In light of the recent passing of our dear friend Dumbledore, his will is being attended to, he has left one particular item for you, however we cannot send it to you, as we are not allowed to touch it, only you are, as those were his orders, so we will also distribute the rest of the items at the proper time. We would like to invite you down to Gringotts bank at any time after your birthday, as that is when this as well as several other inheritances will be able to be given to you.
Our Deepest apologies,
Grimscour, Gringotts Wizarding Bank
Harry stared at the letter, they couldn't touch it? Well that's a little odd. Other inheritances? What other inheritances? Suddenly Harry couldn't wait until after his 17th Birthday, not only because he would be allowed to inherit these items, but would also be able to leave this hole.
Two Weeks Later
Harry was now 17 years old, and he was feeling great, he was on his way to Gringotts to inherit some stuff, and then… Well he didn't know what he was going to do afterwards.
He made his way into the bank and introduced himself as, well himself and they invited him into the managers' offices and asked him to have a seat while they informed Grimscour of his arrival. He sat in the waiting room, hardly being able to contain himself, what if his parents had left him something? Or maybe it was Sirius? He knew he had inherited Grimauld Place, but what if there was some more family items? Finally he was invited inside Grimscour's office.
"Good day Mr. Potter!" He said gaily while shaking Harry's hand, "nice to meet you at last, so as today is your 17th Birthday, you will be given parts of the following wills, Albus Dumbledore's, James & Lily Potter's, as well as a Sirius Black's. Now we will go through the items you have received from each of these in reverse order, so we will start with Black. Sirius was the last of the Black family and since you were the sole beneficiary to his will, you actually inherited most of the Black family's property and gold. This includes Grimauld Place, which you have already been informed of, as well as property on St. Charles' Island, all of it in fact, you have also inherited 1 932 937 Galleons, 2 837 knuts, and 826 Sickles." He stated to an open mouthed Harry handing him two Deed titles, "Now from Lilly and James Potter you have inherited a number of things, "he handed Harry and envelope, "in the will it instructed that only you were to be able to open this envelope, and so we do not know what is in it," Harry looked at it, it was quite a heavy envelope, it was large as well, it was one of those large muggle post envelopes, the brown paper ones, "you have also inherited a house, and a rather large one at that, and on top of that, they left you another 8 619 163 Galleons, 2 170 knuts, and 282 Sickles, that is on top of the trust vault you have already been using." He stated handing Harry another Deed title. "Now, Albus only left you a few things, however they are in these boxes, which we have been instructed not to open and have been asked by Albus himself to request that you do not open them in public, there is also a letter here for you from Dumbledore." Grimscour passed Harry the letter, a final vault statement with his total amount of gold in it, and the boxes, there were two boxes, one was larger than the other, as well there was another letter attached to the smaller box. "I hope you have a good day Mr. Potter."
"Oh, I will, I'm sure, you have a good day as well." Harry shrunk the boxes and put them in his pocket along with the letters and deeds. He left to go back to the house on privet drive to collect his things, as he would be moving out immediately.
Harry arrived to the house on Privet Drive and said a hasty goodbye, he then shrunk all of his possessions, except for Hedwig of course, and put them in his pocket. He sat down on his bed and took out the Deed to his parents' house he opened the letter and as soon as he touched the deed he was immediately in his parents' house, a house elf greeted him at the door.
"Sir!" She cried in surprise, "Master Harry Potter has returned to us!" Harry just looked at her, and then looked around in amazement. He was standing in a white entrance way with gold painted trim as well as a large staircase that separated into two different branches. The banister on the staircase was gold as well, and was a spiral design. The floors were a white tile with gold in between them, as well some of them had gold designs on them, including a snitch, a dragon and an owl. "Sir? Are you alright Sir? My name is Shirly Sir, I am one of your many house elves Sir."
"House elves? Many house elves? Shirly, how many rooms does this house have?"
"Well Sir, I wouldn't call this a house sir, it is closer to a mansion, however there is a Master Bedroom, as well there are also ten guest bedrooms, to get to them, you go up the staircase and to your right, each bedroom has a bathroom suite and a balcony, as well as a walk in closet , each bedroom is furnished, but it is blank as you can decorate and redecorate with your magic sir. Your Bedroom has a King size bed Sir. Your Bathroom suite also has a very large Bathtub as well as a shower. So far that is eleven rooms. Then there is a Kitchen, a Dining room, a Living Room, a Family Room, a Games room, and an extra 4 rooms to make into whatever you would like. So in total that is 20 rooms, not including the basement, which has the family Safe room Sir. And to get to the Living Room, Family Room, the Games Room, and the extra 4 rooms, you take a left on the stair case. For the Kitchen, the Dining Room and the entrance to the basement you use the portraits on this floor. As of right now the password for these portraits is 'Arkensensar Flint' However you can change it whenever you like when you put your hand in the top right corner of the portrait, and then you say the password you want to change it to, you are the only one who can do this as you have the potter blood in you. But when you get married, your wife will be able to do the same, and if it changes without you knowing, then you may put your hand in the top left corner of the portrait and it will tell you the password and swing open." Shirly took several strained breaths. "The portrait of the Wine and Cheese is to the kitchen, the Dining Scene is the Dining Room, although you can get to the Dining Room through the kitchen, and the Stone Door portrait over there is to the basement, if you follow me I will direct you to your Master Bedroom."
"Thank you very much Shirly."
"Master is very welcome, Sir." Harry proceeded to follow Shirly up the stairs and to the right, they were in a hallway made of stone with many torches on the sides, "The door on the left is your guest quarters Sir and in front of you is your Master bedroom, I will leave you now as we will be needing to start dinner," She snapped her fingers and disappeared, he walked into his blank room and immediately began decorating, he changed it's colours to crimson red and hunter green with navy blue accents, he put in Cherry wood floors. There was a desk in the far right corner, the bed was in the top right corner beside the desk, to his left was a door, when he opened it, it was his bathroom, he also decorated that in hunter green, he turned around and took it all in, his house was gorgeous, and there was more than enough room for Ron and Hermione to stay while they were fighting Voldemort and his forces. He made his way over to the desk and put all of the items he had received from the bank on it and returned them to their normal size. He started with the envelope from his parents.
