Reading the Wills
"So...Harry-chan while we wait for people to get here to read the wills, do you have any questions or things you would like to do?" quarried Nanami.
"Well you said I had cousins. What are their names and how old are they?" Harry asked shyly, after all when he had asked Aunt Petunia if he had any she had struck him and said no and not to ask again. He didn't think his Aunt Nanami was like that, but she was an adult and he had never really had any luck with those.
Nanami gave a small soft smile and said, "Yes you do have cousins. One is named Tohru, and she is living in Japan. The other is named Naruto and he is living in the Elemental Countries. As for their ages they are the same age as you." as she was talking her eyes caught again on the writing on the back of his hand and coming quickly to a decision she stood and hailed a passing goblin. "I'd like to get in touche with a lawyer, could you please contact one for me, or direct me to where I can find one?"
"You are in luck Miss Uzamaki, Mrs. Bones is here today. I'll go see if she would be willing to help you out." and off he went. A few minutes later Mrs. Bones walked over, "Miss Uzamaki? I was told you had need of a lawyer?"
"No I don't. My nephew however does. I know very few things about this world, but I do not think it is completely legal to assign students to write lines in their own blood. Am I correct in this assumption?"
Mrs. Bones mouth thinned and tightened into a white line, "You are very much correct. Who may I ask is your nephew? I'll need to ask him a few questions."
Nanami turned and called, "Harry-chan come here please. This lady here is a lawyer and she would like to talk to you about your hand. Please dear heart I loved my sister so much that I really cannot abide by anyone spilling her blood. And believe me child her blood very much runs threw your veins."
'Well when she puts it like that...' Harry thought as he came towards his Aunt and the lawyer. "Hi, my name is Harry Potter. What questions do you have?"
Mrs. Bones swallowed hard. The Boy-Who-Lived was subjected to what sounded like a blood quill. The wizarding world was going to be in an uproar. Still if it was true, it was her job to right it.
"Okay we will just go sit over here and I'll you questions one at a time one of which will be your name. It is just a formality to get make everything legal and above board. Sound okay so far?"
"Yes."
"What is your name?"
"Harry Potter."
"Mr. Potter, what school do you go to?"
"Hogwarts."
"I noticed you have writing on the back of your hand. What does it say?"
"I Must Not Tell Lies."
"How did it get there."
"A black quill."
"How did you come into possession of this quill?"
"A Teacher handed it to me."
"Why did the teacher give you this quill?"
"To write lines."
"Why were you writing lines?"
"I was in detention."
"For what?"
"Saying Voldemort was alive, and that he had killed Cedric."
"Was this during class?"
"Yes."
"Which one?"
"Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"Who was the Teacher?"
"A Miss Dolerues Umbridge."
"Did she oversee your detention?"
"Yes."
"Did she tell you about the quill?"
"No, she just said when I said there's no ink, that it didn't need it. I thought that meant it was self inking."
"What happened next?"
"I wrote the line as directed and it cut itself into my hand. When she asked if there was a problem I asked, but she said she was a ministry official and knew very well what was and wasn't allowed. So I continued."
"How long were these detentions?"
"They started after dinner and went until midnight."
"Did she ever give you a blood replenisher or anything to help with the scarring?"
"No she wanted the message to sink in."
Mrs. Bones closed her eyes briefly then, "Mr. Potter, I have carefully recorded your answers and now all I need is a picture of your hand and perhaps a memory supporting your claims. I want this as airtight as possible. Also in regards to your words that You-Know-Who is alive and killed Cedric could you also give me your memory of that event?"
"Finally, Yes I will." Mrs. Bones stood up a little shaky and called the aurors and had them bring all the important forms and documents.
"Now there is one more thing, Mr. Potter and Miss Uzamaki. This will need to be brought to trail. Are you going to be staying in the area?"
"Afraid not. I have a niece to find. But here is my card just tap it with your wand and give the time and date of the trail and we will be there." Nanami answered handing over as she spoke a blank card with a whirlpool imprinted on it.
"Ah, thank-you Miss Uzamaki. Well have a good day Mr. Potter." Mrs. Bones then extended her hand and after shaking hands with Nanami and Harry left. Rattling orders to the aurors she swiftly made her departure. And just in time as it turned out, Griphook came up to them and stated, "Everyone has been gathered that are pertinent to the reading of the will. This way." and lead them to a room full of chairs and people. When they were seated a goblin cleared his throat loudly to gain the attention of those present.
"I am Bloodhoarder, the executor of both the Potter's will and the Black will. We will start with the Potter will as it should have been read long ago. Any who cause a fuss will be forcible removed." Giving a sharp grin the goblin passed his hand over a silvery orb sitting on a gold pillow. With a flash of light the smoky forms of Lily and James Potter were seen floating above the orb.
"I, Lily Sayuri Uzamaki Evans Potter, and I, James Harrison Potter do being of sound mind declare this to be our last will and testament. That being said and done, Our secret keeper was one Peter Pettigrew. Sirius Black was a decoy. He is also our son's, Harry James Potter's, godfather. Harry is to go to him. If something happened to Sirius, then Harry is to go to his godmother Alice Longbottom. Should something happen to her, then he should be placed with Remus Lupin. If as I suspect the Ministry is going to be dickheads, (James Potter!) then he will be sent to one of Lily's sisters. But Under no circumstances is he to be placed with Petunia Dursley and her family. The sisters we are talking about are in order as fallowed Kyoko Honda, Kushina Uzamaki, and Nanami Uzamaki. Lily has a request concerning one of them. I would request that should Harry wind up with Nanami that Severus Snape also go and live with them to care for my son. Severus, Nanami please understand that you are not last minute choices. The others were couples, well except for Sirius and Remus, but Sirius is Harry's godfather, and Remus is a responsible and reliable adult who was not on the active duty mission roster (Nanami) or a spy (Severus). By having you two paired up to take care of Harry, I know he will be safe and well taken care of and anyone who tries otherwise will die a slow and painful death. Now that that is taken care of to the next part of the will.
The caretakers of our son will be provided a sum of money each month to take care of Harry. That sum is 1,000 galleons. Sirius is to get 20,000 galleons. Remus 30,000 galleons and Winding Roads a nice secluded cottage with four libraries located in Dartmouth Moore. Alice and Frank Longbottom 10,000 galleons. 2,000 galleons to Kyoko Honda, Kushina Uzamaki, and Nanami Uzamaki. Severus Snape gets 20,000 galleons. Dumbledore is to get 60,000 galleons however if Harry is sent to Petunia's he gets one knut. (Ya! His own once my sisters castrate the bastard!) (LILY!) Petunia Dursley gets 1,000 pounds, because even though we did not get along she is still family. Everything else is to go to Harry James Potter. And that concludes the will. Take care everyone. The Potters."
Bloodhoarder spoke then, "That does indeed conclude the Potters will. And now for the Black will."
Bloodhoarder waved his hand over second orb that sat on a red pillow. And Sirius Black's face looked out at the crowd.
"I, Sirius Orion Black, being of sound mind declare this to be my last will and testament. Okay now that that's done listen up pup! It was not your fault. If I ended up dead trying to save you and you are still alive then I consider my death well spent. You Harry are like a son to me. So chin up pup! Plus I hereby name you as the heir to the Blacks. I also reinstate Andromeda Tonks and her daughter Nymphadora Tonks back into the family. I disinherit Isabella Lestrange from the Blacks. Cissy the only reason you are still in the family is because I am certain you were not the one to kill me. Dumbledore I leave you nothing, nada, zip. You knew I was innocent, you cast the bloody spell. And yet you did nothing. Mooney I leave you Grimwald place. We spent a lot of time there together, and I want you to have it. Please, please on Marauder honor get rid of that painting. You know which one. Oh I also leave you 100,000,000 galleons. Haha! You can't get out of it now Remus! Think of all the pranks you can buy, or the clothes, or books, or if you absolutely must the wolvesbane. Remus I tried to contact Lily's sisters and only Nanami is still alive. You remember James and Lily saying that if Harry should wind up with her that Severus will go with them hopefully? Well I'm hoping you'll tag along to watch over the cub. Its just a request mind you. Severus Snape I am sorry. I never could say it to you while alive so I'll say it now. I am sorry. Its no good I know, but it is true I know you cared for Lily and that you were a spy and I trust you. Amazing huh? Well I also have a bunch of rare potion books set aside in a vault for you. Have fun, go wild, wear another color other then black. To the Weasley Twins I give you 20,000 galleons. And have Mooney fetch my prank book from under my bed at Grimwald place. Name a prank after me. Well this is it. I, Messier Padfoot have to go meet Messier Prongs now. Messier Mooney, kick Messier Wormtail in the balls for me. And that concludes this will. Take care everyone. Lord Black."
Bloodhoarder stood and spoke, "We here at Gringotts have looked through everything and Harry is now under the guardianship of Miss Nanami Uzamaki, and Severus Snape. Everything else will be taken care of. Have a nice day." he then bowed and left. Everyone filed except for Nanami, Harry, Severus, and Remus.
Nanami spoke then, "Well seems we have things to discuss then. Remus are you going to come with us? Severus I must ask you to join us in the Elemental Countries. I have a niece and another nephew to find. And I think it would be best for Harry to get away from here."
Severus spoke up first, "I agree." and he left it at that still studying Nanami silently. Remus nodded to show his answer.
"Well then go pack! The portakey for Japan should be ready soon." she chirped. And away they went.
