Chapter 11

With a blink Harry found himself facing a tapestry.

"Where am I?" As soon as Harry had said that memories of the present suddenly intermingled with the memories of being in Merlin's time. "I'm back."

As he gazed up at the tapestry that had lead to the entire time traveling experience he realized he would never see Shawnie again. He would never see their child.

Harry shook his head to remove the thoughts. "I promised Shawnie that I would not let my past overrule my present and future."

His eyes fell back on the tapestry. He studied it closer and ran his fingers over the woven thread. It was a record of what he had done.

"Wow. Shawnie had twins. A girl and a boy," Harry said, smiling at the design of Shawnie holding babies in pink and blue blankets at the bottom of the tapestry. Harry turned around to look around the rest of the room.

Shock overtook him. He was standing in the room he had lived in during Merlin's time. "How did Merlin manage to put my room in Hogwarts?" Harry thought. According to 'Hogwarts, A History,' (as Hermione could tell you) Hogwarts was not created until fifty years after the fall of Camelot. The thought slipped from his mind like a grain of sand as he moved to go through his old belongings. Everything was just how he had left it.

While digging through his things he found his new armor, Merlin's wand and his sword. He looked up from the trunks he had been going through and noticed a door he had never seen before. Curiosity pulled at him until he walked over to the golden door. It had a wand and sword crossed over each other. Harry smiled a the symbol and pulled the door open.

The largest library he had ever seen greeted his widening eyes. A smiled crept over his face again. Hermione would claw past him to get into this room. A note was sitting on one of the many tables, addressed to him.

Harry,

Congratulations on making it back to your time. This is one of several gifts to you. The library is self-updating and is filled with wizarding books. Another gift to you are the contents in the six chests. Three are filled with shrunken gold coins. Each holds ten times as much gold as it would if the gold were not shrunken. The other three chests contains jewels of various types. Many of the jewels are very rare. You may do what ever you wish with them. These gifts are from all those who you helped save.

Shawnie has told me that you knew of her pregnancy. She had two beautiful children. Shawnee Evans and Harry Jr. Evans. We are all sorry that you had to leave us and we have faith that you will defeat the Dark Lord of your time as you did in ours. So long Harry Potter. I know you will live a long, happy life.

Good luck,

Merlin

Harry folded the note and placed it in his pocket. "Don't worry Merlin. I will defeat Voldemort. And I will do as I promised Shawnee, I will find someone to love, as I did you, and I will never forget you," Harry said with determination. His eyes fell on the six chests. Each of the chests were three feet by two feet.

With a snap the first of the chests opened. Light rolled over the old English coins. His mind could barely process thoughts at the sight of so much money. He snapped open another chest. The contents sparkled every color of the rainbow back at Harry.

After figuring he would exchange only some of the coins and a few of the more common jewels at Gringotts he checked the time. "It's almost time for breakfast, I'd better get there before anyone misses me," Harry said, smiling. He missed his friends, luckily it was Saturday, so he could spend time with them and go to Diagon Alley.

No one noticed a change in Harry during breakfast. As usual he talked with Ron about Quidditch and Hermione chimed in about homework. Once he had finished eating he faked a yawn and told his friends he needed to catch some more sleep.

"Are you all right Harry?" Hermione asked.

"Yes, I just had the usual nightmares last night. Ron, can you wake me before lunch?" Harry asked.

"Yea, Sure mate. No problem," Ron said as Harry left the room, heading towards his secret room.

In his new library Harry shrunk the chests and then changed his appearance. He changed his short, unruly black hair into longer gray hair, with intermingling streaks of white. His skin became more wrinkled and he morphed his school robe into a midnight blue velvet robe. Satisfied with his new appearance he apparated to Diagon Alley. Hermione would have a cow if she knew there was actually someone who could bypass the incredibly complex wards placed around Hogwarts.

Once he walked through the majestic doors of Gringotts he went up to a goblin. "Excuse me. I have a large amount of old gold coins and jewels. I would like to exchange them for wizarding money. Could we please do this in a private room? I would not like to have this large of a transaction seen by the public."

"Of course sir. Please follow me," the goblin told him, using one long grayed finger to lead him forward. The goblin instructed him to set out the items he wished to trade on the table.

Less than five minutes later another goblin appeared. "You have old coins and jewels you need to exchange, correct?" the goblin asked.

"Yes, they are in those chests, but the coins were shrunken before they were placed in the chests."

The goblin nodded as he looked into the chest filled with coins. He tapped his long, spindly finger on two coins, unshrinking them. Bringing the coins close to his face he spoke, "These coins were made around 900. Each are worth about twenty galleons. It appears that you have well over 100 coins in this chest. The fee for exchange is three percent."

The goblin stopped talking and moved his attention to the chest of jewels. "These jewels range from common to very rare."

He spun the gem between two of his fingers. Light that bounced off the small blue crystal sparkled off the walls. "This one is worth two million galleons. Several others here are worth that much also."

It took over an hour to go over the values of each crystal. When they were finished they had several pieces of parchment filled with the list of amounts.

"Well Sir, You have almost one and a half billion galleons. If you would like I know a number of potential buyers who would be thrilled to purchase some of these gems."

Harry nodded. "Please sell the jewels to them. I would like to keep a few of the rarest though."

When the goblin had finished with the paperwork system he had used to sell the gems and exchange he asked what Harry would like to do with the money.

"I was wondering if Hermione Granger and Remus Lupin had vaults here."

The goblin checked his records. "We have no record of either person having an account here."

"Then I would like to open four accounts. I would like them to be in the names of Ronald Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger and Remus Lupin," Harry said.

"How would you like to divide up the money?" the goblin asked.

"Split the galleons five equal ways. The fifth share will go into Harry Potter's vault."

The goblin looked stunned. "You are giving each over two hundred million galleons. Are you sure you want to do that sir?"

"Yes. As for the remaining gems please place them in Harry Potter's vault please. Could you owl each vault owner about the change or creation of their accounts. Tell them they were Heirs to Harry Evan's fortune."

"Of course sir. First I will need you to sign some papers for the transfers."

Harry nodded and signed the papers Harry Evans. The goblin nodded him goodbye and Harry walked out of the bank and apparated back to Hogwarts. He had just made it into the common room when Hermione and Ron appeared.

"Harry! You're awake," Hermione said. Ron looked glad to have found Harry and insisted they go eat. If there was one thing Harry could always rely on, it was Ron's hungry stomach.

The day went quickly and by dinner Harry was wondering how his friends would react to the news of being millionaires. He looked up at the head table, where his DADA teacher, Remus Lupin, was sitting. Two owls appeared. One landed by Ron and the other flew to Lupin.

Ron pulled the letters off the owl's leg. It hooted in reply, dipped its beak into Ron's pumpkin juice, and flew off. "We each got a letter from Gringotts, I wonder what it's about?"

"Maybe if we open them Ron," Hermione said, raising an eyebrow at Ron.

Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Harry each reached for their letters and opened them. Harry looked up just before he was about to read his letter to see that Ginny had dropped her letter and was staring straight ahead. A thump drew his attention to Ron. Ron had fainted face down in his mashed potatoes. Hermione's eyes were huge as she read, and reread the letter. Harry looked up at the head table. Lupin had fainted right off his chair.

Harry gave a small smile but tried to look shocked, then placed a wandless spell on himself to make it seem that he had fainted. They had taken the news quite well.

Harry woke up, looking straight into the blue sparkling eyes of Dumbledore. "It appears that you received a letter from Gringotts."

"Yes."

"Then you will need to come with us," Dumbledore said, allowing Harry to notice Hermione, Ron, Ginny, and Lupin standing behind him along with several other professors.

Once in Dumbledore's office the Headmaster spoke. "Does anyone know who Harry Evans is?"

"Is he a relative of Harry's?" Hermione asked.

"My only living relative is my aunt, she has never mentioned anything about that," Harry said, neglecting to mention that Aunt Pentunia never spoke about anyone on her side of the family.

"What should we do about this?" Lupin asked.

"The seal on the letters was confirmed to be from Gringotts, the money is real. It looks as though each of you five have just inherited over two hundred million galleons. Tomorrow I think the five of you and I should go to Gringotts to settle this affair," Dumbledore said.

When the four were back in the common room no one spoke for a while. Finally Ron broke the silence. "I think I'll go write to mom. She should know about this."

"So any ideas for spending the money?" Harry asked.

"I'm not sure. I might split it between my parents if I change some into muggle money," Hermione said.

"I guess I can finally get new things, instead of hand-me-downs. Maybe a new broom," Ginny said.

"Well I better get to bed, it's been a long day," Harry said.

The next day Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Lupin, Dumbledore and Molly Weasley found their large vaults. All jaws dropped at the sight of the mountains of gold. They gathered hand fulls of galleons from their vaults and placed them into magical bags.

The four teens went shopping after getting permission from Dumbledore. Ron and Ginny each bought top of the line brooms. Hermione had a huge stack of books and Harry got himself new Quidditch gear. When all their shopping needs had been met they went back to Hogwarts.
