Chapter 8: How Much Am I Worth?
As the images of James and Lily faded, the torches relit and everyone looked around. There were many teary ears and a number of blank faces.
"This concludes the reading of Lily and James Potter's will. Mr. Potter, under the circumstances I believe we should move onto to our last piece of business since you and your soulmate are present." Harry just nodded and wrapped his arms around Ginny even tighter then before.
"Very well, since this will take some time to go over, I will have dinner brought to us here. Headmaster, we can alert Hogwarts that you will be returning very late."
"Thank you Griphook, but I'll have my phoenix deliver a note." With a flash of flame, Fawkes appeared and began to sing his beautiful song. As he finished he picked up the parchment Albus had written and disappeared in ball of fire.
"Excellent, well to our last peace of business; Mr. Potter last night when you became High Lord of Hogwarts, you were granted your emancipation under some very old wizarding laws. It was reinforced by your parents will, and you becoming the new Head of both the Black and Potter Families so the Ministry cannot stop you. I should also tell you that once we have concluded our business here, the paperwork will be forwarded to the Ministry."
"I understand sir, please continue."
"Now I am the Estate Manager for both the Potter Family and the Black Family, I have detailed break downs of both estates for you to review and initial." The goblin handed over two folders; one had the Gryffindor/Potter crest on it while the other had the Black crest on it.
Harry opened the Black family folder first:
