Harry looked at Griphook and inhaled:
"Dear Master Griphook, could you explain to me all of the above?"
"of course." Griphook nodded, " let's start from the beginning. You are an adult. Can you guess why?"
Harry nodded.
"Next. Inheritance. Since you are the firstborn, born in a legal marriage, you are entitled to the title of Lord, both of the Potter and Peverell Families, unlike your father. You see, Carlus Potter, your grandfather, deprived your father of the right of inheritance. James Potter can dispose of the inalienable share of the heir deprived of the right to inherit the title (this is a school safe with part of the inheritance only 25 million), but he will not be able to get the title and everything attached to it while you are alive, as well as his children your brother and sister. However, if you die due to the fault of outsiders (most likely Lord Voldemort is meant), then the right of inheritance will return to the family again."
"Tell me, as an adult, can I try to get the title of Lord?"
"Unfortunately, I must inform you that most likely, you will not pass the Lord's Ring test."
"why?"
"The Ties of Beara. These are limiters that are placed on a child magician to block ancestral gifts and magic. Their peculiarity is that they can be put only by parents and only on their half-blood child-the firstborn, who is the Heir of the Family. It is impossible to remove them, they fly off only at the time of death. This is done when they want the right of inheritance to pass from an unwanted child to another. And more... I didn't want to tell you this, but I have no choice. Bear's bonds lead to death. Most likely, you will not live to be 17 years old."
Harry turned white. Hermione was sitting in a semi-fainting state, grabbing his hand. Griphook looked at them sympathetically. Finally, with an incredible effort, Harry pulled himself together and asked a question:
" why?"
"You see, at the age of 16, the Heirs of the Family, as well as the half-breeds of ancient Families receive Ancestral gifts. The so-called magical coming of age. On the day of his birth, the heir fully accepts ancestral magic. But since you are bound by Bear, your magic is half blocked. The core practically does not develop, generic gifts and abilities do not develop. And when the Ancestral magic pours into you... " The goblin spread his hands sadly.
"I'm just going to burst " Harry continued hoarsely. The goblin nodded. " You said that my mother is a New blood. What does this mean?"
"That means she's pureblood, even though she was born into a Muggle family. Very often such magicians become the founders of their own clans."
"Tell me, what does a magical heir mean?"
"You see, Salazar Slytherin was a Peverell. Just like the Potters are their descendants. The Peverell family is considered extinct, but sometimes it happens that magic gives the successor family the opportunity to revive the founder family, which manifested itself in your case. Apparently, the fact that your mother is a New Blood played a role. Children from the union of pureblood and new blood are usually cleansed of ancestral curses and are very strong. And there is a spell on Slytherin and Peverell an adult Peverell or Slytherin cannot kill a child heir who has not reached adulthood.
"That's why he disembodied..."
The goblin nodded. Harry considered the thought and looked at Griphook:
"And that's why the only unblocked gift is the parseltongue," he looked at the pale Hermione, barely holding back tears. "Master Griphook, I'd like you to do a similar test for Hermione as mine. Withdraw the money from my account."
The goblin nodded and took out a new piece of parchment from the chest. Hermione tried to protest, but Harry just looked at her in silence and she had to offer her hand. After the procedure was finished, the goblin read out the result.
"Hermione Jane Granger, New Blood."
Tossing and turning in bed, Hermione tried to digest the past day. The news of Harry's imminent death made a shocking impression on her. Against this background, the news that she herself is a New blood, that is, pure-blooded, passed unnoticed. Over the years, Harry has become for her what she did not have - an older brother. The thought that she might lose him was unbearable. The only thing that comforted her was the thought of the upcoming Ritual. It was the only chance that Harry would live.
