Harrison's POV
The trip out of the castle only took a few short moments. He knew other ways out that would have taken less time but chose not to reveal his hand. They side along apparated to Diagon Alley.
No matter what time it was the Alley never seemed to change. It was familiar even in the most unfamiliar of times. Around them Harry could see the scars of battle. Times had not been kind to the alley.
Down a little side alley by Gringotts was an Olde road. Few knew the power of such things. Thankfully he learned about the Olde Roads and Ley Lines from Gordric. The Founder had been a wealth of information. So had Rowena though they weren't as close.
It was when he learned Light Wizard views weren't right. They didn't believe in following the Olde Ways. Ways he should be learning as a young child he had to play catch up on. Same with Severus.
They learned that the Dark Wizards were in the right. Magic should be cherished as a whole. Not looked down upon because it was Dark or Light.
True evil was the Darkness itself. It went against the laws of nature and magic. Dark magic did not fall under this tree.
As they entered Gringotts he recognized several goblins on guard. Discretely they gave him sharp nods with their weapon arms crossed over their chests. It was the sign of brothers in arms. Even if their brother was a wizard boy.
Both he and Severus returned the gesture. This recieved strange looks from both Merriman and the younger goblins. Their teller however knew him almost immediately. He too responded with a sharp nod with his weapon arm crossed over his chest.
Once more he and Severus returned the greeting before saying, "Master Teller, I am here to get an inheritance test done. Could I be taken to Chief Ragnorak?"
The teller grunted, "Right away then Snarlfang!"
One of the guards appeared his eyes taking in their appearance. The teller ordered, "Take these wizards to Chief Ragnorak."
Snarlfang grunted at them, "Follow me, wizards."
Harrisom did as he was bid immediately. Not to do so would have been an insult to the goblins. Merriman followed behind him his grey eyes never leaving Harrison's back.
Snarlfang knocked sharply on an intrict door. It was a little farther in than he remembered. The door was befitting his station.
A sharp order came from inside, "Enter."
When they entered the goblin didn't look up at first. Snarlfang went straight to the goblin's desk. Harrison waited halfway to the desk and the door. Whatever the younger goblin had said caused Ragnorak to look up sharply.
Harrison greeted him a sharp nod with his arm crossed over his chest. When his arm was crossed over his chest he bowed low showing respect for the goblin's high station. Severus repeated the gesture leaving Merriman dumbfounded by their actions.
Ragnorak greeted with a toothy grin, "Evans! It has been many years since your graced these halls with your presence. It is good to see you and your brother in arms alive and well. Come tell me what brings you here. It has been what two since your last visit?"
Harrison's mask broke at the familiar greeting. A grin broke out over his face as he straightened.
He replied, "It has been too long brother Ragnorak. Two and a half if memory serves."
Goblins were curious beings. Time magic did not effect their memories at all. Even if he went back to when Ragnorak was just a child he would know Harrison. As long as they had met at some point there was no changing their memories.
They were speaking in halves with current company. Merriman was not someone he trusted. He didn't want the man knowing that he stepped through time.
Severus returned the greeting quietly, "It is good to be back in a somewhat civilized period."
Merriman interrupted before it could proceed any further, "We are here for an inheritance test, Chief Ragnorak. I will pay for the test out of my vault."
The goblin narrowed his eyes at the man appraisingly. Then his attention return to the boy's in front of him, "Come forward, Evans. Let's see what your inheritance says about you. Though I suspect that it will tell you what we have been trying to all along."
Harrison did as he was bid. He didn't hesitate to slit the palm of his hand when a silver knife was held out to him. As customary he allowed three drops of his blood to flow onto the parchment laid out.
What came next was shocking for the two boys. The wizard and the goblin had come to suspect what was now confirmed.

Harrison couldn't believe what he was reading. He was a Potter?! Not to mention that he was their third son! How was this possible?
The entire room began to shake with the force of his magic and anger. Both Ragnorak and Merriman had to grab the desk just to remain where they were.
Severus could only stare at the parchment. He suspected they might not like the result. Though he never suspected this. It didn't change that Harrison was his brother in all but blood.
There were only a few times in the three years they had been gone that he felt the full force of the other's magic. No matter how many times he felt it he could not get used to the feeling. Very few wizards as adults has this much or this powerful of magic. Harrison had not even reached his majority yet.
