OK guys I planned on making this chapter longer so yes I have made it longer. I am researching better goblin and wizard lore and will write more about it soon. Any help I will be grateful for. Disclaimer I don't own Harry Potter nor its characters its settings and all the other things in it. Also Harry will NOT be forgiving a lot of the people in his book self however in his "real time" self will allow some certain friendships to remain however they will NOT be the best of friends or even that close he will either merely forgive them or will be normal friends with them. Most likely the first one however.
Chapter 3: Gringotts and Vault Check
The whole hall was anxious to read the next chapter. After all it is not everyday the Ice Queen and the Golden Boy make a certain alliance. The hall waited eagerly while Harry talked to Remus. "Remus do you think that it may show that Sirius is innocent in the book?" he asked.
Remus suddenly brightened up like he had not even thought about that. "It might and reading into the entire hall people can force him to admit it." he replied back. Snuffles barked happily back at Harry who laughed and rubbed his head. The whole hall was still confused about the dog and how Harry was close to it.
"I never knew Harry had a dog?" thought some students.
Dumbledore cleared his throat and began to read out the next chapter.
Chapter 2: Gringotts Bank
Harry woke up to Zarina curled up in the corner. He smiled as he got out of bed and went to Hedwig who had returned from delivering the letter to Gringotts. He smiled and pet her while she cooed and ruffled her feathers. "Morning girl please don't fight with Zarina again." he said as he went towards the Great Hall. He entered the Great Hall early and noticed Daphne Greengrass sitting at the Slytherin Table along with a girl with long brown hair and a Italian looking boy with black hair.
Daphne turned to her friends Tracy and Blaise and smiled slightly at them. They smiled back at her.
Harry grabbed some food and was about to leave when a large regal looking owl flew down in front of him. Most of the small amount of people in the hall barley glanced at it while others seemed curios. The owl handed him a letter and he opened it up. He decided to read its contents in private or more private with his new Slytherin ally.
Daphne and Harry both blushed while Daphne glared at Harry across the table. Her parents chuckled and her sister smirked at her. Draco Malfoy didn't like this…not one bit.
As he walked back to the chamber deciding to learn more in the chamber he recalled what Sarota said once before in his third year.
*Flashback*
Harry walked along to Sarota and soon found the giant snake eating a dead cow.
The hall shivered.
"Sarota can you tell me about magic a bit seeing as your over a thousand years old?" Harry asked.
Sarota raised his head from his meal and turned to Harry. "Harry my master collected many artifacts and knowledge in his library knowledge that would allow you not even have to attend class for you could learn it on your own…or if….no..no..no forget the if young Harry you are a powerful wizard but your afraid….you need to learn to not be afraid of being yourself…or you can stay miserable for ever."
* Flashback ends*
The whole hall looked at Harry in small different emotions. The Gryffindors in guilt or anger, the Hufflepuffs in sympathy or anger and disgust, the Ravenclaws with looks of curiosity and small amounts of sympathy and finally the Slytherins looking at him with curios calculating stares.
Harry buried his face in his hands. Dumbledore taking pity on the poor boy decided it best to continue reading the book.
Harry entered his chamber and began to look at certain studies. He practiced his aim with his wand and his power behind his spells. He shot at certain training dummies that the chamber had in Salazar's armory.
"The chamber has a armory?" asked Dumbledore.
Harry nodded his head. "The chamber has a lot of stuff in it Professor its got Sarota's room, the armory, the library, the personal room and then there the main hall and then finally the potion room."
The moment Harry said potion room unable to stop himself Snape was internally jumping at the chance to get inside.
The whole hall was buzzing with wonder and awe at what stuff could be inside the famous Chamber of Secrets but knew that the only way in was Harry and with the way they treated him they didn't expect a welcome inside any soon…especially if he told the basilisk about them.
Harry shot a stunner spell at one dummy and then a blasting curse at the next. He was a whirlwind of spells flying and hitting there targets. After a while he stopped and continued to read more and more about magic from the books that Salazar Slytherin himself had collected. While he was reading about certain potions in his bed chambers he soon checked the time. It was about the time for lunch. Harry soon left and walked back to the Great Hall.
Along the way Ron purposely bumped Harry's shoulder making his book fall out onto the floor.
Dean and Seamus laughed at Harry as Hermione who was with them frowned but said nothing.
Harry sat down and began to pick up his books when Ron decided it be funny to throw one of the books farther away. Harry who had tried not to get angry just felt more pain and sadness but decided not to do anything.
Ron was being glared at by Fred, George, Bill and Charlie along with several Gryffindors including Hermione who was shocked Ron was being so cruel. Ron was being glared at by most of the Hall but that was nothing compared to the growling he heard from Snuffles.
"GRRRRR" Snuffles growled. Ron flinched as his dad looked at him with disappointment while his mom was more indifferent.
Harry however sighed at reading that part.
Harry walked over and picked up his book and went into the Great Hall. When he had gotten his food and was beginning to leave when he remembered about Daphne. He quickly ate his food in a abandoned class room and then waited outside the doors for her.
When Daphne walked out with the same girl and boy he had seen this morning who he assumed were Tracy Davis and Blaise Zabini he got her attention.
She turned to her friends and said a few words then walked over to him. Try as he might he couldn't ignore the elegance and self confidence as she walked….something he himself wish he could do but knew that would never happen.
Daphne smiled slightly but frowned at the same time.
Harry had his face down with a look of doubt while Snuffles nuzzled him and Remus tried to talk to him.
She noticed Hermione looking at Harry in deep sadness and it didn't take a genius to figure out she felt bad but didn't want to risk the same treatment…unlike Neville who was being more of a friend than her. She hoped her future self would help Harry to achieve that…but she didn't understand why.
"Potter." she said coldly.
"Greengrass." he replied.
"I take it Gringotts replied back?" she asked.
Harry nodded and took out the note. "Decided it best to read it with you for you would understand more about its contents than I would." he replied with a small blush.
Try as she might Daphne couldn't hold back a smirk. "I see…didn't think you were smart enough to figure it out Potter?" she asked smirking. Harry scowled and they walked into the abandoned room.
Daphne snickered and her parents smirked at her while Potter blushed as the hall laughed at what Daphne said.
They got into the room and Harry took the letter out. "Well open it up and read what it says." Daphne said. Harry nodded and ripped it open. He then read the letter out loud.
"Dear Mr. Potter.
We At Gringotts are delighted to finally hear from you. We have been trying to contact you for quite some time. Due to the fact that you have not replied to are letters it is wise to come immediately to Gringotts as fast as possible and we can figure out this mess. Go to Gringotts and we will sort this out. May your gold always flows and may your enemies heads lay at your feet.
From - Gringotts Bank.
Harry looked up at Daphne. She was frowning.
"Why do you not reply to Gringotts mail its not wise to ignore it." she said.
"But I never got any mail from Gringotts at least Hedwig never brought me any." he said. Some how that made Daphne even more confused and she also looked a little angry.
"Thats not right the Potter's are said to be very rich so the fact that you are not getting mail is wrong you should be getting a lot of account checks and business letters as the Heir." she said.
Harry felt anger build up. Someone or something is making sure he didn't get all his rightful mail and from what he read before that was illegal.
"Your right Mr. Potter it is illegal and we will find out who is doing it." said Madam Bones.
Harry smiled at her and many students in the hall wondered who would do something like that. Even Daphne and her parents were angry for interfering with a Ancient and Noble House was a big deal. Meanwhile Dumbledore squirmed nervously in his seat. "Oh no he is going to find out!" he thought franticly.
"Harry I suggest you go to Gringotts tomorrow after all tomorrow is Saturday you can easily get Professor McGonagalls permission to go." Daphne said to him.
Harry nodded his head and put the note in his pocket. A lot of this seemed to just bring more questions. "Who is stopping him from getting Gringotts mail?", "Is whoever doing this stopping him from getting other mail?", "Finally is whoever doing this taking the mail for himself or not?" were the questions Harry thought about.
"All good questions Mr. Potter all very good questions." said Professor Flitwick.
Madam Bones was also writing down on a note book all of these questions.
"Greengrass I think we need to discuss other things as well such as my tournament problems." Harry said.
Daphne nodded her head. "Alright Potter lay it on me. What do you think the First Task is?" asked Daphne.
Harry smirked and replied. "The First Task is dragons Hagird showed me them in the Forbidden Forest."
Daphne frowned. "Potter why did Hagrid show you them its against the rules and Hagrid always listens to Dumbledores rules." she said.
Now that Harry thought about it yea why did Hagrid show him it?
The hall all thought the same thing including Hagrid himself. "Why did I show Harry?" he thought to himself.
"I don't know…we can look into that later but yes the First Task is dragons. We have to steal something from them because I highly doubt they want us to fight the dragon." Harry said.
Daphne nodded her head. She got this calculating look in her eyes that reminded Harry a bit of Hermione.
Hermione and Daphne both blushed at this and the hall chuckled.
"Yes dragons are resistant to basically all magic so no I don't think fighting them is the task." she said.
"I think we may need to take something from there nest…like a egg." Harry said.
Daphne nodded. "That seems most logical the dragon would guard the nest and such would prove difficult." she said.
"If that is the task I have already come up with Plan A." Harry told her.
Daphne looked at him with a raised eyebrow "What is it?" she asked.
"I am a Parselmouth and a friend of mine told me that technically dragons are serpents too so I could try to talk to the dragon into giving me what ever it is." Harry said.
Daphne's eyes widened as if she never thought of that.
"I probably didn't think about that." Daphne said to her parents.
"Thats..actually a decent plan Potter." she said surprised.
Harry smirked at her. "Well I am not completely stupid." he said.
Daphne rolled her eyes and replied back. "No just 99% of the time."
The hall laughed and Harry scowled as Daphne blushed at how open she was being. "Why?" she wondered.
Harry scowled and then said "I have a Plan A I think I got a idea for a Plan B and C but I think you need to tell me what you think of them." he said. Daphne nodded.
"Alright if Plan A fails I think Plan B should me transforming something into a dog since dragons have a large hate of dogs and use it as a diversion." he said.
Daphne looked at him in shock. "Potter if you keep making good idea's like this I may have to threaten you to see if your the real Harry Potter." she said.
Harry decided that was a complement.
"Daphne making complements and joking? What kind of twisted future is this?" Tracy said jokingly. Daphne scowled at her but she too wondered why she was being to open to Potter.
"Plan C is me summoning my Firebolt and trying to grab the egg as fast as possible." he said.
Daphne sighed. "And here I thought I was going to be able to threaten you. Potter that idea is to Gryffindor for me but not only that its suicide. It may taunt the dragon into chasing you itself." she said.
While the Gryffindors glared at Daphne *Except Hermione who was agreeing with her* the Slytherins snickered while Daphne smirked.
"Thats why its Plan C." Harry said. Even tho he should take offense to the Gryffindor comment he didn't for he was not a Gryffindor anymore…his former Housemates saw to that.
Once again the whole school squirmed with guilt.
"Alright so thats all the plans I have." he said.
Daphne turned to him. "I like all but the last one and hopefully you won't have to use it. Your no use to me dead Potter." she said.
Harry didn't like the "use" part but he decided to let it slide do to her being in Slytherin. "Alright so I will ask McGonagall later today about tomorrow. Also would you like to accompany me to Gringotts seeing as I am inexperienced with the customs and traditions." he asked her.
Daphne's eyes slightly widened for just a second before nodding her head. "Alright Potter I will accompany you just get permission from McGonagall." she said.
As she walked out Harry felt like he was a bit happier somehow after talking to her. "Probably due to the fact not once did she call me a "cheat", "liar", "git", or any other nasty words." he thought as he walked away.
Harry blushed a this as Remus smirked at him and Snuffle's gave him a look saying. "I know what you mean."
Daphne however smiled a bit and felt her heart beat a bit faster at those words. "Whats wrong with me lately?" she wondered.
Harry walked back to the chamber and when he entered he was met with a peculiar sight. A flying Zarina.
"Huh?" asked the hall.
"I thought snakes couldn't fly?" asked a Hufflepuff.
The hall wondered what was going on so Dumbledore decided to continue to read.
Harry could see Zarina squirming in the air hooked in Hedwig's claws in a playful way while he heard her hissing out "I am a flying sssssnake bitchesssss get on my level!"
The whole hall was laughing really hard.
"Th…HAHA…That…HAHAHA…snake…HAHAHA..has got to be..HAHA…the best..HAHAHAH..thing….HAHAHA…ever…HAHAHA!" laughed out Remus.
Harry was smiling before he could help himself he let out a actual real life laugh.
The hall stopped laughing a bit to look at the laughing Harry. He looked so..happy..carefree…cute in a adorable kid way.
Harry soon noticed the hall looking at him. "What?" he asked.
"You have a very nice laugh Harry." said Ravenclaw Cho Chang.
Remus smiled and many girls and some boys agreed.
Harry blushed from all the praise and unknown to them all when one Daphne Greengrass heard that laugh her heart melted for a split second.
Harry laughed out loud and this startled Hedwig and she dropped Zarina onto the ground.
"Ouch! Ssssstupid bird!" Zarina hissed at Hedwig.
Harry chuckled and walked over and sat down on the couch. Zarina slithered over and curled beside him.
"Masssster how wassss your talk with the Greengrasssss girl?" she asked Harry.
Harry smiled as he read the Transfiguration book in his hands. Try as he might Harry found himself thinking about the blonde haired Slytherin more than he thought was necessary.
Once again Harry blushed while Daphne smiled a little again.
"It went well Zarina I must admit she is a smart girl much like my former friend Hermione and I can't help but admit that the way she walks with elegance and self confidence gets me a bit jealous and sad. For I too wish to walk like that." he said to Zarina.
Daphne and the hall frowned. Harry had such low self confidence in himself that it was hard to not feel sad for him.
"Itssss ok Massster you can learn how to walk like that sssssome day." Zarina hissed back before curling Harry's left leg into what Harry called "a snake hug" and fell asleep. Harry sighed as he continued to read.
The hall chuckled a bit at the "snake hug" but didn't feel like it was a good time to laugh out completely.
A couple of hours later Harry was walking back with his food in his hand when Ron purposely put his foot out. Harry tripped and fell his food flying all over him and certain others.
"Look what you did you stupid cheating git." he said. Harry got up and tried to get himself cleaned up when several students he got messy a couple of 3rd years and 4th years started throwing insults at him. He sighed and walked away. It was like his friendship with Ron never even happened like it was all a dream.
Hermione looked at Ron in shame.
Harry did nothing as he just walked away deciding not to eat at all. He soon went back to the chamber and fell asleep once again.
The next morning Harry was up and ready really early. Like if you told Ron how early he woke up he'd probably die from a heart attack.
The hall chuckled at the joke but didn't feel like full on laughing.
Harry raced to Professor McGonagall's office. He knocked on the door and soon she opened up.
"Mr. Potter? What in Merlins name are you doing up so early?" she asked him.
"Good morning Professor I just wanted to ask if me and a friend of mine could visit Gringotts today. I got a letter from them to go see them as quickly as possible and I hoped that you would allow me to go." he said.
McGonagall looked conflicted. On one hand she knew that Gringotts was serious in there business on the other she had orders from Dumbledore to make sure Harry remained safe and she didn't know his friends name. "Mr. Potter who is the friend?" she asked.
Harry knew he had to think up a lie because there was no way Mcgonagall would allow him to go with Daphne purely because she is a Slytherin.
Daphne and the other Slytherin's scowled at the teacher who looked down at her obvious favoritism.
"Neville is Professor." he replied.
Harry thanked his cleaver choice. Unlike basically the rest of the school Neville was his only true friend right now. He knew however he would have to talk to Neville about the cover story.
McGonagall sighed and replied back. "Very well Mr. Potter I will right you a pass for Diagon Alley and hopefully you should not take too long." She wrote down a pass and he thanked her and ran off.
Harry raced down the hall's which had basically no Hufflepuff's and Gryffindor's and only a few Ravenclaws and Slytherins. He entered the Great Hall and quickly got some food. As he was walking out he checked to see if Daphne was there. Harry saw her once again sitting with Tracy Davis and Blaise Zabini. He waited for Daphne to finish up and soon he and her walked into the abandoned class room.
"Why is it you always go to a abandoned classroom?" asked a random Gryffindor.
Harry decided not to answer because he didn't know either.
"Potter I see you got the Portkey and the slips shall we be off then?" she said.
Harry nodded and both touched the Portkey and soon they were both at Diagon Alley of course however Harry landed on his butt.
"Damn bloody Portkey's hate me." he said as he stood up.
The hall chuckled a bit at that.
Daphne smirked and the both headed towards Gringotts. When the arrived Harry walked up the goblin.
"I wish to see my bank manager." he said.
"Name?" the goblin replied.
"Harry James Potter." he said.
The goblin looked up at Harry instantly. He peered at him. "Where is your key?" he asked.
Harry frowned. He had forgotten all about his key. "I am sorry sir but my key is not with me." he said.
"What why don't you have your key?" asked Remus.
The whole hall wondered that too except for four people. Molly Weasly, Ron Weasly, Ginny Weasly and Albus Dumbledore.
"May we do a blood test to prove to you sir?" Daphne asked politely even tho she looked at Harry with a look that said "Where is your key?"
"Indeed you may follow me." the goblin sneered. They followed the goblin down to a chamber with a knife and a certain round cauldron thing. "Take the knife and draw some blood and put it into the cauldron if your truly Harry James Potter than it shall say so." the goblin said.
"And if I wasn't?" Harry asked.
"Then lets just say that we goblins have a…certain way for liars and thieves." the goblin said with a wicked grin.
The hall shivered at the thought of that.
Harry gulped and took the knife. He cut his finger a bit and let the blood fall into the cauldron. Suddenly a piece of paper shot out of the cauldron and the goblin took it and read it out loud.
"Harry James Potter"
Son of James Charles Potter = Deceased and Lily Potter nee Evans = Deceased
Born: July 31st 1980.
Harry, Remus and Snuffles looked down and the hall waited for a moment in silence.
After reading that the goblin nodded to Harry. "You are who you say you are please follow me." he said. Harry and Daphne followed the goblin deeper into the building passing by certain offices and other places. Soon they came to a room. "Enter inside your manager is waiting for you." he said.
"Thank you sir." Harry said.
The goblin looked shocked at the politeness that Harry showed him and the goblin walked away with a small smile on his face.
The adults looked at Harry with approving stares well except for Molly and Dumbeldore who looked like there worst fears were about to come true. "I am so busted." thought Dumbledore. Unknown to Dumbledore the book was charmed so whoever was reading it had no choice but to read what it said.
Harry and Daphne walked in. The room was a small cozy room with some gold statues or silver painting frames with several goblin made armor and weapons lining the walls like artifacts. A strong stern looking goblin in a suit turned to them and gave them a cruel smile.
"Mr. Potter at last you have finally decided to arrive. I am Sharptooth your account manager." said Sharptooth.
Harry sat down next to Daphne in front of the goblin's desk. "Thank you Mr. Sharptooth and please call me Harry." he said.
Sharptooth looked a bit surprised at Harry's politeness but not as much as the other one. "Ah just like your father and grandfather never let me call them anything but James and Charles." the old goblin chuckled.
Harry looked a bit more happy hearing more about his grandparents and parents.
Once again the hall gave small smiles. Many of the students were feeling very bad now about how they treated Harry before.
Sharptooth then got down to business. "Now Harry we here at Gringotts have been sending you many letters concerning your account's and business finances but you have never respond to any save for the one we sent not to long ago why is that?" he asked.
Harry frowned again. "Sir I have never received any Gringotts mail not once and certainly not for the last 13 years." he said.
Sharptooth looked upset. "I see that means someone has been interrupting your mail which is illegal in your laws but to mess with Gringotts mail is a whole different matter." he said.
Dumbledore, Molly, Ron and Ginny all looked very very pale as Dumbeldore was forced to keep reading.
Daphne decided to speak up. "Sir is it possible to do a Vault check as well as a heir check seeing as how Harry never knew about him being a Heir or even rich for that matter."
If Sharptooth was upset before now he was mad. "Certainly we can also read your parents will if you would like." said Sharptooth.
"My parents have a will!?" Harry said suprsied.
The whole hall gasped but not as much as Remus. He turned towards Harry. "You never knew your parents had a will!?" he said shocked.
Harry didn't trust his voice but nodded his head.
Cyrus, Isabel, Amelia and certain purebloods and half-bloods looked livid. Will's were very important especially if a Ancient and Noble House is concerned.
Sharptooth looked shocked. "Are you saying you never heard your parents will!" he said.
Harry shook his head.
Daphne looked furious her face was red and she grunted out. "Can you bring us to the will and heir chamber?" she said obviously trying to not blow up.
Tracy and certain others understood why she was showing much emotion. Learning that someone from a Ancient and Noble House didn't know about his own parents will was very bad.
Sharptooth nodded and lead them down another hall. Inside was another stone circular bowl which had a knife as well. Along with that Harry saw a goblin he recognized bring Sharptooth a piece of paper.
"Hello Griphook nice to see you again." he said.
Griphook fell over in shock and stared at Harry. "Y..y..you rememberer me?" he asked in shock.
Harry frowned. "Of course your the very first goblin I ever met and you took me to my trust vault how could I not forget you?" he asked.
Griphook smiled a actually decent smile and walked away after handing the paper to Sharptooth.
Once again the hall was blown away by Harry's ability to befriend almost anyone or anything. First a snake, then a basilisk, now goblins too?
"I will now read the will before we do the heir check as well as the vault check." Sharptooth said.
"This is the last will of James Charles Potter and Lily Potter nee Evans."
"Hello Harry its your parents here if your reading this then Peter Pettigrew betrayed us to Voldemort and we are dead. We are sorry we are not there for you to grow up but we hope you become a wonderful young man and learn to be well advanced at magic.
"Oh and to do lots of pranks and meet lots of girls OW LILY!"
"Ignore your father I hope you find a nice young woman and fall in love. Under NO circumstances are you to go to my sister and her family NOT ONCE! You are to go too your sworn godfather Sirius Black or godmother Alice Longbottom.
If those two are sadly unable to take care of you, your to go too either Amelia Bones, Cyrus and Isabel Greengrass, and Remus Lupin.
Harry as much as we think Dumbledore is a good man at heart please don't trust him fully he is very crafty. Also please try to not get to involved with the stupid blood feud its ridiculous.
Harry we want you to know that we love you and that your are the best thing that ever happened to us.
Further more please allow your father some words to give to a certain person.
"Right thanks Lily. Hey Prongselt its your dad Prongs here I want you to give one Severus Snape these words they will be in a note in the will. I am sorry about school Severus I was a young arrogant and stuck up child. I shouldn't have been so harsh to you even if was only pranks. I know that you had a friendship with Lily and I am sorry if I did anything to destroy that. I hope you get over your grudge over me and look after my son should he need any help. Please Severus he is my pride and joy I beg you don't hurt him."
"Harry before this ends we want to tell you we love you with all are hearts and we will see you on the next great adventure."
The hall was crying a bit but that was nothing compared to Harry. He was full out crying very hard. He had his head in Remus shoulder and with even thinking Snuffles suddenly transformed into Sirius Black.
The hall gasped but Sirius didn't allow that to stop him. He embraced both Harry and Remus who were both crying.
Everyone had several reactions to the will.
Cyrus and Isabel were angry that Harry was not given to them since Sirius was in Azkaban and Alice and Frank were attacked. They were also very angry at learning certain things during the will.
Daphne and Astoria were shocked and sad to learn that The Boy-Who-Lived was supposed to be living with them or others and were sad about reading the will but surprised that there parents were mentioned.
Amelia and Susan were both angry and sad. Amelia because she never knew and Susan because she could have grown up with someone as a sibling of some kind.
Remus was livid about not being able to get to Harry and was growling in his wolf side.
Dumbledore felt bad for not telling Harry but was also sad that his parents didn't fully trust him. That truly did hurt him.
Severus Snape however was silent and white as a ghost. James Potter his life long enemy had tried to apologize even going as far as to begging for forgiveness. Severus felt like a child. He had let a grudge rule over his emotions about a boy. Lily's boy. He felt sick. So sick that he looked paler than usual. He felt his whole world crash down and he couldn't stop it. He let a single tear fall out of his eye.
The whole hall was silent except for some sniffing and crying.
However after moment Fudge got up and yelled out. "ARREST THAT MAN!"
Sirius turned to Fudge in a look that made the whole hall flinch. "HOW DARE YOU! DID YOU NOT JUST READ THAT PETTER PETTIGREW WAS THE SECET KEEPER AND THE ONE WHO BETRAYED THE POTTERS!" he roared at Fudge.
The hall backed up Sirius surprising many of the adults.
"Yea it said "sworn" godfather that means he CANT hurt Harry or the Potters." said a Ravenclaw.
Fudge sighed looking defeated while Lucius glared and Umbridge frowned. Cyrus and Isabel smiled and Harry hugged his godfather tightly and Sirius hugged him back. They were soon joined by Remus.
After that incident the hall calmed down and tried to get used to seeing one Sirius Black sitting by Harry and Mr. Lupin.
Harry was crying by the time he finished and grabbed the small note his father made for Professor Snape.
As he cried Daphne in a rare act of affection put her hand on his arm and squeezed it.
No one had it in them to make fun of Daphne at that moment.
"Sharptooth can I take the test now." Harry said as he stopped crying and started to feel anger.
Sharptooth nodded and Harry took the knife and cut his finger letting the blood drop into the bowl.
After a few minutes as piece of paper shot out. Sharptooth read it out loud.

The whole hall was silent. your could hear a pin drop. Finally after a couple minutes of silence Harry said "I have a lot of money."
That set the hall off.
"HIS IS RICHER THAN ALL THE HOUSES COMBINED!"
"HE CAN OUT BUY ALL THE HOUSES!"
"I WANT TO MARRY HIM!"
"I CANT BELIVE HE IS THE HEIR OF THE FOUNDERS!"
"WHAT THE HELL IS HOUSE PEVERELL!"
"HOW DID HE CONQUEST THE GAUNT LINE?"
"WHO ARE THE GAUNTS?"
"WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!"
"WHAT HAVE WE DONE!"
"HE IS THE RULER OF HOGWARTS!"
"WERE FUCKING DEAD, DEAD, DEAD!"
Dumbledore, Amelia, Sirius, Remus and Harry all fired bangs from there wands.
"EVERYONE PLEASE CALM DOWN I AM SURE ALL WILL BE EXPLAINED IN THE BOOK PLEASE BE SEATED!" ordered Dumbledore.
Harry had to blink multiple times as his brain had apparently shut down on itself. He had ALOT of money and was the heir to ALOT of famous people. He didn't know two of the Houses in the list however. Thats not what got Harry mad oh no it was the blocks on his magical abilities that made him mad.
"Sharptooth what do magical blocks do?" he asked.
Sharptooth looked shocked. "Magical's blocks can either reduce the persons ability to use and learn a certain subject or completely make them powerless they have been banned by basically every kind of government why do you ask?" he said.
"Because I have a lot of blocks placed on me by one A.P.W.B.D who is said to be my magical guardian." Harry replied.
Sharptooth growled. "Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. Of course it would be him. Now that I have read the will he should never have been your magical guardian in the first place!"
Everyone in the hall looked at Dumbledore in shock.
"Pr..Pro..Professor…is..is…is it true?" Harry asked in a heartbroken tone.
Dumbledore sighed and he turned to Harry. "I am sorry Harry but it had to be done its all for The Greater Good." he said.
Harry felt like crying but didn't.
Before anyone could yell however Dumbledore had read ahead and decided he needed to get some tension off him so he quickly read on.
Harry then asked another question. "Sharptooth who are the Gaunts and Peverell's?"
Sharptooth looked at Harry. "I know more about the Peverell's than the Gaunts but all I know is that the Peverell's were a ancient line of inventors and businessmen and had have been rumored to have made 3 extremely powerful artifacts that some claim to be from a children's book. The Gaunts are a near extinct line that were once directly descended to Salazar Slytherin but the line has all but died out. Strange how you have claimed that in conquest for only by killing or damaging someone beyond repair could allow that." he said.
Then Harry looked at his latest account withdrawals and magical business contracts and magical contracts he was absolutely shocked.
"Withdrawls: 10,000,000 Galleons to Weasly Vault every year since 1980
900,000 Galleons to Molly Weasly every year since 1980
50,000 Galleons to Ronald Weasly every year since 1991
10,000 Galleons to Ginevra Weasly every year since 1992
Magical Contracts: Marriage Contract between Harry James Potter and Ginevra Molly Weasly *Not legal*
Businesses: Potters = 75% of Daily Prophet etc etc.
Owned Proprieties: Potter Manor
Potter Cottage = Made Historical Sight by Ministry waiting for Heir's decision to either rebuild or leave it as it is.
Country Home
Beach House and many others.
Harry was beyond shocked and decided to ask Sharptooth. "Sharptooth I never allowed Molly, Ronald, Ginevra access to my Vaults and I certainly never wanted a marriage contact made for me and Ginny can you explain.
When Sharptooth read that the look on his face was beyond mad. It was complete utter rage. "Albus Dumbledore gave Molly Weasly your key to use at her own use. She made her own Vault using her maiden name Prewett and has been practically stealing from your vaults for years and too top it off a illegal marriage contract!"
The whole hall gasped and turned to the Weasly's. Molly was pale as could be. Ron and Ginny were looking pale as hell and the rest of the family looked like they were kicked.
"M..M…Molly tell me…tell me its not true…please tell me its not true." cried Arthur.
"Arthur it was for are children we couldn't afford them to go to Hogwarts so its all right and besides Ginny looks like Lily its her destiny to be with Harry I did this for are future!" she started to freak out.
"YOUR A DISGRACE TO THE WEALSY NAME!" roared Percy and Bill.
Fred and George turned to Ginny and Ron.
"Were you"
"Two in."
"On this?"
"Of course this was all about me I pretended to be Harry's friend for the money and fame but noooo he had to drag me on dangerous stupid quests!" yelled a pissed of Ron.
"ITS MY DESTINY TO MARRY HIM! ITS MY DESTINY!" cried Ginny.
"YOUR ALL PATHETIC STEALING FROM A ORPHAN THINKING NOTHING FOR YOURSELVES!" roared Bill and Percy and Charlie joined in.
"You claim it for are family but you opened a new entire vault in your maiden name for yourself? That proves this was all for mainly you." said Arthur.
The Weasly's besides Molly, Ginny and Ron all moved to the other side but first all came to Harry.
"Harry we are so so so sorry we didn't know." said Arthur.
Harry said nothing feeling broken and beaten. It was all a lie.
Arthur knowing Harry wouldn't respond left with his sons and sat away from the rest of his family needing time to think.
Dumbledore decided to continue reading.
"This..this..THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS WE AT GRINGOTTS WILL NOT BE INSULTED LIKE THIS!" Sharptooth roared out. He hit a button and suddenly 2 armed goblin soldiers burst into the room. "Get Director Ragnok in here NOW!" he growled out. The two goblins ran out the door.
"I take it is very bad isn't it?" Harry asked. Surprisingly he remained calm but in his eyes you could see the tears being held a bay.
"Yes Director Ragnok will be able to get the money back in no time however the Weasly's will most likely go into debt seeing as how they already have so little." Sharptooth replied.
Now that Harry thought about it he had a completely Slytherin idea.
"Sharptooth if one was to be forced into a Tournament meant for adults could he himself become a adult?" Harry asked.
Sharptooth nodded. "Yes it is possible if you wish to speak more lets wait to see Ragnok first." he replied.
Daphne suddenly looked up and suddenly she grinned at the idea. "Well well well Potter I must say thats a Slytherin move I must say so myself." she said.
Harry grinned back but his heart was not as in it. It still hurt from learning about the betrayal.
The two armed goblins came back. "Sir Director Ragnok says to come to him immediately." one said.
Sharptooth nodded and motioned for them to follow.
"Please be on your best behavior Potter the Director of Gringotts is not as forgiving for arrogance as the others of his kind." was all Daphne said as a warning as they walked down to the Directors office.
"Thats the end of the chapter." said Dumbledore.
The whole hall was glaring at either him or the Weasly's and frankly they deserved it. Harry just continued to lay in between Sirius and Remus and Daphne felt her heart go out to him.
Hermione who couldn't bear the thought of the betrayal immediately left Ron's side and walked over to the other side of the Gryffindor table much to the shock and anger of Ron.
Ginny couldn't stop looking at Harry in a lustful way and Molly Weasly was crying. Albus decided he didn't want to read anymore for now so he passed the book to Professor McGonagall who looked at him with sadness and anger.
All one Harry Potter could think about was the happy thought that at least he had Sirius and Remus along with Daphne which surprised him but frankly after reading what was read didn't seem so surprising any more.
OMG that was by far the longest chapter I have ever written! I hope you all enjoyed the main part of the Gringotts bank chapter. I think I did pretty well with making his bank manager and the ways they tell certain things but oh well my story my rules. Also the reason Hufflepuff's vault and the Peverell vault are not as big as the others is because 1: Hufflepuff was all about loyalty so I imagine that most of the former heir's gave a lot of money to charity's or to help build hospitals and shops and stuff. for the Peverells its because I think that since they were most likely inventors I think that they focused more on there inventions than there money. So yes in the next chapter Harry will go full out Slytherin on the Weasly's and get his magic unblocked. You know what that means. *Grins evilly* any who hope you all enjoyed this chapter! :)
