Harry was led down the hallway to the healers. He probably should of asked how the healers would heal him, but he was trying to keep up with the goblin in front of him without running. He had a feeling that wouldn't look nice with all the other goblins and wizards around already giving him weird looks. After some more twist and turns, they came to a door with the healer sign that reminded Harry of that Greek god he learned about in school. Walking through the doors it seemed that everyone stopped what they were doing to look at him. The room was mixed between goblins and wizards that seemed to be huddled together talking. One of the goblins came over to great him while dismissing the goblin that brought him.

"Mr. Potter, my name is Slamclaw and I will be your head healer today. Lord Ragnorock has already informed us that we will be doing a complete workup since your upbringing was less than welcome. We as healers are bound to not repeat anything found out except to those you have already authorized with Lord Ragnorock. Is that understood?"

"Yes, sir. Is there something that I'll need to do?"

"At this moment, you just need to sit on this table here." Slamclaw led Harry to the table that was next to the other occupants of the room. "The wizard healers will be using their wands while we goblins will be using wandless magic. We need you to lie still until we are done. Once done, we will go from there to see what needs to be done." Harry liked that, so he scooted further up onto the table and lied down. Slamclaw nodded to everyone and they began to work. 30minutes later they were done and reviewing their results while Harry swung his legs from the table. By the looks of everyone, it didn't look good. After another 10minutes Slamclaw came over to talk to Harry.

"Mr. Potter, it seems that there is some dark energy in your scar. Right now your magic and the protection magic of your mother is keeping the dark energy from affecting you at the moment. We are not sure how long it will last, but we need to get it out of you as soon as possible. The only downside is that as you are, there is a 50/50 chance that you won't survive. On the other hand, if we strengthen you, the dark energy might get stronger as well. Not to mention we are unable to tell what magic your mother used to protect you so we don't know what will happen after we get you to an acceptable health with the taint in you. At the end, the choice is yours." Harry was slightly pale and green at the same time. It wasn't hard to figure out that Voldemort was the reason he had dark energy in him. To think that he carried a piece of his parents' murderer was making him ill. Not only that, there was a pretty good chance that he might die while getting the energy out of him.

"Do you know if my chances would have been increased if this was taken care of sooner?"

"Yes, if you were brought to a healer, he or she would have found the taint in your scar and taken it out of you. You would not have been in any danger. Now, with you having your magical power coming in, that isn't the case. Every year that the taint is in you decreases the chance of you surviving the extraction." Harry nibbled on his bottom lip for a moment before making a decision.

"Let's get this thing out of me before we do anything else. How are you going to get it out of me?"

"We will go to the ritual room. You are going to bathe in a purifying solution before hand. After both you and the room are ready, you will be lead into the ritual room. I will have to warn you Mr. Potter that you will only be in a loin clothe for the remainder of the ritual." At Harry's nod of understanding, Slamclaw continued on. "The type of ritual we're going to use is a cleansing ritual with an exorcism of sorts to make sure all of it is out of you. Any questions?"

"Will it affect my mother's magic?"

"No. Since your mother's magic is aiding you, it will remain behind. I'm not sure how it will affect you, but considering how good it is, it won't do negative to you. Is there anything else?"

"How long will the ritual last?"

"It could last anywhere between one hour to several. You will be tired from this as well so we are going to keep you overnight to watch you for any complications. After that, we will start the healing regiments needed to make you healthy." Harry nodded at that. Slamclaw took that as Harry not having any more questions and lead him into the bath chamber while the other healers went to prepare the ritual rooms and themselves.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Harry was lying on a stone slab with only a small piece of cloth hiding his bits. He was slightly cold but he's been even more uncomfortable before, so it wasn't too bad. His glasses were with one of the healers so he couldn't see anything beyond a blur, but he did know that the walls were glowing with some type of writing that turned out to be runes from what Slamclaw explained it to be. All they were waiting for was some last minute calculations for the ritual before starting. By the time they were done, Harry was slightly dozing.

"Mr. Potter, we are about to start the ritual. At first you might feel overly warm but towards the end it might be painful depending how much the taint tries to fight back. Whatever happens, don't give into the taint. If you do so than any chance of survival will be lost. Is this understood?"

"Yes. Let's get this over with." Slamclaw nodded at this and motioned for everyone to get into position. Since Harry couldn't see what was happening around him, the chanting was the only thing he could concentrate on. As Slamclaw predicted, 30minutes into the ritual Harry started to feel warm. He forced himself to stay still instead of fidget like he wanted to; although that was getting tougher to do the longer the ritual went on. The heat started getting uncomfortable, especially around the scar on his forehead.

Almost an hour into the ritual the chanting rose, as well as Harry's pain. Harry thought that he felt blood on his forehead before a terrible scream filled the room. The chanting grew, the runes on the wall glowed brighter, and Harry's screams joined the dark taint's as well. The healers were struggling to contain the darkness while making sure the small child in their care remained alive. Another 30minutes of this battle before it seemed that the healers were making any progress. Slamclaw had started talking to Harry to make sure he wasn't fading on them.

"My. Potter, you can push out the darkness. Don't let it create a hold on you." Harry seemed to have heard him because the taint seemed to become weaker than before. "That's it. We're almost there everyone. One more push and Voldemort's taint will be out of the boy!"

That seemed to give everyone a second wind, even Harry, and 10minutes later the taint was driven out of Harry with one final scream. The second team of healers moved in to check on Harry and the other healers that were doing the ritual. The healers were suffering from mild exhaustion that will be fixed with a pepper-up potion and rest. Harry on the other hand was in serious danger with magical exhaustion and was running a 101.2 fever.

"Get him into the main healing room. We have to give something for this fever and exhaustion before it gets worse!" They quickly moved him into the other room and started working on him. Some time later and Harry was no longer in critical danger, but the healers were still going to keep a close eye on him. They also removed some bones that weren't properly healed and gave him some skeleton-grow while he was out of it. This way they wouldn't be causing him any more pain when he regained consciousness.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The next morning Ragnorock was going over the information that he collected the previous night. It seems that Dumbledore bribed Riphound with Harry's money, which meant any and all possessions were forfeit to Harry's accounts. Ragnorock also informed Madam Bones about the abuse that Harry endured at his relatives' hand as well as Dumbledore's role in the matter. To say that the woman was angry was like saying a goblin was good at numbers, a huge understatement. He passed on the information that he had as well as an invite to the will reading to see what other charges could be brought against the headmaster. The only downside is that the charges would be happening after Harry went to Hogwarts. If it was anyone else, they would have been arrested, but with Dumbledore's pull, they needed an air tight case. A case that would take longer than five days to put together by the mess Riphound left.

With a sigh Ragnorock took a look at the audit they were able to do. Thankfully, the Potters registered everything no matter if it was within the goblin's care or not. The only thing that was missing was one deathly hollow, three family books, and two art pieces. They were immediately recalled and put into the trust vault for later withdrawal. Ragnorock was so going to enjoy tormenting Riphound for the mess he left, no matter how long it took. Ten other accounts, three of them belonging to Ancient and Noble houses, were found to be mishandled by Riphound. Ragnorock's attention was interrupted by knocking on his door.

"Enter." Slamclaw entered the office with the reports on Harry's treatments as well as past injuries to be forwarded to Madam Bones. With that, she would be able to press charges by 9am with the wizarding and muggle world. Restraining a smirk at what they will face, he turned his attention to the healer's report.

"Mr. Potter is recovering remarkable well from the removal of the dark magic from himself. He did have a fever during the night, but it broke around 1am this morning."

"Were you able to figure out what type of dark magic was residing within Mr. Potter?"

"It seems that Tom Riddle, aka Voldemort, created many Horcroxes to the point that his soul was unstable. Combined with the protection ritual yet be determined that Mrs. Potter used, it separated his soul again and caused it to launch onto Mr. Potter. Luckily, his mother's protection and his naturally large reserves of magic allowed the soul piece to remain separate from the child. Here is a more in-depth report if you have any more questions." Ragnorock took a quick glance at the report before putting it aside for later. He will have to decide if Madam Bones needed the information about Horcroxes or not. He had another hour to decide if he wanted to keep to him timetable.

"What about his overall health before the ritual?" Slamclaw handed him another report to look over while he talked.

"Mr. Potter is suffering from malnutrition, previously broken bones that healed incorrectly, some brain damage to his memory due to at least one case of blunt force trauma, weak bones because of the malnutrition as well as some organ damage and stunted growth being the main problems he faces. Most can be fixed with time and potions, but he will never reach his maximum high nor will his bones as strong as they could be without taking drastic measures that could cause more harm than good at this point in time. There also may be some memory problems, but we can't be sure at the moment."

"Explain."

"It seems the Mr. Potter's magic is already use to healing its host with little to no outside help. With us spelling nutrition and healing potions into him, it seems to have made the healing faster and stronger than before. It is similar to a healing sleep, but in smaller bursts. Right now the magic seems to be focusing on his brain, bone and muscle development." Ragnorock nodded at this. He looked at the report before him to see what type of outside care that Harry would need. Nutrition potions for the malnutrition, stomach soother so Harry wouldn't get sick with eating more food, and calcium potions to help his bones along with others for his overal health.

"What about the soul piece? What happened to that?"

"After it was removed from Mr. Potter, it was unable to survive outside a host and dissipated. There seemed to be an item that responded to the soul piece before it dissipated. The vault number and information is with this report." Slamclaw handed Ragnorock his final report. "I had the item removed as our policies."

"Good. Is Mr. Potter still sleeping?"

"To my knowledge he is."

"When he wakes, feed him and give him the first dose of his medicine. Once he's done eating, provide clothes and have a runner bring him. You and the other healers will be compensated for your hard work." Slamclaw bowed and left Ragnorock to his work. He let out another sigh before looking at the clock. 6:12am and there was so much to do, but time was money. Making a copy of Harry's medical file, Ragnorock set that aside and looked at the ritual report to see what information Madam Bones might need.

00000000000000000 6:35am 00000000000000000000

Harry woke up to sore limbs and a blinding headache. For a moment he thought that he was back under his cupboard after one of Uncle Vernon's beatings before remembering that he was in Gringotts. Opening his eyes, Harry realized two things. The first was that he was in the room he met the healers in before going to the ritual room. The second thing Harry realized is that his eye sight was much better than before. Instead of blurry vision for anything more than an inch away from his face, he was able to see a couple of feet before things started to go out of focus.

"Well, it looks like our patient is awake. Do you need your glasses?" Harry turned to his left to see one of the wizard healers from the night before. He was about 6'2", pale skin, and brown hair and eyes with a reassuring smile that made Harry smile back at him.

"No, it seems that my eyes have improved."

"Really? Let me give you a quick check up to see." Harry nodded his head and held still while the healer waved his wand over him. That reminded Harry that he needed to get his wand and everything else before going off to Hogwarts. Harry hoped that there were classes on healing at Hogwarts since it seemed interesting.

"How long was I sleeping?"

"Only for the night. You're actually up sooner than expected, especially after that fever you had during the night. Luckily it broke earlier this morning, and it seems that I'm done." The healer looked over the parchment results to see how else Harry improved.

"What is the time healer…?"

"Oh, my apologies. My name is Healer Joshua. I was here last night getting that nasty piece of magic out of you. And it seems that your eyes aren't the only thing about you that's improved. Your bones and muscles have strengthened and the damage to your brain has reversed somewhat. That should help with your memory and retention. Very important things when starting your first year at Hogwarts since most of the classes start out with theoretical knowledge before moving on to the practical application." Joshua sent a wink at Harry while setting the results in his medical file. "Since you're awake, we can order you something to eat while we go over the potions you're going to have to take for the next couple of months to get you to the level we want you to be. And since your eyesight has improved, I'll charm you eyeglasses with the right prescription. They should last a month before the charm fails. That should give you more than enough time to get knew glasses. How does that sound?"

"Sounds good, but is there a bathroom I can go to before we start?"

"Sure. I'll order your breakfast and get you a change of clothes." Harry scampered to the bathroom while Healer Joshua charmed the glasses before turning back to the results.

00000000000 7:13am 0000000000

Madam Amelia Bones has been in her office for over an hour waiting for the reports from the goblins. When Ragnorock had contacted her the previous day she was shocked. One reason being that the lord of the goblins personally calling her about a child abuse case was rare in itself, but to find out that the abused child was Harry Potter was even more remarkable. The other reason that this case was so shocking was the possibility that Albus Dumbledore was the reason that he was abused and went against someone's will was sickening. From what Ragnorock told her, Dumbledore would be facing a lot of charges, although with his pull Ragnorock doubted that he would get any prison time. Well, she didn't get this far by greasing palms like some of the other department heads. Well, she was going to show Ragnorock why she was one of the most feared witches as well as the department head to the aurors. Albus Dumbledore would be sent to prison if it was the last thing she did. Little did she know that the evidence needed would be arriving in the next thirty minutes.

00000000 7:20am 00000000000

Albus Dumbledore was not happy at the moment. Yesterday he sent Hagrid out to collect Harry Potter for him. Usually when there is a need to send a representative from Hogwarts one of the more reliable teachers would have gone. But since he wanted Harry to have blind faith in him, Hagrid was the perfect person to send. Unfortunately, Harry didn't seem to want to follow his plans. Hagrid had returned from Diagon Alley only spending about an hour with Harry, most of the time spent over lunch. By the time he came back from the vault with the Philosopher Stone, Harry was already meeting with his account manager. The goblins hadn't allowed Hagrid to wait for Harry, let alone take him like he was suppose to. When Hagrid had explained that the goblins had Harry after informing them that he didn't know anything about the wizarding world, it took every ounce of control in Dumbledore's body not to curse the half-giant. If the goblins looked closely, then they would figure out that he illegally got control over Harry as well as his vaults. There was also the fact that he had a couple of artifacts that belonged to the Potters the he should have handed over long ago. With a sigh, Dumbledore took out some parchment and ink to write to Riphound. Hopefully, he would be able to manage the situation enough that whatever punishment Dumbledore would face would be slight. Little did he know that his fate was already on its way to Amelia Bones, one of the few people that didn't bow to him like he trained the rest of the wizarding world. Leading the wizarding world to the greater good was about to bite Albus Percival Wilfrid Brain Dumbledore in the ass even before the students were able to settle in Hogwarts.

0000000000 8:03am 0000000000000000

Harry Potter was sitting in Ragnorock's office waiting for him to finish his report. Ragnorock's desk seemed to be buried under paperwork and Harry hoped that everything on it didn't concern him directly or he would be spending another day in the goblin's care. And with only five more days until he had to go to Hogwarts, Harry didn't want to wait till the last moment to get the items he needed. He also wanted to read some of the books he needed and was recommended to him. Not to mention that he has some other questions that he forgot to ask yesterday.

"Thank you Mr. Potter for waiting. As you can see, I am a little busier than usual with looking over your accounts as well as the others Riphound was in charge of. It seemed that he would steal from these accounts to raise his own, and at times others, standing."

"Was Dumbledore the main person that he worked with?"

"No. It seems that Dumbledore only did this to you, but considering how much power you hold in this world, it is not that surprising. That is one of the things I wanted to talk to you about before we send you out." Harry showed his understanding. Ragnorock took a breath before beginning.

"You, Mr. Potter, are very popular in the wizarding world. You are seen as a hero, and because of that the media will be after you. Now, you could use this to your advantage or they could use you. I would suggest that you use them to get the public to your side. You don't have to tell them anything, or trust them at their word alone, but you can tell them enough that whatever they write will be in your favor. The best one for this will be Rita Seeker. She is a vile, manipulative woman who enjoys bringing people down to sell her story, perfect if you have her sign a contract like this one to insure her compliance with you."

"Why would she sign something if she could just write anything she wants? It seems like she is one of those journalist that gets away with just about anything for gossip rags like in the muggle world."

"True, but if you promise exclusive stories as well as allude to your life, she will be beside herself to get you all to herself. Not to mention that your family is very powerful. With your backing, even if there isn't any, it will give her security that her usual blackmail doesn't. All you have to do is insure that she writes the truth and that she doesn't use her Quick Quill when interviewing you. Those things can easily twist words just as we breathe." Harry nodded at this while looking over the contract. It looked simple and straight forward to him and there didn't seem any loop-holes in Seeker's favor. With another nod, Harry turned his attention back to Ragnorock.

"There is also the fact that your father held seats within the Wizengamot, the wizarding government, which allows the family to vote on important matters. The amount of votes a family is able to cast depends on their standing as well as their fortune. If the family is a Noble family, then they hold one vote, an Ancient family holds two, a Noble and Ancient family holds three, and any combination of a Most Noble and Most Ancient family has four. Do you understand so far?"

"What do you mean by any combination of Most Noble and Most Ancient?"

"A family is considered Most Ancient if they are able to trace their wizarding linage on both side to 15 wizards and/or witches. This is very rare since no muggle or muggleborn are counted as wizarding lineage. Since most families has at least one muggle or muggleborn in their line, very few are able to be considered Most Ancient. The only example I can give you are the Blacks. They are called the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black, which means that they automatically get four votes. On the other hand, there are more Most Noble houses. A family gets that by continually improving the wizarding ward for at least six generations within a ten generation span. An example of this is the Ancient and Most Noble House of McStine. They created potions and improved healing techniques that saved many lives within ten generations. It didn't mean that all of the members of the McStine family contributed in that ten generation time, just that six of them were able to improve wizarding life. The matter is usually voted in the Wizengamot upon a nomination. There are also Most Ancient and Most Noble houses, but unfortunately there hasn't been one of those for several generations. Most have either died out due to inbreeding and wars, or have lost heirs that don't know they have a title."

"Okay, I get it now. But you also said something about fortune."

"Yes. A family is able to get up to three extra votes depending on their wealth. Anything up to 100,000 galleons gets one vote. Between 100,001 galleons to 10,000,000 galleons receives two and anything over ten million galleons receives three votes. Both the Blacks and the Potters have a net worth above ten million."

"Meaning that the Potters have six votes to our seat and the Blacks hold seven votes to their seats."

"Correct, and since you are the heir to each of the families it means that you are in control of thirteen votes between the two seats. That can cause a swing towards or against a law or amendment that come through the Wizengamot depending on how close the margin is in voting. It seems that Dumbledore was using these votes to get his way illegally since he claimed to be your magical guardian and was executing your will. This has been forwarded to Madam Bones this morning with the other paperwork since he had no right to vote in such a matter."

"Have you found out other laws that he's broken?"

"We found that he held several Potter heirlooms that have been returned to your heir vault. Here is a list of the items that were returned to you. He was also been fined the appropriate amount. It also seems that the sealing of your parent's will was also done illegally. The only way he was able to get away with that was because it was a crazy time. Everyone was either celebrating Voldemort's demise or was mourning the loss of family members. Nobody noticed that he used an old law that was usually used against families that have been convicted of breaking serious laws that will cost them half of their lifetime in jail. With these as well as the abuse he allowed with you, Madam Bones might be able to get Dumbledore some jail time."

"You don't think that she will be able to do better? You make it sound like she's incompetent."

"On the contrary, she is one of the few ministry workers that can actually get the job done. It's just that I have seen men like Dumbledore. They create this image that makes it seem like they are impossible of doing any wrong, no matter if there is a mountain of evidence wrapped up for them." Harry could understand that, since his 'relatives' were like that. The Dursleys were a good, normal family that took in an orphan. It didn't matter that said orphan was always in Dudley's cast-offs, skinny as a bone, and constant injuries that never got treated, let alone the mountain of chorus that he had to do. Yet none of the neighbors or teachers did anything about it since the Dursleys were seen as the pillars of the community that could do no wrong. So Ragnorock wasn't dismissing Madam Bones' ability, but Dumbledore's image to the people. With a sigh, Harry turned his attention back to the goblin before him.

"Is there anything else that you found out before I go and collect my school supplies?"

"Not at the moment. The portkey and mailbox will be ready for you on your way out. Here is the report from the healers and a weeks' worth of potions that you will need as well as a list of places that you can order them from. You can also request that the school's mediwitch administer them to you. We will also be appointing you one of our workers to help you with your supplies and making sure that you make it to the Sight Inn. Do not fight this Mr. Potter, you are underage. Even us goblins will not allow you to go off on your own." Harry pouted at that, but thought about it for a moment. He was in a new world, and it wouldn't hurt to have someone who actually knew magic to watch over him before going off to Hogwarts.

"Fine, but am I able to get some of the heirlooms that are in my vault?"

"Yes, although I suggest that you wait until Dumbledore is out of Hogwarts. He might try something and anything to get them back. Do you still wish to retrieve them?"

"No, I'll wait. Is there anything else we need to go over before I go?"

"Yes. Since both your father and godfather named you their heirs, you are able to receive the heir rings of both houses. The rings will help you from all minor curses, love spells and potions, and most mind magicks." Ragnorock took out two different boxes that had crest on both of them. Harry assumed that they belonged to each family and decided to get a book on crest for the future. "Place the Potter ring on your right ring finger and then place the Black ring on behind the Potter ring. This will show people who is your main family and what others you are to inherit." Harry did what Ragnorock told him. The Potter ring was the first to go on his finger, followed by the Black ring. Both glowed and heated up before resizing to fit Harry's finger.

"No one but you will be able to take the rings off. Anyone who tries will be dealt with by the ring's defenses, which will be anything from stunning the person for a few hours to death. It all depends on the family magicks that is imbedded within the ring(s)." Harry nodded his head before something crossed his mind.

"Have you found out anything about Sirius Black yet, or is that going to be covered in our next meeting?"

"At the moment we have just started looking into it. I have sent a request over to Madam Bones to look into his case as well. This might take time to figure out since most of the records from that time are a mess at best."

"Well, thank you. It will be good to figure out what went on. How about the wills my parents had?"

"The wills have been found. We are sending out letters to those who have been named in the wills. The reading is scheduled for September 8th at 10am. A copy of the wills will be given to Madam Bones to go towards the case against Dumbledore. After that, I'm sure that Madam Bones will want to talk to you about any questions she may have as well as give you information about what's going on. Again, if anyone tries to interfere, they will be arrested for it, so don't hesitate to inform either her or myself." The smile Ragnorock gave Harry made him second guess informing him at all. It looked like Ragnorock would enjoy whatever punishment dealt out a little too much for Harry's comfort. Harry decided that he should probably get going before Ragnorock decided to show him how goblins punished those who wrong their clients.

"Thank you for all the information that you've given me as well as healing me from my relatives 'care'. I believe that I should start retrieving my school supplies so I can be prepared for when school starts." Ragnorock nodded while activating the rune on his desk. A goblin runner, different than before, came into the room.

"Please take Mr. Potter to the front of the bank. Curse breaker Tombs should be waiting for Mr. Potter."

"Yes, sir."

"Be well, Mr. Potter. May your gold flow."

"Thank you again, Ragnorock, and may you gold flow as well." Harry followed the goblin out of the door toward the front lobby. Ragnorock sighed before looking at his desk. There still was much to do concerning Mr. Potter's accounts and others that were stressful under the best of circumstances. Add in Albus Dumbledore and the idiot humans that ran the wizarding world, it caused the goblin leader to become irritated. Luckily Riphound was there to take the edge off. Too bad he wished for a quick death. With another sigh, Ragnorock got back to work straightening out the mess before him.
