During the meeting, many things are brought to the forefront leaving Harry feeling broken and betrayed. "Savior of the Wizarding World...Hah! Nothing more than a naïve boy."

After spending a couple more seconds staring at himself in the mirror, he turned to the Goblin Healer and asked to be escorted back into Ripscale's office. His voice had changed, too. It was soft, yet gravelly-velvet and darkness. He saw the Goblin give a slight shiver, before directing him to follow her. When they got to the office, Harry turned towards each Goblin and bowed. "Thank you for the help." He then turned towards both Luna and Neville, who were staring at their tests in open shock. "What's wrong, Little Moon and Nev?" He seemed to have shocked them, as they jumped out of their seats.
"Bloody Hell, Harry! Don't scare us!" Neville said, with a hand pressed against his racing heart. While Luna simply giggled and walked towards him, to hand him the parchments in her hand.

Harry could feel his anger boiling beneath the surface, but he forced himself to remain calm. THere was no time to be throwing a fit. His other soulmate-that was still a weird thought-still had his parchments. He sighed and gripped Luna into a tight embrace. Not letting her go until he could relax.
Luna had gasped at the tight hug at first, and then her body quickly melded to his. Her hand ran through his soft, silky raven curls. She felt his arms begin to loosen and when she looked up into his eyes she saw a fury there, that she'd never seen before. "Luna, I'm sorry."
And then Neville was beside them. He was looking a bit awkward, but his arm was on Harry's shoulder and the other hand was holding out his parchments.

As Harry began reading what was said on the parchment, several things occured. Harry growled continnuously, his magic began flying off him in waves, and then it all just stopped. It was an eerie silence. Like a calm before the storm. "You both will go get yourselves cleansed." Harry said in a tine that broke any arguments they may have wanted to start. They quickly nodded their heads and left with the Goblin Healer.
'Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore...I wish I could tear you to pieces!' Harry thoutght as he started to shake in anger, 'I seriously need to get my anger under control. I cannot explode right now. I have important things to discuss with the Goblin King.' As he was thinging, he was breathing in a way that started to relax him. Harry finally opened his eyes, and was shocked to see the damage done to the office.
He raised his hand and waved it, silently thinking of fixing and repairing all the damage. And to his shock, and the Goblins' awe, the office was back to how it was before all the secrets were laid out. Harry heard a throat clear itself from behind him. "Well Mr. Potter, you certainly do know how to create a stir." King Ragnok said, and Harry turned and gave a sheepish smile.
"My apologies, King Ragnok. I didn't even know this was happening. Makes me wonder what else Dumbledore did with my family name, and other such things."
Ripscale, at this point, stood up and moved towards his filing cabinets near the back wall. When he opened the draw he immediately pulled out files filled with parchments, as well as a black ornate box. When he returned to his seat, he smirked. "Mr. Potter, this box contains your Headship rings. If they accept you, you are the Lord of the House. Once you are the Lord of the House, we may proceed to the Vault Transactions."
As the box was set in front of Harry, he felt the overwhelming need to open it and wear the rings. 'Compulsions...' he frowned but did as it asked. He lifted the Potter, Black, and Evans rings from the box first. Placing them on his left ring finger, and sighing as he felt the magic crash through himself. His mind filling with information of those three houses; their histories, their magics, their Ancestral Homes. Then he picked up the three Founders Rings and placed them on his right ring finger, they glowed for a minute before accepting him and overriding his mind with all their information-same as the first three. The rings combined themselves into one, and all he had to do was call forth one. He finally placed the last two on his right ring finger, and went through the same process as the other 6 rings. Finally when the box was empty of all rings, a crown appeared. It wasn't elaborate like most crowns, but it held a simple elegance that proved it's own power and significance. He reached out for the crown, and as his fingers closed around it, it felt as if it was judging his magic, his soul.
Finally, it glowed a brilliant shade of white, and Harry was able to place the crown properly on his head. "Very well, Prince Hadrian Potter-Black, Lord Potter-Black-Evans-Gryffindor-Ravenclaw-Slytherin-Peverell-Le Fay."
"Well, that's certainly a mouthful." said a whimsical voice behind Harry. He knew it was his Luna. Meaning his Luna, and possibly his Neville, were finally done with their cleansings. Without a second thought, his body was hurtling towards his Little Moon and Warrior. "My Lord, you look stunning. Regal and poise, as ever." She complimented him, with a curtsy.
"Oh, my Little Moon." Harry said, as his eyes raked over her body. He noticed the changes. Her hair, once a pale white-blonde, was now a silvery blonde. Her eyes were more rounded and had a violet hue to the dark blue orbs. Gone was the dreamy look, and in its place was that of clear certainty and determination. Her height had increased by several inches, making her stand at 5 foot 7 inches. Her chest was curvier than before, as well as her hip area. There was well-defined muscles running up her arms. "You look equally as magnificent."
"I have to agree with you there, mate," the voice was Neville's just deeper, and it washed over Harry. The dark undertones of his voice showing just how angry he was. But Harry's breath caught in his throat as his eyes shifted and roamed over Neville. Neville was a few inches shorter than Harry, but he was stockier. He had more muscle and a strong jawline. His eyes, which had been dark brown, were now a shocking turquoise color. They stood out against his tanned skin, and dark hair. His hair, which had been short and light brown, was now dark brown nearly black streaked with a light blond color. "Little Moon, is equivovably the best looking of us all."
Harry stifled the shiver that wanted to run up his back as Neville moved towards them, out of the walk way. "Of course, my Warrior. She is magnificent. But you hold a different kind of beauty." Harry's hand came up and carressed Neville's cheek. "Now, let's begin with the other business. Yes?" Harry moved back tot his seat, swiftly yet gracefully. While the other two, made their way back to those seats.
"Young Prince, we are glad to announce that the only account of yours that has been having any major activity is your Potter Vaults. We will discuss that after we go over the Vaults, and anything else." Ripscale said as he laid out the nine family account ledgers, each with their family crest on top. Harry picked up the ledger sheet, and with his two companions began reading the parchment.
Harry stared at the parchment, all forms of decorum gone, with his mouth wide open in shock. "Bloody HELL!" Neville twisted to face Harry, "You're rich! And that's without combining all of our families!" He looked just as shocked and then his face turned murderous. "Those fucking Weasleys! And Dumbledork, I'll tear them to shreds!"
Luna, whilst still radiating an air of violent anger, kept a calm stoic face as she whipped around and scoured the rest of the papers. Apparently, the last sheet showed the withdrawals that Dumbledore made throughout the years. "I'll do more than tear them to shreds, Neville." She said so calmly, that it even stalled the Goblin King, while everyone turned their eyes towards her. "If things go to plan, I'll personally describe my plan to you both. Now calm down." And her tone demanded them to try and argue. Dared them too...so they just shut their mouths and faced her. "Ripscale, please do me the pleasure of becoming the Account Manager for Lovegood, Bledwood, Longbottom, and Prewett. IT would be much appreciated. The two men will stay and sign the appropriate papers. King Ragnok, would you walk with me? I've got something I'd like to ask." The two got up and walked towards the door, the Gobling King holding it open for Luna.
While Luna and the Goblin King walked out of the door, Ripscale's eyes followed after them. "I have never seen the King so relaxed in the company of anyone. It's truly amazing." Harry, who had been watching Luna's backside as she walked grunted and then turned towards the Goblin. "I pray, you are ready for the extra paper?"
"If Luna says we must, I'm just going to go along with it, Ripscale. It's better not to question the Little Moon." Neville finally seemed to snap out of his daze and smirked as Harry continued, "No matter how tedious the work is..." Harry sighed as he finished talking, looking at the two stacks of paper that stood a foot into the air.
"Cheer up, mate. Things will be relaxed soon. We just need to finish up here, and then gather what we want and be on our way." Neville chuckled as he pulled the quill and a stack of papers to himself. Harry copied his movements, and spent several hours just signing, initializing, and giving access to each of his mates; while doing so for Luna's accounts as well. "Almost done, it's been hours. What do you think Luna and the Gobling King are talking about, Harry?"
Harry's head tilted, as his aching hand dropped to the table top, "They should be back shortly. But we know Luna. She won't tell us anything until her plan is in motion." He chuckles, "Perhaps she thinks that my bad luck-good luck penchant won't kick in if I haven't a clue what the plan is." He shrugs his shoulders and signs the last sheet with a flourish and a beaming smile. "No more paperwork, hopefully."
Ripscale chuckled at the two young men, seated in front of him. They were young to be warriors, but they were. And they didn't demand the respect some would. They did what they could for others, while maintaining the bond of respect for eachother. While waiting for the King and Luna , their Little Moon, to get back, they talked and asked questions about their lordships, and what it entailed. About thirty minutes after they finished, food and drinks were delivered as well as a note from the King. He and Luna were discussing their plan, before informing the others.
"So, you see, if you cut the bonds of an alliance-if they aren't particularly strong-the other side of the bond can choose a new alliance to profit themselves. This happened with the all of yo-" An hour later while Ripscale was discussing the alliance bonds, the door burst open with Luna bouncing into the room in obvious excitement; Meanwhile the Goblin King entered behind her, looking extremely amused and pleased. "Sir!" the goblin behind the desk jumped up and bowed quickly, while the other two humans bowed as well. The King waved them off with a smile.
'Their smiles are more terrifying then their glares..' Harry thought as he stood straight up and walked directly over to Luna, pulling her into a hug. All his worry draining, as he held her. "What's got you so hyper, Little Moon? You didn't eat any puddding have you?" He asked with a chuckle.
Luna's lower lip jutted out as she pouted at him, and while his eyes were distracted at the sight, she smirked and said, "No, Harry. I haven't ate any pudding. We finally have a plan. And I think you'll really enjoy it." She bounced around him and then sat in his seat. He turned towards her and smirked.
"What do you mean, my Little Moon?" He purred the last part of the sentence, and sat in the chair between Neville and her. He watched as Neville and Luna both shivered in arousal, if what his scent was picking up from the two. "King Ragnok, what's my brilliant Little Moon been concocting with you?" He smirked, as the shivers got worse for the two.
The Goblin King had to clear his throat before replying, "Well, you see Prince Hadrian, we were simply thinking of sending you back in time. We don't know how far, but we figured you all would like to keep your titles, as well as your aged bodies. So, we can send you to whenever you all think it would be better."
Harry's eyes narrowed slightly, "What's the catch, King Ragnok? Will we be able to clear out the accounts here, and place them into one, when we travel back? Will anyone remember us? Just what does this entail?" Harry's hand immediately went to Luna, and the other to Neville, ensuring that they were actually safe.
Ripscale suddenly felt proud of this wizard. He was asking all the right questions, while ensuring his mates were safely beside him. He turned to stare at his King, and watched as he fidgeted slightly. "Well, you see. I want you, and yours, to start getting Goblins and MAgical Creatures more recognition. If you go back to before your grandparents died, Prince Hadrian, you'd be able to work with the then Lord Potter. You wouldn't be able to claim that title, nor that of Black-unless you contacted Arcturus as well, but the others are yours. You'll need allies while there, so maybe inviting your families into the secret you'll be holding onto will help out. Yes, you can do that. We would be able to make sure at least two goblins, would know who you three were." He stopped talking and stared at the Prince, with apprehensive hope. I could understand why he felt that way. "You may take who you feel is necessary, we know of your Godson, Young Prince. You may take him." Harry's eyes stared piercingly at the Goblin, and it felt as if his very being was being judged.
Harry felt a squeeze on both hands, letting him know they agreed. "I believe, that we have a deal, King Ragnok. I hope we do not regret this decision." Harry paused, looking at his Mates and thinking of his little godson. "I think that that would be the best decision we could make. I can put a stop to Dumbledore, and Voldemort, earlier." He sighed and pulled the Elder Wand out, he flicked his wrist and summoned his Patronus. "Andromeda, please pack Teddy's things, and bring him to me. I'll be in Ripscale's office, at Gringotts."
After sending off his Patronus, the group waited for a responding one, "Of course, thank you Harry." It disappeared, and then Harry turned towards the two Goblins and proceeded to question them about the procedure and where they will come to in the new time. Apparently, they will be dropped into the center of the Teller Hall on the day the choose to go back to. Which happened to December 18th, 1977, the last Christmas break before his parents and their friends graduated; as well as providing the escape the Lord and Lady Potter needed to avoid death.
Luna and Neville could see that Harry was grateful for this, because he didn't want to show up and tell his father and mother that he was their child and that if they trusted Dumbledore to protect them from Voldemort they'd die. They smiled at each other, and then gripped Harry's hands tighter.
They all whipped around to face the door as it was pushed open, their wands pointing at the person walking in holding a baby as well as a trunk. Harry lowered his arm and walked over to them, picking Teddy up into his arms. "Andromeda, I'm so very sorry that you have to deal with the loss of your husband, daughter, and son-in-law. Are you sure that you want me to take Teddy?" He looked at the strong woman, as she started to tremple. He moved teddy to one arm, and pulled the woman closer to him. "Shh...Andy, I know it's hard. You have to take care of yourself."
"Harry, oh you sweet little boy...your mum would be so proud of the man you have become. Please take care of that sweet bundle in your arms. I would be unfit to take care of the baby, it's been difficult this last week." She was crying as she spoke, and Harry felt his heart breal. His resolve solidified, and he pushed her hair from her face.
"Andromeda. You won't see us again. We are about ot do something that is going to change the world for the better." He smirked, and continued. "And not for Dumbledork's Greater Good but for the survival of Magic and freedoms. Teddy will be taken care of by me and my two mates, Luna and Neville. I just want you-" he was cut off by the weight of her body crashing into his side, gripping him tightly.
She kept muttering 'thank-you's' and 'you are to good for these wars, I'm thankful that you're going to change things' and of course the usual 'be carefuls', before she let him go, and turned to Teddy, who was still asleep in his arms. Looking more peaceful than Andromeda had seen him in months. "He's content and feels safe with you, Harry. Please, save whoever you can. But keep you and yours safe, as well, dear Raven." Harry smiled, his lopsided grin, at her before passing the bundle over to Luna.
"We will. You should be getting home, we have much business to attend to before we leave. I can't wait to see you again, Andromeda." Harry gave her a huge hug before he walked her to the door and shut it behind her. "Ready when you are, King Ragnok and Ripscale." The Young Prince said as he turned towards the two Goblins. Luna, who was humming to the sleeping child, walked and stood beside Harry; meanwhile Neville was shrinking the chests upon chests that had appeared in the corner of the room, before packing them all into the undetectable-expanded mokeskin pouch that Hermione had left with Harry. After getting all the damned miniature chests into the bag, he walked over and stood beside Luna. His arm across her shoulders, as Harry's arm slythered around her waist; His hand settling on her hip.
The Goblins looked on as the family of four took comfort in each other; the infant burrowing further into Luna's arms, the two men watching over their loved ones, the young woman, smiling at the baby and leaning into the arms of her mates. They truly were one cohesive unit. The world was in for a rude awakening. "Come, we'll walk to the ritual room. It'll feel uncomfortable at first, would you like to change into something different, before you are sent back?" King Ragnok's eyes glinted in malicious glee. They didn't need to guess into what, they already knew. He wanted them to show up, like the warriors they are. They nodded their heads before going into a bathroom, changing quickly; even putting Teddy in a baby set of armor.
Harry joked, "Would you like to bloody us up, too?" The King's eyes widened and a toothy grin spread across his face and Harry looked at his too eager face. Harry shivered at the look, but couldn't contain his own excitement.
"Luna, would it turn out badly if we went in, looking like we're fresh out of battle?" Neville, always the strategist, asked. When Luna shook her head, as she watched the child, Neville turned towards Harry. "I say, why not give these people a fright?" Harry gave a hearty chuckle.
The two Goblins, who looked like they were just given present early, looked at each other before King Ragnok spoke, "We could cause some injuries, and spill a little blood." His smirk grew malicious, "I cannot wait to watch what happens, and yes. We will be the two Goblins who'll remember who you four are. Do not fret." Harry's head bobbed once.
Suddenly, the two wizards and a witch-still carrying the child- were 'duelling' with two master Goblins. Letting some of the spells hit them. Some being absorbed into the armor, some bypassing the armor and injuring them. Luna kept a shield up some of the time, to make it seem as if the two men were protecting the female and child.
