The great four
Aros already waited for them when they came back to Gringotts.
“Mr. Potter my supervisor asked me to take you to him when you return. Please follow me and I have to ask that you come alone.” He turned and Harry followed him through a door he never stepped foot in before. Hermione and Ron moved to follow him, but Snape shook his head and told them to stay. Aros let Harry threw a long corridor and another door before he came to a stop. He put the palm of his hand against a blank wall and a passageway appeared. Before Harry could enter the room, a goblin came his way and extended his hand to him.
“Lord Potter it is nice to see you today. My name is Leroy. Aros told me that you are ready to claim your right to Hogwarts. It´s not difficult. We can do it right now if you wish so.” Harry looked at him.
“It is nice to meet you, Leroy. Yes, I would like that. What do I have to do?”
“Very well. You have to stay in the exact centre of this circle.” He pointed on a silver circle that floated a few inches over the stone floor.
“I will summon the spirits of the founders who will tell you everything you need to know.” Harry nodded and stepped into the circle. He felt a warm tickle in his legs as the line touched him on his way in.
“A little to the left please.” Leroy said and Harry complied. “Perfect. Let us start.”
Harry felt awkward standing there, while the goblin walked around the circle summoning the great four in a language Harry didn´t understand so he closed his eyes. He stood there for at least 15 minutes caught up in his thoughts before a clearing of someone´s throat got his attention, and he opened his eyes. His jaw dropped when he recognized the four founders standing before him. He would have thought they would appear in a spirit form similar to ghosts, but they seemed to be made out flesh and bone.
How is that possible? He thought as he tried to process what was happening. A woman with kind eyes looked at him and started speaking.
“We waited so long for you, little heir. I am Helga Hufflepuff, I think you can figure out who is who?” She pointed at her companions. Harry nodded still not quite trusting his eyes.
“Back in our time we found a spell that allowed us to persevere a part of our spirit so we can pass on our gifts to our heir.” Helga told him.
“Gifts?” Harry asked.
“Yes, little lion. Gifts,” said the man Harry knew to be Gryffindor. “We all have one or two talents that are rather useful and that will help you a great deal in the future. You will also receive power from each of us, we can only give you a bit, but it will increase your power a lot since you get some of us all. I guess you will be the most powerful wizard that will walk this planet.” Godric told him.
“He is incredibly powerful already.” Rowena Ravenclaw said. “I can see his magical core and it´s bright. You, young man are very strong.” She smiled at him proudly.
“I think we should start!” said an impatient voice. “You know we can only be here for a limited amount of time.” He looked at them reproving.
“Your right Salazar.” Godric said. They made a circle around him and took each other´s hands, Harry was now in the centre of them.
“We welcome our heir,” they all spoke together. “He who has the blood of us four. We claim him ours right now, so he can receive what belongs to him. We command you heir, to take your responsibility´s seriously and to not abuse the power we bestow on you.” They stopped speaking as one and only Helga went on.
“You will be gifted with the ability to move the earth, catch the wind and part the sea. You shall be able to use the elements if you see need for it. I also gift you the understanding of plants and magical creatures.” It was Slytherin who spoke next.
“You will be gifted with the ability to speak to the ones who always speak the truths. You will be able to transform yourself in any snake. I also give you the gift of understanding potions so you will always be healthy and occlumency so you can protect your mind if need be.” Next in line was Ravenclaw.
“You will be gifted with great knowledge since knowledge is the greatest power. The ability to understand magic and the power to see and manipulate it. I also give you the gift of charms and transfiguration. You will be able to choose any Animagus form you like, at any given moment.” The last to speak was Godric.
“You will be gifted with the understanding of the dark arts and the ability to not let them consume you. Lastly, I will give you the ability to share your gifts with everyone who you find worthy. Only if their hearts are pure will they be able to receive the honour you bestow on them so that they will not be able to use your gifts against you.” After Godric finished the silver circle Harry was in centre off, shined brighter and brighter coming closer to Harry who felt the power boost when the magic entered him.
“We the founders of Hogwarts ask you to claim the school. Promise that you will always have the school’s best interest at heart. That you will do everything to protect it and all people who are there. Tell us now. Will you accept?”
“I will!!” Harry said.
“So, shall it be” said the founders together and in the next moment Harry´s world went black as he hit the floor.
Ten minutes later Harry opened his eyes. Only Leroy was in the room and Harry got up from the floor.
“I am sorry, but the ritual forbade me to move you from the floor.” The goblin said.
“No problem. Is it done? Is the school mine?”
“Yes, Lord Potter but not only the school. You will now have access to the founder’s vaults. Do you want to go there now?” he asked.
“No not without my friends. We have to go to the Potter and Black vaults as well.” Leroy nodded.
“Maybe it would be alright if Aros helps you with that. I have much to do. I am obligated to notify the world that the heir of the four has come to claim his inheritance.”
“Do you have to tell them who the heir is?” Harry asked.
“No, I don´t. Would you prefer to keep this quiet?”
“Yes and no. I hate to ask this of you, but I would like the public to know that the heir is a young woman. That this woman claimed the vaults of the heirs but hasn´t claimed the school yet, with the reason that she trusts the headmaster and wants him to continue his work at Hogwarts. If you are uncomfortable you don´t have to do it. Just tell them the heir came forward. It would be a good false trace though to keep my identity hidden until the time is here to reveal the truth to our world.” Harry looked at Leroy holding his breath. He knew that it was against a goblins nature to lie but he hoped Leroy would do him this favour. Leroy looked at him.
“Alright Harry Potter I will tell your story as you wished. I know you are a noble wizard, so I trust your judgement in this matter.”
“Thank you, Leroy I appreciate it.” Harry smiled and left the room for the entrance hall to meet his companions.
“Harry! There you are we were beginning to get worried.” Hermione said and gave him a hug.
“Yeah mate, what took so long. Did he had to explain so much to you. It can´t be that complicated to claim what is yours.” Ron said.
“No, actually I already claimed the school and received the gifts from the founders.” Harry said nonchalantly. They looked at him and Harry could sense the hundreds of questions coming his way. He shook his head and said:
“I will show you the memory later. Can we do this now? I really want to get this over with.”
“I agree,” Snape said. “It will not bode well when we take to long. We are already gone from school for quite some time. We should hurry a bit.” Harry nodded.
“I have to by one last thing later so let´s go.”
They spent the next three hours looking through all Harry´s vaults. It was so much that Harry decided that they should pack up all the books into the trunk. Harry also emptied the vault with the personal belongings from his parents so he could go threw them when he has the time. They filled the vault in the trunk and Harry sent Aros to change some of his gold into muggle money which they left in the vault as well.
Harry found a few things in his vault that would make great presents for the Weasleys. Harry wanted to thank them for all they´ve done for him so he packed them up to give to them later. When they came to the last vault Harry asked Ron and Hermione to pack up everything, they deem useful and asked Snape to come with him to run his last arrent. After Harry bought his contact lenses, they hurried back to Gringotts where Ron and Hermione waited for them.
“Let´s get back. It was a long day.” Harry said. “Dinner should be in like an hour.” They apparated back to Hogsmeade and made their way back to the castle. Harry gave Snape the invisibility cloak and this time Snape threw it over him.
“Can we meet in the room of requirement after dinner professor?” Hermione asked.
“I think it would be better if you would come to my quarters again. My pensive is there and I am very curious how Potter claimed the school.”
“Yes, I want to see that too,” Ron said, “and I want my gift,” he said excited and looked at Harry who grinned.
“Good, see you after dinner then professor.” Harry said.
“See you then,” was Snape´s response before he turned around and swept through the front door of the castle. The three friends made their way to Gryffindor tower so they could freshen up before dinner.
