Chapter 2

As the magic wash over a sleeping Harry Potter, the site for the goblins was something to be seen. The goblins watch as Harry Potter sink into the pool, unable to move or do anything to help. The voice spoke to them," Return to your posts and office. Mr. Ragnok thank your people for all that you have done and will continue to do in the future. I ask now that you will monitor Mr. Potter vaults and restrict access to all except Mr. Potter and claim all money that was taken without his approval." said the Voice

"I will." stated Ragnok.

Harry eyes stared into nothingness, it was dark, no air, just nothingness.

"Don't be scare young one, your perfectly fine, your vision is not lost, and if it's that what you're thinking. The pool that you step into is an ancient one. Some even say that it belongs to the Lady of the Lake, where Arthur got his sword. This body of water is where magic first got started. A Long time, before Hogwarts, Gringotts, magic was new. This is a time before Merlin, a time where man was now starting to discovered new lands and travel seas to find many interesting things. There was a place so wonderful, and mysterious and lands that hold maybe mysterious things. But there's time for that later. I just wanted to say somethings, first is that you have been chosen by magic to carry on my legacy. I was known throughout my time as an Emperor, but I would say I was justice for the weak. Justice for all that have been taken advantage by others. This vault has not gold or silver but knowledge and tools to help you on whatever quest you choose. Magic has read you and I find you worthy of this, but know this there are people close to you that will betray you in a second if you do not follow them. There are others that will use you for their own gain. A Finally there are some who will sacrifice you to achieve their own goals. Those people you should look out for and their agenda. Now I will give you some advice, be careful of who you trust, and remember that this is war not some game where you stun your enemies. One last advice its knowledge that is power, think on that. Oh, I gave you a gift when you discover your animagus form I will be in touch."

When Harry step out of the body of water he took a look at himself first, gone was the scrawny teen. Now there was a man no warrior before him, His black hair was no longer messy but straight and long down to his shoulders. His body felt, better no scars from his childhood, it felt has if he was training his entire life. His vision was now perfect, no longer blurry. His magic feels better than ever before, Harry could feel the magic running through him and around him.

After leaving the Ancient Vault and gathering everything that his mother left him in her personal vault. It was time to go back to Number Four and see what awaits him in these letters and scrolls.

After arriving back to Number 4 Harry went to his room and started to read the letters. Starting with his dad's letter.

Dear Harry,

This will probably be the hardest thing I will have to write. I'm hoping that it will not come to this and I will be there in person to tell you everything about our family. I will assume that you have been to Gringotts and found out about the Ancient Vault. First of r you do don't tell anyone about it. There will be some who will try to use you to get what they need out of you and it. More on that later. Our family have a long history of being warriors, scholars, ministers, knights and many more. The Potter family have always been magically powerful, that is why others try to kill us or wants us to join them. The Potters are one of the seven founding fathers of the Ministry of Magic, so you will inherit that political power. Now there are some properties that you will need to look at. There is one that will help you, which is hidden away in the family vault, on our own island. That property is special, it has many books, and is ward to stop almost every type of attacks. If you going there do not tell anyone it is a Potter family secret, only those that pass the potter's test can enter. I know your mother have a lot to tell you, so I will say this, be care of those you trust, always follow your instinct and heart. Remember that we love you and we are always watching over you my son.

James "Prongs" Potter.

As Harry read more and more of the letters about the Potter family and their status in both the wizarding and muggle world he had an understanding about his family.

Finally he got to his mother's letter, opening it slowly.

Dear Harry,

I have been trying writing this letter many times, wondering what to say what to write. After reading what your father wrote I felt compel to write and tell you some things that you should know. First, Albus Dumbeldore is not to be trusted. I'm not saying that he is evil, he likes to control things and will do everything in his power to do so. Even if it means doing something that others would not like, he will do so. He also likes to play things close to his chest and would not reveled them until it was too late. Your father and I were part of this order that he create to fight Voldemort. We just talked about things and never gather intelligence. When intelligence was gathered nothing was done. Of course everyone assume that Dumbeldore knows what is best. We started to learn the hard way after some of the members and our friends were being killed. That's is when I started to do things differently with your father. I worked in the Department of Mysteries, I was on a special project that only I and your father knows. My work was to find ways of having to use magic without a wand, but with other tools that we bond to. My work was almost done and would have been done if it was not for Albus Dumbeldore telling us that we need to hide because Voldemort was after us. I had a friend in Hogwarts name Severus Snape who owled me out of nowhere to warn me about someone in the Order of Phoenix that betrayed us. So with that knowledge I worked hard on other things that will be of help to you in the future. When Dumbeldore told myself and Alice Longbottom about a prophecy that will bring the fall of the Dark Lord, I made plans and keep them in Gringotts with your father know and myself knowing. Most of the books, scrolls I collected are ancient knowledge that I gather from a vault that I inherited, one that was never open in a long time. Only one person other than myself knows and that is your father. I made him promise not to tell anyone about this finding. I left my things in the family home on Potter Island, if your father told you about the family home. I would suggest to go there Harry and learn about everything you can. I build and charm a chamber that makes time go slower in the chamber then outside. Also the vails in the vault are memories and lesson from others on different magic. I thought that you will need to know and how to use different methods rather than what Dumbledore teaches. I would strongly recommend that you learn everything it is to learn about magic. It's all on the intent and not light and dark.

Be safe my son.

Lily Evans Potter.

The words of Lily Potter ran into his heart, here was his mother giving him advice on how to do things his way. Finally, Harry has something of his mother's not a letter, but advice on how to do things and not let other dictate what they want you to. With that said Harry took everything vail, books, scrolls, and a katana.

With that Harry return to the Ragnok's Office and took a potkey to Potter Island.

Landing on a sandy beach, Harry walk around inspecting his surroundings. There was a walking path between the trees, so Harry followed it. At the end of the path was a big gate with a phoenix on one side and a lion on the other. Not know that the statue were there to judge all visitors, Harry put his hand on the gate, a flow on energy left his hand and flow through the gate . Entering the ground, Harry was greeted by houseleves of the Potter House.

"Greetings, Young Master Potter, I'm the care taker on the manor. My name is Sif, Welcome to the Ancestral Home of the Potter. Please come inside, I have been expecting you for quite some time now, there is my to discuss." Said Sif.

"Thank you, Sif can you tell me more about this manor and the island." Asked Harry.

"This manor was originally built a very long time ago, by the heir to the Ancient One. It was built to house his family and train future generations for whatever their purpose in life was. Later on a year and generations gone by, everyone has added their own piece of them in the manor that they love. You mother use this often to make plans create spells, and train on the family magic." Said Sif.

With that Sif took Harry to the Master bedroom, it was huge, the room overlook the ocean and the grounds. There was also a master bathroom, nothing like Hogwarts, it was modern. Also Harry notice there was a training ground for different type, running, swords, and swimming. This would be every use full.

Harry decide to make us of the study room and send some letters that needed to be done.

Dear Hermione

This will be the fifth attempt to write this letter to you. By now if you are reading this, then you will probably already know that I have left the Dursley's. That means I am on my own, I can no longer sit back and enjoy my childhood as Dumbledore wants me too. To start of I never had one, in the first place. Voldemort and the death of my parents and living with my relatives saw to that. I left you somethings but in order to retrieve them you will have to go to Gringotts. I have decided not to trust Dumbledore and the Weasleys' I know how this may sound to you. But, trust me, think about back to our first year. Wasn't those traps easy for a first year to get through? Why not hard and more complicated magic and enchantments. Voldemort could have easily broke through them and steal the stone. Last question, why was three eleven year olds had to stop them. Answer it was a test to see how well I can do under pressure. If that does not tell you something then try the next year and why was everyone told how to get on the platform and not myself. Why was Mrs. Weasley saying words like "platform 9 ¾ this way." That have broken the statue of secrecy. I have been doing a lot of thinking, and I come to realized that Dumbledore has not been truthful to me. So I have stop following his orders.

Harry

Ps. if you need extra parchment tell me know.

Dear, Prof. Dumbledore

I have come to realized that you have not been truthful to me. I found out some things through Gringotts that you should have told me. I'm not sure your reasons why but I know this, it's my life to live not yours. I will do things my way. I have read the will for my parents and you have ignored their wishes. Why would you go against their wishes, also it stated in their wills that Peter was the secret keeper not Sirius? As I learn more about my family the less I trust you, explain to me why you did what you did. Because looking back at my years, it looked to me that you were testing me. Hired Gringotts to audit my vaults and recover all that was taken.

Harry Potter

Ps. If you reply to this, it better be answers otherwise it will be ignored.

With those letters finished Harry send them off to Hermione and Dumbledore. He decided to look at some memories to gather some knowledge about his mother Lily Potter and what she had done.

The Memories were from different source of magic, pensive memory lesson that what these vials are. Lesson that his mother gather to teach him. So Harry decided to start with the basics, wandless then go on to different types of magic's, sword combat and finally, rituals. Deciding that now would be a good time to use the chamber that his mother had built. Stepping in Harry set the time for an hour. That is how long it should take to learn the basics about wand less and apparition.

Meanwhile

Hermione Granger had finished her homework and it was only the first week here. She had wrote letters to Ron and Harry but was just waiting for one of their owls to come. It was a trying week at the Grangers, Hermione had told her parents what was going on in the wizarding world. To say that they were not surprise that she had not told them. Of course like any parent they wanted to protect her by pulling her out of Hogwarts and sending her somewhere else. Unknown to her there was a letter on its way to help her and her family.

Hermione sat on her bed thinking about her best friend Harry, how terrible things seem to always happen to find. He would make it and worry about other instead of himself. She decided it was time to stop being helpless and start training.

Every morning Hermione would jog and then go to the local gym to improve her endurance. After she would take some class in self-defense that her mother insisted on.

When she got home later there was some letters address to her. First letter was from Harry, ripping it open she read what he had to say. She was sad about his decision on leaving, but happy that he is still learning. She was surprise that he left something at Gringotts for her and had her house paid to be warded.

Hermione decide to trust her friend, and decide to go to Gringotts to have the wards put up immediately. After telling her parents about what Harry did for her, they decided to take her to London tomorrow.

Hermione arrived at Gringotts the next day and went to Griphook.

"Hello Ms. Granger, how are you doing today? We've been expecting you. Mr. Potter left some items her for you, if you would step this way. Your parents are welcome to follow." Said Griphook.

"Mr. Potter left some letters and paid for and inheritance test. He also left this wand for you. If you would just step right this way we can start with the inheritance test."

Hermione and her parents followed Griphook to the inheritance room.

"If you would just take the dagger and slice you palm and then press in on the paper."

Hermione did just that, she took the dagger and slice her palm and press it on the parchment. It took a while but then names started to appear on the parchment. All of them were muggles except for one, which stood out to her. That name was Ravenwood, this surprise Hermione who pride herself on knowing everything about her family. The Ravenwood were a noble family long ago, they were powerful. That much she know about them, more research will need to be done. Perhaps there is some information in the vault about this family. After signings the documents and taking the cart down to the vaults. Hermione did not waste any time and went straight for the books and old tomes. Hermione grab a handful on books and then went to look at the wands.

"Hello, dear you must a Ravenwood descendant. I'm Lady Ravenwood, or Morgan if you will." Said Lady Morgan Ravenwood portrait.

"Hello, my name is Hermione Granger, and yes I'm your descendant. I just did the inheritance test. Can you tell me more about the Ravenwood family?" Asked Hermione

"Certainly my dear, The Ravenwood is an old and Noble Family, we started during the days of Arthur. There was a family one man, a wife and a daughter. The man left and went to study with King Arthur on the ways of becoming a Knight. The wife left to study with Morgana Le Fey. That left the daughter, who went to Merlin to study. After the war the family was reunited and share what they had learn for their teachers. The family always believe that you should fight for what you believe in and not what others want you to. Generations after generations that family share knowledge and magic, always doing what they can. Finally they decided that they should gather the other lords and form a council. That my dear is when the Ministry of Magic was born. I would suggest taking some of the books and a wand. Those will allow you to practice magic outside of school. I would also wear the ring my dear, it can stop minding, and most love potions." Said Lady Ravenwood.

"Thank you, Lady Ravenwood." Said Hermione.

With that said Hermione gather up some books and took one for the wands on the table. The wand glowed brightly in her hand.

After taking her items and put the ring on her finger, Hermione left the vault and return to the surface. To meet with her parents and Griphook.

"Ms. Granger, Mr. Potter said to give this to you after you did you inheritance test and go to your vault." Said Griphook

Dear Hermione,

If you're read this that means you have done the inheritance test and claim your vault. If I know you and I do you went you the olds and try to read up on your family. While you were doing this I have taken it upon myself to set up wards around your house and neighborhood. So you can now practice magic without the Ministry knowing, if anyone wants to harm you they will be taken out.

Love Harry

PS. I suggest you check out Muggleborn Alley, if you heard of it. If not I suggest you should check it out. There are different branches of magic and other things to your liking. Do not tell anyone about it. See you in September.

After read the note Hermione pocketed it and left with her parents.

Meanwhile Several Hours earlier…..

Harry was walking around London look for something, he was not sure what it was he was looking for but to him his instincts were guiding him to somewhere. His instincts took him a strange alley, this alley was similar to Diagon Alley. Unsure of what is going on here, Harry continued on by following his instincts. Which lead him to a store, which had wands and staff on the shelves and window. Suddenly something came flying to him. His seeker instincts kick in and caught it. In his hand was a beautiful hand crafted wand. It was not like any other wand he had seen. This was different it speaks to him and to Harry it was like seeing a long lost friend again.

"Ah, it seems that this wand has finally found someone worthy of it. Might I inquire the name, sir." Asked the gentleman behind the counter.

"Sorry, I'm Harry Potter sir. "Said Harry

"Ah, nice to meet you Mr. Potter, My name is Girolamo Riario. This is my wand shop or magical focus is you will in what we call Muggleborn Alley." Said Girolamo.

"Muggleborn Alley? I never heard of it before." Said Harry

"That because the Ministry does not know about us, you see the British Magical World is pureblood run. Everything that they can control or make money for themselves they will do it. But if a muggleborn was to make money of something better than the pureblood's idea. The purebloods will classified it as dark and do everything in their power to discredit them. That is what happened here, most of the muggleborns were promised they would get better jobs in the magical world, after graduating they would not be able to get a higher paying job. The highest pay job would be the lowest paying job for a pureblood. So that is why many have left because of this backwards society that made promise they never kept. Some of the purebloods for your equal rights for all, those that fought were either killed and blamed on the dark side or others were discredited and never allowed to work in politics again. This is why we create the "Muggleborn alley", here thing will be better than purebloods items. For example, did you know that Ollivander's Wand is Ministry run? Think about it, he is the only wand shop in Diagon Alley that is monitor by the Ministry. He has no children and has been around for a long time. Others try to study wand lore to bring some competition to the market. But, their place was either destroy or the owner moved to the continent for a better market. You see Ollivander sells wands that the Ministry can trace, that helps them keep the Statue of Secrecy intact. You have purebloods who have wands that are not trace and they can do magic outside of school. So other have come together and create this alley, we don't advertise to the public because the Ministry will try to shut us down." Said Girolamao.

"Wow I never thought of that. What can you tell me about this wand." Asked Harry

"Well that wand has been in my possession for a while now. I found it on a dig in Rome. It was said to belong to a long lost Roman Magical Solider. I'm not sure who it was, but when I held it in my hands, I had a feeling that this wand was to be in my possession until a new owner came for it. Now it calls to you. You should know that this wand has three modes." Said Girolamo

"Modes? I don't understand" said Harry

"Yes modes, you see all wands I make has different modes, this wand has the same. It was a staff mode and also a katana mode and finally the default wand mode. Each have different magical means and it is up to you to find it. I wish you the best of luck Mr. Potter. " said Girolamo

With that said Harry paid for the wand and left to wonder around this new alley. He stopped at different stores and bought new books or different magic and different branches of magic. Harry decided to go to one of his properties and stay for the summer, his family manor would be ideal.

With that said Harry took off to the Potter Island, there Harry sat and thought about what this coming year would bring. Lucky for him he has his parent's memories and other lesson that he can learn from. Harry thought about what would Hogwarts brings this year. To him trouble always seem to find him, no matter if he was looking for it or not. Harry hopes that Hermione would post him and let him know about her status and what she will be doing.

Getting ready to go into the chamber to learn all that he can. Harry decided to first start with Politics and learn the basics, as he is now Head of the Potter Family. After Politics, will be Runes, then Spell crafting and sword play, follow by martial arts. It will be a long couple of months, but it is necessary to prepare for Riddle. With that Harry went into the Time Chamber with books scrolls and the new wand. He set it for 4 months which should be only 4 days.
