Chapter 5 Harry meets Lady Black and learns more

28th December 1997, account manager office from the Potters and Black, Gringotts

Harry was confused if Dumbledore knew then everything Sirius said made even more sense. Harry would get his head around it 'why would Dumbledore not help Sirius and why did he want me to return to the Dursleys every summer.'

Harry was still confused a few minutes later when there was a knock on the door. When the door opens, he sees a goblin open the door and immediately close it. The goblin walks towards Bonecrusher and says something in Gobbledegook.

Bonecrusher gave a crooked smile. Harry didn't notice as he was still thinking about everything he learned today until now. Bonecrusher replied in Gobbledegook and the Goblin bows and leaves.

Bonecrusher was ordered by the king of the Goblin Nation to give Harry Potter all the time he needed even though time was money. The door at the side of the room opened and 6 goblins with more armour than the other guards stepped in and parted to let another goblin enter. Harry stood up feeling it was the right thing to do. After the goblin, there were 6 other guards just as much armour as the first 6 guards.

Account manager Bonecrusher stood up and bowed before the other goblin. Harry didn't know what to do but when the goblin took the seat Bonecrusher had before. The goblin said something in Gobbledegook and a goblin came in with another chair for Bonecrusher. It was clear that the new goblin was important especially because the new chair wasn't as high, big or comfortable as the other chair.

Harry wanted to say something but the new goblin put up his hand and Harry decided to not say something. The goblin looked through the documents Bonecrusher would talk with Harry about after the will.

The goblin was done and said "welcome Heir Potter. I was expecting you a couple of years ago or at least account manager Bonecrusher was."

Harry replied "I am sorry, but my magical guardian at that time headmaster Dumbledore never told me of anything. I just recently found out that I was the heir of my godfather Sirius Black."

The goblin said something in Gobbledegook to Bonecrusher and he answered. The goblin's face turned and Harry noticed it was anger. The goblin faced Harry again and Harry hoped that the goblin wasn't mad at him. The goblin said, "I understand that Dumbledore acted as your magical guardian while he wasn't one of the choices of your parents, is that correct Heir Potter?"

Harry replied "please call me Harry and that is correct. Would it be disrespectful if I ask who you are?"

Three of the guards wanted to move and Harry was ready to run for his life when the goblin hold up his hand and the guards stopped. Harry wasn't sure if this was good and kept his guard up and like mad eye always said constant vigilance.

The goblin looked at Bonecrusher said something and shook his head. The goblin had a smile at least Harry thought it was a smile.

The goblin said "normally it would He- Harry but I understand that Bonecrusher wasn't there yet. I would have met you here with account manager Bonecrusher if I knew of your arrival or when you had shown your face real face in the hall but I understand that the Ministry of Magic is looking for you as undesirable number one. I am King Ragnok from the Goblin Nation although some call me High King because of all the different tribes in the Goblin Nation."

Harry quickly bowed a bit and said: "I am very sorry that I didn't know you King Ragnok."

Ragnok said "no worries Heir Potter, you can call me Ragnok when we are alone or if only people your trust and Bonecrusher are present. You don't have to worry about the guards they would never tell anybody about it. They can never reveal what happened in these chambers and especially not of one of the wizards or witches we hold in high regard as we do with your family Harry."

Harry remained standing up and most goblins wondered why. Ragnok was one of them until he gave the motion that he would give his people to take a seat. He was surprised when Harry took a seat after the gesture. Ragnok liked all Potters before Harry and he was happy that Harry was like the other Potters even if he wasn't raised by Potters. Ragnok also likes Sirius Black but would never admit that he liked him.

Ragnok decided to continue, he would normally not talk with wizards but the Potter and Blacks family (when Orion became Lord) were the exception but that didn't mean he would be here every time, but today Hei- Harry would take his lordships.

Ragnok said, "are there any questions after you read your parent's last will?"

Harry said, "is everything that was stated in the will fulfilled?"

Ragnok says "unfortunately not, the old Chief Warlock sealed it and only he, you, your spouse or children or I in extreme coincidences could open it, but only Chief Warlock, your magical guardian or you when you reached majority (or was emancipation) could make sure that every gift your parents left could be fulfilled. There were two additional gifts given by your parents to people who were not in the will but were sent in later and Sirius Black was the witness."

Ragnok looked through the document and said: "ah here they are."

Ragnok handed the documents to Harry and Harry read

I, James Charles Potter and I, Lily Rose Potter néé Evans leave Hagrid three books about magical creatures and their care that is in the family vault and learn them to Harry if Harry wants to, it is valuable information and 25.000 to buy land and if you want to make it a breeding ground for various creatures or something similar if you want.

We also leave all rare plants and seeds that the Longbottoms didn't want or could grow to professor Sprout, head of Hufflepuff house and Herbology professor. I know Sirius and I didn't always take it seriously (shut up Sirius) but you were a very good teacher and it helped us with potion making and Auror/hit-wizard training. Like my dolt of a husband said thank you, professor, we wanted to do it in the original will but headmaster Dumbledore said you wouldn't want anything. Yesterday we decided to include you with the ability to decline this gift, but only you could decline nobody else, we also give you 25.000 galleons to do as you wish.

The last thing we want to want to do is to give all our Professors 5.000 galleons as thanks (except Slughorn and Dumbledore) JAMES DON'T. Oh, please Lily you know why. Fine.

I want to say to all Lords and Ladies don't forget what I said about family members, what you do with it is your choice. Gringotts will send apologies to every one of the Great Alliance when would want to gift you but we don't want to expose you to pfff … you-know-who. Also, my apologies to Lord Li, Lord Patil and Lord Davies, we never got the chance to talk about entering like with Lord Greengrass while we both thought all of you were more than welcome.

Ragnok the last paragraph will only be seen to the members of the Great Alliance and the one named in the paragraph and Harry (and Sirius Black).

We already want to thank Gringotts for this. When our will is read Gringotts get 10.000 Galleons for thanking care of it. However, if this will be read after Harry's 15th birthday if he survived or after Sirius has a child, we demand compensation from the one responsible.

We also want to say again if you read this, we love you, Harry, with our whole hearts. Yes, dear what your father said but so much more and don't worry about what we left you, we thought about you and the family so at least try to let it work.

This will was witnessed by:

Sirius Orion Black (godfather for Harry James Potter)

Under Sirius's name were two seals. Harry asked "why are their seals under Sirius' name and not under the will? Also, who's seal are these?"

Ragnok answered, "because no Goblin was present for small wills or things you want to add later lord of the most ancient and most noble house could for a fee send Gringotts a letter signed with the witness and seal from the house that the will is and recommend if possible that the witness also place his or her house seal."

"The first seal is the house of Potter seal with clearly the house crest and the other one is the Black seal with the house crest to prove that this is legitimate. After the war, we extended the service to (most) ancient and (most) noble houses for a larger fee because the many pureblood and half-blood families were attacked and killed."

Harry handed it back but was confused about the last sentence his mother wrote and he had a feeling he wasn't going to like it. Ragnok asked, "Heir Potter do you wish to take up the lordship for the most ancient and most noble house of Potter?"

Harry nodded and Ragnok opened a drawer and grabbed a large box out of one of the desk drawers. Ragnok opened it and Harry saw 6 rings. Ragnok said "this is the potter's rings. In old times it was normal for Lord to have multiple wives and in Great Britain, it isn't common but for small families like yours Harry it is common to marry more than one wife for the Potters it is, of course, your own choice it most cases unless a marriage contract is involved. The ring on your left side is the lord ring and shows that you're the head of House Potter."

Harry grabbed it and liked the design but before he got a chance to put it on Ragnok asked: "do you want to know the other five rings?"

Harry was curious and nodded his head. Ragnok smiled 'he had someone he could tell what most pureblood heirs already knew, he was almost happy that James and Lily Potter died before their time, almost.'

Ragnok pointed at the second ring from the left side and said "that is the Lady Potter ring normally worn by your wife or if you were a girl, the next one to that one if a wife ring if you decided to get a second wife then next one is also a wife ring as you can see it is the same as is the next one. We could make more if necessary, as all the rings here are goblin made."

"The next ring is something that was normal in the old times. If the Lord of House got an heir that was of age the oldest Lord would get that ring to show he was the Lord of the house but he deemed his Heir worthy should he die to take his place and the last ring was the ring you should have worn when your turned 14/ 15 or if your magical guardian found you were worthy before but not later then your 16th birthday (or after OWLS if that is sooner), the heir ring."

"I do want to add that Sirius Black wanted to give it to you when he came here a few days before Christmas 1993 but decided against it for if he got caught it would be lost. After that, he was here for his last will but didn't get it because he didn't trust Dumbledore. His Occlumency was weakened and was afraid Dumbledore would read his mind and take the ring and keep it from you or give it to you and tried to manipulate you because with the heir ring you get limited access to the family vault" Ragnok ended.

Ragnok said, "if you sign this all gifts in the will to the people that are still alive will be handled."

Harry took the parchment and the quill but said: "what went to Alice and Frank Longbottom I want to give it to their son Neville Longbottom, is that possible?"

Ragnok nodded and said, "that can be arranged." Ragnok snapped his finger and another parchment came in front of Harry.

Ragnok said "if you sign this Neville Longbottom will get the message that he is needed in Gringotts. Also, Madam Augusta Longbottom will get the message because Neville Longbottom didn't get his Lord ring and Madam Augusta Longbottom is Regent Longbottom. Heir Longbottom got the Heir ring after his fifth year almost one month before his sixteenth birthday."

Harry nodded and signed both parchments. After signing there was a knock on the door and Harry turned around and was shocked there was a goblin guard but that didn't shock him. He could hear Hermione and saw Su, Susan, and Daphne holding her back while Astoria was shaking her head with a big smile on her face.

The guard said something in Gobbledegook and Ragnok saw the commotion and tried his best not to smile. He never had this before at least not that other humans tried to stop another from doing something stupid. Ragnok also noticed Harry's scared face and knew that he just needed them to enter the room and let it play out if they were dangerous the guards will stop them from hurting Harry... too much.

Oh, how he loved the Potters and … the Black family it seems. Ragnok saw 'the betrothed ring for the house of Black on the youngest female in the group it was charmed to be invisible but in Gringotts most goblins could see through the invisibility charm that all lord and ladies' rings have. But he looked again and saw that the ring was visible to everyone it seems the youngest forgot that while she looked at the other females and unintentionally let the ring show' Ragnok thought when the youngest quickly put her hand over her ring and looked to the door and sees Harry and Ragnok.

Astoria said, "Sis, Susan, Su, and Hermione stop that, look."

The other girls stop and see Harry. Hermione wants to immediately walk to Harry but she got stopped and Daphne says "oh no, this is bad."

Hermione said, "why?"

Susan points and Ragnok and said "Hermione that is Ragnok the king of the Goblin Nation. You only see Ragnok when you are in big trouble."

Ragnok said something in Gobbledegook and the guards stand aside to show that they could enter. All the girls are now scared they did something wrong. Ragnok was disappointed and happy that the side of him scared them. Happy because the appearance of the king of the Goblin Nation should scare other races and disappointed because he wanted to see what would happen to Harry. It was almost as if it was James and Lily or Charles and Dorea.

Ragnok said, "do come in misses and Lady Black."

Harry was shocked 'one of them was Lady Black, but it couldn't be Hermione she would tell me, but then who. I hope that it isn't is Daphne or Astoria, sure Sirius's letter said that the girl liked me, but Daphne never liked me that I know almost certain as I remember how she looked at me and I never talked to Astoria and that was probably because she also doesn't like me or could be the house and year difference, but probably not. Susan was nice so I hope she is it or Su could probably also work.

The girls enter the room and Ragnok waved his hand and 5 chairs appeared behind Harry. Harry looked back at Ragnok and Ragnok gave a crooked smile because he saw the fear in Harry's eyes.

Ragnok said, "I would like to know who you all are and why you made such a noise outside of this room while we have an important meeting" while sounding mad and dangerous. Normally he would always be that but seeing Harry today made him nicer than he would normally be. He was also happy that until the females arrived Harry looked unhurt and determined, he knew from Filius Flitwick that Harry was strong and could probably win when he faced the dark lord. Seeing him unhurt after almost six months was a good sign.

Ragnok shook his head slightly realizing he missed the first two girls and said "could we start over something important came to mind" still sounding mad and dangerous.

The girls shuddered a bit and all try to hide after Harry but obviously couldn't. Hermione started again and said, "I am Hermione Jean Granger, muggleborn, seventh year Gryffindor and best friend of Harry Potter."

Ragnok nodded and Susan was next.

Susan said, "I am Susan Amelia Bones, pureblood and Heiress of the most ancient and most noble house Bones until I marry, seventh year Hufflepuff, my aunt was Amelia Bones and friend of Harry Potter."

Ragnok nodded again and Astoria was next but didn't say anything Ragnok wanted to know why. When Ragnok's eyes focused on Astoria she went closer to Harry.

Daphne tries to get Ragnok's attention and said: "I am Daphne Isabel Greengrass, pureblood and Heiress of the ancient and most noble house of Greengrass, seventh year Slytherin and classmate from Harry Potter."

Before Ragnok could say anything or nod Su continued.

Su said, "I am Su Ai Li, half-blood and Heiress of the noble house of Li, seventh year Ravenclaw and classmate and acquaintance from Harry Potter."

Ragnok nodded and said, "well that is everyone except the young female behind Ha- Lord Potter." Every girl looked at Harry's hand except Hermione who looked at Harry's face, but Harry tried to avoid everyone's look by looking at the ground near the desk.

Ragnok said with a dangerous and mad voice "enough looking, time is money now will the youngest female tell me who she is or not?"

Astoria shuddered again and went even closer to Harry without Harry noticing.

Ragnok was started to get really annoyed and really mad". "Well," Ragnok almost shouted.

Astoria got a hand on her shoulder from Daphne and Susan. Daphne nodded and mouthed it is time and Susan gripped her shoulder tighter to show her support.

Astoria stood up so Ragnok could look at her and said: "I am Astoria Ann Greengrass, pureblood and soon-to-be Lady Black, fifth-year Slytherin and betrothed to Harry Potter through a marriage contract between the house of Greengrass and House of Black."

Astoria looked at the ground afraid she sees rejection in Harry's eyes if he looks at her. Harry was almost fainting, the ice-princess was to become Lady Black, he never spoke to her. Sirius can't be serious no pun intended that the ice princess from Slytherin likes him.

Hermione didn't look shocked she had her suspicion after last night about how Astoria acted and answered the Luna's question with reluctance but still told Harry. Susan, Daphne, and Su weren't shocked at all so they knew Hermione noticed.

Astoria started to cry and she felt a pair of arms around her that she knew. It was her sister and she felt another pair of arms on the other side and see it was Susan. Harry was at a loss his soon-to-be Lady Black and he sat here almost fainting.

After a few minutes, Harry stood up and looked at Daphne who looked with poison in her eyes and Susan who looked with a look that Harry knew from Hermione a look that he should be ashamed for waiting so long.

Susan let go. Daphne didn't want to but Su whispered in Daphne's ear "let go, let Harry try to make it alright. I know you want to but only Harry can do it right now."

Daphne reluctantly let go. Astoria was crying harder when she didn't feel arms around her anymore, but the next moment, she felt arms that she didn't know and she felt the arms pull her with him.

Harry had Astoria in his arms and took his seat back and pulled Astoria to his lap. Harry whispered in Astoria's ear "shhh it is alright. I am not the best husband that you deserve but if you will let me try to be, I think we can have a happy marriage. I think we just need to get to know each other and that we could be happy."

Astoria stopped crying and was sobbing when she buried her head against Harry's chest. Nobody saw it but she was blushing feeling Harry's muscles through his robes. Nobody saw the look of hurt that Hermione had, she was confused a Slytherin that is supposed to hate Gryffindor was sitting in Harry's lap while a Gryffindor (she) who loves him didn't do it, yet she hoped.

She looked away from Harry and Astoria. Something Susan and Daphne did notice and gave each other a knowing smile. Knowing that they needed to talk to her about it without scaring her and Susan needed to tell Daphne was Su meant when she said that Hermione's Patronus changed while Hermione denied it.

"I don't want to break this up but Lord Potter you need to sign these documents that you accept all the things that your parents left you and t-" Ragnok said.

Harry signed it and put on the ring he still had in his hand before Ragnok was finished talking. The ring immediately resized to fit his right ring finger. Susan giggled and Daphne had her face to her head and said: "Potter always let the goblin finish especially the goblin king."

Astoria said "no it is Harry" lifting her head before immediately burying her head against his chest again.

Daphne thought 'oh NO not again, it is Harry, not Potter, it is Harry.' Daphne was ashamed she again said Potter instead of Harry. She always said Potter in the Slytherin common room but Harry when she was alone with Tracey in the dorm room or when she was home in her room or only Astoria was there but as soon as someone else was nearby Harry turned into Potter. 'I need to say Harry otherwise the next thing was going to be painful for me' Daphne thought.

Su was the only one that could ask "King Ragnok do you mean Har- Lord Potter isn't in trouble?"

Ragnok said "no way, why would he be? The only thing is he is kind of late here but as I understand that is not his problem as he didn't know before."

Su said, "with all due respect King Ragnok but then why are you here?"

Ragnok said "the Potter family has always been respectful towards us and the Goblin Nation. We are happy to see that the new Lord Potter is no different and if needed I will handle some things myself like seeing the heir become the Lord for day to day business account Bonecrusher will do things. Recently the Black family gained it when Sirius Black told us Harry Potter was his heir so the Black Family became just as important as the Potter family only a little lower in our standing because the Potters have been for centuries even my forefathers saw the Potters as an important and respectful family."

Su just nodded and said nothing.

Ragnok asked a question he already knew the answer but he needed to be sure "I guess Lord Potter didn't know that Miss Greengrass would be Lady Black."

Harry said, "no I didn't and I guess it is unbreakable like most."

Astoria started crying again and Harry whispered in her ear "shhh I don't want to break it I just want to give you a chance to not marry me if you want."

Ragnok said "we will see that in a few minutes, we first need to finish the house Potter business. Lord Potter do you want the girls to leave?"

Harry was thinking he could trust Hermione and probably Susan. Astoria wasn't going to let him go soon it seems and she should probably know as she becomes Lady Black.

Su said, "Harry I understand if you want us to go but please trust us this once, do you think the house and Astoria would let us enter if we have bad intentions towards you?"

Harry thought 'Su has a point' and looked at Hermione. He was shocked when he saw the look on Hermione's face, she looks angry and hurt what he remembered from his third year.

Hermione took a breath and said, "I think they should stay Harry, Su got a point."

Harry said, "okay they could stay."

Ragnok nodded and looked through the documents the Potter family had that were important and saw two letters for Harry. Ragnok said "Harry I got two letters for you both are from your parents, but you can better read them when you are done because we got much to do and little time because of all the interruptions.

Harry just nodded and grabbed the letters and want to put them in his pocket but Hermione grabbed them out of his hand and put them in her bag that has an undetectable expansion charm.

Harry nodded thanks but Hermione just went back to her chair to sit.

Ragnok grabbed a document and said "this one is important Lord Potter, 7 generations ago the house of Weasley created a debt that they couldn't pay. Because they only had a son at the time and house Potter didn't have a daughter, the house of Potter obtained the house of Weasley wizengamot seat and the Weasley Lord ring. For the house of Weasley to obtain their seat and Lord ring back, the house of Weasley offered their future daughter in a hand of marriage with the heir Potter or Lord Potter in which they would get their seat and lord ring back until this generation however they didn't have a daughter."

Daphne said, "don't say, anything Potter."

Harry closed his mouth and Daphne said: "I guess there is no other way?"

Ragnok said "no Heiress Greengrass."

Daphne thought 'oh no not again' and said "Po- Harry if you give back the ring and seat without honouring the contract it will be seen of great shame for the Weasleys because you find the Weasley girl Ginny not attractive enough to become your Lady Potter. But you do find her attractive enough right?"

Harry nodded and Harry opened his mouth but Susan this time said: "If Ginny doesn't mind, I think it will help you to still marry Ginny and help the Weasley get back their vote in the wizengamot."

Ragnok said "there is one small problem there are two contracts for the daughter of house Weasley both for house Potter. Fortunately, neither your father nor Arthur Weasley has finished the contract so you can annul it without any consequences unless shame if it comes out. The other is however unbreakable and needs to be completed as soon as it is possible like now."

Harry thought 'is this hell or purgatory? I already got one wife that needs to marry me and now Ginny needs to even if I didn't want to give Arthur his ring and his seat back not that I don't want to. Not to mention Ginny will have to share me with Astoria, can this become any worse?'

Ragnok said, "there are also some other marriage contracts we need to address."

Harry groaned and thought 'me and my big mouth.'

Ragnok holds a few documents and said: "a signed marriage contract is the marriage between Harry James Potter and Susan Amelia Bones signed by both parents."

Harry looked shocked and Susan. Susan blushed and said, "don't worry Harry I don't become Lady Potter, but you do become Lord Bones because I go for the line continuation option because I am the last of my family."

Harry thought 'bloody hell.'

"The next one is a signed marriage contract between Harry James Potter and Daphne Isabell Greengrass signed by Sirius Black as Harry James Potter's guardian and the parents from Miss Greengrass."

Daphne smiled creepily and Harry thought 'where is Tom when I need him.'

Daphne said "it is the same for me as it is for Susan except that my family still lives. Sorry, Susan."

Susan said "no problem Daphne."

Ragnok said "the last one is not signed. The marriage contract is signed by your godfather Sirius Black…"

Harry groaned while thinking 'PADFOOT, YOU MUTT.'

Ragnok continued "and the mother. Unfortunately, the mother died and the father didn't sign it and because the father still lives the contract isn't active. The marriage contract is between Harry James Potter and Luna Selene Lovegood."

Harry was shocked 'Luna?'

Hermione was very angry now. Luna said she was interested but wasn't sure yet and now there is a marriage contract before they talked. Luna lied, how could she, she is my best friend besides Ginny.

Hermione stood up and screamed "why can everyone marry Harry but me? I know I am a know-it-all, bossy, beaver face, bushy-haired, insane mudblood but I got good qualities too, right. How can a Slytherin marry Harry and not me, a Gryffindor and why a Hufflepuff. If this goes on Su also marries Harry. I love Harry more than all of you together."

Su said, "well actually…."

Hermione screamed out "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH."

Hermione was crying now and Susan hugged Hermione. Daphne grabbed Astoria from Harry's lap and Susan leads Hermione to Harry without Hermione noticing. Harry wanted to stand up but Su grabbed his shoulder and shook her head meaning for him to stay seated.

After a few seconds, Hermione was pushed on Harry's lap and without warning, Hermione kissed Harry like a boyfriend kisses a girlfriend. Neither Harry nor Hermione noticed the light that appeared when they kissed. After the light faded the kiss ended. Harry had a goofy face as did Hermione but after a few seconds, Hermione jumps off Harry and screamed before passing out on the ground.

All the girls decided with a look that they could talk about the light later and Ragnok noticed it and understand what the girls were saying. Ragnok decided that it need to wait for now maybe at the end of the meeting but there was much to do and little time left.

Ragnok immediately send a guard out of the door and within two minutes three healers return and said something in Gobbledegook and said: "Lord Potter can they take Miss Granger to run some test to see what is wrong?"

Harry said, "I need to go with her."

Susan said, "no Harry you need to do more things for house Black, right?"

Harry nodded and Susan said, "I go with them if you want me to."

Harry said, "if you could I would be very grateful."

Susan just nodded and Harry turned back to Ragnok "yes but please let me know what is wrong as soon as you know."

Ragnok nodded and said something in Gobbledegook and the healers nodded before taking Hermione immediately followed by Susan.

Ragnok said "no worries Har- Lord Potter my healers will find out what is wrong and will heal her."

Harry said "thank you Ragnok and you can call me Harry. I mean Astoria is going to marry me, Daphne, too and Su hinted at it right?"

Su said "house Black."

Harry said 'I guessed as much when you said actually."

Astoria let go of Daphne and was within the second again on Harry's lap. Daphne said "Harry would you marry Hermione if she loves you as she said?"

Harry said "I don't know I thought she loves Ron and she will need to share with me. Polygamy isn't legal in the muggle world and I think she won't like it because she already found many traditions barbaric and this will not help, but if Hermione is okay with it and not in love with Ron or anyone else I would happily marry her because I think I got more feelings for her during the last few months, especially the last few days after Ron left."

Astoria said in Harry's chest loud enough for everyone to hear "I don't mind if she becomes a sister-wife, Harry. Just as long as you treat us all equal you will, right?"

Harry looked down at Astoria even though he couldn't see her face, he said: "I will try my best to try to treat you all equal and spend one on one time with everyone, especially the ones I don't know to get to know them better."

Daphne narrowed her eyes after Harry's story about his feelings for Hermione and what he knew from Hermione's feelings for Ron. Daphne used her Slytherin mind, what could have changed? She needed to talk to Su about what she meant about the changed Patronus. Daphne wondered why they could even do a Patronus?

Most NEWT student can barely cast a non-corporeal one but it seems Hermione have a corporeal as she has seen but it was unheard of that they could cast it during their fifth year. Was the story she heard about Harry right that he can cast a powerful Patronus but in his third year? That can't be true? Right?

Daphne shook her head, she needed to focus on Hermione and the thing Su said and Hermione denied nothing more. The whole Patronus story can wait for another time. Hermione's well being was more important what shocked Daphne even more than Hermione's actual fainting. Daphne never cared for any else except Tracey and her family as she did for Hermione suddenly.

Well, she did start to care about more people when she learned she was betrothed to Harry Potter. She started to care about Harry more than even Tracey and Harry's friends as long as they weren't a threat to his heart and love. She started to care about the ones that were a threat in her eyes in the first few weeks she stayed at Grimmauld place with all the girls. She is even afraid of Pansy, Lily (Moon) and Millicent, the other girls in her year in Slytherin while she never really liked them.

Ragnok handed the last documents and said "Harry this is everything that you own including vaults, money in the vaults, properties, jewellery and anything else of value. Normally I will discuss it with you but we don't have the time right now, I would like to continue to house Black business if that is alright with you?"

Harry just nodded and grabbed the document and this time Daphne grabbed it and put it in her bag probably with the same charms as Hermione has.

Ragnok looked into a desk drawer and pulled out a stack of documents although not as high as the Potter stack was. Harry thought 'hopefully this means no more marriage contracts than with Su.'

Ragnok also grabbed out a box that looked like the box with all the Potter's rings. Ragnok said, "in this are all the rings just like the Potters have in the same order."

Ragnok opened in and Harry saw 6 rings and grabbed the left one. When he put the ring also on his right ring finger before the ring resized. Harry saw the two rings become one and looks confused at Ragnok.

Ragnok said, "Harry when you were two or more lord rings then the ring will meld together showing both crests, but if you need a specific ring, you just need to think about it and that ring will show."

Harry thought about the Potter ring and he sees it is the Potter ring with no sign of the Black ring. Ragnok continued "you can also make the ring(s) invisible to hide it."

Harry nodded and turned the ring back to the Potter and Black ring. He focussed on Ragnok. Ragnok said, "do you want to read Sirius Black's will?"

Harry nodded and grabbed the document containing Sirius's will. He read

This is the last will

of

Sirius Orion Black, Lord of the most ancient and most noble house of Black …
