Chapter Five-

Walking down the street, Harry looked up when he was walking past Gringotts.

'Maybe I should see what's in some of my vaults.' Harry said to himself before making his way up the steps and into the building.

Moving over to one of the goblins at the main desk, Harry waited for her to acknowledge his presence.

"Can I help you?" She asked without looking up.

"I'm looking for Matterhorn is he still here?" Harry asked.

"He's with one of his clients...I assume you are one as well?"

"Yes, I wanted to go down to one of my vaults."

"Well since he's busy and that's all you want to do I suppose I can bring you. What vault?"

"Number 245, it was one I received on my sixteenth birthday. I don't know if you will have the key or if you do something else for that." Harry said honestly.

"Come with me you'll just need to put a drop of blood on the door to open it then." The goblin said leading Harry over to the carts.

'What's with all this blood use?' Harry thought to himself as the cart took off at full speed heading towards Harry's vault.

Stumbling slightly when the cart came to sudden stop, Harry stepped off and followed the goblin over to the vault. He watched as the goblin walked over to the vault and pressed her hand against the door then stepped back. A second later a line of tubes seemed to emerge from inside the door.

Deciding to ask his question, Harry looked at the goblin and said, "Why does it seem like you're always asking for blood?"

"Blood never lies." The goblin said. "Now you need to put your hand here above the starting tube."

Moving forwards, Harry placed his hand above the tube and a second later felt something poke his palm and his blood started to drip down and move through the tubing.

Pulling his hand back, Harry cast a quick healing charm on it and, just like his abused body, the spell quickly covered the wound in a soft glow then disappeared taking the wound with it.

After a few minutes of watching the blood go through the tubing, Harry was wondering what was supposed to happen, but before he could ask the door started to rumble and slid open revealing the inside of the vault.

"You said it's the blood I'm not related to the owner of this vault, how is it that my blood opened the vault?" Harry asked interested.

"The original person who had this vault would have come here before their death and willed the vault over to you by putting a drop of your blood on the vault door." The goblin answered.

Giving a slight nod of his head, Harry stepped into the vault and looked around the small vault. There wasn't much in the vault: a few stacks of galleons and sickles, most of the ground was taken up by a wooden chest that had an indent on the lid that was about 11 inches long.

Moving over to the chest, Harry sat down in front of it and tried to lift the lid only to feel a shock rush into his fingers and up his arm. Quickly pulling his hand away, Harry bit his lip and looked over the chest trying to figure out how to open it.

Standing up, Harry proceeded to walk around the vault looking for anything that might help him in opening the chest. Walking around the vault, he was walking past the darkest corner when his eyes caught sight of a darker mass in the shadow.

Reaching into the shadow, Harry grabbed a hold of the mass and pulled out a thin, long box. Opening the lid the first thing Harry saw was a wand. The next was a piece of paper either taped or glued to the top of the box.

Moving further into the light, Harry tilted the box back to read the paper.

To whoever may open this box:

The chest in the middle of this vault holds personal information for myself, Lily Evans. Personal things that I have come to regret doing as my time on this earth passes. To open the chest you need to place my wand in the lid of the chest. I know now what I did was wrong, but a person in love will do whatever they can to get that love...no matter who else it hurts. I will forever regret doing what I did and hope that in my next life I will be a better person to all.

Lily Evans.

Frowning, Harry stood up and moved back over to the chest and placed the wand in the indent and watched as a blue shield seemed to shimmer into existence before it shattered into pieces and disappeared again.

Waiting a few seconds after the shield disappeared to make sure it was done, Harry then reached out to the lid and lifted it up. Inside there were two piles of letters and a vial about half full of a clear liquid. Glancing at his watch, Harry decided to bring the chest back to his room with him.

Adding the box that the wand had been in, Harry shut the lid and taking out his own wand shrunk the chest then placed it in his pocket.

Climbing to his feet, Harry went out the door and jumped when the door slammed back into place as soon as he was through.

"I'm ready to go." Harry said to the waiting goblin.

Stepping back into the cart, Harry leaned back against it and tried to think of why the letters in the trunk had been so important that they had to be locked inside.

'What could be so important that Lily would lock the letters in? Nothing could be that bad.' Harry said to himself. When the cart came to a stop back at the top of Gringotts, Harry gave a distracted thanks to the goblin then made his way out of the bank.

Making sure his hood was still securely in place, Harry stepped out into the crowd and made his way back to the Leaky Cauldron.

Harry walked quickly but calmly so he wouldn't attract attention and gave a sigh of relief when he entered the Leaky Cauldron. Heading up the stairs to his room, Harry opened the door and jumped.

"I forgot you said you'd be waiting here." Harry admitted after seeing the concern on both of his fathers faces.

"Are you feeling better now?" Severus asked after Harry shut the door.

"Feeling better yes, but for long I don't know." Harry said pulling the trunk out. With a quick flick of his wand the trunk was back to normal size.

"Why, what is going on?" Lucius asked standing.

"This chest, I found it in the vault that Lily left me, and I had to open it by putting her wand in the lid. It only had some letters and a half full potions vial." Harry said setting his bag down.

"May I take a look at the potion?" Severus asked.

"I was hoping you would, it doesn't look like one you've ever talked about in our lessons." Harry said. "But right now it's getting late and I'm tired and hungry so if you don't mind I'd like to finish this tomorrow."

"Of course, Severus and I shall take a room here and we will talk to you again in the morning." Lucius said looking slightly perturbed.

"Good, thanks." Harry said smiling.

Giving him a soft smile, Lucius placed a hand on Harry's shoulder then headed for the door followed by Severus who took another look at Harry before walking out.

Grinning, Harry tossed his cloak off and grimaced at his worn out clothes. Grabbing his bag Harry grabbed a clean pair of boxers out and went into the bathroom to take a shower and change into his clothes for bed. Stepping into the shower, Harry's stomach let out a loud growl.

"Shower, food, then bed." Harry said out loud. "That sounds like a plan."

Chapter Six-

Harry was awoken the next morning to a persistent knocking on his door. Glancing at the watch on his wrist, Harry was surprised to see it was nearing eleven in the morning. Rolling out of bed, he shuffled over to the door rubbing at his eyes.

Opening the door, Harry made sure to keep his body behind it and poked his head around the side.

"Good morning." Harry said before a loud yawn passed his lips.

"Are you just waking?" Severus asked looking at him in concern.

"Yeah, I'm still recuperating." Harry said before realizing what he said and tensed up.

"Recuperating from what?" Lucius asked narrowing his eyes.

"I...I had a late night." Harry said avoiding their eyes. "Do you want to come in?" He asked stepping away from the door.

When they stepped in, Harry turned so they couldn't see the long, thin scar that ran across his back. Moving back over to his bed, Harry made sure that they were in front of him until he grabbed his bag.

"Let me change and then we can talk." Harry said swinging his bag onto his back so the scar was hidden. Rushing into the bathroom, he pulled out a pair of his black leather pants and a green silk shirt.

After making sure everything fit right, Harry stepped back out into the room and set his bag back down.

"We called down for breakfast, it should be up soon." Lucius said from his seat at the table.

Nodding his head, Harry moved over to Lily's chest in the corner and opened it. Pulling out the two separate stacks of letters, Harry set them aside then pulled out the vial. Picking up the letters, he moved over to the table and took the last remaining chair.

"This is the potion that I told you about yesterday." Harry said holding it out for Severus to take.

"There aren't many potions that turn out clear like this." Severus said taking it from Harry carefully. Carefully pulling the stopper out Severus lifted the vial to his nose and sniffed the liquid. "Odorless as well, that narrows it down to two things it could be: an aphrodisiac or a poison."

"Are you going to create the potion to tell us what it is?" Lucius asked glaring at the half filled vial.

"I shall have to, it's too dangerous to taste it to see what it is."

"The letters might tell us." Harry said looking at the two piles he had been glancing at.

"Do you have any idea of what the letters contain?" Lucius asked turning his attention to the letters.

"As far as I can tell they're correspondence between Lily and Dumbledore, I haven't had a chance to read over them though." Harry answered without looking up from the letters he was looking at.

"How long does it take to make the diagnostic potion Severus?" Lucius asked.

"A month. If I started now it would be done before the new school year started." Severus said.

"I don't know what you think, but I think you should get it started in case the letters don't tell us what kind of potion it is." Harry said.

"That is a good idea. Harry I would like it if you would come stay with me at Hogwarts or with Lucius at his home."

"I can't, Dumbledore doesn't know that I left the Dursley's and he'll try to make me go back if he finds out that I'm not there. Something is telling me not to let him know that just yet." Harry said seeing their looks.

"If that is what you want, but I would rather not have you staying in this place" Lucius said looking distastefully around the room.

"I'm not, I'm going to go to one of the houses I inherited. Set it up and stay there when I'm not in school." Harry said without really thinking it over.

"Harry that is not a good idea, you are only sixteen, how would you be prepared to live alone?" Lucius protested.

"Somehow I don't think I'll be alone that much." Harry said giving them both a look.

"Maybe not, but are you sure you would not be more comfortable staying with Severus or myself?" Lucius asked.

"No, not yet anyway. Besides Draco and I don't exactly get along." Harry said thinking of the fights they had gotten into. "When was the last time you saw Draco anyway?" Harry asked.

"Three or four days, we have been so busy trying to find you and now finding out that James is still alive and out there somewhere..." Lucius said.

"Look I can look through these by myself and fill you in, but Draco needs you too fa..."Harry said stopping himself trying to figure out what he should call Lucius.

"I suppose, however I would feel more useful staying and helping you go over these letters."

"No, you need to go and spend time with Draco. I know what it's like growing up without having a parent to look up to and ask questions. I didn't have you then, Draco has you. He needs you right now and I don't want to make him think I'm trying to steal you." Harry said speaking truthfully.

"Shouldn't we be the ones giving you this kind of advice?" Severus asked with a slight smile.

"More often then not." Harry said.

After a few minutes of sitting there staring at each other, Lucius gave a sigh and said, "Fine, but as soon as you find something out I want you to fire call me at the manor. To get through you shall need to say, 'Lucius Malfoy's private study, Malfoy Manor."

Standing from his seat, Lucius placed a hand on Harry's shoulder then turned towards Severus. Moving over Severus walked with Lucius towards the door and they talked quietly for a few seconds before Lucius left tossing a goodbye over his shoulder to Harry.

"Telling you to check on me later?" Harry asked when Severus turned back around.

"We just found you Harry, you're our son we don't want to lose you now." Severus said in a tone Harry had never heard from him before.

"You won't, I'm rather resilient."

"Nonetheless I shall stop by after I add the last ingredient that can be added this week and the potion is simmering." Severus said heading for the door.

"Before you go, what do you think the potion is?" Harry asked.

"As much as I don't want it to be, I am almost positive that it is an aphrodisiac." Severus answered seeming to hesitate at the door.

"I know we have more to talk about, we can do it after we find my mum." Harry said with a grin on his face.

"If James ever hears you call him that...I don't know what he'd do." Severus said. "I'll be back later to see how you're doing."

"See you later." Harry said then watched as he walked out of the room.

With a grin still on his face, Harry turned back to the letters piled in front of him and was about to start going over them when a knock sounded on the door. Standing Harry made his way to the door and opened it slightly to see who it was.

"We have yous breakfast sir, we wasn't sure if yous wanted to be disturbed." The house elf said wringing its small hands together.

"Thank you for considering that and for waiting for my guests to leave." Harry said accepting the tray from the small elf.

"You is welcome sir." The house elf said smiling before popping off.

Shaking his head at the energy that all house elves seemed to have, Harry shut the door and made his way back over to the table and sat the tray down.

Dropping down into his chair Harry grabbed the first letter with the earliest date on it which was from Dumbledore to Lily.

Ms. Lily Evans,

It has come to my attention that certain people have become intimate with one another. As you are to be a prefect I would like for you to keep an eye on them (James Potter, Severus Snape, and Lucius Malfoy) and inform me of any misconduct that you see or think may be happening.

Professor Albus Dumbledore

"Ok, so he's concerned about students starting an intimate relationship...I don't think there's anything wrong with that." Harry said to himself while picking at the food in front of him.

Grabbing the next letter Harry flipped it open and scanned over it.

Ms. Lily Evans,

Thank you for informing me of the situation with Mr. Potter, Mr. Snape, and Mr. Malfoy. It seems to be worse then I originally thought. Continue to keep an ever watchful eye on them and inform me of what you may see.

Professor Albus Dumbledore

Frowning Harry set aside the letter and quickly grabbed the next.

Ms. Lily Evans,

How is it that you came by this information? I have known the Potter family for years, ever since they started to attend Hogwarts. How did you come by the information that the Potters are supporters of Tom Riddle? I expect an answer immediately.

Professor Albus Dumbledore

Setting aside that letter Harry practically dove for the next.

Ms. Lily Evans,

How dare you ask what's so bad about Tom Riddle! That man goes on about how muggleborns should never be allowed into Hogwarts...no not just into Hogwarts. He wants to eradicate every living muggleborn. Yes that's it he thinks that they are beneath him and every other pureblood. That is why I MUST know how you found out that the Potter's support him. If they are a danger to the wizarding world and my plan then we must know so we can stop them.

I do not mean to sound forceful, but now that you know why I need to know you should understand. It is imperative that you respond as soon as possible.

Professor Albus Dumbledore.

Looking at the next sheet of paper Harry realized it wasn't a letter just a note that Lily had made to herself.

--Corresponding with Professor Dumbledore is starting to seem different. Remember to make copies of my letters to keep in my files.--

Looking to the next letter confirmed to Harry that it was indeed a copy of Lily's next letter.

Professor Dumbledore,

I'm sorry that I questioned you about needing to know. I was following James and his lovers and I overheard a conversation about meeting over the summer at Mr. Riddles home while their parents were meeting with the man. And from what you told me the man sounds horrible. Why James would even think about stepping foot in his home I shall never know.

Also on the subject of summer I shall prepare myself to continue watching James and the others if I see them while I am in Diagon Alley or any other place.

Lily Evans.
