Chapter 11

Public Wills Pt 2

Hearing the will made some suspicious of others in the room. Remus, Severus, Minerva, Andromeda and Nymphadora, those who knew that Harry was staying with the Dursleys, began to get suspicious of Albus. All, bar the Weasleys, Peter and Albus began to wonder why this never came out before now. Draco, who knew some of what had happened to Harry at the hands of the Dursleys, looked calm and composed, but on the inside, he was seething and imagining all the fun ways he could think of to torture and kill the Dursleys and Albus, because he knew enough to know it was Albus who had left Harry there.

Before anyone could recover from what happened, Griphook had James's will out and had tapped it with his claw.

I, James Charlus Potter, being of sound mind and body, do declare this my last will and testament.

To Sirius Orion Black, I leave my notes and pranks from the Marauders. I hope you use these well, and please teach Harry how to wreak havoc at Hogwarts.

To Remus John Lupin, I leave my personal book collection and a sum of five thousand galleons. Go and open your bookstore, Moony. And, for the love of Merlin, UPGRADE YOUR WARDROBE! Also, please help everyone take care of Harry. As much as I want a mini-Marauder, I also expect straight EE's at the very least from him.

To Severus Tobias Snape, I leave a sum of five thousand galleons. I was a complete and total ass to you, Severus, just because Lily gave you all of her attention, and just brushed me off. I deeply regret that now, seeing what it has done to you. I am sorry if I was not able to apologize to you in person, however, I suppose this will have to suffice. I also leave you the apothecary owned by the Noble and Most Ancient House of Potter in Knockturn Alley, should you wish to have it. I am sorry, Severus. Please forgive me.

To Draco Lucius Malfoy, I leave a year's worth of Hogwrats tuition in the hopes that you may become friends with my son, and help him through life if I am not able to be there.

To Pansy Rose Parkinson, I leave my hope that you will befriend your cousin, and be family to him.

To Peter Pettigrew, I leave these words: I know it was you.

To Albus Perceval Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, I leave these parting words: Go fuck yourself. Don't try to control Harry's life.

I hereby bequeath all of my other worldly possessions to my spouse, Lily Luna Potter nee Parkinson.

Should my spouse die before me, I bequeath all of my other worldly possessions to my son, Hadrian James Potter.

Should neither I nor my wife be able to care for Harry, custody should go to:

Sirius Orion Black, godfather

Bellatrix Druella Black, godmother

Remus John Lupin

Severus Tobias Snape

Lucius Abraxas Malfoy

Cassius Andrew Parkinson

Minerva McGonagall

Tom Marvolo Riddle

Should none of the above be able to care for my son, he should be adopted into a neutral wizarding family. Under no circumstances should Albus Perceval Wulfric Brian Dumbledore be able to obtain guardianship of Hadrian. Under no circumstances should Hadrian be able to meet Molly Rosaline Weasley nee Prewett or her family unless he it is of his own volition.

Here ends the last will and testament of James Charlus Potter. Harry, I love you.

People were now openly staring at Albus. They couldn't believe that he had violated the wills of his light icons. Albus had a smile on his face, and was shaking his head, saying that no, these will must be wrong, though his infamous twinkle was gone.

Draco was getting even more livid, the more he learned what had been done to Harry, and how his boyfriend's life had been fucked from the beginning by Albus. Draco was also mad that Albus had blatantly ignored the wills of a witch and wizard. Because witches and wizards grow to such an old age, and accumulate so much wealth over many generations, it is considered an offense to any House if their will is violated.

Lucius, though saddened and angered over what his lord had been put through, was also smiling inwardly. He knew that, due to an arcane law passed by the rich purebloods during the foundation of the Ministry, violating the will of a member of a House was punishable by twenty years in Azkaban, at least. Also, depending upon the size of the estate dealt with in the violated will, more could be added to the sentence, and, given the size of the Potter estate, Albus could be looking at up to seventy years.

Griphook once again had the next will out and had tapped it before anyone could utter a sound.

I, Sirius Orion Black, being of sound mind and body (shut up, Moony), do declare this my last will and testament.

To Remus John Lupin, I leave a sum of ten thousand galleons and the cottage on the coast that you love so much, for your furry little problem. Make your bookstore, Moony, and help Harry see the truth. Parting is such sweet sorrow…

At this, Remus's doubled over, clutching his head in pain. When he looked up, he noticed that Griphook had paused the will, and was grinning like a madman. Suddenly, as if flood gates had opened, all the memories he and Sirius had locked up flooded into his mind.

When James and Lily had died, they decided to Obliviate themselves in case Dumbledore might find out the truth of their leanings. Sirius and Remus had been acting as spies in the Order for Tom, and wanted to be safe in order to raise Harry. However, when Sirius had returned from Azkaban, he had been acting differently. Now that Remus remembered the Obliviate, he thought that maybe the Dementors had broken the shield in order to make Sirius remember more of his failures.

However, when they had Obliviated each other, they had put in a pass phrase, in case one died or remembered. If one of them was in mortal peril, or in need of immediate assistance, they would remember everything could say the phrase, "Parting is such sweet sorrow," and the other would remember everything and would be force-Apparated to the one who said the phrase.

Remus's eyes flashed amber as he looked at the Headmaster. He wanted so bad to kill the bastard, but he knew he couldn't…not yet, anyway. However, he was losing control of the wolf.

Just as he was about to leap up and attack Albus, he felt calming waves of magic wash over him, calming his wolf. As he tracked its source through scent, he noticed that is was coming from the seat next to Draco, though he couldn't smell anyone or anything sitting there.

Remus nodded slightly to Griphook to tell him to continue.

To Severus Tobias Snape, I leave ten thousand galleons and any ten potions tomes of your choice from the Black family vault. Open your apothecary, you can choose any store the Black family owns in Diagon or Knockturn Alley. I also leave you with my apologies for what we did to you in school. I hope you can forgive me, or at least not take out James's and my mistakes on Harry…

Severus was so shocked that Tom had to push his mouth closed.

To Draco Lucius Malfoy, I leave five hundred galleons and my books on male pregnancy. I know how you feel about him Draco. Tell him, you might be surprised by the result.

True to what Harry said, Draco was blushing furiously.

To Narcissa Lily Malfoy nee Black, I leave Walburga's jewelry. Please do something suitable with it.

Narcissa smirked. She knew exactly what Sirius wanted done with the jewelry of his dear, beloved (note the sarcasm) mother's jewelry.

To Tom Marvolo Riddle, I leave ten Dark Arts tomes of your choosing from the Black family vaults. I hope you can get over your jealousy towards Harry, but you will need to. You will find he is better than you think.

This time, Severus was pushing Tom's mouth closed.

To Rodolphus Rigel Lestrange, I leave Breaking Curses of the Mind with the Darkest Arts in hopes of you helping Harry's godmother with what Dumbledork did to her.

To Ronald Bilius Weasley, I leave one knut and these words: you really fucked up, dude. Harry is loyal to those he loves, but, once you betray his trust, you never get it back again.

Ron bristled at the obvious insult about his poverty. 'At least that situation will be rectified soon. Once we kill Potter, we can take all his money,' thought a smirking Ron.

To Hermione Jean Granger, I leave these words: I considered giving you free reign to look in the Black Family Library, but, I won't. You are as bad a Pettigrew, betraying your first true friend for money and books. Not everything you read is true.

'THAT DAMN BASTARD!' she thought. 'I am the ONLY person who deserves to read those books. So much knowledge, taken away from me, just for following orders. AND HE COMPARED ME TO THE RAT! I am NOTHING like that rat Pettigrew! How dare him! I am happy the bastard fell through the veil, traitor that he is.'

I hereby evict Albus Perceval Wulfric Brian Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix from Number 12 Grimmauld Place. This decision can only be overridden by Lord Black.

Andromeda Walburga Tonks nee Black, you are henceforth reinstated into the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black. Please help Nymphadora get her head out of Dumbeldick's ass.

I hereby name my godson, Hadrian James Potter, my heir. He shall receive the title Lord Black and the Black family vaults and estate. He is henceforth emancipated and shall be given all rights as those over the age of seventeen. I hereby name Remus John Lupin godfather of Hadrian. Even though it isn't necessary, I thought you might like it, Harry.

I would also like to make it known that I am innocent, the one who betrayed the Potters is Peter Pettigrew. Also, Dumbledore could have demanded I be tried, yet he knew I was innocent and allowed me to be put in Azkaban without a trial.

Here ends the last will and testament of Sirius Orion Black. I love you, Harry.

The will had brought tears, anger and hatred to everyone in the room. Some anger and hatred was directed at Harry and Sirius, and some at Albus.

When Griphook had put the wills away, Dumbledore walked up to the goblin. "I have a letter here, signed by Harry Potter, that says I am able to take control of his accounts for now," he said, the ever-present twinkle in his eyes.

Before Griphook could say anything, a voice rang through the room. "I do not remember signing any such thing, Albus."

Albus whirled around so fast that Harry was afraid he would get motion sickness. "Who's there?" he called.

"Oh, no one. Someone. I don't know. That is subjective. Do you still consider me a pawn? If you do, then no one. If you have learned, which I don't think you have, then someone…" he trailed off.

Albus's eyes were darting everywhere trying to find the source of the voice. He knew it couldn't be Harry, this voice was too deep.

Sighing, Harry decided to stop Albus's worrying and took off the amulet. He smirked when Hermione and Ron's eyes widened in recognition, and their mouths opened like a fish's.

Albus looked at the man, wondering who he was. "Who are you, my boy?"

Harry realized that Albus didn't recognize him from all of the changes he had gone through. 'I can use this,' he thought. He did some quick thinking, and took a leaf from someone else's book, and replied, "My name is Ethan Madriot.* Lord Potter has named me the representative of his account until he turns seventeen. Also, Mr. Dumbledore, it is my responsibility to inform you that you are no longer Lord Potter's magical guardian."

Albus turned to Griphook. "I must protest. I am Harry's magical guardian."

Harry replied that, actually, the wills said, quite specifically, that Albus was not supposed to have magical guardianship of Harry.

Albus looked surprised that someone had defied the defeater of Grindelwald, though anyone who looked at him could tell he was thinking of ways to get around this.

Harry then said, "Also, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger, I will be informing Lord Potter of your thoughts on the matter of Sirius's will. You two really must learn Occlumency…"

Hermione bristled at the insult to her Occlumency skills. "I will have you know that not even Professor Snape, a world-renowned Legilimens, can break my shields."

"Really? Getting through your shields was like cutting through paper with scissors. One of the easiest things I've ever done."

Just as Hermione was about to throw an insult right back at Harry, Griphook cleared his throat. "Now that the will readings are finished, I must ask everyone to vacate this room."

As everyone began filing out of the, room, Harry called, "Can I please speak with Mr. Lupin regarding Lord Potter?" Remus nodded and waited for everyone to leave, noting that only the Malfoys, Severus, and three people who looked suspiciously similar to Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange, and Tom Riddle stayed.

Harry used his connection to the mark to silently ask Lucius if it was alright to bring Remus with them to Malfoy Manor. Lucius nodded slightly.

"Mr. Lupin, if you would not mind, could you please accompany us to Malfoy Manor?" he asked.

Remus nodded, and they left for the Floo.


When they had entered the parlor that the Floo connected to, Harry launched himself at Remus and hugged the werewolf, grinning broadly.

Remus looked slightly taken aback that a stranger was hugging him. "Um, not trying to be rude, but why are you hugging me?"

Harry looked at Remus bemusedly, then remembered about his appearance change.

"I came into my inheritance-," was all he was able to get out before the werewolf pushed the air out of his lungs in a bone-crushing hug.


*Harry used Tom's anagram trick (TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE to I AM LORD VOLDEMORT) to change HADRIAN JAMES POTTER to ETHAN JASPER MADRIOT.

A/N: So, I hope this chapter was OK. I think it was OK, not my best, though not my worst. Let me know?

*looks at stars* Mars is bright tonight. Venus show the twins' store opening, Mercury says Albus will seek out Ethan (Harry's alias), and Saturn says that Harry will learn about his abilities (remember the list from Chapter 1?)

Review? If you don't, Draco might die…?
