Hello people. I was just bored and decided I would write my first 'Post-Hogwarts' story. I have a few ideas for the story and I honestly won't tell them to you unless you guess a portion of my plans. I also wanted to thank the over 100 people who have either favorite-ed or followed my story call Potter's Portable Potents. A very special thanks goes to those who have supported me from this site and I hope you enjoy my latest story.
Fruits of Perseverence:
Chapter 1: Inheritance
Three months have passed since the real defeat of Voldemort. Three weeks have passed since he had been trying to look through all of his properties with little help from the Goblins. Three days since he made an offer for the Goblin Director to return the sword Godric Gryffindor had taken from them all those years ago. He was no longer waiting for a reply. A goblin was currently inside his kitchen starting to go over the papers he asked for help with since he has the sword strapped to his little back.
"Potter, I am afraid for the rest of the dealings we will have to visit Gringotts and have you take an inheritance test. It is the best thing that you can do to find all of your assets and it is possible that there are several families who willed the last of their belongings to the 'Conquerer of the Dark Lord' or some other person. If you did this you will find the entire list of belongings to you and yours." Harry almost groans at the thought of more wealth. Sighing he stands up.
"Can we go have it done now?" Lurnott, the goblin helping him, nods as he stands too. Lurnott offers his arm and Harry follows it expecting apparation. To his great surprise their surrounding just became shades before they were overlapped by more shades that became solid until they were completely real. "Wow, that was surprisingly pleasant!"
Lurnott ignores his comment as he opens the door and waits for him to follow. Harry falls into step beside him and after a few minutes they arrive outside the 'Potter Accounts Office' and they entered. Harry waited until Lurnott motioned for him to sit in order to do such and Harry couldn't help the urge to apologize again. "I can't help but apologize again for breaking into the bank to steal the Horcrux. It was the only way that I could use to kill Voldemort for good."
Lurnott ignores his apology again before Harry remembers something. "If it is able to make things better I can pay for the damages to the bank; I am sure I have enough money for almost anything. I should have explained things to your people but if I had been seen in public I might have been caught and killed. I am not stingy so I am willing to pay as much as you and your kin deem necessary." Lurnott's eyes narrow with suspicion before Harry pouts. "Oh come on! Go ahead and read my mind if you need to in order to believe me! I freely grant you permission and you can even look deeper if you think it is needed!" Grinning wickedly Lurnott enters his mind viciously hunting down many thoughts in his mind. Harry occasionally flinches at the strength behind his magic. After several long minutes Lurnott withdraws leaving Harry exhausted.
"Cut your palm with this knife. After that drip a little onto this sheet of parchment before using your opposite hand to write your family name upon the parchment. Or we could use a blood quill instead of your fingers since people generally cut the wrong hand." Harry places the blade of the knife in his palm before gripping it tightly, not even flinching, and releasing the blade. Setting the blade aside he places the parchment under his hands and squeezes it very tightly.
After he makes the blood gush from his hand he feels it heal and takes the blood quill and neatly signs 'H. J. Potter' onto the parchment. Lurnott humphs in irritation at being ignore in his commands before a really long list appears. Lurnott snatches the parchment before neatly copying the print onto another parchment before handing the original back to him.

Harry's eyes are stuck on Hogwarts. He owns Hogwarts! He owns it himself! He rubs his face while pointing it out. "Do you think I might be able to pay a goblin, whomever it concerns, to help schedule new classes for Hogwarts? I think there should be more classes with each block reduced to fifty minutes long-to fit in more classes-and that more classes should be optional. Maybe having a Sex Education class since I know I had to ask an older student about that one." Harry maintains a polite voice even though he feels like pulling his hair out and screaming in frustration.
"I suppose we could arrange for such. But everything would have to be reviewed by you and stamped with a seal of approval. I think that Director Ragnok is the one to ask about it, even if he isn't he should be able to properly direct you." Harry smiles at the much more polite answer he receives from the goblin. He presses a button under his desk and a assistant enters the room.
Lurnott speaks gobbledygook to him and motions to Harry. The slightly smaller goblin starts to turn in order to leave when Lurnott adds a few comments. The smaller goblin looks at him with wide eyes before nodding his head to him. Harry nods his head deeper than the goblin did and isn't surprised to have him splutter for a few moments. Lurnott stops him and hand the sword to him and he takes it and rushes out of the room. "Lord Potter, while he is going to get the appropriate vault listings and property listings we could visit Director Ragnok and ask him for advice on classes. We will also talk to you about other things since the Director has expressed a wish to meet with you if you visited the bank today."
Harry nods and replies automatically, "Yes sir, Lurnott. I just hope I am not in trouble." Lurnott seems to pause for a moment as Harry exits his office. Lurnott begins guiding him through the tunnels and after several long minutes they arrive outside his door. Lurnott knocks on the door as he motions for Harry to wait. After stepping inside for a few moments Lurnott opens the doors and pulls him inside with a slightly gleeful look on his face.
Harry glances around the room and sees it is like a royal throne room of the medieval era. Then he pauses as a thought hits him. "I am not disturbing a 'royal' goblin. Am I? On second thought I can schedule an appointment." A belly laugh echoes from the seat of the throne as an older goblin and a few guards come out of hiding. Harry sees that he has a crown upon his head and instantly bows before Lurnott can.
A few murmurs whisper around him and he feels the elderly goblin pat his shoulder. He spoke in a gravel-like voice full of respect. "I have heard of many of your deeds and heroic feats, Potter. I find it almost impossible that you defeated a fully grown, one thousand year old basilisk yet I know it is true. Besides that there is also the fact that you have faced off against dangerous and lethal warriors, stole an egg from an angry mother dragon, raced through and won the Triwizard Tournament, and that you destroyed one we wished dead." Harry remains low as he doesn't see those things as something special; Dumbledore could have done the same thing in his opinion.
"Rise Potter. I am trying to decide if I should bestow a gift upon you for your troubles." Harry stands again and shakes his head as he looks at the goblin king.
"I don't want anything that you can give. I just want happiness and I have to work at that myself. Also, since it gives me great joy, I wish to help others. If you do try to do me any kind of favor I would ask that you help me with a group called S.P.E.W., or the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare. It was founded by Hermione Granger during our fourth year at Hogwarts to promote liberation and rights for House Elves. Hermione believes all Elves should be freed and instead receive benefits that a normal worker earns. I don't honestly know if they want that though." Ragnok hums thoughtfully. Walking back to his throne slowly he thinks about it.
Sitting down he looks at Harry with suddenly glowing eyes. "I will do such only because you have passed my test. However, I will have to have one of my kin's scribes translate a text of our study of elves and their lack of a magical core. She must read it carefully and rethink her plans of liberating them. Once she does we will fully support her and her group for as long as I live." Harry looks horrified and he knows it. To think that they have no source of magic...
"Lord Ragnok, does that mean they die without any bonds?" Ragnok nods sadly as Harry instantly knows he has to tell Hermione. Then he shakes his head to focus. "Forgive me for being a 'dunder-head', I actually came to ask for help scheduling a few classes in Hogwarts. My inheritance test that Mister Lurnott provided surprised me greatly by having the ancient school on the list of properties." Harry has inclined his head as he rebukes his distracting thoughts. Ragnok nods sagely as he uses wandless magic to pull a small table out of the corner of the room and between them.
Lurnott instantly conjures chairs for himself and Harry. Looking down in slight shame he slowly begins thinking of how he should tell them. "Something weighs upon your mind. We will attempt to help you with as much of our power as we are able to. You have earned or respect, Dag'kladv'ar, and because of that you have been honored with a goblin name. It means magic champion." Harry digests that information before his eyes light up as he head bops up.
"That is another idea you gave me. But the... trouble I have... is a severe lack of general knowledge. When I first came into the Wizarding world from the Muggle world I had no idea what was just myths and fake and what wasn't. I.. I will honestly do anything to make sure that everyone else who doesn't know has the correct materials to succeed to their absolute limit. I also ask that someone teach different languages, maybe yours as well." Ragnok looks faintly surprised at the news seconds before his eyes darken. Using more of his magic he brings a few hefty tomes over to the table and copies them. Handing the copies to Harry he attempts to smiles kindly at him.
"We had no idea. We were told that you was with a safe, loving, caring family. Oh... You weren't, was you?" Harry grits his teeth to hold back a angry growl. Shaking his head he focuses on taking a few calming breaths. Looking up he tells them the truth of his life. He spends roughly an hour telling them of the abuse, neglect and starvation he was forced to endure. "Good riddance to Bumble-bore! He lied to the entire public!"
Ragnok takes a few breaths himself showing Harry that he does care about him. Ragnok looks at the books he just handed to Harry, "These books are self up-dating law and custom books of the human wizards and witches. There are customs of all kinds including the poor and the rich. You might be able to enjoy it but probably not. Though it is a major part of your heritage and you should probably honor it strongly." Harry manages to give him a thankful smile as he move them to beside him on the table.
Ragnok summons a large file from a filing cabinet across the room and it zips to him. Copying the file he asks a strange question, "Parchment, quill and inkpot or calligraphy pen and notebook?" Harry raises two fingers and Ragnok makes several calligraphy pens and notebooks fly from an extras area. "Good, I personally like the pens myself." Harry nods as he labels his own parchment with a title for his own ideas.
"Lord Ragnok, could the three of us write down individual ideas and compose them before sharing? It might help with organization." Ragnok nods with a heightened tinge of respect in his eyes. Harry begins writing in his notebook. He lists his ideas for classes first, then clubs, school events, school happenings, and updates to the school grounds. Looking up he sees the two others are already done.
"Sorry, I am slow with quills which makes me slow with the pen since it is for calligraphy. Who wants to go first?" Ragnok reaches for the unnoticed extra notebook and looks at his own parchment.
"I believe I wish to do so. First, I think that we should hae the Board of Governors disbanded and three school councils started. The first generic council would be the teachers as a whole. The main people in this group who you might want to attend meetings between the other councils is the both of the headmasters or headmistresses and possibly the house heads. The second council is the students council which should have three students from each house with various views on things. Those students will have their parents, for the ones who arn't muggleborn and an elected official for the ones who are, to stand on the parent council. How does that sound?" Harry grins at the idea and gives him a sincere smile. Looking at Lurnott he waits for his opinion.
"It actually sounds reasonable. Though the parent council should have the power to veto things from the student one. Maybe making it to where the staff council has the power to veto the parents and that the two lesser councils can combine power to veto the staff council's ideas." Harry's grin widens at the idea of being able to veto people.
"I most certainly approve of both thoughts. What s next?" Ragnok hands the parchment to Lurnott to write it down wile he read another one.
"The current classes might be able to be expanded. Ancient Runes is an optional class that teaches the study of interpreting runes or magical symbols. Not much can be expanded on it. Arithmancy, the study of the magical properties of numbers should be recommended for several students since it is one of the most important magical studies; it is used to create spells. Astronomy is a core subject which shouldn't be such. This encompasses the study of the heavenly bodies and the universe of the sky."
"Care of Magical Creatures is a optional class that teaches the study of different creatures and how to handle them. We could add a potions ingredient gathering potion to this one. Charms is one of the most popular core subject, which most of the rest are based upon. It mostly includes the study of magic spells that do not change the basic nature of the subject. We could offer the older students who have taken this class a few sub-branch classes, possibly house hold magic."
"Defence Against the Dark Arts is an extremely important core subject. I don't know how we could expand it off the top of my mind other then to have a few beings and creature starting at the Ministry class X be the first they study when they arrive. Divination is an optional class. It allows the students time to be studying ways of predicting the future including reading tea leaves, palmistry, magic orb reading, and dream interpretation. Since we can't just cut it out we should have students after the initial year of study who have talent in the art study under a real seer."
"Flying Lessons are mandatory during the first year for about a week or so. It has Hooch teaching the students how to fly using a broomstick. Herbology is a fairly important core subject. Students will study the care and magical properties of magical plants and fungi. This can also have a potions ingredient gathering portion added. History of Magic is a valuable core subject and the name says it all. Muggle Studies which is studying the life and lifestyle of Muggles. This one can have an opposing class while both it and the 'wizarding studies' should be mandatory."
"Potions is a very important core subject. It is the art of studying how to prepare potions. For a fair portion of the first year the students should be taught how to prepare ingredients properly, why not to mix things and how to properly tell if it is relatively where it is supposed to be in the process. Transfiguration is a core subject. It consists of practicing metamorphosis of objects into other forms. Those are the classes that there currently are. Do you approve of the slight changes we have decided to make?" Harry nods enthusiastically before Lurnott copied the few pages listing the changes into the 'Approval Notebook' to be signed off on.
Ragnok looks at Harry peculiarly as he gently rubs his chin. "My people have several classes that the Human Magicals among others might wish to learn and I have transcribed a list of the classes for you to look over as we speak. May I copy it for you?" Harry nods as his eyes show interest in what there might be.
Ragnok copies the next few pages and gives the copies to Harry. As he glances at the papers he hears Ragnok begin to explain, "Now the first changes to classes are the years that a few optional classes may be taken. In my belief the human children are more lax which means they will have to wait a year or two before learning these skills. The few skills I believe they are able to move to first year are Divination, Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures and Muggle Studies. These classes are mostly simple arts and if a student wishes to take any of the third year classes while in first or second they may be tested for either an aptitude or a mental maturity needed for the class. Does that sound good?"
Harry smiles at the thought, "Yes sir. I think it sound excellent since plenty of the Ravenclaws would want to start further studies early. The two things I want there to be is the Study of Ancient Runes being in third year still and every two years there being different additional classes and options for the students... Make that three things; I also wish that the classes for two years ahead of time being able to be taken by the student unless there is a restriction upon the class. Does that sound reasonable?" The goblins are eyeing him with sincere respect.
Ragnok chuckles at his thought, he had expected for him to wish for the class to be earlier but every two years... Reasonable even by goblin standards. "I believe that is quite wise of you. You also appear to understand the possible dangers of the Study of Ancient Runes class. Now for the added classes... I was hoping that the Wizarding Studies could be added in first year for muggle raised while the Muggle Studies are for the wizard raised. Both being mandatory as you said would be wise. I suggest hiring a muggle who is aware to teach Muggle Studies since they will know more than we do. How does that sound?"
Harry grins as he knows a middle school teacher he could hire, she had been his teacher before Hogwarts and she might be happy to discuss things with the wizarding students. "I have an idea of who to hire for the Muggle Studies Professor. Her name is Miranda Hawkeye. She is a middle school teacher who makes about two thousand GBP a month. If we offered her six thousand GBP a month I am sure she would be willing to come teach. She probably knows about magic considering she was suspicious when I turned the principle's hair neon blue." The goblins snorted with amusement at the thought of having neon blue hair.
"We will send her a missive asking her to teach in 'a secret government approved society' while giving her the address of the government building which houses the Magical-Muggle Services. You know, for people who have magical children yet they are muggles." Harry nods at the thought as Ragnok turns to one of the guards while pulling out a new sheet of parchment and scribbling a note on it. They speak briefly and the goblin salutes Ragnok and Harry before he rushes out of the room.
Then Harry had a brilliant idea. "Why doesn't more magical beings go to Hogwarts? I personally think it would be interesting to invite a few of those people to make the school more unified." Ragnok raises an eyebrow at him as Lurnott stiffens. Suddenly Ragnok gives a belly laugh again startling Lurnott.
"I am surprised that you feel so strongly about it. Most would hate to have a goblin in the same class as a human. I am sad to tell you that we goblins have our own school to attend but we will send pamphlets to other beings encouraging them to attend. But first we should continue with our list of classes. Don't you agree?" Harry flushes in embarrassment as he nods.
"Good. For the new classes of third year, we have Item Crafting, which will be used for upper years when they begin learning in the Enchantment Class. We could also introduce artistic classes. The first being Introduction to Musical Studies. This class will introduce the students to the musical arts to include piano, violin, singing, and such."
"Next is Introduction to World Magic which there could be three different classes of in particular areas with it being changed up each year. This class will introduce the student to the various magics practiced throughout the world to include Druidic magic, Shamanistic magic, Blood magic, Necromancy, and such. Plus there is Introduction to the Arts. This class will introduce the students to the visual arts to include painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, etc. How does that sound for third year classes?"
Harry smiles widely as Ragnok continues, "Next is Household management in which students will learn how to manage a household after graduating Hogwarts. After that is Healing in which students will learn the basics of First-Aid and Healing. And there is Business which teaches students how to own and operate their own business in the magical world."
"Wandless Magic in which the students must demonstrate talent to participate in this class. This class will cover wandless magic and how to perform it. Human Languages in which students will learn the basics of the most common languages spoken throughout the world. Creature Languages in which students will learn the basics of the most common creature languages spoken throughout the world. Both classes will teach the students how to hold a normal conversation with a native speaker. Are these okay for third year?" Harry grins widely as he nods. Lurnott begins copying the list onto the approval files.
"Estate Planning & Investing in which students will learn how to take care of a large estate or business and how to invest their money if they so desire. Government & Politics in which students will learn all of the ins and outs of the ministry and various other types of governments. Students will also learn all about politics and how it affects their everyday lives. Law in which students will learn the basics of the law in the magical world and how they may affect it, change it, or use it. And Creative Writing in which students will learn how to author a book or article. This class is for those students interested in becoming an author or reporter. Those are the additions for fifth year, do you approve?"
Harry nods sincerely as Lurnott copies it down again. "Unfortunately that is all I have in ways of class ideas." Harry looks at his parchment and looks at them.
"I have some for Sixth and Seventh Years only: Warding in which students learn how to set wards around locations, houses and buildings. Curse-Breaking in which students will learn how to handle various items, locations, and buildings that may be cursed. My favorite, Animagus Training, this class will cover how to become an animagus and teach students the steps required to change into their inner animal. Rituals in which students will learn about and how to perform common rituals used by the magical world."
"Medical Potions in which students will learn more about the potions used to treat patients in a hospital setting. Battle Potions/Poisons in which students will learn about the various potions used for fighting and the poisons that may be encountered. Potion Creation in which students will learn how to create their own potions or modify existing potions. Enchanting in which students will learn how to enchant specific items to serve a purpose. They will also learn how to modify existing items. And finally, Spell-Crafting in which students will learn how to create their own spells and modify existing ones." Harry grins at the wonderful, in his opinion, list of new classes.
"I think these are wonderful classes. I am pretty sure that many would be happy to have them." Ragnok replies with honesty in his voice as he grins widely. Lurnott scribbles furiously fast as he tries to keep up. Once Lurnott has written it down he glances up at Harry.
"Lord Potter, I believe that if we separated the two hour blocks into one hour blocs we could fit more classes in every day. However, due to the large amount of time required to brew potions the Potions classes might have to be four periods long." Harry hums as he taps his chin.
"I did think about adding a few more classes into the day. Alright, this is how I want the schedules to go down. Since there are more classes there should be clubs for each of those classes that may need it. However, one period a week is going to be dedicated to those clubs, another to the quidditch training and practice and maybe more for other things. Are you with me so far?" Lurnott waits until he is finished writing to nods.
"I plan on only allowing one free period a day. There must be at least two free periods a week though which mean the students may have between two and five free periods a week." He pauses to think before he snaps his fingers suddenly.
"I also want an allowance to go to th students who gather potions ingredients from the forbidden forest. However, I want the school to organize for the majority of the dark creatures in the forbidden forest to b killed or flushed out first. Once that is done there should be rules posted about being allowed to go into the forest in groups of five to harvest potions ingredients. A stipulation to that rule should say that a fifth year or above should go with them for extra safety. There should also be a few more greenhouses added for the sole purpose of growing and harvesting Potions ingredients." Ragnok gives a bark at one of the guards at the edge of the room all of a sudden causing him to walk over to him. They speak briefly and the guard thumps his hand over his chest and speaks in a low tone before giving a look of sincere respect to Harry and rushing out of the room to obey the apparent orders given o him.
"I have instructed him to gather our best warriors to go to war against those creatures. However, we need for you to ask the Centaurs of the forest if they wish to go hunting with us like they once did." Harry nods with gratefulness showing in his eyes.
"Thanks, I'll pay what ever goblins you send into the forest to hunt as many as possible. However, I'll have a system for it. They should each carry some kind of magic counter set to count their kills and if they pass a certain amount of large numbers, like say 250, 500, 750, and 1000, they get a bonus for each number passed. Also, when you invite the Centaurs tell them that I will also pay them as well and give them each one counter." Ragnok's eyes glow with appreciation.
"I am sure with payment in such a system would encourage many goblins to join the hunt. We may have to close a few branches of the bank the days they go hunting so we don't have to worry about as much. However, I suggest having a few other beings from different races joining in the hunt and offering the person who gets the most dark creatures a prize as if it is a competition." Harry grins widely at him as he nods eagerly.
"That sounds delightful. However, I want a few Mediwitches stationed at the edge of the forest with a guard detail in case the cleaners accidentally flush them onto the edge of Hogwarts. I also want the majority of the forbidden forest set up to house different light and gray creatures and possibly a few dark creatures if we can get them to behave and not kill any humans. Those creature will be placed in those areas in a fair number so that they don't die out all the way. It will be a reservation." The few goblins nearby cheer at the thought startling Harry into jumping slightly.
Ragnok snorts at their enthusiasm as he clears his throat causing them to sheepishly go quiet. "Please forgive my kinsmen, several of my kin have very rare animals that we fear are going to soon become extinct. We worry about them an often plead with the Ministry of Magic to create a habitat for them yet they refuse." Harry's eyes dim slightly with pity before he hums thoughtfully. Looking at the goblin who cheered the loudest, who still wears a big goofy grin he motions him closer.
"I know you understand me and that I may not understand you. Nod if you get me." The goblin nods firmly once as he nervously stares at him.
Harry gently conjures a chair and the goblin looks at him in surprise with his eyes wide. "I wish to hire you to be in charge of the Forbidden forest and turning it into a reserve. You were the loudest to cheer and you evidently have one such pet. I want you to discuss it with a few magical creature veterinarians and ask them for requirements for each creature. You must assist in organizing the hunt though and you will have to make deals with the centaurs considering the land used to repopulate the creatures into the forest. I will pay for at least one person to care for each type of the animals and I want the habitats changed to more closely... 'fit' the creatures if you now what I mean." The goblin nods once before clasping hs arm and smiling widely at him.
The goblin says something before turning to Ragnok. Ragnok motions for him to leave and he rushes out of the room. Harry turns toward Ragnok and smiles at him. "Sorry, I figure that since he was the loudest he will be the hardest working one on the project." Ragnok nods with understanding in his eyes.
"That is reasonable thinking. I must say that we expected that you wouldn't even think twice about what we had to say. What makes you care?" Harry frowns heavily with sadness showing in his eyes.
"I know that muggles have caused several species of animals to go extinct already. Most of those animals are ones that the muggles now wish they knew more about. None of those animals can be brought back in today's world and because of that they are trying to save a great many animals from extinction." Lurnott clears his throat causing the two to look at him carefully.
"I believe we should focus on the school now. I also think that if we add a year or two to the school years that are only for those looking for further education we could bring in more money. These classes will be more expensive but they might be made from a scholarship of some kind." Harry nods with Ragnok as they continue planning classes.
