This is the next chapter. Please read and review, love Moon x
Harry followed Ripclaw down the winding hallway now wearing a transfigured gown which looked like it had come from the time of the Romans or something. It actually looked very funny indeed. When they eventually arrived at the office of Ripclaw it looked like it had been carved inside a cave which it had. They just arrived when a woman entered with a measuring tape which quickly took Harry's measurements as he eyed it in awe. Even now magic never stopped amazing him. His measurements were written down and handed to Harry along with an owl order catalogue from which he was instructed to order some clothing which she would be collecting from Twilfitt and Tatting's for him as he didn't yet have his own owl. Ripclaw sorted out performing the inheritance test while Harry selected his new clothing from the magazine. Soon enough Harry was done and had selected a whole new wardrobe which would be brought to him as soon as it was ready. Given that he had much more to discuss in the bank it was ok if that took a while. He was well covered now and a warming charm ensured he didn't get cold.
As Ripclaw performed the test Harry remembered more of what death said and smiled to himself. "Ripclaw did my mum or dad have a will and if they did may I please read it?" he asked as Ripclaw gasped and then looked up from the page gasping again.
"I apologise Mr Potter it is just your results surprised me and so too did your question. I am most disgusted your magical guardian who I can now see appointed himself to that role without checking did not tell you anything. Yes they had a recorded will and a written will which is obviously just a written version of the recorded one. Would you like to go through the inheritances or the will first?" he asked as Harry thought about it.
"Please let me hear the will first thank you!" he said as a pensive was fetched and the rune to play the will was projected for him to hear.
Is this thing recording? Oh yes very good. I James Charlus Potter do hereby make this my last will and testament. I am of sound mind and do this all of my own free will. Given my age many of you may even be surprised that I have a will now but we are living in a war and I don't wish to leave my new born son without anything. I am bequeathing things to my friends which I will get into now. To my brother in all but blood Sirius Orion Black I leave magical and muggle guardianship of Harry until he may take his lordship at the age of eleven when he comes to the bank to withdraw money for his Hogwarts School education. Sirius I leave you Apartment number 55 in Penzance Lane may you always have somewhere to call home. Know I will always love you and trust you with my life. I am so proud you took the godfather oath when we asked you to be Harry's godfather. That you knew it would kill you if you ever did him wrong and still proceeded shows what a great man you are.
To Peter Andrew Pettigrew you are a filthy rat in reality not just an animagus. We trusted you to be our secret keeper and you let us down. Did you really think we wouldn't prepare for this huh? Did you truly think we would not have supplied memories of you agreeing to be our secret keeper in secret yet say it was really Sirius Black to everyone as a cover with this will? Say your prayers now scumbag you are finished! What you don't know Peter is that I forced Sirius to come with me when I was registering my animagus form at the ministry which he did. You are an illegal animagus and should anyone ever wrongly imprison Sirius for your actions they will likely get the dementors kiss and I would strongly agree with that course of action.
Remus John Lupin you are a disgrace of a man and I can say it no other way. You have allowed something which affects you two nights per month to dominate your life like a true coward and I am ashamed of you. You have not lived life as I wanted you to do. You are a very clever man and you have not found love like I always wanted you to do. I leave to you a special potion designed by the goblins themselves. It doesn't cure lycanthropy as nothing can ever truly cure that but it can limit your transformations to any one part of your body you choose yourself. Stop always dressing like a vagabond and find some love. I leave Remus John Lupin vault 22 and its contents. Make me proud Remus.
To Professor Filius Flitwick I leave you my trunk of familial charms notes and books. You were always a favourite teacher of mine and I thank you so very much for always imparting your knowledge onto us so well. Now that I am no longer your student I can tell you to please get yourself a full length platform so you can easily walk from one end of your classroom to the other. It's not your fault your height is a bit short and I do feel this way would be safer too. Sir you're an inspiration to me and I hope Harry enjoys charms as much as I did. Please look out for him as I know Albus has hired Severus Snape and given that I hate him with every fibre of my being it is highly likely he might mistreat Harry. Obviously if I'm alive he wouldn't dare but I do know I may not make it so please watch over him if you can even if you must do so from a distance. I don't care what house Harry gets into so long as he remains light which I am sure he will. Please tell Minerva he may not be a Gryffindor and that this is ok with us. She may not understand otherwise.
Professor Minerva McGonagall you have in truth always been an excellent teacher and a rubbish head of house. You are as useful at being a head of house as someone trying to light a wet cigarette in the rain. Even I could do a better job than you and I'm nothing exceptionally special. Please stop overly idolising Albus Dumbledore so much that you blindly do everything he asks of you without actually thinking for yourself. Believe it or not no one is right all the time even him. Yes it's true. I warn you now Harry may not be a Gryffindor and I am fine with that. Do not make his life at school difficult even if Albus Dumbledore should try to influence to do so. Stop always telling everyone to keep their heads down instead of dealing with the issues at hand. You were our head of house and the only time we ever saw you in our house was in relation to an emergency. What use are you if we don't see you. I learned the location of your office in forth year and not from you either. Do better please. I realise I didn't make things any easier on you and for that I am sorry but you're such an excellent teacher that you being so awful as a head of house is baffling. Maybe you consider lessening the work load you take.
Pomona my dear friend congratulations on your new job. I know you will make a fine head of Hufflepuff house and new Herbology teacher at Hogwarts. I may have already congratulated you in person but I am putting this in here in case I didn't get to do so over this whole Voldemort prophecy nonsense. Either way I am so very proud of you. When Harry goes to school if he is a Hufflepuff please tell him all about me and indeed the good things I did. I know I hated Severus Snape but that bastard was a death eater and so I had good reason to. He must know I was good with everyone who actually deserved good things in their life. I hope you meet and marry that man we both know in our hearts you love. I leave to Pomona Sprout my collection of herbology books and plant sample library may she use them to good effect in her new job. I love you dear friend.
Albus listen if you don't start sharing your knowledge and thoughts with people no matter what you think countless people will die and their blood will be on your hands because you elected to keep silent about what you knew. How many more Fabian and Gideon Prewett's are we going to need to lose before you actually see that? Please insure you do not keep my cloak any longer then you actually need to have it. As soon as you are done give it back to Harry who will be staying either with Sirius his godfather or Amelia his godmother. If Peter betrays us as I fear do not allow Sirius to rot in jail. Get him out of there and help him with Harry in any way he asks you to. Do not interfere in any way with Harry or Harry's life unless Sirius or Amelia asks you for help and I better have made myself clear here. You can't have your hands in every pie.
Amelia dear friend when we chose you to be the sworn godmother of Harry we knew we were choosing the right person. He already loves you so much which only proves we were right to do this. As you know Lily has what we can only describe right now as episodes so I am leaving you vault three hundred and fifty three for Susan. Take good care of her.
Harry my darling boy everything else I have not given away I leave to you. I love you more than life itself. Listen to Sirius and Amelia and when you are eleven become Lord Potter. People cannot touch you that way and it really would be safer. I died to protect you so you could live a better life and I really hope you are doing so. Love always your dad, James.
It ended as Harry watched. That had been most interesting. Next he would hear his mothers' will and wondered what it would say.
