Harry entered the Headmistress' Office when he saw Tombs' coming out of the fire place. Harry tripped in his surprise and barely caught himself. Tombs didn't hold back his chuckle. Harry's glare was cut off when he heard a trilling laugh coming from the bird perch on the other side of the room. There Harry saw the most amazing bird he's ever seen. The bird was bigger than most and his feathers looked like fire.

"Beautiful isn't he, Mr. Potter?" Harry could only nod at the Headmistress's words. "This is Fawkes. He's been staying at the school off and on for a couple of centuries now. If you already haven't guessed, he's a Phoenix." Harry couldn't help himself from going over and petting Fawkes, who cooed at the pampering.

"Wow. Your feathers are so soft. I think there even softer the Hedwig's. Don't tell her that though. I think she'll be mad if she found out I said that." Fawkes seemed to agree. If Harry was paying attention to the adults and paintings in the room, he would have seen their surprise. Fawkes rarely allowed people to pet him on their first meetings.

"Alright kid. I know that he's an amazing bird," (Glare from said bird.) "but we have to get going if we want to get your appointment on time." Harry nodded his head and gave Fawkes one more pet before moving away.

"Thank you Headmistress for allowing me to use your office."

"It's no problem, Mr. Potter. I'm sure that Fawkes would be here for a good petting once you get back. That is if Hedwig doesn't get jealous." Harry could tell that she was joking by the little smile she was sporting. Harry couldn't help from blushing.

"From what the kid has written me about the owl, it seems that it might happen."

"It's not my fault that you got me a high strong bird, no matter how wicked she is. She almost took someone's figure off when they went for the last piece of bacon."

This time Doris couldn't keep from letting a chuckle escape. Thankfully the second year managed to keep all digits, but after that Doris noticed that no one went for the bacon until after Hedwig got her pick. Most of the teachers couldn't help to chuckle at it. Hedwig also preening Harry's hair at least twice before flying off didn't help matters either.

Harry on the other hand couldn't help to blush. He knew that Hedwig scared some of his housemates. Thankfully, the teachers didn't learn about her attacking one of the older years who was making fun of him yesterday. Hedwig came out of nowhere and started scratching at the boy. Thankfully she stopped when Harry called Hedwig to him before her claws could do any serious damage. The older boy walked away with some scratches that were easily heeled by one of his friends. After that, everyone had kept their distance.

"Come on, Harry. Even though making you blush is fun, we have a full morning." Harry nodded one at Tombs before thanking the Headmistress again.

"Alright, Harry. We are going to be using the Floo network. It's going to be a little disorienting, but you'll get used to it after a while. You're going to travel with me the first time and we'll see how you fair. The trick is to say the destination clearly after throwing down the Floo powder and stepping in. You should also take a big breath after saying the address. The network isn't the cleanest and you don't want to be coughing up soot afterwards."

"You sure this is safe then?"

"Yeah, it's safe. The only thing you have to worry about is accidently ending up in the wrong place. But since we're going together this time, it's not going to happen. One more tip before we go. When the Floo is about to toss you out, do a little hop. It will help keep you from tripping over yourself or ending up on the floor." Harry looked at the fireplace with hesitation. Harry had a feeling where the story of Hansel and Gretel came from before walking towards Tombs.

"If I fall I'm taking you down with me."

"That's the spirit." Tombs arranged Harry besides him after throwing down the Floo Powder and shouted 'Diagon Alley'.

00000 Gringotts 00000

Harry and Tombs came out of The Leaky Cauldron without any problems. Harry managed to keep his footing, even if he stumbled a little. Tombs managed to make sure he didn't fall before cleaning off the soot from them both. They both said hi to Tom before going to Diagon Alley.

"Tom is one of the few places that has a public Floo, so most get routed here unless there are a lot of people trying to get here. Luckily for Tom that doesn't happen often, so he gets a lot of business from people passing through."

"Wow. That's really smart. Why doesn't anyone else do that?"

"Some of the other businesses do, but a lot of them who don't are protecting their merchandise. They don't want anyone coming in through the Floo, take a candy bar or Potion's ingredient and leave without paying. So the only time the business owners opens the Floo to the public is when there is an emergency or if the customer has an appointment."

"Makes since. Do any of the other alleys have a something like the Leaky Cauldron?"

"Yes. You just have to say the name of the street or alley you want and the Floo will take you there." Harry nodded at this.

Both of them walked in silence the rest of the way to the bank. Thankfully, there weren't a lot of people out, but those who were there didn't give them that much attention. Tombs was glad of this. He wasn't under any delusions that if there were a lot of people here, they would be mobbed with people trying to ask Harry some questions or get an autograph. This didn't mean that wouldn't happen on their way back. The trial of Crouch and Dumbledore was the biggest, most talked about event in the last decade.

Even if Harry wasn't attending Crouch's trial, people would still want to talk with Harry. Tombs made a mental note to ask for some help tomorrow. He wasn't going to take any chances with the amount of press this weekend was getting. The only person who seemed to be enjoying themselves was the reporters, especially Rita. The amount of stories she's been writing has flooded the papers and magazines so much he wouldn't be surprised if she was making more than some bankers at the moment.

But he didn't allow himself to think about it much. It wasn't his business and he had Harry to look after. Even if they were close to the bank, it didn't mean that somebody wouldn't pop up do something, good or bad. Glancing at Harry, Tombs could see that he was nervous but trying to hide it. Tombs wasn't surprised that the eleven year old could hide some of his emotions. He was sure that Harry showing emotions while in those 'monsters' care was one of the ways he got out of a worse beating or punishment. Letting out a sigh, Tombs nodded at the bank guards before speaking again.

"I'll take you to Ragnorock now. Hopefully he has been able to straighten out everything with your accounts to go over everything with you in one go. With the biggest trials going on this weekend, I'm sure that it's going to be a mad house in a hour or two."

"Let's hope. I'm just glad that I'm going to Dumbledore's trial and not Crouch's."

"Yeah. Just a warning though. The press is probably going to be there in mass tomorrow at Dumbledore's trial, along with the general public. I'm sure that no matter the outcome of the trial, you are going to be mobbed. I'm going to be asking for some more guards to help with tomorrow, but I just wanted to tell you what to expect. I'll make sure to get you out of there carefully either way. Just know that you don't have to answer any questions and you can release a statement through Rita if you want."

"Thank you, Tombs."

"No problem, Harry. And it looks like we're here." Tombs nocked on the door before opening it for Harry. "Have fun, kid." Harry gave him a look before going into Ragnorock's office.

The office seemed to be a little neater than before. Harry could tell there were a few more file cabinets behind Ragnorock that had family crest on them, including his own as well two or three he was able to recognize. Ragnorock was sitting at his desk shuffling some papers before looking up.

"Ahh, Mr. Potter, I mean Harry, it is good to see you. I hope that you are in good health?"

"Yes, Ragnorock. I hope the same of you."

"Yes. Now, take a seat and we can get down to business. As you know, we already retrieved the money and items that Dumbledore took from you. After that, it was just finding out what was registered to your family's vaults and making sure everything was where it was supposed to be. Thankfully, your ancestors registered everything of value, even if Gringotts weren't holding the items. This is a list of the properties, items, and where they are held." Harry took the file and had a quick look at it before returning his attention to Ragnorock.

"What I wanted to go over with you is the business ventures that your family is invested in. It seems that Dumbledore took that over and sold some of the stock that you had. We are trying to get them back if we can since they were illegally sold. On the off chance that we can't, Dumbledore will have to return what he sold them for as well as any future earnings the stocks would of given you. We might be able to fine him if the loss is great enough."

"How much is enough?"

"If over 40% of your assets are unrecoverable, we will be able to go after him. Either way, I will keep you informed of our progress. Now on to those that you do have. Here is a list of business and properties that you have an ownership in. You own 14% of Honeydukes Company Ltd., 15% of The Daily Profit, 10% of Lees & Sons Construction, 22% of Bramble Fields, 5% of Royal, 38% of Runes Recitals, 15% of Rhubarb & Thistle, 45% of Kwikspell, 23% of DAF, 13% of Chester Stevens Estate Agency, 49% of Magic Translator, 24% of Witch Watchers, 11% of Golden Pole, 20% of Rosie's Garden Seed Company, 15% of Rosenbaum's, 32% of Wandingtons, 22% of Zonko's Joke Shop, and 16% of Sullivan Buses. Here are brief bios about each company and how each of them is going. None are losing any money, but some aren't doing as well as they use to be. I've made some notes at the bottom of each bio for you to look over."

"Is there a list of what Dumbledore took from me?"

"Yes." Ragnorock looked through some papers before pulling one out. With a wave of his hand, a copy was handed to Harry.

"As you can see, he usually sold off a little of those you already held. Royal, Lees & Sons Constructions and Honeydukes Company Ltd. are only a few that he sold off along with all the muggle companies that your family owned. We've determined that you've lost between 18% and 45% of business holdings thanks to Dumbledore. We will have a more definitive number once we're done and able to calculate the loses and what we can or can't get back." Harry nodded his head while looking them over.

"What if I only wanted a select few of my investments back?"

"Then if the remaining lose is equal or over 40%, then we can fine Dumbledore. Once we are done with the overview, we can go over which stocks you want us to recover and the ones we can leave alone." Harry nodded at this. He and Ragnorock continued on with their meeting.

00000 9:50am, Potter Will Reading, Severus Sanpe 00000

Severus Snape was sitting in the conference room waiting for the will reading to begin. He was surprised at the amount of people here. He didn't think that so many people would be named in their wills, especially since it was war time, but then he realized that many of the people here were Order members. It was still surprising to him though.

There were those here that didn't surprise him like the Bones, Lupin, and Black. Although it looked like Black should still be under Healer care getting a couple more potions forced down his throat. Lupin didn't look much better now he had a good look at him.

Bones on the other hand looked strong, although uncomfortable by the looks of it, and Black was the cause by the looks they would shoot at each other. Severus had to withhold a snort. Most in the room didn't notice, but it was obvious to those paying attention that something was going on between the two. Hopefully the two flirting with each other wouldn't distract her from charging Dumbledore with more crimes if possible.

Andromeda Tonks, Stephanie Williams, and Connie Moore being at the will readings were a slight surprise though. Andromeda was above them at Hogwarts and to his knowledge didn't talk to either Potter or Lily. Nor were anyone of them an Order member. But thinking about it, they could have become friends after Hogwarts. Severus wasn't known to be the most sociable so he wasn't sure who made friends with whom after graduation.

Stephanie Williams on the other hand was one of Potter's five minute girlfriends during fifth year. Severus remembered making fun of her with Lily since Stephanie was dramatic over the entire thing. Last he remembered, Stephanie and Potter didn't talk after their little relationship, no matter how much Stephanie tried to change that.

Connie Williams was another surprise. She and Lily once were the best of friends until Connie realized that her boyfriend at the time liked Lily more than herself. They had this big argument in front of the entire school during lunch. It eventually came to wands. Both of them had to go to Hospital Wing for two days to have the curses removed. The Healer at the time was not amused since they brought some other students with them that got caught in the crossfire. Connie and Lily held the record for the longest detentions for the year if he remembered correctly.

Severus was brought out of his thoughts when another person came into the room. Harry walked in with a slightly dazed look on his face. It looked like the time reviewing his accounts was well spent if he had that look. Merlin knows he sometimes got that look after a long time with his account manager.

Severus looked around to see where Harry would sit and found out that there were only two seats left. One by him and the other by Black. It seems that Black noticed this too by the smug look on his face.

"Harry, come sit over here. We saved a seat for you!" Black was waving his arms like Harry wouldn't be able to see him. Harry looked around before spotting the chair by Severus. He couldn't help the little smirk that came over him when he waved Harry over. The look that came over Black's face when Harry came over was priceless. When Harry stopped in front of him, Severus brought the photo album out of his robes and enlarged it.

"I had hoped to catch you before you left this morning. I thought that you would have liked this."

"What is it?"

"Some pictures of your mother and me. We use to be friends before we had an argument over my stupidity." Severus might have no intentions of telling Harry why Lily and his friendship ended any time soon, but he had no delusions that Black would let it slip. But at the moment, Severus didn't care because Harry's face was priceless.

Harry's face brightened so much that it caused Severus a pang in his heart. He was sure that this would be the first time Harry saw his mother since he was a baby. It made him want to hunt down Petunia even more for what she did to Harry.

"If you wish to hear stories about her, you can come to my office after dinner. Just make sure to send me a note to make sure I don't have any appointments."

"Thank you very much, sir. I really appreciate this." Snape nodded his head. There was nothing else to say with all the people around watching them. Severus was sure that if he showed any more kindness that many would pass out. Severus cleared his throat before speaking again.

"It looks like Black wants you to sit with him."

"Yeah. Would you mind if I sat with you for this? I can talk to him after this."

"Of course, Mr. Potter." Harry sat down with a thankful smile. It was soon after Harry sat down that a goblin came in.

"I am Slambound. I will be reading the wills of Lord James Potter and Lady Lily Potter ne Evans. Everyone in this room is either named in the will or a representative. The only time someone isn't able to receive the item(s) named to them is if they have committed a crime against the Potter House or had passed away without an approved claimant. Since Lord Potter was the first to perish, his will is the first to be read." Slambound unrolled a parchment with the Potter family crest on it.

"I, Lord James Potter, of sound mind and body, hereby make my last will and testament. All other will and testaments are null and void. To my wife, Lady Lily Potter ne Evans, I give her control of the Potter funds and holdings until Heir Harry Potter is able to take over as Lord of the Noble and Ancient House of Potter. After my Heir takes control, Lady Potter will receive 10 million galleons and residence within Potter Manor.

"To my friend Sirius Black, I give 500,000 galleons and my deep thanks for your friendship and courage in being the decoy. I also claim you as my son's guardian if my wife, Lady Potter, is unable to care for him. Sirius, I know that you are a good man underneath all the joking and bravo, you just have to allow yourself to be and not worry that you will end up like your family. Being a pureblood doesn't mean following in your parents' footsteps.

"To my friend Remus Lupin, I give you 2 million galleons and Hollows Cottage. This is something that you can't give back, Remus, so enjoy it and start living life. You are a good man, no matter what anyone else says. You just have to believe that.

"To Lord and Lady Longbottom, I give you 100,000 galleons and the silver jewelry box, the goblins will know which one. I am sure that you will love what is in it. To the Longbottom Heir I give 500 galleons to be deposited in the Longbottom Heir account. Let us hope the Longbottom Heir has the money since of his father and the backbone of his mother. Merlin knows he'll need it to deal with him grandmother."

Neville flushed at this while Augusta pursed her lips. Neville could see some of the people near him give sympathetic looks. Most knew how strong willed and overbearing Augusta could be. It took her six months to accept her new daughter-in-law and that was only after being threatened by her son to either be nice or never see any future grandchildren. Of course she chooses the former option and was able to build a good relationship with her new daughter.

Neville on the other hand was embarrassed that someone else was hoping he would be like his parents, even from the grave. His grandmother made it clear that he was a disappointment since he wasn't like his father. He never felt like he was worthy enough for anything, even if he was one of Harry Potter's best friends. The only time he had a kind word from his grandmother was when he was put in Gryffindor like his father.

Severus was looking at Neville and Augusta. Something in their reactions unsettled him and he made a mental note to talk to Minervia about it. Augusta was known to be a hard woman and took her son's health hard. Severus was hoping that she didn't take it too hard or out on Neville. Severus listened to other people receive money and trinkets until he heard his name.

"To Severus Snape, I give you 1 million galleons, rare potion supplies and my apologies to how I treated you. I should never have behaved that way towards you and I am sorry for all the pain I caused you. I am also sorry for ruining your friendship with Lily. The only thing that I can say is that I was jealous of your relationship and I was afraid that you would get her love before I had the chance. We both know that you were the better man for her. I hope you can forgive me and I thank you for warning us about the danger to my family. The life debt owed to the Noble and Ancient House Potter has been fulfilled and forgiven. So mote it be."

Severus was shocked to say the least and if he had enough since, he would have noticed the other shocked looks. He would have never thought that James Potter would admit to any wrong doing and call him the better man in anything. It took him a while to get over his shock and by then Slambound finishing up the will.

"And to my son and Heir, Harry Potter, I give you the remaining Potter fortune and properties. All properties are on lockdown, except Potter Manor and listed rentals, until the claiming of the Potter Lordship. Afterwards, all properties, buildings, and homes that are not already rented out to people and/or businesses are open to my Heir. I also pass on the family magicks and knowledge to my only Heir, Harry Potter.

"Within the main Potter vault there are diaries of all Potter Lords since the beginning. These diaries are the only property that can be given to my Heir from the main Potter vault until Harry claims his Lordship. Through these diaries, you will learn everything that I am unable to teach you. You will also find a diary for yourself to write it. Use it to tell your story and any important finds to pass on to future generations. Be well my son.

"I, Lord James Potter hereby name these people to watch over my Heir in the event neither I nor my wife can care for him. Sirius Black, Minerva McGonald, Lady and Lord Longbottom, Amelia Bones, Severus Snape, and Mitchell Stine. Under no condition is Harry Potter allowed to go to Lily's sister and brother-in-law Petunia and Vernon Dursley. I, Lord James Potter hereby conclude my last will and testament. May I be buried with my ancestors with my wife in the family graveyard at Potter Manor."

Slambound set the will aside and looked around the room. He could see some were still in shock over what they themselves were given or what was given to others. He could understand that and if Dumbledore had allowed the wills to be read, than all of this pain wouldn't be dragged up again. Withholding a sigh, Slambound got the rooms attention again.

"Any and all monies, property, and land will be given to you after the final will is read. If you received any property, the deed and location will be given to you as well as the condition of the land and any buildings. If you have any questions about what you received, investing or any business opportunity, please make an appointment with a teller on your way out. Your account manager will go over the options with you or you will be assigned one if you do not have one. The reading of Lady Lily Potter ne Evans will is next.

"I, Lady Lily Potter ne Evans, of sound mind and body, hereby make my last will and testament. All other wills and testaments are null and void. To my husband, Lord James Potter, I give control to the Evans' accounts. To my son, Heir Harry Potter, I give all of my notes except for the copies mentioned.

"To Sirius Black, I give you my notes on Battle Charms. I know that you don't like to think about your family, but that doesn't mean you should shun all of the gifts they have given you. You are the best out of everyone with Battle Charms and I'm sure you will be able to take my notes and research farther than I. Hopefully, you will be able to teach Harry when he gets older. But, Sirius, if you try to make my son into a mini-replica of James I will hex you from the grave. Harry will be his own person, so if he isn't that big on pranks, or bullying, like you lot did at Hogwarts then that is okay.

"To Remus Lupin, I give you 10,000 galleons, copies of my research journals, and my mystery novels that you liked so much. Remus, please go and live your life. Find love, happiness, and prosperity. Your fear will do nothing but cause those who doubt you to win and you are better than that. If that was the case, then you wouldn't have our love and support. You are the brother that I always wanted. Make sure to watch over Harry and Sirius. We both know that Sirius will need a few hard slaps to be the responsible adult that he has buried deep inside. Don't be afraid to give him those slaps, Sirius will thank you in the long run.

"To Severus Snape, I give you all of my Potion research, my Spell Crafting research and my upmost apologies. I am so sorry for the way that I treated you after fifth year. I know that you didn't mean what you called me, unfortunately I let my stubbornness and fear get in the way. I knew your magicks was aligned to the Dark, unfortunately it wasn't until later in life did I understand that it didn't make you evil. I always blamed myself for you joining the Death Eaters, and I am so sorry for my actions that lead you down that path. I know it was your decision, but I also know you refused them until I stopped having faith in your goodness. Please know that no matter what, I will always love you and think of you as my best friend. Thank you for warning us about Voldemort coming after us. Please look after Harry for me."

Severus was once again stunned. He barely noticed Black hyperventilating in his seat.

She forgave him. Lily forgave him for what he did all those years ago, and wanted him to look after her son. Severus was under no delusions that it was her that talked Potter into naming him a possible guardian to Harry. The thought almost crushed him with guilt. All the things that he did and held onto ,and the only thing he got for it was misery and loneness. Severus knew his faults, his sins, and his cowardice caused many people pain and death. But Lily still wanted him to watch after her son.

Severus bowed his head. Severus promised himself that he will start to let go of the hatred that he had for James Potter and the guilt he carried over Lily's death. He was going to be a better person, the person that Lily believed him to be. Lifting his head up, Severus caught Harry looking at him. Those eyes that were so much like Lily's but his completely his own, looked at him with so much emotion, especially sadness. The tears that escaped Harry weren't noticed by anyone else except Severus before being wiped away.

"May we talk after dinner, sir?" Harry's voice was so small that Severus barely heard him, but he did and his answer was immediate.

"Yes, Mr. Potter, we can." Harry sent Severus a little smile before turning his attention back to the will reading. Severus followed his lead, hoping the talk he was about to have wasn't about to destroy what little control he had over his emotions.

00000 Sirius Black, POV 00000

Sirius was glad that he was able to come to the will reading today. The Healers didn't want to let him leave, but they eventually did with the promise of him returning before 2pm. Remus also had to promise that he would make Sirius eat something if they were out past noon.

Sirius only wished that his first day out of St. Mungo's wasn't to hear his best friends' wills. He never thought that he would be doing this. Even though they were at war, out of all of them, Sirius thought that he would be the first to go. It was one of the reasons that he named Harry as his heir. The thought of going out in a blaze of glory against his family sounded like the perfect way to go. That it was protecting his friends and leaving a part of the Black fortune toward the Light was even better.

But then that rat, Wormtail betrayed them all. Lily and James were dead, he was sent to Azkaban and Remus no longer had the pack. Not only that, but Harry was sent to live with Petunia and suffered at her hands because she was jealous of magic and Lily in general. The guilt in knowing that he was the cause by not being the godfather he was supposed to be caused a heaviness in his heart that Sirius doubted would ever go away.

Sirius came out of his thoughts thanks to Remus nudging him and showing him Harry coming into the room. Sirius, grinned and called Harry over. He was surprised that Harry went to Snape of all people instead of him.

"Why didn't Harry sit by us? We would have been much better than Snape." Remus didn't miss the disgust in Sirius' voice and had to withhold a sigh. It looked like Sirius wasn't over school day grudges.

"Snape is his Head of House. Not to mention that he might not be comfortable with us yet." Remus didn't mention that Sirius waving his arms like a five year old hyped up on sugar didn't help. Remus had to hope that the Mind Healer would help Sirius with that.

"What do you mean that 'Snape is his Head of House'? Who would hire that greasy git?"

"Sirius! Just because you never liked Snape, doesn't mean he isn't a good teacher. He is the youngest Potions Master in Great Britain and has made a lot of potions over the years. Anyways, Snape is the Slytherin Head of House. Harry wrote us that he was sorted into that House in his letter to us. I would suggest being at least civil to Snape if you want to have a relationship with Harry."

Sirius sat there godsmacked. He never thought anyone would stand up for Snivellus. With a huff, Sirius faced forwards, waiting for the reading to begin. It didn't take long for it to start. Sirius was surprised that both Lily and James apologized to Snape, not to mention naming him as a guardian for Harry.

Sirius looked over at the two to see them sitting together, Harry holding the book Snape gave him. Sirius sneered before turning away. He couldn't believe that his godson would want to sit with that git than with him and Remus. No matter what Remus said, Sirius couldn't think of any reason not to trust that Dark Wizard.

Sirius almost snorted when he heard about Sniveilus warning about Voldemort looking for them. No matter what Albus did after Lily and James' murders, Sirius knows that Albus had another mole in the Death Eater ranks. There was no way Snape would do anything to help James.

When the wills were done, and he got his breathing under control, he claimed the money and items. With that done, Sirius went over to Harry before he could leave. Thankfully for Sirius, Remus followed him to make sure he didn't do anything stupid.

"Harry, I had hoped the you would sit over by Remus and myself."

"Professor Snape wanted to give me this photo album of my mother." That seemed to throw Sirius off a moment and allowed Remus to take over before Sirius did anything stupid. After this Remus was defiantly taking him back to St. Mungo's. He had a feeling that Sirius' mental health was what the Healers were more hesitant about. Remus was sure that the potions and eating requirements could be followed at a house just as easily as St. Mungo's.

"That's nice of him, Harry. Maybe I can find some pictures of your parents as well. Unfortunately we won't have many pictures of your mother, but I'm sure we can collect some pictures for you."

"That sounds great. I should get going though. I have some last minute things to look over with my account manager before I can leave."

"Are you sure you need to be doing that now? I mean, we could get some lunch and I could tell you some stories." Harry hesitated. He really wanted to hear the stories, but he also wanted to wrap up the review of his accounts. Thankfully, Remus saved him from choosing.

"Sirius, Harry has to get back to school soon. You can help me write down some stories for Harry to read. The Healers want you to rest anyway." Sirius pouted at this but nodded.

"Don't worry, Sirius, we'll have all the time in the world to talk to Harry. Until then, we can still write to each other. You still have to focus on getting better and a proper house."

"That's right! I still have the appointment with my account manager anyways. I'll see you later, Harry."

"Sure, Sirius." If Sirius noticed Harry's hesitation, he didn't show it. Remus on the other hand seemed to understand and said goodbye to both Harry and Severus, who didn't go far just in case, before following after Sirius to his appointment. Remus couldn't help but feel that this was going to be a long road of healing before Harry would feel comfortable around Sirius or himself. And that was before Harry finds out that he's a werewolf. Remus hoped that Harry had his parents' understanding, even if he felt he didn't deserve it.

Severus and Harry watched them go. Both had different thoughts about them.

Harry thought that Sirius seemed nice but unhinged. He couldn't help but feel a little hesitant with him, no matter how much he knew about his parents. Their wills didn't help with that regard either. They both said that he and his father were bullies and Harry didn't like that. His father seemed to have felt regret at least, but the look in Sirius' eyes told Harry that he had no regrets. The looks that he sent his Head of House conformed this as well.

Remus was a different story to Harry. He seemed nice and at least understood his hesitation. Remus had this soothing feel about him that allowed Harry to not feel so edgy around him. Remus also seemed to understand that he wasn't going to automatically start trusting adults, never mind Tombs, and that it would take them some time to get to a close relationship.

Severus watched the two men go and let out a small sigh. To him, it looked like Black was deep into the madness his family was so famous for. Severus couldn't help but think that he was a little mad when they were in school. That was the only way Severus could see Black thinking it was okay that one of his 'pranks' would of killed not only him but one of his best friends as well. Severus shook his head.

At least Remus seemed to feel remorse for what happened during his school years. The only thing Severus could blame him for is not doing anything to rain in his friends. He didn't think that they would be the best of friends, but Severus was honest with himself that he would be able to be civil with the werewolf. Trusting either of them on the other hand was another matter.

Bringing his thoughts to the present, he looked down at Harry who was still looking at Black and Lupin. Those two were the only other link to his parents, and no matter the degrees of mistrust he held against the two, Severus had a feeling that they would have to come together to help Harry. Withholding a groan, Severus brought Harry out of his thoughts.

"Mr. Potter, I believe you still have to go and see your account holder after this? Finishing that and making plans for your parents will take a while."

"Plans for my parents, sir?" The confused look that Harry sent Severus made him confused for a moment. Then the realization that Harry never visited his parents' graves or even knew where they were. A flash of anger went through him. Thankfully he held it in before answering Harry.

"Your parents were buried in Godrick's Hollow, not Potter Manor. Since it was stated in your father's will that he wanted both himself and your mother to be buried on Potter Manor, then they need to be moved there. The goblins should be able to do that. The only thing you have to do is allow them into Potter Manor and into the family crept." Harry looked disturbed by this and Severus couldn't blame him.

Severus doubts that he would be able to do the same, even if he didn't hate his parents. His father didn't have any other family thankfully, so burying him was the basic of basics. His mother on the other hand came from the Prince family. And as far as Severus knew, he still had to find out whatever information he didn't know thanks to Dumbledore, she was cast out when she decided the man she was promised to wasn't what she wanted, she fled, embarrassing her parents. Severus would respect her if she didn't marry the first man that showed her any kindness six months later. He didn't know that she was a witch until afterwards. Their marriage went downhill shortly after it and his birth made it worse. Shaking those thought off, Severus returned his attention to Harry.

"I am sure that it can be ready by next weekend."

"But I'll be alone."

"I am sure that you can ask Mr. Nott, Mr. Longbottom, and Mr. Zabini if they are willing to come with you, until you get to the family crept at least. If there is anyone else they can accompany you too if given enough warning." Harry nodded his head, worrying his bottom lip.

"That can be decided later Mr. Potter. Now I suggest you finishing your business. I will see you at the school later." With one last nod, Harry went to the goblin runner waiting for him. Severus shook his head before going to claim what was left to him. Not to mention his own issues to work through.
