While Harry is with the founders
Griphook stared as Harry's body lifted from the chair still encased in the glow. He watched as changes came over him. Harry's wild black hair grew until it touched his ankles, dark auburn streaks, the color of melted amethysts, appeared. His skin with its olive coloring became a golden tan color. His clothes turned to ashes under the onslaught of power, showing the scars not created do to ritual or spell that littered his body slowly fading to nothing. His body grew from 5'4" to a height of 6'3", filling out with defined muscles until he was still slender but strong looking with a chiseled musculature. Before his eyes closed Griphook watched as the glasses disappeared and they went from a dull grass colored green to liquid emerald color. His mouth open in a silent scream, his eye teeth grew and sharpened to a razor point. His ears elongated into a point and his finger nails became glassy and looked manicured. The glow pulsed to the table where a wicker basket and an obsidian egg appeared from it. Another pulse and a carved staff appeared off glossy white with the carvings looking black against it. On the top of the staff was a jewel held in a clawed hand, the jewel caused Griphook to stop breathing. It was a shimmering silver ball that looked like flowing water. The goblin recognized it as a gem called the Unicorn's Heart as it was the same liquid silver color of unicorn's blood.
A shimmer by the bed caused Griphook to look and promptly fall of his chair. On the head board was perched a phoenix. Unlike Dumbledore's phoenix, this was almost twice his size with golden eyes.
"A Royal Phoenix." Griphook breathed out the words as he slowly got back to his feet. A royal phoenix was said to be the king of phoenixes. When they chose to bond to a blood line or a person, it was because of the purity of the line or person. They could travel through a swirl of flames, their tears could heal someone from the edge of death or induced insanity, they could easily carry thousands of pounds of weight and it was said that a royal phoenix's death cry could explode the sun.
The goblin was in awe as four more folders appeared on the table bearing the founders individual crests. The glow slowly faded, leaving the new Harry sitting naked in the chair opening his eyes and smirking.
"Well Lord Potter-Black, you are certainly full of surprises today. Though you might want to put on some new clothes since yours seemed to not have survived the change." Griphook smirked as Harry scrambled to pull on new clothes before noticing that none of his clothes were long enough. Forgoing a shirt, all Harry pulled on where a pair of now short pants that hit him mid calf.
"Alright we are going to do a few things now Griphook. First, you are going to become manager of all my account, with however many goblins you need underneath you. This is because you are the only goblin I actually know and something tells me to trust you. Next I need a way to access my accounts without having to constantly go to the bank as I have a lot of shopping to do now. Then I want you to go back to the bank, take it from the main Potter Vault and transfer 20 million galleons into the Weasley Family vault." Flipping open the Potter and Black folders Harry quickly scanned through the entire thing committing it to memory. "As I seem to own a controlling interest in Zonko's as well as well as a third in WWW. I want you to transfer 6 million into the WWW vault and transfer my Zonko's control to Fred and George Weasley. With the letter informing them of the ownership include a message from me telling them that I trust them to know what to do with it. Better yet, I want you to personally deliver it. I want you to open a vault with 2 million for Ronald Weasley, and give him my ownership of the Chuddly Cannons. Another vault with 2 million is to be opened for Virginia Weasley. As I saw my parents have a vault for Remus Lupin, I want to add one million to that and open a vault under his control with 10 million in it for Moony's Wolfsbane Fund. Do whatever is needed to make this a valid charity for those werewolves that want the potion but don't have the money for it every month. Find a potion master or three to make it and take all costs from that vault. Also transfer the deed for the Penthouse in downtown London and the cottage in the Scottish Highlands to Remus Lupin. I want to make sure that he never lacks for money or a place to live again. When you visit the Weasleys make it clear to them that this is not charity, I am only making sure that all my family is taken care of.
"Send a team of curse breakers to 12 Grimmuald Place and tear down the current Fidelus Charm, make sure that only I as Lord Black can put it back up. I will also need a complete set of muggle identification that muggles won't look too close at." Griphook was furiously writing down everything he was saying. Flipping the Potter folder back open to the deeds Harry reread one page. "I also see that I own a castle in Wales which seems to be one of the traditional homes for the Potter Family complete with ancient blood wards. Ah there are also resident and living House elves, excellent."
Focusing on the Potter ring Harry threw his magic out. "As Lord Potter I summon the first among my house elves for Potter Castle."
With a pop, a regal looking house elf stood, dressed in a clean tunic bearing the Potter Family crest.
"How can Lawly be helping the new Lord Potter?" With a bow to Harry she looked him in the eye.
"Lawly, I need to know if the castle is ready for habitation."
"Yes Lord Potter sir, we have kept it ready for when the Lord was to return. We had a visitor two years ago that left a gift for our Lord when he received his rightful rank." With a snap a miniature racing motorcycle appeared in Lawly's hand. It was black and red and Harry could feel the magic coming off of it.
"Sirius you sly old mutt." Harry smiled for the first time as he thought of his godfather leaving the bike at his family castle to hide it from him. A full black helmet appeared on the table, with a white grim, wolf, stag and lily painted on it.
"Master Sirius said that if he could not give it to you to tell you that the bike is enchanted so that it never looses fuel, optional notice-me-not charms and invisibility. The helmet will allow young Lord to see in all weather, and in the dark. It also can help young Lord should he be lost by saying where he wants to go. Lawly will go tell other elves that young Lord if finally coming home?"
"Yes Lawly, you can tell them and if you can take Hedwig with you since she won't be able to find the castle otherwise. Also prepare for a large number of guests for an indefinite stay." Lawly bowed again and Hedwig went to her arm. With a pop she was gone.
"I have what you requested Lord Potter-Black." Griphook handed Harry a leather wallet. "Inside is a muggle style credit card that is connected directly to your primary Potter Vault. It works in both the muggle and magical world. Also there is a muggle identification that will change to be whatever type of license it needs to be with a charm to match whatever your appearance and name you are using. It also is charmed to cause the muggle to not look at it closely so you need not worry about that. If there is nothing else then I need to get back to the bank to finish everything you wanted by this evening."
Harry nodded and the goblin and files disappeared. With a wave of his hand the chairs followed. Harry moved to the basket and opened it. Inside was a tan colored griffin that looked up at him.
Welcome guardian, I'm Harry.
Hello Harry, my name is Faust.
Well Faust I'm going to call my house elf to take you to my castle so you can get used to where we will be living if that is alright?
That is fine Harry; I can stretch and be my full size there.
"Lawly." Harry called out after getting Faust's permission to send him. He waved his hand causing the basket to disappear.
"Young Lord called his Lawly?" Lawly appeared before him bowing.
"Can you take Faust to the castle as well as the basilisk egg? From the feel it won't hatch until the full moon in a week or so." Lawly bowed again and disappeared with the egg and Faust. Turning to his bed he met the gaze from his phoenix.
Hello Lord Potter, I am called Dawn. The phoenix trilled at him, nodding her head.
Hello Dawn, please call me Harry. I have to do a few things before I open the veil, hopefully finding my familiar so I have them to help. Will you appear if I call you?
Of course Harry. With that Dawn disappeared in a swirl of shadows.
Looking at his clothes Harry threw all of them into a pile on the bed. He snapped his fingers and summoned a new outfit to wear when he left. A pair a black leather pants appeared, with a blood red tank top and knee high boots. Pulling on the clothes that were skin tight followed by the boots, He waved his hands, sending the bike to the garage and resizing it. He shrank his trunk and slipped the wallet into the pocket of the pants. With a silent charm his hair braided itself, and he moved to the mirror. Concentrating on his image, his ears went back to normal followed by his teeth. He decided to leave the scar visible until he got to Diagon Ally. He wanted Dumbledore's watchers to recognize him when he left. He conjured a waist length leather jacket and slipped the matchbook sized trunk into an inner pocket. Looking at his staff he thought of it being wand size. To his surprise it shrank down to a twelve inch wand with a silver tip. Smirking he conjured a wand holster and slipped it in and strapped it to his forearm. Banishing the table he headed to his door.
