"Like Frankie said
I did it my way"

Bon Jovi- 'It's my life'

(Ebony P.O.V)

Snorack had left us several minutes ago, to go and contact Sirius Black, Harry's magical guardian. They had to come here immediately. Ever since we had found out what the block on the bond would do, dad had pulled me onto his lap, and hadn't let me go. He was shaking. So was I. Every so often, a growl would build up in his chest, and force its way out, showing his displeasure at the situation I was in.

"What will happen?" I asked Scrimigor. "If the block doesn't get removed?"

"You will both get sick, and then eventually slip into a coma. Then, eventually, you'll both die, around the same time."

Dads arms tightened around me. "That's not going to happen, cub. We're going to get all the blocks removed. You're going to be fine."

I nodded. "I'm glad it's Harry." I said.

"Why's that then cub?" Dad asked.

"He and Hermione were my first friends. And he's a feral with a healing factor. I couldn't stand it if it was someone like Malfoy." I sneered the name. "He'd drive me round the bend."

Dad was silent for a moment, thinking over what I'd said. "Well, I'm glad you're comfortable with him, Cub. But if he ever hurts you…" He left the threat hanging clear in the air.

"You wouldn't get a look in." I said.

"Oh yes I would. I'd get to him before you did."

"You wouldn't need to." Scrimigor said. "And you wouldn't dare."

"What do you mean?" dad asked.

"To hurt one, is to hurt the other. No one would harm their soul mate in anyway. It would hurt them too much to do so."

"That's good, but I'm not taking back my threat. I'll protect Ebony from every threat I find out, in anyway I can."

"Then after all this is over, I would like to give Ebony private tutoring, during the holidays. I myself do not believe that he who must not be named has gone for good. Ebony will be in great danger from him when he returns, as to harm her would be to harm Harry Potter. And he will be his main target when he returns."

Dad nodded. "Of course."

"What about the use of underage magic?" I asked.

"A soul bond lifts the trace automatically. No one knows how, but it gives soul bonded couples the right to use magic out of school, just as any witch or wizard who are seventeen or over."

The door opened, and Snorack entered, followed by Harry and Sirius Black. "Harry!" I said. I pulled myself out of dads lap, and launched myself at him. I hugged him tightly, and felt him hug me back.

"Hey Eb." He said. I could hear the smile in his voice.

I pulled away, and could see curiosity in his eyes. "Ebony, what's going on?"

"You may want to sit down." Snorack suggested, and two more chairs appeared, to Scrimigor's left. Both Sirius and Harry sat down. "Mr Potter, we have become aware of several crimes that have been committed against the Creed's, and one of the exact same nature may have been committed against you as well. Well, it may as well have been created against you. Actually, there are two. One is definite. We at first need to determine your inheritance."

"Harry hasn't gone through his inheritance test?" Sirius asked. "But what about the reading of James and Lily's wills? Are you telling me that they haven't been read?"

"That is exactly what I'm saying." Snorack.

Very soon, Harry was going through the same inheritance test that I had taken. It turned out that Harry was descended from Gryffindor on his father's side and Hufflepuff on his mothers.

Then came the test for any blocks. Harry had more than me. First was a block on fifty percent of his magic, then his animagus abilities, then metamorphmagus abilities, photographic memory and finally, the Soul bond. In brackets, below the list, it was stated that Dumbledore had placed the blocks on Harry.

Sirius skyrocketed to his feet. "That's murder!" He yelled.

"We have already established that earlier, Sirius." Snorack explained, "But perhaps you would explain what is happening to your Godson? He seems confused."

Sirius quickly explained to Harry what blocking soul mates from bonding eventually did.

"But- Ebony…" He seemed lost.

"Harry, I wouldn't be here, if I wasn't linked in to this situation." I said.

"You mean that you're my…?"

"Yes Harry. I found out not too long ago that I'd been kept in the dark on magical guardians, and I contacted Gringotts. We found everything out today."

"Is there a way to remove these blocks?" Harry asks.

"Fortunately, yes. But the backlash of the last one, may kill you both. But if you don't remove them, you will most certainly die."

"When can we get them removed?" Sirius asked/ He'd sat down again, he looked grey.

"I'll have our best warders and spell casters start preparing for it." Snorack said. He once again called out in his own language. "Now, we have some time. There are several matters of importance that need to be sorted out. Assets for both families."

Two goblins entered, both holding large books. One was given to dad, the other, which also had a letter attached to it, was given to Snorack.

Dad opened the book, and I saw a list of liquid assets, estates, and property such as books, jewels, weapons and even battle robes. I then realised that we were rich.

Snorack opened the letter that came with the book.

"This is the last will and testament of Lord James Charlus Potter, and Lady Lilly Potter nee Evans. We, being of sound mind and body declare this our final will, and all others void. Firstly, we leave the charge of our son, Harry, to firstly, his God father Sirius Black. If he is unable, then Remus Lupin and we don't care whether or not he's a were-wolf. Live with it! If Remus is also unable, then Harry's care is to go to Frank and Alice Longbottom. Under no circumstances is Harry to go to Lilly's sister Petunia Dursley and her husband Vernon. Neither is Albus Dumbledore to have any custody of our son, beyond being his headmaster later on.

"To Sirius, we leave one million Galleons, for being the best friend and brother a man could ever ask for. Have a fun life Padfoot. And don't trust Dumbledore!

"To Remus Lupin, we leave another million, and our villa in Greece. Don't let being a wolf get you down Moony! And have a fun life. Get a girl, settle down and have a cub or two. Maybe Hagrid will help you raise them under his bed…

"To the girl our son is soul bonded to. We leave another million Galleons. We know you must be a lovely girl, and we hope we live long enough to meet you. If not, well show our son how to be free. One of Lilly's feelings (which are never wrong) tells us you'll be a free spirit.

"We leave nothing to Peter Pettigrew, as if we are dead, then it means that he betrayed us to Voldemort.

"Finally, to our dear son, Harry. We leave you everything else, which is a considerable amount. Treat your soul mate right, and know that we love you more than anything else in the world. Also, do not trust Albus Dumbledore as far as you can throw him."

Snorack pushed the book towards Harry, and he opened it, and looked through it, with wide eyes.

There was a knock on the door, and a goblin entered. He and Snorack conversed for a moment. The goblin bowed out.

"They are ready for you now." Snorack said to me and Harry.

I felt nervousness start to plague me, but I kept my face neutral, not letting it show, as all of us followed Snorack out of the office, and down below ground level.
