"Wait- There used to be a dueling class, and why was it stopped?" Harry shook his head as he walked inside
"There indeed used to be. I was the professor of it… til the year you started Hogwarts for some odd reason, I to this day don't know why that happened" Neo explained
"So right before I came to Hogwarts… they removed the dueling class?" Harry asked
"Indeed. Now, what do you want to know, I'm quite adept in the Magical world" Neo softly asked
"Did you know my parents?" Harry softly replied
"Course I did, who didn't know about James Potter and the troublemaking Marauders… and your mother Lily was the kindest soul, but smartest of our year" Neo answered "those days as a student were never dull"
"Do you know if they left me anything in their will?" Harry asked
Neo looked up and tilted his head "I don't exactly know… but shouldn't you have that all now?"
"The old manipulative bastard never let me get mail from Gringotts…" Harry growled as he balled his fist up
"Woah, calm down Mr Potter… I assume you're talking about Dumbledore?" Neo asked
"Who else?" Harry asked sarcastically
Neo chuckled "anyway, I assume you didn't apparate here on purpose"
"I didn't… I'm looking for something that Voldemort hid…" Harry responded
"Hm… I assume you were brought here by magic for training then… because I assure you, there's no Horcruxes in this small town of Charlestown" Neo replied
"Magic brought me here? And how do you know I'm looking for Horcruxes?" Harry tilted his head
"Magic has its own Consciousness… it's all around us, even muggles can use it… but it channels through us Wizards and Witches, which is why we are able to use it easily, and Muggleborns, however their families can't because it doesn't channel through them well" Neo explained "As for the second question… well… Tom Riddle was a boy who turned to the dark… it's only natural he wanted to destroy people, that's why he wanted to be immortal… so he'd be able to destroy whomever he came across…"
"So… when do we begin training?" Harry asked
"First, my friend… I'll take you to Gringotts to get your inheritance… because you clearly haven't been yet" Neo smiled
"I can go on my own" Harry refused
"I know you can, but do you really want to take chances with the Death Eaters being anywhere?" Neo asked
Harry paused for a second and looked at the ground
"That's what I thought, now, do you want to Side Along or Floo Network? Once we get back I'll tell you a bit more about myself" Neo sighed
"Im not exactly… the best at Flooing" Harry groaned
"Well then, grab my hand and I'll have us there in no time" Neo smiled as he stood up and held his hand out
Next thing Harry knew, after he grabbed Neo's hand, they were all of a sudden in Gringotts
The giant interior was spectacular as always, and the goblins were as always, giving looks that had suspicions behind them.
The two reached the main desk
Neo tapped on the desk twice as a Goblin turned around and spoke
"Ah Lord Blizzard, pleasure to see you again, and why are you he- Oh my! Lord Potter, it's good to see you" Griphook said
"Good to see you again as well Griphook" Neo smiled
"Anyway, what business may you have here?" Griphook asked
"I have brought Mr Potter here for certain reasons, which we will have to discuss in your office, if you allow it of course" Neo spoke
"That I can allow. Come along you two" Griphook told the two
They made their way into the deeper parts of the bank, and then they entered a room, Griphook locked the door and the two humans sat down
"Lord Potter, what is this reasons you speak of?" Griphook asked
"I have come here to receive my inheritance, that's the first reason… and the second… is… I have reason to believe there is something known as a Horcrux here in Gringotts" Harry replied heavily
"You have reason to believe WHAT? Lord Potter, that is very dark magic and if you even think of doing that you are an imme-" Griphook was cut off
"Griphook, Mr Potter said that one might be stored here, not he wanted to make one" Neo interjected quickly
"Oh really Lord Blizzard? Well then tell me what it could be" Griphook looked to Harry
"I suspect it's an item of the founders… Riddle had a fondness for Hogwarts… hidden in his most loyal follower's vault likely" Harry explained
"Ah… Bellatrix's vault… I cannot access it for you… however… there is a way" Griphook looked at Harry
"explain please" Harry looked Griphook dead in the eye
"Sirius Black… had named you his heir… making you, able to take up the lordship of house Black… now, therefore enabling you to cast Bellatrix Lestrange nee Black out of the family and then be able to access her vault. It sounds complex, but it works" Griphook replied
"Wait… so in short Mr Potter is able to take up the Black family lordship, cast out Bellatrix and then the vault is his?" Neo summed up
"Exactly" Griphook replied
"How do I do this?" Harry asked
One long ass ritual and events later, uneventful bcuz he takes the Cup, gets his lordships, gets the Horcrux removed from him.
Wait… Eh doesn't really matter too much, the Goblins just used their magic to take it out and destroy it…
ALRIGHT AUTHOR, STOP BREAKING THE DAMN FOURTH WALL-
Anyway-
"I assume you know the final 3?" Neo asked Harry as they apparated back
"If I had to assume… It's Ravenclaw's Diadem… but the other two I have no idea of" Harry responded honestly
"Alright then… well we can use what we know… now let me tell you more about myself" Neo sighed as he sat down in his recliner and Harry sat on the sofa
"I was a Ravenclaw. I kept a lot to myself, but also interacted with my housemates… now you can imagine whatever, but yeah I fell in love and whatever, that's for later. I assume you've heard how your mother and Severus' friendship ended?" Neo asked
"Yeah… Snape referred to her in a derogatory term and she basically left him" Harry replied
"Boy, that was the talk of the school. Anyway, the war had only just started brewing, so nothing too big was happening, after 7th year though… everything changed…" Neo looked down
"What happened Sir?" Harry asked
"On the train back… there was an attack… my love didn't survive the onslaught of curses. And it sent me into a spiral… you can imagine how it went from there" Neo sighed
"Isolation?" Harry asked
"I joined the Aurors… trained under Mad Eye Moody. I wanted to send those motherf- sorry, there's children reading. Anyway, I wanted to send the ones who killed my love to hell… Although, I learned a valuable lesson… Revenge isn't everything" Neo sighed
"I know that sir, but what happened next?" Harry asked
"I became a shell of my former self and then came back to teach Duelling at Hogwarts for a few years… until they closed the class" Neo looked up
"That's it?" Harry asked
"Pretty much… Anyway, I've got a training room that you can use for training. Any books in this house are free for you to use, the training room is open whenever, just be sure to get rest. If you need anything from me, just send a patronus" Neo stated
"But aren't we gonna do like a first day training between master and student and then have an insane training montage?" Harry asked
TF WHAT DID HE DO-
HE BROKE THE W- yknow what, fu- Kids are reading
Heck the fourth wall, it's in pieces
ANYWAY,
Fourth wall shatters again
OH COME ON
Anyway, Harry trains day in, day out, getting rest whenever
Pretty much giant training montage and he destroyed the cup once they got back.
Blah blah blah. Author is lazy to write all of it
FOURTH WALL AGAIN GODDANGIT! BOB! FIX THAT WALL!
