Don't own Harry Potter

Chapter 3
Harry and John appeared before a huge castle complete with a drawbridge, a mote, and lastly huge dinosaurs and dragons.
"Wow," said Harry in amazement.
John simple nodded then asked for entrance. The drawbridge suddenly opened. Inside was bigger than the outside looked like. The carpet was pure silk and had a raven and a griffin flying on it, literally.
"Okay John, what the hell is going on here? I have never healed that fast, even in the dark. How are you so big, and why is the carpet moving?"
John just look at Harry with tears in is eyes. "Master Harry has awakened his dark bending powers. Master and mistress Potter would be proud."
Harry asked what he meant.
"Don't know. Mistress Lily would not tell John, but did tell me to tell you that a diary is in the vault. I send someone to get it," the elf explained.
Harry just nodded. After awhile John started to say, "Most house elves are about one to one and a half feet tall. Now your great great granddad was a great scientist and found a way to make some bigger and stronger. He called us guard elves. The maids have been devolved so they can work constantly, work with no sleep. And the cooks can memorize recipes in a heartbeat; also they can test for poison since they are immune to all including but not limited to Basilisk venom. Um, what else? Oh, yes, you have an accountant division that is in constant communication to your vaults in Gringotts. Speaking of which, we need to get you to Gringotts to get a list of your powers."
Harry nodded. "Assemble." Hundreds of elves came and greeted Harry. "First off, is there any here that don't want to be?" No elf said anything. "Good now if you want to leave tell me anytime. Is there anyone here that wants to be my personal elf to serve me in all my needs?" They were all quiet, until one female elf came up
"Master we been training a baby elf when you were born and she is ready master sir." With that being said a rather large elf, but not as large as the guard elf, not as organized as an accountant but still more than the others appeared before Harry. She didn't have the get up of a cook but Harry new she could cook.
"Right, what is you name?" he asked her.
The elf simple said in a proud and somewhat respectful tone, "Lily sir! Your mother named me because she wanted to name me her name."
Harry smirk at that. He asked her about her abilities and was answered that she was proficient in all areas and just needed to be bonded to him.
"How would you be bonded?" asked Harry.
"Master just need to draw some of your blood and put it on my face and say that 'I bond Lily the House Elf to my person' and poof me bonded sir," explained Lily.
Harry did just that and in a brilliant flash of light Lily had on silk robes with pure gold lining them. On the robe was many crests and the robe it self was changing color.
"Why are there a lot of crests on your robe Lily?" asked a confused Harry.
"Master must be heir to all the families," guessed Lily.
"What is the Potter crest?" Harry could barely get the words out. He was so amazed by this turn of events.
"The one with a pot and Griffin on it."
One of the many elves answered him. Harry told them to get back to what ever it was they were doing. He also wanted to have the best of what they made in the dinning room bright and early.
"Right this way master. Mistress Lily personally prepared a room for you," his elf said as she led him further into the castle.
Harry was lead to a room with almost all of it in black. He noticed on the king size bed was three undamaged stuff animals and a torn up rat. "What is with the animals?"
Lily looked proud and said, "Those are the animagus forms of your father and his friends: the Stag your father, the wolf James Lupin, the dog your godfather and the betraying rat Peter Pettigrew."
"How did he become a betrayer?"
Lily answered, "He sold them out to Voldimort then blamed your godfather and got him thrown into Azkaban."
Harry yelled, "Is he still alive?"
Lily looked sad and responded, "I knows not sir. I go punish myself for failing you sir." With that she started to hit her head against the wall with a reasonable thud.
"Stop Lily!" Lily stopped at once. "First off, never beat yourself. Mistakes happen. Second, maybe you can find out where he is."
Lily look overwhelmed with joy. "Of course sir! Me is getting to it right away!" With that, she left for who knows where. Harry smiled. Finally he was home.
The next day, a phoenix appeared in his bed and gave him a letter.
Dear Mr. Potter,
You must return to your aunt's and uncle's house now. You are in danger anywhere I don't know where you are. Here is your letter to Hogwarts. See you September 1st
Harry laughed and the phoenix left. The young boy went to the dinning hall and saw the best elves of each department.
"Good morning," greeted Harry as he entered. The elves wished him a good morning too. "First off, no beating yourselves no matter what." The elves were shocked stupid. "Second, you are now in charge of your division."
They nodded and left. Harry called Lily and she came.
"Okay, how much money do I have to spend?" he questioned.
Lily answered with, "Enough so that your descendents have not to worry about working at all."
Harry chuckled and said, "Lets go to Gringotts!"
They flooed there and went to a teller. When they were almost there someone yelled, "Look! It's Harry Potter!" Harry looked over and saw a family of redheads. There was a young girl, a boy who looked like he was going to faint, one set of twins, one pompous looking redhead, one redhead who looked like an employee of the bank, then the parents.
The girl rushed over and said, "My brother will try to get money out of you. Watch out."
Harry nodded and thanked her. The boy came over and pushed his sister out of the way.
"Wow! You look every bit of what was described by the books. Except your eyes, green, disgusting! Well, you could probably get those changed. I heard you had millions of galleons. Maybe you could be what you are said to be and give it away?" asked the greedy boy.
"Ron!" yelled the employee brother as he ran over to where they stood. "You will not ask money out of people you don't know! And add to the fact what if a goblin saw that…" He was interrupted by a goblin.
"Oh, but we did mister Weasley, we did."
The man paled a lot. "I am so sorry Director sir! I had no idea my baby brother or sister would hassle him for money."
Harry spoke up, "Actually, she warned me about him Mister, uh…"
The goblin looked at him then said, "Smith, Ebony Smith."
The young girl whispered to Harry, "My name is Ginny and that is Bill and thank you."
Harry simple nodded. He turned to the goblin. "I need to make a withdrawal and also see if my personal elf can access my vaults."
Ebony nodded than asked, "Do you have your keys?"
Harry gave a negative.
"Well, who does?"
Harry replied, "I was told someone at Gringotts had them."
The director look mad. Just then, Bill came up.
"Sir, if it's all right with you I would like to look for the keys to make up for my brothers greed."
The director nodded then turned to Harry.
"Your parents told me personally to make sure you and only you have your keys. As it appears I have failed there, I shall pay for your school supplies," the goblin insisted. "Get what ever you want. It is on me."
Harry thanked him and told Lily to come with him. He thanked Bill and Ginny. He completely skipped over Ron and nodded to the others, then left. Ron turned to Bill.
"All right," Ron snickered. "Nice plan! Take his keys to get us money. Nice one."
Bill just hit him and said, "You idiot! You almost got me fired! You know the goblins don't like that thing you did. No, I am not going to take his money. When I find his keys, I am making up for what you did. Did you now that he will be the lord of several families when he comes of age?"
Ron was shocked. Ginny asked the director if Bill was going to get in trouble. The goblin said, "Since Mr. Potter did not press charges, no. But if it happens again then even if Harry doesn't press charges we would fire Mr. Weasley. Good day and happy hunting."
With that, he left for his office. Outside Harry was seething how dare that boy tell him his mom's eyes were disgusting and that he would give away his money to people he hardly knew.
At least not all of that family is money-grubbing idiots.
"Lily go back to the mansion and get an accountant elf. Tell him to work closely with this Bill guy. As soon as he finds the keys take them and give them to me," demanded Harry.
She nodded and left to tell the elves this. Harry went about his way and went to Flurish and Blots to buy his books. He got everything he needed except a Familiar and a wand. He went to the animal store and bought a snow-white owl and a magical pure black Alaskan husky. The husky could grow to an incredible size to fight and also could be a communicator to other animals for Harry since he could talk telepathically. He left to get his wand and went to Ollivander's. When he stepped in to the shop he saw an old man at the counter.
"Hello. I'm looking for a wand. Can you help me?"
The old man just looked up and smiled. "Ah, Mr. Potter! Welcome! Let's start shall we? Your great granddad took nearly 12 hours to find the right wand."
With that he brought out millions of boxes. 20 hours later Ollivander admitted to having no wands left.
"I heard that you can custom make wands. Would that work?" Harry asked.
Ollivander nodded and left. He returned with a lot of wood. "Just run your hand over the wood."
Harry did, causing two types of wood to glow. One glowed pure white while the other was illuminated in a jet-black glow.
"Oh, this is good. The white one is from White Tree of Gondor and the black one is deep from Gondor's mortal enemy from Mordor." He left only to come back with several different objects. "Do the same if you please."
Harry did again, and two different objects reacted.
"Oh, good. A demon's blood solidified and ground powder of a borlog bone. Now for the focusing item." He was about to leave when a bone chilling voice stopped him.
"He will use this."
They looked and saw a black hooded figure.
"Who are you?" asked Harry.
The figure looked at him and said, "I am a ring wraith, one of the nine who are your loyal servants." The newly named wraith took the materials and grabbed Ollivander. "You will make the wand at Mordor with the One Ring as the focusing object." He turned to Harry. "I will send some of our men to explain all that you need to know. Good day milord." He bowed, switched the sign that said open/closed, and disappeared. Some how Harry wasn't all that shocked at what just happened. He went over to the fireplace to floo home.
At the mansion, Lily had an accountant elf that had a sack in hand. "Here are your keys sirs." The elf handed him the sack and left. Harry opened the bag and saw many keys. He grinned and thought about that one kid who said he had millions. He shook his head and went inside to await the messenger. He told the elves about them so they won't freak out.
