Chapter 3

Harry decided to ask if Lupin could take him to the will reading so he would have to come up with an excuse to get out of the house.

He sent the request with Hedwig.

Lupin was about to leave for something when he heard Hedwig's chirp.

He saw a note from Harry s he opened it.

Moony,

Thanks for the great advice. Maybe you should take some of it yourself. Anyways, the reason I'm writing again is because, I was wondering if you could take me to the will reading so I wouldn't have to come up with an excuse to get out of the house. So could you? It's on Saturday at 2 PM, at Gringotts. Thanks.

-Harry

He wrote his response right away and he left.

Harry got the response from Lupin and read it.

Harry,

Sure I'll take you. Well I guess I forgot to tell you, I am supposed to attend as well. So we will both be going to the will reading. I hate that you have to be at the Dursleys. Well that will all be over when you turn 17 in July. I'm not sure what you mean about taking my own advice but I'm sure you'll tell me.

-Moony

Well there was Harry's answer.

Saturday came and Harry was dreading it.

He heard the doorbell and went to get it but Vernon already got it.

"Who the hell are you?" Vernon bellowed.

"He is my former professor and my friend, Uncle Vernon. He is taking me to Dumbledore's will reading today. Don't even think of denying me. We both have wands and we're not afraid to use them. Now let me pass!" Harry answered.

"Fine but don't get into any trouble" that was easier than Harry thought.

"See Harry you didn't need me at all" Lupin said.

"Yes I did" Harry replied.

"I need someone to apparate me because I haven't taken the test yet and besides, you are going to the will reading anyways so I asked fro you to take me" Harry responded.

"Fine let's go, we don't want to be late"

Harry side-apparated with Lupin to Diagon Alley.

Gringotts Bank….

"Hello how may I help you?" a goblin asked.

"Yes I'm Remus Lupin and this is Harry Potter and we're supposed to be at the will reading of Albus Dumbledore" Lupin answered.

"Right this way Mr. Lupin, Mr. Potter"

The goblin showed Lupin and Harry to a room where there were already people.

They both walked into the room where McGonagall and someone who looked a lot like Dumbledore were.

"Hello Professor McGonagall. Sorry but, who are you?" Harry motioned towards the person who looked like Dumbledore.

"Hello Potter" McGonagall replied.

"Hello, I'm Aberforth Dumbledore, Albus's brother. You must be Harry Potter. Am I right?" Aberforth answered.

"Yes sir" Harry responded.

"Excuse me but the reading needs to start now" a goblin stated, coming into the room.

Everyone sat down.

"Today you all are here for the will and testament reading of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. The ones that should be present for this reading are, Aberforth Dumbledore, Remus Lupin, and Harry Potter. Now I will show you a picture frame with Albus Dumbledore inside it. I will leave the room for a half hour. I will be back after that" the goblin stated.

There was a picture of Dumbledore in it, on the wall across from the table where they were sitting.

The picture Dumbledore started speaking.

"I Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, have asked you four here because you have all given something of importance to me.

Aberforth my dear brother, you and I had some great times. You have given me the most fun that I have ever had. You have been the best brother in the world. I thank you for that. We have shared fond memories that I shall cherish always.

Minerva, you have given me so many ideas on how to run Hogwarts, that I wouldn't know how to do without. You have been a wonderful colleague for me to have known. You have helped me in so many ways, that you would only understand. For that I am eternally grateful.

Remus, you have showed me that while being a werewolf is hard, you can still prevail. You have lived life to the fullest.

And Harry, you have showed me that no matter how young you are you can fight the good fight and win. You have fought the good fight countless times and been braver than I could have been. Don't stop being brave but yet compassionate for others.

Now I need to tell all of you what has happened to Tom Riddle, or better known as Voldemort. Harry already knows his story but the others of you do not.

(I will not go into detail about Tom Riddle's history, for it will take to long)

Now all I ask of you is to help Harry and his three friends on this mission. Harry you know why I say your three friends.

I wish you all to teach Harry and his friends all they need to know for this mission. They will need you.

But enough of the serious stuff, now with the good part. Giving away my possessions.

To you Aberforth, I leave everything that has to do with our family, from my bedchambers.

Minerva, I leave you my whole library. If Harry or his friends need to use it then please let them. I also leave you in charge of the Order. I can't think of anyone else to leave it to. Last, I leave you the Sorting Hat, as you are now Headmistress.

Remus, to you I leave all my research in my office. I also leave you in charge of the Order's finances. Use it to help those who need it, who on our side. Once you have looked over my research share it with Harry and his friends.

Last but not least Harry, you will receive my pensieve, to help you in your research. I also leave you Gryffindor's sword. It somehow belongs to you and with the exploration of your vaults you'll find out why. Lastly, I leave you Fawkes. I wouldn't have expected that he bonded with someone else. He bonded with you in your second year, in the Chamber of Secrets. It will take some time but he will eventually respond to you.

Please move on with your lives. I will be here when you need to speak with me.

When you leave, all of your new possessions will be where you live.

Goodbye and don't forget that I cared for you all.

With that all said, the goblin came in and took the picture away.

It was obvious that all four of them were crying, hard.

They all left, silent.

A/N: well what do you think? I'm afraid that with the will reading, it wasn't exactly from my own imagination. I feel like it was from someone else's. I feel like it wasn't origional. If you all feel differently, please tell me so I don't have to worry about it. REVIEW!
