Chapter 3: Wills and Unexpected Information
Harry woke up the next morning in pitch black though he new outside the sun had to be shining bright. He got out of the bed and headed into the bathroom to get get ready for the da ahead of him.
Once out the room Harry headed down the hall the way he was lead earlier. Once he reached a familiar path he quickly made his way towards the main entrance hoping to run into some one because he didn't want to wander around and get lost trying to find one of the familiars they spoke of last night. Once he made it to the main hall he met with a strange man around 6'0 feet tall with broad shoulders and muscular build. He was carrying pistol on his right hip, with a dagger of his left.
"Your Harry?" The man asked in a deep but smooth voice.
"Yes." he stammered out.
"Good. Today I'll be escorting you to Gringotts. Once there we will be meeting with a Mr. Patil who will be your solicitor. He will handle a majority of your legal problems from here on out. Now if you will hold onto this we shall be on our way." He held out what looked like a old soda can which he figure had to be a portkey the one way he absolutely hated to travel because he always ended up on his ass.
So he reached out and placed a finger on the on the can and waited for the familiar pull behind his navel. He predictably fell on his ass when then they landed. The guard offered his hand to help him up. The man led him to the back of The Leaky Cauldron and opened the archway to Diagon Alley.
Once in the alley they made they made there way down to the white marble building known as Gringotts bank. The guard led Harry up to a man standing outside the building who looked of Indian descent. He guess this had to be Mr. Patil he was a tall man standing atleast 6'4 or more. He wore a business suit with elegant looking black robes.
"Hello you must be Mr. Potter, as you have probably guessed I am Mr.Patil but you can call me Amal." He extending his hand which Harry shook gratefully.
"Its a pleasure to meet you, and please call me Harry. Shall we go inside and take care of business?" he asked.
"Well first we are going to meet with Amelia Bones the Head of the Department of law Enforcement, along with Mr. Fudge the Minister of magic. If we can get him on your side it will be a big help to us. Now we are to meet in 10 mi minutes in a conference room the goblins have provided for us." With that said he lead them inside and past the goblins to a room just outside the main hall.
He led them into a rather large room with a oval shaped table with large comfortable looking chairs. "Take a seat Harry." He did as he was told and chose a chair one the otherside of the room facing the door.
Amal took a seat next to him before he began to speak. "Now Harry I know you and the Minister are at abit of a cross right now. But you need to put that aside and come up with some sort of agreement that can benefit the both of you. Now try not to lash out at anything said and stay calm."
Harry sat there and thought about what was said and tried to come up with something that could possibly help them both out without becoming his lap dog. The best he could come up with was to aid them if absolutely necessary ,and pretend to back up him up for re-election.
As he sat there thinking the door opened up and in came Ms.Bones and Mr.Fudge. Harry stood and shook there hands greeting them in a friendly manner. "Hello Ms.Bones a pleasure to meet, And you as well Minister." He spoke in a formal tone.
"Ah, Harry a pleasure as always. How are you?" asked Fudge as Ms.Bones gave a polite nod and hello in return.
"As good as can be expected with all that going on." He said in a somber tone. "Please have a seat so we can get down to business."
With that said Mr.Patil stood and introduced himself. "Hello I am Mr.Patil Harry's lawyer. Now we all know why we are here as I stated in the letter I sent you this morning we have come across evidence that a Albus Dumbledore has withheld information from my client, as well as stolen money from him. I have taken it upon my self to get his records from the goblins." he passed a rather large folder over to Madam Bones. "You will see there have been several money transfers made to account to a Ronald Weasley, Ginvera Weasely, and a Private account Dumbledore himself has set up. Now in a few moments Ragnok the Head of Gringotts bank should be here to help solve this matter."
Things quieted down for a bit as both Minister Fudge and Madam Bones leafed through through the folder. They were a Number of transfers made from the Potter estate to mentioned accounts ranging from 5,000 or 50,000 galleons. As they leafed through anger was evident on there faces as they couldn't believe Albs the "Leader of the Light" would stoop as low as to steal money from the Boy-Who-Lived of all people.
One thing Harry was trying to figure out what had Hermoine gained out of this to make her turned against him. I could have been a number of things from her status as prefect or knowing her unrestricted access to the library. That or she could be under control with a potion or something of that nature. He would definitely have to look into it.
"I see.. Well this is certainly a blatant case of Embezzlement I have seen. If you would like to press charges I have the paper work here with me you just have to have your lawyer here file the necessary paper work." Spoke Madam Bones.
"Well I certainly agree something has to be done about this. Though we may have our difference Harry I apologize for the things the ministry has said and done to you. I am willing to help you if you accept my apology." surprisingly this came from Minister Fudge that last person Harry would though would be trying to get back into his good Graces.
"I accept your apology and look forwards to hopefully working with you instead of against you in the near future. Now yes I would like to press charges against them. I was wondering if there was a way to speak with the Board of Governors about Professor Snape and his abuse of power. Since I set foot in the school he has blantanly been down right evil to me. He is biased and his method of teaching isn't worth the trouble he causes. I would also like to press charges against Delores Umbridge." He watched as Fudges eyes lit up with curitousity when he said Umbitches name.
"And may I ask why you wish to press charges against her." asked fudge.
"Well for one I during the detentions I had with her for telling the truth that Voldermort, Stop flinching its just a name, had returned she made me write lines every night with a blood quill which I found out this summer is illegal. Along with that she attempted to slip me Veritiserum ,and threatened to curcio me if i didn't tell her what she wanted to know.." he smirked at the shocked looks on there faces.
"Are you sure these are very serious charges?" He nodded his head and Madam Bones continued. "Alright just for threatening to use the cruciatus is a mandatory 10 year sentence. Well you have to file the paper for that was well. Mean while I have her placed Under arrest pending her trial.." he nodded his head.
"Oh I forgot to mention she was who sent those dementors after me last summer. I will admit to these thing veritiserum or if possible give you a pensive memory of these events since the memories cant be faked." They nodded there heads.
Mr. Patil sat back in his seat in clear shock seeing as he didn't know these thing. He knew he was going to have to sit down with Harry alone one day and find out what he's been through and done so he will know how to better handle these situations in the near future.
"Well now all there is to do is wait for the goblins to show up so we can proceed." Mr.Patil finally spoke up breaking the silence. They didn't have to wait long because shortly after he said this the was a knock at the door. "Come in." he side and in walked one of the biggest goblin Harry had ever seen.
"Hello Ragnok." Greeted Mr.Patil with a bow of his head.
"Hello I presume everyone is here. Hello Mr. Potter its a pleasure to meet the holder of one of our biggest accounts." Greeted Ragnok bow his head slightly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well and please call me Harry I hate Formalities and titles." he said. Ragnok just nodded his head in acceptance and ignore the others in the room as he took a seat at the head of the table.
"Now I assume that you will be taking this to the wizarding law courts?" he asked with for some form of approval before he continued. "Well I personally provide the documents which prove these charges. Though you should already have a copy of the papers."
"That we do. What I would like to know is if there is a way to get they money before the trials?" Asked Harry.
"We will have the money taken from the account and placed back into yours. If found guilty they will have to pay a heavy fin and face possible imprisonment if the can't pay up." answered Ragnok.
Harry nodded his head. He like the idea seeing as he didn't have to wait to get his money back but it also screwed them over. He leaned over to ask Mr.Patil how that sounded and if they should do it.
"My client would like to have that done. He would also like to view his parents will." stated Mr. Patill.
"Of course and would he like to view Sirius will as well. He should have gotten something in the mail recently notifying him that it was to be read at a later time today?" he half stated and half asked.
"I've never received anything from gringotts at all." exclaimed Harry.
"That's odd w have been sending you regular updates about you accounts since your 11th birthday. We will look into this."
"That's another thing Dumbledore will have to answer for." exclaimed a rather angry Harry.
"Griphook!" Yelled Ragnok.
Another goblin Harry recognized from his first trip to Gringotts came in. "Yes Sir?"
"Bring me the Potters and Black will's please."
"Yes sir." With that said he left the room and returned shortly with two rolls of parchment.
He handed the rolls over to Harry to look over. He choose to do his godfathers first:
I, Sirius Orion Black, being of sound mind and body, do hereby declare this to be my last will and testament.
I leave Remus J Lupin, with 50,000 galleons from the Black family vault to do with as he wishes. My choice is for new robes,and a house, but hey it's your money now.
I leave Nymphadora Anne Tonks with 75,000 galleons from the Black family vault to do with as she wishes. Tonks please take care of Remus for me he can be abit thick headed at times but he will come around.
I Leave the rest to my dear godson Harry James Potter. Take care of yourself Harry and use this money to have some fun lord know you need it. Don't trust Dumbledore, I found out he's been lying to you from day one, and has been stealing money from you parent. When I found out he locked me inside you know where and that's just the beginning of what he's done, I can't say much else in case some one else hears this. Oh, and take Moony clothes shopping he needs it worse then I needed a shave when I got out Azkaban.
s that concludes everything that I wish to say. Have wonderful lives, Oh and Harry give Dumble Hell for me.
There was a letter attached to will that said for his eyes only. He curiously unfolded the letter and began to read:
Harry,
If you are reading this then I have moved on hopefully took a few death muncher's with me. I am writing to tell you some of the thinks I have have recently found out about our Dear old Headmaster.
He has been stealing money from your family vault. From what I could find out I'd estimate it to be just a lil over 3,000,000 galleons. When I found out he Tried to lock me in my own house. He is also the reason I was in Azkaban. If he would have followed your parents will he would have clearly see that Peter was the secret keeper.
Besides that he has Ron spying on you since he first met you. All of the Weasleys are in on it with the exception of Bill,Charlie, Fred and George. Those two are loyal to you through thick and then from what I can tell. They are disgusted with there family. Yes I told them. The are will to help you when you come to them.
Now About Hermoine, Well she has been under a mind altering potion. I don't know which one but I know it has to be redone every month or else it looses its effect. This is a spell to use to check you food and anything they give you from now on for spells, potions, and enchantments. Ostendo. The wand movement is a sort of jab. I'd advise you to use it to check Hermoine's stuff as well. Now this Spell is to cancel all and any tracking spells on you. Oblittero omnis investgo veneficus.
Well that all I have to say pup take care of yourself.
Love,
Sirius.
Harry Stared at the letter with anger written clear on his face. That son of a bitch. Wait until i get my hands on him. Were some of the things currently running through his mind. The other around him started to become alarmed as his eyes emitted a eerie green glow.
"Harry calm down your eyes are glowing." Said Mr. Patil.
He took a moment to calm down before moving onto his parents will though his anger still lingered:
I, James Harold Potter, being of sound mind and body, do hereby declare this to be my last will and testament.
To Leave Remus Lupin, I Leave 30,000 Galleons to do with as he wishes.
To Sirius Orion Black, I leave Guardianship oh Harry James Potter if we are no long able to.
To Peter Pettigrew we leave a bag of dead rats, He was our secret keeper so if we are no long here its his fault.
If Sirius is unable to care for Harry he is to go to the list of names we have provided if not then he is to become and emancipated minor.
List or names goes as this:
1.Sirius Orion Black
2.Alice and Frank Longbottom
3.Amelia bones
4.Minerva McGonagall
5.He WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT go to Lily's sister.
Now we leave the rest of our belonging to our son Harry James Potter along with this letter form his mother.
Harry was now beyond pissed. His eyes were glowing and eerie green again as power rolled off him in waves. He faintly glowing green.Those in the room sat in awe at the display of power he was showing. There was only two known people to show this kind of power before. All they could think was Albus Dumbledore , And Lord Voldemort had better look out because a new power house was coming into play.
Harry moved onto the letter from his mother:
Harry,
My loving son if you are reading this then i am sorry to say that i am no longer living. I have some things I need to tell you in this letter that may be abit overwhelming to you. The things I am about to tell you cannot be told to anyone. I have charmed this letter so only you can read it. When you done reading it hand it to Ragnok he will take care of the vaults and money you gain.
Now your farther already know this. There are two types of vampire, those who can breed and do magic. Then those that cant. Your are Descended from those that can. My son, I am a vampire, but I am no regular Vampire I am the last heir of Dracula. I was adopted by the Evans family as a baby I don't know how that came to be but I did a blood genealogy test to trace my root and this is what I came to find.
My True father was Alucard Son of Dracula. I don't know much about other then they were the rulers of the Vampire Nation. So in lack of better word I became ruler upon my 16th birthday when I went through my awakening which you will have to endure as well.
You will gain your vampiric powers on they night of your 16th birthday. The thing is you will be more powerful then the regular vampire of both breeds. You will be twice as strong and fast as the elders. You magic will be more powerful. All your senses will be stronger. Everything down to your power of the mind will be twice as good. You will gain a ability of a shadow master which appear to be part of the bloodlines power. You will have to learn and Adapt to these skill im sure others will come along to train you as they did me. Another family trait is that you will be immune to silver.
They will address you by your title Harry son of Lilith. Yes Lilith is my real name but don't tell others. Id advise you to go by a pseudo name for time being. If you are bitten before the time of you awakening it won't do much to you other then speed up your awakening.
Please don't be mad at me for not making this known to you earlier my son. But I caution you to tell only those you absolutely trust and whatever you do DON'T tell Dumbledore he will just try to use you to his will then kill you when your of no use to him anymore. Well one list bit of information I was named after Lilith the queen of the dead.
Your Loving mother,
Lilith Evan-Potter
Harry look up from the letter shock clearly written all over his face. All traces of his anger had vanish. He wordlessly had the letter to Ragnok who read it with wide eyes before looking up at Harry.
"I will have this taken care of for you. Now would you like use to go over your financial assets or would you like a copy to look at on you own time." asked Ragnok after getting over his shock of this revelation.
"Just a copy to look over later. Is there a Way I would be able to withdraw money with having to keep coming back up here?" he asked because he one planning one hell of a shopping trip today.
"Ah, yes are once you get your family rings you can use it to make withdrawals and transfers to other accounts. All you to do is let them tap you ring and the amount will automatically be transferred. Now Are you familiar with what muggles call a credit card?" as harry's nod he continued." We will give you one for all muggle transactions you may need to make." With that said he sent Griphook to retrieve the family rings and a credit card for him.
Griphook returned to the room carrying 3 cases and black credit card. He set on the table in front of Harry.
Harry opened the first case and took out what he guess was the Black family signet ring. It was made of silver with the Black Family Crest displayed on the front. It simple but elegant at the same time.
Opening the second case he found the Potter Family Ring which was made of gold with a picture of a Phoenix in flight on the front. In the phoenix eyes they were two rubies. It was a beautiful ring.
Now the third one contained the Dracula Family Ring. It was made of pure silver with a bat engrave on the top. In the bats claws it was carrying an emerald the color of harry's eyes. The top of the ring was built in a pyramid fashion.
He placed the three right on his right hand on his middle, ring, and index fingers. The rings glowed blue before disappearing into his skin. He look up at the other for some sort of explanation.
"They haven't vanished the just disappeared until you need. To make them appear again just will them to appear." Harry nodded his head in approval.
"So about how much money do I have and can i get a second copy of my financial assets for my lawyer to look at?" he asked.
"Well I'd say you have just over 50,000,000 galleons with all your assets combined. Seeing as there all very old families they have accumulated a lot of money over the years. Well now are we done here?" asked Ragnok.
With a round of ok's every got up gathering the paper that had be handed out and got ready to head out on there separate ways. "I would like to thank you all for coming today and helping me." Spoke harry.
"No problem give us a call if you need anything alright?" He nodded his head. With that Amelia Bones and Minister Fudge left the room..
"Ragnok thank you for you help. Is it alright if I come directly to you from now on with my banking or any problem I may have?" Harry asked.
"Sure just let me know ahead of time. Oh and the sums specified in the will's have been distributed to those named in the will. The will receives letter in the mail notifying them that it has been read. With that said and done I bid you a farewell." He got up and exited the room as swiftly as he had came.
Harry thanked Mr.Patil as took his copies of the paper work. They set up a meeting to take place abit before the trials to prepare. He decided he would comp back at a later time to look in the vaults to see what all he had.
Harry Exited the building smiling for the first time that day anticipating the looks of surprise dumbles and crew well get.
Mean while Albus was sitting as the head of the table calling the Order of Phoenix to order "We are gathered here today because one Harry James Potter has went missing last night, We no clues as to where he is right now. I would Like for Tonks and Remus to watch Diagon Alley, Moody Hogsmeade, Severus make sure Voldemort doesn't know and keep an eye on him. Everyone else look around and keep and ear out for information. Ron, Ginny have you heard anything from him."
"No we haven't." Answered Ron with a sneer. He had been inducted into the order to spy on Harry along with Hermoine who was under a controlling potion and forced to be with him though no one new that.
Ginny on the other hand was promised that would get to marry the Boy-Who-Lived as well as get paid for being with him. All in all she did it for her own gain.
Hermoine was aware of what was going on as the potion was slowly wearing off, She planned to run to Harry as soon as she could and tell him everything that was going on.
