I do not own Harry Potter or the Addams Family sadly this means I am skint.
Harry Addams
After their little escapade in Knockturn Alley The Addams and Professor McGonagall set of for the bank. As Soon as Pugsley saw the Goblins he burst into a run and much to anyone who's name was not Addams started talking in goblin. The Guard was shocked at first then seemed to be laughing wait McGonagall thought Goblins don't laugh. What the Hell had she got into now.
Pugsley was talking Rapidly and making extravagant hand gestures and every so often he shouted "BOOOM". McGonagall shook her head and Harry took pity on her or maybe he just wanted to get on with the day.
"Pugsley likes Goblins we have them over for dinner on occasion. They seem to share a love of blowing things up. I would imagine Pugsley is trying to find out where the nearest goblin army base is so he can play with some of their ordinance or if they have no base due to the constrictive and self destroying laws this country has I would say he inviting him over for a day at my house blowing stuff up." Harry smiled as Pugsley seemed to have run out of things to say and the Goblin Guard noticed them. His grin grew huge as the Goblin looked at him and spat on the floor in front of him.
Harry suddenly had a knife in his hand and was running up to the Goblin soon they were involved in a fight both using knives Harry and his kitchen knife and the goblin with what looked like a small scimitar. They carried on for some minutes before harry swung low and flicked his knife forward causing a cut just above the Goblins eye. As soon as blood started to flow both knives seemed to vanish and they hugged.
McGonagall had to look twice a goblin who only moments before had been trying to kill her student was hugging him instead. Wednesday smiled " Goblins respect money power and honesty Harry is the personification of all three, So the guard had to see if Harry would defend what was his physically as well as magically."
The Addams were led to an old but comfortable looking office and an aged Goblin hobbled in Harry smiled and " Oh hows it going look I am in a bit of a hurry so here's my key what do I need to sign and where do I sign I also want to see my parents will."
McGonagal was shocked Harry was being down right disrespectful to the Goblin. Yet the Goblin just nodded and held out some paper "Sign these and I will read your parents wills."
Harry got up and looked over each paper and with some he showed Wednesday or Pugsley he never bothered to show Professor McGonagall. He picked up a Quill looked at the old Goblin and smiled "Okay you can begin."
"Here is my last will and testament I James Potter hereby leave everything to Harry James potter Except for 100000 Galleons to Remus lupin if he can prove he is not with Voldemort and another 100000 to Sirius Black who wanted to be our secret keeper but in the end agreed Peter was the best choice. Sorry Padfoot it seems the rat was the traitor in the order if you are listening to this, make sure everyone gets a picture of him in his rat form unless you get the chance to kill that piece of filth. Lastly to my son Harry I also leave my title of Lord Gryffindor and and lord Potter It means you need two wives I never got the chance for my second wife as I wanted the Potter line to continue first."
McGonagall was in shock Black wasn't the secret keeper she had only one word for this "shite!"
Harry and his family continued to look over and sign documents as the Goblin continued.
"Now Remus if you are indeed on the side of light once our hiding place has been fixed as I am not letting that dark tosser get me and my wife that easily you can have the place. Harry you may wonder why you were not raised by Sirius well we love him but he is an idiot so that's why my lovely wife your mum made Minerva McGonagall your magical guardian unless she does anything stupid or unless she gives up that right."
Minerva McGonagall chose this time to think back and realise by letting the Headmaster control Harry by Taking him from Black and dumping him at that house in Surrey she had in fact gave up the right. She was not happy her and the headmaster would be having words. As unless he thought she could fail to raise Harry as a responsible adult, she followed that line of thought then she saw red. It was tantamount to thinking she was incompetent
Harry smiled at one form and signed it quite happily. He looked up "This guardianship form I was legally adopted by the Addams Family who are from America so."
The Goblin stopped and looked up " Yes they are your new legal magical guardians as well as your legal Parents but if your brother Pugsley dies then you will need 3 wives as you need to keep the Addams the Potter and the Gryffindor lines alive."
Harry nodded.
Professor McGonagall couldn't believe how Harry was acting she had never thought that signing forms from a Goblin was a good idea but her mind was in shock and she saw they had nearly done the whole pile before her mind kicked in she just hoped they hadn't sighed away anything important.
Harry shook his wrist and put the quill down. " All signed and witnessed" he handed the forms back to the Goblin, who looked them over and nodded.
"Would you like to go to your trust vault and get some money now Lord Potter, Gryffindor, Addams?"
Harry nodded "yes and I need some land with a forest and some sort of house or building on it I have an dislike to the British mistreatment of people who can't help themselves due to the mediocre mentality of people in charge of this country."
The Old Goblin thought for a moment then nodded " I have the ideal parcel of land and you should be able to get it for a very cheap price. Then the Goblin went to a wall and head-butted it "Sorry my Lord but you own such a bit of land. The forbidden forest is yours by right of inheritance and by right of combat. Well I think it is yours by right of combat we would need a blood test for a definitive answer."
Harry held out his hand and asked how much blood. The Goblin ran to his desk hit a button and soon a younger Goblin came in with a steaming silver cup "3 drops no make it 4 drops in here."
Harry pulled a knife from who knows where and cut himself 4 drops later the cup was smoking and giving off a funny smell when it stopped the younger Goblin pulled out a roll of parchment and spilled the liquid onto it. Harry and the others watched as name after name came from it. McGonagall fainted it was a bit hard for her to be standing in the presence to the heir of Merlin the four founders and Merlin's teacher but the high King of Atlantis was the real shocker.
The Old Goblin gulped this was not what he expected he knew Dumbledore had pulled some strings and had the Potter will sealed but now it had been asked for by the main beneficiary it had been unsealed as he had reached his 11th birthday and was now considered a wizard.
Harry nodded and made up his mind " Okay first I need an area within the forbidden forest warded so werewolves can't leave while in wolf form. Then I need some changing rooms or some such thing so they can leave their clothes and belongings in a safe place, I will need to hire a couple of healers and a few cooks. I will need to know what property's I have that need work on and to hire the were's that can do the jobs. Also I need to have a small farm started and maybe a breeding place for deer and the such so when the were's change they have something to hunt in their animal form."
The old Goblin made note of this. Professor McGonagall was shocked Harry was thinking of a way to help were's and she was just sitting there gaping like a first year seeing her first ghost. Harry got up and at the same instant so did his brother and sister. "Right suppose we need money and the deeds sorting out. Send me the info when you have the were's place sorted and the food for them in both forms sorted. Also I need the healers and the other people vetoed and I think Gomez Addams should be made the keeper of the files and that Morticia Addams should be on the board for the plant life and the healers, I want Grandma Addams to be head of the hiring and firing of the weres and job placement.... better add healers to people she should be in charge of."
Harry left the room and Professor McGonagall followed them. A young Goblin led them to Harry's trust vault and he made a substantial withdrawal. Then asked if they could take the scenic route back as they found the ride "amusing". The Goblin was only to happy too comply. Harry smiled and spoke softly into the Goblins ear the resulting grin from the Goblin had McGonagall shivering, it did not bode well for someone.
Then they left the bank. Their first stop was Knockturn Alley where the were's were waiting for them.
"Right I have jobs for some were's and also a place for you to change on the fall moon I also have food and medical staff laid on for the morning after the change... or I will have by the end of the month. Go to Gringotts show them your identity and tell them of any skills you have I will need gardeners people to help breed food for you in wolf or whatever were form you have and I need people who can build as we need changing rooms and a kitchen and a healers place for you. This will all include a wage for those working for me and meals will be laid on on-site. Any questions?"
An old looking man walked forward and cleared his throat "Why yu doing this for us?"
Harry turned his head up so he could look the old man in the face. " I have money fame and honour would you say I would make or lose money by helping the were's build and improve on my land? How will my willingness to help all species help or hinder my fame? Would my honour survive knowing I have the ways and means to help my fellow people and chose to sit on my cash like a politician sitting on his bribes."
Harry took a breath "My land will be farmed what you in animal forms do not eat will be sold the animals will need crops to feed them what they don't need will be sold. I get buildings and a place to go when I wish built by people who wish to prove they are as good as non weres so it will be built to the best standard. I will treat you well and as such I know I will have made friends." Harry smiled and his eyes lit with an inner fire.
"money can't buy friends fame can't get you friends but helping and being honest can. Money will not cover your back in a fight fame will not get you a drink or meal with pleasant chat it will only get you hanger on's and fan people. My honour is the honour of the Potters and the Addams I must be more honourable than others as it expected by people for me to be so. Where is the honour in looking down on people just because they had the misfortune to be bit. No and I say no again there is no honour in it there is no pleasure in it. If I am to crush my enemies and build a better world then I need friends not yes men I need people who know what the bottom feels like and wish to see the sun, to know that all is not dark light is here and I am that light."
McGonagall, shivered the way Harry spoke reminded her to much of other people who said they had others best interest at heart like Hitler,Grindoworld, And most recently one Tom Riddle. She if she had ever seen Gomez Addams go on one of his rants would have seen the very same style and passion in his way of speaking.
Harry then led his family and McGonagall, down Knockturn and to the shops that he had seen things they wanted in. It was a pleasant surprise for the Professor but she was disturbed to see the splinched mugger was still screaming for help. A helpful hag pointed out that an Addams had cursed the bloke so unless he was found by an Auror no one was going to undo an Addams reprisal in-case they became the recipients for the Addams family's revenge.
The rest of the trip was boring until Ollivander's when Pugsley and Wednesday saw him they broke into grins and started to dance with him " Cousin Olly why didn't you come to the feast last year we missed you"
Professor McGonagall, stared at a smiling happy Wednesday as she hugged yes hugged a person and that person was still alive.
"Well Weds hun I had a lot of work on and I need to find an apprentice so I can find more time for my family so what you three doing this side of the ocean?"
"We are now attending Hogwarts it seems a right mess with incompetent teachers Deatheater's and all sorts of rubbish around but we hope to be able call it presentable by the end of the year as Harry here owns it. So we might call some the family in to update and make the place at least come into the 20th century instead of the 18th ."
McGonagall, stared at Wednesday she had never heard her say so much or seem happy admittedly she had only seen them for a few days but she trusted her first impressions now she found out they were all wrong. Well except the one about not wanting to annoy an Addams. That one was very very well reinforced she just hoped the Headmaster and Snape would not do anything stupid.
