Prologue 2: To Be A Respected Man
Harry, Dante, and Matthias made their was through the city until they were standing in front of the City Hall. It was a magnificent building dating back to the Ancient Greeks. The lage front door was flanked by 2 masterfully caved statues of birds in flight. So well done that in the failing daylight they look so real, one would think any minute they would fly off into the distance never to be seen again. But as they walked through the magnificent marble doors they falled to notice an other secret of the shadows around them. More specificly the short, darkly clothed man that had followed them though the city. He crept along silently behind them and as soon they entered he shifted into the shape of a small rodent and scurried along the wall.
"I think...it's...this way if memory serves me correct."Matthias wondered out loud. Dante made a sound of discust and pushed the boy in the opposit direction as he was about to go. "No, it's this way. We were here a week ago. How'd you forget your way around?" Matthias shrugged muttering something about haveing more important things to think about like girls and Harry just laughed at their squabbling. Kinda reminded him of the fights Hermione and Ron got into, except he was pretty sure they didn't have those kind of feeling for each other.
But of couse Dante was right and soon they were standing in front of a solid oak door. Matthias knock on it 3 times each administering a large booming sound. The door was opened by a house elf who ushered them in. "Masters they is here. Your son and his friends." A large man sitting at a desk smiled and thanked her. "Thank you very much Anny. Ah come on now we've no need to be formal give you old man a hug." Dante grinned like a 4 year old and the two men embrassed each other in a bear hug. When they let go, he came forward and greeted Matthias. "Welcome back boy. No doubt you were forgot the way again?" Matthias blushed but Mr.Sylvir just laughed and patted him on the back. Then he turned his eyes to Harry. "And heres the one all this ruckus is being made over. Mr. Potter." He held out his hand and Harry shook it formally but ginning from ear to ear. He could see this man was a big softie at heart.
"We'll come on then." Mr.Sylvir smiled at Harry. "Lets get this done Harry." Another man and a goblin stepped through the door and bowed to Mr.Sylvir. Harry didn't recognize the man but Harry assumed he was related to Matthias as they look so much alike. But he did recognize the goblin. "Griphook!" Harry exclaimed. "What are you doing here." Griphook had been the goblin who first took Harry down to his vault at Gringotts 4 years ago. The goblin set down a very thick folder he'd been carrying and greeted him. "Hello Mr. Potter. I don't think anyone would have told you that I'm the one who manages your money until you come of age?" Harry grasped the goblins hand and shook his head. "No. I'm afraid I wasn't given that bit of information." he said wearily.
The unnamed man look at all the faces in the room and sighed. "Harry I'm Mr.Whyte, Matty's uncle. I suggest we get down to buisness now as I've got other things to do." Harry nodded and the 5 men and Griphook took a seat around the desk. Griphook started things off opening his portfolio. "Now Mr. Potter under regular circumstances you would not recieve any of you inheritance until you turned 17. And you won't inherit any of you estats or money on the Potter side of this deal until then." Mr whyte took his turn to explain the events. "However while going through you file you were named to be the heir of a small island nation few know about. It seems that one of your great grand fathers far back was the ruler of the island. However when he disappeared they were with out one. No one has realized this until now and you are the only Potter left."
Dante's father took the last line. "The rulers of the island always come into their powers at the age of 15. Which you presently are. The nation is called Haspinte Island."
Harry looked very thoughtful. "If this is true." he said. "Then I ought to have been notified when I turned 14. Why wasn't I." the 2 men looked at each other and Griphook continued to look through his files. "Well you see we tried to contact you..." Mr.Whyte started. "But that meddling Dumbledor insisted that you were under his guardian ship and we weren't to tell you." Mr Sylvir continued. "We arn't even supposed to be contacting you know. But the Island needs a head."
Harry fumed at this. Dumbledor, Dumbledor, Dumbledor. The man was infurriating. He allowed Harry no privacy, had him followed in the summer, treated him like a baby. And now this. Controlling his anger he asked Griphook. "If I were to assume my place on the Island what would it entail?" It came out cold and dangerous. Griphook looked up for the first time since they'd started talking. "Well you would be taken to the island as soon as possible. It's actually in the middle of the medditeranian somewhere. You would assume full Power over the island. Make the important desisions ect. You would assume the title of Lord Saihttem which is what you people will call you. And Duke of Haspinte Island to everyone outside it. You are quite wealthy and would be able to recieve the best instruction in Dueling, sword fighting, and more."
Mr. Sylvir put in. "The people haven't had a Lord in over 100 years and they need one badly even though the island runs quite smoothly. It is a post of much respect. No one had ever ignored the Duke of Haspinte. You could learn more there than you ever could at Hogwarts. You servant is awaiting in the other room. May I call them in."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 hours after the meeting Harry, Dante, and Matthias were flying to Haspinte Island. Harry had been quite shocked when a girl about a year younger had entered the room and thrown herself on the floor yelling "All hail Lord Saihttem! May he live forever!" He'd blushed with embarassment so hard that he'd resembled a strawberry. It'd took them over an hour to convince her not to yell so loudly and not throw herself at his feet every time he spoke. Although he still couldn't stop her from calling him "My Lord" everytime he adressed her. Dante and Matthias had told their Father and Uncle that they would be accompanying Harry to keep him company and he was greatful for that. he definatly didn't want to go it alone. Especally in his personal carriage pulled by Thestrals.
He and the other 2 boys had been talking about what His castle would be like (They lived in castles when they were home after all) and Jade (the name of the young woman who was his 'servant') who would be his personal assistant and show him all around the castle. Matthias had taken an overly warm liking to the pretty girl. Suddenly Harry saw movment out of the corner of his eye. Dante saw it to and pointed his wand at it shouting "Accio!" Harry nearly when beserk when he saw who it was. Peter Pettigrew in animagus form. While Matthias held Harry back (He was almost foaming at the mouth shouting "Kill the rat. Killl. Kill!") Dante put the rat into an unbreakable cage that he couldn't get out of. It took them until they landed for Harry to calm down and explain to them what he was so mad about. They agreed that once Harry could take on his identity as a Lord they could prove Sirius's innocence to the ministry.
When they stepped out of the carriage they gasped at the magnigicent sight before them. It wasn't a castle. More like a palace made entirely of white marble, beautiful statues, a clear lake, emerald green grass, and cherry blossom trees. It literally looked like heaven. Jade bowed to him "Welcome home my Lord." Harry nodded absently. "Is this where I'm going to live." He asked her horsely. She smiled at him. "Yes my Lord do you approve." Harry just nodded still in a state of shock and Dante and Matthias weren't fairing any better. They were let by an escort of soldures in black uniforms (quite a contrast against the white castle) they entered the beautiful building and hardly heard the door close with a BOOM behind them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 weeks later Harry woke up in a large 4 poster bed to the sight of Jade sitting on a chair beside him. He'd warmed up immediatly to his assistant and even got her to call him Harry when it was only them, Dante ,and Matthias. "Hello Jade."He yawned. "Anything special planned today." She opened a book in which she kept all her notes. "Well once you've got your morning training, breakfast. Then there is a council meeting and they wish to meet with you. You have you studies in the Island history and proper protocall for a Lord of Haspinte. Then lunch and your normal classes, and more training." Harry groaned. Harry regretted ever desiding to have the Islanders teach him everything they know in combat. Although he needed every bit of training he could get to beat Voldermort, it would be nice to have a holiday. Well at least the Dursleys weren't here. His intellegance officers told him that Dumbledor had come to get him and was not very happy with the Dursleys when they told him Harry wan't there.
Dismissing Jade he stood up and got dressed in his normal day to day uniform which condidted of a black t-shirt, jogging pants, and noisless slippers. He had been up to alot while here and was learning more and more each day. He met Dante and Matthias in the kitchen after hard training and snuck a tart or two, then headed up to the dining hall. They were just about to eat breakfast when Jade interuppted. "My Lord. You Hogwarts letter has arrived with Hedgwig. What is your wish." Harry looked at her seeing a hopeful look on her face that he wouldn't go. He rubbed his chin with one hand.
"I think that I shall..."
