It felt good to wake up in my own bed. I rolled over and opened my eyes and saw Imhotep. I screamed and fell out of bed.
"What the hell?" I asked
He just smirked. There was a knock on the door.
"What's wrong?" Dad asked
"I saw a spider," I said
"Okay, well get dressed then come down to breakfast," Dad said
"Okay," I said
I heard him walk away. I looked back at Imhotep.
"So not funny. What are you doing in my room?" I asked
"You cried out in the middle of the night," he said
"Sorry," I said
I left my room and headed into my bathroom. I splashed my face with some water and shook my head. I did my hair and left the bathroom. Imhotep was still sitting on my bed. I walked into my closet and found something simple to wear. I then headed back into the bathroom to change, when I walk out Imhotep was still on my bed. He got up and walked over to me. He grabbed onto a piece of my hair.
"You should wear it down," Imhotep said
He then reached behind me and pulled my hair out of the hair tie.
"Just for today," I said
I turned and left the room. As I walked down to breakfast I tried not to think about what had just happened in my bedroom. Once I sat down I started to make a mental checklist and at the top was teach Imhotep about personal space.
"Morning, everyone," I said
Mom looked up at me and knew I was thinking hard about something.
"What are you thinking so hard about?" she asked
"Just making a checklist of what we have to do today," I said
We were halfway through breakfast when Jonathan finally joined us.
"Mom I think Jonathan should come with us today," Alex said
Jonathan looked up at this.
"What? No, I think I should stay right here." Jonathan said
Mom and Dad looked at each other.
"I agree with Alex. Looks like you are coming with us to… where are we going?" Dad asked
"Diagon Alley," I said
…
We used the entrance behind the Leaky Cauldron to get into the Alley. I had to ask the bartender to do though since I didn't have a wand. On the way over here I had a talk with Jonathan, Alex, Mom, and Imhotep. You would think that I wouldn't have to talk to a 4,000year-old mummy and two grownups but I did. I needed to make sure Jonathan knew not to do anything stupid, not to touch anything, and do not steal. Then I had to make sure Imhotep acted like a man from this century and that he didn't speak in ancient Egyptian. What I told Alex was very much like what I told Jonathan, except I stressed on the not touching and not putting anything on. I told mom not to read from a book aloud. Once we entered the alley I noticed the only person that somewhat blended in was Imhotep, because he was the only one in a robe.
"Why are all of these people wearing dresses?" Jonathan asked
I rolled my eyes shuck my head at him.
"Okay new rule Jonathan. Don't even talk, no don't even open your mouth. Wizards are very proud people and they won't take kindly to you insulting their culture." I said
"But…" Jonathan starts
"Listen to her, Jonathan. Because if you get yourself in trouble we won't be able to get you out of it." Dad said
"Fine," Jonathan said
"So where to first?" Mom asked
Where do I need to head to first?
You need to go to Gringotts to see to your vaults and titles. -Tom
"Gringotts," I said
Tom gave me directions to the bank. As we walked through the alley we see all the different shops. Mom and Dad made sure that Jonathan and Alex were in front of them and behind me. Imhotep was walking next to me. We came up in front of this huge white building, where goblins were standing outside the door.
"What are those things?" Alex asked
I turned and hit Alex on the back of the head.
"Alex you are now on the same rule as Jonathan. Also, you need to be respectful. They probably think the same thing when they see you." I said
We entered the bank, and Tom tells me what to do next.
Walk up to the main teller. Be very respectful and courteous. You will need to ask to rake an Inheritance test in a blood test to check for blocks or charm. -Tom
Okay, anything else?
Just remember to show them respect. -Tom
I nodded and headed towards the main teller. When I approached he was doing something so I waited. While I was waiting for a family came up. The family was made up of a woman, a man, four boys, and a girl and they all had a head of red hair. They pushed their way past my family and I. They were not only rude to my family but also to the goblin.
"We need to take money from our vault." the woman said
The goblin looks up and sneers at the family. I spoke up.
"Can't you see that he is busy and that there was someone in front of you," I said
"Well, you weren't exactly doing anything. Plus it doesn't matter that he was busy, he's a goblin." the woman said
"Yeah and I'm a girl so what. That doesn't give you the right to treat him or any other creature or goblin-like he is less or beneath you." I said
"But they are." the small boy said
"If anything you are the ones that are beneath or less than them," I said
When I looked away from the family, I see that the entire bank had gone quiet and everyone was looking at us. I looked back up at the main goblin.
"I'm sorry for causing such a scene," I said
"Don't an apology to them." the woman said
I was going to say something but Imhotep bet me to it.
"I don't believe she was talking to you," Imhotep said in his scary way
The woman took a step back.
"It is very okay. What can we help you with today?" the goblin asked
"I need to take an inherence test and blood test," I said
"Okay, follow me please." the goblin said
I turned back and looked at my family.
"Stay here, and you three don't touch anything and don't talk to anyone," I said
They nodded their heads, and I turned and followed the goblin. We walked down a hall and stopped in front of a set of doors.
"Wait here." the goblin said
I nodded my head. The goblin knocked then entered. I could slightly hear what they were saying.
"There is a girl outside that defend us to the Weasley family. She wishes to take an inheritance test and a blood test. Will you see her?" the goblin asked
There was silence. The doors opened.
"He will see you." the goblin said
He opened the door more so I could get in. Once I entered the room I turned back to the goblin that bought me here.
"Thank you," I said
I then walked over to the desk and that was in the middle of the room. The goblin that was sitting behind the desk was doing something I waited for him to finish before I sat down. He finished and looked up at me.
"You may sit down." the goblin said
I sat down.
"Thank you for taking the time to see me," I said
I noticed he had the same look in his eye as the other one did when I said thank you.
"I'm Demonhook. I'm the head goblin of Gringotts. Ragnor said that you would like to do an inheritance test and blood test. Tell me why do you need these two tests done." Demonhook said
"Yes, I can. I'm adopted. I was told that if I came here and ask for those two tests I can find out who my bio parents are and the other test can tell me stuff about my magic and if there are any blocks or charms on me." I said
"So you have no clue who your parents are?" Demonhook asked
"None. All I know is what my abusive Aunt and Uncle told me, which was that my parents didn't want me." I said
I could see this look in Demonhook's eyes.
"How did your adoptive parents come to adopt you. Because usually when a magical child is adopted things like that usually come to light." Demonhook said
"It wasn't a normal adoption. My Uncle left me in the Egyptian desert to die. That's where Evelyn found me." I said
I saw anger flash in Demonhook's eyes. He hopped off his chair and made his way over to a cabinet. He opened a few draws. He then came back over and sat down. He laid two papers in front of me and a knife.
"Let three drops of blood fall on each paper." He said
I did as I was told. I cut my finger and let three drops of blood fall on each paper. The blood started to move on the paper and turn into words.
"Let's take a look at your inheritance test first," Demonhook said
I looked down at the paper.

I just looked at the paper. Then up at Demonhook.
"I'm a Potter," I said
"It would seem so," Demonhook said
"Why did they get rid of me?" I asked
"I do not know. But I can look into it for you if you want." Demonhook said
"Yes if you could," I said
I looked over the paper one more time. I knew I would have to find out what it meant by Anubis's Next.
"What does this mean?" I asked
I pointed to the first Ladyship that was listed, I looked up at Demonhook to see that he was smirking.
"What does it mean by Conquest?" I asked
"That means that the wizarding world is worshipping the wrong Potter. The last person to hold the title of Slytherin was the Dark Lord, the man your older brother is famous for defeating. If your brother had truly been the one the spell rebounded off then he would hold this title which he doesn't." Demonhook said
"So you are telling me that I'm the one that the spell bounced off," I said
"Yes, it would seem so," Demonhook said
"So the savior of the wizarding world was tossed away to her relatives who then abused and neglected her. Who left her to die in the Egyptian desert. Not one person from this world even noticed that a person from a famous family just disappeared. Not even her own godparents." I said
There were a few moments of quiet.
"I don't want them to have anything to do with me. I don't want them to have any say in who I am or what I do. I don't want them to be able to take me from my real family." I said
"I thought you might say that so I also grabbed these. Seeing as you were treated that way and no one from the magical community checked on you. As well as the number of titles you have, you can cut all ties with the Potter family while still keeping the perks. So you would still be able to claim your ladyships, you would still have access to your trust vault, and everything that goes along with being a Potter including family magic if they have any, but they wouldn't have a say in anything." Demonhook said
"Where do I sign?" I asked
"Your new parents would also have to sign. I'll send someone to get them. While we wait for them would you like to claim everything?" Demonhook asked
"Yes, I would," I said
Demonhook then went on to tell me how to claim the Ladyships. I followed his directions. When I finished there were 6 boxes in on his desk.
"Okay now, all you have to do is put the rings on your fingers. The ladyship rings go on your left hand and the heir ring goes on the right. If the rings accept you, you will feel it. Once there is more than one ring on your finer they should become one." Demonhook said
I did as he was told, all the rings accepted me. They all merged into one ring. Then the two heirship rings merged. Demonhook was about to say something more when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Demonhook said
The door opens and the goblin that had taken me here walks in with my family following behind him.
"Here is the O'Connell family and their friend." the goblin said
"You may go," Demonhook said
The goblin nodded and left the room. My family walked over to me. Dad, Jonathan, and Alex stood behind my chair. While Imhotep sat in the chair on the left and Mom sat in the chair on my right.
"Guys I would like you to meet the Head Goblin of Gringotts Demonhook," I said
"Nice to meet you Demonhook. What can we do for you?" Mom asked
Demonhook looked shocked that Mom was so nice and respectful of him.
"It's not what you can do for me but what you and I can do for your daughter. It would seem that her parents willing gave her up to those Muggles. Sadly they still have control over her and if they so choose to they would be able to take her from you. But I have drawn up as you would say "adoption" papers that would make you her parents in the eyes of the wizarding world and Muggle. And since they were made on goblin territory only a goblin would be able to undo it and the goblin who undoes it would have to be higher up than me and the only goblin above me is the Goblin King." Demonhook said
"Where do we sign?" Dad asked
Demonhook pushed the stack of papers forward.
"The places you have to sign have been marked. Both you have to sign. Any questions?" Demonhook asked
"Not at the moment." Mom said
I got up so that Dad could take my chair. They started signing papers and doing as the Demonhook said.
"Demonhook when you are done with them I would like to talk about my accounts and some other things," I said
"Of course," Demonhook said
"Accounts?" Jonathan asked
"Yes, Jonathan accounts as in gold your favorite thing," I said
"I do like gold," Jonathan said
Dad and mom finished signing the papers.
"Okay, now all I need is for each one of you to cut your finger and let a drop of blood onto the paper by your name," Demonhook said
I stepped up to cut my finger and let it drop next to my signature. Mom and Dad followed suit. The paper glowed and there was a locking noise.
"Congratulation. You are now a family in the eyes of magic. Also since it was made on goblin territory only a goblin would be able to undo it and the goblin who undoes it would have to be higher up than me and the only goblin above me is the Goblin King" Demonhook said
Dad moved so I could sit back down.
"I would like for you to manage my accounts from now on. Also, I want to make it so that only Evelyn, Ric, and I can access the vaults." I said
Demonhook had a smirk on his face. When I said that I wanted him to manage my accounts.
"Of course. Anything else?" Demonhook asked
"Yes, three things. First is there a way for me to have access to my accounts without coming in all the time?" I asked
"Yes, we have a card that will work in both the wizard and muggle stores. Your rings will also work in the wizarding world. Then we have a bag that has a connection to a vault." Demonhook said
"I would like the bag and the card. The second thing involves my so-called "family". I want to find anything and everything you can on them. I would also like the basic information on people in the wizarding world. Like which people to avoid or who to befriend. Also any dirt you can get your hands on." I said
"You have something planned don't you?" Demonhook asked
"Maybe," I said
"Of course. I will find anything and everything I can." Demonhook said
"Finally I would like for you to take some money from account and invest it into businesses. Mainly those that would help me in the long run. Also, take some for the goblins nation. And of course some for you." I said
Demonhook's eyes got big.
"You are trusting me with your finances. As well as financing the goblin nation?" Demonhook asked
"Of course. People may view you as if you are less but you aren't. You know how to handle money and how and when to invest or pull out. If wizards respected you they would learn how to make this world grow and become what it once was but… they don't and this world has fallen into two wars in less than 50 years." I said
Demonhook simply smiled.
"Whatever you have planned we at the Gringotts branch of England do wish you the best luck. Also for the respect, you have shown us we name you and your family goblin friends." Demonhook said
"Thank you for that great honor. I'll try to do the honor justice." I said
"I have no doubt you will," Demonhook said
I stood up.
"Thank you for taking the time to see me, and thank you for what you did for my family and myself," I said
"Of course. You are always welcome here." Demonhook said
I nodded and headed towards the door. I heard Mom and Dad thank the goblin as well.
You did well. And you received the title of Goblin Friend and that is most never achieve, the last to have it was Merlin himself. Do you have something planned for that family of yours? -Tom said
Of course, I do. I have plans for all of wizarding Britain. And the others.
Others? -Tom asked
Yes didn't you see I'm in charge of three other Countries? I have Egypt most likely from Anubis and mother. Then I have Ireland and Scotland most likely from the Le Frey title. Then I have Russia though I don't know how I have that one. I also plan to take France and Bulgaria. I'm just not sure yet how I will do that.
Blackmail -Tom said
I was broken out of my thoughts by the noise of the main entrance of Gringotts. The goblins all looked at me differently now. News must spread fast. I nodded my head to them in a show of respect. My family followed behind of me, I saw the other wizards look at us weird. I didn't pay much attention to them.
"Where to next Amara?" Mom asked
"Well according to this list I need robes, books, a cauldron, herbs, an owl, and a wand. So I guess the robs first since that will take the longest." I said
"Okay lead the way," Dad said
I lead them to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. When I got the store I walked in. I noticed that no one was there. An older lady walked out from the back of the store.
"Hogwarts dear?" she asked
"Yes, Madam. I was also hoping I could get a dress robe and a few normal ones?" I asked
"Of course. You must be Muggle-born. If you would like I can also measure your family that way that has some as well." Madam Malkin said
"That would be great. Thank you." Mom said
Madam Malkin got right to work measuring us. It didn't take too long as the measuring tapes were charmed to automatically. Dad and Jonathan were wary of the magic tape. Mom, Alex, and Imhotep were impressed and curious about them.
"Your robes should be done by the time you have finished all your shopping. Would you like to pay now or when you pick them up?" madam Malkin said
"When we pick them up," I said
"Okay. I suggest you go and get a trunk before you head anywhere else that way you have a place to put your items. Also if you can afford it I suggest Twilfitt and Tatting's for dresses that many wears to Wizarding events." Madam Malkin said
"Thank you, Madam, see you later," I said
"You have raised such a nice daughter." Madam Malkin said
"Thank you." Mom said
We left Madam Malkin's. We were standing outside the store.
"Would you like you to go into Twilfitt and Tatting's?" Mom asked
"Maybe if we have time after everything else is done," I said
I took Madam Malkin's advice and head to a store that sold trunks. I brought a multi-compartment trunk. I had a compartment for books, potions, clothes, school stuff, a two-bedroom apartment, and weapons. I had the man put a magic lock on it this way only my magic could open it. I also had a password on it. I also brought Alex, Mom, and myself feather light bags.
"Where to next?" Alex asked
"Ollivander's he sells wands," I said
We headed towards Ollivander's. I walked inside and looked around. There were rows and rows of shelves.
"I would say hello Miss. Potter but it would seem as if that's not your last name anymore." a man said
"No, it never was and will never be my last name. My name is Amara O'Connell now. And you must be Ollivander." I said
"That I am. Now then let's find you a wand. Wand arm?" Ollivander asked
"I guess right," I said
"You guess?" Ollivander asked
"Yes. I can do almost everything with either hand." I said
"Okay," Ollivander said
A measuring tape comes flying from the back of the store and starts to measure my right arm, and my hand then it moves and measures my left. A quill was writing information down on a piece of paper. Once the measuring tape was done it flew off, and the quill stopped writing. Ollivander picked up the paper and read it over. He then moved to one of the shelves towards the back. He grabbed four boxes and brought them over to me. He opened the first box and gave me the wand.
"Give it a wave," Ollivander said
I gave it a wave and a vase exploded. I tried again with each wand he gave me.
20 or so wands later…
"What is taking so long?" Alex asked
"Some time it takes longer than others to find someone their wand," Ollivander said
"Well, you have to have some kind of idea about her wand?" Dad asked
Ollivander just looked at me for a minute. Then something flashed across his eyes. He disappears for a few minutes then comes back with two boxes. He opens both. Then hands me one of them. I picked it up and I didn't even have to give it a wave it felt right but wrong at the same time.
This feels familiar. Ask what the core is? -Tom asked
"What is the core?" I asked
"Phoenix feather. The Phoenix that gave that feather gave another. That other feather was in a wand that belonged to the man that tried to kill yourself, and both of your bothers." Ollivander said
He was still looking at me wired.
"Let me guess you planned on having my oldest brother trying this wand," I said
"Yes. Which means…" Ollivander said
I let Ollivander think over what had just occurred to him. I picked up the other one he had brought out, that one felt perfect. Ollivander was still in his head.
"I'll take both," I said
That seemed to snap Ollivander out if his thoughts.
"Of course. 14 gallons." Ollivander said
I paid for the wands and headed to the door. I didn't make it out before Ollivander spoke again.
"They got it wrong. This entire time it was you." Ollivander said
I turned my head and smiled at him before leaving the store. After Ollivander's, we headed to Flourish and Blott's to get my books. We got more than first-year books. Mom found some books that interested her, even Alex found one or two. I got way more books than I needed, but Tom said I would need them. When we came up to the counter the man looked at us weird.
"Muggleborn I take it. You know girly your parents won't be able to do any of the magic in those books." the man said
I didn't answer him. He rolled his eyes but continued to check us out.
"Your total is 30 gallons 14 sickle and 25 nuts. How will you be paying?" He asked
He pushes a piece of paper towards me and on the paper is the total. I chose to pay with one of my rings. So I did as Demonhook said. I thought about which ring I wanted, I felt the change on my finger. I then put my ring on the paper as if it was a stamp. When I brought my hand up the crest of my ring was on the paper. I didn't even look up at the man, I simply picked up the books put them in my trunk. I looked back up at the person behind the counter and he was looking at the paper with shock. The trunk shrunk and we turned and headed towards the exit.
"So far I don't exactly like the wizarding world," I said
"I agree they seem extremely…" Jonathan trailed off
"I believe the word you are looking for is racist." Mom said
"Yes, that," Jonathan said
We headed to Potage's Cauldron Shop to get a cauldron. Then after that, we headed to the Apothecary for the stuff I would need for my potions class. Then after that, we headed to Eeyops Owl Emporium to get me an owl. I walked around for a while I didn't know which one I wanted.
Reach out with your magic. -Tom
So I did as I was told and I reached out with my magic. I felt the pull, I followed the pull to the back of the store.
"Have you found one?" the man asked
"Yes. That one." I said
I pointed to the one at the back of the store.
"Are you sure that one has bitten everyone that has gotten remotely close to it." the man said
I walked over the owl's cage. I opened and the owl's cage, it flew out. It landed on my shoulder.
"That is a Pharaoh Eagle Owl." the man said
I laugh a little bit.
"Of course it is. How much?" I asked
"The Owl, a cage, some food, and some treats. Should come to around 12 gallons." the man said
"Okay," I said
We walked to the counter. The man moved around and grabbed the things I need. He put them on the counter, I paid for them and put them in my trunk. We left and headed to Amanuensis Quills to get a quill and some paper. Once we left there we headed next door which was Madam Malkin was.
"Hello, Madam," I said
"Hello, dearie." Madam Malkin said
She snapped her fingers and the clothes came flying towards us.
"Your total is 50 gallons. How would you like to pay?" Madam Malkin asked
"Seal," I said
She nods her head. She pushed the slip forward. I repeat the process I did at the book store. Once the seal was on the paper I pushed the paper back towards Madam Malkin. I put the robs into the trunk.
"Thank Madam Malkin," I said
"No problem. I forgot to ask earlier what is your name?" Madam Malkin asked
"I'm Amara O'Connell. This is my Mom Eve, my dad Ric, My uncle Jonathan, my little brother Alex, and…Imhotep." I said
"It's very nice to meet you all. Have fun at Hogwarts dearie." Madam Malkin said
"Will do, thank you," I said
We left the shop.
"Well, that's everything," I said
"Then let's head home," Dad said
