Memories


Harry and Fay made their way to the French branch of Gringotts. As soon as they entered they were greeted by Gobblenock.

"Hello mr. goblin" Harry greeted, causing Gobblenock to grin in amusement.

"Hello young Potter and Lady Davet. I have gotten word from the ministry about the guardianship. We took care of everything. Now I have found something very important in one of the Potter faults. Please follow me." He turned and walked away with the two following him.

He brought them to his office. He gestured for them to sit and they did. He then grabbed a folder from his desk.

"This folder contains a very important document called a Will." He was saying this for the young neko. "A will is a legal document that communicates a person's final wishes, as pertaining to possessions and dependents. An example would be where a child would be placed after their death or who inherits their money. This Will was left by your parents." He was surprised when he saw that the neko understood everything he was saying.

"So my parents left a Will when they died. What does the will say?" He asked.

Gobblenock handed the folder to Fay and then turned towards Harry. "I will let your new guardian tell you."

"Okay." Harry said as he turned towards Fay and waited for her to finish reading.

She turned towards her new charge when she finished reading. "Harry darling, I am going to try to simplify this for you so that you can understand what I am about to say to you. Okay?"

"Okay." He said.

"First of all you were never meant to be at the Dursleys." She told him.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because your parents said in their Will that they did not want you going there. Lily, your mother, said that they would most likely mistreat you. She was right since they abused you." She was about to continue when she was interrupted.

"Excuse me, but what did you just say lady Davet?" Gobblenock asked.

"The Dursleys abused him while Harry was in their care. Harry sweetie, I am going to put up a silencing charm since I have to talk to Gobblenock about an adult matter." The French witch said.

"Okay."

Fay casted the charm before turning to a visibly fuming goblin. She explained everything to him and then told him how they were dead and that Dumbledore was to blame.

"I see. I will have their murders investigated in the meantime, finish talking to the young neko while I continue with my work." Fay nodded and turned back to Harry.

She canceled the charm and continued from where she left off. "They have a list of people that you should have gone to. The reason why they gave a list of people was in case one of the people in the list couldn't take care of you." She showed him the list. "They are in order of who would get you if they died. See?"

Harry saw that there was a list of names. The first name was Sirius Black and then the names continued after.

"So I was supposed to go to Sirius Black and if he couldn't take me then I would have gone to Remus Lupin?" Harry asked, shocking Fay and Gobblenock with how smart he was.

"Yes." She said, "Now Sirius Black couldn't take you because he was the one to betray your parents."

"No he wasn't." He said as memories entered his mind.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Unca Paddy, who is Sirius Black, never betrayed daddy. It was Wormy that did." What he said confused both Fay and Gobblenock.

"Harry, I don't understand what you mean." Fay told him looking and sounding confused.

"I remember the day that mummy and daddy died." Fay gasped in shock while Gobblenock's eyes widened and mouth dropped in shock. "Mummy was rocking me when the door blasted off the wall. Daddy told mummy to take me and run while he stayed. Mummy tightened her grip and ran up the stairs. She dropped me in the crib when a man with a snake face entered my bedroom. Wormy was with him. I remember that daddy once called him Peter. Mummy was begging the man. She said to take her instead. The man with the snake face pointed a stick at her and a green light filled the room and hit mummy causing her to fall. The man pointed the stick at me and once again a green light filled the room. It was about to hit me when a white, um, wall appeared around me and the light bounced off the wall hitting the snake-faced man. The man didn't fall like mummy. Instead I could see through him and then he just disappeared. I remember that a smokey ball was all that was left of the snake-faced man before it hit me in my head causing a lot of pain that made me cry. Wormy changed into a rat and scurried away after he set fire to the floor. Then a giant man appeared and took me away from the fire. After that I remember waking up to Aunt Petunia screaming." Harry finishes breathlessly.

Fay managed to look sad, terrified, and angry at the same time. If anyone looked at Gobblenock they would have seen that the goblin was in a similar state.

"Oh Harry." Fay said as she dragged him into a hug.

"Little neko, I want you to think about that memory so that I may extract it." Gobblenock told him.

"Why?" He asked.

"Sirius Black was placed in a wizarding prison." He explained.

"Why?" He asked.

"He was confronted by Peter Pettigrew for betraying your parents. He ended up murdering both Pettigrew and thirteen people."

"That is impossible." He said as he recalled another memory.

"Why?" Gobblenock asked.

"Uncle paddy had a spell placed upon him by mummy. He had used too much and mummy placed the spell on him so that he wouldn't use any by accident since it would hurt him." He explained.

"How do you know?" This time it was Fay who asked.

"Uncle paddy had used magic and mummy came into the room yelling at him until she realized that it was an accident. Mummy explained what she was doing when she placed the spell on him." Harry told them.

"First I will extract the memory of your parents death then that memory. This will help get Sirius Black out of prison." The goblin said. 'Seeing the man's name must have triggered his memories.'

Harry did as he was told and watched in fascination as a silvery, wavy line was dragged out of his head and placed in a vial. The process was repeated before Gobblenock labeled each vial and left.

Fay finished telling Harry about the contents of the Will. After she finished, Gobblenock came back.

"Everything has been taken care of. I have given the vial of memories to a trusted ministry employee so we have nothing to worry about." He told them.

"Thank you." She said.

"You're welcome."

Fay looked at Harry and noticed that he had fallen asleep. She smiled and picked him up.

"Goodbye Gobblenock."

"Goodbye." He sneered back.

Fay left the bank and then apparated home. She laid Harry in bed and waited for her guests to arrive. Knowing her old friend they would be there at noon.

As soon as the clock struck she went to the entry hall to greet her friend and her grandson. She smiled when she saw the young boy hide behind his grandmother.

"Good afternoon Augusta, Neville." Greeted Fay.

"Good afternoon Fay." Augusta brought Neville out from behind her legs. "Say hello Neville."

"Hello." Neville said before he went back to hiding behind his grandmother's legs.

"Lunch is almost done. Harry fell asleep so when lunch is done I will go wake him." She said.

"Who is Harry?" Augusta asked.

"Why don't we go into the study and I will explain. Neville can go since there are toys in there to play with." She said instead of answering.

"Okay." Fay led them to the study.

Augusta placed Neville near the toys and then sat down in the chair near her friend. She turned and looked at Fay expectantly.

"A week ago while I was away in Egypt for my job my son was experiencing pain that wasn't his own. He was waiting for me to come back when the pain worsened. He followed his instincts and apparated to Surrey, London. It was there that he found a nearly dead child stuffed into the garbage can." Augusta gasped in horror. "He carefully took him out and then took him to his friend, Severus Snape. It was there that they learned that the boy was Harry Potter." Fay barely heard her friend mumble the word no. "They healed him and that was when the boy came into his inheritance. He is a neko." Augusta looked at her in shock. "Yes, Harry Potter is a neko. He is also my son's mate."

"What?" She asked.

"Harry Potter is my son's mate and since he is so young he will be staying with me." She repeated.

"I see." The witch wasn't too happy about what she heard.

"Mistress lunch is being done." A house elf said.

"Thank you Doppy." Doppy popped away. "Follow me to the dining room and then I shall go get Harry." Augusta nodded and stood up and gathered her grandson before following Fay out.
