Two Days Later

The boy appeared through the fireplace into the Leaky Cauldron with a stumble. Harry stood up covered in soot as he grumbled under his breath about always falling whenever he used the floo network. The boy stepped to the side and started to brush the soot from his clothing. A moment after Harry stepped away the fireplace allowed a tall black wizard with broad shoulders to step through. The man was bald and wore a single gold hoop earring. He was dressed in a set of blue wizard robes with a dragonskin vest about to be stopped to those carefully looking under it. He turned towards the boy and smiled warmly, "Come Harry, I have the rooms prepared."

The man led the boy up the stairs after a wave towards Tom the barkeep. They entered in a room that appeared to be suite; it had a large antechamber filled with couches and a fireplace. Two rooms were set off to the side for bedrooms. Overall Harry felt a warmth from the place, it was definitely a step up from the Dursley family. Between the couches the boy saw a small coffee table with a few books placed onto it. Harry spotted a card on top of the books with his name on it.

Kingsley gave the boy a disarming smile, "Harry, the room on the right will be yours to use. I need to handle a few matters downstairs and setup a few extra wards for your protection. I was told that you were raised by some muggles, so I had my apprentice get you those books on the Wizarding world. I figured that after everything you went through learning a bit about the world you are stuck in might be useful."

Harry blinked in surprise at the kindness of the man then spoke up softly, "Thank you Mr. Shacklebolt."

The man gave a squeeze to the shoulder of the boy, "Just Kingsley is fine Harry. I will be your protector with my apprentice till your situation is settled. Rest and relax for now, just please stay in this room. Now I will be back to check on you in a few hours with some good food."

A few hours later Harry woke from a nap to some knocking on the door. The boy had curled up on the sofa promptly fell asleep. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes he walked over and opened the door. Standing in the doorway was a wizard that appeared to be in his late forties. He had dark black hair falling down his shoulders that was touched with a few lines of grey at the temples. His eyes, a pair bright sky blue that seemed to shine while being settled between a strong nose. The man had a chiseled chin and a businesslike demeanor that was lessened only by the smile he projected towards Harry. He spoke with a deep voice, "Hello Mr. Potter. I am your solicitor Cyrus Greengrass."

Harry blinked in surprise looking the man up and down noticing the expensive leather briefcase for that the first time that the man was holding. The thought just occurred to him that perhaps when the Auror had told him to stay in the room he meant not to open the door to strangers. But, it was too late for that idea, "A solicitor for me?"

A patient smile came over the man's face, "Yes, I notified your protector that I would be coming over. May I come in and explain?"

Harry realized he was keeping the man in the hallway so he stepped aside allowing the man to enter. After closing the door, the boy slipped his left hand into the pocket of his robes holding to the end of his wand as he watched Mr. Greengrass carefully. The man placed down his briefcase on the coffee table before the couch then sat down raising an eyebrow at the boy waiting for him to join the man.

Harry stepped over and sat down on one of the chairs next to the couch as he placed his wand down before himself in easy reach.

The black haired man reached over and placed a large vanilla folder down before Harry that had the name Harry James Potter on the front of it, "Now Harry. You are an important person and your situation is very different than normal for our world. So I have been contacted by Gringotts, due to your family using my firm, to represent your family's interests in the coming trials."

The boy blinked at the man with a frown, "I am important because I am the boy-who-lived? Why would that matter to the goblins?"

The dark haired man shook his head back and forth, No Harry, although it is important to many that you are the boy-who-lived, the goblins do not care for that matter. They only care because your family is rather well off. They view your care as important to your Household as Heir of House Potter and because the recent events of attempted murder, in addition the abusive treatment of your relatives, they wish to make certain that you are being properly raised and cared for. To put it bluntly, you are important to them because of your family fortunes and nobility. If you were to pass away the gold of your family would no longer be available to them to make use of due to the conventions of the goblin wars."

Harry frowned a moment at the idea that Binns class may have actually been useful, he would have to pay attention next year. Then he shook his head and the thoughts away, "What do you mean? I saw my vault it has a few thousand gallons in it only. Why would my family be so important? We are not different then any other wizard family."

Cyrus frowned back at the boy, "You don't know anything of your family history Mr. Potter?"

He let out a frustrated sigh at the shake of the head of the boy, "House Potter has been around since the times of the Romans. They were an important Ancient and Noble House and one of the remaining ten founding families of the Wizengamot. Harry, you are far better off monetary wize then just what you saw in your trust account."

The man paused a moment before he continued, "Mr. Potter, you haven't been told anything about you family? Not even by your relatives or magical guardian?"

The boy frowned at the question before he spoke up, "No, I have a magical guardian?"

The man watched the boy with a frown for long moments then let out a sigh. He stood up closing his briefcase and shrinking it away then looked at the boy, "come let's invenstigate this situation. I was not able to access your parents Will in the Ministry of Magic. It has been sealed there from public view, accordingly for your own protection. But, there is no reason you would not be able to see it."

Harry frowned as he started to follow the man out of the room. Immediately as he stepped room out of the room a pink haired young woman in her late teams seemed to step out of the wall across from the doorway.

The woman looked vaguely familiar from school, she stood around five foot seven with bright pink hair. She wore black robes that seemed to be rather tight against her skin as he noticed a few curves under them. Her feet were in combat boots and her eyes darted around the hallway as she frowned.

Harry assumed that she must be the apprentice that Kingsley had spoken about so he turned to follow Mr. Greengrass whom seemed to ignore the girl. "Where do we go to find my parent's Will if it is sealed Mr. Greengrass?"

The blank haired man stopped and looked back at the boy with a patient smile, "Gringotts Harry. They have all of the Will's on file for the noble families. Even if the Ministry has sealed the Will it would not be sealed by the goblins for a family member."

Harry pulled up the hood of his cloak to shadow his face as he turned to follow Mr. Greengrass again. The trio walked down through the Leaky Cauldron to out the walled entrance to Diagon Alley. When the y reached the brick wall Harry turned to look at the woman still following them with a frown, "I know you but I can't place the face."

Tonks dark eyes scanned over the face of Harry with a warm smile. She had pulled the hood of her Auror cloak up to cover her hair, which Harry noticed was now black instead of bright neon pink. He noticed she had dark brown eyebrows and a smaller cute nose. She offered him a bright smile with shining white teeth as she spoke up, "Am I that forgettable Harry? We were in school together last year. Tonks from Hufflepuff? "

The boy blinked at the cute young woman then smiled brightly, "Now I remember. Yes, you played Beater for their quidditch team right? You are an Auror now?"

The young woman shook her head as the wall opened up by Mr. Greengrass and the trio started to walk towards the goblin bank. While they moved along Tonks spoke with Harry, yet the boy could see her eyes were always shifting around towards buildings and other people. "I am just an apprentice for now to Kingsley. I will be going to Auror training for a year after the Summer, but for today I get to watch you along with Mr. Greengrass. Though, we were not supposed to leave the Leaky Cauldron."

The woman shot a quick glare at Cyrus whom seemed to not notice as they walked up the steps of the six story building of Gringotts Bank. The building was made of white marble with columns raised from the ground to support the second level. The bank seemed to be constructed to lean to the left and right depending on the level.

The trio made it up the steps and entered into the main chamber walking over to the fist goblin teller that was free. The creature looked up and spoke in a rough haggard voice, "What do you want?"

Mg. Greengrass spoke up calmly in return, "We come in the interests of House Potter, we wish to speak with his account manager and view Mr. Potter's Will."

The goblin shifted his gaze from the tall black haired man over to the boy with a perpetual frown which turned to a glare as he noticed the lack of scar on the forehead of the child. "Do you have his key?"

Mr. Greengrass turned to look at Harry whom shook his head slowly negative, "No, I was never allowed to keep the Key."

This of course caused the older man to frown again before he looked back at the goblin, "He will take a blood test to prove whom he is."

The goblin grunted with a frown, "Very well, wait here."

The trio waited for around ten minutes till a small goblin that seemed to have more white hair in it's ears then head walked forward. He looked over the trio stopped his gaze to linger on Harry, "Mr. Potter, I am Grrack. I am the account manager for House Potter. You will follow me for blood testing of lineage and then we can review your family Will."

The goblin turned around and walked down the hallway expecting the trio of humans to follow it. After a few minutes that Harry was certain that he would be lost here after walking through numerous corridors the goblin stopped and looked at the three humans. He spoke gruffly before entering the room. "The solicitor may enter but the woman waits outside. I should also mention that if you are not truly Harry James Potter then the goblin nation has the right to terminate all false claimants on the spot."

Tonks glanced at Harry whom seemed a bit white then settled down on the bench facing the doorway to keep an eye out. She flashed a smile towards Harry the boy seemed to not notice as he walked into the room.

The room was small around ten by ten with plain white walls and a large table in the middle with four chairs. There was a stack of white papers on the table next to a large intricately looking porcelain bowl. The boy was carved with numerous rubes of all different shapes that Harry had never seen before. Laying across the bowl was a large silver knife that too was carved with runes. The goblin sat down in one of the chairs while looking up at Mr. Greengrass and Harry.

The boy swallowed then walked over to sit before the goblin. He felt Mr. Greengrass take the seat next to himself as Grrack spoke up, "Mr. Potter we will perform a blood testing to verify whom you are. This will be allowed to notify all possible claims that you may have on blood relations. Now provide your hand."

Harry let out a sigh, rolled back the sleeve of his too large, faded muggle shirt then reached out his hand towards the goblin.

Grrack took the hand with small, calloused and rough fingers then turned so the wrist facing down before sliding across it with the silver knife.

Harry winced at the cut as his vein was split, watching the blood flow down into the clear rune carved bowl. After a few moments Grrack placed down the knife and plucked up a cloth to press to the wound. The cloth glowed briefly and Harry felt a cooling sensation on his arm. Removing the cloth the boy could see that the cut was no longer there. Under his breath the boy muttered to himself "Wish I had this to deal with the Dursley abuse."

Mr. Greengrass looked over at the boy, catching the words as his lips pressed together into a distinct frown.

The goblin in the meantime had placed a parchment over the top of the bowl. The parchment started to glow crimson color as the blood seemed to disappear from the bowl. A few minutes past in silence before the goblin pulled away the parchment. The boy was spotless as if it had never been filled with blood. The parchment's glow seemed to fade from crimson to a soft blue as Grrack laid it down before the two humans.

Grrack cleared his throat then spoke up, "You are the pureblood son of James of House Potter and Lily of House Golge."

Mr. Greengrass blinked in surprise as a slight frown formed on is lips, "House Golge? I am not familiar with that Household. I thought Lily Potter was named Evans."

Grrack growled in frustration at the humans question before answered, "She was adopted by the muggle family of the Evans Household. As for how, I do not know of human matters like that perhaps something was left to indicate why in her grandmother's vault." The goblin stopped to gaze at Harry closely to see how he was taking the knowledge.

The boy sat perfectly still in concentration over what he had just heard. His mother was adopted. She was not a muggleborn! Hell, he wasn't even related to the Dursley family! Why the fuck was he with the Dursley family then? How was those wards powered?

Harry cleared his throat then spoke up, "Mr. Grrack if a blood ward was set to a location that supposedly used as a connection for my blood to my mother's adopted sister how would it be powdered?"

The goblin frowned and looked at the boy a moment, "There could not be a ward by blood there Mr. Potter. You are not blood related to that muggle family. I would guess that if there was a ward it would then be powered by your own and the casters magic to sustain it."

Harry closed his eyes and thought about how he felt so much weaker whenever he came back home to the Dursley family. Whenever he was at the house he would feel a bitter drain on his body. He would often feel sickly and not well, even though he was never actually sick. It had to be the case that Dumbledore had been using him to power the ward, then perhaps whatever happened to him when Malfoy hit him with the killing curse served that link. Harry's killing curse green eyes snapped open, "The goblins are good curse breakers currect?"

Grrack for a moment looked very insulted, to the point that Harry wondered if he should have asked that question, "We are the best."

Harry's fingertips started to drum onto the tabletop as he frowned, "My account would have enough ti pay for two teams of curse breakers on a rush notice then correct?"

Grrack raised an eyebrow looking between Harry and Mr. Greengrass with a single nod. "Your trust vault would cover the expense. You can not access your main fault value of the Potter family and unfortunately we do not have ant information on what is contained in the House Golge vault in Istanbul. It is quite an expense but your trust vault will refill on your birthday to full."

Harry frowned as he looked down at his knuckles seeming them turn white, so he removed them from the table to fold into his lap. The boy took a deep calming breath, making a note that someday he would need to do something for his anger but for the moment it felt righteous, ""I want to know what the ward is before it disappears. The Headmaster required me to stay at my aunt's residence every year. Supposedly, if I am there I am safe from some ward. I just want to find out why. I will pay the cost to find out what the ward did to me."

Mr. Greengrass slightly frowned at the corners of his lips as he watched the goblin and boy speak, The idea of a blood ward being placed and powered by a child was sickening to the man. He considered someone doing that to his two little girls and became incensed. Blood magic was darker magic and although most old families still used it sometimes for protection to power it with a growing child was unheard of. He spoke up, "We would definitely be interested to determine what Mr. Potter has been subjected to. The sooner these services can be acquired the better."

Grrack frowned then pressed a button on the desk. He pulled out a piece of parchment then passed it to Harry in which the boy read over and signed at once, "This is the authorization for two teams and the fees associated. They will be dispatched within the hour. I will see the report delivered to each of you."

A goblin walked in and picked up the parchment before departed without a word. Once he was gone Grrack turned back to the humans, "Now here is a list of your assets from House Potter. Most of the Potter family assets will not be able to be acquired till after you are considered an adult at fifteen or you have special disposition to emancipate yourself."

Harry took hold of the paper studying it over with a frown. The top of the parchment read the Ancient and Noble House of Potter. Under the heading Harry saw a list of seventy five million gallons in the family vault. His own trust vault was replenished to seven thousand gallons every year. Still with the exchange rate listed ten pounds to a gallon Harry would never need to worry about money in his lifetime. In addition to money there was a list of assets including foreign and domestic businesses in the muggle and magical world including part ownership in the wizard wireless company and Mr. Greengrass firm.

There were six current residence that the Potter family owned. The one he knew about was Godrick's Hallow residence which had been destroyed and left unrepaired. It appeared to have been claimed as a magic historical sight by the Ministry of Magic. Harry was not certain how he felt of the place of his parent's deaths being a considered the Disney World of Magical Britain, but he let that stay for now.

In addition there was Potter Manor which was located in Scotland near Hogwarts actually. Unfortunately, the Manor was also listed as being in ruined condition. Perhaps he could get the goblins to fix the Manor when he became of age to move in. He also owned a flat in downtown London, a second flat in downtown Paris, a house in strangely enough Istanbul. That house begged the question if his mother knew of her heritage. Finally, the most interesting part was that he owned the residence that the Dursleys lived in at number 4 Privet drive. A smirk crossed the lips of Harry as he considered at the Dursleys had never paid him rent.

Harry looked up with a grin splitting his face that the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderful would be proud of, "I believe that we need to evict the family living at number 4 Privet Drive. Please have them out on the streets as soon as possible. That should make it easier to have your teams study the wards."

Grrack's face took on a grin, that looked like a glare but perhaps that was just the way of goblins, "It shall be done by this evening. I have someone acquiring the Will of your parents first. But, after that Mr. Potter we have three vaults that you may visit. Your trust vault, a Ministry started Potter family vault containing items from your residence at Goddrick's Hallow, and finally a secondary family vault for House Golge is here. Which do you wish to visit?"

Harry glanced at his representative then back to the goblin, "I would like to see my families Will then visit the Golge vault and the vault with my parents processions."

Grrack pressed a button and the same goblin as before walked in and placed down a sealed envelope onto the table. Grrack handed the envelope with a dagger to Harry and watched quietly.

The boy pricked his finger and pressed his against the envelope, slowly it unraveled into a long sheet of paper. The boy glanced it over quickly with a frown, it simply outlined that Harry would acquire all of their processions and would become the Heir of House Potter. There were instructions that Harry would be required to enter his mother's family vault once he became eleven years old. There was no further instructions for Harry of what he would do within the vault on that he would enter alone. The boy glanced down at the common list of items on the Will till he stopped on the guardians with another frown. Not speaking a word Harry just shook his head and passed the Will over to Mr. Greengrass.

Mr. Greengrass took the Will to read quietly, as he did a small tick started to form on his forehead before he spoke up, "It appears that you were not supposed to be placed anywhere near your Aunt or Uncle ever."

Harry quietly nodded his head and his right hand tapped his fingertips onto the table, "I should have been given to my godfather Sirius Black and if that failed House Longbottom or House Diggory to be raised."

The killing curse green eyes of the boy turned towards the goblin, "I would like two copies of the Will to be made for Mr. Greengrass and myself. Also could we have a record of all transactions since the date of my parent's death for my trust vault and House Potter's vault."

The old goblin stood up slowly then glanced towards the boy and solicitor, "It shall be done. Do you wish to see the vaults now?"

The boy offered a nod towards the aged goblin in agreement then followed the creature from the room to find out what was in store next for him.

Author note: I just wanted to say thank you for all of the reviews and reader so far. I was very surprised that people liked it so much after just a chapter really of writing. I tried to answer as many reviews as possible and I look forward to more ideas. I expect year three to be slightly different than normal for Harry and the boy will grow very different then the Harry in the normal books. Hopefully he is coming off as slightly more mature but still not completely sure of himself. I am looking for a Beta if anyone wishes to do it for the story. I should have another chapter up this week on Wednesday or Thursday. Thank you again for reading it and I hope that everyone likes it so far.
