Chapter 4 of Mystic Summer (re-uploaded)
Disclaimer: I do not own anyone or anything apart from some OC'S that may show up later on and Harry Potter is owned by JK Rowling and not me along with Power Rangers not being owned by me as I am merely taking inspiration from their work and making this story from an idea that I had.
FYI: I am working on this fic and hoping that it does not get deleted again because of problems with the makers of Fanfiction.
P.S: For those who are reading this please vote on my Poll as it is for another HP crossover that I have previously created and am in need of more votes for it to be used in my third chapter of 'Magical Ninja: The Beginning'.
London Area (Unknown Street)
Harry Potter had only just made it to the Leaky Cauldron but not before placing his dad's cloak in his shrunken trunk when he had ducked into a nearby alley earlier on so as to not raise suspicion.
The reason was because he had trouble getting through London from Kings cross without bumping into people as he could have his cloak taken off by accident by bumping into a passing person he did not see and after he had taken off the cloak Harry had put on a hat that Harry had bought on his way to his destination with what little muggle money he had left with him for his purchasing of the hat.
It was done so as to cover his famously annoying lightning bolt scar which a many a Wiz or Wicka (I'm doing this to try it out to see if it starts a trend to make it easier to say wizard or witch, probably won't) will recognise him and cause them to stare and point and draw attention to him.
He made his way inside the candle lit wizarding pub once he got there while being watchful of who might pose a threat or may make him start a scene like drunk a person knocking his hat off and he did not want that at all.
Thankfully he made it outside the back of the pub to the brickway entrance into the Magical Street and tapped the bricks the same way Hagrid had done the first time Harry came here earlier this year and memorised the combination.
So Harry had stepped through the wall once the pathway cleared of its bricks and made his way through the alley while looking at the shops and their names along with what they are for so that he can map out the stores for later use and with that done he had made his way to the entrance to the Goblin guarded Bank for the third phase in his plan.
He made his way inside recognizing the warning rhyme from the last time he was here, on the wall above the entrance to the building it read out as:
"Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there."
As Harry made his way to the goblin teller he made sure to look at the nameplate on the front of the desk and as Harry stood in front of the goblin he said to him, as the Goblin teller looked down at Harry, "Honourable Goblin Grindbone my name is Harry Potter and I was wondering if I could have a discussion with my accountant on my finances and such".
Harry said this in a very polite tone which seemed to shock the teller as he seemed to have not expected such manners shown to a goblin but he composed himself and said to the young Wizard.
"Very well Mr Potter but we will need to validate you with a blood sample so please place some into this bowl to my right for identification," while the Goblin Grindbone was speaking he gave Harry a dagger to cut his palm which he did so and dropped the blood into the bowl which after that Harry's hand healed much to his astonishment but quickly paid more attention to the stone bowl which glowed green.
Grindbone nodded at the result of the test which he then turned back to face Harry as he said "Well Mr Potter your claim as to who you are seems correct, so if you will follow me to your accountant."
Harry so he did after a number of corridors they were in front of a large golden door with the name 'Ragnock' on it after knocking on said door they went inside.
The inside of the office was decorated like a posh old style office with black marble and gold covering everything and the goblin behind a large black marble desk nodded to the two guests to take a seat on the high back chairs which they did and next when the goblin laced his hands together after finishing his paperwork he spoke to Harry after a moment's pause.
"So what does Mr. Potter require of my services today," in return the young man spoke back politely.
"Honourable HeadBanker Ragnock I wish to go over my finances, assets, estates and such because I do not know a lot of the magical world and was hoping for guidance and information from the one who will know of such things about it which would be you."
Harry was saying this in hope of them complying and after a few minutes the goblin spoke respectfully yet exasperated, "It is a deep honour for a wizard such as yourself to be asking for one of our kinds help but I am confused surely your magical guardian had informed you of such things as we had already sent a copied folder containing such information to him for him to give to you this year".
Harry gave them a confused look saying "I did not receive such information nor do I know of what or who may be my magical guardian." Harry saying to them gave both goblins in the room shocked expressions and then angry ones but had calmed when their faces started to scare the young wizard.
The goblin at the desk said, "In saying that I shall inform you as your MG (better and easier to type than Magical Guardian ) is Albus Dumbledore who was required to tell you such things as is wizarding law dictates he does such things for his charge."
On hearing the headmasters name Harry became furious which showed on his face but calmed down after some pleasing images in his mind of the headmaster dangling over a tank of hungry sharks along with being attacked in the Quidditch stands by flying snitches and bludgers, and so with the pleasing images calming him Harry replied in answer to the goblins information.
"Would it be at all possible to not have Dumbledore as my MG anymore and receive emancipation along with other services that can be offered by yourself and any other goblins also I would like to enquire if my parents had left me a will and anything else that I would require."
The goblin contemplated this for a few minutes and took out a number of folders, parchment and boxes and said "These are all you will need to start your enquires but first sign this document."
Which was handed back to Harry who looked at it which was emancipation papers of which he signed right away when he felt a slight pain in his hand and saw his name written on his hand in red but disappeared and he gave a confused look at Ragnock who explained that the quill he used was a blood quill and was to be used for official legal documents which he nodded shrugging it off as another strange thing about the magical world and looked at the document on the desk.
The document separated into two, one of which was gone in a flash of which the goblin told Harry that it was on its way to the Ministry to be placed in their record room so that they would know but was assured that Dumbledore would know last of this and the other copy had set itself on top of the desk for safety then the goblin handed the folder which he explained contained a copy of the will as the original was destroyed in the attack on Godric's Hollow and it also contained bank statements which described all of the information on the Potter Finances, Estates and etcetera.
The boxes contain letters from his parents along with rings linking to families Harry was heir of and said rings were told to be given once a blood test was given to determine which magical family he belonged to once everything was read and understood so with courage Harry took the first letter which was from his mother and opened it to read.
Dear, my darling son Harry
If you are reading this then yes I am dead and you have been left to the vile head-bastard's evil schemes and you have been taken from your family illegally by him but fear not for your mother has a plan for you see I have an older cousin who is in fact a powerful witch who can look after you for us and protect you from that old man.
What you need to do is take the blood test for it will show the family trees of all the families that you are connected to and which are still alive or are dead along with the magical talents you have.
To contact my cousin you will need to take the test and it will list were she is and she will instantly know where you are and how to reach you. I hope you live a happy life with her and she can be the parent we could not be now.
With love, your mother
Lily Potter (nee) Evans.
Harry was happy and a bit emotional at finding out that his mother did love him but was also in shock from what the letter told him as he did not know he had any other relatives from his mother's side besides his Aunt Petunia and Dudley and what else he learned in the letter was astounding.
Harry went to pick up the next letter which appeared to be his father's who's cloak he got at Christmas time which made Harry suspicious of who gave it to him that day and a twinkly eyed meddler came to mind but he put those thoughts away at the moment to think of later as he was taking out the letter from inside the envelope which read:
Hey Prongslet,
It's your dad James 'Prongs' Potter and I am writing this to tell you that if we are dead then you are to go to your nearest family member and not your mothers horrible sister but your godfather Sirius 'Padfoot' Black or your uncle Remus 'Moony' Lupin if not then someone else on your mother's side and if you are wondering about the weird nicknames then let me tell you that you are the son and only heir of the Marauders which was a gang of friends that included me and my close friends who pulled off spectacular pranks and became Animagi which is the ability to turn into an animal which you have no doubt seen, If you have seen Professor Minerva 'Minnie' McGonagall then you know what I mean and I hope you have our special map that helps you around Hogwarts, if not simply raise your wand and say 'I solemnly swear that I need the map for no good' and it will appear before you and the password for opening it is 'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good' and to close it up say 'Mischief Managed' and for anything else that you may have questions about for The Marauders then go to the Marauder Vault, number 666 for books on the map and pranks to make.
I have one last thing to say and that is 'MEET SOME BIRDS AND MAKE SOME MISCHIEF' do it for your old dad plus it will help to give you some advice on who to choose for a special lady you may marry in the future and that is 'Potters go for brainy girls' hope that gives you some help on who to choose for whom to spend your life with cause it's why I picked your mum because she was brainy and brilliant and beautiful those are the three B's of Potter girls to pick for to you make the right decision for your life.
Your dad
James 'Prongs' Potter
Harry was emotional from this and a bit embarrassed about the girlfriend part and this kept making him think of a bushy haired brown eyed girl who made him blush also he was honoured that they wanted him to strive to be his best and promised to make his parents proud of him with his life and education.
Harry paused for a few moments to collect himself before he began to speak to Ragnock while placing the letters back in their envelopes to keep and read again later.
He soon asked the goblin "Could you read the will to me so that I can do the ritual test please?"
Of which the goblin replied saying "Yes Mr Potter we can, please follow me to the ritual room for the test as it was being made ready while you were reading and we can do the will there anyway as the ritual will be short"
Harry followed the goblin to the ritual room which was covered in strange symbols he could not read and made out of old grey stone and right in the centre there was a circle with a board hanging in front of it to which Ragnock answered his question about it after seeing Harry's enquiring and confused expression.
"The circle is where you stand and drop some blood inside for it to work and the board splits the information into categories like heir status, magical abilities and anything else linking to you but first lets read the will."
Which was given to Harry and what he read was...:
