Harry walks up the stairs and goes to Ron's room.
He is immediately tackled by Hermione and left breathless.
He says ''Hermione,I can't breath.'' and she releases him then says''Sorry.'' and Ron walks up to him and says ''How are you doing,mate?''
''I'm doing fine but how are the two of you after the World Cup fiasco?''
He was talking about the incident after Ireland had won the World Cup when several dark wizards started messing with muggles and wizards and causing mass panic when the dark mark had appeared in the sky which the Ministry believes was cast by Barty Crouch Sr.'s house elf who he had fired immediately afterwards.
''Oh,we're fine;Mum was a little shaken up about it but no one was harmed.''
''That's great,so what do the two of you want to do the rest of the day?'' Harry says.
''Well,Hermione and me were about to play some chess,do you want to join us in playing?'' Ron asked.
''Actually I just sorta want to read one of the books I got over the summer,'' Harry replies.
Harry pulls out his book called WWII:The Wizard's Perspective which was about the war against Gellert Grindelwald and he walked down into the living room and sat down in a chair and started to read the book. Around this time he just started to think about every thing going on in his life. The first thing he started to think about was the business he had with the goblins.A couple of weeks ago he received a letter that said this.
Dear Mr. Potter
We at Gringotts were just informed you have turned the age of fourteen.
This typically is not important however since you are the last in your
family you have several responsibility's that we must discuss with
you if you could come to Gringotts as soon as possible to talk about
them please do.
Ragnok
Head of Potter Finances
He was curious about what they wanted to talk about . He knew that the Potters had been purebloods before him so he knew they probably had more than a few vaults so maybe that's what they wanted to talk about but that was pure speculation into that but it was also convenient too because he had a chance to go see if his family had invested at all and had a portfolio to look at . He had also heard that the goblins had several rituals you could pay them to do that were very beneficial to him like a ritual to fix his eyes and to see if he had any abilities.
He was interrupted from his thoughts from the sound of Mrs. Weasley calling him dinner . Harry for gets up from the chair and sits down at the table and starts to wait . Everyone including Ron,Hermione,Ginny,Charlie,Bill,Fred,George,Molly,and Arthur sit down at the table and started eating so he joined them in eating too.
He started talking to Bill because he was curious about curse breaking.
''So you're telling me that learning occlumency really helps in warding?'' Harry asked.
''Yes,because beside it defending your mind it also helps you focus on one thing so you don't cause an accident to happen.''
''Well,I was wondering if you could teach me it as it would be quite useful to learn.''
''I would be happy to teach you,Harry but I don't know if Professor Dumbledore would allow it during the school year,''
''I will talk to the Headmaster and see if I can convince him to allow me to have these lessons.''
The rest of the meal went on without anything really going on so afterwards Harry went to Ron's room and got in his bed to go to sleep.
Harry woke up at 9 and saw that Ron was still asleep in his bed . Harry summoned his glasses using his wand deciding to be risky.
He got up from the bed and went to go downstairs and saw that Molly had made breakfast . Harry said hello to her and Arthur and sat down at the table and grabbed some eggs and sausage and started to eat . Once he was finished with his food he asked Molly when they were going to go to Diagon Alley and she said after everyone ate and got ready which was probably going to be 11 so he decided to get dressed as he was still in his pajamas. He went upstairs and to the room he was sleeping in and grabbed an emerald green robe that he got because it looked quite nice on him and put it on.
Harry went into the bathroom and started to fix his hair. He first tried to use some hair gel he got over the summer but his hair really was fighting it so he got his holly wand and said ''Capillos Quietiorem Asseveraverit'' and his hair went down noticeably.
He went down the stairs looking quite nice. Harry noticed that everyone was at the table eating and looking ready to leave. Harry said hi to everyone and everyone finished eating Molly said''Okay,everybody go to to fireplace to leave.''
Harry and everyone else walked over to the fireplace . He grabbed some floo powder and said ''The Leaky Cauldron'' and in a green burst of fire landed at the Leaky Cauldron . Harry walked over to Tom and said ''Hey''
Tom replied cheerfully''Hello Mr. Potter ,how has your summer been?''
Harry said''Quite good,Tom as you can see I have changed a little bit.''
''Indeed well, have a good day.''
''To you to,Tom,'' Harry said always happy to see him.
Once everybody came through they walked to the back and tapped the bricks and Diagon Alley opened they walked in and Molly said ''First thing we need to do is go to Gringotts and get our money and Harry has business to do there so when you finish with that go to Flourish and Blotts and wait for us.''
The group walked through Diagon Alley and reached Gringotts . They walked in and Harry told Bill ''Since you are teaching me you might want to come with me so there are no secrets between us.''
''Agreed,so the two of us will see you in a few hours.'' talking to the rest of the group.
The two of them walked over to one of the goblins and told the goblin they had business with Ragnok very politely . The goblin brought them to one of the offices and brought them to the chairs to sit . They waited a few minutes when a goblin with a black suit came and said ''Hello,my name is Ragnok; you must be Harry Potter and you are?''
''Curse Breaker Bill Weasley,and I will be teaching him occlumency'' Bill said respectively.
''And if you are here there is no secrets allowing there to be trust.'' Ragnok concluded.
''Indeed,I am wondering so if you could tell me what this is about today?'' asked Harry.
''Ah,yes the first order of business is your lordships . You are probably confused by what I mean but when everybody in your direct family died you were able to gain it at 14 instead of 17. Some perks of you accepting them is that you gain access to your main vault and the other vaults, and you can join the Wizengamont using the seats you gain however a drawback of it is that you are considered an adult making punishments you receive for committing crimes more severe . So do you wish to accept your lordships and the responsibility's you get with it.''
Harry thought about it. He realized that if he accepted it he would gain many things by becoming a lord. Such as access to the Potter's money and being in the Wizengamont would be beneficial for his plans but he would be considered an adult causing him to have that risk of being forced into a contract by someone. After awhile of thinking about the pros and con he finally came to his answer.
''I will accept them.''
''Okay the first thing we need to do is test what lordships you can have so put a drop of blood in this bowl with this knife that will heal the wound afterwards.''
Harry grabbed the knife that was very sharp and cut his finger and allowed a drop to go in and the wound immediately closed up as if it wasn't there. The bowl turned blue and a paper popped out and Harry caught it with no effort. It said this.

Harry was about to faint just looking at the paper,Bill didn't look much better he did. Harry says ''I know that the Potters gained a lot of money when Fleamont Potter made the Sleekeazy's Hair Potion and the Blacks made money from the several illegal business deals they did but what about the Peverells and how am I related to them?''
''Ignotus Peverell published several books that are still read today and he invented several potions including Felix Felicis and the Regeneration Potion. I believe you are related to the Peverells from Iolanthe Peverell who married Hardwin Potter.''
''The Potters have a very interesting history but first let me get the families' rings.'' and with that Ragnok left the duo.
''So,Bill what do you think about this?''
''I think that this very surprising but you could make some changes with this news.'' after saying this they sat very quietly waiting for him to come back. When he did he had three rings. The first had a P on it with a griffin roaring on it. The second had a B on it with a raven flying around. The final one had a P on it with a thestral walking around on it.
Harry grabbed them slowly then put the three on and there was a flash. Suddenly Harry had knowledge on pureblooded traditions and customs. Ragnok explains ''When a lord puts on his ring for the first time they gain the knowledge necessary to perform their job.''
''The first thing that I need to do is perform two first one is the Eye-Fixer Ritual and then the Effect Finder Ritual.''
With no reply Ragnok brings them out of his office and to a very large room made out of marble. Ragnok calls out two goblins wearing ceremonial robes who he starts whispering to. Then in a rush they start drawing runes all around the room and after thirty minutes of drawing and preparing the ritual they tell Harry to take off his glasses and clothes and to stand in the middle of the room. After he does that the two goblins start chanting a spell and after ten minutes of chanting the runes started to glow. The glow started to go to Harry and surround him. A few moments later the room glows green and his vision goes dark.
