"Huh! James never told me that he was the heir of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw! Why does Harry have a block on his magical core, and a marriage contract with Ginerva Weasley?!"

"I'm a pureblood? My mother was a halfblood? But people always said that she was muggleborn and I was a halfblood? My name is Harrison?"

Sirius and Harry remarked simultaneously, shocked at what the parchment was showing.

After getting over his shock, Sirius asked Master Ironfist, "Is it possible for the marriage contract with Ginerva Weasley to be cancelled? Who was the one who signed the marriage contract? I do not think that the late Lord and Lady Potter would have signed a marriage contract for Harry."

"You will be able to cancel the marriage contract since it was Dumbledore who signed the marriage contract, and he was not Harry's true magical guardian but simply the guardian appointed by the ministry. As such, it is not magically binding unless you were to sign it as well. However, you do have to formally accept the role of Mr Potter's magical guardian first which requires him to accept his role as Heir Potter, which, following tradition, he should have done when he was seven, allowing him to unseal the Potter will."

"Dumbledore! That old meddling guy! Why did he do that? Ah, well, Master Ironfist, give me a while to think this through first."

Considering what to do, Sirius recalled Harry's shock at being called Harrison and the fact that he was not a half-blood but a pureblood.

"Harry, Harry are you still here?" Sirius asked, tapping Harry on his shoulder.

"Huh? Yes, Sirius?"

"Harry, did you not know your name was Harrison and not Harry?"

"Yes."

"Oh, well, your full name is actually Harrison James Potter, but your parents used to always call you Harry since it was less of a mouthful."

"Oh."

"I think it was Dumbledore that registered your name as Harry instead of Harrison as your parents had not registered your name with the ministry but had only registered the birth of the "Potter Heir". Only a few of us that were at your magical christening knew your full name."

"What's a magical christening?"

"Oh, it's a ceremony that magical children go through when they are a week old, where their magical godparents are named and there's a ritual where one is magically named, and confirmed to be the child of a family. The magical name is not registered at the ministry but if you do blood related tests, such as the one you just did, your magical names, and magical godparents will show up as it is something that is bound by blood. However, not many families do it anymore these days. Typically only pureblood families, especially the older ones, still follow this tradition."

"So my name was not registered at the ministry?"

"Yes, when your name gets registered at the ministry, it essentially becomes a public record. In fact, for the sake of privacy, many old pureblood families only register their children's names with the ministry when they are older and when they are just born, only register with the ministry that a child belonging to their family is born. According to what your father told me, the Potter family typically registered their children's names just before they turn five, so that the Heir could officially accept the role of Heir Potter and be recognised by the ministry. My name was registered at about the same time as well, for the same reasons. Your name should have been registered by your father at about that time too, but Dumbledore most likely registered it right after you were put with your Aunt and Uncle."

I'm not sure why he did that so early instead of just waiting until he was five, if that would just allow the public to know Harry's name and be able to hound him and make up those false stories of him. If he really wanted Harry to have privacy and a more normal childhood like what he said, then he would have waited until Harry was older, until he had to accept his Heir ring, or since Dumbledore didn't want to let Harry know about his family, until he had to attend Hogwarts. Oh well, that's just another thing I will have to bring up with Dumbledore. Oh, and the matter of the marriage contract with Ginerva Weasley. I wonder what he's trying to do by doing all that?

"Oh. So Hogwarts follows the record at the ministry? And my muggle primary school as well?"

"Yes, precisely, the record of your name automatically gets added to the list of citizens in muggle Britain once it is registered with the ministry, it allows magicals to be legal citizens in muggle Britain as well, since wizarding families often have business in the muggle world, including quite a large number of the old pureblood families."

"So the mistake in my name was never corrected by anyone? Can the name that is registered with the ministry be changed?"

"Since the only ones who knew your true name were Alice, Frank, Remus, and I, thankfully Pettigrew doesn't know as he was not free that day, and Alice and Frank are in St. Mungos, Remus was unable to have contact with you, and I was trapped in Azkaban, you had no way of knowing your true name. Don't worry, I'll be able to go to the ministry and register your actual name easily once I'm officially your magical guardian, it's just a matter of filling in a few forms. By the way, Alice and Frank are Neville Longbottom's parents, he's in your year right?"

"Yes, he's in Gryffindor. He is quite nice to me whenever we talk, though I haven't really talked to him very much."

"Why not? Do you know that he's your magical godbrother? You should've grown up with him as a close playmate."

"Really? I never really noticed him, I'm not sure why."

"You can talk to him when you get back to school later, and ask him about being your magical godbrother, he'll probably be able to tell you more about your heritage as well. He's the Longbottom Heir so he's in a similar position as you. If you would like, I might be able to arrange for you to have some lessons about wizarding culture and manners with him so that you won't get too lonely, he probably has to go through them as well."

"Okay, I will, I guess it'll be good to have more friends than just Hermione and Ron although they're very good friends. It would be fun to have someone attend those lessons with me as well, instead of having those lessons alone."

"Good, I will ask Dowager Lady Longbottom, Neville's grandmother, about it then."

Sirius turned to Master Ironfist, asking him "May we claim our rings now? I will start first."

"Yes," Master Ironfist replied, while beckoning Master Ripluk towards him.

Master Ripluk placed the chest he was holding on Master Ironfist's table, who opened it up, revealing 2 large rings on the top, one slightly larger, with a thick gold band, and the Black family crest, a raven sitting on a nest with a gold crown with tiny sapphires on it on its head, which was surrounded by tiny deep blue sapphires, sat on top of the ring. The other had a thinner gold band, with a smaller Black family crest on it as well, surrounded with tinier sapphires.

Sirius picked up the larger ring, saying "I, Sirius Orion Black, accept the title of the Lord of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black, and all duties that may come with it."

A bright white light flashed, signalling the acceptance of Sirius being the Lord Black, and the ring resized to fit Sirius' fingers perfectly. Harry watched what happened with awe and excitement in his eyes.

"Harry, you have to do this too, just say 'I, Harrison James Potter, accept the title of the Heir of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Potter, and all duties that may come with it.' Okay?"

"Yes."

Master Ironfist motioned Master Naglock over, and he set the chest he was holding on the table, before speaking in gobbledygook with Master Ironfist and leaving with Master Ripluk.

Master Ironfist opened the chest, revealing 2 large rings on the top, one slightly larger, with a thick gold band, and the Potter family crest, a majestic looking stag surrounded by trees, with a gold crown with tiny rubies on it on its head, which was surrounded by tiny brilliant red rubies, sat on top of the ring. The other had a thinner gold band, with a smaller Potter family crest on it as well, surrounded with tinier rubies.

Seeing the stag on the crest and the crown that was on its head, similar to the one on the Raven, Harry asked, "Why do both animals have gold crowns on their heads and what do those animals represent?"

"The animals are the animals that represent the qualities of the house. The crests of all Most Ancient and Noble families have gold crowns on the heads of the animals, which have tiny gems on them, to show that the family is a Most Ancient and Noble family. The gems represent the traditional family colour, which only Most Ancient and Noble families have, and the formal robes are lined with that colour to easily show which family they belong to, although all families with seats on the Wizengamot have animals representing their family."

"Oh."

"You can claim your ring now. Do you remember what you have to do?"

"Yes."

Harry picked up the ring, and said, "I, Harrison James Potter, accept the title of the Heir of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Potter, and all duties that may come with it."

Just like what happened when Sirius claimed his ring, a bright white light flashed, signalling the acceptance of Harry being Heir Potter, and the ring resized to fit Harry's fingers perfectly.

After that, Master Ironfist asked "Lord Black, would you like to claim the guardianship of Heir Potter now?"

"Yes."

With this, Master Ironfist took out a few pieces of parchment from the drawers nearby and set them on the table, telling Sirius what to sign and what they were for. Finally, after Sirius had read through all the forms and signed them at the right places, he raised his wand and said, "I, Lord Sirius Orion Black, magical godfather of Heir Harrison James Potter accept my role as his magical guardian in the absence of his parents."

A thin golden light left the tip of Sirius' wand, slowly extending towards Harry's chest. Once it reached his chest, it flashed before disappearing.

"What was that?"

"That was magic accepting that I'm now your magical guardian. Master Ironfist will have to send the forms to the ministry for it to be accepted by them."

"Oh okay. Do I have to do anything?"

"No, it's done."

"Lord Black, Heir Potter, does Heir Potter want to claim the heir rings of the other houses?" Master Ironfist interrupted.

Sirius looked at Harry, as if asking him whether he wanted to claim them while Harry looked at Sirius, as if asking him whether he thought it would be a good idea to do so.

Sirius said, "There will be more responsibility if you accept those heir rings now, however, it will give you more votes, and hence power, on the Wizengamot."

"Forty more votes right? Eight for each of the five houses, Peverell, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin?"

"Right. That reminds me, Master Ironfist, the houses Peverell, Gryffindor, and Hufflepuff were inherited by Heir Potter from his father and the houses Ravenclaw and Slytherin were inherited from his mother. But, how did House Potter come to inherit those houses and why didn't the late Lady Potter know about those houses herself?"

"Those three houses had always been in the Potter family since my father was in charge of it, at least two hundred years. However, I'm not exactly sure when or how they came to be part of House Potter, you will have to read the families grimoire or history books to find that out. However, I do know that they had always accepted the role of Lord or Heir of those houses, whichever it may be, although they did not sit on the seats of those houses in the Wizengamot as they did not want others to know about that part of their heritage. As for why the late Lady Potter had not known about those houses, she did not take an inheritance test as she did not think there was any need to. When she married the late Lord Potter, she was able to accept the role of Lady Potter without having to take the inheritance test as they simply had to prove that they were married, which was simply done by showing the marriage certificate provided to them by the ministry of magic, and the fact that the Lady Potter ring accepted her."

"I see. That makes more sense now."

Master Naglock walked in again, this time carrying five boxes instead of one, and placed the boxes on the table. Master Ironfist opened the boxes, revealing two rings in each box, similar to the Potter rings and the Black rings, with the exception of the crest. The Peverell rings had the Peverell crest, a thestral surrounded by dark, shady trees, with a crown with tiny clear diamonds on it on its head, which was surrounded by tiny clear diamonds. The Gryffindor rings had the Gryffindor crest, a lion surrounded by bushes, with a crown with tiny light red garnets on it on its head, which was surrounded by tiny light red garnets. The Hufflepuff rings had the Hufflepuff crest, a badger with logs around it, with a crown with tiny yellow citrines on it on its head, which was surrounded by tiny bright yellow citrines. The Ravenclaw rings had the Ravenclaw crest, an eagle with its wings spread wide, with clouds behind it, with a crown with tiny blue aquamarines on it on its head, surrounded by tiny light blue aquamarines, the colour of the sky on a good day. The Slytherin rings had the Slytherin crest, a serpent on a blanket of grass, with its head pointing upwards, with a crown with tiny green emeralds on it on its hand, surrounded by tiny deep green emeralds.

Harry then claimed the rings one by one, saying the same thing as he had said when he claimed the Potter Heir rings, but replacing Potter with Peverell, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin instead. Each time, a bright white light flashed before the ring resized, showing that it accepted Harry as that house's heir. They merged with the previous rings each time they resized, and by the time Harry had accepted all five rings, the six rings on his finger had merged, and although the Potter crest was the only one that was visible on the top, the gems that lined the crest was interchangeably the ones of six houses.

Once he finished claiming the rings, Master Ironfist asked, "Would you like the Potter will to be read? You can unseal them since you are Heir Potter."

"My parent's will? I want to read it!"
