Last time

Harry stepped into the circle holding Sgàil's feather in his right hand and the unicorn hair in the left hand. Right as the moon peaked in the night sky Sgàil started chanting as the willingly given ground unicorn horn that made up the ritual circle started to float and move slowly around Harry as both him and Sgàil fell into a trance. About 3 minutes in Harry still in the trance dropped the feather and the ground unicorn horn started to go faster another 3 minutes later as He dropped the unicorn hair the ground unicorn hair started going even faster taking the feather and hair and spinning faster and faster and gating closer and closer to Harry, until it all merged with him causing him and Sgàil to fall unconscious. If anybody had looked at that part of the forrest they would have seen 2 dark gryphons laying unconscious on the ground, but fortunately no one did.

12:07 headmasters office, Hogwarts

If anyone had been in the room they would have noticed many objects explode at once, but unfortunately for the one who was normally in this room he wasn't. Dumbledore was at the ICW meeting in Bulgaria, and by the time he could get back it would be far too long for him to do anything.

Now

July 31st 1988

In the past month and a half since the ritual Harry and Sgàil had been training to get harry used to his new body and so that he could disguise himself as a human, but now it was time. Time to go to Diagon alley to see any vaults, and abilities that harry might have inherited, then get some information and leave.

-Harry, you there?- Sgàil asked walking into the part of the cave where Harry slept.

-I'm coming don't worry.- Harry replied knowing why she wanted him awake so early. How could he possibly forget? It was the day they where supposed to go to the wizard bank so that they could learn more about him other than his name. When Harry walked out of the cave he could see Sgàil waiting on him so that the could fly to Diagon alley as neither of them had been there before. -Ok I'm ready to fly to Diagon alley Sgàil.- he said -are we going now?-

-yes we're going right now Harry- Sgàil replied as she bunched her rear muscles and leapt into the air slowly hovering in place to wait for harry to jump. -we should be there by the time the sun rises so that no one will notice me.-

-ok let's go then Sgàil.- harry said jumping into the air right behind her as they started to fly towards London since that is where Diagon alley is. It took about an hour and a half to fly to London and another half hour to find where Diagon alley was. Once Harry and Sgàil found Diagon alley they landed in a small alley off to the side of the main alley where Harry disguised himself as a human and Sgàil shrunk down(1) so that she could fit on his shoulder. Harry walked out of the side alley and into the main alley and started walking towards gringots, when they reached the door he looked up to read the sign overhead then continued walking into the bank.

"I would like an inheritance test if that is possible." Harry said looking at the goblin teller. The goblin looked up at harry and told him to come along, so Harry followed him further into the bank.

"The test will cost 25 gallons and will come out of any vaults discovered, if you don't have any then it will come from wherever you bring it from we don't care money is money." The goblin said bringing out a bowl with runes on it full of some kind of potion and a silver knife "just cut your hand with this knife and after 3 drops of blood your hand will automatically heal." The goblin said handing Harry the knife. Harry then cut his hand and after 3 drops his hand instantly healed. After a couple of seconds one of the runes glowed and spat out a piece of paper. On the paper was a list.

Harry James Potter

Father: James Charlus Potter

Mother: Lily Potter nee Evans

Magical Guardian: Albus Percival Wolfric Brian Dumbledore

Magical contracts: Marriage contract with Ginny Weasley (pending approval by head of house), house alliance with house longbottom

Species: Shadow Gryphon

Heirs to: the most ancient and noble house of potter(blood, dad), the most ancient and noble house Black(declared heir by head of house S.B), the most ancient and noble house of Peverell(blood, dad), the most ancient and noble house of Gryffindor(blood, dad),and the most ancient and noble house of Slytherin(blood, mom)

Abilities: matamorphmagus(dad), Parselmouth(mom)

Vaults: potter trust, Potter main, Black main, peverell main, Gryffindor main, Slytherin main

The goblin looked shocked at the paper showed then Handed the paper to Harry as he called for the potter account manager. When Harry and Sgàil who was still sitting on Harry's shoulder saw the paper they where shocked at all his vaults, then Harry did a double take and looked back at the marriage contract just then is when the the potter account manager Ripclaw came in. "Hello heir Potter." Ripclaw said as the goblin teller left "How come you did not come in last year on you 7th birthday?"

"What do you mean? I was never told to go to any bank, I was still living with the Dursley's who would have never believed I had any kind of money." Harry said confused as to who would have told him to go to a bank yet alone a wizarding bank on his 7th birthday.

"WHAT!" Ripclaw yelled in shock as his eyes widened, then he realized that meant that Dumbledore broke the rules layed out for him and did not tell harry about anything not even the wizarding world that he always should have known about. "Did Dumbledore not tell you about you being heir Potter?"

"No sir, I've never even heard of him before today." Harry said confused as to why someone named Dumbledore would have told him about him having vaults at a wizarding bank. "Why would someone called Dumbledore tell me about anything yet alone having a vault?"

It was that moment that ripclaw realized just how much Dumbledore broke the contract. He had not even told Harry that he was a wizard! That was one of the first rules, to make sure by the minors 5th birthday and no later that he knew he was a wizard. "Mr. Potter please follow me."

Meanwhile in a certain headmasters office

Dumbledore was freaking out. It was that simple. He had never expected something like this. All his blood trackers he had placed on Harry had blown up. How?! How could this happen! The only thing that could cause that waist his blood changed, but the only thing that could cause that was a werewolf. He had to go check the house if Harry wasn't there all his carefully laid plans would fall apart.

Number 4 private drive

When Dumbledore arrived he was confused there was no blood ward, actually there where no wards as if there never was a wizard living here. But everything was still standing so there hadn't been a death eater attack, if there had been nothing would be standing. Dumbledore decided to knock and ask for Harry. "Hello, I was wondering if your nephew Harry Potter was here?" Dumbledore asked when Vernon opened the door. When Vernon heard this he started going purple in the face.

"Listen here FREAK, that FREAK of a boy is no longer hear! He ran off after meeting some freakish BEAST, and if he did come back I'd chase him back out anyways!" Vernon yelled getting more and more purple the whole time eventually going a shade of purple not even Dumbledore in his 150 year long life had seen before. Vernon then slammed the door in Dumbledore's face and locked it. Dumbledore walked away thinking about what kind of a beast Harry could have seen.

Back at Gringots

Harry and Sgàil walked out of Gringots, they now new that Harry was the boy-who-lived and generally what has happened. They had decided that for the next 3 years they would train including wizard magic and even politics. when Dumbledore saw them he would be surprised.

Authors note: I'm back! As I said before I got caught up I life but I'm finally able to write this. I'll start working on chapter 4 sometime within the next week though, but it will probably be awhile.
