Warning! This chapter will contain flashbacks and lines of dialogue to explain things to save time and get around writers block.
The Saxtons and Honeys were on their way to Gringotts under heavy glamour. The children were now all eight and it was decided that they would have their blood tested to reveal their heritage and any other things that needed to be known about them.
The children had added another to their group, well they had been their all along, Vida and Layla only knew about her. It was their triplet Aria, who was living inside Vida's head. It may sound strange but Harry and Matilda came to accept it.
(Flashback.)
Harry and Matilda had noticed another strange thing about the Saxton sisters, Vida in particular, she would sometimes cock her head to the side as if listening to someone, sometimes she would do something without reason like laugh. The answer finally came one day at the Honey's house.
The children were playing in Matilda's bedroom when Harry noticed something in his sister's mirror. Where Vida should have been was a girl with shoulder-length red hair, brown eyes and the same clothes that Vida was wearing but with the colours inversed, her face also looked exactly like the twins'. the girl looked up at Harry and her eyes widened when she realised he could see her, she then said something that Harry couldn't hear and Vida turned around.
"You see her in the mirror, don't you? The girl with red hair?" Vida asked.
Harry nodded as Matilda took notice of the girl in the mirror as well.
"Who is she, why does she look like your sister?" Harry asked.
Vida sighed. "Swear never to tell anyone, not even Kenny and Martha know about her."
"We swear." the sibling said.
Vida took a stone carved with runes out of her pocket and placed it by the door, Layla doing the same to the window, they worked the same way as silencing and blocking charms.
The children sat on the bed, the mirror with the girl in it not that far away, sitting on the bed in place of Vida in the refection.
"The girl looks like our sister because she is, her name is Aria." Vida explained. "When Layla and I were born we weren't meant to be twins, we were meant to be triplets. When we were born we were conjoined, Layla was only joined slightly at the hip and so was easily separated, but Aria and I were joined in a critical way that slowly killing us, they could separate us but only one of us would live, I was chosen because I had the higher chance of surviving the operation. We don't know how but Aria's soul latched onto mine and mine onto hers, our bonds refusing to lose each other, so Aria's soul joined me in my body. Layla and I can only see her but she can sometimes show up in mirrors in my place. We originally didn't know Aria was our sister nor her knowing us or her real name, so we called her Echo and people thought of her as our imaginary friend. We eventually learned to hide the existence of Aria before people thought us too old for imaginary friends and thought us insane. We eventually learned the truth through old photographs, documents and birth certificates."
The girl in the mirror, Aria, said something that only the Vida and Layla could hear.
"She still likes to be called Echo though." Vida relayed.
"How many secrets do you two, err, three have?" Matilda asked.
The triplets smiled.
"We have many secrets, you will learn of them when we get to them." Vida said ominously.
(End flashback.)
(AN. Since Aria/Echo is meant to be able to speak but just isn't heard, the readers will now be able to read what she says, but only Vida and Layla will react to what she says.)
The triplets were worried because the blood test would reveal Aria, they knew it.
Once at the bank they were led to a room where the goblin performing the ritual, Gratal, would do the ritual.
Harry and Matilda went first. (AN. I'm not going to give a big list for them, you can make it up yourself.)
They learned that Harry was the inheritor of the male founders, Matilda was the inheritor of the female founders, Harry had a magic block on him done by Dumbledore, money was being stolen from their account by Dumbledore and other sources.
"So this guy is blocking my magic and stealing from us?" Harry asked.
The Honeys had learned from the Saxtons that Dumbledore was not the wizard the world thought him to be and that he was manipulative, he was the one to place Harry with the Dursleys in hopes he would be a better pawn. The Honeys vowed never to fall under Dumbledore's influence once they learned how he tried to control Harry's life and how his manipulations led to Harry and Matilda's parents death.
"Can the blocks be removed?" Martha asked. "I believe they are the reason Harry is not on the same level as Matilda."
The Saxtons had questioned why Harry wasn't like his sister even though he showed the potential to be, now they had the reason.
"It can be arranged." Gratal said. "Releasing the block could cause magic backlash though, so it'll have to be done in a secluded room."
"What about the stolen money?" Jenny asked.
"You can stop the transfers and some of the money can be regained, but the money Dumbledore took will require suing him." Gratal explained.
"I would recommend not suing Dumbledore, he has too much influence, and it would also alert him to the fact you know about magic and won't trust him, an advantage we should keep." Kenny advised.
Harry and Matilda spoke between each other before agreeing. "Remove my blocks, stop all unwanted transfers, and regain the money from all but Dumbledore, we'll leave him until we're older and have more influence." Harry said.
Gratal grinned. "Certainly."
The location to the last will and testament of the Potter family was also revealed; revealing Peter Pettigrew as the traitor, not Sirius Black.
The Honeys had been told of Sirius Black's innocence, but when they asked why they were told the reason for them knowing could not be told unless Black allowed it.
"This is excellent, we have proof Black is innocent. We can have a trial arranged and get him out of Azkaban." Kenny exclaimed.
"Uncle Kenny hates false imprisonment." Vida explained to the Honeys.
*Our turn now.* Aria said.
Vida and Layla pricked their thumbs and allowed a drop of blood to fall onto a parchment that would reveal their heritage.
On Layla's it said:
'Name: Layla Kaelee Saxton.

Etc.
On Vida's it said:

Etc.
*Were decedents of Le Fay?* Aria asked. *Cool!*
"Why's Aria on there? She's dead." Kenny said.
"Erm, not quite." Vida said. "She sort of shares my body. But it's not a parasitic relationship!"
"But how?" Kenny asked.
It was Gratal who explained. "What has happen to your nieces is rare, their bonds were so strong that they refused to be parted by even death, so Vida's magic willingly allowed Aria's soul to share her body, though Vida shall always be in control. Since this was done naturally there is no problem in this, it is a sign that they hold great power and unity."
"Can we claim our vaults and weapons, please?" Vida asked uncomfortably.
After the Honeys and Saxtons had finished their business at Gringotts they had returned to their homes. Harry was suffering from having all of his magic returned to him, he already showed signs of being as smart and magically able as Matilda. Kenny and Martha were understanding of the triplets and wished they had been told of Aria's existence sooner, they also started researching what they could do for when Vida and Layla came into their creature inheritance and getting Sirius Black free, while Vida and Layla trained with their new weapons.
