Heir Riddle,
Enclosed are the requested files as well as a list of properties, I felt you would like to look over. The familial lineage of Lilith Riddle nee Evans is under various charms as called for by Gringotts Policy. Simply say 'Revelare Sanguinem Familiae' and state your relation to the line and it shall appear.
One the subject of your bearer, she came to Gringotts on the basis that she had seen you in the Mundane part of London. I am unsure if this claim in untrue or not as her mind could possibly still be addled from all it had been subjected too. If she speaks truth, I may be able to arrange a meeting between yourself and her, with your sister of course.
Also, upon seeing all that had been placed upon you, I took it upon myself to assess the history of your previous vaults: The Potter Vaults.
It seems that just under 750,000 galleons have been taken under the duration of 13 years. It has been split between these vaults: A Private Vault under the ownership of Albus Dumbledore; A Private Vault under the ownership of Molly Weasley; A Business Vault set aside for a group called 'The Order of the Phoenix', under the guardianship of Albus Dumbledore. The paperwork to claim all of this has been filled but I require your written permission to reclaim it all as you are my client.
Please do so as Harry Potter, the Heir to the Noble and Ancient House of Potter. Magic may still recognize you as the Heir. If not, than I may be able to make you proxy of the vaults, to be able to gain the amount back.
If you request that I do anything else with this matter, I ask that you express such things, and I shall see if it is attainable.
The Goblin in charge of said vaults has been executed for his crimes and I have replaced him.
New keys for the Potter Vaults are undergoing assembly; you should receive them within the next few days. If you do not get them within a week, do send me a letter and I shall investigate the matter.
The requested letters have been sent to Lord Lucius Malfoy, Lady Narcissa Malfoy nee Black, Severus Snape, Poppy Pomfrey, Minerva Pomfrey nee McGonagall, Remus Lupin-Black, Sirius Lupin-Black, and Lady Contessa Zabini. All have received the letters and are coming in at the scheduled date.
The 24th of September is when you may come to the London Gringotts Establishment for a Memory Charm and Block Removal. The fee is 15 galleons for each ritual. The Goblin Specialist is coming from the Brazilian Gringotts Branch, arriving on the 22nd of September.
This is all.

Astaron stared at the letter, his mind running a mile in a second. Moving quicker than any wizard should be able too, he snatched up a piece of paper and began writing the authorization slip that Steeltooth needed for the Potter Vaults; he wrote one as Harry Potter and another as proxy for the Potter Vaults. Staring at the sloppy writing he threw away the parchment and grabbed a Muggle Pen, rewriting the slips with that. 'I might as well just use these for school. A lot easier than the quills...' Rubbing his forehead, Astaron turned back to the letter and reread, making sure he didn't miss anything.
Mentally making a list of things to ask, he began writing a response letter to Steeltooth. He bit the inside of his mouth as he wrote, groaning as his wrist began to ache. Pursing his lips, he began to write again, occasionally losing focus on things that weren't super important at the moment. Once the letter was done, he blew on it a little and held it delicately as he read over it.
Master Goblin Steeltooth,
I give you my thanks for missive and file, as well as what it contained.
About the Potter Vaults, I have written an authorization slip as both Heir and Proxy of the Potter Vaults. If they need to be edited in any way do let me know and it will be done.
I do, however, request that you take back the money slowly and discreetly. It would do me no good if they were to figure out that the money has been going back to my vaults; it would lead them to only a few reasonable and plausible conclusions which I have no doubt they would act upon. As well as that, do feel free to charge interest to them, but only to them, especially for Mrs. and Ms. Weasley. I do feel for the rest of the family, and they are not to be punished for wrongdoings they had no part of.
In what order did you send the letters? The most important ones are to be sent to Severus Snape, Poppy and Minerva Pomfrey, and Remus and Sirius Lupin-Black. Lord and Lady Malfoy I suppose are of some importance to me but not as much as the others. Especially considering that 3 of them work at the school I attend, and one worked here in the previous year.
As for my mother, yes what she said is true… I did see her in Muggle London. You say that her mind could still be addled, may I inquire as to what may have addled it? If you could schedule a meeting between us that would be most welcome. Preferably before the 25th of October at night if you could.
My sister and I shall arrive at Gringotts at the appointed date. Would it be too much trouble to ask if we could come at night? More around 2000 if that is feasible.
Once more, I thank you for your help.

Astaron Riddle
Heir to the Ancient and Noble Houses of Peverell and Slytherin
Nodding in satisfaction, Astaron rolled the parchment with great care before whistling for Hedwig. The majestic snowy owl landed before him, her amber eyes glittering with intelligence far greater than what an owl should know. "Hello girl. Did you have fun hunting yesterday?" Hedwig gave a soft trill, her head bobbing twice before she nuzzled his head.
Laughing, he stroked her feathers, kissing the top of her head tenderly. "I love you too girl. You'll always be my first friend…" Tying the letter to her leg, he whispered lowly, "Take that to Gringotts, more specifically Steeltooth. Don't wait for him to send a letter back; you might be waiting a long while if you do." She hooted before flying off, gliding beautifully in the night sky.
Sighing tiredly, he opened the file that was sent, blinking rapidly at the bluey colors surrounding one of the rolls. Touching it briefly he stared at it tingled slightly; A soft whispery voice chanted something (he didn't know what) as his fingers grazed the colors. Shaking his head he unfurled the parchment and spoke. "Revelare Sanguinem Familiae."
Wording began to appear on the parchment, a family tree building before his eyes. Astaron stared at the two names at the top of the page, where it was first recorded.
Amos Gryffindor – Crystal Normandy
3 kids, and he traced the path from youngest to oldest, noting that they were a family that didn't mind marrying half-bloods or muggleborns, at least some of them. He noticed that as the ones that started marrying into the Malfoy Family Lines, Black Family Lines, Selwyn Family Lines, Lestrange Family Lines, Macmillan Family Lines, and so forth, started to marry within the family and the lines slowly began to deteriorate.
Finally he saw that a squib, Lorraine Macmillan, Daughter of Delos and Eveline Macmillan (nee O'Meara), grandmother of Willow Evans (nee McCaffrey) who was the mother of Lilith Jasmine Evans.
He hummed slightly and scribbled his notes on a spare piece of parchment. So as the lines began to die out Lorraine was the only one with Gryffindor blood, even though she was a squib. Her mother being the last of 3 O'Meara's, the 2nd oldest, was where that blood line came. And 3 generations later, the magic came back full force in the blood of Lilith Evans.
Astaron gave satisfied nod before rolling up the parchment and putting it aside. Opening the file once more, he saw the properties of the Peverell Family, Slytherin Family, Potter Family, Gryffindor Family, and O'Meara Family. Underneath each property was what it came with; House-Elves, Outhouses, Acreage, Rooms, Wards, Construction Dates, Renovation Dates, etc. He mentally noted that there were dates that specified when they were last in use and also when somebody last stepped foot onto the property.
Rubbing his eyes tiredly, Astaron set down the pen and set the papers to the side. Closing his eyes, he leaned back in his chair.
He just needed a to rest his eyes for one second…
-Line Break-
Albus Dumbledore was a man thought to be great; The Leader of the Light; The Defeater of Grindelwald; The Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards; Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot; Headmaster of Hogwarts; He is the most powerful wizard in the entirety of the Wizarding World!
Or at least he was.
Tom Marvolo Riddle was the cause of everything. Albus knew he was a problem when he first laid his eyes on him. An 11-year-old boy who had far too much control over his magic. A descendant of Salazar Slytherin no less! Always knew too much, was far too charming and had the entire school buying his image. Except Albus of course. No he was far to great to even think of buying the façade Tom put up.
Then he found out about Tom making horcruxes. Oh yes that was all he needed. He would make sure the entirety of the school found about Tom. Except when the Chamber opened, the blame was pinned on Hagrid and his stupid Acromantula. Aragog. Idiot oaf. But he made a good pawn, always right in his pocket when he needed him.
After that, he just couldn't get Tom in a place where he could prove his real self to the world. Well at least not without doing something that could incriminate himself in the process. Oh no, that just would not do.
So Tom managed to graduate Hogwarts and went out into the world. And soon began rising as a Dark Lord. Only he was saner than all the others; he was attempting to intertwine creatures and wizards, bring back forgotten branches of magic, show that Dark Magic could be used for good! That couldn't be done, not if Albus could do anything about it. And he most surely did.
He denied Tom his job request for the teaching post for Defense Against The Dark Arts. Surely he was just there collecting students he could use as minions for when he tried to take over.
Slowly but surely everything was going well until something happened. Albus was never sure, but Voldemort began getting too much power, his Horcruxes having torn his mind apart. The British Wizards were going to cease to exist at the rate that it was going at.
Then something just flipped, almost like it was overnight, and Tom began pulling back. Albus was suspicious about it, but overjoyed. Voldemort was losing power! Now all he had to do was kill him in a public setting and then he would be unstoppable! The horcruxes would be found, kept from the public of course, and all would be right once more! Yes, Albus was very pleased.
And then, he got word from his spy that Voldemort had kids and a wife. And was gaining back all his sanity.
No No No No No No NO! That couldn't happen! It wouldn't work with everything he had set up! No No No No NO!
Albus threw everything aside and began his long search for who had married Voldemort and who his kids were.
Once he did find them, he began to plan and change everything. He forged the necessary documents and did everything he could to make sure that his plan was fool proof.
But once it had to be put to action, things just started going wrong. But he could make it work. Yes, he always did.
So he placed long-term glamours on the children, rid the mother of everything that made her a witch, and the father was a wraith. Nothing more needed. The children's twin bond was blocked, and most likely dissolving from being shoved back for so long.
His son though, was powerful, more powerful than the father, mother and sister, leaving Albus with no choice but to trap and band it, knowing full well that if left on long enough, his magical core will begin to deteriorate. And after he killed his father, he would no longer be needed and really just driven insane from trauma. Honestly, Albus didn't care as long as it didn't interfere with his plans for the Wizarding World.
But of course, who would suspect him of doing anything.
He was Albus Dumbledore of course! The Greatest Wizard since Merlin and the world would flourish under his command.
And nobody could say otherwise.
-Line Break-
A/N - Did you really think I would put what HE did to them? I'm not that much of a killjoy. Oh no, that will be revealed later. Much later.
Anyways, next chapter is the DADA chapter and some shit like that. Also, Little Moon will be introduced within the next few chapters. As well as out little Green Thumb Gryffindor.
