Chapter 5
Hi peoples, sorry it is taking so long to get this typed up. Real life has pretty much kicked my butt. Had to go between the hospital and the doctors for the past 3 months for my baby girl and she is only 15 months. But she is better now and I now have some time to type this up. Thanks for all your patients and your reviews.

"Speech"
'Thoughts'
-Written-
Last time:
-Well now we know your birthdays. - wrote Harry.
Now: (continuing scene)
"And that we are both 17 yrs old" said Trowa.
"As you are of age in the wizarding world you both come into your inheritances and the Potter will can now be read." The Director said.
"Wait, you mean that the will hasn't been read yet? I thought that was why we got Harry." Petunia stated.
"No Dumbledore sealed the will until the Potter Heir was 17 which is Nathaniel"- the Director started to say.
"Trowa Please" interrupted Trowa.
"Now that Trowa is 17 and here the will can be unsealed," The director finished.
-While the rest of the names on the list state which of us is Heir what about the founders? - asked Harry
"Founders?" Heero asked
-Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Slytherin founded Hogwarts, my school so everyone calls them the founders. - wrote Harry
"I have one of those names on my list." Said Duo
-Which one? –
"Slytherin" was the reply
-Really, huh. Director I thought that Riddle was the Slytherin Heir. –
The director shuffled some papers around until he found the one pertaining to the Slytherin Heir. "Apparently it came to Duo when you killed him as a baby."
-Anyway what about the founders? –
"Oh since all 3 of you have your own titles you get to choose which one suits you the best." Was the answer
"Huh?" said Trowa and Heero
-Ravenclaw was smart, Hufflepuff was loyal, and Gryffindor was brave; Qualities they were known for. –
"What about mine?" asked Duo.
-Slytherin was cunning. –
"Huh, that's you alright Maxwell." Stated Wufei
"Which do you want Harry?" Quatre asked
-What about Trowa and Heero? –
"You know more, which one would be best for us?" asked Heero
"Just based on what you Know so far about us." Said Trowa
-Hmm… Trowa… oh this is hard… um … Trowa Hufflepuff… Heero…Ravenclaw-
"This leaves you with Gryffindor." Dudley said "But why those?"
-Trowa and Heero are very smart to survive the war and are also very loyal, but Trowa will show his loyalty more than Heero would. –
"But what about you?" Dudley asked
-Gryffindor um… because I'm in his house at school is the only reason.-
"Not so young man, what about all those adventures you get into?" said Aunt Petunia
"WHAT?" Asked six voices
-tell you later, so what do you think about the choices? –
They all looked at each other then Heero and Trowa nodded to each other and said "That sounds fine."
"Good, Griphook get me the papers on those names."
"Yes sir" came the reply as Griphook headed out the door.
"Harry what are the other two names on your list from?" asked Quatre
-I think the Black fortune; right Director? –
"Yes Harry" he replied "Now for Mr. Chang in order to receive your inheritance you must make contact with the remaining Chang Clan here on Earth."
"There are still members here on Earth?" Wufei asked hopefully
"Yes, Harry knows one of them from his school."
-Oh, Cho Chang- Harry wrote
"Yes, Now Mr. Winner on the other hand has access to his trust vault, but must wait until he turns 17 to gain full access." The Director said.
"Mr. Neilson-Maxwell on the other hand is different. The Founders stipulated that theirs can be taken at 16 yrs of age instead of 17 yrs, or if they are titled before 16 yrs in the case of Harry. Now the Neilson title can only be taken at 17 no matter if you have another title or not. My advice, take the title but don't flaunt it." He told Duo
"Why?" he asked
-Voldermort –
"Who?" everyone asked except for Petunia
-Voldermort, he is the recreation of Tom Riddle, believed to be Slytherin's only Heir. – Harry wrote
"Yes if you take it then he no longer can have access to the Vaults." Stated the Director
-Take it Duo- Harry stressed
"OK" Duo gulped (Harry had sent him a glare that was up there with both of his brothers)
-Aunt while were out can I get some supplies? – Harry asked
"Yes Harry as long as it doesn't take too long." She replied
"So everyone who is able to take his title will take their titles yes?" asked the Director
"Yes" they said while Harry nodded to the Director
"Alright to take the titles you need to put the Lord rings on and see if the magic accepts you." He told them
"You talk as if they won't." stated Wufei
"If there is a contest against the Lord the magic will test to see is better ranked of the Lordship, or a hidden Heir, understand?" The Director asked
"Yes" they said and Harry nodded.
"Ok, first let's do Trowa; here is the Potter ring and the Hufflepuff ring. The Potter ring goes on your right ring finger and the Hufflepuff on your first finger on your left hand." He said as he handed the rings to Trowa to put on. "Now your official Title will be Nathaniel Potter-Hufflepuff."
"Ok, but you can still call me Trowa everyone." He said as he put the rings on.
"Heero here is the Evans ring and the Ravenclaw ring, same placement as Trowa's." He said to Heero as he handed him the rings. "Your Title will be Matthew Evans-Ravenclaw."
"Hnn… Heero." Heero said (in Heero speak) while he put his rings on.
"Now Duo here is the Slytherin ring it goes on the left first finger. The Nielson family does not have an Heir ring just a Lord ring. For now you are Tristian Maxwell-Slytherin it will become Nielson-Maxwell-Slytherin when you come of age and come back for the other ring."
"Yep but I'm still Duo!" Duo almost yelled as he put his ring on
"Now Harry the Gryffindor ring goes on the left like the other founder rings, the Black will go on your right ring finger and the Madrigal ring will go on your right first finger." Harry was told as he was handed the rings.
"Now Quatre here is the Heir ring, not the Lord ring for the Winner family, it goes on your right middle finger. Your name will not change except to have Lord put in front of it when you come for your Lord ring." He was told as he put his ring on.
"Does this mean that there is Lord in front of all our names now?" asked Duo
"Yes" Ragnorok stated. "Wufei once you contact the rest of your family have the Elders mail me this form and then come back before school starts and then you can have your ring that is held in trust but requires the signatures of at least three Elders and they cannot not sign it to hold it from you." He told Wufei.
When they left Gringotts they each had a debt card connected to their Vaults. They headed to Olivanders to get them wands and then they went to Flourish and Blots to get them books from the first five years, but they had to wait to get Harry's 6th year books because he had to learn silent casting first.
When Harry went to get Hedwig some treats the others each found a familiar while they were there.
Trowa found a light black almost Gray Panther with Teal eyes, Quatre found a Peregrine Falcon with Green eyes. Duo found a pair of German Shepherds one with Black eyes and the other with Persian Blue eyes, Heero found a Siberian Wolf Husky with Violet eyes, and Wufei found a Red-Breasted Hawk with Brown eyes.
"You do know that the Panther and Wolf will have to stay with your friends? Your Uncle is allergic to Cats and Dogs." Aunt Petunia told them.
"Bummer dudes but we will take good care of them and bring them to meet you when your Uncle is not there." Stated Duo
"Hey Harry how is your education?" asked Quatre
-Which one Muggle or Wizard? –he wrote
"Muggle!" everyone asked
-Means non-magical-
"Well?" Quatre asked again.
-Um… 5th level in magic and I guess 10th grade in Muggle.-
"10th how Harry?" asked Petunia
-Um… I used Dudley's school books during the summer they were very easy.-
"Hmm… lets get you a placement test just to be sure you understood them." She said
-Ok; Um… Aunt could we go clothes shopping now? –
"Yes but we can't take all afternoon." She replied
When they got home from shopping with everything, Harry went to unpack and his Aunt went to schedule Harry's test and make tea for everyone.
"Animals out back around the house not through except for the birds, please." She said before they could walk in.
"Petunia could Harry and Dudley come stay with us for the summer? You and Vernon could come too if you want to."Quatre asked while she made tea.
"Harry Tea time" she yelled before she answered Quatre "Let me talk to Vernon tonight." She stated "but they can spend the night tonight if all the chores are done by the time your Uncle/father gets home." She told all four boys.
"YES! Come on we'll help you guys."Duo shouted.
"Duo no shouting in the House." Petunia said before they could escape the kitchen after the tea was finished.
With the help of all the boys the chores were completed with plenty of time to spare, even making dinner for everyone. The timer rang for the meat just as Vernon walked in the door.
"Good, Uncle Dinner is done." Stated Trowa
"Good, I'm hungry." Vernon said.
"Vernon could the boys stay with their friends this summer?" asked Petunia during the middle of dinner (more like towards the end but there was no desserts)
"Where and with whose parents?" Vernon asked
"Um… with me and the muganacs here in London or on L-4 or anywhere else. We don't have any parents left alive, though I still have 28 sisters left who are all older than me, I guess one of them would come and stay with us. Although you and Petunia are welcome to stay with us also." Quatre said.
"Harry will those people care if we are not here?" asked Vernon
-Um… I don't know for sure; I was told as long as I reside with someone of my mothers blood l would be protected they didn't say that I had to stay in the same house. Let me write someone and ask but I don't think they would care right now. – Harry wrote
"Why little brother?" asked Trowa
-well its been a week and I haven't heard from anyone and I was told that I couldn't go back until my voice was back or I learn silent casting, and Dumbledore doesn't think that my voice will ever be back. –
"What did the Doctors say?" Asked Wufei
"That it was too soon to tell if it was permanently damaged or not. But he was not to speak at all to help his throat heal. By the way Harry, this came in the mail today." Petunia told them as she gave Harry the letter that was very thick.
"Whose it from Harry?" asked Trowa
-Um… Hermione I think. –
"Well open it and find out." Heero said.
Dear Harry,
This is a letter from me, but there two other letters in here from Luna and Neville. I asked Ron and Ginny if the wanted to write you also, but they said that Dumbledore said that we couldn't write you for the fear of being traced. I told them I was going to send it this way to through the pures of the track cause we both know that they would not know about the muggle system, they still said no and for me not to write you period cause that is what Dumbledore said. The Twins said to ignore the brats and gave me a letter to put in here also. Anyway how are you doing? Does your throat hurt a lot still? Are the rents treating you ok? Don't forget to write the Order every 3 days and write to Dumbledore if you're scar hurts and you have visions. Write me back at the address on the envelope and I'll see that they get sent to the right people.
Your friend,
Hermione (Harmony)
Dear Harry,
I sent this to Harmony because I figured that she could get this to you in a way that wouldn't be traced. How are you doing? You were hurt worse out of every one of us who went with you. Even though Ron and Ginny were acting that theirs is worst. If you can get the hang of silent casting Grandmum said that she would force the board to let you come back, and to practice you can come over in July for our birthdays. Your Aunt and Uncle could come if they want to see a wizard Manor. Write me back through Harmony.
Your friend,
Neville (Vengeance)
Dear Justice,
The Wrackspurts have gotten to Ron and Ginny. Be careful around them! That's why I told you not to let them in on the code names. How are you truthfully? Be honest to us and Harmony she really cares be your name. Say hi to your brothers for me and let them know that their actions were needed and that they can now learn to live just for themselves and their others.
Truth
Dear Silent Partner,
We must tell you that you must not trust our brother and sister anymore. We went home to get some of our products that were still up in the attic and heard Dumbles and them in his room talking about how to split your trust Vault up now that you weren't coming back, we asked Bill if the Goblins would give away the Vaults of someone who couldn't speak and hadn't completed schooling. He said that unless they were dead than the Goblins would not give anything away. We also talked to Dad and Charlie and they still care and want you to come back. Mom says that you are always invited over and to write if you need help or food. Visit our new store and see our products you get a discount.
Forge &Gred
-Wow one from Hermione, one from Neville, one from Luna, and one from Gred and Forge; Aunt would you read this one, Heero and Trowa need to read this one. – Harry wrote as he handed Luna's letter to his brothers and Neville's letter to his Aunt and Uncle.
"Harry who is Truth and how did she know about us and them?" asked Heero.
-Truth is Luna's nickname and as to how we don't exactly know, but she is never wrong, and I don't care that you have "others". You are all my friends no matter what. –
"WHAT! How did you know about that?" asked Duo (after he did a spit take into Dudley's face with his water) "Sorry Dud."
"It's ok Duo just please don't do that again."
"Sure Dud." Said Duo
-Um… because it's easy to tell Duo it is in the little things. –
"Harry who is Vengeance and why is he called that?" asked Uncle Vernon
-Ok here's the deal; Harmony, Truth, and Vengeance are my friends. We formed a group and then gave each of us a nickname that represented us; after my father and godfather's group. Hermione is Harmony because she can keep cool even the most hot headed person we know. Luna is Truth because even if we don't tell her something she knows the truth anyway. Neville is Vengeance because he is like me an orphan somewhat. His parents were driven crazy by a spell so they don't even know him really and he was raised by his Grandmother and people thought he had no magic, so he got vengeance on all of them by proving he had magic. Because they were mean, and he wants vengeance on the person who cursed his parents. –
"What about yours?" Asked Wufei
-Huh? –
"Truth writes to Justice, I assume that's you." Wufei said
-Oh, yeah. Well I'm supposed to kill this evil Dark Lord who killed my parents (he gave his aunt and uncle a look here ( as someone was reading this out loud for the rest of the people)) but I also want Justice for other species and for half-bloods and muggle-born and Squibs. So the nicknamed me Justice. –
"Squib? I get the rest except for the other species but what are Squibs?" asked Dudley
-Squibs are people who were born to wizards and witches who have no magic of their own. –
"Alright boys go pack for the next two weeks." Said Uncle Vernon when everyone was done.
-You mean we can go? –
"Yes but you need to be back 3 days before the 1st of July so that you can get ready to go to Neville's. So this is your Vacation, don't forget to write Neville and let him know that the boys and your Aunt will go. But I have work that I can't get out of because we have a big client coming to look at buying the company out." Vernon replied
"Who dear and will you still have a job?" asked Petunia
"Yes I'll still have a job and it is someone from M.L. Inc." said Vernon
"Um… Vernon may I ask if you know what M.L. stands for?" asked Quatre.
"You can ask but I don't know what it stands for only the people on the board know what it stands for. Everyone else only knows it as M.L. Inc." Vernon said
"Um… M.L. Inc stands for Marauders, Lily Incorporated and I'm the one from the board that is reviewing Grunnings." Stated Quatre
-Marauders, Lily… um… Q do you know who the owners are? –
"Yes only one of the owners is still alive though." Quatre stated
-Remus Lupin –
"Yes how did you know?" Quatre asked Harry
-The name…Marauders were Remus Lupin, Sirus Black, Peter Pettigrew, and James Potter. –
"Well all of the names except Peter Pettigrew were on the title." Q explained
-Good; has Remus been around in the past 16 years? –
"No he was there for the first year but after that he passed it off to the board." Q said
-I need to write Remus and see who is in charge of it now. –
"Anyway, Vernon if you want you could take a week off that month and visit the wizards Manor." Q said
"Thank you Quatre but you will need to talk to my boss. But I would like to see a wizard's Manor. Go pack Boys."
As Harry was packing he decided to write to Dumbledore and to Remus.
Dear Professor,
If I go on vacation with my aunt is the protection still active or is it just for home? Please let me know by Friday if not so we can change plans if needed please.
Harry Potter
Dear Mooney,
I know I just wrote you but do you know M.L. Inc.?
Lance
-Quatre, Wufei can I barrow your birds please? –
"Will they know who to deliver it to and how to come back?" asked Wufei
-Yes it is instinctive; once they are bought they will always come back to you. –
"Very well, yes you can barrow them, but I still need to get in touch with my clan." Wufei said
-Just write a letter to the Elder of the Clan and I will write one to Cho and have here give it to the Elder of the clan. –
"Ok we will do it tomorrow when one of the birds come back." He said
-What did you name you're familiars anyway guys? –
"Xiang" stated Wufei
"Achilles" said Quatre
Heero said "Zero"
"Figures, mine are Helen and Padre" said Duo
"Nice Duo, mine is Shekan" Trowa said
-Ok after I send these off we can go. –
"Dudley lets go!" yelled Duo
"Coming" Shouted Dudley
"No yelling in the House" stated Aunt Petunia
"Sorry mum" said Dudley
"Sorry" said Duo
