Chapter 2-Banking
In the office of Minerva McGonagall (it is a 12 hour trip to Hogwarts and the owl delivered the letters to the Potters in the morning, if the last chapter didn't say), where Pro. McGonagall had just put down the letter from the Potters in puzzlement and concern, concern for the fact that Harry the letters envelope was self addressed to the London Medical Center, 'A Hospital,' she thought and puzzlement from the letter saying that Harry has a brother, knowing that was impossible. Knowing that the request for help was in the letter, Minerva believed she would get her answers that way and after quilling off a note for Albus, she immediately left for London.
Arriving at the Leaky Cauldron during the lunchtime rush, McGonagall made her way out of the pub with out being notice too much and called for a Muggle cab – knowing more about the Muggle world than most wizards – save Arthur Weasley, to take her to the hospital. While at the hospital, Harry and John got an alert of another Bugster attack, and were dispatched by Emu. Back with Minerva as she enjoys the quiet drive in the cab to meet the Potters, before the cab abruptly swerves to avoid an explosion and a scaled wheel roll past, followed by an ambulance.
When Harry and John arrived on seen the Wheel Bugster was already formed and was rolling away from the scene. Returning to the ambulance as the driver took off in hot pursuit, narrowly missing a cab with a grey haired woman in the passenger seat. While in pursuit, the wheel Bugster shown it was too fast for the ambulance, so Harry went over to the special Gashat port, drew out a Gashat, activated the Gashat with the announcement of, "Pole Position," from the Gashat and then Harry installed the Gashat, then with the announcement of the theme song of the Pole Position cartoon, the ambulance reconfigured to a more race car like form and rocketed pass the wheel.
After they passed the wheel, Harry and John performed their 2nd level Henshins and prepared for battle. The battle was short with their Level 2 forms having the superior mobility and with that the Potters were victorious, meaning that they were finished with the mission and back at the hospital, in 10 minutes of mission start. Entering the Hospital, they were met with the elderly woman they saw in the taxi they passed following the wheel.
Time reverse 5 minutes:
The cab had just dropped off Minerva and the driver received his fair, before leaving to another job. Once the cab left, Minerva had then walk threw the front door (which opened automatically) and headed for the reception desk, where a young lady was typing away at the computer, before looking up and asked, "May I help madam," in a polite tone, thinking in approval Minerva then requested, "Excuse young lady, is a Mr. Harry Potter here? I am from Hogwarts!" just as politely and to her question, her answer was, "I am afraid that Intern H. Potter is on a callout with intern J. Potter madam," looking apologetic, "but if you are willing to wait, I am sure they won't be long," she adds as an after thought.
Deciding to wait, Minerva then headed for the hospital sitting area and picked up a magazine of interior decorating (it was an IKEA mag) and read a few articles to get a better picture of what is in on decorating, thinking it was time to modernize her office and found an article showing a mahogany office desk, with a built-in filing cabinet, extended area for a computer or something and a wood matching swivel chair (the wood texture and color are on the seat and back rest), before thinking, 'This would look good in my office and the price is right,' adding the last part when she saw the price was: [500£] which was a mark down from: [2000£] due to being last years model, but still popular. Continuing to look threw the mag Minerva found a sofa in matching wood, with red and yellow cushions for [600£] before she finished the mag and picked up a new one.
Minerva had just gotten a ¼ of the way threw the second mag, when the receptionist called her over saying, "Ma'am Intern H. Potter and Intern J. Potter have returned and have notified of your presents," from over the counter in a polite tone. With that announcement, 30 minutes later the sound of footsteps and idle chatter herald the arrival of 2 identical young boys, wearing white lab-style coats, that were modded to fit their younger ages and hanging from their necks were modified stethoscopes, under their coats they wore a crisp muggle suit and tie, all in all they looked – to Minerva, very well mannered and polite.\
Back to Harry and Johns POV:
"Madam McGonagall is it?" said Harry, at her surprised nod Harry then said, "You our letter then?" his answer was, "Yes Mr. Potter? I did," looking at the green eyed boy first spoke, before looking at the aquamarine eyed boy and asked, "You must be John Potter?" at his nod, Minerva then asked, "How? I know that James and Lily never had a second child," the last part of her statement caused some surprise for the Potters and John then replied, "The circumstances are difficult to explain, but know that I am of Potter blood and name," she nods and at Harry's directions she follows them to an office, where they explained everything.
Time skip past the explanation:
After a thorough breakdown of what was happened, with the Potter's not leaving out any details, as well as the fate of the Dursleys and how the orphanage was to full and getting their jobs, before finishing with the gamer virus and Bugsters, leaving Minerva satisfied with all of her questions and then she spoke of their parents and of Hogwarts. After speaking Hogwarts, the three then decide it was time to go and purchase their school supplies.
30 minutes of travel time later, Minerva then led the Potter to an out of the way tavern, which gave them the impression that it could only by seen by: them, entering the bar the Hogwarts Professor directed them to back door of the pub and slipped into the back alley. Once in the back alley, McGonagall open the passage way to a large market place and said, "Harry, John this Diagon Alley the wizard equivalent of a shopping center," gesturing to the cobblestone paths, before she point to a bleach white building and said, "That white building is Gringotts the Wizarding bank and our first stop," before encouraging the two to walk towards the bank.
On the way to the bank, Harry and John glanced around wishing they had several extra eyes, just so they didn't have to need a Cyropractor to look at everything. After a while, as the crowd began to get thicker as the bank got closer and once they got in front of the bank, they went in and queued with the first Goblin. Waiting in line had not taken long and the 3 were called to the counter, this was where Pro. McGonagall requested, "Mister Harry Potter wishes to see his account manager," looking up from his work, the goblin teller said, "Of course Lady McGonagall, I'll have Griphook escort you to Account Manager Odinbeard," before standing and shouting, "GRIPHOOK," as a new goblin arrived and had a conversation with the teller.
A little later, Griphook had the 3 follow him to Odinbeards office, where they were let in and the suited Goblin in the office, was told of the phenomenon that led to John birth and acceptance as Harry's brother, before Odinbeard then drew out his file of titled: [Potter Ledger] in platinum lettering. Reading threw the ledger, Odinbeard retrieved the lodged copy of the Last will and testament of James and Lily Potter, the contents of which said:
[I James Andrew Potter and I Lily Maria Potter of sound mind and soul, leave the following items to:
Remus John Lupin: we leave with the sum of; 1,000,000 galleons to do with as you wish and my selection of Dragonhide jackets.
Sirius Orion Black: We leave you with the sum of: 1,000,000 galleons to do with as you wish and custody of your Godson Harry James Potter.
Peter Anthony Pettigrew: You don't get anything you traitorous slime, you were our secret keeper and you've betrayed our trust, DIE FOR ALL WE CARE.
Alice Susan Longbottom: We leave you with a sum of: 1,000,000 galleons and my complete selection of the Battle Potions Series books, as well as custody of your godson if Sirius is unable to.
Francis Theodore Longbottom: We leave with the sum of: 1,000,000 galleons and my set of Battle Charms Series books.
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore: If you have followed threw with you vow to not interfere with the placement of our son, then you get the Golden Hall to use as a headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix meetings, in not then ROT IN HELL YOU LIAR.
Minerva Anne McGonagall: We leave with the sum of: 1,000,000 galleons and my set of Battle Transfigurations Series books.
And finally to our son: Harry James Potter, we leave you with the rest of the Potter estate and if you are not in the custody of your godparents then we give you your emancipation when turn 11.]
After the will was read Minerva said, "Oh Albus what have you done?" before narrowing her eyes and said, "What? Mr. Pettigrew was the secret keeper? How? Wasn't Sirius Black the secret keeper?" to the Goblin, to which the Goblin more grimly than normal nodded and said, "It would seem so, Lady McGonagall!" before sending summons for the head of the Department of Law Enforcement. While waiting for the arrival of Madam Bones, Odinbeard suggests, "Let us see what Harry and John are entitled to now they have signed their emancipation papers," observing the signature given by the Potter Brothers and with a nod, they did just that.
Retrieving and opening the file that states: Assets: Odinbeard read out:
[Potter Family Fortune:
Harry Potter Trust Vault: 1000 Galleons, 500 sickles and 250 nuts.
Potter Family Vault: 9,999,990 Galleons, 88,880 sickles and 7,770 nuts.
Peverelle Family Vault: 1,000,000,000 Galleons, 100,000,000 sickles and 10,000,000 nuts.
Hogwarts House Vault (Gryffindor {Paternal}): 1,000,000,000 Galleons, 100,000,000 sickles and 10,000,000 nuts.

Hogwarts House Vault (Ravenclaw {Maternal}):1,000,000,000 Galleons, 100,000,000 sickles and 10,000,000 nuts.]
After giving the boys a quick rough estimate of the amounts in British Pounds, the Potters were shocked stiff and they stayed that way until a new person entered the room with a cute cherry-red haired girl. After the shock had worn off they were introduced to the cute girl, who said, "Hi Harry, John my name is Susan Bones," in shy voice.
Potterformers Legend:
In this story as well, I am having so muggleborns are wizards and witches that are form magical lines that had been squibbed out, but still able to claim a purebloods inheritance, though that is only in the eyes of Goblins and a few Muggleborn supporters (Dumbledore only makes it seem as if he supports it) also I am not going to do that battle a Bugster every chapter, as this is a story of Harry and John going threw Hogwarts.
Potterformers Poll:
I'd like to have my readers' opinion on whether or not I should give Harry a custom wand and if I do what will, it be made from? If I do the custom route, I will be saying that the Holy with Phoenix Tail feather is a close match, due to remnants of Voldemorts Horcrux in his scar.
