Authors Notes: Dear readers, thanks for your support. YES I love cliff hangers as they make story more interesting and as I am updating daily no problem. If you cant take a little excitement then i don't know what else to say. The last chapter was to show truth behind Lilly and other's as a justification to what Harry has done and will do. It was NOT a filler. This chapter has nice action and coming chapters are better. I hope you enjoy the story and in coming three to four chapters i may put the first kiss. I still don't know whether it will be Parvati or Padma or both IE who kisses him first. The pairing is harry/Padma/Parvati. Harry will be taking control of Hogwarts and Azkaban soon. As usual, read and please review. And tell if you seriously hate my cliff hangers.

Last time: Dumbledore looked perplexed and said "what is it Harry?"

"I would need you to swear on your magic that …."

"I would need you to swear on your magic that you will allow me to bring my new familiar and don't cause it any harm in any possible way unless it harms one of the students unintentionally"

Dumbledore looked calculatingly and said "What is your familiar Harry? Can you grantee it won't harm the students?"

"Yes. I can give you full assurance headmaster that my familiar won't harm any student or staff member unless its life is threatened. As for what it is, I will reveal once you give me your oath"

Dumbledore said in a convincing voice "As far as it doesn't harm students it is allowed. Of course defending in case of being attacked is allowed. You don't need to worry me objecting to it." He would never swear unless he knew what animal it is.

"Swear on your magic Headmaster." Harry said as a matter of fact.

Dumbledore looked into Harry's eyes and tried to probe his mind. Harry swiftly pushed away the probe and said "I wouldn't legilemense a person with whom I am about to make a deal headmaster."

Everyone was shocked and Dumbledore asked "Harry how did you and where did you learn Occlumency?"

"The same way I learnt other subjects. By reading from books and practicing the exercises. Now will you take the oath or shall we say this meeting is over?"

Dumbledore immediately put his wand to his fore head and said "I ALBUS DUMBLEDORE as headmaster of Hogwarts witch craft and wizardry swear on my magic and life that I will allow what ever familiar Harry Potter is about to bring to the school and ensure no harm shall befall it unless it intentionally harms one of students or staff to best of my powers. So mote it be"

As Dumbledore completed his oath a bright light surrounded him and diminished slowly. Only then Harry then revealed Astika coiled inside his sleeve. As Astika slid out Glory shrieked and there were gasps. James said "Kill that snake now" and pulled his wand only to be disarmed by Harry.

"If you kill it I loose my magic as I swore to protect it with my life" He said swiftly. This silenced everyone and Dumbledore looked at Harry.

"Surely you can't control it Harry. Only a parselmouth can control a snake."

What Harry did next shocked everyone. He spoke to Astika in parsel "My friend, get back into my sleeve and watch the fun."

As Harry finished he could pick the emotions leaking from everyone. They were mixed but were mostly dominated by anger, Fear and disgust. Fear, he liked. Anger and Disgust, he was not concerned. Dumbledore spoke "That is a rear ability Harry. It is dark magic. Please let go of the snake and don't use that ability anymore."

Harry looked shocked and said "There is no Dark magic and light magic Headmaster. There is only magic. It is our intentions which make it light or dark. Let me enlighten you even further. Parsel is just a language like any other. Only a select few can learn it but it is a language none the less. There is nothing dark in it. The magic which is strong and is powerful is branded Dark by the ministry because they can't control it. So don't give be this shit that magic is dark. If you used 'diffindo' to cut the throat of a person will it make the curse dark? No right. The same is the case with parsel. Does any one of you know that most powerful healing spells can be cast in parsel magic?"

At this everyone looked perplexed. It was Lilly who spoke "Harry how do you know so much about Parseltongues?"

Harry's reply shocked everyone. "There were many books in library. Once I discovered the ability and knew it was considered dark I kept it secret. But only recently I knew there are no Dark and light. It is our intentions which make us good or bad."

Everyone nodded and Harry continued "Now as for disowning we can do it next week and I will be leaving straight to one of my friends once it is done. I hope you don't mind."

Everyone was silent so Harry just got up and left to his room. As he closed the door he immediately started drafting a letter to Rangnook asking him to meet personally. He then sent it of with Emma and told her to wait for reply. Harry used Emma only for very important messages which were secret. So she knew it must be important and asked him what it was about. Harry smirked and said "A little change of papers can do a lot of harm Emma." She understood and left.

In silence of his room Harry opened his letter from McGonagall. It read

Dear Harry,

How are you? I am very happy to say that you and your friends have scored perfect scores in every subject. It became a problem for us to decide the ranks and hence named all four of you for first rank. How ever I am writing this letter to inform you about the petition we made to the board about blatant display of favouritism in presenting the house cup. All the teachers except Professor's Potters and Black who were uninformed due to their absence from school at the scheduled time of meeting have agreed to complain and share their memory. As you and your friend's are considered leader's among students and are top of your year I am drafting this letter to inform you that Board has decided to meet on first Sunday after commencement of the term and has requested students written complaint and your memories should you wish to complain. It is completely your choice and note that I won't hold this against you. Reply as soon as possible.

Yours truly,

Minerva McGonagall.

As Harry re read the letter he mirror called his friends who said they got similar letters. He drafted the reply quickly for himself and his friend's.

Dear McGonagall,

I am fine. I hope you are fine too. Thank you for the scores as it wouldn't have been possible without your help. As for the complaint I and my friends are willing to go ahead and we will definitely give our memories. We can decide on further plan of action once we get back to Hogwarts. This is a reply from me and my friends as well as we don't trust the owls to go unchecked. Emma is a phoenix and I hope you will keep this a secret. You are the only staff member who knows this.

Yours truly,

Harry Potter.

As Harry finished the draft Emma appeared and brought a note from Rangnook. It simply read '4 pm. today'. Harry smiled and explained the situation to Emma. She was more than happy to go and deliver the message if it brought down the old coot a few pegs. When Harry asked her why she was angry with Dumbledore she said "If it wasn't for timely intervention of Flamel's we will be having a master mind who has gone dark due to neglect and abuse caused to him at such young age. That old fool is the main reason behind it. With his half knowledge he is bound to destroy the world."

Harry nodded and gave her the letter addressed to McGonagall. As she burst into flames Harry cast a silent 'tempus' and saw it was little past 12 pm. He had more than an hour to get ready for meeting with Rangnook and so he continued on his book where he left.

As Harry entered Gringotts he greeted the goblins stationed at the front door and proceeded to a stand where a goblin was sitting and said in gobbledygook *Master goblin, May your gold flow and may your enemies perish. I have an appointment with Chief Rangnook. Would you please inform him that Harry Potter awaits for him?"*

The goblins were previously informed about this meeting and so he immediately asked harry to follow and took him to Rangnook's chamber and left them to privacy. Rangnook on seeing Harry smiled and said in gobbledygook "To what pleasure I owe a meeting with you Harry?"

Harry smiled at the ancient goblin's antics and said "Enough fun Rangnook. There is a matter of utmost importance in which i require your assistance." Rangnook knew fully well that a matter of importance really meant it would be very important so he immediately sat straight and asked "What is it harry?"

Harry replied "Potter's have decided to disown me."

Rangnook was shocked. "Don't the idiots know that a true lord cannot be disowned. If they try their magic will fail them and the effects will be drastic."

Harry smiled and said "Rangnook you are forgetting you are talking about THE POTTERS. They obviously didn't check the tapestry and don't know I am the true lord. I don't have any intention of revealing it to them."

Rangnook was shocked and asked "What should we do?"

Harry smiled and said "Very simple. Just change the papers from disowning to emancipation. Make them in gobbledygook and they wont be able to read. You know as much as I hate to cheat there is no way and revealing the truth will only get in way of my plans. So will you do it?"

Rangnook laughed and said "You don't need to ask me Harry. If i taught you goblin magic and war tactics it was after making you a member of Goblin nation. Anything for you. Is there anything else you want to discuss?"

Harry thought for a moment and said "Who lastly accessed my father's vault?"

Rangnook looked little surprised at the sudden change of question but said "Only head of the bank access your Fathers vault. Why?"

Harry shook his head and said "Just check if everything is fine Rangnook."

Rangnook knew harry too well and knew he was only confirming his suspicions and immediately went and checked the vault of Nicholas Flamel. He was appalled and disturbed to find the only object in the vault missing. He wnt back to his room and said "Harry, the stone is missing. I don't know how."

Harry on seeing worry in his mentors face replied "Don't worry. The stone is now safe. But i have a suspicion who might be behind this. Just check who accessed the Vault during your absence when we were training."

Rangnook nodded and checked the runes. After several minutes he said "It is Gripforth. He took over the position of director when i was training you. I will call him now. We can find out what happened."

Harry waited as Gripforth came in bowed and asked why he was summoned. Then he asked "Master Gripforth do you have a memory of accessing Flamel's safe vault during your period as Director?"

Gripforth looked shocked and replied "I have no idea what you are talking Master Harry."

Harry said "As expected. Master Gripforth i request you to give me permission to enter your mind. We believe a memory of yours has been tampered with."

Gripforth nodded and Harry entered his mind. He saw a memory was altered and undid it. What he saw boiled harry's blood. He came out of goblins mind and the goblin was horror struck.

He said "Director Rangnook, Albus Dumbledore asked for a meeting with me when you were away and i had to agree. He impersued me and made me open Flamel's vault and transferred the artifact to another one under tight security. He then oblivated me of the whole incident. I will resign to my post for my incompetency I am sorry Master Harry."

Harry swiftly replied "No need for such things master Gripforth. I as a member of goblin nation secured the stone and returned it to its rightful owner. Be careful in future though."

Harry turned to Rangnook and said "I think we will make it public and declare Dumbledore as enemy of Goblin nation. Freeze his accounts and don't allow him to bank. We wont loose our reputation as Dumbledore is considered very powerful and slandering his name will give us more than enough clients as we detected a oblivation by him."

As harry finished Rangnook nodded and Harry took his leave.

Dumbledore was now sitting in his office when a regal looking Goblin stepped through at the scheduled time. Dumbledore had not even a slightest hint to why Director Rangnook has asked this meeting. But he agreed as he didn't want to anger the goblin nation. As he saw the goblin he recognized it to be assistant director Gripforth and paled.

Gripforth pulled out a letter and read "Mr. Albus Wulfric Percival Brian Dumbledore you are here by declared enemy of goblin nation as for your crimes committed on Master. Gripforth by impersuing him and then oblivateing him. Your accounts are frozen and you are not to step forth in Gringotts bank or Goblin nation. If you dare to do so We wont be responsible for death or any other consequences. This ordeal is effective immediately."

As Gripforth finished his letter Dumbledore paled and then saw Goblin sneer and say "This is not over yet." As he was about to speak the Goblin shifted and disappeared from his office. Dumbledore didn't know what to do. Now he cant go to bank to check on his assets. He cant go to disownment of elder potter and make sure everything was fine. He sat holding his head in his hands. He didn't understand how he was discovered. He took all necessary steps. It was only possible for a master legilemense to undo those effects and he knew who has done it. he thought 'Alexander Rawthorn, if i get my hands on you you will go down.'

Days swiftly passed and the twins celebrated their birthday. They couldn't participate in this year dueling as it was their last year of ban. Harry however was happy that he will be winning the title for fourth time continually. He was holding a record of not even loosing one match and was getting eager to continue it. Because of it he was given V.I.P status and had invitations for many duels which he declined giving the ruse of business and studies at house. No one doubted him as they knew it was this young boy behind the fast growing Rawthorn fortune and were well aware of his powers to think he is backing out in fear of defeat.

The next day of the birthday Harry, Potter's and Longbottom's went to Gringotts to do the disowning. As they entered the bank a goblin came and Harry greeted him in gobbledygook startling others. Harry observed a man standing at counter observing them but doing nothing. He went over in his mind and found several men were standing at various shops doing nothing but to a commoner they looked like they were shopping. Wheels were spinning in young wizard's mind when the goblin bowed back and asked them to follow him. In the room they entered, Rangnook and Snaggletooth were seated. Harry said "Let us get it over with Master Goblin."

Rangnook nodded and looked with disgust towards Potter's and Longbottom's. James Potter quickly signed the form provided without going through as he wanted to be out of goblins presence. If he would have seen it he would have noticed it was written in red rather than usual black and was in Gobbledygook which was not language used for disowning. Harry thought 'what a fool' but kept quiet. It was then signed by Lilly and then Longbottom's and finally by Harry. Then James put a drop of his blood and Harry did the same. Soon Magic surrounded them both and James felt immense pain but Harry felt Power rushing into him. At that time all the six ancient vaults flared to active completely indicating that the Lord has arrived to his age of maturity.

Rangnook spoke up "Now that is settled, we can move to issue of Harry's trust vault."

Lilly quickly said "We will open a new vault and transfer enough funds to it so that he can attend school". She was shocked when harry said "I have enough money. So no thanks."

Alice Longbottom chided "Harry take the money they offer. It is for your school and supplies. You wont last a day without money in the world."

Harry replied in a icy tone "Don't speak out of turn women. I know what happens if you don't have money. I don't want their kindness and charity. I have my own money and is more than sufficient to last a long time."

James potter said "Harry stop telling lies. You can no way have any money. Your trust vault was emptied and now you don't even have a vault"

Harry sneered and said "For your kind information I have transferred enough funds to my own vault and invested them in various companies. So fortunately i don't require your money as i have enough of my own."

Rangnook interrupted, stopping James from saying anything further "Master harry, Your accounts have arrived. If you sign them we will re invest." As harry went through his accounts all adults saw the returns over his shoulder's and their eyes widened in shock.

James said "How did you acquire so much?"

Harry simply smirked and said "Its for me to know and for you not to find out."

As the excitement subsided Harry said "I have little work. Wait outside the chamber if you don't want to get captured by rogue death eaters. You will need a plan of action." As Harry said this, the shocked adults were pushed out of the room and were told to wait outside the chamber if they wanted. Dan hissed "he is just making it up to get attention. We already have the money. Let's go shopping."

But it was James Potter who said "Let him come out. He wont take long now. Who knows what he discovered?"

Inside Harry said "Rangnook, now that I am emancipated and legally an adult i would like to claim my inheritances."

Rangnook nodded and said "I was expecting this and was prepared." He removed a parchment and eight boxes. "Harry the last of the Peverall line descendants have died recently and the lordship passes to you. It makes total eight seats in wizangmot for you for which you need to appoint proxies. Now just put a drop of blood on the parchment and say that you claim the Lordships. You also have a choice to change your name. When you will be adopted by Flamel's you will be getting their surname along with several others. "

Harry nodded and put a drop of blood and said "I HARIUS GODRIC MERNILIAL ROWAN SALAZAR HELGA LE FAY claim lordships of Potter, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Huffelpuff, Slytherin, Ambrosius, Le Fay and Peverall lines. They have been unclaimed and I have been righted to claim by blood, magic and inheritance. So mote it be" As harry finished he was encompassed by eight bright auras and was suspended in mid air before he sat down in the chair. Rangnook offered him eight rings which fused into one with eight crests and a stone which Harry couldn't recognize.

Harry then said "Cut Potters family vault from main vault. Let us see how long they last without transfer from main vault." Rangnook nodded and Harry took leave.

As he came out he disillusioned the ring and went to Potters and Longbottom's. Dan quickly said "Hey brat what is it that was so important that you wanted us to wait?"

Harry simply said "Men were stationed at various places in the ally and there was one in the bank who came behind us. They were observing us and no doubt plan to ambush us the moment we step out of the bank. Unfortunately we have only one entrance and we cant apparate from here. So we need to face the thugs who, in my opinion are waiting for us to step out."

As Harry finished his explanation everyone stiffened so he continued "Listen carefully if you want to get out unscathed. If my deductions are correct, and they always are there will be nearly thirty men stationed outside." As he saw James pulling out his two way mirror he said "No, don't try to call help as they would have already blocked communications and will only know that we know about them and will alert them. We need element of surprise."

He then turned to kids and said "Now as we leave, I have no doubt they would have put anti apperation wards around, so stick together as a group. What so ever do not go playing Hero. Understand. These are not controlled duels and have no rules."

As he was about to continue Glory interrupted saying "Why should we listen to you brat. We have been trained our whole life and we know what to do. Don't give your advice."

Harry replied coldly "If you are so adamant on getting yourself killed or captured then i have no objections. You can find your own way." He was walking away when a hand stopped him. He turned to see Lilly pleading with her eyes. He hotly replied "What?"

Lilly just said "Please ignore her and plan ahead. Only you can get us out now. Please Harry i beg you." Though Harry didn't have any sympathy for the women he couldn't risk any of the chosen ones dying and putting that old codger on his tail. So he planned and replied.

"Fine but tell them to keep their mouth's shut. Now as you go out stick together as a group. Don't stop moving and one adult pair up with a child. Put up a shield as you move and keep attacking till you reach leaky cauldron. Then go into muggle London. We need two groups. One group move towards the pub other away from it. This will split them and give us a fighting chance."

As Harry completed explaining his plan he saw Rose Pair up with James. Dan Pairing with Lilly. Glory went with her mother and Neville went with Frank. Only Harry was left alone so Alice asked "What about you?"

Harry laughed and said "It is not new to me to fend for myself. I will be fine. Now we leave at once. lets go"

As they approached the entrance Harry whisked out his wand. Others followed him. He said "Ready to shield. When one is weakening other one in the group put it up. That way no one will be exhausted."

As they stepped out of bank all the hell broke loose.

Harry saw potter's moving quickly. Longbottom's went other way. He was casting fast and strong but he needed to make sure he didn't hurt civilians. The thugs who didn't expect resistance were shocked as the eleven year old was casting silently and putting them down. Harry was casting in Elvin, Gobbledygook and parsel. He came face to face with two hooded figures and immediately started on Elvin stunners and binders. His curse's connected with them before they could wave their wand and were down on ground. He quickly ran to a side only to find both the families nearly cornered by more than fifteen members and didn't know what to do. They didn't follow his advice and as they overpowered the first batch thought it was over. Harry didn't know how James Potter became a auror. He quickly cast 'turma' a strong shield on both the families and this reflected of all the curses. Now the thugs turned the attention towards him and all off them surrounded him. The rest of Potters and Longbottom's seeing this as a opportunity quickly ran away in the said directions and reached muggle London. Harry saw this and laughed at the cowardice and cunning of the families. They left the one that saved them, that too a child of eleven years who in their view had no special training to fight ruthless killers. Harry was however Happy. It was long since he truly had a challenge and loved one. In one swift motion he cast the shield and held it with wand less magic. Then he conjured a few swords men by using 'mektar' and put them around him to shield him from physical attacks and any curses he may not be able to deflect in time. He then started casting powerful stunners which pierced the shields stunning them. The thugs started their assault and quickly it turned into a full blown battle. Harry decided he needed to finish it fast lest the civilians be caught in it. He cast 'sublevatio enactus' and lightening started raining on his foes. He quickly subdued them and bound them. He then saw James coming with re enforcement and laughed. Everyone was on ground and Harry after giving a brief description left to Flamel's. He thought 'tomorrows prophet will be interesting. I hope news wizards 24/7 has covered that.'

As Harry reached Flamel's Manor Perene asked him "Had little fun. Didn't we?" Harry looked perplexed when Perene pointed towards Magical Vision. Harry got a glimpse of himself fighting rouge death eaters and smiled sheepishly. Perene just hugged him and told him to wash up while she prepares table for lunch. To say that Harry felt loved was understatement. After how he was left alone in the ally to fight the hug just lightened him up. He called "Mum.." When Perene turned and asked "What dear?" he replied "Nothing" and went to his room.

Dumbledore was sitting in his office with Potter's and Longbottom's. The children were playing in castle grounds and adults were thinking over what happened in the Diagon ally.

James said "I don't know how he managed it. He first cast so powerful shields that all the spells just bounced off. Then when we left and ran for safety he stayed and fought. I thought that he would be dead or captured. But he subdued all the thirty death eaters and didn't have a scratch Albus. That is impossible even for trained aurors. The people say he moved like a machine. they say he knew when, where and which curse was coming towards him before itself like he predicted it. I am at my wits end. I don't think even you are capable of such a fete."

As James finished his rant Lilly chided "James don't forget Albus is greatest wizard. Harry is nothing compared to him. It was just pure luck."

But Dumbledore's reply caught everyone off guard. "I don't think so Lilly. Magically i might be most powerful but what Harry did today cant be achieved by every wizard and it is no luck. I have a theory regarding it."

Alice said "Care to share it then?"

Dumbledore spoke "We all know his deduction skills are phenomenal. His logic undeniable."

James interrupted saying "Yes Albus. I haven't see such a strategy. He almost got us out before we were caught in the corner. And he expected the right numbers and anticipated their every move. He is a freaking genius but what has that to do with fighting thirty wizard's?"

Dumbledore said smiling "Patience James. I believe he used simplest of spells, right?"

James said "Yes."

"I think he has studied art of dueling from books in potter and black libraries. Don't forget how he rebuked my legilemency. He is a trained occlumence and is a powerful one. But even at that rate it would be impossible to come out of battle of such magnitude unscathed. Unless his mind works at a phenomenal rate under pressure of battle. his deductions become very fast and accurate. He can anticipate every move and counter it at same speed giving him a virtual advantage. I have read about such power's before. Only seeing now. And he is magically very powerful so that aided in conjurations and overpowered spells putting the death eaters down."

As everyone nodded he continued "If we can make him teach our children then there is no way Voldemort can stand them. but don't let them know this. It will ruin their self-confidence."

The next days daily prophet was full of images of Harry Potter and his fight with death eaters. How the adults have run away and how a kid of twelve has fought and won over thirty fully grown wizard's. Harry was happy to see it had the intended effect he wanted. Soon he was working furiously on a alchemy project he thought and was reaching a breakthrough. Perene mothered him and he just basked in the love and affection. Nick and he had a game of chess in which Nick would always loose and complain about harry being trained by Sherlock. harry visited everyone of his mentors and they were happy at his developed skills. Harry was soon to start second year when he had a strange dream...
