Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, if I did I would have a personal safe at my house which I would be swimming in with quarters….unless JKR wants to give me Harry Potter for my b-day.
A/N I got doubles the reviews in three days! So just for that I am going to make this chapter almost double the size, reviews keep coming and the chapters will get more heated. I think I will head off of the second story in the series line soon, to answer a few before asked questions, Harry will go to school but he wont be coming in the Ford Anglia, just for the reason of the storyline being messed up.
Harry Potter and the Discovery of Power
Harry came into view of the very odd looking white colored bank known by all wizards who knew of this quite magical place called Gringotts. The air came rushing back into his air lost lungs from all of the heavy running he did to get away from the dark alley he was in. A goblin looked him up and down in disgust and asked if he would like to step into the bank or stay outside looking like an idiot.
Harry nodded his head and stepped into the bank then heard a voice in his head once more.
I hope you are feeling…well today…my friend. I have wanted to talk with you again fro the past couple of days but I have been…occupied. I also wanted to ask if I could try something so I could journey around with you. I am a master leglimens- "What is a- Don't interrupt all in due time my young friend. If I could journey with you, I could help tutor you and help show you the way to power, the way to avenge your parents and also to help you get what you need for when you ever may be in danger, you see I studied history fro a very long time at Hogwarts, what do you say friend?
Well, I don't know, I mean what would happen? How am I going to be going on if you are looking through me? I mean I never heard of such a thing.
Haha, the wise always do ask questions, I have never tried this before to be straight out honest with you, but I believe that I have enough power to do so, you see I am in a lets say…tender position for now…
So, will you let me, it will also help to strengthen me, you see the kind I want to sue it has to be given willingly but, don't worry, I cant see what you don't want me to, and I cant go and make actions through you. All it is is like a window per se where I can see the activities aro8nd as long as you allow me to see.
I will then teach you later on how to do the same technique once the time comes for you to be able to have the control of such power. I must ask you however, not to mention any of this to the old fool Dumbledore. For, if he does, he will cast me out by ATTACKING your mind. Now, you don't want that do you…?
"Fine, I have no problem with you helping me and all, besides, I may need your help with the headmaster, he did after all, kill my parents" Thank you my friend, allow me to now summon what is needed…SssssssssSsssSsssss.! Hey, why are you calling on the powers of the dark? What? What do you mean my friend? Well I just heard you say I now summon the powers of the dark to see the life of a soul…- No, it can't be! That can only mean one thing…; you understand the ancient language of parsletongue.
I understand what? Parsletongue, it is the ancient language of the snake, only two people in history has ever been able to understand its vicious tongue, that is till now. You boy, will be great that means I can also teach you the magic of snakes. I am very impressed.
" Um, ok anyway I am going to go into Gringotts now, if you can see me then I hope you dont mind if I block you out when I get to my vault, you know just for security and all? Not at all boy! I fully understand privacy unlike the old fool! What do you mean? In time now go before the goblins think you are an idiot for just standing there.
Harry stepped into the big hall with all of the goblin tellers. He saw that they had apparently been treated quite well recently the room had been changed to be solid gold walls, with chandeliers, and these big charmed made fans. The goblins looked happy for once in their lives. They were sweeping around bowing to every other wizard, and helping people more generously. Harry just shrugged his shoulders and walked unto a booth that said "Vault Vendor"
Harry squinted at the name tag on the goblin and then said," Excuse me Mr. Wompag, can you help me I am here to get some money from my vault." The goblin looked up from his book entitled "Goblins and Gold in the Ages" and said in a very smoky voice," Yes young sir? Do you need help with a vault or something of the sort?
Harry stared agape at the goblin affront of him; the goblin had these big pointy, snarled teeth that just dangled limply across his front lips while the goblin asked him what he wanted. He finally got out of his stupor and then handed over his key to the vault his parents had left him. "So you would like to visit your trust vault then Mr. Potter?"
What!? Trust vault? Boy! Do you have any idea what that means? That means the old fool is keeping your parents vaults away from you. Ask the goblin to see a will representative, trust me you will need to if you want to have any political power in the wizard world. What? Why would I want "political power" In due time, you must learn a little at a time just ask for one!
"Mr. Wompag I just thought of something, um how do I say this, how and where in Gringotts do I go to find out information on my family and what they may have perhaps left me?" "Mr. Potter is you telling me that you don't know anything about the potter inheritance?" "Well, Hagirid the gameskeeper at Hogwarts told me that my parents left me a little- ""A little!!!! Boy! Do you have any idea how powerful and rich your parents were, coming from only a low goblin like myself I shouldn't be saying this, but your parents were by far some of the wealthiest people in the wizarding world."
"I will gladly hook you up with Snorktooth the head of wills, he must have at least several documents you need to read. " "Um, thank you Mr. Wompag."
Harry was then strolled away from the goblins by a big and more intimidating goblin who told him to follow him to the will department, on the way the goblin kept giving nervous glances at Harry and asked him if he knew anything about wizarding standards for someone who hides a person's inheritance. "O yes, Mr. Potter you can get up to twenty years in the wizarding prison for it. And that is if the family isn't that big I remember back in 1680 or so there was this one really powerful family whose inheritance was hidden and the person who hid it got life for it."
The goblin had just got done telling him about this, when, he was then lightly pushed into this office that was almost as big the Gringotts main hall itself. "Mr. Snorktooth Mr. Potter is here to see you, he uh, has no knowledge of his lets say…fortune. "
"Yes, yes thank you Yonwing you are dismissed" The goblin who had took Harry here bowed deeply to the olden goblin affront of him then rushed out of the room.
"So, Mr. Potter is I deaf or did I just hear my colleague say you have no knowledge of the Potter's Legacy? Quite fascinating and ironic at the same time." Smiled the aged goblin with a grin that could probably paralyze a unicorn in its track. Let me just see who your guardian is first off. The goblin snapped his fingers and a computer rose from beneath his desk. The goblin seeing Harry's face just smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Potter unlike some of your kind who are absolutely arrogant and have no sense in technology or what muggles have accomplished, us goblins have found that it is quite resourceful and needy in a bank at least. "
"Please, Mr. Potter sits down and waits quietly while I get the information needed." Harry sat down on this very smooth wooden chair that was affront of the goblins desk, and sat for almost five minutes then heard the goblin start joyously hollering praises to some unknown deity or something.
"Mr. Potter it appears that a Mr. Albus Percival Wulfric Dumbledore is your guardian by magic of course. This means in lamest turns he is in no position at the moment to do much of anything. However, I would advise you to just wait before you charge him with this, just because you do not have your inheritance in knowledge and you do not know wizard etiquette or anything of the sort. ""Sir, I am still lost I thought I only own a little of gold that I had in that one vault?"
Harry will never know if the gruffly noise that followed that statement was a laugh, a cough, or something else, the goblin just kept making that noise for a few minutes then asked if Harry would like some tea while they talked.
"Mr. Potter you are by far one of the most wealthiest families in existence, your family line goes back to almost the beginning of goblins themselves which was a very long time ago if I may say so myself. You could probably buy this place if you wanted without any worries if that was your wish, but I wouldn't want that…anyway back on track. Mr. Potter may I ask did you even receive your will when you turned 11?" "No…all I have is a cloak of my fathers." "THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! ONLY A CLOAK! I am terribly sorry Mr. Potter for yelling I did not attract it to you I assure you. "
Mr. Potter come with me I want to show you your family's vault I will show you how to go past with the inheritance as a minor. "
Harry got into a cart that was right behind the goblins desk and they started zooming away swirling and almost crashing into every other curve, Harry suspected that the goblin has done this many times considering that the goblin was by its grin on its face was having fun. "Almost there Mr. Potter!" Yes, this will be the end of you Dumbledore! This is perfect, the Potters Legacy is huge! I will still respect your privacy on this just close your eyes and call for the connection to reopen and I will know good day Potter!
They finally stopped with what seemed like hours but after he checked his watch found out it had only been about 10 minutes' tops. The goblin noticing this too just shrugged his shoulders and said goblin magic. They came to a halt finally affront of two big wooden doors and the goblin explained that this was vault number eleven which was one of the most dangerous vaults to open considering it was lethal if you wasn't a true Potter. "So are you telling me there are things that can kill you if you aren't a certain person?" " Mr. Potter this is hard to explain you see a lot of the wards and such around these areas were made by the family blood itself us goblins do not study this stuff to keep the treaty we have your kind so we do not know what kind of stuff is on it. "
The door seemed to be alive when he steeped forward. The door then boomed a big baritone voice, "Who dares attempt enter the notorious vault of the long and lost Potter's?" "My name is Harry James Potter and I would like entrance to this vault uhh please?" "The door then vanished and a smaller one was there and then he heard the voice once more," Go forth young child, and take the Potter challenge if ye proceed and win and be the victor then ye shall be the true heir and are worthy to step forth into the greatness within. ""Harry shuddered from the iciness of the voice then started off to the door, he opened it and saw a golden light circle him then fade, and he opened the door and stepped in.
MUWHAWHAHAAHAH, THIS IS YOUR LAST DAY OF LIVING BOY RETREAT OR DIE! Harry not knowing where the voice came from took out his wand and cast "lumos" His wand tip flared up and he almost stumbled over when he saw a golden dragon standing aren't of him, who by the way was by the looks of it licking his lips. Harry opened his mouth to scream but no voice came out, the dragons eyes turned red then turned back to its golden aura. YOU HAVE PASSED STAGE 1! YOU DID NOT FEAR ME! JUST UH MEARLY SURPRISED AND SUCH I SUPPOSE. Harry inched away slowly to the next door that just appeared magically.
He opened the door and quickly steeped in, boy wasn't that a mistake. He was snatched up automatically and his wand tip went out, WELL, WELL, WHO DO WE HAVE HERE? Ah, A LITTLE BOY TO EAT! Harry knowing that his doom was at end shot the only spell he could come to mind an "incendio" spell and then closed his eyes when he saw a big mouth heading towards him. The mouth stopped just right outside the crouching and shivering boy and said,"WELL DONE CHAP! YOU STILL ATTACKED EVEN WHEN YOU KNEW THE END WAS NEAR; YES I WOULD SAY YOU ARE TRULY A POTTER!
Harry then landed softly on his feet and the room disappeared back into the outside of the big two wooden doors and the door opened and the goblin yelled to him to ask the vault to let him in so that way he may help him with business. Harry told the vault to let his guide in and the goblin then was sucked into the vault.
"Now Mr. Potter I would like to…The goblin never got odne with him sentence for his eyes had galleions reflecting from them, when he saw the big pile that kep pilig up and up more and more every second. It looks like you wont have to worry about going bankrupt Mr. Potter said a very startled goblin. Harry then asked if he could get a list of what the vault contained. A piece of paper appeared out of thin air and he saw that it kept getting longer and longer.
The goblin took the parchment and his eyes went wide enough to pop out but never did, the goblin then let out a humongous gasp and tried to say something but all that came out was a bunch of nonsense stuttering. The goblin tooka big breath then finally was able to say, " Mr. Potter you have approximately thirty seven trillion seven hundred eighty three billion three hundred million and five galleions. And that is just galleons Mr. Potter!" Harry's mouth dropped flat down like a guy looking at a naked girl or something. There was a very long pause until a big pile of gold appeared by Harry which made him have to get out of the way.
"What else does it have Mr. Snorktooth?" "It has the wands from all of your deceased descendants in the "graveyard level" "Graveyard level?! The goblin smiled once more toothly and said that all ancient blood families have a graveyard level, and many more usually. "Anyway Mr. Potter, you still have 296 documents to sign from different companies, and you have many other items, but first I think it would be best if you took the inheritance orbs so you may have the knowledge you will need." "What is an inheritance orb?" The goblin just shook his head in disbelief from some of thse so called high families and just told him to go to the "Head of the house level" The goblin bowed and told Mr. Potter to rejoin him outside again when he is ready to gain every thing else needed.
Harry walked up a huge pile of stairs, starting to guess there were more stairs here than the astronomy tower itself if not double the amount. He finally reached the stone passage and cam eto a solid stone door that said in golden letters "head of house" He went to open the door and the door vanished out of sight and instead there was a room full of bright light.
He walked over to a table in the middle of the room and not knowing what to do said the most stupidest thing alive "hello?"
A book appeared after a few minutes and it opened up, but instead of musty old pages there were four orbs there with different colors. Harry being the curious little kid he was picked up the first one he saw and was sucked into a vortex of some sort. He saw many different things going around him. He then was pulled back into the living and for some odd reason knew everything needed about the different businesses he owned and etc.
He then figuring that these must be some sort of orb that gives you info fast took the next one which was plum colored but shining with a rose, he saw different women and men surprisingly who looked like himself and other redheads swirling around then he came back once more but this time he knew everything about the Potter history.
Harry getting more bored for their really wasn't much action took the next one which was somewhat intriguing considering it was gold on one side and the other side was dark.
He lifted it up but it didn't do nothing. He shook it once more and still nothing. Harry placed it back down and tried the other one but it didn't do nothing either. Then the sorting hat was sitting by him.
"Ah, I had a good feeling we would be meeting in a different place than the castle You see young Potter the potters as you know are the only living heirs to Gryffindor. And at that not many of your descendants were even heirs for their low blood, but none the less I am here to help you activate the last two for they contain extreme knowledge in dueling and other forms of magic which I must warn you to use quite carefully. For it can corrupt you and the Potter's will not be able to control the ancestral house of Gryffindor if this happens And lastly, once this is done I will serve as the hat until you die then you will be embedded in here, and that is an honor my young Potter. You have been warned good luck" And with that the hat disappeared.
Harry attempted to pick up both orbs at the same time lightening started arriving all over him, he saw different kinds of things happening from ancestral beings who were so obviously potters it wasn't funny. Harry started tofeel many pulls of magic being flown into him, many different colors started being shown in his eyes, he knew knowledge then that he even doubted Dumbledore knows. He landed on the floor with sweat piled high on him. He had no idea what to do after that. He just walked out of the room and went back to the goblin and said that they would finish everything else up later.
And with the most smallest of white lights possible he disappeared from the goblins view not even making a single sound of a pop or nothing. The goblin went back upto his office very amazed, confused, bewildered, and in shock, for he had just seen the impossible, he had seen someone disappear from Gringotts without any trouble at that. The goblin shrugged his spiky shoulders and pulled out a bag of lemon drops and muttered to himself, " Absolutely impossible, this calls for a lemon drop, no, a big bag of lemon drops, that is at least one thing Albus knows what is good for you. "
