Chapter 6 Sirius, you mutt and different hospital wing
28th December 1997, Account managers office for the Potters and Black accounts, Gringotts.
Harry nodded and turned the ring back to the Potter and Black ring. He focussed on Ragnok, who said, "Do you want to read the will of Sirius Black?"
Harry nodded and grabbed the document containing Sirius's will. He read
This is the last will & testament
of
Sirius Orion Black, Lord of the most ancient and most noble house of Black, the godfather of Harry James Potter and should be regent Potter.
I, Sirius Orion Black being of sound mind (shut up Moony!) and body and under no influence, and of my free will render all previous wills null and void before this day, 1st April 1996. I leave the following things to:
To Remus, my best friend and brother in all but blood, I leave you 50,000 Galleons and the love of your life, Dora Tonks. I have a marriage contract already signed, it only needs your signature Moony and if my Heir doesn't refuse, you will marry her, and I know my Heir won't mind if you both want it.
To Andromeda and Nymphadora Tonks (can't hex me now Dora), I leave you both 50,000 Galleons. I wish with my death that I could reinstate you into the Black family, but I could not, although I am sure that my heir would, you just need to ask him. I just ask you both to help the new Lord Black in any way he needs.
To Amelia Bones, I leave you 25,000 Galleons and the best wards money can buy from the Goblins, but my Heir needs to approve this and sign for it because they need to change the ministry wards and I cannot do that because of the false conviction against me. I have no doubt he would allow it and I think the goblins will have a very profitable meeting.
I give you all my love and you were the only woman who ever to have my heart. I know it is cheesy, but I am very sorry I couldn't give you a family of your own. It looks like fate brought us together before ripping us apart and did it a second time for fun after I escaped Azkaban. Just know that I never stopped loving you and if I could do it all over again, I would use my head and you, Susan, Harry and I would be a family, your family, my family. Who knows what would have happened?
To Susan Bones, I leave you 10,000 Galleons in a trust fund that so you can use for your school education and the whole trust fund will become available to you when you become Lady Bones or when you turn 21, whatever happens first. You think I don't know you and you're right, but I knew you when you were little. You played a few times with Harry when you were both babies and professor Lupin saw you as a responsible young woman when he taught you at Hogwarts with the same morals as your aunt that is why you deserve it. I am just very sorry that you and Harry didn't have a friendship like Harry's parents and your parents hoped.
To Professor Minerva McGonagall, I leave you 25,000 Galleons. I am sorry for every grey hair we (the marauders) gave you and for every time you caught us. You were our favourite teacher Minnie I need to say. I leave you our Animagus study if you promise to let Harry learn as soon as possible to be an Animagus. He wants it as a memory to his father and I am almost certain also as a memory to me, so that he never forgets us. Even though I know he never will.
To Professor Filius Flitwick, I leave you 25,000 Galleons and give you my own and Remus Lupins' charms that we were inventing. We never knew if they worked because they weren't completed and after my escape, we didn't have the time to work on them. I do need to say that you were one of the marauders' favourite teachers closely after Minnie of course.
I also leave 100,000 to Hogwarts to replace the brooms for first-years to practice on and give children with little or no money a chance to attend Hogwarts and 5,000 Galleons to be divided between the professors that have had to put up with me.
To Albus too many names Dumbledore I leave you . . . . . 30 sickles.
YOU MANIPULATIVE OLD BASTARD. IF I COULD STRANGLE YOU WITH YOUR OWN BEARD, I WOULD DO IT IMMEDIATELY. I always knew you had a secret agenda and I didn't know what it was but if I find out you were using Harry for anything that is bad or was bad for Harry, not even Merlin himself could save you and Death need to wait in line before he could claim you. The next great adventure will be a difficult one. The secrets you keep will people get killed, I'm afraid that I will be one of them and Harry but I will not let that happen if I can.
Don't forget Dumbledore that I know you let me rot in Azkaban and that will not be forgotten by me, Remus, Tonks, Harry and the house of Black. Beware. . . .
To Arthur Weasley, I leave you 30,000 Galleons for the times that you let Harry stay with you during the summer vacation when I was in my summer house in Azkaban. I also give you everything that I gathered from the muggle world including the instructions with one request, but I will leave that in a letter. I want to thank you again, but I am sorry for what you are going to find out.
To Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour, if you are married, I want to congratulate you if not what are you waiting for. I give you 25,000 Galleons, the deed to a cottage that you should already have if you are married and the Black house on the southeast coast of France with a private beach which I wanted to give you as a surprise after your honeymoon.
To Charlie Weasley, I leave you 12,500 Galleons and a book about all dragons that ever existed and their care. The new head of house Black can help you set up a dragon reserve in the Scottish mountains if you want to. I know Tonks was dying to introduce you to a friend of hers maybe she still can.
Fred and George Weasley, or is it Gred and Forge Weasley? I leave you 5,000 Galleons to invest in your store, take it as a gift from an old prankster. I also give you 1,000 Galleons to invest as your store as house Black just like my godson did. I leave both of you books that contain all the pranks the Marauders pulled including some unfished ones.
To Ronald Weasley, I leave you 30 sickles. Why you may ask? Harry might not have seen it, but I did. I saw it when we met, then in your fourth year and then this year. Harry almost needed to stun you when we first met because you didn't believe me about the rat, but Harry did, and Hermione stood by him. His fourth year; don't think I didn't know what you did by not believing Harry. That is not to even mention what he said and the things you called him and then came crawling back. Harry should have declined it or at least let you crawl, but he is too forgiving. Hermione, Neville, the twins, and Ginny stood by him (although Ginny from Halloween in Harry's fourth year and for not trusting me was unfortunate but understandable).
This last year was even worse he saved your dad and when Harry was sad and sulking during Christmas, Hermione and Ginny were worried, but you, you just said that's Harry, he will come back, he always does this and then you continued stuffing your face with food like you were starving when you had already eaten four plates of food. You were eating worse than a pig, let me tell you that. You must be happy that I have left you anything.
To Ginevra Weasley (sorry Ginny it is needed), I leave you 10,000 Galleons in a trust fund to pay for your education and there is a surprise in that trust vault, but you can't enter the vault until you have completed your education. There is another way to access it, but I will not tell you that. I leave you 100 galleons that you can use right now, with a tab for a few outfits with Madam Malkins like Remus. I know he (Harry) may not see it, he will just hang in there, but you may need to take the first step. However, you are not the only one, as there are a few others that also do, but you maybe need to share if you want that you will find happiness, I am sure. You know how he is.
To Hermione Granger, I leave you 10.000 Galleons in a trust fund that will pay for your education and you can enter the vault after you graduate from Hogwarts, I suspect you want mastery's in many different subjects. In your vault, there is also a surprise and the same conditions as in Ginny's case and I will also not tell you. I also give you all the books from the Black library for the fight against the dork lard if he is still causing havoc and otherwise to make sure no bad magic will happen again. I offer the same advice; he will see it but like I said to Ginny, you need to share otherwise it will not happen. I see the way you look, and I know it is illegal in the muggle world but not in our world, uncommon yes but in his case, it is almost required by law. You just need to accept it and your life will be full of happiness I am sure. You know how he is.
To Molly Weasley, I leave you 30 sickles, but I wanted to leave you nothing, but Harry wouldn't be happy about it so I thought that 30 sickles would symbolize it nicely (like with the others). Molly Weasley, you were invited to my house for your family's protection and you tried to run the house like it was your own which it was not. I am grateful for everything you have done for Harry, but he is not your son and if you keep doing this, he never will never be your son (in-law). I know I am not his father and never will be, but I do know what his parents would want. I also see Harry as my son and do what is best for him even if it is hard. At least Remus and I don't keep secrets from him.
I am grateful for trying to clean it but not in the way you did, it was still my house and sure didn't like the way you tried to push the couples together (Harry/ Ginny and Ron/ Hermione). IF THEY FIND LOVE, THEY SHOULD FIND IT BY THEMSELVES BUT THAT WASN'T ENOUGH FOR YOU AS YOU JUST NEEDED TO MEDDLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. GUESS WHAT YOU WILL FAIL IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED IT ALREADY.
Yes, I KNOW about all the potions, especially the love potions. I noticed it during Christmas, but I couldn't stop it then because they had eaten it before I could stop them. Same during Easter, but I did learn one thing. Harry was barely affected, and Ginny didn't change her views which meant that she really loved Harry. Hermione, however, did change; I saw how she tried to fight it, but I guess that Ron keeps feeding everyone potions every day during and after that Christmas. Harry was barely affected but even he couldn't fight it every day, sure he liked Ginny a lot and it could have grown but now I need to find some way to let Harry know that Ginny really loves him and Hermione for that matter. It is a wonder that neither Ginny nor Hermione are pregnant right now. I know Ron wasn't given any love potion, he wanted Hermione, but Hermione never loved him because she loved Harry.
Arthur, I am very sorry, but you need to know this. What you do as head of House Weasley is your choice, but I would get checked out by St. Mungo's for the chance Molly did something to you.
To Jacob and Isabel Greengrass, I leave you 30,000 Galleons to give 10,000 Galleons to each of your daughters and the other 10,000 Galleons are for you, but 5,000 Galleons is a gift the other 5,000 Galleons are to invest in your import business. The 5,000 is for 25% if that is not agreeable you will get 20,000 that will be divided over your daughters. Astoria Ann Greengrass and Daphne Isabel Greengrass, I give you a happy future with a man you will and can love.
To Narcissa Malfoy néé Black, did you think I'd forgotten about you, Cissy? I could never forget my favourite cousins. I wanted to leave you different things, but I can't because everything will go to the dork lard and our dear Lucy not to mention our little Lucy. However, if you ask the new Lord Black to dissolve your marriage, I am sure he would help you to annul the marriage. After that please help him with the political side of things as he hates that, and I leave you (after the annulment of the marriage) 25,000 Galleons. Just ask as I am sure the new Lord Black will grant it.
To Bellatrix Lestrange néé Black, I wanted to leave you different things like Cissy but Bella what happened with you? I guess the dork lard and those incestuous brothers did go too far. I am sorry I couldn't save you, but I know somewhere deep down there is still the cousin that I loved so much, I can feel it. Just like with Cissy I offer you 25,000 Galleons if you want your marriage annulled. Just ask the new Lord Black he will grant it and help him how you can.
To Draco Malfoy, I think you think 'why would I want to dissolve my mother and aunt's marriages?' I will tell you why because you are NOT my heir and further MORE I CAST DRACO MALFOY AND ALL OF HIS OFFSPRING out of house Black. You and your offspring will never be associated with house Black. That way you can never turn the house Black into a dark house again. The new Lord Black will make sure that the house Black will be a light House and bring proper power and prosperity to the house.
Now my last and most important bequeath.
To Harry James Potter I leave everything else that I have left including the ancestral house of house Black and Kreacher the house-elf. All the vaults, properties (including the second house on the France south-east coast), valuables and anything else will also go to my godson Harry James Potter including making him the new Lord Black and emancipating him to claim it.
For everyone (Draco Malfoy) that thinks you can fight this, guess what? You can't. Harry's grandmother was my beloved aunt Dorea Black and that means Harry has Black blood in him and is eligible for the new Lord Black, of course, he was already my Heir but that doesn't matter.
I now request everyone to leave the meeting except Harry James Potter, Hermione Granger, Ginevra Weasley, Narcissa Malfoy néé Black, Bellatrix Lestrange néé Black, Andromeda Tonks néé Black, Nymphadora Tonks, Remus Lupin, Amelia Bones, Susan Bones, Arthur Weasley, and both professors. If any of the above persons are not present, nobody else can take their place.
All that will happen now is considered a secret and cannot be spoken of without the express consent of my heir. If Harry is not here, I give consent to Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley.
To everyone that is here, I am sorry about everything that has happened, and I hope I died doing what I believed in and in protecting my godson. Harry, I am sorry, but everything is true that is said in my will as I believe otherwise the magic will render the will false. Don't trust Dumbledore and certainly not his pet death eater as I suspect that they are up to something, I am not sure what, but I am close to finding out.
Harry, I love you, never forget that, and I am very proud. Because of that, you are now emancipated by our law as your magical guardian I can do that in my last will and here it is. I, Sirius Orion Black emancipate Harry James Potter in a show of exceptional bravery and honour and allow him to become Lord Black and hereby give him the chance to become Lord Potter, Lord Peverell and anymore if there are due to him.
Everyone will get your bequests as soon as you leave this room, the keys for the vaults and everything else you have been left.
Remus looks at what is in front of you even if it isn't the always same. Harry, I know it is difficult but please see the love that is around you, it is everywhere if you just look and trust in love. Make sure that you give yourself lots of children and grandchildren to spoil.
Padfoot is signing off. Remus and Harry, I will wait for you together with Prongs and like Prongs will say his lily-flower (I will get hexed for that, but it will be so worth it). Just make sure that you will make it a very long time before we see you or I will hex you back to life.
Witnessed by
Remus Lupin (Family friend and second 'unofficial' godfather of Harry James Potter)
Goblin king Ragnok (requested by himself)
Account manager Bonecrusher (account manager of the Potters and Black)
Under the witnesses stood a writing by someone. The Heir Harry James Potter, Hermione Granger, all Weasleys, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Bellatrix Lestrange néé Black and professors McGonagall and Flitwick were not present, Albus Dumbledore tried to take everything for all persons called above to give it to them when the time was right. We, as the goblins of Gringotts, refused and needed to remove Dumbledore from the building. Lord Black expressly told the goblins to forbid anyone from taking things that weren't theirs, especially Dumbledore. Dumbledore wanted to take the heirs part, Hermione's Granger part including the books and all the Weasley's part including the trust vaults, investment, and tabs. Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks were given to Andromeda Tonks under protest from Albus Dumbledore but Andromeda Tonks had the right and signed papers. The message for Bellatrix Lestrange néé Black, Narcissa Malfoy néé Black said she would give it to her.
Harry was crying and Astoria was hugging him with Daphne on one side with her arms hanging over Harry's shoulders hugging him from the left side and Su was grabbing his right arm and pushing herself in it to provide comfort. In his left hand was the will. He grabbed the will tighter and put his arm around Astoria. He needed comfort and Astoria, Daphne and Su were here ready to comfort him.
After a few minutes Harry stopped crying and let go of Astoria, he put the will back on the desk before wiping his eyes. Ragnok understands it even though he saw it as a weakness. Ragnok grabbed a few other documents and said, "This is the statement with everything you own thanks to Lord Black's last will."
Harry tried to look at it, but Daphne grabbed it before Harry could look at it and put it in her bag. Harry looked at her and Daphne shook her head and glared at Harry. Harry shuddered a bit and looked quickly back at Ragnok. Ragnok could barely control a smile on his face.
Ragnok thought 'It is just like James and Lilly and Charles and Dorea just with more women it seems.'
Ragnok said "You also need to sign this to accept but there are two marriage contracts besides the one for Miss Astoria Greengrass. There is one from house Li suggesting a Wizengamot seat and gaining it and ... oh, this is interesting this one is recent with house Davies."
Daphne gasped 'House Davis but that meant Tracey. Why didn't she say anything?'
Harry, however, heard the word recent and said, "How recent?"
Ragnok looked again, saying "It seems that this contract was made 10th August 1995 and it seems that Lord Sirius made the offer and Lord Davies agreed."
Harry was thinking 'Sirius, if I could kill you again I would. Not Sirius, ha-ha.'
Harry continued thinking 'Ok, how many is that now? Astoria, Daphne respectfully the ice-princess and the ice-queen. That is two and then you got Susan, Su and Tracey maybe Hermione and Luna and hopefully Ginny that is eight women oh by Merlin's beard. Let's hope Peverell has no marriage contract or any else. I do wonder why there are so many girls in Grimmauld place though.'
There was a knock and Ragnok said "enter."
One of the goblin guards appeared and said something in Gobbledegook and Ragnok nodded. Ragnok said "Well Harry, it seems that your guests have arrived just a second ago with our portkey to our official portkey room. Normally the portkey would go to the meeting room but with the dark lord, we used this extra security. They are waiting outside would you like them to enter."
Harry nodded and said, "Yes and Ragnok I would like to thank you for using an eagle and the portkey."
Ragnok said, "I only did it as a courtesy and because you are an heir, or should I say Lord of two most ancient and most noble houses."
Ragnok nodded towards the goblin guard and the goblin guard bowed before closing the door. Less than a minute later the door opened again and Remus, Tonks and an older woman looking like Bellatrix opened the door and entered. Harry immediately tensed up and went for his wand as did Daphne and Su. Tonks saw it and said "Wait, this is my mother Andromeda Tonks néé Black, yes I know she looks like Bellatrix, but she isn't her.
Daphne and Su let their wand go but Harry had his hand still and his wand even though Astoria was still sitting on his lap.
Harry said "Daphne, get Astoria off of me" in a commanding voice. Remus recognized the voice; it was the voice he heard when they met Sirius in the shrieking shack at the end of Harry's third year even though his voice was deeper now. 'This was bad, Harry only used the voice if something was about to happen good or bad mostly if he was ready to fight and felt or knew he was in command like a commander or at least in control like now' Remus thought. Harry also shielded the three girls by stepping in front of them and pushing them a bit back,
Ragnok said, "Lord Potter-Black please remove your hand from your wand."
Harry said while looking at Remus, Tonks, and Andromeda "King Ragnok, I will if they answer my security question."
Harry looks at Remus and said "Remus, what did I say was the first memory that I used and told you by Patronus training?"
Remus thought back and said, "It was the happiness you felt was when you flew for the first time on a broom."
Remus said, "Okay, now you Harry."
Ragnok said, "Mr. Lupin, Lord Potter-Black had already shown by his blood he is Harry Potter."
Remus nodded. Harry turned to Tonks and wanted to speak but Remus said, "Harry you don't have to ask Dor- Tonks as Polyjuice Potion doesn't work on a witch or wizard that is a Metamorphmagus or want to turn into a witch or wizard that is a Metamorphmagus."
Harry doubted if that was true, but Hermione wasn't there, and Remus answered his question which only he knew the answer to as even Snape didn't reach that memory two years ago. Harry nodded and took his seat back immediately Astoria was in his lap again.
Tonks saw that and the look on Astoria's face, a look of contentment when she was back in Harry's lap. Tonks tried not to laugh (which was difficult), but she managed it and had a great smile on her face which only Remus and Andromeda noticed.
Ragnok looked at Harry before looking at the group that had arrived. He waved his hand and one more chair appeared because the chair for Hermione and Susan was still there. Ragnok said, "Please take a seat."
Harry was happy to see that Remus was very careful with Tonks even though Tonks didn't like it. Daphne had her ice-queen persona again while Su looked curious at them. Astoria didn't look at the newly arrived people because she kept her head buried in Harry's chest.
However as soon as Remus seated Tonks he walked over to Harry and hugged him almost crushing Astoria, but when Remus heard the girlish scream he let go. He was surprised that he forgot this girl on Harry's lap, he totally forgot her probably because he was so happy to see Harry alive and well. He immediately went to the nearby chair that was free.
Ragnok said, "Mr. Lupin, Mrs. Lupin-Tonks, and Mrs. Tonks, I want to thank you for your quick response I hope that we didn't interrupt anything important, but Lord Potter-Black needs your presence."
Remus said remembering how Harry called the goblin "No matter King Ragnok. We were not only surprised but very happy to see Harry again."
Ragnok said, "Lord Potter-Black like I said you need to sign this."
Harry signed and said, "King Ragnok, you can call me Harry in front of Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Lupin-Tonks, and Andromeda Tonks."
Harry saw Tonks glare and said, "I love you too Dora." Tonks blushed at Dora only Remus, Sirius and her late father called her that.
Tonks said, "Why do you call me that Harry?"
Harry said, "Sirius said I always called you that when I was younger after I could talk of course don't you remember?"
Tonks nodded and said, "I do but I don't know you knew."
Harry said "Well I do now. You don't mind, do you?"
Tonks shook her head "Not as long as you don't call me by that name."
Ragnok saw this was turning into a long discussion and said, "I don't want to interrupt but time is money and we have already been here for quite a while."
Harry nodded and pushed Astoria lightly off his lap and said, "Sorry Astoria but I need to stand."
Astoria nodded before sitting on her sister's lap waiting for Harry to return to his seat. Harry walked towards Andromeda, Dora, and Remus and said: "I, Harry James Potter-Black hereby reinstate Andromeda Tonks néé Black and her daughter Nymphadora Lupin- Tonks and any child they may mother and invite Remus Lupin to become part of house Black."
Andromeda stood and pulled Tonks with her and said: "I, Andromeda Tonks néé Black accept my lord."
Tonks said, "I, Nymphadora Lupin-Tonks accept my lord."
Remus stood up and said, "I, Remus Lupin accept the grateful offer, my lord."
Harry made sure his black ring was visible before he said, "so mote it be."
As soon as Harry said it Andromeda cried while Dora and Remus looked happy. Before Harry knew it, he was dragged back to the chair by Astoria and ended again with Astoria on his lap. It seemed Astoria was in her new favourite spot.
Ragnok said "Harry there is one more thing that we need to do. From your father's side, you have another lordship, Lord Peverell. You need to have a wife for it. As I understand you will have enough however you need to find a wife and be at least engaged before your 21st birthday, married before your 23rd and a child or your wife should at least be pregnant within two years of marriage or the line will pass to your son but because it has been generations if you accept it you must find a woman who wants the title. Your father and grandfather suffered when they couldn't find someone or in both cases, the woman couldn't anymore. In your fathers' case, the woman got a marriage contract and in your grandfathers' case the woman got murdered."
"If you don't accept you won't suffer but if your child doesn't find a wife for the line, he would suffer more. I want you to think about it. You wouldn't lose your magic or anything, but you will suffer for a bit. Your father suffered pain as did your grandfather for a few weeks when they couldn't find one by age 21. Some may say that there is a curse on the lordship, but we looked for it but besides the normal spells and charm there is no dark magic."
Harry thought for a second and heard somewhere accept it, it is your right. Harry said, "I accept it."
Ragnok nodded and grabbed another box. The Peverell line is an ancient and noble line but they have the same as the Potter and Black rings which is rare for just an ancient and noble house. Harry grabbed the left one again and put it on. It resized and nothing happened meaning it accept Harry.
Ragnok said "Nothing happened so the rings accept you as does the line. I expect some light though."
Now Ragnok said that the light started to light up from Harry's hand to engulf him but when the light reached his head Harry jumped up knocking Astoria off his lap. She was not happy and asked why he had done that but before she could become mad Harry let out a scream.
The girls, Tonks and Remus said "Harry what is wrong" in unison. Andromeda and the goblins didn't know what was happening.
Harry sank to his knees muttering "No, don't stop. I know you are there. I don't care, you will feel it too. Just like the ministry just try, Tom."
Harry passed out and Ragnok immediately said something in Gobbledegook and a guard left running. Ragnok with Bonecrusher came around the desk walking towards Harry. They were looking worried and were saying things in Gobbledegook. Astoria, Daphne, and Su kneeled beside him Daphne and Su grabbed an arm while Astoria put her head on his chest again trying to comfort the passed-out Harry.
Remus and Tonks were standing over the girls looking at Harry. Andromeda kneeled beside Daphne and tried some muggle things doctors do she is, after all, a mediwitch with muggle knowledge. She was happy when she felt a heartbeat, but she couldn't cast spells as she needed permission before she could ask the question the guard returned with three Goblins.
Ragnok said "Lady Black could we take Harry to our hospital wing to make sure what happened."
Andromeda wanted to answer though Ragnok was talking to her, Astoria said while sitting up "Yes, please. I can't lose Harry not anymore, not after he accepted me."
Su put her hand on his shoulder and said so everyone could hear "We feel the same we can't lose Harry. We are betrothed to him and we like him and hope for something more. So please help Harry."
Ragnok nodded and Su made sure Astoria wasn't in the way. The first goblin snapped her fingers and Harry floated. The goblins walked behind a floating Harry and they wanted to follow but three guards blocked the other from following them.
Ragnok said, "It is better if we leave the healers to do their work before we go to the hospital wing."
Astoria, Daphne, Su, and Remus wanted to argue but Andromeda said, "Of course, King Ragnok."
She looked at the girls and Remus and said "King Ragnok is right we need to let the healers do their job. If we go now, we could get in the way of healing Harry."
Remus, Su, Daphne, and Astoria were thinking before nodding. Ragnok said something in Gobbledegook. Two of the three guards went outside and one return almost immediately and walked back to his previous position near the wall behind the desk.
A few minutes later a goblin returned with drinks for Andromeda, Tonks, Remus, Su, Daphne, and Astoria. Andromeda and Tonks had tea. Remus, Su, and Daphne took a butterbeer and Astoria took a pumpkin juice.
A few minutes later the guard came back and something in gobbledegook. Ragnok answered and said to the group in English "The healers are working on Harry as soon as they are done, they will get us. My guard said it won't take long.
Five minutes later Remus was getting nervous and grabbed a firewhiskey to drink. Andromeda and Tonks again grabbed tea while Astoria, Daphne, and Su took a butterbeer.
After a few more minutes a goblin that was there earlier returned and looked nervous. Ragnok and Bonecrusher looked with horror when the healer stopped talking.
Astoria asked, "King Ragnok, what is wrong?"
Ragnok said first to himself "That can't be possible and for 90% are you sure?"
The healer nodded and Ragnok said "Get the best curse breaker. That will be curse-breaker Weasley. Get him here as soon as possible and if possible, miss Delacour, they work great together."
The goblin nodded and quickly walked away. Everybody except the goblin looked at Ragnok and he closed his eyes before opening them.
Daphne couldn't hold her curiosity and asked, "High King Ragnok what is wrong with Harry?"
Daphne didn't try to smile by saying Harry without a thought of Harry being Potter.
Ragnok took a big breath and said "It appears that his scar is full of dark magic, but they didn't find out yet. The healers said that the rings had felt it and only with the power of three rings could they fight it with means it is very strong but also, they found that his magical core was bound by 90%. They are still running tests, we don't know everything yet, but these are the initial results."
"William Weasley and Fleur Delacour are the best curse-breaker that we can get here at such short notice. William Weasley is very experienced, he worked in Egypt on the pyramids and in the Valley of the Kings where there were many wards and curses."
30 minutes later all the humans were nervously waiting for news, for a long while hearing nothing. Remus asked "King Ragnok could we please see Harry now?"
Ragnok wanted to say something when the door opened, and Bill walked in with Fleur. Bill and Fleur didn't show any sign that they knew the people that were in the room and Bill asked "King Ragnok, we came as soon as we could. What was so urgent if I may ask?"
King Ragnok said, "Thank you, curse-breaker Weasley, and miss Delacour or do you prefer Weasley?"
Fleur said, "My maiden name is fine as long as my 'usband also works 'ere." She still had an accent but less than when she came here more than three years ago. Daphne, Astoria, and Su noticed because they knew who she is. she is Fleur Delacour, Veela and Beauxbatons tri-wizard champion. (A/N #1)
Bill didn't know the girls, but he knew that the two blond girls were family and he suspected the old one was Daphne Greengrass. The twins talked about her beauty even Ron did, and he hated Slytherin.
He remembered Ron saying during his fourth year when Bill and Molly were there as Harry's family for the first task at Dumbledore's request "Greengrass has huge breasts although Bones top's her, sure she is pretty, too bad she is a slimy snaky Slytherin, pure evil and should never be trusted, associated with and never talk to her either."
Fred and George said, "Yeah, Daphne sure is a beauty as is Susan and Daphne's little sister would probably grow just as beautiful as her." The twins also said more about how she looked than Ron did.
That was why Bill suspected her name was Daphne, but he didn't know her sister's name and don't know the name of the girl of Asian descent. Bill thought 'Daphne sure is beautiful as is her little sister, I wonder if they are both Veela's I should ask Fleur. The girl of Asian descent is also beautiful but not like a Veela but still very beautiful.'
His thought was interrupted when Ragnok said "Curse-breaker Weasley, we have a difficult situation. If you could all follow me to the hospital wing."
Ragnok followed by his personal guards, four in front, 2 behind followed by Bonecrusher and the Witches/Wizards. The other two guards for Ragnok were beside Bonecrusher and the six other guards surrounded the magical people while they were walking to the hospital wing.
Directly behind Bonecrusher were Bill and Fleur, behind them Daphne, Su, and Astoria and behind them, Remus helping Tonks making sure she doesn't fall and then Andromeda. Andromeda was thinking about what could possibly be in Harry's scar. He looked in so much pain, she felt sorry for him as he changed so much and if she must believe Remus he had been through so much. She remembered he was such a carefree and happy child before the attack. Andromeda was mad at Dumbledore after Sirius' will. Dumbledore had lied to her and Ted. He said he was Harry's guardian after Sirius and Alice, but Sirius said that they were on the list and Dumbledore was not but not only that Dumbledore also let Sirius rot in Azkaban for 12 years and would be more if Sirius hadn't escaped.
28th December 1997, hospital wing, Gringotts
They entered the hospital wing, seeing a sleeping Hermione. Susan was sitting by Harry's bed and grabbing his hand while looking worried. The goblin healers were standing on the other side of the room whispering in Gobbledegook, which could be heard as the room was quiet.
Ragnok walked in and the goblin healers noticed it and immediately walked toward the king and bowing before saying something in Gobbledegook. Bill and Fleur both knew Gobbledegook and Ragnok, Bonecrusher and Bill looked worried while Fleur walked towards Harry quickly and said "Poor, poor, 'arry."
Remus said, "What is wrong king Ragnok?"
Ragnok turned towards the humans after the healers said something in almost desperate Gobbledegook and said "Well, a few things. It seems that Harry's scar is a Horcrux and is in connection with the dark lord. His magical core has been bound at 90% and to be honest it is a wonder he can cast magic after all. 90% is too much, most witches and wizards would be squibs when their magical core is bound at 90%. My healers have also found traces of basilisk venom in his blood and were discussing how he was alive."
All the humans looked shocked. Remus said "I didn't know about the Horcrux or the bound on his magical core. I do however know about the connection and the basilisk venom."
Ragnok asked, "Mr. Lupin if you did know about the connection why didn't you bring this to our attention?"
Remus looked to the ground and mutters something that sounded like "Dumbledore."
Ragnok said, "what did Dumbledore say?"
Remus didn't want to enter. Bill heard the question and said, "King Ragnok, Professor Dumbledore said he knew about the connection, but that it wasn't a threat to Harry."
Remus looked and said, "when did Dumbledore say that?"
"The first order meeting after Sirius died, you weren't there was on the day of the full moon," Bill said after thinking for a bit.
Remus looked shocked "Dumbledore lied."
Bill looked questioning Remus "what do you mean Remus?"
"Harry got possessed in the ministry but managed to fight you-know-who off, out of his mind. I asked Dumbledore about it he said that we shouldn't worry but I don't remember why?" Remus said questioning himself.
Andromeda was thinking before asking "Remus, can I cast something on you?"
Andromeda looked at Ragnok and asked "King Ragnok, I request permission to cast a diagnostic spell on Mr. Lupin. Do I have your permission?"
Ragnok said, "For what Mrs. Tonks?"
Andromeda just said, "Memory charms."
Ragnok said, "I understand Mrs. Tonks, and I give you permission."
Ragnok said something in Gobbledegook and the guards nodded before making sure they were not in the way of Andromeda. Andromeda cast a few diagnostic spells and said, "Yes, it seems that there are traces of some memory charms but the last one looks at least 6 months ago maybe more."
Remus was furious the only one who would do this was Dumbledore, he was also one of the few that had the power to do it. Remus being a part werewolf made it difficult for the caster to use mind magic including the Imperius curse on him.
Tonks said, "wait King Ragnok, did you say basilisk venom and you know of it, Remus?"
Ragnok and Remus both nodded. Ragnok now looked at Remus and asked: "Mr. Lupin could you tell how Lord Potter-Black-Peverell has basilisk venom in his blood."
Remus said "He got it 4 and a half years ago. In Harry's second year, the chamber of secrets was reopened. I didn't know until Christmas two years ago when Harry told Sirius and me the story. It seems that Ginny was possessed and opened the chamber of secrets throughout the year. At the end of the year, Ginny was dragged to the chamber and there was a message left 'Her skeleton will lay in the chamber forever.' Harry went to Lockhart who was then the DADA teacher and told him what he knew."
"However, when he reached the DADA office Lockhart was packing up saying something about urgent business had come up. Harry and Ron held Lockhart at wand point to stop Lockhart from using his wand on them. Harry found out that Moaning Myrtle was the girl that had died when the chamber was last opened. There was a sink in the girl's lavatory which was the entrance of the chamber."
"Harry and Ron went down after Lockhart. Harry said that when they found a large snakeskin Lockhart had fainted, but Lockhart had tricked them and grabbed Ron's wand, Ron was close to Lockhart, standing behind him while Harry stood several feet in front of Ron and Lockhart."
"Lockhart grabbed the wand from Ron and tried to cast a memory charm that would have wiped Ron's and Harry's memory of the incident with Lockhart saying that he was too late. He also said that Ron and Harry had lost their minds after seeing Ginny's mangled body."
"However, Ron's wand was broken at the start of the year and he didn't have a replacement at that time. When Lockhart cast the memory charm it backfired wiping Lockhart's memory but also blasting him against the roof of the cave causing a cave in."
"Ron and Lockhart on one side and Harry on the other side. Harry said he continued onwards to save Ginny while Ron was trying to make an opening for when they came back. Harry found the entrance of the chamber and because he was a Parseltongue he could open and close the entrance. He had a conversation with you-know-who when he was 16 years old and a dairy, which I look back at and think could be a Horcrux."
"Anyway, Tom as he now called himself (after revealing that he was you-know-who) said that the basilisk would only come when it was called. Harry tried to wake Ginny up, but Tom was draining Ginny's soul to have a body again. The basilisk came out but was reluctant to attack because, according to Harry "her master Salazar Slytherin placed her to protect the school, but Tom had bound her to his will."
"The fight started when Fawkes and the sorting hat appeared. Harry pulled the Sword of Gryffindor out of the hat. Harry needed to end the fight fast because every second Ginny was closer to death. He won but had one fang of the basilisk pierce his arm as he killed the basilisk. He put the sword through the basilisk's head with his arm in her mouth. Looking at his right upper arm there was a closed wound from the fang. Harry destroyed the diary with the basilisk fang that was in his arm. Ginny woke up but Harry was dying. Fawkes landed next to Harry and let a few teardrops fall in the wound neutralizing the venom, that is why Harry had traces of venom in his blood and did not die. "
**end**
Everyone looked with open eyes even the goblins. Tonks, Bill, and Fleur didn't know half the story and were also surprised.
Bill said, "I know he saved Ginny but not that he was so close to dead."
They heard a movement and saw that Hermione was waking up. Hermione went to sit in her bed and asked, "What happened and what am I doing here?"
She saw Susan sitting on another bed but didn't see Harry.
Hermione asked, "Where is Harry?"
When Daphne pointed at the bed by Susan, Hermione looked worried….
Let's end here. The next chapter will be in the hospital wing from Gringotts. What happened with Hermione will be revealed and what the plan to do with Harry. The word count allows Harry will know how the girls found him.
I want to give a shout out to Just William who beta'd this chapter.
A/N #1 half and quarter Veela's doesn't exist however because of the human blood they can't change in their bird form, but they can use the allure and create fireballs and throw them.
