A/N: Hi, to whoever is reading this! I am new to writing big story's like this one, so if I misspelled something please let me know. I do not have a beta as of right now, I will have to look into getting one though. This is the longest story I think I have ever written, but it has been a few years since I have written even a short story. This story is a plot bunny that has been in my head for 3-4 months now. All of the warnings for this story are in the summary, if I feel the need to add any I will type them at the beginning of the story. This story will have random updates, meaning it won't have one chapter per week constantly(i.e. 2-3 one week, then not update for another 2 weeks).

Chapter 1
"Harry cheer up, you won't be there for long. You will be going to the Weasley's a fortnight after your birthday!"
"Yeah, cheer up mate you'll be fine!"
'That was easy for them to say, they don't have to live with them for over a month!' Why can't I just stay at hogwarts or the Weasley's?! Though I guess I would prefer to stay at hogwarts rather than with those traitors. Doesn't matter now though, this summer won't be any different. It will still be horrible.
You see last year after the triwizard tournament and my accidental defeat of Voldemort - which was surprisingly very anti climatic! - all that happened was that me and Cedric were portkeyed to the graveyard. After we landed, Wormtail killed Cedric - I still regret suggesting that we both take the Cup - Voldemort got resurrected,we fought and my wand one and Voldemort died for the last time. No-one has to worry about him coming back because Dumbles killed all of his Horcruxes.
After all of that I went to Gringotts Wizarding Bank after I got a letter from my vault manager and found out some interesting things…
*Flashback*
Walking into the bank I go up to one of the goblins at the desk. When he looks up at me I realize it is Griphook, the goblin who took me to my vault in my first year.
"Hello Griphook, I would like to talk to my account manager?"
His eyes widen just barely, just enough to notice if you are standing right in front of him. Guess he was surprised that I remembered his name.
Most wizards and witches don't take the time to remember. The only ones who do so regularly are those who respect goblins or purebloods.
"Ah, mister Potter just a minute, I need to let the Potter account manager know that you are here." After he said that he walked into a door to the side of his desk on the wall.
He came back with another goblin three minutes later. "Mister Potter, I have been sending you letters since your first year at Hogwarts, to come and meet with me to talk about your vaults and lord/heir titles."
Well this was surprising news for me!
"Mister Potter please follow me so we can get started."
I followed my vault manager - I need to learn his name- through the same door that he came from. He lead me through several halls until he came to a stop at a door that said 'Obnark' - now I know his name at
least - "In here Mister Potter."
The office/meeting room was a tad small, but big enough to fit a brown wood desk,in the middle of the room closer to the back wall, with a brown leather chair that matched the desk behind it, two black leather chairs in front of the desk for visitors, two book shelves lined with books in both comers touching the left/right sides and the back wall both were brown, emerald green walls and stone floors.
Obnark sat down behind the desk and motioned for me to sit on the chairs in front of him. "Well mister Potter, we have a lot to discuss. Firstly would you like to claim your lord/heir rings?"
"Yes, Obnark I would. After that can we look through my vault transactions and what they contain. And if it is a thing, can I have myself tested for spells/potions that are on me?"
"Yes Mister Potter we will look at all account transactions and what they contain. As for having yourself tested for spells/potions it is called an inheritance test and is done at the same time as you vault transactions/what they contain."
Obnark reaches down and took a silver knife, parchment, and a potion. When he had all of that on the desk he looked back up at me.
"Mister Potter please cut your finger and let three drops of blood to drop into the potion. After that shake the potion, let it sit for 5 ½ minutes then pour the potion onto the parchment. All of your vault holdings, transactions and spells/potions that are on you or are harmful/cast with ill intent in the past."
So I did as specified cut my finger, let three drops to fall into the potion, shook it, and sat it down to let it sit for the 5 ½ minutes.
While we waited Obnark took out a basin from another drawer in his desk and told me to cut my finger again and let them drops fall into the liquid already in the basin. After I did that I was instructed to put my hand in it and pull out everything in it. I pulled out two lord rings and two heir rings.
"Mister Potter if you put the rings on and the accept you as the lord/heir the heir rings will combine and the lord rings will as well." All four rings accepted me. I put the heir rings on my left middle finger and the lord rings on my right thumb. 'Later on I will just put them on a chain around my neck.'
When the 5 ½ minutes was up I poured the potion on the parchment. It was a very long list. It read as:

"Obnark! Is there any way for you to remove these spells/potions, stop these transactions and get my money back!" I was so mad that my magic was starting to go haywire, 'I need to calm down before I hurt myself, someone else or my surroundings '.
"Yes there is a way to get it all back. I have been wanting to do so for years but could not without your permission."
"Thank you, Obnark. For everything you are doing for me."
*Flashback end*
The sound of a train whistle brings me out of my musings. We are pulling into the station. 'Yay, finally here! I can't wait to see my family again!' I have a sigh, get my trunk and Hedwig, and get off the train.
I am suddenly hugged and all I can see is brown curls "By Harry! I'll see you soon, don't forget to write! Oh! And make sure to do your homework!"
Hermione finally let's go and goes to her parents. Ron and Ginny are also waving goodbye and saying similar things to Hermione.
When I can no longer see them or them me I sneer at them and start toward the barrier. When I cross it I see my family and walk toward them.
"Boy! Hurry up and get in the car! We are going on an all paid trip, courtesy of Grunnings (A/N where Vernon works for those who do not know), to Italy!"
'Well guess that it can't get to much worse than having to spend a long flight in close quarters with the Dursleys.'
Oh, how wrong I was!
