Chapter 2

Sirius' Will

Harry found it hard to sleep Thursday night because he knew that when he woke up than it would be time to go listen to Sirius' Will. He wanted to go for a walk and talk to somebody again but it was too late and he didn't want to bother Ginny although he didn't think that Ginny would be sleeping yet. He decided to let it go and just lie in his bed.

Harry woke at seven in the morning and decided to get ready. He didn't have a nightmare that night. Instead, he just found it hard to sleep because he would eventually have to face that Sirius was no longer with him anymore.

He was ready to leave by 7:30 and walked down to the kitchen to grab something quick to eat that he wouldn't have to clean. He put some toast in the toaster and waited a minute for it to be done to take it back to his room to eat. On his way back to his room, Harry ran into his Uncle Vernon getting up to get ready to go to work and his Aunt Petunia heading down to get breakfast ready for the family. He tried to keep to himself and walk to his room in silence when his Uncle said angrily, "Boy, don't you dare ignore us. You're just lucky that we allow you to stay in this house."

Harry replied, "Yes sir."

"Why are you dressed as if you're getting ready to go anywhere? You know that you can't leave this house you freak!"

"Somebody will be by soon to pick me up to take me somewhere. Don't worry, you have nothing to worry about. I'll be home by dinner time."

"You make sure those freaks don't attract attention. God knows that everyone of you freaks should be dead so the world can be normal again."

Harry stood there successfully suppressing his anger at his uncle for insulting his friends and for being happy over the fact that his godfather was dead. Vernon didn't know about his godfather so Harry decided to continue to keep it a secret, after all there's nothing that the Dursleys can do about it anyway. Harry didn't say another word after looking at his Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia for a few seconds and went into his room.

He was looking out the window of his room when he heard the doorbell ring. He heard Uncle Vernon say, "Harry, your friends are here." At this moment, Harry knew for sure that Uncle Vernon was nervous when around wizards and witches. He headed down stairs dressed in his Hogwarts uniform, considering those were the best robes that he had that still fit him. He had grown every year and the only set of robes that fit him well was his Gryffindor robes.

When he reached the bottom of the stairs, Harry saw that Professor Lupin was waiting for him with Tonks. The two of them were standing in the living room with Tonks glancing back once in awhile to the TV that was already running early in the morning.

Harry was grinning at the site of those two and said, "How are you two doing today?"

Tonks turned around and said, "Wotcher Harry, how is everything?"

"Everything is fine. How about you Professor?"

Lupin smiling at Harry said, "I'm fine. I have a week before the next full moon so everything is good so far. Just as long as you don't take anymore late night walks around town."

In a serious tone, Harry said, "It's not my fault that I saw some Deatheaters walking down the street last night. After all, somebody had to stop them."

Tonks sounding surprised said, "I didn't see anything last night. Harry why didn't you tell somebody? You shouldn't be outside at night. You know better than to do that."

Harry laughing said, "I'm just kidding Tonks. Just felt like getting the two of you worked up that's all."

Tonks threw a sofa pillow at Harry which Harry caught without flinching and swung it at Professor Lupin who didn't move out of the way quickly enough. Lupin placed the pillow back on the sofa because of the looks that he was getting from Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia for playing in their immaculate home.

Professor Lupin said, "Harry, I'm not your professor anymore. Please call me either Remus, Lupin, or Moony."

Harry replied, "Alright, Pro…Remus. That'll get some used to."

"Well, we should be going."

"How are we getting there, Remus?"

"We'll be taking a portkey that Professor Dumbledore had setup for us. It activates in ten seconds so come on."

Remus pulled out a ball point pen while Tonks and Harry walked over to place a finger on the pen. The portkey activated and Harry felt the familiar tug of his navel. After recovering from the portkey, Harry realized that they were standing in the portkey area next to the Leaky Cauldron. The three of them headed into the Leaky Cauldron and proceeded through the back and entered Diagon Alley.

Diagon Alley still seemed pretty busy as always but it seemed like everybody was moving in smaller groups. Even though there were laughter and kids running around with out a care in the world, the expression on some of the older wizards and witch's faces were a bit more reserved and filled with concern. It just wasn't the same type of happy and carefree environment that he remembered during his first time to Diagon Alley with Hagrid.

After seeing all of the faces of concern, Harry was taken back to reality why he was there in the first place. All of the happiness that he experienced that morning with Tonks and Remus disappeared and the two of them seemed to recognize the mood change that Harry went through almost instantly.

Harry was flanked on both sides by Remus and Tonks like Harry was their only child and they were afraid that he would run and cause some trouble. Remus than broke the silence by saying, "Harry are you alright?"

Harry was still looking around at the slight change and said, "I'm fine. I guess it didn't really hit me until just now the reason why we are here today."

With concern in his voice, Remus said, "You know we're here for you whenever you need us. If you need to talk or do something, well do something that is safe that is, we're here to do all we can. We miss him also Harry. You don't have to mourn alone."

Also with concern in his voice, Tonks said, "Yeah Harry. We're here if you need us and if you try to joke around by saying that you were chasing Deatheaters again than I'm going to hex you before Remus can save you." She had a more playful tone towards the end of what she said.

Harry looked at the two of them and said, "Thanks guys. It really does mean a lot but I'm not quite ready to talk about it yet. If you need to talk than I'm here for you two also. Besides, the two of you seemed like you needed to loosen up a bit; there was so much tension this morning. Don't worry Tonks. I'm not going to tease you like that again." There was a slight pause than Harry said while trying to hold back a grin, "Tonks, can I call you by your first name?"

With a serious tone Tonks turned to him and stopped him, "Harry, if you call me by my first name than I will chase you down and when I'm done with you, you will be wondering what your first name will be."

Harry stared at her for a while and said, "Alright Tonks, you should know that Lupin says your first name all the time."

Lupin turned around with a mock horror expression and said, "Harry, you try to frame me like that again and I'll help Tonks chase you down."

The three of them needed that little tension breaker and continued to head towards Gringott's Wizarding Bank. When they reached the bank, Tonks led Harry off to the side by a wall and stood guard over him while Remus headed over to a desk and talked to a goblin behind the desk.

Remus motioned them over towards a door that Remus and the goblin was heading towards on the right side of the bank that seemed to host a series of doors. The goblin showed them through the door and said, "Just walk through the next set of doors and have a seat. The reading will start in a few minutes once the last remaining parties have arrived."

The three of them entered what appeared to be an observation room. The room was fairly small with a few chairs around a rectangular table. One of the walls of the room was made of glass. Harry stood still for awhile watching all the people that were waiting in the next room.

Harry saw that the entire Weasley family was there along with Hermione Granger and her parents with Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Mad-Eye Moody, Kingsley Shackelbolt, and a few other people that he did not recognize. It was at that moment that Harry realized that he forgot something. He asked aloud to nobody in particular, "I thought there was a memorial for Sirius prior to the reading of the will."

Remus answered him while also staring into the same room that Harry was looking at, "There was a change of plans at the last minute due to security concerns. There will be a small gathering later on at headquarters instead of where it was originally planned because we got word that there was a high probability that there was going to be an ambush during the ceremony."

"I see. Why didn't we use the memorial as an excuse to set up a trap for the ambush?"

"We can't really use that as a trap because there would be too many innocent people around along with the fact that we don't know how big of a force that Voldemort will send."

"I don't know if I'm ready for this. If I hear Sirius' will, than he really is gone."

"I know what you mean. We can wait in here for a while longer until the Wizarding attorney shows up to execute the reading."

"How do we know he is really gone? I mean, how do we know what's beyond the veil?"

Remus turned Harry to face him and pulled out two chairs and sat down facing each other with Tonks standing behind Harry. Remus said, "I know that you want to believe that there is a way for him to be alive but there isn't. Nobody returns after crossing the veil. Even if only part of the body falls across the veil than that part of the body is lost forever."

Tonks crouched down behind Harry and wrapped her arms around Harry and whispered in his ear, "It'll be alright."

Harry sighed and was almost immediately interrupted by the door to the main lobby of the bank opening up again. This time a wizard that Harry did not recognized walked into the room. The wizard turned around and said, "I'm Andrew Slate. I'm Mr. Black's attorney. Are you all ready to join everybody else for the reading of the Will?"

Harry blinked a few times sighed, then reluctantly said, "Yes sir."

At that moment Mr. Slate recognized Harry by his scar and stared at him for a few seconds and said, "Please follow me into the next room and we can proceed."

As they opened the door into the room where everybody else was gathered, everybody in the room stopped talking or doing whatever they were doing and looked at who was coming in the room. The room had small chairs lined in rows with a center aisle that was in the middle of the room which led to a small table with a chair at the front of the room. Mr. Slate proceeded to walk to the front of the room and sat behind the table and pulled out some documents and placed them in various stacks on the table.

Tonks walked in first than Harry who was followed in by Remus. Hermione, Ginny, Ron, and Mrs. Weasley were getting ready to rush towards Harry but stopped once Tonks raised her hand to tell them not to approach Harry. Harry was thankful to Tonks for doing what she did because he didn't know if could say anything to them face to face yet.

Everybody sat down and didn't say another word. Harry felt bad for not greeting anybody but all the energy that he possessed earlier seemed to vanish once he made it into Gringott's. After a moment of utter silence, Mr. Slate stood up and started to read aloud the will. When Mr. Slate begin to speak, Harry didn't pay much attention because it didn't seem important and just a mere formality.

Shortly afterwards, Harry was brought back to reality when Tonks nudged him on the side to get him to pay attention. Harry started to hear Mr. Slate again at some point prior to Sirius' actual will. Mr. Slate continued to read.

I, Sirius Black, of sound mind and body nullify and void all previous wills that are in my name. The following are my wishes for the distribution of the possessions and holdings of the Noble House of Black.

To Remus Lupin, I leave you 10 million galleons. I know that you don't like charity and this in fact is not charity. You've been my friend for a very long time and managed to do certain things that I was unable to fulfill for a very long time which was watch over Harry. I can never thank you enough for what you've done so far and ask that you continue to watch over him. Take the money and have some fun with it. We all know that you need some new robes so now there's no reason for you to be wearing tattered robes. Have fun my friend and never forget that.

To Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, I leave you each 10 million galleons. You've been great friends to Harry and he's always said that with out the two of you than he would've been lost a long time ago. Continue to take care of him and watch out for each other. Ron, never forget that laughter is a great form of medicine. Hermione, keep Harry out of trouble especially since we know that he always gets tangled up in some.

To the Weasley Family, I leave you 30 million galleons. I'm not sure you realize it or not but Harry has always seen you like his family. The amount of love and care that you've given him over the years can not be matched by all the galleons in Gringott's. I thank you all for taking care of him.

To Nymphadora Tonks, my lovely cousin, I leave you 5 million galleons. I hope that you find happiness and manage to trap a certain wolf that we all know you have a thing for. Don't worry, he's too thick to realize anything but never let him go. You should go ahead and make the first move and don't let him use excuses to get out of anything.

There were snickering in the room when Mr. Slate read the part about Tonks.

To Albus Dumbledore, I leave you 50 million galleons. Thirty million galleons is for a group of over aged protectors that I think you know what I mean, ten million is for the school and ten million is for you. I know we have not always agreed on various subjects but I also owe you a great debt of gratitude for protecting Harry all these years. I still believe that he should be told much more than what he is told now and I think you know why.

To Ginerva Weasley, I leave you 5 million galleons. I think most of us know of how you are taken by a certain individual. Continue to live your life but just like Tonks, you might have to make the first move. After all, I haven't had the chance to give him the talk yet. Don't ever give up on your dreams.

Ginny blushed as a few people in the room turned to look at her. Harry was wondering who this person could be since Ginny was obviously over him.

To Harry Potter, my godson, I am so sorry that things are turning out the way that they are. I hope that I went down fighting for the light and especially protecting you over all else. Most of your friends along with myself are probably safe in assuming that you are blaming yourself for what happened but don't. This just shows one of your greatest qualities as an individual and as a wizard, which is your heart. Always follow your heart but let your mind guide you. I know you probably don't want or need anything but I want to just make sure so, I will be leaving you everything else that has not been distributed yet. This should be about 500 million galleons along with Grimmauld Place along with the business investments in the muggle world which should be about 200 million pounds which is in addition to all the money in the various muggle banks.

There is something else that I intended to give you upon your seventeenth birthday but I guess I won't be able to. So, I will give it to you now. The instructions are in a letter that will be given to you once the reading of this Will is complete. In summary with the combining of both the Potter and Black family vaults and fortunes, you are one of the richest person in the world both muggle and wizarding.

There is one more thing that I wanted done. Harry, I'm pretty sure right now there are many people gathered in the room that would be more than willing to watch out for you and take care of you. I want to make sure that you're being taken care of by somebody that has the means and opportunity to do so. I've already talked to two of these people and would like you to make a decision. It's not an easy decision for that I apologize to you but I believe that what ever decision you make that it will be fine with everybody involved. I want you to choose your new guardian.

After hearing choose your new guardian, Harry felt like the wind was knocked out of him.

I would have chosen for you but I don't believe that I know as much about your relationship and history with these people as much as you do. I've asked Arthur and Molly to be your guardian and I've asked Remus. It's up to you who will be your guardian but I hope you choose one soon for they know what responsibilities that requires of them. Choose well Harry.

I guess this is where the Will is going to end. But remember these last words, "Whenever you need me, I'm going to be in your heart. Never give up and always try to have fun."

There was complete silence when the reading was completed. Harry had a tear going down his cheek but his mind started to race. 'Who am I going to choose? I love the Weasleys but I want to be with Remus also.' He wasn't sure of what he was going to choose.

Remus turned to Harry and said, "Harry, what ever you choose would be fine but I want you to know that both the Weasleys and myself consider it just an honor that Sirius considered us to be your guardian."

Mr. Weasley startled Harry when he placed his hand on Harry's should and said, "Remus is right Harry. No matter what happens you are still part of this family."

Mrs. Weasley continued on by saying, "Harry, it is important that you make this decision soon just in case something happens." She pulled Harry up and gave him a bone crushing hug. That was when he realized that Mrs. Weasley had been crying during the reading of the Will.

After Mrs. Weasley let Harry go, he stood back and looked at the three people. Than after a moment, Harry said, "This is probably one of the hardest decisions that I've ever had to make so far. I'm sorry but I know no matter what everybody says, somebody is going to get hurt by my decision. I want you all to know that I would love to stay with either of you but I can't. I guess I'll choose…" There was a slight pause while Harry took a deep breath and lifted his head up to look at everybody again. "I will be honored, if Remus will be my guardian. I'm sorry Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. It just feels right to be with the last Marauder."

Mr. Weasley said, "Don't feel sorry. I'll be honest with you, I am a little disappointed that you did not choose us but there are no hard feelings. I know that this was not an easy decision and I will reiterate that we still believe you to be a Weasley just like we see Hermione like one of our daughters also."

Harry replied, "Thank you sir. You have no idea how much that means to me. Your family was the first to accept me as me and not the Boy-Who-Lived. It is from you and your family that I've learned much about compassion."

Remus said, "Are you sure about this Harry? You know that I'll be unable to watch you at certain times of the month. Plus, you should know that not many people are going to like the fact that a werewolf is the guardian to Harry Potter."

Harry looked right into Remus' eyes and said, "Yes, Remus. I'm sure about this. Besides you know that I can take care of myself. The days while you're gone, I'll be able to go play. Anyways, since when have I cared about what other people think about me? Of course, with the exception of those that are close to me."

Remus pulled Harry into a hug and said, "Your parents and Sirius are proud of you Harry. Don't ever forget that. You've given more of your heart than most wizards and witches would give. If you dare try to take advantage of the situation when I'm not around, I will lock you up and take away your wand until I return."

There were light laughter around the room when Remus was talking than Mr. Slate interrupted everybody with a cough and said, "If everybody listed in Sirius Black's Will can come up here and sign your name so the Will can be executed."

Everybody stepped forward and signed the Will by tapping their wand on the document. Harry was last to tap the document. Once he had finished tapping the document, Mr. Slate said, "Mr. Potter, here is the letter that Mr. Black left for you."

After taking the letter, Harry said in a calm and confident voice, "Mr. Slate, I was wondering if I can retain your services."

"I would be honored to work for you Mr. Potter. I must inform you that my services are not cheap."

"I understand sir. Please call me Harry."

"What is it that you would like for me to do?"

"I want to set up a few accounts for various purposes. The first thing is, I would like to set aside 30 million galleons for scholarships to pay for students who are accepted into Hogwarts but they don't have the means to attend the school and those families that can afford to send the child or children to school but will strain the family finances. The second thing is, I would like to set aside 50 million galleons to setup various orphanages around Britain but centered in Hogsmeade. The different orphanages will care for wizarding and muggle children. I want everybody in charge of running the various orphanages to be caring and loving people. The third account will have 20 million galleons set aside for an education program across the wizarding world. The program will help to educate wizards and witches about various misconceptions about what is right and wrong and help to eliminate prejudices with these misconceptions like issues concerning half giants, giants, werewolves, and any other issues that I can't think of right now. All of these accounts will be in the name of the Marauders. I would like to remain quiet about all of the management of these accounts but reserve the right to step in and make an executive decision if I feel that it is necessary. That same power will lay with Remus Lupin, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Albus Dumbledore. Of course that is pending that they would like to participate in these projects."

"I will take care of all of those for you. They should probably all be done by the end of next week. It is a very noble thing that you are doing. You've inspired me also and I would like to do this for you for free. Is that all that you needed?"

"For now, until I can think of anything else. If there are any problems please let me know."

"Thank you sir and good day."

"Good day."

Mr. Slate left the room. When Harry turned around after Mr. Slate left the room, he saw a room full of surprised faces. Professor Dumbledore stepped forward and with a twinkle in his eye said, "That was a great thing you just did Harry. I guess that I should know by now that you are full of surprises. I would be honored to work in this project with you but I must go. I'll talk to you again soon, Harry."

"Thank you professor."

Hermione walked over to Harry and pulled him into a hug, "Harry, it's so good to see you. I hope that you're doing better."

"It's good to see you too Hermione. How have you been?"

"I've been good; it was a great thing that you just did. I know that many people will benefit from it for many years. You do know that you did set aside just about enough funds to pay for every student to go to Hogwarts for the next 300 years."

"What's the point of having money if you can't help others with it?"

Ron gave him a pat on the back as Hermione pulled away. He said with a grin, "It really was a good thing. Me and Hermione will be glad to help you with this project."

Ginny ran up next and interrupted her brother by hugging Harry so tight that he could barely breathe. Harry leaned his head down closer to her ears and whispered, "Thank you Gin."

Ginny whispered back to him, "Your welcome. I'm always here for you and never forget that."

Harry smiled, as everybody was watching the two of them saying something to each other but couldn't hear. Remus and Tonks were working hard to hide the grins on their faces. Harry and Ginny reluctantly pulled away from each other and Ginny asked, "Harry are you going to read the letter that Sirius left for you?"

Harry realized that he forgot all about the letter that he just received and pulled the letter out from his pocket. He went to sit down behind the desk so nobody could read the letter.

Harry,

If you're reading this letter, it means that I've died. I'm sorry for leaving you again and hope with all my heart right now that I died protecting you. If that did happen, don't blame yourself for it because it was not your fault and I did what I wanted to do with all my heart and soul. Please continue to live on and try to find happiness. Always remember the good times and don't forget to laugh once in awhile. A good prank is always hard to come by.

There's another reason why I'm writing this letter to you. I was going to give you a few things that rightfully belong to you that are currently in the Potter Family Vault. It's not the vault that your parents set aside for you but this vault contains the family fortune both in money, heirlooms, and priceless things. I've been to the vault once and set aside a few things I believe that you need but didn't want to give it to you until you were seventeen, this was because Dumbledore wanted you to develop more before you received it. If I'm gone than I think that times are getting really bad and you need these things as soon as possible.

The box that I'm talking about is a glossy, rose wood, fire polished box that is sitting on a pedestal immediately in front of you once you walk into the vault. Only a Potter and their guardian may enter the vault but I think that you shouldn't let people know about the contents in this vault until you know what's inside first. Inside the vault there is a small book next to the box that I mentioned earlier that lists the contents of the vault along with a description of the items listed and a small picture of it. The first page is blank because it will magically list the item and a description of the object that you're thinking about. The book will automatically update itself on the contents of the vault. Use the items well Harry and remember, I've never left your heart.

With all my heart and soul,

Sirius

A small tear escaped Harry's face as he read the letter as everybody watched him in silence wondering what it was that Sirius was talking about. Harry looked up and saw the concern on everybody's faces. He stood up wiped the tears from his face and said, "Thank you everybody for coming. If anybody here needs anything please let me know. After all, everybody knows that I have enough money to take care of most things that can be bought."

Professor McGonagall said, "Harry, we're more proud of you than I think you know. Your heart is pure and good. We don't care about your money. We just wanted to make sure that you're fine."

Harry nodded and said, "Thank you professor. There is something that I must do quickly. Will everybody please excuse me?"

Remus said, "What is it that you need to do? You know that we can't let you going off on your own."

Harry replied, "Don't worry; it has to do with the Potter Family Vault. I'll be only a few minutes but I need to do this first."

"I'm coming with you Harry. I'm your guardian now and you're not going to get rid of me that easily."

Hermione, Ron, and Ginny spoke up, "Yeah, we're coming with you."

Harry sighed and knew that he wouldn't be able to get rid of them so he said, "You all can join me when we get to the vault but I need to do something in the vault by myself. Please understand that."

Everybody reluctantly agreed. All the extra order members decided to leave and patrol Diagon Alley until Harry returned to make sure his trip home is safe. The Weasleys, Grangers, Remus, and Tonks joined Harry on the trip to the vault.

Harry asked everybody while they were in the rail cart taking them to the Potter Vault, "How has everybody's summer been going?"

Hermione answered, "It's been going really good. I've managed to get most of my homework done and should be done by the end of next week. I'm trying to get Ron to do his also but he hasn't started yet. Honestly, I would give almost anything if the two of you would take your studies much more seriously after all if you're done early than you have the rest of the summer to have fun."

Harry said with a snicker, "Hermione, you're not going to like that you said that."

Ron said, "Yeah Hermione, don't worry I'll get it done soon. Besides I'll get mine done as soon as Harry does."

Harry said, "You're not going to like what you said either."

Ginny sensing something really good is about to happen asked, "Harry, what are you talking about?"

Harry said, "Well, Hermione now has to do what ever it is that I want and Ron has to do his homework as soon as he gets home and continue to do so because I'm already done."

Hermione and Ron were surprised and Ron's mouth was hanging open. Ginny trying to get the two in trouble said, "So Harry, what are you going to make them do?"

Harry replied with a wicked grin, "I'll think of something." He winked at Ginny and Hermione began to shrink down in her seat.

Ron sounding very relieved said, "Good thing all I have to do is my homework and not have to wait for what ever Harry is thinking of."

Harry said, "Don't think you're off the hook yet, Ron. I can make Hermione do something horrible to you if you keep saying things like that. After all you do know that Hermione is the smartest witch in our year."

Ron began to shrink down in his seat as everybody laughed with the exception of Hermione's parents because they weren't sure what was going on. Hermione's dad trying to come to his daughter's aid said, "Harry, I hope that you're not going to do anything dishonorable or bad."

Harry sounding very confident said, "Don't worry sir. It will just be just to teach the two of them a lesson."

Hermione's parents seemed satisfied with that answer because they knew from Hermione's stories that he was an upstanding person. Before they knew it, they arrived at the Potter Vault and everyone stepped onto the platform in front of the Vault.

The goblin said, "State your name and if you are permitted into the Vault than you will be able to step through the vault entrance."

Harry stood in front of the vault door and said in a strong affirmative voice, "Harry James Potter." He raised his hand seeing if he can go through the wall and slowly walked past the vault entrance.

The vault was at least five times larger than his personal vault. It had a mountain of Galleons on the right side of the vault and on the left side there were shelves and rows of various things on its shelves from paintings to jewelry to clothes to mountains of books, and to furniture. There were so many different things on the shelves that he couldn't believe that a room could hold all of these things. Along the center row of the vault were two rows of pedestals facing each other. The pedestals either had something sitting on top or floating above it. There were weapons and small boxes. Straight ahead of the entrance on the back wall was a large banner with the Potter Family Crest. Underneath the banner was the pedestal with the box that Sirius talked about in his letter to Harry.

Harry walked forward and headed straight for the box. He opened the box and saw that the box was sectioned. Each section of the box contained something small. Harry took the small book to the right of the box and opened it to the first page. He looked at the first and second section which had a wand inside of it that was inside of a wand holster with the Potter Crest on it. Harry looked over at the book and the first page showed the picture of two wands and two wand holsters. The description of the wands said, these are 12" fire polished rose wood brother wands with the entwined core with a string from the heart of a phoenix, a griffin, and a Chinese fireball dragon. The wands individually double the strength and accuracy of the caster but when combined makes the casting five times more effective along with additional abilities that only develop with the casters ability. The holsters magically bind to the person and can deliver the wands to the casters hand in less than a hundredth of a second. These four items can not be stolen or taken without the approval of the owner.

Harry took the wand and its holsters out and attached both pairs to the inside of his left and right hand. He looked at the compartment next to it which contained a gold and red necklace of a phoenix with its wings open looking like it was screaming. The description of the wands disappeared and the description and picture of the necklace appeared. The description said that this necklace was forged by Godric Gryffindor and Rowena Ravenclaw. This necklace blocks all minor hexes and jinxes and reduces the effects of all other spells. It also allows the person to read at a rate of five times their current speed while also increasing the person's ability to understand something at five times the rate that they currently are able to learn new material. This necklace cannot be stolen or taken without the owner's approval.

Harry wore the necklace around his neck, tucked the necklace inside his clothes, and looked over to the next section. It contained a pair of stylish silver colored glasses. The description in the book said that the frames of the glass are made of platinum. The lenses were made by Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff. These lenses are specialized lenses that are light weight and damage proof. The lenses automatically adjusts to accommodates the necessary prescription level with the added benefit of seeing through objects, spotting those hidden by invisibility cloaks, those charmed to be hidden from sight, the ability to see in the night as if it was day time, telescoping ability of seeing twice the distance of normal human eyes, and to protect the eyes from bright lights.

Harry took off his glasses and put on the new glasses and immediately was able to see much better. It was than that Harry remembered that he hasn't been to the eye doctor for years and his prescription was out of date. He looked into the next section which contained a pin with the Potter Crest and a pin with the Gryffindor Crest. The description for the pin was that the pin with the Potter Family Crest allowed a person to portkey anywhere they wanted to go. It is also the only permanent portkey that allows a person to get to Potter Mansion. In order to portkey to Potter Mansion than the wearer says, "Home to the Phoenix." In order to portkey anywhere else than the person needs to just think of wanting to be there similar to apparating without draining the user's magic reserves. This pin also has a sister pin. The sister pin is the Gryffindor pin. These two pins can portkey the person wearing them to each other's location at any time if they need to find them. All the wearer has to think of is getting to the other person. The Gryffindor pin can only portkey the person to the Potter pin and back to where they last left from. These pins also can not be stolen or taken without the owner's approval. Harry was thinking, 'This could be very interesting. I wonder who I'm going to give the Gryffindor pin.'

Harry clipped the Potter pin into his right wand holster then clipped the Gryffindor pin to his left wand holster and looked into the last section of the box. In the last section there was a red ring that had the Hogwarts Coat of Arms etched into the ring. The book said that this ring when worn becomes hidden. The ring increases the wearer's level senses, perception, agility, and reflexes. This ring was forged by the four founders of Hogwarts. This ring also can not be stolen or taken without the owner's approval. Harry wore the ring and it instantly disappeared. Almost immediately, Harry became aware of the environment he was in. He heard a little whisper coming from the vault entrance of everybody waiting for him. Harry closed the box and placed the book back next to the box and turned to leave the vault. Harry made a mental note to come back to see what else was in the vault.

Harry walked out of the vault and everybody turned to see him coming through the vault door. He looked around grinning because he was thinking of all the new toys that he had now. Harry asked everybody, "Let's go. Do you think we can go shopping?"

Remus said, "I'm sorry but we have to get going."

"Is there a reason why we are leaving so quickly?"

"It's just the longer you're away from your Aunt and out in the open than the more danger you're in."

"Alright, but can we get something to eat first?"

"Sure, we can go to the Leaky Cauldron." Remus turned to face everybody and asked, "Would you all like to join us at the Leaky Cauldron for lunch?"

Everyone agreed to lunch and headed down Diagon Alley to the Leaky Cauldron. When walking down Diagon Alley, Harry saw Fred and George's joke shop, Weasley Wizarding Wheezes. He asked the twins, "How's business going, Forge and Gred?"

George said, "It's going great. We're making so much money that we don't really know what to do with it."

Fred said, "You should definitely stop by. After all you have as much interest in the business as you do."

Harry thought about what Fred just said and he was wondering if Mrs. Weasley knew about him giving his Tri-wizard Tournament winnings. As if his mind was being read, Mrs. Weasley said, "Don't worry Harry. I ended up forcing them to tell me how they got the money to start their shop but as long as they're happy than I'll be happy for them."

Harry said, "I'm sorry for hiding it from you Mrs. Weasley but I figured they were already going to be having enough trouble facing you about dropping out of school."

Remus interrupted by saying, "Plus, he doesn't want to face the Weasley temper. Not to mention I think that Harry is more fearful of the temper of the Weasley women."

Everybody laughed and continued their way to the Leaky Cauldron. On their way to the Leaky Cauldron, Harry noticed there were still many Order members that were walking around patrolling and pulled closer towards the group as they made their way to go eat.

About two thirds the way through their walk, there were loud screams heard. Everybody turned around and saw Dementors floating towards the center of Diagon Alley. Most of the Order members took off to chase after the Dementors. Harry made to run to help but was tackled after taking two steps.

Somebody pulled Harry back on to his feet and when Harry looked to see who knocked him down it was Remus. Remus said, "No Harry. We have to get you and the others out of here."

Harry sounding very excited said, "We can't leave them. We have to help them!" Harry was struggling to go but was now being held back by Tonks and Mr. Weasley. While struggling, Harry saw that Charlie and Bill were leading and shielding the rest of them in a dead end alley between two stores. Tonks and Mr. Weasley were dragging Harry until he willingly followed. Tonks and Mr. Weasley were on Harry's left and right side while Remus was covering their backs.

When they made it into the alley, Harry pulled out his original wand from his pocket and yelled, "Expecto Patronum." A silvery stag erupted from his wand. Harry said, "Just in case they need some help." Harry turned to the stag and said, "Go and help them get rid of those Dementors."

The stag ran out of the alley and turned down Diagon Alley toward the fight. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were guarding Hermione's parents while Tonks, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Fred, George, Bill, and Charlie watched the sides of the alley just in case an attack can come from any direction. Remus stood in front of Harry with is left hand shielding Harry from running into the fight.

After about fifteen minutes of fighting, Professor Dumbledore showed up in the alley where they were hiding. He was followed by Fawkes who was flying in circles around Professor Dumbledore as if he were guarding the Headmaster.

He pulled out a piece of parchment and said, "I want all the Weasleys and the Grangers to place a finger on this piece of parchment. It will take you back to Headquarters where it will be safe."

Ginny asked, "What about Harry?"

With a twinkle in his eye the Headmaster looked at Ginny and said, "You don't have to worry Ms. Weasley. Fawkes will be taking Harry back to his room." He turned to look at Remus and Tonks and said, "I'm going to need the two of you to assist me here if possible."

Remus said, "Shouldn't we make sure that Harry is safe. After all the entire Order is here and nobody will be able to guard him."

Harry said, "It will be alright Remus. With an attack going on right now, I don't think that they will try another attack so soon."

Remus nodded and said, "Don't leave that house for anything Harry. If anything happens than send Hedwig out."

Everybody didn't seem too happy with the idea of Harry not having somebody to guard him except for Harry. Fawkes lowered himself to Harry and he grabbed onto Fawkes' tail feathers and was the first person to leave Diagon Alley.

Iamrecognized: Thanks for the review, it's just I like longer chapters but I'll consider shortening it into smaller chapters for later chapters.
