" Sirius asked, moving to look at the kitchen area. "The runic arrays to protect electronics from whatever causes them to fail at Hogwarts? The mage-scanning arrays for hospitals? The runic transport-doors? The…"
"That's the one!" Remus interrupted. "The transport-doors. Short hallways that act like Vanishing Cabinets. We set one of them up in the Mansion, put the second one here and the Cave becomes a really neat refuge."
"The mansion and the inner grounds are still in lockdown." Sirius sighed. "How do you intend… to… get… oh. Right. Prongslet. Sorry, wasn't thinking."
"You never do." Remus bantered.
Sirius smirked as he glanced at the two beds at the back of the cave, then round at where storage holes had been carved into the wall. "You know, you're quite the interior decorator. I love what you've done with the place. It's amazing what you've done with such a modest budget. I like that boulder, that is a niiice boulder… ow! Moony!"
Remus pulled his elbow back in and nodded slowly. "We can probably fit the door in this part of the wall here, if you're willing to carve it out a bit. Each Door is actually about four foot deep to allow the runic arrays to be inscribed correctly."
Ahsoka nodded as Remus used a piece of chalk to mark out an area. "Is this accurate?"
"Pretty close, but depending on how long it takes to carve out the rock, it might be best to wait so that we can get a better fit."
"Well then, let's go and see those doors." Ahsoka said with a smile. "And we may as well see this manor while we're at it."
Chuckling, Sirius pulled out a short length of rope. "This is a Portkey, it'll take us to the my home and the Manor is literally just up the drive."
.
"I don't think I like Portkeys." Harry groused as Remus helped him up while Sirius offered his hand to Ahsoka.
"The landings do take some getting used to." Remus admitted as Ahsoka released Sirius' hand with a grateful smile. "Anyway, Potter Manor is this way."
Sirius transformed and bounded off, barking exitedly and Remus facepalmed. "Dammit, Padfoot, must you keep doing this to me?"
Ahsoka gave him a curious look and Remus explained. "Ever since it was publically acknowledged that Sirius was an Animagus, he's been transforming all the time as well as giving cut-price lessons in how to become Animagi using the Marauder Method between his trips searching for Harry. Fortunately, I managed to persuade him to limit his students to those who had already attained their OWLs, although he's given any Weasley who has completed a year of school free lessons as part of their reward for helping to capture Pettigrew."
"Interesting." Ahsoka mused. "I wonder if it works for Togruta."
"Well, Harry'll get lessons for free." Remus said as they crested the rise and spotted Padfoot sprawled just outside a low gate set in a fence. "After all, he's the son of our best friend. How could we not teach him what we know?"
Ahsoka nodded, then grinned as Harry, who had run ahead without her noticing, tackled Padfoot, hugging him as Padfoot licked his face. Remus followed her gaze and laughed, then turned back to her.
"I have to ask… do you have magic as well?"
"I do, but I only know a few tricks, and I do not have a wand. I would like to learn more, though." Ahsoka confirmed and Remus frowned slightly.
"If word of this gets out… tomorrow we're getting you a wand, then Padfoot and I are giving you some intensive training in magic. By the time Harry goes to school, we should have you at least at NEWT level."
"Newt? And what are owls? You don't mean the birds, do you?"
"Magical exams." Remus said as they came to a halt by the gate. "Ordinary Wizarding Levels, or OWLs, and Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests, or NEWTS. Changing the subject, welcome to the Inner Ward Line of Potter Manor. Harry, you see the small pillar to the left of the gateway? Can you please place your right hand on it?"
Harry looked at the flat, rune-inscribed top of the chest-high (to him) pillar, then firmly pressed his hand against it. A glow of light surrounded him, then the fence seemed to shimmer as something faded.
"Alright!" Sirius exulted, having returned to human again. "Let's go! Potter Manor! It'll be wonderful, seeing my old room again!"
Ahsoka and Harry both looked at Sirius in confusion.
"What? James was my brother in all but blood. After my family cast me out, he had me live here. Howabout once we have you settled in, I show you where the broomsticks are stored!"
"Broomsticks?" Harry asked. Remus shook his head.
"Dammit, Padfoot."
