Chapter 9

Harry awoke to the sounds a whispering. His eye sight may be terrible but his hearing was superb.

"Be quiet don't wake him" Lupin whispered

"I am quiet Remus it's you that is being loud" Tonks whispered back.

Hermione walked into the room and looked at Harry who still had his eyes closed.

"It's irrelevant anyway Harry is awake and I'd wager he has been for some time now" Hermione said smiling as his still form

"It worries me that you know that Hermione" Harry said opening his eyes

"Happy Birthday Harry!" They all shouted.

Truth be told Harry had completely forgotten that today was his birthday.

"You forgot didn't you?" Tonks asked

"Am I that obvious?" Harry laughed

"Yes" The three of them responded at once

"Right well get dressed and we shall meet you down stairs" Remus said as he led Tonks out of the room Hermione lingered behind for a few extra seconds.

"Hermione I'm going to need to get up now" Harry joked

Hermione smiled walked over to him and kissed him

"Or I could just stay here and make out with you" Harry replied as he kissed Hermione again. After a few more minutes Hermione pulled back

"Happy Birthday" She said as she walked out of his bedroom

"Tease" He muttered under his breath.

Harry appeared down stairs a few minutes later to find them all sitting at the table with a large selection of presents waiting for Harry to open.

"Wow" He managed to say completely gob smacked by the sheer quantity.

Harry began to open the presents. Tonks had got Harry some Occlumency books and some advanced defensive spell books which Harry was sure would come in handy sooner rather than later.

Remus handed Harry a box wrapped in brown paper.

Opening the box Harry fell silent and still. Inside the box were a variety of his mum and dad's personal belongings.

"It seemed only fitting that these items were returned to you considering they are rightfully yours" Lupin smiled as tears formed in Harry's eyes.

Inside the box he found his mum and dad's wands in their original boxes.

"This is unbelievable" Harry whispered

Harry hugged Remus and thanked him he was sure that he was going to find some kind of peace from this box and he would make sure to look at it more closely later on.

Harry opened the presents until he came to Hermione's.

He read the label

Hopefully this will give you some of the peace that you so rightly deserve. Happy Birthday xx

Harry opened the parcel and found two things. One was a photo album of his parents and Harry's time at Hogwarts. The second was a journal.

"I know it's mushy to have a journal but I always found that it helps. Its protected so that only you will be able to read it. If you want others to see it then put your wand to it and state the person's name"

Harry hugged her and kissed her cheek

"Thank You"

After a quick breakfast Remus announced that they were going to Diagon Alley so that Harry and Hermione could get their school supplies. So after some quick preparations they were on their way. Tonks took Hermione and Remus took Harry. A quick turn on the spot and a strong pulling sensation left both Harry and Hermione wanting to throw up.

"We just apparated didn't we?" Harry asked

"Yes, and quite successfully too most have the urge to throw up the first time" Tonks answered

"Can't imagine why" Hermione muttered

The school supplies were brought quickly and without any major concerns there were a few people that wanted to wish Harry luck for the upcoming war but they were quickly passed aside.

"Oh I completely forgot I was meant to go and see Griphook about my parents will do we have time to go and see him?" Harry mentioned as they sat eating lunch in the leaky cauldron

"Of course, come on lets go now" Remus answered

Arriving at Gringotts the 4 of them were shown into a private room the same as where Harry and Hermione were before. Shortly after Griphook arrived with a rolled piece of parchment.

"Ah Mr. Potter and Miss Granger welcome back, I can only assume that you are Mr. Lupin and Miss Tonks?" The little goblin asked. The two of them nodded and greeted Griphook.

"Ok enough socialising let's get down to why you are here. I have here the last will and testament of James and Lilly Potter. Both made separate Wills as a precaution"

"Forgive my asking Griphook but why was Harry not informed of these wills the first time he came into Gringotts?" Tonks asked

"It is a with a heavy burden that we goblins admit that we were deceived by one Albus Dumbledore. He used his position in the wizengamot to put a freeze on these wills making them inaccessible without the request permission of Mr. Potter here"

It was genius really. Put something under a lock and give you the key. Of course you do not know you have the key and you certainly do not know what it is for.

Griphook unrolled the first piece of parchment and began to read aloud

This is the last will and testament of James Potter, I am of sound mind body and spirit and this will over rules any and all previous wills.

Firstly I can only assume that if I have been killed and this will is being read out then myself and Lily have been betrayed. If that is the case then let it be known that Peter Pettigrew was the secret keeper of our fidelius charm. Not Sirius!

Now onto the bequests.

Remus Lupin, my furry friend to you I leave you 10% of the Potter estate. You were always a good man Remus and I pray that you find the happiness you seek

To Sirius Black, you old fart what can I say. Your my best friend and my son's godfather. I also leave you 10% of our estate.

The rest of our estte is to be divided. 40% to lily and 40% to Harry. Should Lily die as well then the remaining 80% is left solely to Harry. I shall set a trust fund up which is refilled at the start of each year.

I love you always my son and I pray you have a good life.

Lily, you are the love of my life my biggest hope is that you have not died as well but should you also perish know that I will be waiting for you forever more.

All had tears in their eyes but gestured for Griphook to continue with Lily's Will

This is the last will and testament of Lily Potter. I am of sound mind and body and this will over rides and previous wills.

I have left it to James to the division of our estate should we both die.

The only bequests I have to give are my old potion and spell books these have been placed in the protection of the Goblins and are inaccessible to everyone but Harry. He and he alone can choose who has the right of access to them.

Harry my son. I know that you must be sad. You were always happiest when your father and I were with you but if this will is being read out then I know we have broken the promise we made to you the day you were born. The promise to be with you always. If I cannot be there then I know one of the following people below will be able to give you a happy childhood.

If myself and James are dead then Harry is to go to the following people in ascending order.

Sirius Black

Remus Lupin

Andromeda Tonks

Augusta Longbottom

Dan and Emma Granger

Harry is NOT to go to my sister petunia she and her fat slob of a husband hate magic and will conspire to belittle Harry about it for as long as possible.

Be safe my love and know we love you always in this life and the next.

Silence. Harry was meant to go to Hermione's parents. How did they know them? Harry and Hermione had to find out but first there was other issues to address

"Griphook can any charges be placed on Dumbledore for not following the instructions of my parents will?" Harry asked

"Indeed they can Mr. Potter. It is a crime punishable by Life in Azkaban to not following the wills of any witch or wizard let alone that of a wizard belonging to the most ancient and noble house of Potter"

"Ancient of what and what?" Harry asked. Hermione was astounded

"Harry if the ancient and most noble family's are the oldest family's in the wizarding world they are deemed Lords and Lady's of the magical community. It is a dangerous thing to go against any one of them" Hermione informed him.

Harry started thinking of the next part of his plan.

"Hermione it's time we put phase two of our plan into motion but first things first. We need to speak to your parents"

Hermione nodded and took hold of his hand.

The four of them left Gringotts on a mission.
