Chapter VI: Inheritances
888
Three weeks had past with the six hunters hip deep in wedding plans and preparations. Molly insured that the six couldn't be alone for more than a minute. But, due to the arrival of a letter from Gringotts informing Harry that he needed to show up on his birthday to fully inherit his family's fortune, the six had planned to rendezvous that this afternoon out in the middle of the woods. Harry was the first to get to the meeting place. About five minutes later, Ron trudged up.
"Bloody hell, if mum's going to get all worked up about Bill's wedding, I hate to think of the fuss she'll make over the rest of our weddings."
"I doubt she'll want to make such over mine," Harry replied.
"Look mate, if I were in your shoes I'd pick Jadis as well. Hell, I'd try for her if she didn't scare me."
"You're not mad because..."
"If my sister did what she did just to make you jealous so you'd go out with her, then I'm ok."
"I don't know...I have a bad feeling because of that soul fragment in me I'd have to sacrifice myself so that someone else could finish Voldemort. I'd probably do it if it were protecting Ginny and everyone else, but now that Jadis is here, I want to live past this war."
"At one time, you told me you'd give anything to be in my shoes. Being the youngest brother of six is almost as hard as being the-boy-who-lived. Especially with a mother who dumps a bunch of expectations that you can't live up to but you have to try anyway. To top it all off, she makes a flippant comment back during the summer before our second year about how your best female friend would make a good wife for you. You still want my life?"
"Ron," Harry quietly said, "I didn't know that. I'm sorry."
"It's alright. Luna helped me to realize that I shouldn't have to live up to such expectations, and that me and Hermione wouldn't work. We just fight way too much."
"A week with Luna did all that?" Harry asked, arching an eye brow.
"Had much of no choice but to talk to her."
Harry knew what that meant. Luna somehow knew that Mrs Weasley was the one that was pushing Ron towards Hermione, so the Ravenclaw decided to head her off at the pass.
"Hey," Viktor said, coming to the pair, "the girls should be behind me."
"What's keeping them?" Ron complained.
"Your mother," Hermione growled and conjured a blanket. "I swear I've never in countered someone that is so overbearing and assertive in my life!"
Harry, at this point, tuned out the rest of Hermione's rant, seeing Jadis in that ice blue tank top and now jean shorts. His eyes were torn between her shapely legs and her equally as shapely breasts. She smirked at him as she sat cross legged on the blanket. Harry laid down, putting his head in her lap. She began combing her fingers through his hair. Viktor chuckled at the sight.
"Pampered pet," Viktor snickered.
"Tomorrow morning I'll be going to Gringotts," Harry began without paying any attention to Viktor's remark. "I'll inform the Order, but I only need Jadis's protection. I've got a bad feeling I'm about to get something that Dumbledore probably didn't think I'd be able to get."
"You act as if Dumbledore wanted you to sacrifice yourself," Hermione said.
"Exactly," Harry said and taps the ghost of a scar on his forehead. "This was a horcrux."
"What? How did you find out?" Hermione asked.
"When I pored all that magic from the wards to repair his core it drove away a piece of Voldemort's soul," Jadis explained.
"Fortunately, I somehow kept the Parseltongue ability,"
"I stripped the soul fragment. You've still got that magic that came with that unintentional horcrux," Jadis added.
You don't think...?" Hermione began to ask but Harry held his hand up to stop her.
"Let's not speak of him badly. He will have to answer for what he has done to those in higher authority. We don't have the time to speculate on what Dumbledore didn't or did have planned."

It was an odd gathering in one of the offices of Gringotts. Harry and Jadis were with Griphook, who was responsible for the Potter account, and most surprisingly Aberforth Dumbledore had shown up as well. Griphook handed over two small boxes to Harry.
"These are the family rings of the houses of Black and Potter. You are now the head of both of those houses," Griphook commented as Harry opened the boxes.
"How could I be the head of the House of Black?" Harry asked.
"Sirius's mother couldn't cast him fully out of the family. Only his father could do that. Since Sirius didn't have a falling out with his father, he was allowed to become the head of his house. When he wrote his will, he named you the successor. You couldn't take the mantle of head of house until today," Griphook explained. Harry took the black gold ring with a black stone in the center and put it on his left middle finger. The Potter ring was platinum gold with a large emerald in the center. This ring was placed on Harry's left ring finger.
"Now, I think that Mr. Dumbledore has some business with the Houses of Black and Potter," Griphook said and motioned for Aberforth to state his wishes.
"I know I'm about to ruffle your feathers, boy, but let me finish and then you can rant and rave. My brother only saw the big picture all the time. He never considered the individuals under his leadership. Any sacrifice was for the 'greater good'. I've never liked his way of thinking. He forgot that those that followed him are human beings. Having you go to your muggle relatives instead of one of the clan members's houses was a grave mistake. You might have turned out the way you did from being raised by those muggles, but you know nothing of the wizarding world. My brother probably thought you to die as you destroyed that snaked face mad man. He was grooming you to be a sacrificial lamb. The other members of the Dumbledore clan disagreed with Albus, but being the head of the clan no one could disagree. His death has brought forth a power vacuum that I can't fill. Therefore, I, Aberforth Dumbledore, head of the clan of Dumbledore, hereby transfer head of House of Dumbledore and Clan Dumbledore over to the head of the House of Potter and Black, Harry James Potter Black."
Harry's jaw hit the floor. What had Aberforth done?
"What do you mean by 'Clan Dumbledore'?" Harry asked.
"A wizarding clan is a collection of magical families under one name. This gives the House of Potter unprecedented power in the Wizengamot," Griphook explained. Harry swayed on his wobbly legs. Jadis stood behind him to support him. Just what had he done to be burdened with all this responsibility?
