A/N: This is obviously a rewrite of Harry Potter and the Inheritance of Power, and as previously mentioned will be set in an Alternative non-canon world (although it will follow canon to a point). If this isn't your thing I suggest you re-read the books as a completely canon fan-fiction isn't a fanfic at all. Also any flamers shall be ridiculed.
Harry slowly regained consciousness, feeling as if he had been run over by a hippogriff – which considering Uncle Vernon's immense size, wasn't that far from the truth, he mused dazedly. Quickly locating his glasses, he absently noticed that his inner magical core was already working to dull the pain and soreness and heal any serious injuries. His magic had been doing this since he was about five, although at the time he didn't know that was what it was. The process was even intelligent enough to leave the surface injuries, such as bruises and scratches, un-healed so that the Dursley family didn't catch on to this fact. Looking around, he noticed a letter on his make-shift desk. Stiffly getting up and walking to his desk, he noticed a green wax seal he did not recognize on the flap. The seal was that of two War Axes imposed upon a large capital G. That being evident, he believed he knew where the letter came from. He opened the seal with a suddenly trembling hand, only to be proved correct in his assumptions as to the identity of the sender. The question he asked himself, though, was 'Why are the Goblins writing to me?' Knowing that the only way to find out would to be to read the letter in question, he unfolded it fully and read...

Dear Mr. H. J. Potter,
Pursuant to the treaties between the King of the Goblin Race and The Wizengamot of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, we, as required, hereby respond to your missive received by us on the 15th of June. Unfortunately, whilst we sympathise with your Grief, and indeed we do as we have always liked the previous Lord Black, we are unable to comply with your written request that The Chief Warlock, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, attend the coming Will Reading of Lord Sirius Orion Black, of The Moste Ancient and Noble House of Black, in your place, nor are we able to comply with your additional request that any and all bequethments be split between the same Chief Warlock and one Ginevra Molly Weasley regardless of her position in your House. The reason we can not comply with these aforementioned requests is due to having received instructions from the deceased Lord Black implicitly forbidding such an action. Therefore your presence is required as soon as possible at our London Branch. If you have any further questions, requests, concerns or problems please feel free to Owl us at our branch in London.
Regards,
Gemtooth
Senior Department Manager,
Inheritance and Wills Department
GRINGOTTS London
Harry stared at the letter in shock for a moment, before realizing he would have to respond. That being said, he quickly got his stationary out and started writing what he hoped would come out as a formal letter.
From: Harry James Potter.
To: Senior Department Manager Gemtooth, Inheritance and Wills Department, Gringotts Wizarding Bank, London.
Dear Gemtooth,
It is with abject confusion that I find myself writing this letter, as I do not recall writing any such missive, or indeed, any letter to Gringotts other than this one. Therefore, whilst I would never presume to doubt your knowledge or your word in this situation, there is, I am sure you will agree, something amiss in this situation.
Expectantly,
Harry James Potter
Closing the flap, Harry was shocked that a wax seal bearing a rampant Griffin imposed over a crossed staff and sword materialised over it. Of course, Harry didn't recognize the Coat of Arms, for if he did, the shock could have possibly thrown him back into unconsciousness. The seal in question had been used for centuries by the Potter family to mark official correspondences. Unaware of this, Harry shrugged off his surprise and called his faithful snowy owl, Hedwig, to him and kindly asked her to deliver his letter. She responded favourably with a series of happy barks before affectionately nipping his ear on her way out the window. This being done, Harry lay down on his ramshackle bed to await a reply.
A/N: That's chapter two of Harry Potter and the Inheritance of Power complete. Next chapter should be the Goblins response Please Read and Review.
