The Unknown Uncle

Chapter 1

Harry knew that when he got to the house something bad was going to happen; Uncle Vernon's face was an unhealthy shade of purple the whole ride back. As the door slammed behind him he wasn't prepared for the meaty fist that met the back of his skull or the kick that followed when he was on the ground.

"How dare you tell lies to the other freaks! What we do here in our home is not their concern!" Vernon roared, spittle flying out of his mouth.

"Uncle Vernon I swear I didn't know that they were going to do something like that and I didn't tell them anything about what goes on in here." Harry whimpered as he felt one of his ribs crack from the kick making it hard to breathe.

When Harry could finally get up Vernon said menacingly "You will right to them every three days and tell them that every thing is alright and that your fine. You will bring me the letter for inspection so that you won't try to message your freaky friends any lies. Finally you will do all the chores that your aunt tells you and you will go straight to your room afterwards, is that clear?"

"Yes Uncle Vernon." Harry replied in a monotone voice. As he got to his room he noticed he wasn't alone, on his bed was a vaguely familiar goblin. "Griphook is that you? What did you do when we first met?" Harry asked. The goblin's eyes widened at his name for so brief a moment that Harry passed it off as a trick of light.

"Hello Mr. Potter I was the goblin that took you to your vault. May I inquire about how you remembered my name?" Griphook asked. "Sure you're the first friendly goblin that I have met so far." Harry replied. "Not to insinuate any thing but why are you here Griphook?"

"Mr. Potter there has been startling revelations concerning your account and your parents will. I have been also given the duty of handing you this summons for the will of Sirius Black." Griphook said in an almost sympathetic voice. Just as Griphook was about to continue there was a flash of flame and a letter appeared.

As Harry opened the letter Griphook looked on in amusement as if he knew what was written in it.

Dear Harry,

As you by now already have a summons to Sirius' will implore you not to go as the dangers to you are great. I will be going in your place as there is no secure way of sending you; also I regret to inform you that you cannot have any outside letters because of reasons stated above. I hope you realize that this is for the greater good that you stay safe

Sincerely,
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

Harry scrunched the letter up and threw it in rage. "How dare he, how dare he do this to me denying me my right to get some closure of Sirius' death. Add to the fact that he's not letting me go anywhere or talk to anyone. This is the last straw dumb-old-dork. I've had enough of him and his Order of The Flaming Turkeys." Harry screamed as a magical wind swept in the room.

"Calm down Mr. Potter we at Gringotts expected something like this." said Griphook in a somewhat commanding and awed voice. "We at Gringotts express our deepest condolences for your loss of your godfather, but we explicit orders to make sure you attend the reading of the will."

Harry calmed down and blushed at his outburst. "I apologize for that Griphook it's just that I realized a few things on the way over here, such as how Dumbledork has been manipulating most of my life." Harry sighed. "You said that you saw some discrepancies about my account, can you tell me what it is? Also can you stop with this Mr. Potter it makes me feel old."

Griphook knew that the rest of the information that he was about to deliver would not be well received but he had to tell him anyway. "Yes Harry, Headmaster Dumbledore has been siphoning funds from you account a few days before the 1st of Sept. before your first year at Hogwarts. Also he has apparently set up a marriage contract between you and a Miss Ginevra Molly Weasley." Griphook said calmly.

"WHAT! Can he do that?" Harry half asked half screamed.

"Yes as your "supposedly" magical guardian he is allowed to invest with you funds as he sees fit to a certain extent, but we at Gringotts have found that he has overstepped his boundaries as your guardian. One such thing is to sign any and all life altering contracts such as the marriage contract." Griphook explained.

Harry narrowed his eyes as something in the previous statement clicked in his mind. "Griphook earlier you said that Dumbledore was supposedly my magical guardian. Why is that?"

"So you caught that did you Harry? Well that has to do with your parents will." Griphook said.

"What will? I didn't even know that they had one." Harry asked him.

"That's strange the Headmaster should have told you on your eleventh birthday as is his duty as your magical guardian. Well Harry they, like all Most Ancient and Noble houses, must have a will. I can't divulge what it says at the moment, but if you come to Gringotts the morning of the reading then I will direct you to who can. I apologize for the inconvenience but that is what I was ordered."

Harry nodded his acceptance of the situation. "Griphook I understand there is no need to apologize about anything. May I ask a question?" Griphook motioned him to ask. "Why are the goblins being so helpful to me, I know that most of you all despise wizards."

"Why should we have any qualms about one that treats us as equals? Most wizards especially purebloods look down on us as nothing more than animals. They seem to forget that we are of the fae and have a different type of magic, and also we are a warrior nation so we don't use magic as a crutch like most pureblood wizards." Griphook explained calmly.

"What day is the reading?" asked Harry.

"It will be on the 15th of July at 3:00pm." Griphook responded.

"Griphook do you have a way you could send me there because its obvious that dumbledork is not going to let me go to the will?" Harry asked.

"Harry the summons is a portkey that will activate at 1o'clock the morning of the will so you don't have to worry about that. Now if that is all I must get back I do have other duties to perform." Griphook stated.

"Of course Griphook sorry for taking up most of your time." As soon as Griphook left Harry almost collapsed on his bed that had taken a lot out of him and the cracked rib was bothering him the whole way through, but he knew that his magic would heal him as it always has and that he'll be fine by morning.

The days leading up to the 15th were all a blur of pain, both emotional and physical. By the time the 15th came around Harry was set in everything that he had to do. He did all of his chores early and was ready. As soon as it turned 1:00PM Harry was whisked away by the portkey, and as he landed he saw Griphook waiting for him.

"Good morning Harry might I suggest that you bend your knees a little so that you won't be on the ground when you land." he said in an amused tone. Grumbling Harry got up and noticed that he was in a privet room.

"So Griphook, what was it you were telling me about my parents will?" Harry asked.

"The Director of the Gringotts Bank wanted to explain it to you as your families account is one of the oldest and major account we have here at Gringotts. He will be here shortly." Griphook explained.

It was just a few moments after Griphook said that when one of the fittest and most human looking goblins Harry had seen. He look so other worldly and noble that if Harry wasnt straight he would have tryed to get with him.

"Hello Mr. Potter. It seems we have a lot to discuss and a short amount of time to do so. Let us begin shall we." the goblin said.

Sorry for the cliffy but I felt that that was a good place to stop. Not as long as I would have liked but its getting there. Please R&R they help keep me going. All flames will be used to roast marshmallows. Also my unofficial Beta gave me this revision so here it is thanks LivingLegends
