Chapter 4

"Ok so we know that someone has managed to hex not only you but also Hedwig. The only question is who was it that hexed you and why. More importantly what are the hexes on you and how do we remove it?" Hermione said as she and Harry walked around.

"Dobby did say something; he said that the goblins may be able to help me there. I don't know how but he said that they would be able to" Harry replied stopping suddenly

"Then what are we waiting for?" Hermione said getting her bearings to find her way to Diagon alley.

Half an hour later, the two friends found themselves on the ever busy alley. They did not waste any time in heading towards Gringotts. Upon arrival Harry found a free goblin

"Hello my name is Harry Potter, I need to speak to someone about hexes and compulsions which have been placed on me" Harry said

The goblin directed Harry and Hermione into a private room. A very familiar goblin entered.

"Hell again Griphook"

The goblin was shocked

"You know who I am?"He asked

"Of course you showed me to my vault for the first time, why wouldn't I remember you?" Harry asked

"Forgive my shock Mr. Potter it is a rare occasion in which the Goblin community is treated with respect. Now what can I do for you?"

Harry explained his situation to the goblin.

"Mr. Potter there is several issues which need to be addressed. For one why were you not always in possession of your vault key. Two why did you not attend the will reading of Sirius Black"

Harry was feeling a mixture of confusion, sadness and anger. Why hadn't he been informed about the will reading?

"What will read?" Harry managed to ask

"The will reading which occurred last week, Sirius Orion Black named you as one of his main benefactors we sent multiple letters informing you of the will reading"

Harry was visibly shaking with rage. Seeing this Hermione intervened for him

"Harry's owl Hedwig had been hexed to not bring him any of his mail and to send it somewhere else so Harry never received any of his mail over the last few months"

Griphook looked mortified

"Well in that case I believe that I can help you with this problem as Miss Granger you were also invited to the will reading and you never attended also. It is likely that whatever compulsions were placed on Mr. Potter may have been placed on you"

Now it was Hermione's turn to be angry

"WHAT!" she yelled. Harry jumped up and engulfed her in a hug to calm her down after getting her composure back she sat down

"Would it be possible to deal with the will reading and then find out what hexes have been placed on Harry... I would like to get myself tested as well if that is not too much trouble sir"

Griphook smiled "It is no trouble at all Miss Granger Gringotts will be happy to help"

They both thanked him. With a click of his fingers Sirius' Will appeared in his hand

"Would you like me to read the entire will or just the parts which are of a benefit to yourselves?"

"All of it please" They both said in unison

Opening the will he began to read

I Sirius Orion Black being of sound mind do solemnly declare that I am still up to no good but that this is my last will and testament

I hated being formal, hey guys Padfoot here! Now I know you all didn't turn up to listen to some dead guy berate himself senseless so let's get on with the good stuff!

First I leave the sum of 2 million galleons to my oldest friend Remus Lupin. In the hopes that he finally accepts that he should spend some money on himself. Take care of Harry old friend oh and by the way you have my blessing for you know what

I leave the sum of 500,000 galleons to my dear little cousin Nymphadora Tonks. I'm dead now so I can call you that all the time! Haha! I also ask that you take care of those that are most important to you and to look after a certain furry friend of mine

To Miss Hermione Granger, you saved my life when you hardly knew me. I have never known someone who is so dedicated and faithful to Harry. For these reasons I leave you the sum of one million galleons to be held in the account of Mr Harry Potter until such time that you create your own personal account at Gringotts.

To Rebeus Hagrid I leave you a sum of 50,000 galleons in the hope that you do me 2 favours. One you do not change a single fibre of your being as you are the most kind hearted half giant that I have ever had the honour of knowing and secondly you look out for Harry and be there for him when forces try to work against him

To Ron Weasley, I was planning on giving you 30,000 galleons but I found out the truth about you and what you had planned. As such I hereby nullify all claims to my fortune to one Ronald Billius Weasley, Ginerva Molly Weasley and Molly Prewitt Weasley. I only hope that Harry finds out the truth for who you really are and soon

To Fred and George Weasley I owe you two so much for what you have done. You kept the marauder spirit alive and so in excess to the 100,000 galleons which I am giving you I give to you my entire collection of marauder notes and devices. You are good men and I thank you for your loyalty.

Finally to Harry James Potter; Firstly I am so sorry. I am not there to help you become the man that I know you can be. I know that money does not help and will not make things better but all I can do is hope that it does. Harry I leave you everything else. This includes Grimmauld Place, the library although I think a certain friend of yours may wish to utilise this. I leave you the remainder of my money which totals; 2,340,001 Galleons. I do also hereby as your magical guardian emancipate you thus removing the trace from you.

Harry I know that there is a dark time ahead of you but remember that your true friends are the ones who stick by you no matter what. Don't mourn my death Harry. Celebrate my life and celebrate knowing that I know you will win.

Above all else remember. "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good"

Signed

Sirius Orion Black

Harry had tears in his eyes as did Hermione. Griphook placed the will in front of him and waited.

"Excuse me Griphook but what are you waiting for? I thought that as soon as a will reading was over the will was sent back to the records in which it is kept?" Hermione asked

"You are correct Miss Granger however per Mr. Black's request the will was to be placed in front of the two of you when no one else was around. He said that you would know what to do, almost like reading a map"

Harry looked confused "A map what's he talking about?"

Hermione's mind was in full swing. A map, Finding out the truth, Loyalty, I Solemnly Swear... THAT'S IT!

"Harry this isn't all there is to Sirius' will!" She pointed her wand at the will

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good"
