Cedric looked about his room in wonder, it was large and elegantly furnished. He'd always thought he was not special, but when he had woken the first thing he saw was Harry holding Draco malfoy. Harry, Hermione, Luna and Draco had walked Cedric to a room where he could sit.
"So explain it all again for me" Cedric said in confusion. Harry sighed and said "do you remember the graveyard?" Cedric nodded. "Well, you were killed by Wormtail. He brought Voldemort back and he and I dueled. Our wands connected on a magical level, releasing all the ghost of the people killed with Voldemort's wand, and your ghost asked me to take your body back to your parents.
"I did and they were grateful. The ministry lied to the world by saying that I needed the spotlight and that your death was an accident. The minister sent a toad of a witch to school, where she tried to overthrow the headmaster. I saw a vision of my Godfather being tortured by Voldemort in the Ministry and along with several friends went to rescue him. Turns out it was a trap and Sirius was killed by Bellatrix Lestrange. The headmaster dueled Voldemort and revealed him to the ministry. "
Cedric was confused. "So how did you end up here?" Harry smiled
"the headmaster was behind me living with abusive muggles, they were paid to abuse me. I turned my back on the weasleys as there was a contract forcing me to marry Ginny. I found my Maternal Grandfather who taught me what I am. I am a Veela and when I returned to Hogwarts, the headmaster tried to convince me to stay, but I wanted to leave. Draco and Hermione came along to as they had been placed under compulsions to be my friend and enemy. We've been here ever since, and Draco and I are Mated and expecting Twins."
The news of his pregnancy came as a shock to everyone. Luna smiled and Hugged him as did Hermione. Both had tears in their eyes, and Nick congratulated the pair. Cedric smiled and added his wishes.
An owl flew in the window and Dropped off a letter to Harry from Gringotts. Frowning slightly he tore open the letter and read aloud.
"Dear his Royal Highness Prince Harry Potter of the Veela Nation,
Please be advised that the Will of your mother and Father has been delivered to us By the IWC. we request that you and your family attend the reading of the Will. please note that the Weasleys and the Headmaster are allow required to attend. The date for the reading had been set for the 10th of September.
May your Gold ever flow"
Harry frowned. "Why are they needed? What could they possibly want?" sighing he sat down on the bed and Draco wrapped his arms around him. "Harry we will go with you, you won't face them alone" he whispered.
"The 10th? That's tomorrow" Hermione gasped. Nick stood. "Well then, it seems we will be going to Gringotts. Hermione, Luna, Cedric please pack a bag each. Draco and Harry please do the same."
"Grandfather, why will Cedric be coming?" Draco asked in confusion. Since Mating with Harry, He'd been asked to call Nick Grandfather. "So that he can be reinstated as Diggory heir" Nick replied casually. "That makes sense I suppose" Draco agreed.
After an hour, they stood in the Queen's antechamber and fare-welled the Queen. Pulling out a belt, Nick passed it along so everyone was holding it. "On three. 1, 2, and 3" they vanished with a faint pop.
Only to reappear at the entrance to the Leaky cauldron in London. Booking three rooms for the night, Luna, Hermione and Draco all headed to Diagon Alley for some things. Harry stayed in his room and napped while Cedric talked with Nick who filled him in on the founders and the Rulers.
Draco, Luna and Hermione returned to find Harry asleep while Cedric and Nick were playing exploding snap. Draco smiled and slipped in to bed beside Harry and snuggled close. Everyone else went to bed too not long after.
September 10th dawned windy and cold. The group made their way to Gringotts and were immediately given a large room, with a large table running its length and mugs of steaming Hot chocolate to warm up. Everyone but Nick drank theirs with delight.
An hour later, the Headmaster and Mrs weasley along with Ginny and Ron entered the room with Grip hook. Grip hook sat at the head of the table and harry sat on the right side. The headmaster sat opposite him.
"We are here today to read the Will of James and Lily Potter."he opened a rather large looking folder and read out:
"The last will and testament of Lily and James Potter,
It is our wish that should we die, Harry is to be placed with either his Godfather Sirius Orion Black or his Godmother Alice Long-bottom. Under no circumstances is he to be placed with Petunia and Vernon Dursley.
We leave a curse to Peter Pettigrew, who betrayed us to Voldemort. We also leave a warning to Dumbledore and the Weasleys about trying for Harry's money. If he hasn't received them we leave our journals and a box of his baby things.
That concludes the combined will.
Now for the individual wills.
Lily Potter,
Harry I leave you the books on Veela, and the history of My father's family. May you find it useful.
I also leave you with the following advice: Do not trust Albus Dumbledore or the weasleys. They have already tried to force your father to sign a betrothal contract for you and their youngest child. Refuse any contracts that come to you from them.
James Potter,
Harry I leave you with the potter ring, and the master book to the Potter library. It is larger than the schools library. You also have my seats on the wizengamot as well as the rings of: Potter, Peverell and Hogwarts.
So mote it be"
And Grip hook fell silent. Looking at the headmaster he rumbled "do you dispute any of the will?" Dumbledore stood. "I have here a copy of the Will but it mentions nothing of the rings. Please read the and compare it with the one you have just read".
Harry asked "why? Why did you place me with those horrid muggles when my Mother clearly wrote I was not to go to them?" he glared at Dumbledore. "Harry my boy, i-" he broke off as Grip hook clicked his fingers "lord Potter. Upon reading this farce of a copy of your parents Will, I must apologize on behalf of the goblin nation. It seems that THIS Will" he held up the copy, "is the one these people have been following and using to draw money from both your family vault and your personal vault.
Please rest assured that for you, the heir of Veela we will recover the stolen losses." he turned to the weasleys. "You have stolen money from Lord Potter. Your house lies on his Lands and so we will be garnishing the money from the head of" he broke off as Harry spoke "no. Mr Weasley is a friend. As are Bill and Charlie. Please don't punish them for the crimes of the rest of the family."
Grip hook nodded "very well. As you command your highness." Ron snorted "so you are a prince now? You'd have to be to marry that Git" he pointed at Draco. "Ronald!" Hermione gasped in horror. Ron turned to her "and you are no better! I loved you and yet you ran off with them!" he yelled. "you didn't love me, you tried to control me. You are lazy and arrogant and jealous. You need others to prop you up, well guess what Ron? I don't like you anymore." Hermione seethed, and Cedric leaned forwards "please all of you calm down. The anger and stress can not be good for Harry"
Ginny's eyes widened "what Did you say? Why not?" she demanded. "Never mind She weasel" Draco snapped, and Ron lunged for him. There was a loud bang and Ginny was bound to Ron, and both were gagged. "That's better." nick said as he pocketed his wand.
"Now Harry, I demand to know how Cedric Diggory is alive." Dumbledore said. "You don't know of the Rulers of All Magic?" harry asked in surprise. "He is alive thanks to Magic, and that is all" he turned to Grip hook
"Please ensure that the headmaster pays back everything that he stole plus interest" Grip hook nodded and clicked his fingers. "Done" he intoned. "We wish to have a meeting with the managers of the potter, Granger, Lovegood, Malfoy and Diggory accounts" harry said rising to his feet.
"Let me rid us of these filth and then I shall fetch the others" Grip hook said. He walked the weasleys and Dumbledore out of the room and returned 10 minutes later with 4 other Goblins.
"Please allow me to present: Blood claw, Bodkin, Morgrim and snap claw" Grip hook intoned and each goblin bowed to Harry, Nick and Draco. "Welcome now, we wish to combine the Malfoy and Potter Vaults." Draco said with a hint of command. "I am citing clause 199 of the wizard Goblin treaty. It so stipulates that the head of a family shall remain as head unless accused of committing an act of violence against the heir. My father has placed me under the imperious curse and used me to abuse my mother. He has also raped me. I swear on my magic" Draco announced with anger in his voice. He lit the tip of his wand with lumos to prove he still had his magic
Blood claw looked ashen. "Very well then, you are now the Lord of Malfoy, a letter shall be sent to Lucius informing him thus."
"Snap claw, it's me Cedric. I wish to reinstated as family heir" Cedric said. "How? Your father was given every assurance that you were dead my lord. How?" Nick spoke then "the Rulers of Magic revived him". The Goblins then bowed to Cedric.
"Lord Potter? You are so named as the heir of: Potter, Peverell, Black and Hogwarts, as well as Gryffindor, ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Do you wish to claim these titles?" Grip hook asked.
Harry nodded and was give 7 rings, he asked "can you combine the founders rings and the Hogwarts ring, as well as the vaults?" the Goblins all nodded.
The group all rose and after thanking the goblins they departed. Again they all held the belt as Nick apparated them Home.
