Two weeks later found Harry and Neville making their way to Gringotts. After Harry had been flashed back to his room at the Dursley’s by Fawkes.
The first thing he noticed was that everything was the same has how he had left it. Which means the Dursley’s never once checked on him he could have died. He was pretty sure they wouldn't have cared. He also noticed that there were no owls or the usual birthday presents from his friends. He tried not to feel hurt by that but in all honesty he was.
He couldn't understand what he had done to his friends to warrant their negative attitude towards him. Gathering all his things Harry pulled on his invisibility cloak. He made his way downstairs not bumping into his Uncle, Aunt or cousin. Once he reached outside he did not even give a backwards glance.
It’s time to start his new life he thought as he apparated from the apparition point around the corner.
Before they left the founders made sure that he and Neville were equipped to defeat Voldemort together. They had also taught them how to glamour they're appearance from everyone but each other.
As they reached the entrance and the main hall of Gringotts, seeing the familiar writing.
“Enter, stranger, but take heed,

Of what awaits the sin of greed.

For those who take, but do not earn,

Must pay most dearly in their turn.

So if you seek beneath our floors

A treasure that was never yours,

Thief, you have been warned, beware

Of finding more than treasure there”.
Before they could ask for help Griphook met them as soon as they stepped in the main hall. He bowed to them.
“Lord Potter, Lord Longbottom we have been awaiting your arrival.”
Both returning the bow acknowledged him. “May your gold grow and your enemies’ blood cover your blades

Master Griphook.”
For a second, Griphook was amazed by hearing the respectful greeting used by both wizard, as goblins, since they were “creatures,” most wizards look down upon by the wizards. But then replied with a slight bow again, “May your endeavors thrive and your enemies bleed by your hands.”
As he stood come this way he told them.
He led them to a room closing the door he. Waved his hand at the door wandlessly closing it and warding the room. This way no one would be able to hear what was being said. He took a seat in front of his desk. Piles of parchment that was not there before appeared.
“You can drop your glamour’s my Lords, this room is very secure.”
Both did as they were told. Taking a seat at the desk.
“Now Lord Longbottom lets start with you because you are already aware of your Lordship.”
He handed a few parchments to Neville he looked them over shaking his head as in agreement to what was on them. After looking them over he looked at Griphook who then handed him a dagger that seem to come out of nowhere, pricking his finger, letting a few drops of his blood drop on each. Harry peeked over at the parchments that were in Neville’s hand.

“Now Lord Longbottom because you are a Gryffindor and Ravenclaw Duke you are entitled to both signet rings which would you like to wear. You can wear both or if you choose just one?”
“I will wear the Gryffindor ring please.”
“Very well”
Griphook snapped his finger, two boxes with the Gryffindor and Longbottom crest was on it. He opened both boxes.
“I just need you to prick your finger again, let a few drops of blood drop on the ring of Gryffindor.”
Neville did as he was asked the ring start to glow; Griphook shook his head in approval. “ You have been accepted as the heir and duke of Gryffindor. Now take both the Longbottom. Put them on separate finger.”
Taking the rings Neville put the Longbottom ring on his right hand on his ring finger. On his left hand the Gryffindor ring next to his ring finger. With all of that done he looked at Griphook, again the goblin nodded in approval.
“Now Lord Potter there is a few things we need to go over. We have sent owls to you every year since you started Hogwarts.”
“I haven’t gotten any owls.”
“That’s unfortunate, we have tried to reach you on numerous occasions. We have also been in touch with your magical guardian Albus Dumbledore. He knew we needed to speak with you about the wishes of your parents and recently your Godfather.”
Seething to hear the news that the goblins have been trying to get in touch with him, or that Dumbledore was his magical guardian. He didn’t even know that his parents left a will, the fact that Dumbledore knew and kept all of this from him increased his mistrust in the Headmaster.
“Master Griphook, I was not aware that I had a magical guardian. I have lived with my muggle relatives since my parents died.”
“Now that you are here we can rectify the problem, we can also satisfy the wishes of your parents will.”
Griphook handed him three envelopes, they all had his name on them. They had three different handwritings. He was guess that they were from his parents and Sirius. He opened the first; it was from his mother.
My Dearest Son,
If you are reading this, it means that I have died. I hope that you have had a good life and I hope that your father, Sirius and Remus has not turned you into their littlest Marauder.
I wished that I were there to see what a wonderful young man you have grown up to be. I am proud of you. I know that you will have your father’s strength. It was one of the reasons why I fell in love with him.
By now you know that your father and I are in hiding. There is a mad man trying to kill us. There are so many things that I wish that I could say to you Harry. You are the light of our world, don't you ever forget that.
To the goblins, first, by chance that James and I do not survive. I leave the care of Harry to his father James Potter. James please do not despair Harry will need you. Remember I love you always.
Second, if in the event that James Potter is not able to care for Harry. I leave him in the care of Sirius Black. Sirius, teach him, guide him. Tell him about James and I never let him forget us.
Third, if Sirius cannot care for Harry I leave him with two people I trust the most. Remus Lupin and Severus Snape. Yes, I know about you two, I have known since our fifth year. I am pretty sure James and Sirius does not know because they would have kicked Severus arse. And, as to how I knew I followed you Severus one day when you went to meet Remus. I trust you both to show Harry love. Love that his father and I were not able to give him. Take care of him; protect him. Be the parents that we could not be.
Last by not least, I do not want Harry to go to my sister Petunia. I know that she is my only blood relative. She is a vile woman. He and her husband are bigots; they hate anyone and anything to do with magic. I fear that if Harry ends up with them he will not have a good life.
I leave this last message to whoever is taking care of my pride and joy. I DO NOT TRUST ALBUS DUMBELDORE. There are things that I have seen that have made me call into question his actions. The prophecy he spoke of I have reason to believe is either fake or have been misinterpreted.
I have questioned his motives, and actions. I have been trying to find the truth. The only ones I have voiced my concerns to are James, Frank & Alice Longbottom. I have reasons to believe that Dumbledore is hiding something. Please find the truth.
Remember Harry I love you always.
Your Mother,

Lily
___________________________________________________________________
Trying not to cry from reading his mother's letter. He felt him-self getting to that point after reading his mom’s letter and request. Harry picked up the next envelopes; he opened it and saw that it was Sirius.
Hey Pup,
I guess if you're reading this then I am dead. I know you Harry; I know that you are thinking that my death is your fault. Do not blame yourself. My death is not your fault. Protecting you is my only priority.
I’m sorry pup. I am sorry that on the night your parents died I did not stay with you. I am sorry that I was not there for every step in your upbringing. I’m sorry for every pain those muggle gave you and I was not there to protect you from it. I hope what I am about to do will make up for everything.
I love you pup. Know that your parents are proud of the man that you are and will become.
Hey pup; when you get rid of old moldyshorts do it with a smile on your face.
LAST WILL & TESTAMENT
I Sirius Black, of sound my and gorgeous body declare this as my last will and testament.
To Remus I leave Fifty thousand galleons, buy some new clothes Remmy (no give backs), spend it on the brooding bat. I also leave him the Raglan cottage off the coast of Ireland. Make it a home with Severus. Yes, I knew I saw you meeting him on the map one day in our sixth year. Be happy Remus.
To Severus first let me say. I am sorry for the mean tricks that and pranks I played on you when we were in school. I let childish pettiness get in the way and we could have been true friends. Make him happy Severus; find a cure for him I know you can do it. To Severus Snape I leave seventy thousand galleons.
I Sirius Black Lord of the Most Ancients house Black hereby disinherit Bellatrix Lestrange nee Black from the house of Black. I hereby, reinstate Nymphadora Tonks back in to the Most Ancient house of Black.
I Sirius Black hereby, name my godson, Harry James Potter, my heir. He shall receive the title Lord Black and the Black family vaults and estate. I hereby name John Remus Lupin as Harry godfather.
Last but not least, Harry, there is so many things that I wanted to say to you. But every time I tried to get you alone someone interrupts us. One thing I have noticed pup is they cannot be trusted. Trust no one but Remmy and Snape. They are the only two besides myself I believe have your best interest at heart. They will protect and teach you. The others are lying to you. I have had a niggling feeling that Dumbledore is lying to us about the prophecy and Voldemort.
Ask yourself this Harry, why was it I was sent to Azkaban when Dumbledore was the one who cast the fidelius charm. He was there when we worked out who the secret keeper was. My mistake was running after Peter. Yet, Dumbledore could have asked for my retrial. After all he is the supreme Mugwump. The leader of the light, everyone listens to him. But, he didn’t Harry. I was left to rot in Azkaban and you were sent to live with those dreadful relatives.
I know that I am going off on a tangent. But, find the answers and the truth for yourself Harry. I know that you can do it. I have faith in you pup. I love you!
Your Godfather,

Sirius
Harry sat there stunned. The second important person in his life to question Dumbledore motives. If they had so little trust in him why did they follow his lead in everything? He had to find out there are too many unanswered questions swirling around in his head.
Hearing a throat clear Harry looked up from Sirius letter to see Griphook holding a box in his hand. He opened it and Harry saw that it held several rings.
“These rings belong to Black family. You may choose to wear entitled to Lord Black. ”
Griphook picked up the ring belonging to Lord Black, handing it to Harry. He slipped the ring onto his ring finger on his right hand. The ring shrunk to pit his finger. It glowed and a tingling sensation ran through his body.
He looked up and nodded to Griphook for them to continue. Picking up the last letter, which was from his dad, Harry started to read.
My Prongslet,
I am sorry I was not there to see you grow to become the man I know you will be. I know that you have been told stories about the madman that is chasing after us. He is trying to kill us all. Your mother and I are doing everything that we possibly can to keep you safe. There are provisions in place just in case your mother and I both die.
I want you to know Harry we love you. The day I found out that your mother was carrying you, I was terrified. I was terrified because I did not know if I would be a good father to you. On the day that you were born, the medi-witch put you in my arms, the moment your green eyes looked into mine. I knew that I would do anything to protect you and keep you safe.
I hope that with the time I had with you I did a good job. I hope that one day you will find the same if not a deeper love that your mother and I had. My greatest hope is that you would never have to read this. But, I fear Voldemort will find us and we will not survive. Which is why I included this in my letter to you.
LAST WILL & TESTAMENT
I James Charlus Potter of sound mind and body declare this my last will and testament. I hereby name my son, Harry James Potter heir. He shall be emancipated at the age of sixteen and receive the title of Lord Potter. He shall also, receive full access to the Potter vaults and estates.
If his mother Lily Potter nee Evans cannot care for Harry, he will go to the care of Sirius Black his godfather. Sirius I know that you will care for my Prongslet as if he was your own.
If Sirius is unable to care for Harry, he is to be put in the care of John Remus Lupin and Severus Snape. I know that they will watch and care for him. I also leave fifty thousand galleons each. Buy some new clothes Moony. I also leave you the books you have coveted in my parents’ library. Do as you wish with them. Snape take care of my best friend if hurt him I will hunt you for the rest of your life. I leave you both the Potter cottage in Scotland.
Prongslet, I leave you with these final words. Do not trust the twinkling blue eyes, behind them lies nothing but deceit and betrayal. I found out two late, there was nothing I could do to stop it in time. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
I am proud and love you Harry. Live your life for you and no one else.
Your Father,

James
After reading the letter from his father, Harry kept his head down. Tears were streaming from his eyes. He could not hold them back. In the span of two weeks he had cried more than he has ever did. His parents and Sirius did not trust Dumbledore. From Sirius’s letter it seems that his friends cannot be trusted either. Sirius said to trust Snape. But he was not sure because he knew Snape hated him.
Getting him-self under better control. He looked at Griphook. Again, there was another box in his hand this time Harry recognized the Potter crest. Opening the box Griphook took out the Potter Lordship ring.
“You, can put this on the same finger with that of the Black Lordship ring. They will meld together.”
Harry did as he was told. Both the Black and Potter crest became one. Both rings went from red and black to for the symbol of yin and yang.
Moving on to the next stop where the paperwork for the Black and Potter vaults. Each vaults had a substantial amount of galleons. Harry knew that both the Potter and Blacks family were apart of the old Pureblood family. He also, knew that they were rich in there own right. Combing all of the vaults together made Harry richer than even the Malfoys.
“Now, I just need you to prick your finger, drop at least three drops of blood on each document. Then we can move on to the next part.” Harry did as he was told.
Griphook gave Harry a copy of his birth certificate. He also, gave him a copy for his personal records parchments of his vaults and estates.

Ok, now Harry was completely dumbstruck, he just keeps on getting surprised at every turn. He was a descendant of the Peverell’s, he thought they were a myth. How much more can he take. Snape was his magical guardian. He felt as if his life was filled with nothing but secrets and lies.
“Griphook, who has been look after my estates?”
“That would be Albus Dumbledore”
“But it says here that Professor Snape is my magical guardian. Does anyone else know about this?”
“On the night your parents died. Albus Dumbledore had their will sealed with the authorization from the ministry. He told them he was your magical guardian, and at the request of your parents your were to be sent to a safe place. From the way that your life has gone, I doubt anyone knows.”
Harry was seething; he could not believe the manipulations that the headmaster has done. Then he had a thought.
“If he is my magical guardian, wouldn't I also assume that a monthly stipend would be given to them to take care of me?”
“Yes, they would be able to access your vaults to provide for you. When you reach the age of eleven your vault key would be given to you. We also keep a record of who has access to your vaults will also be given to you. With your given permission of course”
Harry’s brow creased at that statement, the only one he gave permission to once was Mrs. Weasley. Looking over the rest of the parchment he gasped at the names of who entered his vaults with out his permission.
Albus Dumbledore –November 1981-Present

Molly Weasley –June 1991-Present

Ronald & Ginerva Weasley, August 1991- Present

Hermione Granger August 1992-Present
He couldn't take it anymore. The people he trusted and thought were his family has been stealing from him his whole life. Harry was completely heart broken.
Pulling him-self together, Harry finished up with the goblins. Out his three Dukedoms, he decided to wear the Slytherin ring. Like Neville he had to prick his finger, it glowed to show he was accepted. He put it on his left hand next to his ring finger. He told Griphook to make sure that his parents and Sirius wishes were carried out.
Before he left Gringotts, he told Griphook he wanted all outside access to his vaults closed. He was awarded new keys. They were both given a card that connected to their vaults. This way they would not have to carry a pouch or come back to Gringotts each time they needed money. Griphook told him anything that he needed, the Goblin nation stands behind him. They will aide him in his fight against Dumbledore and Voldemort.
He and Neville decided that it was time for him to look the part of a Duke. Shopping was on there to do list for the day. Putting their glamour back on they walked out of Gringotts. Making their way to the more upscale part of Diagon Alley. Harry bought clothes that actually fit. With the help of the attendants, Harry felt and looked like a new person.
With two weeks left before the start of school, Harry and Neville decided to take a vacation. They bought some clothes to wear on vacation. They made their way to Diagon Alley, and, got their school shopping to get that out of the way. This year Harry promised himself things will be different. No longer will he be made a fool of. Remembering his father's words
“Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer”
