chapter 6

Harry is sitting in a hospital room deep underground at Gringotts, waiting for his godfathers to wake up. On either side of him lay Remus and Sirius on their beds. His mind had been occupied by two twin red-heads. They are my soulmates, I like that they are my soulmates, I like Fred and George? Harry had never seen them as anything other than friends, but that could have only been because of the compulsion Dumbledore put on him. Harry would have to think on it more, when he had more time, and was alone.

Deciding that, Harry began to think about something else while waiting for Remus and Sirius. Harry hadn't been waiting long before Sirius woke up.

"Hey, Sirius" Harry smiled at him, "How do you feel?" Harry helped Sirius sit up while asking.

"Hey, pup. I could have been better, my head is killing me…" Sirius answer, rubbing his temple with his hand. Suddenly his eyes flew up and he looked at Harry, "Where is Remus? He is so going to freak out when he remembers." Sirius was looking wildly around the room.

"He is fine, he is still sleeping right now," Harry said and leaned to the side to give Sirius the view of the sleeping Remus. "Madam Eirenic said he would sleep longer than you because his ritual lasted longer."

At that moment the door opened and in stepped Sharptooth and Eirenic. "As you asked Lord Potter, I have gone through all transfers and such from your vaults in the last 12 years. It is as you feared. I see Lord Black is awake, would you like him to be part of this discussion, Lord Potter?" Sharptooth began while Eirenic went over to check on both Sirius and Remus.

"Thank you, Sir Sharptooth. Yes, I think both Sirius and Remus should know, they are my official guardians after all." Harry smiled and said, looking over at Sirius to gaunt his reaction. When he didn't say anything and just smiled back at Harry he continued, "We'll start right away and just fill Remus in when he wakes up."

"Then let me start," Sharptooth said as he sat down in a chair (that just appeared out of thin air) at the foot-end between the beds. "There have been many transfers of both money and artifacts from your vaults and into others. Luckily, only from the Potter, Black, and Prince vaults. It will be easy to get it back." He handed a sheet of parchment over to Harry as he talked.

"Wow… so not only was I betrayed by Dumbledore and the only mother-figure I remember, but also by my best friends…" Harry said depressingly. Sirius leaned over and gave him a half-hug.

"Since this is your money, I can disclose what the money has been used to. I think you will find what Ronald Weasley-Prewett have done with the money very interesting." Sharptooth handed Harry a few other sheets of parchment.

Harry searched until he found the entry about vault 826. There was investment after investment, and not a single knut had been spent on anything else.

"Mr. Weasley-Prewett have not only been saving the money to give back to you, but also been investing in different profitable businesses to give more back. One of the first things he did when he gained control of his account was to deny Molly, and Ginevra Prewett, and Albus Dumbledore access" a new voice said and when Harry looked up there was another goblin in the room, standing by Sharptooth's chair.

"This is Gornuk, the Weasley-Prewett account manager, my brother," Sharptooth introduced the new goblin to Harry and Sirius. "I sent for him before coming here." He explained, he then turned to Gornuk and talked to him in Gobbledegook, "You always had a way to appear at the perfect moment."

At that Gornuk only grinned, answering back, "Not my fault you always talk so loud, you'd think the whole of Gringotts could hear you."

"Yes, yes. I understand you are brothers, please don't rub it in my face." Harry interrupted the Goblins, also slipping into Gobbledegook. totally by accident, of course, Harry would reason later.

Gornuk just stared shocked at Harry. "Ah. I forget you have all-speak, it's not often we have to regulate what we say in our own language." Sharptooth said dryly, both as a reason to Harry and as an explanation to Gornuk. Harry just smiled.

After Gornuk took a few moments to shake himself he continued on what he was saying before being introduced, "As I was saying, Mr. Weasley-Prewett intends to give all the money back to you when he turned seventeen."

"Okay, that's good to know. At least one of my best friends are actually my friend…" Harry said, gaining a tug from Sirius that placed him on the bed with Sirius' arms wrapped around him. After a moment to soak up the positive contact Harry sat up straight and turned to Sharptooth and Gornuk, still sitting on the bed with Sirius clinging to him. "What do we do now?"

It was Sirius that answered, "First of all, I want to ruin that old coot Dumbledore. It's because of him that you had to live with that shit-stain you had to call uncle. But to do that we need allies," Sirius said still wrapped around Harry, cuddling him and playing with his hair.

"I think most of the Weasley-Prewett family are okay to tell, all except Molly and Ginny." Harry began. "I think Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, too. They are my godparents, after all. And I don't think they remember, either."

"Severus, too!" Sirius said immediately after, and suddenly Harry remembered that "Professor Snape" was also one of his blood-adopted fathers, with the name Severus Black-Prince-Lupin.

"Yes, Professor Sna- I really don't know what to call him now… Severus too. By the way, that is so a story I need to hear!" Harry looked up at Sirius, smiling mischievously at him. Sirius turned a little red but continued smiling back at Harry.

"Later, Remus is also part of that story," was the answer Harry got.

Pouting a little before turning back to the goblins Harry continued, "So, we'll contact the Weasley-Prewett family, except Molly and Ginny, the Malfoy's and Severus to take the inheritance test." he said to the room. "I think we should have Aunt Petunia and Dudley do the inheritance test too," he said to the room.

"Yes, I think that is a wise choice," Sharptooth said. That was as far as they got in their planning before a pained gasp came from the bed Remus occupied. Harry and Sirius were up and around Remus' bed before he could even open his eyes. The goblins let them have their moment, walking over to where Eirenic was sitting by a table.

"Sirius!" Remus' eyes shot open and located Sirius', staring at him. "Sirius… you knew. You knew even that night in the Shrieking Shack," He had tears in his eyes now. "I pointed my wand at you, I believed it was you who betrayed us. How could I ever believe that? I am so sorry!" Sirius had wrapped his arms around Remus and was holding him, kissing the top of his head.

"It's not your fault. You were obliviated, we all were. I only remembered bits and pieces, feelings and moments, never the whole picture until now," Sirius was whispering into Remus' hair, "We are going to fix this."

Harry just watched from the sideline as the two men wrapped around each other talked. They were still missing one, but Harry could see the family they could have been, would be. Deep in thought as he was, he didn't see Remus and Sirius reach out to him before he was pulled into the hug. Again, Harry froze momentarily before melting into the positive contact, content with the comfortable silence at the moment.

"So, what is the plan? We are going to ruin that bastard, right? He destroyed all our lives." Remus finally said after a while, putting both Harry and Sirius at arm's length to look at them.

"We are going to contact the Weasle-Prewett family, all except Molly and Ginny, to come and take an inheritance test, also Harry's aunt and cousin. Lucius and Narcissa, too. And Severus." Sirius told him, fully expecting another breakdown from Remus after mentioning Severus.

"Severus…" Remus' eyes are blank, like he is looking far away, "We have to destroy that old man, how dare he ruin the lives of my pack!" Remus was furious. "How do we get them here?"

"That would be our job," Sharptooth and Gornuk had migrated to the foot-end between the beds again. "I will talk with the Prince and Malfoy account managers and get him to contact Lord Prince and Lord Malfoy. I, as the Weasley-Prewett account manager, will contact Lord Weasley," Gornuk continued.

"I can talk to my aunt and cousin," Harry said, looking at the goblins. "This is just the first step, but I think we wait with planning anymore until we have more allies," Harry looked at Sirius and Remus. They both nodded in agreement. "Do we have anything more to do here? I'm starting to get hungry."

"Now, we only have thing left, then you can all leave." Sharptooth said and began handing out a few sheets of parchment to Harry, Remus, and Sirius, "The Will of the late Lord, and Lady Potter."

They all just looked at the parchments now in their hands, "Oh…" was the only sound as answer for a few seconds, "Wait, why this now? Wasn't it read when my parents …?" Harry's voice fell out into the silence.

"No, it was not. Dumbledore forced his way to become your magical guardian and locked their Will." Sharptooth said, "The decision was made by the British Ministry of Magic and Gringotts could not overrule the order."

"So why are you showing it to us now?" Remus asked, still looking at the Will in his trembling hands.
