- Chapter 2 -

Harry was left stunned at the amount of money Effie explained he had inherited. He was not sure he even heard the number correctly.

"Are you sure that that is the right file?" Harry asked, wincing at the way his voice cracked. "My Lord, I am absolutely sure that the total number of monies in the Potter vault and your Hogwarts Student Vault add upt to 397,788,264 galleons and some odd knuts. Here," She handed him a red folder with his current statements. "Below the final page of the folder is the total amount of shares for each company you have stock with as well as their current value, companies you invest in on a yearly bases and how much you own of them and as well as how much wealth is being stored in the Potter Vault at the current moment" Harry looked down and read out loud to make sure he was not reading everything incorrectly.

"Shares Invested in as of 07/01/1996:

Daily Prophet – 130,000 shares; valued at: 3,748,639 galleons

Effie nodded as Harry finished reading all the totals. His eyes skimmed the page over and over, under the table he pinched his thigh as hard as he could but he was not dreaming. What was he to do with so much money? And he basically owned the Daily Prophet yet they used him for headlines full of lies. 'Can I contact the board of directors to make them stop?' he thought.

Suddenly Effie cleared her throat, signaling him to give her his attention.

"As your parents had stated in their Will letter. You are to take over ownership of Potter Manor and receive your house ring. This will legally emancipate you and you will be seen as an adult in the eyes of both the Wizarding World and the Muggle community." Effie explained as she got a small ring out of a wooden box. "Once you put on the ring it will prick your finger. The blood from the prick will be analyzed by the ring to make sure you are the one true heir to the Potter Family Estate." She handed him the ring. It had the Potter Crest on the top and it the Gryffindor motto etched around. Harry placed the ring on his right ring finger, suddenly he felt a sharp prick, feeling his blood oozing out on the ring then it glowed a bright red. After a moment it stopped glowing and resized to fit his finger perfectly. He no longer felt the pain of being pricked.

"Ah! The ring has accepted you as head of House and true heir to the Potter Family Estate." Effie explained. She put the box away and took out another document within the will. "This is the remaining assets your parents declared would be given to the following people:

To Remus Lupin we leave you 100,000 galleons, we hope this will help you invest more in life and give you an opportunity to relish the good rather than the bad.

To Arthur and Molly Weasley, we leave you with 100,000 galleons, we hope you are able to use this money to take care of the new little ones you have brought into this magical world.

To The Longbottoms, we leave you the barn out in the outskirts of Dean Forrest, we hope you can use it if the need ever irises.

And finally, To The Lovegoods, we leave you with the Farm near Liverplate, we hope it will help your gardens back home or even beccome an extra office for the Quibbler."

As Effie was reading off what each family was getting, an automatic letter was being sent to each of them to explain what they have received. She then put that paper aside then took one last paper out of the will and a 1 small key which she handed to Harry. "My Lord, here is the key to Godric Hallow. Sadly since it has been destroyed and only rebuilt as a memorial to your parents, you will not be able to live there but your parents still wanted you to have the keys should the need ever arise."

Harry nodded, asked Effie to leave the key in the Potter Vault until he needed to use it and handed it back to her. Effie then slid the last document to Harry, it was blank from what Harry could see so he looked up at Effie for clarification. "My Lord, the vaults for the original 27 do not require a key but a blood oath and ward to keep anyone from taking your wealth. I will need the blood to drop on this document to complete the oath and ward." She explained while taking out a small gold knife. Harry's eyes went wide making Effie chuckle. "I promise my Lord, it will only hurt for a second and then the wound will automatically heal.

Harry nodded wearily and handed her his left hand. She dug the gold knife into his palm, blood dropped on the piece of paper, she cut across his hand making Harry wince then he breathed a sigh of relief as the wound was healed once she put the nice down.

The blood glowed on the piece of paper then disappeared. Effie took the paper and the other documents, straightened them before putting them in the formal looking envelope. "Now that we are done with the grueling stuff, would you like to visit Potter manor?" She asked, causing Harry to nod frantically, making Effie smile warmly at him. "Let me get the portkey and we will be off in just a moment, my Lord."
