Chapter 4
So, the question now was what did Gringotts want with him? In the 5 years he had known about the Wizarding world he had never received anything from them. So what changed?
Well, despite what he had recently been thinking, Harry was normally a Gryffindor, so he slowly reached for the envelope in the Owls beak.
The Owl let him, and Harry, feeling somewhat bad about his earlier suspicions, reached over and grabbed one of Hedwig's treats and also got some water for the poor creature. And as the Owl recharged, before leaving through the now cracked open window, Harry opened the letter and was shocked at the contents:
Dear Mr. Potter,
We here at Gringotts would like to formally invite you to the Will reading of Sirius Black. Although a fugitive from Justice within the Ministry and a well known criminal in both Muggle and Magical worlds, the Ministry, in all their wisdom, did not provide Mr. Black with a proper trial and as such, his Will was not voided as technically, he was never convicted in the eyes of Magick.
His Will is to be read in two days time. Mr. Black has specifically asked that you attend if his Will was ever activated. Because of this stipulation, you will be unable to send a regent in your stead as you might have in any other situation. If you have a problem getting to Gringotts, as we have record that you live with Muggles, just place a drop of Blood on the Knut provided for you in this letter. We will be instantly notified and can send a representative to help you arrive on the day in question.
There are some other, more personal matters we must discuss with you after the Will and its stipulations have been carried out. We ask that you please clear out your schedule for the afternoon as it will take many hours. You are allowed to bring one person/creature as an advisor if you so desire. But we ask, due to the sensitive nature of the proceedings that it be someone you inexplicably trust.
We are looking forward to doing Business with you now and in all of your future endeavors.
Yours sincerely,
Rugknot

Head of Wills, Trusts and Inheritances
By the end of the letter, Harry was shaking and tears were slipping through his iron tight control. Magick didn't lie, so if the Will was activated than Sirius was either dead, or unable to be reached in this Dimension. Harry, much like before, decided to believe the latter. He would not, could not, believe that Sirius was gone. Most would call this denial, but Harry knew that if Sirius was dead, he would feel it. And Harry felt that Sirius was alive somewhere. Granted, someplace hard to get to, maybe impossible, but alive never-the-less. And because he believed this, he could get through the Will.
The fact that Sirius made the stipulation that Harry had to be there was interesting. Maybe Harry wasn't the only one that didn't completely trust the Headmaster? If that was the case, Harry felt even closer to his Godfather.
'I wonder what the other things are that I will have to deal with in a couple of days?' Harry thought. Harry was looking forward to it, but he was also dreading it. Harry always went with his instincts and they were telling him that this change, while good, would bring more things to light. Whether it was more manipulations or more things to make Harry different, he didn't know. It could be both for goodness sakes!
'And knowing his luck, it'll be both!' Harry snorted.
As for the advisor, who could he trust enough to bring with him? The first person to come to mind was Hermione, but was she on his side? Harry made a decision right then and there to find out before the reading. The Question was how?
Harry yawned and decided to sleep on it, Lord knows he needed the sleep, but maybe now, knowing that something productive was going to happen fairly soon, he could rest a bit easier now. But only if Voldemort didn't send him a nightmare induced vision again. 'Yeah right,' Harry muttered to himself.
But before he went to bed, we grabbed a shard of the broken wardrobe mirror and placed one drop of his blood on the Knut that came with the letter. Now, no matter what happens he will have a way to get to the Will, despite what Dumbledore tried to do.
And as Harry laid down for the first real sleep he has gotten in more than a month, he felt that things were going his way, and he was on his way to fulfilling the Destiny he was born to have.

Authors note:
Sorry y'all! Some really personal stuff was going on in my life and I was in a place I don't ever want to be in again. But I am back, and I can promise I will try to go ahead a update once a day, but no promises. Sorry darlings!
Anyway, I'm writing a new story, but I can promise you I will not be Abandoning Destiny's Chosen. Abandoned fics are definitely a pet peeve of mine. So I can promise that!
Woot!
Anyway, some constructive criticism is always welcome! Or if ya have in questions feel free to leave then and I will try my best to answer them! And thanks for the support! I'm glad y'all love the fic! Its my first so I'm trying so hard!
Let me know!
