Chapter 1- The Package and The Will


It was almost midnight at 4 Private Drive when an owl came into second floor windows. The owl sat and watched a boy count down the minutes until it was his birthday. The boy, however, had not noticed the owl yet.

"5...4....3...2...1...," the boy sighed.

It was hard to believe that a few years ago, he had found out that he was special. He was not only a wizard, but the only one that could defeat a madman. He had lost a lot already in his life. His godfather, Mother, and Father were taken out of his life by a stupid prophecy. Now that it was finally midnight, he looked around as he heard a soft hoot.

"Hello there. I am sorry." He said as he untied the package form the owls leg.

He gave the owl some water and owl treats before it left. This made Harry wonder where his snowy owl was. She hadn't come home for a week now. At first, he thought she was just out hunting, but she had never been gone this long. This only lead him to his next thought, Why had he stopped getting mail from his two best friends? They hadn't even sent him any birthday presents and here it was already his birthday. He decided he might as well open his package. As he looked inside, he found a golden egg with a note.

Dear Mister Potter,

This is part of your Godfather's Will that this will that this be delivered to you. The Will reading will be at Noon today. This letter will transport you to Gringotts at 9:00 a.m. as there are other issues that need to be discussed. Do not mention this letter or egg to anyone before the Will reading.

Yours in business,
Griphook, Gringotts Goblin

He just shook his head and wondered what could be so important and secretive. He was very interested in what Sirius had left him. He had only known him for a short time, but he was mentioned in his Will. He had grown close to Sirius in a very short time. He still had nightmares of Sirius falling through the Veil. He soon had found that Sirius's death was replaced by nightmares of Hermione's close brush with death. He shifted the note to find another note stuck to it. He began reading the second note.

Dear Harry,

To care for this egg leaves it in a stoked fire. The egg should hatch in about 24 hours. Make sure you are alone when the egg hatches as not to confuse it. I have left a book that you will get soon for the care of it after it hatches and remember don't tell anyone about it til after it hatches.

Sirius

As he finished reading the note, he looked over and saw it was six a.m. already. He had to get his 'chores' done if he was going to get to Gringotts on time. He was finally done with the breakfast and gardening by the eight, and ran upstairs and changed into his robes. He took hold of the letter and felt a familiar tug at his navel. He was greeted by a small goblin.

"Afternoon Mr. Potter" Griphook said eyeing Harry.

"Afternoon Griphook. May our coffers be filled by our business today." Said Harry barely keeping himself from laughing.

Griphook was eyeing him up and down. It wasn't often that a wizard greeted a goblin by goblin traditions and here was The Chosen one treating him as an equal. Griphook lead Harry into his office and offered him a seat.

"Let me get right down to business, Mr. Potter." Said Griphook taking his seat.

"Please call me Harry." Said Harry and added. "Yes let us get down to business."

"The Will states that the things that are to be given to you are to be done in Private. Now, you have already been given your egg. You have to sign a couple of things as well. Sirius Black has left you all his properties. He has also seen fit to grant you legal status since died before you turned 17. This also allows you to get what your parents have left you." Said Griphook handing Harry the papers with a quill.

Harry said nothing to this. He just started to sign the papers. He had finished signing everything by ten and was taken down to his new vaults. After everything had been settled, he still had to wait an hour for everyone else to show up. First to arrive for the regular reading of the Will was of course Hermione followed by Tonks, Dumbledore, Lupin, and the Malfoys. When everyone was, seated Griphook began to read the Will.

"I, Sirius Black, being of sound mind and body hereby leave the following:

To Narcissa and Beatrix: I leave nothing but a picture of by bum.

To Hermione: I leave you Harry. He will make you happy I am sure.

To Dumbledore: I leave you to your own devises, and the hope that they will bite you in the bum.

To Tonks and Lupin: I leave you one of my properties and ten thousand galleons. The property to be given by Harry.

To Harry: I give you your own life as well as what I couldn't enjoy while I was living. Please see that Lupin and Tonks are taken care of and do not let the Order use any of my properties any longer."

Griphook took Harry, Lupin, Tonks and Hermione into the office as everyone else left. Griphook gave Harry a list of the Black properties. It didn't take long before Harry chose the former HQ of the Order for Tonks and Lupin. Once they had everything settled, Lupin invited Harry over in a week so they could have a talk. When Tonks and Lupin left, Griphook gave Harry the Potter and Black family rings as well as a package.

"If you will excuse us, I need a word with Hermione about where I am going to live now." Said Harry.

"Of Course, Lord Potter-Black." Said Griphook as he went out of the room.

"So Hermione, help me find a place on here to live" Harry said with his wicked smile.

"How about this one?" Hermione said pointing to Potter's Keep.

They called Griphook back in and set up Harry moving into Potter's Keep. He would have to wait a week for Griphook to get the Required House Elves and the building ready to live in. Harry, however, did not want to go back to the Private Drive.

"You can come and stay with me until it is ready, Harry." Said Hermione. She blushing at the thought of Harry staying with her. She had kept it a secret since the first year that she had a crush on her best friend. She wasn't happy that Dumbledore had told her that she couldn't write him. She hadn't totally believed his reason either. Why now of all times would it be dangerous or at least more dangerous to write Harry.

"Sounds great, Mione but I still have to go back to the Dursley's for a couple of days. Tell you what give me two days and have your parents come pick me up. Who knows you might be able to talk them into letting you stay the rest of the summer with me at my new house." Said Harry hoping that would be the case. He still had to hatch the egg and read the letters and books that Sirius had left him.

Harry and Hermione left. Harry heading back to the Dursley's by a portkey that Griphook had kindly made. Once he reached his bedroom and was locked in, Harry made a fire and put the egg in it hoping it wasn't a dragon, and started reading the letters.

Dear Harry,

If you have received this letter, we must be long dead. Your father and I wish we could have been there for you while you grew up. Dumbledore has just convinced us to have Peter be our secret keeper. He said it was too widely know how close your father and Sirius are. You should be getting this letter when you are a legal adult. Hopefully you have also gotten my last present a golden phoenix egg. It wasn't easy to find. I am hoping it will keep you safe. I am afraid Dumbledore is too wrapped up in the prophecy and that is why I have left this letter with Sirius. I advise you not to trust Dumbledore as since you have received this letter either Peter or Dumbledore has betrayed us. I will always love you, Harry.

Love Forever,
Lily Potter, your mom


Dear Harry,

I have to warn you. Dumbledore is using you. I have found out that he has not been training you and he is keeping me locked up in the house. I managed to sneak away long enough to change my Will. I assume you know this as you should have received this letter at my Will reading. I would advise you to only trust Tonks, Lupin, and Hermione. I have heard Ron, Dumbledore, and Ginny plotting your life. I have left you various spell books and other things you might need to be delivered to you when you choose a place to live. I hope by these time you have gotten Lily's gift and have started to hatch it. A word to the wise Phoenixes attach themselves to the first thing they see good or evil. Just because someone has a Phoenix doesn't make them a good person. I am sorry that I am no longer with you, and Harry its about time you tell Hermione how you feel. I mean everyone but you two know you like each other. Take care of yourself. I will be watching over you.

Sincerely,
Sirius Black, your godfather


Dear Harry,

There are a few things I think you should know. I have left you a book on Parsletounge Magic as Parsletounge seems to run in the family. Also, I have left you a book on animegus transformations and legmancy. There is also a large library at Potter's Keep that you can use. Lily has always been a bookworm and if the Potter family tradition holds up I bet you will fall in love with one too. Although I trust Dumbledore, Lily is has me starting to think he has his own agenda. I have started to catch him lying to the members of the Order. Since you have gotten this letter, Lily and I are probably dead. I think its time to teach you a simple spell to unlock your abilities that we had to seal. Sorry son but you were just too powerful for your own good. You will have to have someone you trust cast it on you. The spell is "Vincium Tolli.” It will unlock your Airomouth, and power limit placed on you as well as any other limits that were placed on you that since. We love you son.

Love,
James Potter, your father

By the time Harry was finished reading the letters, he was already thinking about how many times Dumbledore had kept information from him. He couldn't count how many times Dumbledore was not there when he needed him. How it felt like Dumbledore had been reading his mind. Why had Dumbledore had Snape teach him instead of doing it himself? Snape only seemed to make his mind weaker rather then stronger.

After an hour, Harry's thoughts turned toward Ron. Ron had seen the Dursley's yet he acted like Harry had the prefect life. Ron had accused him of putting his own name in the Goblet of Fire. It was always about money and fame for his not so best friend. Ron was so proud to be a pureblood and never seen anything wrong with how House Elves were treated. Ron had the one thing Harry had ever wanted, a family, but still felt the need to try to beat Harry at everything.

Harry's mind then moved to Ginny. Ginny had been trying to get with Harry since her first year at Hogwarts. Ginny still hadn't tried to learn what Harry was really like. Ginny like her brother only cared about money and fame. Harry had to face it Ginny didn't want Harry she wanted 'The Boy That Lived'. Ginny had only joined the DA so she could spend it trying to get Harry to notice her. Harry suddenly came to realize that Ginny was nothing more then a Fan Girl and that is the last thing he needed in a girlfriend.

The thing that puzzled Harry though was Hermione. She was always there for him. Hermione knew him better then he knew himself. It was true that they were on the line between friend and lover in the way they acted toward each other. Harry had not asked out Hermione because he didn't want her to leave him if she didn't feel the same. Sirius's letter though made it seem as it might be mutual. There had always been rumors about the two of them going out since the second year. Harry would just have to talk to Hermione Monday and with that he turned and look at his clock it was already eight p.m. and he needed some sleep.

Sunday, Harry found himself locked in his room. He hadn't bothered to tell the Dursley's he could use magic now. He just still thinking about the events of yesterday. It wouldn't be long before the egg hatched and he would get to leave for Hermione's. Hedwig had finally returned feathers missing and in a very bad mood. He had to remember to ask her what was wrong when he had his Airomouth ability unlocked.
