Back in the Great Hall
"Well, would you look at that. Seems like Potter finally cracked. I'll have to show Father this memory, its Patronus worthy to see that looked on the old man's face," Draco said with an amused sneer on his face.
Blaise snorted but agreed with him, looks like his chance is coming sooner rather than later; He just needed Harry to properly court him and he'd be happy for life. He could just imagine their life together already and it brought a smile to his face, which earned him intrigued looks from his house mates.
"Pull yourself together Blaise, otherwise you'll become too obvious," Pansy whispered harshly .
Blaise quickly composed himself and continued eating, all the while, he was extremely hopeful of the outcome of Harry's behavior.
Dumbledore's P.O.V
He was in quite a good mood today, he even went as far as awarding a Slytherin five points just for greeting him. Normally, he wouldn't have done such an act but as it seems, he has gotten the Potter boy so far in his self manipulated web that there was absolutely no hope for the boy to escape, not like he would even think about it. Having the boy do mediocre was just luck, he had to thank Miss. Granger for that, otherwise, Harry would've already figured out his plan.
Nothing could hope to ruin his day, well, that was until he felt a huge wave of raw Magic approaching the Great Hall and even though he became cautious, it was better to face his enemies with a smile so that they would not know if he feared them. It was a good confusion tactic which brought out the wariness in his enemies whom had now fallen to his wand. Now, back to the matter at hand, he tensed when the doors of the Great hall slammed open and in stepped the one and only Harry James Potter.
Albus sighed wearily in his mind but he continued to smile at the boy which caused his face to twist into a more hateful sneer and it was quite a feat; He was already thinking up scenarios to calm the boy down, lest he lose his sacrificial lamb. It's a war and only the boy can defeat Tom, there is no place for guilt, he had to do what needs to be done. If he had to sacrifice one life for that of millions then he would gladly do it.
Time to do some damage control, he sighed before smiling jovially at Harry who had came to stand in front of him.
End of Dumbledore's P.O.V
Harry bit his lips and entered the building, already reading the warning outside; he practically knew the words by heart and he shuddered internally, his mind already coming up with scenarios at the Goblins' punishment. As soon as he entered the bank, it was like an alarm system went off because his arms were immediately gripped by Goblins in armour and then ushered behind one of the Goblin clerk's desk. To say he was confused and scared was an understatement, he was very close to hyper ventilating. He had escaped Dumbledore only to land in more foreseeable trouble.
He was then pushed into an extremely comfortable chair and he distractedly relaxed. In a couple seconds, there was a Goblin sitting adjacent to him in an equally looking comfortable chair and a desk appeared in front of it. Harry blinked confusedly but kept his questions to himself.
"I assume that you are confused Mr. Potter, but rest assured, everything will be explained after I have finished sorting through the Wills in my hand. Please get comfortable as it will be a while before you leave. I promise that you are not in trouble so need to be so tense. My name is Will Reader Grypp and I am in charge of every Will reading at Gringotts," The Goblin, Grypp stated calmly which made Harry relax properly into the chair.
So he was not in trouble? Got it.
"Mr. Potter, firstly, I have to congratulate you on successfully breaking the Magical block placed on you by your own Magic because of the level of power you had excluded upon birth. Its a normal occurrence so you have nothing to worry about and Lastly, I would like to congratulate you finally getting rid of the compulsion magic placed on you. I have noticed the works of Albus Dumbledore and I've been waiting on you to finally free yourself from said man's control. Gringotts had no power over your state of being as Mr. Dumbledore had placed himself as your Magical Guardian. You must be wondering how we found out about this so soon, the answer to that is that as soon as you stepped into Gringotts, we were alerted that the only Magic surrounding you was your own as we've taken the liberty of tracking your Magic as you are one of our wealthier clients. It is a service offered to our wealthy clientele and those who could afford it.
Mr. Potter, it is doubtful that you are aware that your mother was neither an Evans nor Potter? Your mother was stolen from her family when she was just an infant and She was not made aware of it and that was a mistake on our part, one of which I sincerely apologise for. I will not reveal you mother's ancestry to you yet until we have cleared up all this information first. First and foremost, I think that it is alright to tell you that James Potter was not your biological father as your mother had sent us a letter upon her death explaining that the Elder Potter had threatened her into doing a blood adoption for you. Fortunately, it is possible to undo the blood adoption as it was a partial adoption.
I should tell you Mr. Potter that you are very lucky to be able to undo a wrongful blood adoption.
Before we continue, please hold this box in your hand for five seconds then give it back to me. It will identify everything that you have inherited," Grypp explained before handing a small plain looking box over to Harry who immediately took it.
Harry waited five seconds before giving it back to Grypp, while Grypp was pulling back, he saw some of his blood being sucked into a tiny hole in the box and raised his eyebrows in astonishment - he couldn't yet raise one at a time, but he so wished that he could - and gasped in surprise. He didn't even feel a thing but... maybe he should stop trying to figure out how Goblins and their inventions worked. Yes, that would be the safest way.
Before Harry could blink, a scroll landed on his lap with a note stuck to it, he then picked it up and read the note.
Hello,
You maybe be allowed to read this scroll when both of your Magic's have intertwined. When you and him become one in body, mind and soul. Do not attempt to read it or your Magic will be taken as compensation and he will feel the brunt of our anger,
S.G.R.H
Harry blinked once more and carefully placed the scroll in his pocket; he wouldn't dare trying to open it if what was written on the note was true.
"Now that we have that cleared up, I have here in my hand a roll of parchment in which all your inheritances have appeared. Please review it while I sift through the rest of your inheritance," Grypp then handed the parchment over to Harry who relaxed back in his chair.
The first name at the very top of the parchment startled him and he let out a gasp of surprise.
It said his name was...
