Harry woke up the next morning with the tap of an owl at his window. He realised the owl as one of the numerous owl that was used by the school, Hogwarts. He opened the window and let the owl in. The letter that it bore was similar to all the ones that he had received before including the one he had received less than a month ago telling him that he had to remain at his relatives and that he couldn't receive any letters from his friends. The letter was from Dumbledore e probably telling him how he was so safe at his relatives and how he needed Dumbledore's help. He broke open the letter and read its contents.
Dear Harry,
How are you my boy! It has been awhile since I've seen a person with such a temperament as the one that you displayed in my office.
Harry gritted his teeth at that. How could he make such a joke about how Harry displayed his emotions because of his godfathers death and why did he have to call him "my boy"
I understand that you wish to go to the reading of your late-Godfather's will, but I think that it would be unwise for you to leave your relatives house any time this summer.
Harry laughed at how; the old man doesn't even know that I left this house for almost all of yesterday.
But don't worry you won't miss anything. I will be there and make sure that anything that is left for you is put into your vault. I assume that because of Sirius' will you will probably be in control of Number Twelve Grimmauld Place. I wish that you would leave it in our possession as you are still attending Hogwarts, you need to stay at your relatives to have the blood protection and we need the house to serve as our HQ. It is what Sirius would've wanted for the house.
Harry snorted at the letter. Dumbledore was a fool he could tell the hidden points that was written in the letter. Wait a minute how the hell would I know about hidden messages in a letter. I guess being a Djinni have their benefits. I seem so much more aware of political things; I just hope it doesn't change me too much. Dumbledore thought that he could guilt Harry into lending Dumbledore the house by saying that it was Sirius' wish. If Sirius had really wanted for the Order to have the house he would have left them the house. How would Dumbledore know a part of the will before it was even revealed? Maybe he has a spy in Gringotts? I have to tell Ironaxe of it tomorrow. Harry scanned the letter a few more times in case he missed anything else. He noticed that Dumbledore didn't seem mad that Harry had trashed his office last July. He also noticed the threat that spoke of how at school he was completely under Dumbledore's control. Harry getting frustrated at how Dumbledore, a man he thought he could trust was manipulating him at the present time made him so furious and all of a sudden the letter that he got burst into flame.
Harry froze all of a sudden; he waited standing completely still for what seemed like forever. He didn't hear the flapping of wings, which meant that the Ministry of Magic hadn't caught him for using under-age magic. It took him all of about thirty seconds before he realised that because of the law that he was now legally an adult. It took Harry about another thirty seconds before he realised that he had performed wand-less magic. Something that was fluttering caught his attention. He walked over and read it was his owls.

Harry gazed at his OWL score; it amazed him that he had done so well in potions he was sure that he would have received an acceptable at best. He had done pretty good better than he expected. He thought that he would have got a score of ten at best. He couldn't wait to see how his best friends Ron and Hermoine did. Glancing at the clock he saw that he only had a little over two hours before Sirius' will was being read. He knew that Dumbledore waned for him to not go to the reading. Harry knew that since his transformation he looked nothing like he did before. So he could go to the meeting if he was disguised as someone else. He got dressed with a grin and walked out of his relatives house grabbed his uncle's car keys got in the car and drove off ignoring his relative's outrage.
Harry drove straight to the Leaky Cauldron as fast as he could while staying in the speed limit of the law. He soon arrived at his desired destination walked straight to Diagon Alley and soon arrived at Gringotts with plenty of time to spare. He immediately sought out one of the only goblins that he was familiar with. "Griphook can you help me, I wish to speak with the President." At once the entire bank went silent for it never happened before where a wizard would order a goblin around like that.
At first Griphook scrutinized the person that had just commanding him, but when he saw the ring that his father, Ironaxe told him of, he answered, "Of course you can my Lord. It is such a pleasure to have you here." He then beckoned for Harry to follow him through an entrance that just appeared. As they walked to Ironaxe's office Harry had many questions for Griphook about numerous magical creature culture, daily life, and traditions. They soon reached Ironaxe's office and Griphook departed promising that he would soon teach Harry in cultures of other magical creatures. Harry entered the office and sat down to tell Ironaxe his plan.
"Ironaxe I have a great idea. Since I've become a Djinni, my appearance has gone through a dramatic change so that there is almost no way that anyone would know who I am. Dumbledore will be there at the reading of my will for he thinks he is my legal guardian. I assume that usually you wouldn't let him in for he has no part in this, but I ask that you let him in and let me be there for the reading disguised as someone else. I also am tended to believe that he has a spy in your business for he seemed to know what I would receive in the will." Harry finished off his idea in not exactly the way he wanted.
"So you're saying that I have a spy in my midst. That would mean that it is a goblin for I don't employ any humans except for Bill Weasley who has no way of knowing that for he works only in the vaults underground. Do you have any proof?" Harry restated the letter world for word and even told the head goblin of the hidden messages he had seen. "Normally when a human tells me that one of my own goblins is a spy I would throw him out for even saying that but I trust you and I must thank your Lord Potter for showing for it could cause us a great deal of trouble in the future."
"Please Ironaxe call me Harry, I think that friends should call each other by their first names." Harry offered his hand to Ironaxe who shook it. Harry and Ironaxe could tell that they had both made powerful allies with each other.
An hour later the reading of will for the late Sirius Orion Black was about to begin in one of the numerous conference rooms in Gringotts Bank. Everyone who was sent letters concerning this meeting was in attendance except for one Harry Potter who in his place was Albus Dumbledore. There were numerous people there including Narcissa and Draco Malfoy, the Weasley family, Nymphadora Tonks and Remus Lupin. Harry who was disguised as the Head of Inheritance started the meeting for time.
"Ladies and Gentleman may I have your attention please. We are here for the reading of Sirius Orion Black's will. I must all ask that you remain silent while the will is being read." Harry opened one of the cabinets on the wall and withdrew a globe that swirled with black colours before Sirius' head appeared inside and began to recite his will.
"I, Sirius Orion Black, being of sound mind and body, do hereby declare this my last will and testament. First I leave no money to neither of my family: Bellatrix Lestrange, Narcissa Malfoy or her whelp Draco. For I know that they are Death Eaters and they serve that hypocrite Voldemort"
As Sirius finished reciting the first part of his will the goblins roughly escorted Draco who face had gone redder than Harry had ever seen. Red than Uncle Vernon actually wow he does look like a little whelp, haha nice call Sirius. While his mother left the meeting still trying to keep some of her dignity even after being accused of a death eater. She still had furious look on her face. She probably thought that they would be receiving a healthy sum.
"Secondly, to my best friend, and the last of the Marauders, Remus Lupin, I leave a sum of one hundred thousand gold galleons, as well as a request. Take care of my godson, Moony. Support him in any way you can, and see to it that he is never left wanting for guidance and affection. Knowing my rash nature as I do, I'm quite sure that I didn't survive to see the final downfall of Voldemort. Make sure that Harry does, I beg of you."
Harry heard a choked sob from a far corner of the room, and turned to see Remus Lupin sitting there, just as he had thought. Surprisingly, most of the unsavory characters in the room didn't say a word, and those who would have were sufficiently cowed by Harry's earlier display with Malfoy that they held their tongues.
"To my favorite cousin, Andromeda, and her family, I leave a sum of three hundred thousand gold galleons. Andy, I just want you to know that I've always respected you for standing up to the family and following your heart. Nymphadora, sorry about the name, but let me say this to you: you're a great auror, but don't throw yourself completely into this war. Fall in love, get married, and enjoy life while it lasts. It could end at any moment, as I'm sure you can tell by looking at the circumstances of my own demise, whatever they may be. Oh, and I want you to have that umbrella stand from the house. You know the one."
Harry looked around for Tonks or her family but the only person who he didn't notice was a tall pale punk who had a large scowl upon her face. Harry deduced that this must Tonks under a disguise.
"Next to the Weasley Family I know that you are stubborn about receiving charity but too bad, to the family in general I leave a hundred thousand gold galleons. To Fred and George the disciples of the marauders, I leave ownership and 50 of the shares of the joke shop, Zoncos in Hogsmead. May your pranks bring laughter and joy forever. To Ronald Weasley I leave the store Quiddich store, Quality Quiddich Supplies for I knew how you like Quiddich. All I ask is that remain a true friend to Harry for I know that in the future he will need good friends like you."
Harry smiled remembering all the times that he had tried to help the Weasley's out financially and each time the money had been sent back with a firm note that always said 'thank you but no thank you.' Harry was just glad that the Weasley's were forced to take the money.
"To the bright and lovely Hermoine Granger I leave to you the entire black library that is one the most extensive libraries know to a pureblood family. I hope that you learn all you need to help for Voldemort is still out there and waiting. I must also ask you like I did Ron continue to be Harry's friend. I know that at some times it can be a challenge but I think it is best for all."
Harry still in his disguise as the Head of Inheritance shook his head. It was like Sirius to make sure that Harry's friends looked out for him. He realized that everyone who was in the room at the beginning of the will being read had left. The only people that remained were Dumbledore himself and the goblin, Griphook.
"Before we continue Dumbledore" Harry said much to Dumbledore's fury at being so inappropriately addressed, "I'm sorry but you must leave you can't hear the rest of this for you aren't Lord Potter's guardian you must immediately leave."
Dumbledore looked around with a frantic look to his face. "I then must demand to see Harry it is the best for him it…"
He was rudely interrupted when the mysterious dark skinned man held up a hand, "Must I repeat myself, he wishes for all to address himself as Lord Potter. You are showing disgrace to him and his whole line when you call him Harry."
"But. I must speak to him it is important" Dumbledore stated trying to muster whatever dignity he could. "It is for the well being of not only him but the entire wizarding world. I must see Harry.
Harry gave the security goblin a look that meant to get Dumbledore out of here and Dumbledore was being escorted out of the room Harry paused and subtly stretched in such a way that Dumbledore would certainly see the Potter family ring.
"Your Harry? You've changed my boy; look I need to talk to you about the blood wards and you staying at your relatives." Dumbledore asked Harry in a way that seemed like more of a demand than a question.
"There is no way that I will l let you meddle in my life anymore. You made me live with the Dursleys for that I will always hate you! Get him out of here Grindkey please." Harry raged.
The goblin escorted Dumbledore from the will reading room, leaving Harry all alone with the orb that spoke Sirius' will.
Hey Cub, how its going? Look I want to tell you that no matter whatever you think you did , me dieing is not your fault! I hope that I died the noble way I wanted to go in a fight and not die from slipping in the shower and cracking my head open. Normally a will doesn't have it so that only one person hears the end but I did it for a special reason. Dumbledore is a meddling old man who has kept unreasonable secrets from you your entire life. The first one is that there was a prophecy made about you that basically says that you have to kill Voldemort. If you've already done it then congrats and if you haven't well have fun and kick Malfoy's ass. He is a bloody insult to the black family and a little whiney bitch that hides behind his family name.
Harry couldn't but laugh at how blunt Sirius was about the purebloods Harry's age.
Ohh… And Harry I am leaving you everything that I own that wasn't already given to the others. I also appoint you as the sole heir to the Black Family. I must ask that you style yourself to be a Black. I must warn you when you go through becoming the 'Head of the Black House' you may change a bit. Now that is nothing to be worried about for it may only do something like change the colour of your eyes. Nothing more than that. I must tell you in my life I have met many extraordinary wizards including your father, but you have got to be the greatest. I want you to look for a book in the black family vault it should have a title called the Black Family History Book. Once you open it there should be blank pages and say that you are the an heir to the family and the book should teach you most of what you need to know. Go Harry and Have fun.
Harry did all he could to keep from crying, but he couldn't. H just cried for the first time since he yelled at Dumbledore in his office. He let all of his emotions out in a torrent of tears. He didn't know how long he had cried but finally when he finished he saw that Ironaxe, his new friend/ally stood there watching him.
"I am sorry to see your pain friend, but you wished to visit your vault today. If you would like to visit it later it is okay." Ironaxe asked in a cautious voice.
"No. No Ironaxe I would like to visit my vaults today. It's just that to me Sirius was like an uncle, father and older brother all in one. I just wish that I had more time to spend with him." Harry answered in a painful voice.
An hour later after Harry had gone through the formalities that made him the lord of the Black family and then proceeded down to the first stop the Potter Family Vault. This vault didn't seem so different from all the others he had seen. Harry handed the vault key to Ironaxe who muttered a few words in goblin then opened the door to vault. When Harry had thought that his vault for school was large it was tiny in comparison. The walls were covered in tapestries that depicted battles as well as the Potter Crests that bore a lion and a phoenix. Just through the door there was a book that caught Harry's interest. He summoned it over with a wave of his hand.
"Ironaxe What is this thing for?" Harry inquired with a look of curiosity that has gotten him in trouble many times before.
"That Harry is 'Guide Book' its purpose is if you want something all you have to do is say what you're looking for and this book will magically transport you there. It is very helpful in finding magical items that are invisible. The items you wish to see will pulse a combination of white, red and gold."
Harry then spent a large amount of time just searching through his family account admiring the treasures that that his family had acquired. He finally came out bearing a stack of magical textbooks on about every subject that he could find from self- metamorphous training to the steps to make potions that are illegal in Europe because of the fact they're so powerful. Harry also found at the back of the vault a cloak that's abilities were unknown but had been worn by many of Harry's ancestors. He placed it upon his shoulders and it automatically fit to his newly acquired broad shoulders. All of a sudden the cloak shifted its colour from the deep blood red to an uncanny shade of black. This black was so dark that it seemed to suck the light out of the room. Then on the back there appeared a phoenix in flight with a snake in its claws and a grim howling to the moon. From behind Harry there was a loud cough and all of a sudden Harry felt himself lift a pair o long curved daggers from their sheathes on his thighs as he spun.
"Lord Potter where did you get that outfit?" Ironhook asked his face showing his obvious curiosity, "I only left a few moments ago to confer with one of my goblin secretaries and when I returned I see that you are wielding a pair of magnificent Dao (AN: long daggers) and dressed completely different than before."
"What do you mean by that I've been wearing something completely different from what I was only moments ago?"
The goblin conjured a full-length mirror and for the second time in two days, Harry gasped at his reflection. Before he had been wearing a set of business robes that he borrowed from the goblins. He was now wearing a set of black leather pants and a muscle shirt with his wonderful cloak. Harry sheathed his Daos in a belt that felt like it was made out of snakeskin and admired his new clothes in the mirror. Damn I love these clothes and I've got to get some more like this, no more of the fat kid's clothes. Harry spun around and exited his vault. He had acquired all that he needed from his family vault and he knew that there would probably be a few magical items or trinkets that would suit him. Whoa this is weird I'm showing no emotion at the fact that I'm going through a vault that has been in my family for generations and I didn't even look for a memento about my parents. Harry shrugged it off and proceeded to his newly acquired vault, the vault of the most Noble and Powerful Blacks.
Hundreds of miles away from where Harry was in Gringotts, Albus Dumbledore stood pacing his office. He still couldn't get over what had happened to him. How the hell is it that Harry got a letter from Gringotts? I tightened the wards around his house years ago so that the only mail that I approved could get in. I better go and check on the wards. He then walked over to a secret room in Hogwarts that only he, the ghosts and a few portraits knew about. It was the room that he used to regulate how the blood wards around Harry's house had been doing. To his amazement there was a problem with the blood wards. It showed that Harry had received multiple letters from Gringotts and had even portkeyed out of his house to the bank only two days ago. He had also done magic multiple times in the past two days and the Ministry had never noticed it for they hadn't sent one of their ministry owls. Dumbledore had then spent the next two hours trying to fix the blood wards and find out why it had happened. After much delving he had figured it out it was a combination of Harry leaving his relatives' house in the third year and the resurrection of Voldemort due to a dark spell he used in Harry's fourth year.
I can't believe that I never noticed that the blood wards are failing! What has kept me from checking on them I used to check on them almost every month? Dumbledore then realized that with the escape of Sirius Black from Azkaban and the return of Voldemort he had failed to check it so often. Dumbledore then spent the next few hours trying to think of a way to regain Harry under his control
Harry finally finished visiting the Black Family Vault. Hw had removed many things including a few sets of different blades including ones made of silver, bronze and stainless steel. He had also found well over twenty books that varied from the basics on purebloods to how to dueling with magic and weapons and the most important thing he had found on the advice of his godfather was the book on 'the Black Family History' that supposedly was able to teach him most things he needed to know to defend himself.
He then asked Ironaxe that had been on his mind for a while after he read the will. "Ironaxe can you take me to the most remote house that I own?"
"Of course Harry. The most remote one would have to be the jointly owned house on an island near the Bermuda Triangle that was named the 'Marauders Hideout' I can take you there now if you wish?" Ironaxe replied with a smile growing upon his face.
Ironaxe waved his hand in the air in an intricate manner and he soon he was holding a pendant sized portkey that Harry had only used two days ago to meet with Ironaxe for the first time. "Here Harry, take this and it will take us to the Marauder's Hideout."
Umm. Ironaxe why do you need to come with me? Its now like you are going to stay with me there?" Harry said feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Of course no but I would like to be the one to give you the first tour of this house." Ironaxe said sounding like he was merely talking to a colleague.
"That's great Ironaxe but first I would like to go and do a little bit of shopping I have a list of a few things I need that may help me in theses new changes in my life."
"Of course Harry feel free to tell me when you wish to go and see around then."
With a wave of goodbye Harry left the president's office of Gringotts and set off to buy a few much-needed items that he had been dieing to get for years.
