EDITOR'S NOTE: Just so that everyone knows, I've changed Harry's new title from Lord Black, to Lord Potter, just because it makes more sense. (I have permission to do so)

hi all just a quick thanks once again to Julie my beta/editor who is wonderful

Chapter 5: Black manor

Harry looked up at Hermione and she smiled,

"Let's go Harry, we have some people we need to talk to." She said.

"Okay." Said Harry. "I just want to get some gold out and we can go." At this Griphook reappeared out of nowhere and bowed to Harry.

"Lord Potter." Exclaimed Griphook. "If I may be so bold, as you are now one of the wealthiest wizards in our world, we wish to know if you would like to have a wizard's bank card."

"Bank card?" Asked Harry. "Aren't they muggle things?"

"Well technically yes, but this card will work in the wizard world as well as the muggle world, and you have a permanent maximum cash rating. Which means that you have no limit to what you can buy as long as your finances are good. However, you will never have to worry about that as I just had the results of the cash total of your new vault for you my lord!" Griphook said.

"Well how much?" Asked Harry.

"You have a grand total of 2.8 billion galleons in your vault, that excludes the value of your property as well." As Griphook said this Harry felt his knees grow weak and he sat back down in his chair. Harry looked to Griphook and asked him,

"You're sure that's correct?" Griphook nodded and said,

"Completely, my lord right down to the knuts." Harry looked ashen and Hermione was sitting on his lap, stroking his forehead affectionately occasionally tracing the scar on his forehead with her fingers. After some minutes had passed, Griphook coughed gently and said,

"My lord, if you will follow me we need to just do some quick paperwork regarding the card. Then you can go about you business as it's nearly four thirty and we are closing." Harry gave Hermione a little wink, raked his hand through his newly lengthened hair and pushed Hermione gently off his lap, giving her arse a playful slap as she stood. Hermione turned and looked at Harry, first reproachfully and then with a small naughty smile that made Harry go pink in the cheeks said,

"Lets go Harry." Griphook led them out of the vault, Griphook ran his finger down one edge of the open door and it slid shut. Harry asked Althalus the dragon to let them pass, as he did Harry said,

"Guard this well, my new friend." Patting the huge ear of Althalus as he moved past. Althalus bowed to him and said,

"Lord Potter, I am forever your subject to command as you see fit. I will guard this vault with my life if it comes to it." And with that, he went back to reading the quidditch section of the daily prophet. Harry, Hermione, and Griphook were now back in the cart, this time at a relatively sedate speed. When they arrived back to the main offices and got out of the cart they walked back into the bank, to find it was empty except for the head goblin whom Harry was introduced to.

"Lord Potter, this is the head of Gringotts bank Dawea." Said Griphook bowing away as he said this.

"It's good to finally meet you Lord Potter. I believe you are going to be using the Gringotts bank card?" Harry nodded, and said,

"What does it look like, if I can use it in the muggle world, I might get funny looks, depending on the outward appearance." At this, Harry grinned and Dawea just looked at him as if he hadn't said anything remotely funny.

"Well, Lord Potter, it is a parchment the size of a muggle credit card. When it is in the muggle world a transfiguring spell has been put on it so that it will transfigure into a plastic card with the illusion that it's from the Potters international bank. If there are no more questions, Lord Potter, would you please sign this parchment, and if you wish to add any other people on to the list, these people will also get cards to for there personal use." Harry put his name on the bottom, "Lord Harry James Sirius Black Potter". Harry also put on Hermione's name and Arthur Weasley, who Harry considered as much a father like figure as he had Sirius. He also, wasn't well off in the way of money and was sure would appreciate the help.

After Harry had signed he asked Dawea how long they would take. Not letting Hermione hear, as he wanted it to be a surprise. Dawea said,

"They will take two hours." So Harry looked at the clocks in the hall of the huge Gringotts bank and stared in amazement as he saw something he hadn't noticed before when being here. Next to the traditional muggle clocks, was a large astrological clock, with planets spinning and such. Harry had only ever seen one of these before and that was third year of school when Professor R.J. Lupin had used the Astronomy Tower for practicing the patronus charm to face the Dementors. The clock was truly beautiful but it made no sense to Harry, so he looked back at the muggle clock and found England. The clock read 5:30 pm. 'So they will be ready around seven thirty.' Harry thought. He said his farewells to the staff of Gringotts and they went back out to Diagon Alley. They made their way slowly up to the Leaky Cauldron, when they went in the back door, Tom, the innkeeper who Harry had known for some time came over to him.

"Congratulations Lord Potter, finally old Sirius can rest in peace knowing he has been cleared of any wrongdoing. Harry stood there in shock for a couple of seconds, then asked,

"How did you know?" Tom looked at Harry and said,

"Well, everyone knows, look at the Prophet!" He ran to the bar and ran back shoving the Daily Prophet into his hands. On the front was an old picture of Harry trying to hide from view after coming down from the air during the Triwizard Tournament. Harry read the article and just said,

"Oh well! That's the surprise for the Weasley's gone, never mind." Hermione came to Harry's side, took his elbow, and led him away towards the fireplace. Hermione turned to Harry and asked,

"Where did you want to go?"

"Oh yeah, we'll need to go to Privet Drive to get my stuff." Hermione grabbed a handful of floo powder and stepped into the fire.

"Number four, Privet Drive." She said, dropping the powder. Harry followed her, but as he stopped spinning he fell and landed on something soft, it was Hermione.

"Ouch! They've blocked the fireplace while I was gone!" He pulled out his wand and performed the blasting spell, creating a large hole where the cover once was. They stepped out and brushed themselves off, then walked through the living room to find Vernon, Dudley, and Petunia cowering in the kitchen. Harry walked over to them wand still drawn, this time pointed at the Dursleys who were white with fear. Harry stepped closer and said,

"Well, well, well. What have we here? Why if it isn't my loving family, the Dursleys! I am really surprised that my mum and dad were ever so nice to you! As you are the vilest wastes of muggle skin, I have ever had the misfortune to know. Well at this Vernon, his mustache quivering said,

"Your stupid parents never amounted to anything boy! THEY WERE LOSERS, BOTH OF THEM!" Harry at this point lost it, waved his wand and yelled,

"Petrificus totalus!" The three Dursleys' arms and legs snapped together and they fell backwards to the floor stiff as boards. Harry walked over to them and said,

"If you ever disrespect me or anyone I love, I will make it so that you have no home to live in and that you, Vernon Dursley, never, EVER, work again, as I have just received some good news. Would you like me to tell you? If not speak up." Harry paused; the Dursleys couldn't move a muscle. Harry said,

"You do? Oh that's nice of you. Well, okay, if you want to know. I have now become an official adult and I own this house. I believe my parents bought this house for you Vernon & Petunia, I am letting you stay here as it suits me to have you here, but my presence will be felt here from now on." With a click of his fingers, Harry summoned Dobby. He immediately appeared.

"How may I serve you, Lord Potter. I'm sorry! I mean… Harry." Dobby went into a low bow, his ears draping on the carpet.

"That's okay Dobby. I don't expect you to get it straight away."

"Harry is truly the greatest wizard of modern times!" Stated Dobby.

"Okay, Dobby, I need you to assign about two or three elves to make sure this family doesn't do anything that would upset me. Also you are to cook and clean this house while your elves are here but they will not comply with any orders unless it is life threatening, do you understand, Dobby?"

"I understand, Harry, it shall be done! Is there anything else?" Dobby asked, still bowing.

"Err… yes, there is. As it goes, that fat horrible cousin of mine, you are to control everything he eats and drinks and also you are to get him fit and get him to loose the weight he's got."

"It shall be done, Harry."

"Okay Dobby, that is it for now I will be along to the manor in a few minutes. Oh, and you can stop bowing any time." Dobby nodded and disappeared. Harry turned back to the Dursleys, all the while watched by Hermione.

"Right, you three you are going to change you whole attitude towards my parents and I whether you like it or not. I won't be coming back to live here but I will be here in…" Harry paused and leaned forward, towards the Dursleys. "Spirit!" Harry walked towards the fireplace and waved his wand towards the upstairs bedroom. All of Harry's things came floating down. Harry tossed floo powder into the fire.

"You go, I'll be along in a minute." She kissed him and shouted,

"Black Manor, Hogsmead!" In a flash she and his things were gone. Harry pointed his wand at the Dursleys and said,

"Don't worry, unlike you I am nice to my family, you may not think it now but this is all for your own good. Goodbye for now!" Harry swished his wand and said, "Finite Incantatum." He turned and tossed more powder into the fire and said, "Black Manor, Hogsmead!" He was gone from Privet Drive in a flurry of green flames.

Please read and review I hope you like what I am doing. I still also need a beta reader as well :-)
