Chapter 11
"Normal Speech"
Thoughts
'Mental Conversations'

Everyone looked relieved that Hermione was finally able to control her emotions. No one was more shocked than Amelia Bones. She thought, She's just a teenager right? Hermione asked, "What is the plan Sirius?"

"Do you both remember that we had talked about using Harry's fame to our advantage? Well, it's time to get the ball rolling. I know it is earlier than we thought, but we need to use your fame to get to Lucy" replied Sirius.

"And how is using Harry like this going to get my family the justice it deserves?" replied Hermione in a cold tone.

Just as Sirius was going to explain to Mione the plan, Draco spoke up, "We start with Harry giving an exclusive to the Prophet. Use that to sway the public to your cause. The one thing Fudge is constantly worried about is public opinion and staying in charge. The public will be outraged. During the interview, Harry should bring up the fact that Sirius never had a trial. You say something like, 'What kind of world do we live in if a Pure Blooded Lord such a Most Ancient and Noble house was just thrown into Azkaban without having a trial? Also, add something about how Bellatrix Lestrange even had trial. But you also have to point out that Fudge and his current administration had nothing to do with it."

"Draco, not to be rude, but when did you decide to act all Slytherin? You usually tend to just charge ahead like the rest of us Gryffindor's" replied Harry as he chuckled at his own comment.

Draco could see this was a joke and said, "Oy! I have always been a Slytherin!"

"You guys are right; I don't like the idea of using my fame. But, as you kindly pointed out to me earlier, I will never be normal, and I have no choice in that matter." Replied Harry. "Who do we get to do the interview?"

"Well that's simple, we ask the owner" smiled Sirius.

Amelia looked at him with a creased brow, "Where are you going with this Sirius?"

"Amy, I hurt that you would think that I'm up to something" replied Sirius as he slapped his hand over his heart.

"Sirius, I have known you for too long to fall for that bullshite. I know you are up to something." Amelia said as she pointed a finger at him.

Sirius chuckled. "You have always had the mouth of a sailor Amy when your emotions are running high. And before you try to hex me again, it has nothing to do with the fact that you are a woman. And if you really want to know, I am the main shareholder for the Prophet."

"Sirius that's brilliant! I could kiss you!" said Hermione.

"Hey! That's my wife you mutt!" screamed Harry. He thoughtfully added, "Get your own!" and then made the mistake of looking at Amelia. "Ouch! Did you just hex me?"

Amelia smirked at Harry and said, "Why is that Brilliant Lady Potter, and which reporter do you want to use?"

Hermione jumped at the chance to explain. "First off Madame Bones, please call me Hermione or Mione. Second, its brilliant because then we control the press, not Fudge."

"I can see your point." Replied Amelia

"Now as for the reporter, I say we bring Rita Skeeter onto our pay roll as an investigator reporter. For the exclusive though, I want to use someone who is not well known. It will help launch a career and keep a faithful reporter within our mists. Yes, I basically own the paper, but I want a spy within the paper. People will talk, but they won't do it when the boss is around." Sirius said.

As much as Harry hated this plan, he knew it was the best they had at the current time. "Alright, I'll do it. If it will get you free Sirius and take down Lucy, I will do what it takes."

"I'm glad to hear that pup. I have a couple of other things to discuss with you. If you don't mind, I would like to speak to you in private. Along with Mione- I know you would come along any way, and Amy." Sirius said with a grin before turning to his old friend and said, "Remus, could you do me a favor and escort Draco back to his aunt's? Director, would you be able to get a copy of all the documents I have requested? Also, do you mind if we borrow your conference room for a moment?"

"Of course Lord Black. I will personally make sure everything is handled appropriately." Ragnok bowed and walked out the hidden door that was behind a tapestry depicting one of the goblin rebellions.

Harry and Hermione looked a little worried, and Amelia looked puzzled. She never liked being kept in the dark. Especially when Sirius Black was involved. "Sirius, I can understand wanting to speak to Harry and Hermione, but why am I here?"

"I will get too that in a moment Amy. However, for right now I need you here as a friend, not head of DMLE." Said Sirius. Knowing Amelia as well as he did, he added, "Please Amelia. You will know when to flip that switch. But for right now, I just need you here for support."

Amelia sighed, she knew this had to be serious if he was using her full name. "Alright Sirius. You have my word."

The smile on Sirius' face stretched from ear to ear. "Thank you." Sirius turned to look at Harry. "I know this whole situation sucks Harry, but I need you to hear me out. When you do the interview, I want to bring up how and where you were raised. Wait for me to finish before you argue with me." Sirius paused to make sure that Harry was listening. He saw Hermione grab Harry's hand to lend him support. "I want to bring up the fact that Dumbledore left you on that door step. I want to bring everything up. I know you don't want to talk about those years. But it will help with taking down Dumbledore. We also need to think about announcing you taking up your Lordship and possible the marriage with Hermione."

Harry turned to look at Hermione to try to figure all of this out. 'Maya, what do you think?'

Hermione bit her lip as she was thinking. 'I hate to say it, but I agree with it for the most part. I wouldn't announce that you have claimed all of your titles just yet. What are your thoughts about announcing our marriage?'

'I am only going to announce that I am Lord Potter. We need to save the founder's titles for when we are at Hogwarts. I am still a little on the fence about announcing our marriage. What about a betrothal?'

Sirius gave a little cough and said, "I know that there is a lot to discuss. But it is a little rude to hold your own conference if front of others."

Amelia asked, "Do you two normal speak to each other like that?"

Harry and Hermione both blushed. With a cough to clear his throat, Harry said, "We're sorry for being rude. This all has very serious consequences and once we get the ball rolling, there is now way of stopping it. We agree to most of it. I will only announce taking up the title of Lord Potter for now. Both of us feel that we should keep every other title under wraps for now. We would like both of your opinions on a few things though."

Amelia and Sirius both looked at each other and Amelia asked, "I will do my best to help. I can only assume your first question is about announcing your marriage. What is the other question?"

"Do I announce my title of Lord Pendragon?" asked Harry.

Amelia had to do a double take at this. "Lord Pendragon?" she asked. "Harry, how many title do you have?"

Harry rubbed the back of his head, "Well, besides being Lord Potter, I am also Lord Gryffindor, Lord Slytherin, and Lord Pendragon."

"Sirius, is this true?" A shocked Amelia asked.

With a shite eating grin playing at this lips Sirius replied, "Yes Amy, but that is not all. Mione, why don't you tell Amy your titles."

"Wait a minute. Hermione, I thought you were a muggle born. I hope you don't take offense to that, this is just a lot to take in." Amelia could not believe that all of this was happening.

Hermione giggled and said, "It's ok Madame Bones. I thought the same thing when I found out."

"Hermione, I must insist that you call me Amelia, not Amy" Amelia said as she shot a glare over to Sirius earning a chuckle for him.

"Ok Amelia, I have a few titles as well. It turns out that I come from a long line of squibs. Besides being Lady Potter, I am also Lady Ravenclaw, Lady Dagworth and Lady Le Fey."

"Wait a minute. Are you telling me that both of you are basically magical royalty?" asked Amelia.

"Now you see our dilemma. We want to keep everything that has to do with the founder's secret for now. We can use that to our advantage for when we are at Hogwarts. The other problem we have is if we announce our marriage, then my cover will be blown." Amelia sat their tapping her finger on her lips, and Sirius was staring off into space tapping his fingers on the table.

"What if we said you were his betrothed?" asked Sirius.

"I feel that if we announce that, then the information about our marriage will be leaked. I know you own the Prophet Sirius, but I don't think we will be able to stop that from getting out" replied Hermione.

"Well, that only leaves one thing then. We will have to announce the marriage. We could keep the fact that you two have a soul bond out of it." Sirius took a sip of water and then continued to say, "Amy, now is the time I would like to speak to Madame Bones." As soon as Sirius finished his sentence, Ragnok came waltzing into the conference room carrying a large folder. "Ah Director, perfect timing. Amy, this folder contains all of the healer's findings on Harry. We want to continue with building the case against Dumbledore."

Amelia took the folder and started reading. Harry mused, 'How long before she freaks out?'

'I give her till the bottom of the first page if that. She is already as red as her hair'

'3…2…1…'

You could visibly see Amelia taking deep breaths, trying to calm down. "Let me get this straight. On November 1, 1981, Dumbledore left you on the door step wrapped in a blanket, with only a letter, in the middle of the night? He then sealed your parent's will and went against their direct wishes by leaving you with people who hated everything and anything to do with magic?"

Harry shrunk down a little in his seat, "Yes Ma'am."

Amelia continued, "While you were living there you were treated worse than a house elf. Cooking, cleaning, gardening, and whatever else needed to be done. They physically and emotionally abused you. Not once did Dumbledore check on you is that correct?"

Harry hung his head a little and relied, "Yes Ma'am." This was the reason why he didn't like to speak about it.

He felt Hermione give his hands a squeeze and heard Hermione say, "Madame Bones, now that you have the information that you need, can we please change the topic of conversation?"

Amelia looked up from the parchment and saw that Harry was essentially trying to hide. "I do apologize for my reaction Lord and Lady Potter. Lord Potter, I want you to know that I intended to peruse this 110%."

"Thank you Madame Bones" replied Harry. "Do we need to make a decision about announcing the marriage today?"

Sirius thought about this for a second, "How about you two sleep on it tonight. We can discuss it tomorrow at breakfast."

"Alright Sirius. Is it alright if we discuss it with everyone in the house?" asked Harry.

"I think it would be fine Pup. Narcissa may be able to help the most. She dealt with those Pure Blood circles. Why don't you two head back to Andy's and I will meet you there."

Harry and Hermione both nodded their heads in agreement. Sirius and Amelia watched both of them leave. "Well Sirius, if there are no other pressing matters, I will take leave." Amelia went to get up from the table when Sirius put his hand on her arm, stopping her. "Amy, wait."

Amelia looked down at Sirius and said, "What do you do you want Sirius?"

"Amy, I am asking for a second chance" replied Sirius as he took her hand as he got up from the table. "Please." Amelia tried to turn away so that Sirius couldn't see the tears starting to form. He grabbed her by her shoulders and forced her to turn to look at him. Sirius could see the hurt and heartache in her eyes.

"Why should I Sirius? Do you have any idea what I went through? Do you know of my heart break? Do you know about all those lonely nights I had, just wishing to break down? Do you know what it was like for me to build the walls around my heart?" Amelia had tear streaming down her face. No one has ever seen the real side of her. She always kept it locked away ever since that fateful night in October. "I wanted to crawl into a hole when you got sent away. I just wanted to be alone. But, I had a job to do. I had to raise Susan. You were supposed to be there to help. Instead you were taken away from me and I was left to fend for myself. You ask for a second chance, but I don't know if I can give you that." Amelia kept eye contact with him. Making sure he saw all the pain he had caused her.

"Amy, I know I'm sorry won't cut it. I'm asking you to give me a chance. I am a different person now. You are the only person I have ever and will ever love. You may think there have been others, but your wrong. It was only you, and it will always be you." Sirius was cupping Amelia's face, gently wiping away the tears streaming down with his thumbs. He slowly bent his head down and softly asked, "Please Amy."

Amelia's heart skipped a beat at this. She softly replied, "I'm not sure I can." Just seconds before Sirius kissed her.

The Burrow-

Bill Weasley apparated into the small field just in front of his family's home. He decided to stop by and see everyone. He needed to speak to the twins. As he thought about what he was going to say, he realized he could use this as his opportunity to gather information for the Potter's and for Gringotts. The director had personally asked him to assist them. Bill managed to get to the house without being detected. That's odd he thought. His mother always greeted him before he even reached the door. Realizing that something wasn't right he cast a quick notice me not charm and peered into the kitchen window. What he saw shocked him to the core. His mother was baking. That wasn't what shocked him though. He saw her put a pink potion into the tarts she was making. Everything he heard was true. Part of him didn't want to believe it when he first heard from the twins.

Just as he was about to cancel the charm and walk in the door he saw Ron come into the kitchen. He quickly checked for any silencing charms and found none. He quietly opened the door just enough so that he could hear, but still remain unnoticed.

"Mum, do you think I would be able to get a new racing broom with the money I earned from spying on Harry? I'm tired of always looking poor. Besides, for once I want something that the Potter brat doesn't have."

"Ron dear, you know we can't spend the money like that just yet. People would ask too many questions. You already know the plan is for him to marry Ginny and get her pregnant before he is killed, then we will have sole access to the Potter Family Vaults and all our troubles will be taken care of. For now, we have to keep everything low key. Why don't you go and send him a letter, inviting him here for the last month before school starts?" Molly went back to the counter to finish wrapping up the tarts. Molly turns back around and saw that Ron was still standing there. "Ronald, I already told you. If we start spending money like that, then people will start asking questions and we cannot have that. Besides, you are going to get something Harry wants. You get Hermione. Now, go write that letter to Harry. If you want, you could send one to the little mudblood as well. We could start her on the potions earlier than planned. Come back down here when you are finished. The special tarts that I made for Harry are ready."

"Fine" replied Ron as he turned and huffed upstairs. Neither of them knew that Bill was there. He quietly backed up from the door and closed it, adding a cushioning charm to make sure the door didn't make too much noise. Well, I think all that information will be very useful for the Director. He quickly canceled the notice me not charm and walked back towards the house trying to steel himself for seeing his mother. It is going to be very difficult not to hex her when he saw her. He took a deep breath, knocked twice on the door to give some warning that someone was about to walk in. "Bill! This is a pleasant surprise. What are you doing here?" said an excited Molly. She always got excited when one of her son's returned home.

"I had a few hours before I have to head back to work for an extra shift and thought I would stop by." Replied Bill.

"They work you too hard dear. I just don't understand how you could work for those dangerous creatures."

Bill frowned at this. This isn't the first time his mother said something like this to him. "I am not having this conversation with you again. I enjoy my job. I am very good at it, get paid well, and as long as you are respectful to the Goblins, they will respect you back."

Molly was getting ready to reply with Ginny came running into the kitchen. "Bill! What are you doing here?" she yelled as she jumped and wrapped her arms around her favorite brother.

Bill caught Ginny and turned her around in circles laughing. "I came to see you of course my little fire cracker!" Bill pulled her in for a bear hug while shooting his mother a dirty look. "Do you want to see my new quidditch poster?" asked Ginny. Bill smiled at her and said, "Lead the way." Ginny was talking a mile a minute about what happened at school last year, how her summer has been, and of course about Harry Potter and how mum said that she would marry him one day. Just as they got to the top of the stairs he saw Fred and George stick their heads out of their room. He gave a quick nod to let the twins know that he needed to speak before walking into Ginny's room.

15 minutes later Bill walked out to the orchard to meet with the twins. Fred started to say, "What did you want" and George finished "to speak to us about?"

Bill said, "Director wants me to gather information for him. I overheard mum talking to Ron. I am so ashamed of them. I want to warn you guys that something is coming."

Fred and George looked at their brother and said, "We know."

Bill looked a little puzzled at this and asked, "How do you know?"

This time George started to say, "We spoke to Harry"

"that day at Gringotts. And that"

"we would always be welcome"

"by him and"

"his family" said the twins as they finished this thought together. Thankfully Bill was use to the way they spoke. "I need you guys to keep me up to date with what is happening in the house. I don't think Ginny is involved. If you can, I want you to try to get a sample of the treats mum makes specifically for her." Bill stopped to make sure that both were listening. "I don't have to tell you lot not to get caught."

The twins laughed at this. "O brother of ours" said Fred and was continued by George "you wound us by thinking so" and finishing together "low of our talent."

~Hogwarts-

Severus Snape was walking towards the great hall for dinner. He was wondering if he should have Poppy take a look at him. Lately he has been having horrible migraines that have started to become quite debilitating. Unfortunately, tonight was one of those nights. While he was walking he was rubbing his forehead. "Perhaps Severus, you should skip dinner and just lay down." Said the Headmaster who was walking up behind him.

"I wish I could, but I have to pick up some fresh potion ingredient." Replied Severus. He didn't want to let Albus know that he was actually going to see his Godson. For some reason he could not shake the feeling that Albus was up to something.

Just as he was going to ask Albus if he needed anything, he saw Minerva and Filius coming towards them he said, "Good evening Minerva, Filius."

"Good evening Headmaster, Severus. I thought you were going to the ministry tonight" said Filius.

Albus look to the half goblin and disguised the disgust he had for the half breed with a twinkle in his eye, "Alas, they cancelled the meeting. It looks like I have a chance to get caught up on somethings that have been pushed to the side." Minerva just looked at the man who use to be the leader of the light. "Well Albus, we won't keep you. Severus."

"Very well Minerva, Filius. Have a good evening." Albus thought to himself, I will have to keep an eye on those two.

Just as Albus turned around he noticed that Severus winced in pain. "Perhaps I will take my evening meal in my quarters this evening Albus."

"Very Good Severus. I will check in on you tomorrow for an update on those potions I have asked you to develop for me." Severus turned and started to walk back towards his quarters.

If he had just stopped and turned for just a brief second, he would have seen Albus cast a very powerful Confundus charm. "I'm sorry Severus, but it's for the Greater Good."

At Gringotts, just outside the conference room-

Harry and Hermione knew Sirius was up to something. The look in his eyes said so. Just as they were walking towards the floo Harry felt a strange pull from deep within him that was almost like a jolt. "Did you feel that Maya?"

Hermione looked at him and said, "Did it feel like a jolt? Like something was calling you?" Harry nodded his head in agreement. Hermione suggested, "I think we should visit our vaults before we head back Harry. I can't explain it, but I feel that we have too."

Harry knew better than to ignore his instinct. The changed direction and walked over to the first available teller and bowed. "Greetings, I wish to visit my vaults. Would you be able to tell Griphook that Lord and Lady Potter are here?"

The teller looked up and said, "Wait here."

Just as the teller turned to inform Griphook, he saw him walking over to them. Harry and Hermione both bowed to him and Harry said, "Greetings Griphook, may you crush the bones of your enemies and your vaults over flow."

Griphook was use to this show of respect for Lord Potter. "Greeting Lord and Lady Potter, may you stand victorious in battle and your vaults over flow from your conquests. I know this isn't a social call, what can I do for you?"

"We would like to see our other vaults, hopefully starting with the founder's vaults" replied Harry.

"Very well Lord Potter. If you and Lady Potter will please follow me." All three set off to the carts. Because they were going deep into the bowels of the bank, it took them about 15 minutes to get their vaults. Griphook could see that they were confused and said, "We have kept all of those vaults on the same level because of the security down here. Vault 1 is Pendragon, Vault 2 is Emery, Vault 3 is Le Fey, and the founder's vaults are 4-7. It starts with Gryffindor, then is followed by Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and finally Slytherin. In order to get into your vaults, you must place your hand on the door."

Before Harry could say anything, Hermione said, "Harry, before you try to suggest ladies first, why don't we just start with Slytherin and then just work our way down love."

Harry smiled and kissed her on the cheek. He walked to Vault 7 and placed his hand on the door. Just like the Potter family vault he felt a small cut on the palm of his hand. As the door was getting ready to open he heard, "Who demandssss entry?" Of course you would also need to be a parseltongue. "I command you to open!" Harry heard a small hiss as the doors started to open. When he stepped inside he was amazed. Similar to the Potter vault, this one had separate chambers. He walked through the first chamber that contained his gold. The second chamber contained goblin made swords and daggers, shields, and different armors. He decided to take one of the daggers. There was one that had an emerald placed on the end of the hilt and a snake was wrapped around it. He grabbed a small scabbard and attached it to his belt. The next room was the center of the chamber. As he looked around he saw that all around the room were different individual jewels, and many different types of jewelry. Directly in the center of the room sitting on a pillow that was on a small wooden dais was Salazar's wand. When he laid eyes on it he felt a familiar jolt run through his body. As he went to pick it up a sudden breeze kicked up. When Harry looked up he saw the ghost of Salazar Slytherin standing in front of him. "Welcome my true heir."

Harry was in shock. "It is an honor to meet you Lord Slytherin."

"None of this Lord business. It has been hundreds of years and we do not have much time together. The time draws near for you to present yourself. I want you to take my wand. When you go to take it, hold your wand over it. The two will combine. Once that happens, I will be able to communicate with you and help guide you on your way. It is time for me to go young one. I have another task for you. Please bring my house back to the glory it once was. I have watched it slowly become what it is today." Salazar started to fade away.

"I will do whatever it takes." Harry felt another breeze and heard,

"Enlist the help of my other snakes. Not all of them are dark."

With that, he was gone. Harry walked up to the wand and did exactly as he was told. As he held his wand over Slytherin's wand he felt his hand start to vibrate. There was sudden flash of light that caused him to look away. When he looked back he saw his wand was now swirled with his holly and Salazar's snake wood, and his phoenix core combined with the basilisk horn. He felt a surge in power. "Whoa." Was all he could think of. Remembering that there were other vaults to visit he made his way back.

Once he was outside the vault Hermione asked, "How did it go?"

"We will talk about it later. Let's go to the Ravenclaw vault." Replied Harry as he turned her towards vault 5.

Hermione walked up to the vault doors that had ravens carved on it. She was a little nervous when she placed her hand on the door. She felt a small slice across the palm of her hand. Slowly the doors started to open. When she walked inside and was speechless. This was only one of her vaults? The first room was filled with gold and jewels. She still felt this strange pull and started walking towards the center chamber. She walked through the second chamber and saw rolls of parchment and ancient tomes. She felt the pull getting stronger as she got closer. She walked through a small antechamber that held various daggers and knives. Once she got to the center of the vault she noticed a few notebooks and a wand that was on a pillow on a small wooden dais directly in the middle of the vault. This was where the power was coming from. As Hermione got closer she felt a sudden breeze and right before her eyes Rowena Rawenclaw materialize before her eyes.

"Welcome my heir. I have waited for a long time for someone who was truly worthy of the title Lady Ravenclaw."

"But how can you tell if I am truly worthy Lady Ravenclaw?" asked Maya.

Rowena smiled at this. "First, only my heir would ask me that. Second, I do not need to have extra precautions to prevent those unworthy from entering into this vaults. When the vault took a sample of your blood, it not only checked to make sure you were my direct descendent, but I also charmed the door so that it checks for the intelligence of the person wishing to enter. Now, I must stop you from asking any more questions, and please call me Rowena. My time grows short and I must speak with you. You have a tough road ahead of you my child. You and your mate will face many dangers during the years to come. You must keep the faith and your wit. Use the Room of Requirements to train. There is also a Founder's Tower that can be accessed either by going through the Room of Requirement or from behind the tapestry that is just outside the Great Hall. These are the main entrances. If you are truly in need, all you need to do is ask the castle for aide. You must claim your Founder's Rights in order to access it. Take my notebooks, as well as a dagger from the antechamber. They will help you on your quest. I want you to claim my wand. Just hold your wand over it, and the magic will do the rest. It is time for me to go my child. Once you claim my wand, I will be able to give you aide. The wand and the ring will pass on my knowledge and wisdom. I will also be able to communicate with you from time to time. Look after my claws. I do not like what they have become. When you feel lost, speak with the moon."

"I will Rowena." was all Hermione could say. She could not believe her eyes.

"Tell my daughter and the baron that all is forgiven."

With that, Rowena faded away. Hermione held her wand over Rowena's and felt her wand start to vibrate. Just like Rowena said, the magic did the rest with a flash of golden light. It was so bright that she had to look away for a moment. Once the light faded, she looked down to see her Vine wood wand was now swirled with Rowena's willow. There was so much power. She walked over to the table that held Rowena's notebooks and shrunk them so that she could put them in her pocket. Hermione turned to walk back to the front of the vault. She stopped at the antechamber to pick a dagger. She found one that was goblin made and held a large sapphire on the end of a hilt and had a raven with its wings spread so that it was wrapped around the hilt. Placing it in a scabbard she put it on her belt. Once she had everything she walked back to the front. As soon as she got to the doors, they slowly started to open to show Harry waiting for her.

"Did you get everything you needed?" asked Harry.

"It was unbelievable Harry! I want to tell you all about it." Hermione replied, almost bouncing on the balls of her feet from the excitement.

Harry laughed. "We will have to compare notes later love, I still have a few more vaults to visit."

Hermione pouted a little bit, "Fine. But I want to know every last detail."

They held hands as they walked to Vault 4. Gryffindor Vault. Harry walked up to the two doors that had Griffins carved onto them and placed his hand on the door. He watched wide eyed as the griffin's started to move. The doors slowly opened and he stepped inside. This vault was set up like the Slytherin vault. The first chamber contained his gold, the second was rather large and contained his weapons. Looking around he found several different types of swords, daggers and knives, clubs, maces, flails, war hammers, spears, pikes, axes, lances, and even several types of crossbows. Across the room from his personal armory was all the armor he owned. Hanging on the walls were different shields. He could feel the magic pulling him to the center of the chamber. When he walked into the center of the vault he noticed that there was a sword in the center of the room instead of a wand.

Just like before he felt a breeze. This time when he looked up he was ready to face Godric Gryffindor. "My Lord, it is an honor to meet you."

"Call me Godric my heir. I am glad you found your way down here. I have much to tell you. You may be wondering why I have not tested you. When you used your blood to open the vault, it showed that you have a heart of a lion. There are troubling times ahead young one. Keep your head, stay true to your heart, and keep your mate by your side. I know you want to keep her safe, but you will have need of her. That is my sword. Yes, you have already called it to yourself once. The sword does present itself to any Gryffindor in need. This will be your personal sword. Once you accept this sword, it will open the lines of communications between us. Even if you do not have the sword on you, I will still be able to guide you because of the ring. You will need to train hard. Use whatever means necessary. The castle will help. It is time for me to go. Please look after the rest of the lions. What they have become is unacceptable. Being a Gryffindor is not only about courage, it is also about having heart. It is about using that courage and heart to help others like a true knight. Show them the true way."

After Godric left, Harry walked over to claim the sword of Gryffindor. When he picked it up, he felt something stir within him. He started to feel his fear melt away. He felt his inner strength and resolve begin to soar. He grabbed the scabbard that was next to the pillow, sheathed his sword and attached it to his belt so that it hung on his left side.

Harry walked back out to greet Hermione and said, "How long do you think this is taking us?"

Hermione chew on her lower lip for a moment before saying, "I don't think too long. I think time was different the first time in the vault. From this point of view, you were only in there for about 2 minutes."

Harry nodded his head in agreement and asked, "Where too next love?"

"That would be the Le Fey vault dear."

Hermione walked up to the doors. Too be a little honest, she was a little nervous about going inside. She placed her hand on the door and felt another cut. But this time she felt a jolt run straight to her core. Hermione watched the doors slowly open and thought to herself, What was that? As she walked inside she didn't really look around too much. She was mostly interested in finding what was pulling her. She walked through to the center and found a necklace that had a large moonstone in the center, that was surrounded by diamond. It seemed to be very simple in design, but held its own. Next to the necklace was a matching tennis bracelet that had small diamonds separating the small moonstones. This was where all the power was coming from.

"My child." Hermione looked up and saw Morgana's ghost standing before her.

"My lady." Replied Maya as she started to dip into a deep curtsy.

"As your trials begin, do not make the same mistake I did. Hold on to your love, and remain strong in your resolve. The Goblin Prophecy stands true. Take my necklace and bracelet. Also take the small black book next to this table. It will give you access to every tomb in this vault. The jewelry will protect you from those who wish you harm. Remember, you are the voice of reason. Keep the daughter of the moon close. I must warn you that tomorrow when you wake, you will find yourself… altered." Morgana began to fade, "Stand strong daughter" was the last thing she said before she faded away. Hermione put on the bracelet and necklace and felt as if a magical shield was placed over her and felt a large jolt of power run through her. She knew never to take them off.

While Hermione was finishing up in the Le Fey vault, Harry decided to go into the Emery vault. Was this really happening? This was all so unbelievable. He put hand in between the two Celtic crosses carved onto the doors. This time he felt a bolt of electricity run through him. It was as if the vault was reading him. As soon as he walked in he felt a surge of power. The first chamber was filled with different tombs and had a Pensive in the center of it. Harry kept walking towards the center. Once he got there he saw a white aura encircling the Staff of Merlin.

"Welcome Lord Potter. The time has come for me to pass on my powers and knowledge. You living in troubling times. Heed my warnings, keep your mate close. Do not try to keep her from standing by your side. Trust your instincts, the dragon, and the other child of the prophecy. Keep the daughter of the moon close, she will help point you in the right direction. Seek out the other founder's heir, she is closer then you realize. You already know that you face two Dark Lords. The task I have for you will not be an easy one. You already know that one has created shards of his soul. In order to defeat him, you must fine the others and destroy them. Do not take on this burden alone. My time here grows short. My staff is yours. It must bond with you. Make small cut over your left palm and when you place your hand over the staff, allow 3 drops of blood to fall on it. It will create a blood bond with you. Only my true heir will be able to use it. Once you have fully absorbed my powers and knowledge, tomorrow when you wake you may find yourself altered. Once you have finished with the transfer, you need to head home to rest. I want you to skip visiting the Pendragon Vault for now. I will let you know when it is time for you to accept your new roles. I may visit you and yours from time to time. My time has come to an end. I wish you luck."

Harry wondered if his life would ever be normal. "Wait! How will I know what is a horcrux?"

"One is here within the walls of this building. Have the Goblins scan the vaults for dark objects. Remember, my warnings."

Harry cut his left palm with the knife that was next to the staff and held his hand over it, letting his blood drip onto it. At first, he was worried something was wrong when nothing happened. A breeze had started out of nowhere and the ground started to shake. He heard a loud crack of thunder, and a sudden bolt of lightning slammed into him, lifting him up off the ground. The power soaring through him was growing greater and greater. Soon it was unbearable and he felt like his body was being torn in half. Unable to keep quiet any longer Harry started screaming. There was a final push of power and flash of light. Harry was slowly lowered to the floor, landing on his feet for a minute before collapsing. He already felt different. Once the pain subsided and the spinning stopped he was able to get back up and stumbled to the front of the vault.

He managed to get out of the vault and ended up falling to his knees in front of Hermione. She gasped, "Harry! What happened?"

It took Harry a few minutes before he was able to answer. "Too much power transferred from Merlin. We should head back to the house. I think I need to lay down."

"Of course sweetie. Let me help you up." Replied Hermione. Griphook started to lead them back to the cart.

Once they were all seated, Harry said "Griphook, I need you to ask the Director to scan all the vaults for any dark artifacts."

"I will pass the request on my lord" replied Griphook as he getting ready to start the cart.

Once they were back at the surface they saw Sirius walking out of the conference room with Amelia. "Harry? Mione? I thought you guys were heading back to Andy's?" said Amelia.

Sirius took a close look at the two of them and noticed that they both looked a little pale. "What happened to you two?" he asked.

He noticed that Harry started to sway and took three steps to reach him. He put his hand on Harry's arm to help steady him. "We visited our other vaults. We felt the magic calling to us." Replied Harry. "Can we go now?"

Sirius had Harry's arm draped around his shoulders that was helping hold him up by now. "Alright pup, let's get you home. Amy can you help Mione back?"

"Already on it Sirius." Replied Amelia as she walked over to Hermione. "Are you both ready?"

Hermione looked over and said, "Let's go." They all started to walk towards the floo when Hermione turned to check on Harry. He went from being having a greenish tinge to being as white as snow.

Hermione saw that he started to sway alarmingly and started to fall forward. Thankfully Sirius was there to catch him. He picked Harry up and asked, "What the hell happened down there?"
