" I thank you for being honest with me. I'm glad to know this before I step into the magical world. I don't blame you at all. How were you to know he would target my family? I think you are very brave and cunning.", Harry said. He meant it too. After finding out what Snape's life was like and seeing him still fight the evil was extraordinary.
" Thank you Mr. Potter. Now we should go. We can eat something while we are out.", Snape said. They ended up having a late breakfast at the Leaky Cauldron. After that they went to Gringotts. " Greetings Gripclaw. May your gold overflow.", Snape bowed to the goblin. Harry followed suit. " May your enemies bleed out and your wealth be great. What can we do for the last Prince today?", Gripclaw asked politely. Snape looked up in shock. " I was not aware I was last of the Prince line. What happened to Grandfather Edward Prince?", he asked. " He died one week ago. Everything is yours as soon as you claim Lordship.", Gripclaw said. " In that case we will definitely need a private room. I will also need to see the Potter's account manager as I have their son with me.", Snape said.
They were led to an ornate room covered in gold. They sat down as another goblin came in. " My name is Sharpclaw. I am the Prince, Potter, and Black account manager.", Sharpclaw introduced himself. " Here is the Prince Lordship ring. I would also suggest doing a heritage test. ", Sharpclaw said. Snape nodded in agreement. He pricked his finger and let 7 drops of blood fall onto the parchment. What he found out astonished him. He wasn't a Snape at all. His real father had been Orion Black. Not only that, but he had had a twin sister. Isla Lillian Prince Black. He couldn't believe it.
Snape had Harry do one as well. This would also prove his identity. His was even more shocking. It showed him as the descendant Godric Gryffindor and Helga Hufflepuff who had a daughter that married Ignatius Peverell that was carried through the Potter line. Then it had Salazar Slytherin and Rowena Ravenclaw who had a daughter that married Mordred Gaunt. Morfin Gaunt, Merope's sister, married Sevren Prince. They had a son Edward Severus Prince who had a daughter Eileen Prince. Then the real shocker came. Orion Black and Eileen Prince had Severus Treven Prince Black and Isla Lillian Prince Black. Isla Black became Lily Evans through adoption and later Lily Potter.
" You're my nephew.", Snape said in shock. Not only was Harry his nephew, but Harry was a direct descendant of the four founders plus Peverell along with Black and Prince. " I want to change my name to my legal name.", Snape said. " What about you Harry?", he asked. Harry's real name was Hadarian Jameson Potter. Harry just nodded. " Now Mr. Prince would you also like to take the Black Lordship along with Slytherin and Ravenclaw?", Sharpclaw asked. " Yes.", Severus said. Severus put the four rings together and they melded into one. He felt something snap inside him and slumped over unconscious.
" Is he alright?", Harry asked. " He'll be fine. Apparently he had bindings on him. When he put on the rings, they broke. Now for you I have the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Peverell, and Potter Lordship rings. While you are young, since you are the last of these lines you are eligible for Lordship. Then we have the Black, Prince, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw Heir rings.", Sharpclaw said. Harry combined the Heir rings into one and put it on his right ring finger while he did the same to the others, only putting them onto his left ring finger.
Severus came to slowly. Harry was looking at him in concern. " Are you okay now?", he asked softly. Severus just nodded." Good to see you back with us. Apparently Albus Dumbledore had some bindings on you. I would recognize his handiwork anywhere.", Gripclaw said. They took a moment to ponder this. " Wow. You look loads better.", Harry blurted. Severus raised one eyebrow and conjured a mirror. His nose was no longer hooked, but straight. It now fit his face perfectly. His skin was no longer sallow, but pale and healthy. His teeth were perfectly straight and white. Even his greasy hair, from all the potions, looked silky and reached down his shoulders. All in all he looked to be in his mid twenties instead of looking like a middle aged old bat. Even the pain from all the curses over the years was gone. He lifted his left sleeve and saw the Dark Mark gone.
After collecting himself he asked to see the Potter wills. Apparently they had been sealed. The information was most enlightening. Sirius Black was not the secret keeper, Peter Pettigrew was. Harry was never to be place with the Dursleys, but to either Sirius Black, Alice Longbottom, or himself.
AN: Hope I'm doing okay so far. A tad short, but I felt this was a good spot to end. Please R/R
