Chapter 20:
The whole Potter family, including Harry, Hermione, James, Lily, Remus and Sirius floo to Gringotts bank in the morning. Between the elder Potters coming back and Harry and Hermione completing their bond, there was a lot to speak about.
Before the large group reaches the teller window, Griphook meets them. "Director Ragnok wants to review your account with you himself." The goblin turns and leads them through the twisting halls of the bank.
"Thank you for meeting with us Director. May your gold multiply." James bows to the goblin, Harry follows his father's example.
"It is good to see you and your Lady are back among the living Lord Potter. My first reason for requesting a meeting with your scion is foremost his and Mrs. Potter completing their bond. While reviewing the account in preparation for this meeting, I have come across a few discrepancies in the withdrawals. That was when I sent the note to Lord Black, seeing as he is the lad's guardian according to your will, but with you here this will be even easier. I only request that you and Lady Potter take a legacy test. Just to make sure we are dealing with the real Potters."
"I completely understand Ragnok. I'll go one better, how about we all take the test."
"Everyone, take a pin and prick your finger. Squeeze a drop onto the paper before you. The paper will disappear and another one will appear on the table in front of you telling you of your ancestry. Just because you are not blood related doesn't mean you are not an heir to something."
A few minutes later:
The group looks around the table, everyone wanting someone else to go first.
"Fine, I'll go first. "James Harrold Potter, son of Harrold Charlus Potter and Dorathea Potter 'nee Black. Lord of Houses: Potter, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Emrys."
Lily opens hers. "Lily Elaine Potter 'nee Evans, daughter of Paul Evans and Jessica Evans 'nee Walters. Lady of Houses: Potter, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Emrys by marriage. Heir to house: Hufflepuff by magic."
Next to open their paper is Harry. "Harrold James Potter, son of the Gods Mars and Bellona. Son of Lord and Lady Potter and Lord Black by blood adoption. Scion of Houses: Potter, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Emrys, Hufflepuff, and Black by blood adoption."
Hermione sits up straighter and opens her paper. She grasps Harry's hand hard. "Hermione Jean Potter 'nee Granger, daughter of Remus John Lupin and Rebecca Alice Snape. Scion of House: Lupin, Pendragon and Prince."
".."
Hermione looks across the table at her father, whose head was down and shoulders shaking. "You're my father? I didn't even know I was adopted. What was she like? What happened?" She asks in a soft voice.
When Remus raises his head, there are trails of wetness on his cheeks. "Yes, I am. Becky was great. We loved you pup. She was killed by her own father when he found out about you. We were on the way to get married when he attacked. She was only two weeks away from giving birth. The attack sent her into labor to protect you. She died from her injuries after you were out.
I don't think Severus even knows about you. He would be your uncle. James and Lily are your godparents, along with surprisingly Alec and Jane. You were raised with Harry for the first year of his life. You guys loved each other back then too. You would fall asleep holding hands.
When James and Lily were killed I couldn't support you as well with being a werewolf. Mom and Dad would have taken you but I actually didn't know where they were. I had my suspicions when I saw how you and Harry interact. I have never stopped loving you pup."
Hermione runs and collapses in his arms, "I love you too." She returns to her seat.
"I want you to have weekly checks also. I don't trust either of those two young Weasleys. I might as well go next."
"Lord Remus John Lupin, son of Michael John Lupin and Catherine Marie Lupin 'nee Cathur. Son of Lord and Lady Mars by blood adoption. Lord of Houses: Lupin and Pendragon."
Last to go was Sirius.
"Lord Sirius Orion Black, son of Gods Hades and Persephone. Lord of Houses: Black by blood adoption."
"That explains Mum's comment about my uncle and brother looking after me." Harry wonders aloud.
"Now that mess is out of the way, I want to tell you about the problems I have found with the Potter account. There were some withdrawals that have me worried. Have you ever given Albus Dumbledore or Molly Weasley rights to take money from the account?"
James and Lily shake their heads no. As does Sirius, he has the right to take money for raising Harry according to the will. Harry thinks for a moment. "I filled out a withdrawal slip, in the way that Griphook showed me. Molly took the money to buy my supplies this year. Now that I think about it, isn't the key to the vault always supposed to reside with the owner?" Everyone nods, wanting to know where this is going. "When I first came to Gringotts, Hagrid had my key and took it back from the goblin that took us to my vault. I doubt that it was with Hagrid for the ten years that I was at the Dursley's. I have yet to receive a key to the vault. The last few years I just have received the money that I ask for at the teller desk. I haven't been to the vault since my first year."
Ragnok slams a large button on his desk. Three goblins in armor rush in and wait for instructions. "This is getting settled today. I am running an audit of the account. Any activity not initiated by the people in this room will be stopped and reimbursed to the Potter vault. Lord Potter, Lady Potter, Hermione and Harry you will have new keys before you go home today. " He turns to the other goblins. "The Potter, Black, and Lupin Accounts are now under my purview. " They all nod. All six people got new keys, and were told to never let them out of their sight.
Back at the castle, the mood wasn't as good. Ginny received an owl from her mother that afternoon. Molly had gone to the bank and asked to speak to Hooknose, the goblin at the window told her that he had been let go for fraud that morning. Molly asked to go to Vault 13 to make a withdrawal . She was told that she had no rights to that vault. She raised a stink and was told that the owner had placed restrictments on who could use the account and no Weasley was on the list. When she raised the fact that there was a marriage contract for young Harry and her daughter, she was told that since the Potter seal was not on the contract, it was null and void.
Ginny hit the roof. She was supposed to be the future Lady Potter. Who could it be? She had a few options; Hannah Abbot, Susan Bones, Daphne Greengrass. They were old family friends with the Potters. The only one it couldn't be is Hermione. She's muggleborn, so there is no way that it could be started that early with her.
That wasn't the only bad news. Molly heard last night that Harry was getting weekly checks for curses and potions. They had to give up on the potions. Once they got home last night, Father was called away for work and had not returned yet. The Ministry must have had a bunch of raids. If he doesn't return before the day after next, the potion will start to falter.
When the group returns, they find that Professors McGonagall and Snape waiting for them. "Apollo and Eros are waiting for you, brats." Snape sneers. Remus starts to growl and move toward the greasy man, "Unless you truly want a genuine relationship with your niece, you stay away from these pups."
"What are you going off about Remus?" McGonagall asks the shaking man.
"Severus , I would like to introduce you to Rebecca and my daughter. Oh yeah, you already know her. You torment her and her friends every day here. Come here Hermione." Severus passes out.
"Minnie, You need to have the Gryffindor married quarters cleaned out. Our son and his wife need to spend as much time together as possible, so their cores can even out." James tells the Head of Gryffindor. "They can use my old chambers." He turns to Harry and Hermione, "My father was killed while we were in our seventh year. He was a good man, I wish you could have met him, Harry. I named you after him." Harry hugs James and takes Hermione's hand.
"Come on love, we need to get this over with so we can move into our chambers. My uncle and cousin are waiting as well as my other parents." Harry hugs his parents, uncle and brother. They grin and walk off to meet with the gods.
"Harry, here drink this. It will flush out and highlight any potions introduced since that horrid dance." Apollo shivered. Harry and Hermione knock the drink back.
"Apollo, forget this! I'm getting Mom." Eros calls over his shoulder as he unfurls his wings and takes off. He returns with a Marilyn Monroe look alike. When she takes a look at the results, Aphrodite becomes enraged. "I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself, I assume you know who I am. My legendary allure doesn't work on you Harry because you have true love. That said, there is no way that I am going to let anything mess it up. The results to the drink, are not pretty."
"What can be done?" Hermione asks.
"Let's just say that I am planning on something for both of the female Weasleys. I am not called vindictive without a reason, you'll see. As for you, Mrs. Potter, young Mr. Weasley will be falling for a Miss Brown's charms in the next couple of weeks. I do have a question for you two. Is this Pansy girl that my step-son is involved with a good girl for him?"
"Thanks, Aphrodite that was very nice of you, and I can answer that, yes she is." Apollo nods to her. She turns and fades away with a smile. "Now Harry, what do you say to removing these blocks?"
"Excuse my language, but Hell ya!" With each one that is removed, Harry feels better, stronger and smarter, while Hermione grows more horrified.
"Harry, you had so many blocks that you should have been a walking vegetable. With your core unlocked, you are as powerful as our dads if not more." Hermione gasps.
