Gringotts
As Harry and Severus walked up the steps to Gringotts, Severus was reminded on how manipulative Dumbledore was when they were in St Mungo's.
Flashback
Severus was reading the final words in the Tale of Three Brother's when Albus Dumbledore, holder of too many names turned up at Harry's door.
"Harry my boy, why aren't you at the Dursley's?" Albus asked, not seeing Severus in the chair next to his.
"Who are you and how do you know about the Dursley's?" Said Harry quietly to Dumbledore
"My name is Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, now why aren't you with your aunt and uncle?"
"They are no more his aunt and uncle than you are old man, Lily was adopted." Said Severus, tired of being ignored by the old coot.
"Really dad, mum wasn't even related to Aunt Petunia?"
"Young man, you should not listen to this man, he is the one that sold your parents out to your parent's killer."
"Mum and my step-father's killer, Sev is my dad, the healers did a paren… parten… Dad, what was it again?"
"Paternity tests Harry." Said Sev patiently
"Be that as it may my boy, he might have tricked the healer or-" Albus was cut off by Severus who looked as enraged as a charging bull.
"Now you listen here, I would not lie to an 11 year old boy who's mother is MY WIFE. Yes old man, I married Lily before James could but the three of us kept it secret so then you would never find out. Now you will either leave willingly or you will be forced by aurors to leave, your choice you old coot, oh and I quit."
After those words, Dumbledore literally ran from the room. Severus sighed and went to find a healer so then they could discharge Harry. When he came back he found Harry hiding under his bed with tears streaming down his face.
"Harry, what is it?" Asked Severus quietly trying not to startle him.
"I talked to the old man after you left, and he tried to take me away so I screamed and he disappeared, where did he go?"
"That old coot went back to Hogwarts. It's all right Harry, you did nothing wrong. And now we are able to leave this dump. So, no crying ok."
"Ok Daddy." Grabbing onto Severus' hand, the two left St. Mungo's for Gringotts.
End Flashback
Looking at his son, Severus saw that Harry was watching the goblins in fear.
"It's ok Harry, no one will hurt you here, not even the old coot." Walking up to a teller, Harry hid behind his leg in an effort to remain unseen, completely unnecessary but funny all the same.
"May gold pile high for you and your people." Said Severus in goblin tongue.
"May interest fill you vaults. How may I be of assistance to you Mr. Snape and Potter?"
"Actually its Mr. Potter-Snape, Lily married me before James." Injected Severus.
"Well then, how may I help you gentlemen?"
"We require a bank statement of Harry's vaults as well as a blood test."
"Very well then, come into my office." The short goblin led the duo to a room about a 10 minute walk away from the main entrance of the bank. The goblin sat the duo on chairs in the centre of the room before going to a filing cabinet at the back of the room (1). From here the goblin- identified as Griphook from the plaque on his desk- pulled out a scroll. When he opened said scroll it was blank, Severus looked at the sheet with dawning comprehension. It was a blood scroll, add a drop of blood and it would show your family history- including inheritances of both creature and monetary-as well as deposits and taking of money (A.N I know there is a technical name but I can't remember it). The scroll uses the memory in the blood because all blood has a bit of dad and mum, through this method the scroll shows at least 12 generations of family members, both directly and indirectly related to the sponsor. Griphook explained this to Harry (A.N I am not writing that again).
"Mr. Potter-Snape-"
"-Harry, please call me Harry." He butted in.
"Alright then Harry, prick your finger and let a single drop fall on the page and soon we will know all that is needed." Doing as the goblin said the drop grew into a tree of names (think Black family tree except smaller and to do with Harry). At the top of the scroll, had the names Godric, Salazar, Rowena and Helga. Underneath those were the words Kima, Selaphiel, Nymph and Satyr, respectively. The lines branched out until they met at one Hadrian Salazar Snape-Potter, son of Lily Evens and Severus Snape, adopted son of James Potter.
"Lily wasn't a muggleborn after all." Severus talked to himself softly.
"Dad, are you ok?" Harry asked sofly.
"Yes son, I'm fine. Griphook, is it possible to see if any money was taken out of any of the accounts without permission from Harry?"
"Of course it is, give me a second." And with that, Griphook went to another cabinet and went through it until he came out with a second sheet of parchment, unlike pervious times, this scroll had a lot of writing on it.
"Over the past 5 years, Ginny Weasley, Ron Weasley, Mrs. Weasley and Albus Dumbledore have been taking over 5 million galleons and 2 thousand sickles from the main Potter vault, I am able to get all the money back, with a small fee of one galleon. Also the Potter invisablity cloak, bond rings and hundreds of expensive books have been taken, these will not cost anything to retrieve as they shouldn't have left the vault without a Potter there. No money has been taken from other vaults."
"Collect all money and items with interest, I will pay 10 galleons to do so."
"Of course Mr. Snape. Now, would you like an inheritance test done?"
"Yes, I know that Harry is a Kima, but beyond that, no idea."
"Ok, I will call the manager to do so. It will not take long."
A.N. Sorry for taking so long to update, i do go to school and I just recieved free time, as it is, it is during lunch that I'm posting this... Any way, there is a pole on my page for what other inheritance Harry should have. SO far, no one has voted so, I will go with something else if not. You have 4 weeks, i will post a new update then, as i can't do the next part of this page until then. Be advised, this time may change, depending on how i feel.
