Chapter: 2. To Gringotts
Harry woke up the next morning and realized he had no way of getting to Diagon alley. He mentally cursed himself. He then decided he had best send a letter to Gringotts, explaining his situation. He had just gotten around to start writing it when he heard a large CRASH! from downstairs.
"BOY! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" he heard his uncle shout from downstairs. He started running downstairs when he heard a sound that was almost like a slapping noise.
" Don't you dare talk to him like that filthy Muggle!" he heard a voice scream at his uncle.
Harry stopped dead in his tracks. Who the hell was that downstairs, and who would slap Vernon? Harry crept slowly down the stairs, almost afraid to move. He finally came all the way down stairs to the filthy living room, which incidentally, was a wreck now, where he saw someone- Draco's mother!
"What the hell are you doing here?" Harry yelled, shocked. Draco's mother, Narcissa, prodded Draco.
"Well we decided to pick you up, since there was no way in hell Dumbledore was going to let you go to the reading. I told them not to bother though. You're not gonna get shit." Draco sneered at Harry.
"No need to be rude, I mean, he doesn't even know the truth about our family yet. You might make him think we're trying to kidnap him. But we can't talk about it here." Lucius extended his hand to Harry, who stared at it warily then shook it.
"We must be going, come now. Were going to use floo. We'll meet in Gringotts. Just throw the powder in the flame and say Gringotts Lobby." Narcissa said politely to Harry.
Harry eyed the floo powder that was extended to him warily, took a handful, and then threw it into the fire that Lucius just lit.
"GRINGOTTS LOBBBY!" Harry shouted and could feel the revolving sensation that just seemed to go faster and faster until he was thrown out of a fireplace.
Behind him, Draco came, Followed by Lucius than Narcissa. Harry's jaw dropped when he realized all of them came out of the fire gracefully, without any ash on them.
" Shocked Potter?" Draco asked with a slight sneer on his face.
" How the bloody hell did you all do THAT!" Harry asked them, trying to figure out how the hell it happened.
" Potter, I'm surprised you don't have your clothes charmed to have self-cleaning charms on them." Lucius said to Harry, clearly shocked.
" Why would I? " Harry asked, wonderingly.
" Potter, your filthy rich. Why wouldn't you? Don't you know anything about your family vaults, or had the bastard hidden that from you too?" Lucius said, clearly shocked.
" What do you mean by family vaults? All I know of is the small fortune in my Gringotts account.
Narcissa then spoke up and said " Harry, that's just a trust fund, which supplies itself with ten-thousand galleons per year from the potter family vault. In the Evans vault, which is massively smaller, lies about 3.5 million galleons. The potter vault holds...well, I'm not really sure how much right now, because it hasn't been calculated in over fifty years. The last time i knew though, there was 16.5 billion galleons in that vault. Harry, your rich enough to own the British wizarding world, with enough money to live off of for the rest of your life."
By the time she finished speaking, Harry was gaping like a fish. He though his jaw was going to drop to the floor. " How do you know all this? I mean, no offense, but isn't Gringotts supposed to have maximum secrecy?" Harry spoke, trying not to sound rude.
" Harry, theres something no one other than me and Lily knew. I'm your godmother, Harry. Your mother and I were very close friends, but only few knew it. Why do you think I made Lucius come here to pick you up?" Narcissa said, trying to keep her voice calm. She was just so over-over-over-joyed about seeing Harry again, and being able to drop the stupid act she had to have for years.
Harry stood there, not quite believing his ears. Before he could even question it though, she handed him an official document, stating that Narcissa was indeed his godmother, and it had his mother signature on it.
" Harry, I know its hard to believe, but here. Griphook!" A goblin came running over, while Harry was wondering why she called this particular goblin.
" What do you need miss? As most people recall, i handle the potter family vaults, and I'm very busy with the will processing of one Sirius Black." Griphook told her wearily.
" I called you over here for a specific reason, Griphook. As you can see I have Harry right here." At this, she jerked her head over toward Harry. " I was wondering if you could bring James and Lily's will to him? I do not believe he has read it, judging by the way he reacted toward finding out about the Potter and Evans Family Vaults." She resisted sneering at the goblin.
Griphook, looked thoroughly shaken at this, and said, " Didn't your financial advisor tell you about the vaults? You should have found out about them the moment you turned 11. It all should have been explained to you by your financial advisor."
Harry looked at Griphook and said quietly, " Get my parents will, and find out who my financial advisor is, and if you can, remove them." Harry had a look of rage in his eyes, and it was a scary sight to see.
" Right away sir." Griphook walked hurriedly through a door in the back, and was having Harry and the Malfoy's wait in the Lobby.
All of Gringotts was closed until after the will reading. Only those invited or related to Sirius could go to the will reading later that day.
" Lucius heard something outside, and looked quickly that way. he then apparated away quickly, which left Harry Confused.
" Why did he just apparate out?" Harry asked Narcissa. Before Narcissa spoke up, Draco did.
" It's because YOU have to clear his name once you can. You remember him getting caught at the Ministry of Magic? Well, he can't exactly walk around because he's supposed to still be in Azkaban." He said while sneering.
" What makes you so sure that I can clear his name?"
" Potter, look at it this way, the Ministry of Magic will do anything to get back in your good graces again. They screwed up big time, printed lies about you, and now they want your support. Fudge is a moron, and if you publicly say you support some of his decisions, and donate a load of gold to the auror department, I'm sure he'll release my father. We do not expect you to agree with all his decisions, but it will be helpful if he believes he can rely on you to help the government. Fudge is bigoted, and cares more about power then anything. If you give him suggestions in a public speech or speak to a daily prophet official, you can sway him and the public anyway you want. This will be helpful to you in the future. Media is a powerful weapon in wars." Draco said confidently.
" So are you saying you don't actually support the dark lord?"
Draco nodded his head in confirmation, opened his mouth to reply, but Griphook came out from the back with everything.
" Sir, I Have your parents will. in it, it says... it'll be easier for you to read it yourself." Griphook said, handing the statements over.
Dear Harry,
If your reading this, then we didn't get to see you grow up to be the fine young man that you almost positively are. Dumbledore may seem like he's doing everything for your own safety, but don't be fooled. He has gotten lost in the war, and doesn't care if he must make sacrifices to win. He doesn't realize his decisions effect other people. Whatever he does, I do not want him to send you to my sisters. All that will give you is a world of misery and sorrow, and we do not want that. If you cannot go live with your godfather, one Sirius Orion Black, then I wish for you to go with your godmother, Narcissa Black. No one except your financial advisor knows of this, and of course, Narcissa. If Dumbledore has not told you yet, there was a prophecy made about you and Voldemort. DO NOT LET IT RUN YOUR LIFE! Under no circumstances are you to die young, without having at least one child. I want you to get married, and have a life. You may find things in the Potter Family Vaults that will be helpful to aid you in killing Voldemort. He is not invincible, you'll figure something out. Give Narcissa a chance, It will do you some good. Make sure you cause hell at Hogwarts, kiddo. We will always be proud of You.
Love,
Mom and Dad
At the very bottom of the page, there was different Handwriting.
When Mr. Potter becomes a legal adult, he owns the family vaults, everything in them, all the properties and stocks that the family owns.

The stocks he owns are: Grunnings drills: 65, Daily Prophet: 35, Potter's Apothecary: 100, Potter's Magnificent Wands: 100
Total galleons in Potter vault: 15,650,225,021
Total galleons in Evans Vault: 3,500,291
In the Potter family vault, there is a large assortment of books, crystals, creature eggs, magical trunks, Muggle fighting weapons, and other miscellaneous objects.
By the time Harry had finished reading it, he was gaping like a fish. " This is going to be fun" he though to himself. Not only is he extremely rich, he owns over half of Grunnings drills.
" Also, You asked about your financial advisor. Your current financial advisor is one Albus Dumbledore, and you can have him removed by signing here." He pointed to the document, and handed him a pen.
Harry took the pen and eagerly signed it, but was still pissed. Dumbledore knew who his godmother was, and he was supposed to have Harry living with her. One thing was for sure, payback was going to be a bitch. Harry left for the will reading, in a slightly better mood.
