So sorry guys, I know I promised this update a long ago but my OS crashed and it took so long to get it fixed because I'm going through a heavy financial crisis. I digress. I will try to update more frequently, though no promises. Work has just got more time consuming.

I have also updated and edited the previous chapters, as some people requested to make the paragraphs smaller. Thank you all to those who liked or follow the story. I will try my best to keep up the expectation. As usual I would love any other suggestions, just be kind to me though, this is the first time I'm writing any kind of story. Well enough rambling enjoy the chapter.

Chapter: 4

"Me?!" Hadrian almost shouted. "What do you mean by me? You are not making any sense, nothing is! Boy-Who-Lived?! What a ridiculous name! And then this...this Dumbledore fellow, what does he want from me?" he asked frustrated with the man.

"The night Voldemort killed your adopted mother and father; he tried to kill you, too. But — and this is or was, as it seems your heritage may have played a vital role, the real mystery of the thing — he couldn't do it. Never wondered how you got that mark on your forehead?"

Hadrian was startled; he always brushed his hair sideways to cover his scar on the right side of his forehead.

"That was no ordinary cut you got that night." Ragnok paused a moment then continued, "It was caused when the Killing Curse, which is a powerful curse, touched you — he killed many with that curse along with your adopted parents and almost destroyed your house even — but it didn't work on you, and that's why you are famous, my Prince. No one has ever lived after that curse touched them, no one except you." He paused and then continued, "You need a brief history lesson to understand who these people are and how powerful they are, magically and politically."

Hadrian nodded in consent to continue.

"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore as you know is the Headmaster of Hogwarts but his popularity began mainly after his defeat of the Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald. He was declared as the Light Lord; unofficially of course.

But the majority of the population of British Wizarding Community believe him to be almost Merlin's reincarnated; he is said to be the most powerful wizard of all times. It is not well known, Grindelwald and Dumbledore were friends in their youth, maybe more than friends, they were planning to travel the world's other wizarding community to learn more magic, we know and remember because they came to us together to withdraw money and book their travel tour through Gringotts; but something happened between the two which caused them to fall out. Grindelwald left Britain.

We also noted that Ariana Dumbledore, his sister died during that time.

After his defeat of Grindelwald, Mr. Dumbledore was offered the post of the Minister for Magic, but he declined, saying he likes to teach and he likes children best.

Though we always had doubts because he has other posts more influential; Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, that is the head of the British Wizarding Court and Supreme Mugwump of ICW, Supreme Mugwump is the name of the head of the International Confederation of Wizards, which is like a parliament though in this case an International one.

Adding to that fact he is also in the position to influence children in the school with his grandfatherly demeanor, which he has been doing since 1965 and before that he was a Transfiguration teacher. It can be safely assumed that he is the most powerful and politically influential person at the present time, especially in Britain."

"Now Tom Marvolo Riddle aka Lord Voldemort, not much is known about Riddle before he started going with the name of Lord Voldemort. In fact most of the wizarding world did not make the connection between the two, and it is still not known.

Riddle began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1938 and was sorted into Slytherin house. He is said to be the most brilliant student alongside Dumbledore to walk the halls of Hogwarts. He was Prefect, Head Boy, charismatic, teachers' favorite and top student.

After he graduated from Hogwarts, Riddle was offered several positions in the Ministry of Magic, but ended up working at Borgin and Burkes, to the disappointment and surprise of many. Riddle set to persuading witches and wizards to part with their valuable magical heirlooms — a job at which he was very good.

He disappeared for ten long years. He slipped deeper into the Dark Arts, traveled extensively, consorted with disreputable people, began to become distorted in appearance and lose his handsomeness, and began to use the alias "Lord Voldemort" openly.

He was the Heir to the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Slytherin and last descendant of the line, though he never claimed the title. He started gathering followers — who later became known as the Death Eaters, friends from when he was still in school, mostly purebloods and few half-bloods — saying that he wanted to fulfill his ancestors' wish as his Heir, which is to purge the mudblood or dirty blood, according to Historical negations.

Pureblood families are wizards and witches without known muggles or muggle-borns on their family tree. Some have achieved this simply by removing any muggles or squibs from their family trees and pretending they never existed.

Many purebloods consider themselves to be akin to royalty in the wizarding world, or at the very least the elite. They often disdain those of different blood status and Muggles, some even arguing that Muggle-borns should not be admitted into the wizarding world. The Death Eater organisation took this philosophy to an extreme, striving to eliminate Muggle-borns altogether.

Wizards with parents or grandparents split between Muggles and wizards are referred to as half-bloods. Due to the dominance of the magic gene, children born to at least one magical parent will usually be magical themselves. This means that a non-magical child born to a Muggle and a wizard is considered a Squib, not a Muggle.

A child born with magic to two Muggle parents is considered a Muggle-born. In wizarding Britain, they are allowed to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, although some other schools, such as Durmstrang Institute, do not admit muggle-borns.

It is said that, Salazar Slytherin fell out of favor with the other Founders of Hogwarts because he wanted to limit attendance only to those from all-magic families. Those with prejudice against Muggles and their families often refer to such wizards as "Mudbloods," a highly offensive term implying that the individual has dirty and inferior blood.

Those who discriminate against Muggle-borns believe that they do not deserve magic and should be excluded from the wizarding world, in spite of the fact that Muggle-borns are just as magically talented as those of other blood statuses.

In 1970, Voldemort started the First Wizarding War by taking advantage of one of the wizarding world's greatest weaknesses: the beings and creatures that they had outcast. The Dark Lord recruited the giants, who had long ago been driven by wizardkind into the mountains, and werewolves, who are persecuted by most witches and wizards.

Many feared we, the goblins, would also join him, as we are restricted from wand use, but it never nor will ever happen. In fact, Voldemort murdered a family of goblins near Nottingham at some point during the War, for an unknown reason (possibly anger at our neutrality, or no reason at all).

Bartemius Crouch Snr., who was the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the time and was known for his fanatical hatred of the Dark Arts, issued an edict that gave Aurors authorization to use Unforgivable Curses on Death Eaters without warning, and suspects were sometimes handed over to the Dementors without a Wizengamot trial.

Many innocent people were locked away. To this date people are still even afraid to speak his name, and he is referred to as "You-Know-Who" or "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named."

Under the staunch protection of Dumbledore, it is rumored he is the only person Voldemort truly feared; Hogwarts remained a safe place of learning throughout the entire war. The Order of the Phoenix was created by Dumbledore at this time to fight against Voldemort.

The war itself lasted for eleven long years, until that faithful night of Halloween, 31st October 1981, Voldemort simply walked into your home that night, after he got their secret from their secret-keeper, supposedly Sirius Black.

Once inside he proceeded to murder Lord James and Lady Lily Potter. However, when he used the Killing Curse on you, it rebounded and seemingly obliterated his body.

Not much is known what actually happened that night as only speculations, many books are written after that but nobody knows for a fact. Most people think he is dead but today we got proof that he is still alive in some form.

Which brings us to your last question, a Horcrux is an object in which a Dark wizard or witch has hidden a fragment of his or her soul for the purpose of attaining immortality. Horcruxes can only be created after committing murder, the supreme act of evil. It is banned object in the Goblin Nation." finished Ragnok.

"WHAT!" he shouted standing up. "You are telling me that a piece of this Dark Lord Voldemort is inside me?!"

"Yes" Ragnok replied shortly.

"Please, tell me there is a way to remove it from me?" Hadrian literally pleaded.

"Yes. We will be removing that today after this, along with the blocks and compulsions on you."

Hadrian slumped down on the chair again in relief but suddenly he sat back straight when a thought entered his mind, he asked "Dumbledore had to have some type of contact with me to have put these compulsions on me today, isn't it? But I have met no-one except for Tom of The Leaky Cauldron"

"Yes, Albus Dumbledore had to have been in contact with you somehow to cast these spells." Ragnok became thoughtful for a moment and asked, "Do you have your acceptance letter with you?"

Hadrian nodded and pulled out his acceptance letter; Ragnok cringed away when he went to hand over the letter and asked, "Please put that on the desk, my Prince, it is full of magic.

My guess would be that the letter is spelled for the curses to latch onto your magical signature when you touched it. I will see that the letter is examined by our curse-breaker. We will also keep the result of that and also the results of your examination. The curses and potions used on you could be used as evidence if you want to legally charge Albus Dumbledore.

We, the goblins, do not generally interfere will human conflicts. But as you, my Prince, are form Asgard and Jötunheim, from who the magical beings are originated many millennium ago and have a standing alliance, though the Asgardians and the Jötuns have long since cut off any ties with this world, we are still honor-bound to help those from that origin, especially of the royal blood of both this world.

That also automatically gives you the status as a Goblin-Friend, which will provide you a protection against any who wants to harm you in anyway or form, physically, mentally, magically, politically or legally. We stand in guard to protect you at your word, my Prince." Ragnok declared passionately.

Hadrian overwhelmed a little inclined his head in respect and acceptance.

"Though I would advise you keep a low profile and plan ahead for the time being." Ragnok added with a smirk.

Hadrian nodded and said thoughtfully, "Yes that will be for the best, at least until I'm eighteen and legally adult."

The gears in his mind have been working since Ragnok started the explanation. He may not know about wizarding law or their government or politics, but he did know about the law and politics in the general government and their laws and politics. People with huge financial backing held the top tier of the hierarchy. 'Hmm there is also the possibility of investment or new business. This may be the magical community but that is no reason for backwardness and till now what I have seen, this community is definitely backward by an era.'

Ragnok nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, though the legal coming of age is at seventeen here in the wizarding Britain and as the last of the line of House Potter you could also claim the 'Last of Line Emancipation Act' after your OWL examination, where you have to at least get an E grade in all of your core subjects."

Seeing Hadrian's confused expression Ragnok sighed and started cursing in that strange language, which he concluded as to be the goblin language, again.

After calming down a bit Ragnok said, "That old goat should be hanged by his beard for keeping, my Prince such ignorant of the wizarding world." Taking a deep breath to calm down a bit more he continued, "But do not worry, my Prince, we have one month until Hogwarts starts and with your eidetic memory we will at least get all the British legal and etiquette aspects of your ignorance fixed.

We also need to see about your protection, though you will be protected against most of the compulsive and offensive curses and potions by your Heir rings. We will also provide you with a special portkey which will bypass any ward and take you to any place you have been before or your listed properties, we can add any new ones too, or here at Gringotts at any time.

Portkey is a type of magical transportation." Ragnok concluded explaining after a resigned sigh.

Bloodclaw, who was standing quietly beside the desk up until now, said, "My Lord, my Prince, if I may, I think this discussion should be continued after the Cleansing Ritual, which will take about two and a half hour or more, especially because of the blocks and the horcrux.

After which we should provide my Prince with the books and tomes that will help him to understand better about what you say my Lord. Otherwise it will take much longer to explain everything as this is all very new to my Prince. My prince still needs to read the next parchment for Investments, Share and Holdings, Bequeaths, Contracts and Bank Statement. And also there are the Wills of Lord and Lady Potter."

Hadrian and Ragnok both had to concede to what Bloodclaw suggested.

Ragnok then turned towards Hadrian and said, "For the blocks potions and the horcrux, we will need to do a ritual cleansing everything and for the spells, a curse-breaker will remove everything. We will put you under a deep magical sleep so that it's easier for you and the Elders who will be performing the ritual.

Come let us converge in the Ritual room. Rest can be discussed after those filth are removed from your person."

They all got up from their seats and moved out from the room almost automatically falling into a formation. The guards took their place in the front and back, with Hadrian and Ragnok walking together and Bloodclaw following behind them.

They walked through a white marble corridor where different Account Manager Office door could be seen in both sides of the wall.

After walking for almost five minutes they came to a halt in front of an ornate black ebony wood door with design boarders of what looked like gold, 'which it probably was' Hadrian thought. There were two large round beautiful handles made with an expertly balanced mix of gold, bronze and silver with marks of what could only be an ancient language etched in the circles.

Ragnok walked forward up to the door and placed his hands on the handles which glowed blue, the writings more bright than the rest of the handle, and looked back at Hadrian and said, "These are Runes and Gobbledegook, the native language of us goblins, which are infused with goblin magic and acts as a lock. No other magical being can ever open this door without a goblin."

Turning back Ragnok opened the door and stepped in with Hadrian following in after him. Hadrian was in awe, the room was a perfect circle, with walls of black marbles and the floor and ceiling of white marble with similar writings etched in the handle of the door that seems to glow and light up the room. It was simply put a beautiful room.

The room was pulsing with energy; he could feel it, almost as if it was alive.

Bloodclaw cleared his throat, making Hadrian almost jump out of his skin as the noise echoed loudly around the room, and said, "My Lord, my Prince, the Elders have arrived to start the Ritual." Making them turn towards the door.

Hadrian's assessment of Ragnok being an ancient was woefully wrong. He was almost young compared to the seven Elders in front of him. They were almost bald with scarce white hairs poking out, same with their hair; they were taller that most goblins he has seen today, but they had a look in them which could be called wisdom and knowledge. The scariest features would be the eyes: fully black without any white parts in them, their teeth look as if it was taken of sharks, and large nails which too were black. Their faces had warts in them with wrinkled skin completing the look.

The Elder standing in front bowed a little with his head and after he straightens, said, "My Lord, my Prince, shall we start the Ritual now?"

[Author's Note: It took a long time to update this chapter. Hopefully I will update the next one faster. I know I know I said the same thing last time but I will try my best this time.
