Learning The Truths

Lilith Potter looked at the papers on her desk and sighed. She was saying a lot these days. It had been around two years since Voldemort fell.  since then she had come to be known as the ‘Girl who conquered’.  she had become an overnight sensation,  not that she was not before but now her fame had grown much much more.  she started getting invites to many galas, balls, charity functions and what not.  even today her desk was libtard with many invitations to such .bootlicking events where she was invited as the chief guest. She was thankful these invitations were not sent to Ronald because he had always wanted fame and the fame of being the girl who conquered boyfriend was getting into his head and he would have definitely wanted to go to these events. He didn't seem to understand That she did not like her fame and like to spend her time in shadows.  Even before all this happened she had never liked all the attention this she used to get just be cause she as a baby had vanquished most feared dark Lord ever to be born.

She sat down contemplating “ Was that only reason that she was not going?” Ever since she had killed Voldemort  in the battle of Hogwarts she had felt a bit empty as if a part of her had died.  she would always become restless and had nightmares in the night.  she had never been a social butterfly but since that day her reluctance to mingle with the crowds had taken a new low. Even the love between Ron and her seemed faked. They were too different. She didn’t understand how on earth were the continuing together.
She shook her head to clear such thoughts and started sorting through her mail. Invitations in one pile. Personal letters in other. Work documents in third pile. She was suddenly disturbed by the knock on her door. Her secretary Stacy entered and said- “ Madam Potter, Miss Granger is here to meet you. We have completed all the security details. Shall I send her in?” “Yes”. Hermione entered through the door.

“So how is the work going on head of DMLE?” She asked. I rubbed my temples and said "Nothing great. Again all the he bullshit that I have to deal with. You tell me how is your super secret relationship with Malfoy going on.”  I wiggled my eyebrows at her and grinned. She swooned at Malfoy's name and said-" You know what, there is something. I mean the way I feel drawn to him is really weird but still beautiful.  And I asked him once if he also felt so and he said yes. He also said it was because we are soulmates. “
I raised my eyebrows at that. “ I know. It’s so weird. I had a bigger and much more funny expression hearing that. But as I have always said wizards lack logic, so I have not even attempted to go against it.” She said.

“I hope understand that you will have to tell Ron sooner or later?”
“Yeah. But I don’t know how to do so without avoiding the tantrum.” She said with a groan. “ You know how he is about Slytherins.”
“ All Slytherins are evil and slimy snakes"  We both said together. She rolled her eyes but then looked at me cautiously. “ Please Hermione. I know Ron very well and I accept that you don’t want to tell him about it. He is still very immature and everything is white and black for him. It’s either good or evil.”
I did not say one more thing that came to my mind.
“There is no good or evil. There is only power and those too weak to seek it.”
I started thinking what would the world be now if the bitter child that was Tom Riddle would have gotten love. Would he still have become Voldemort? Would I still have to kill him? The last thought left me baffled. Why would I not want to remove such a person from the world.
My thoughts were broken by Hermione. “ You look lost Lillian. Everything alright?” “ Yeah  Just tired.”
“You should rest. You are straining yourself. Anyways I have to leave. I have a date with Draco Malfoy.” She grinned and left.
I returned to my work of sorting the blasted mail. Who knew that becoming the head of DMLE would require so much paperwork.
Suddenly my eyes fell on a classy envelope. I picked it up and saw that it was from Gringotts. I was puzzled. I tore it open.
‘ To Lady Potter Black,
You are kindly requested to come to the bank for some decisions regarding you vaults.
Yours sincerely,
Ragnarok, manger Potter Black accounts. ‘
“Vaults?? What the fuck? Why have I never heard about my vaults? And why after so many years?”
I had a feeling that it was important so I packed up my work and left my office. As soon as I reached outside the ministry building I apparated to the Diagon Ally And made my way to towards the goblin bank. At the door of the bank two goblin soldiers stood ready to repel any threat coming towards the bank.  The poem at the entrance of the bank sent chills through my spine.
‘Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed
For those who take, but do not earn
Must pay most dearly in their turn
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.’

I went to the nearest teller and greeted him- “May your gold ever flow" The goblin looked at me strangely, then greeted -" May your enemies quiver at your feet.”  I showed him my letter and Asked him to set up a meeting with goblin ragnarok.  the goblin led me through various paths down the goblin bank to a sturdy wooden door.  he announced me to the goblin. The goblin sitting at the table looked at me and asked me to take a seat. As soon as I was seated he said to me- “Miss Potter? We have been trying to reach you since you have re entered the wizarding world. But why have you not replied to any of our letters?”
“Contacted me? But I haven’t been getting any letters from Gringotts. Are you saying that you have been sending me letters which have not been able to reach me?” I Ask baffled.
The goblin grimly looked at me and said this is a very serious matter. “Miss Potter, I would like to ask you, what do you know about your inheritances?”
“Absolutely nothing. I just knew that I had inherited one vault from parents.”
The goblin looked at me gobsmacked. “No Miss Potter. The Potters were one the wealthiest people in wizarding Britain. You should have known that and about you family vault, seats and social standing. You not knowing all this gives rise to the question that why has all this knowledge been not given to you. Who was your magical guardian?”
“My magical guardian? There has been no one I know like that.”
“What? Whom did you live with after your parents’ death?
“My aunt.”
“The Malfoys or the Tonks?” the goblin asked. “Tonks or Malfoys? No. My muggle aunt. Are you saying that I could have grown in the magical world and I was left with my muggle relatives who told me absolutely nothing about the wizarding world, abused me starved me and what not? And what is about magical guardian?”
The goblin looked at the ‘Girl who lived’ in shock. “Miss Potter, are you saying that you left at your muggle relatives who did not treat you right and you magical guardian did nothing to stop it or remove from there?” Lilith snorted. “ Did not treat me right? That is the biggest understatement if I have ever heard one. And no my magical guardian has never done anything. I have never met such a person. Please tell me whom do I need to murder?” The goblin smiled that had all teeth and said “ The goblin nation would like to offer their service in finding that person and bringing justice to you.”
Lilith nodded her head and asked – “ What do I have to do?”
The goblin brought out a parchment and a dagger. “ This will show all you inheritances, seats, properties, magical guardian and many other things. Seven drops of blood please.”
I took the dagger and made a small nip to my finger and dropped seven drops of blood on the parchment.

GLAMOUR: TO LOOK LIKE JAMES POTTER AND HAVE EYES LIKE LILY POTTER (ALBUS DUMBLEDORE)
Lilith looked at parchment in astonishment, anger bubbling in her. ‘Her friends had been chosen for her. The man she considered as grandfather was just a manipulative bastard. Sirius. Sirius was her actual father. And Snape was her blood adopted father. Was he too manipulated. At least Hermione's name was not here. Maybe she was innocent. Voldemort.  Voldemort was her soulmate. She had killed her soulmate. Oh Merlin. Her soulmate. She wished could bring Dumbledore back to life and kill him in the most painful way possible. Knowing that she had killed her soulmate made her heart ache. Suddenly the emptiness made sense to her.’
She did not realise that her magic was reacting to her anger. Everything started lifting in air and shaking. Ragnarok feared that if it would continue,  complete Gringotts would collapse. “Lady Black Potter. Lady Black Potter please listen.”
The Master of Death came back to her senses. She looked around and saw the damage she had inflicted upon the room. “ Please pardon my outburst Master Goblin but I have just learned a few very disturbing and painful facts.”
“No problem Lady Black Potter. The information is astonishingly disturbing. Please accept my sympathy for all that has occurred to you. Now there are a few more things that need to be discussed so I want to ask that do you want to continue now or after removing the binds and glamours ?”
“Now please. If its not a hassle.”
Ragnarok rang a bell and summoned a goblin and said -" Bring goblin healer Maeve.”
Tea was served. Lilith drank her tea with thoughts swirling in her mind.
When the healer came she asked to do a health scan on Lilith. The results were longer than an average magical. Healer Maeve looked incensed on seeing the results. She immediately got the healing room ready of her and took her there.
“Please strip Lady Black Potter. Clothes interfere with goblin healing magic. I warn you it will be painful.” Said Maeve. “ No worries healer Maeve.  I am used to pain.” Said Lilith. Maeve nodded and pointed to a stone slab in the center of the room and told her to lie there. As soon as Lilith laid there chanting started. She started felling discomfort. Slowly pain started to build up. It grew until Lilith knew no more.
When she woke up, she was in a large room on laying on a bed. The doors to the room opened and the healer came in. She said -" I see that you are awake. We have fixed up as much damage as we could but even we cannot do everything that time can. Would you to look at your actual face?”
“Yes.”
She was given a mirror.
In the mirror stood a beautiful aristocratic lady with high cheekbones, heavy lidded eyes, pouty red lips, straight nose, arched eyebrows, and slim waist. She grown up a lot and now stood a proud 6’3". Her eyes were a beautiful avada green with flecks of silver. She looked a lot like the famed Black sisters. But the most astonishing change was her hair. It was braided in the thickest braid she had seen only in Rapunzel movie and still came down to her feet.
“Why is hair so long and thick?” Lilith asked. “A witch’s hair is the measure of her magical prowess. She cannot cut it because of disrespect towards magic and also it lessens magic in them. Only after marriage it is cut with husband’s consent as the bond helps neutralize the magical disruption it causes. It is said- taller the witch and longer her hair the more powerful she is. You should realise the last witch to attain a hiegh8as yourself was Morgana Lefey and Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff wete also quite close. In these times anyone who have come close to attain such power are Bellatrix Lestrange. It is one of the reasons you were never taken seriously by the death eaters who were staunch supporters of old magic. Your height and hair length were quite short. You companion Miss Granger was seen of more worth.”
Lilith digested all the information like a sponge. She remembered how she always liked learning. Books were her only friend and refuge at the Dursleys and Dumbledore took it away. She again felt anger against the old man but was brought back to reality by Maeve.
“I know you must be feeling quite angry and want to hurt your enemies but you must remember revenge should be befitting the crime and is a dish best served cold. So you should keep patience and learn every other crime that they have committed because only then can you punish them.” Maeve said with a toothy grin.
I also grinned but it was by no means a pleasant smile.
I decided to go back to Ragnarok and get the complete picture. He seemed to have been waiting of me.
“ Ah Lady Black Potter. You have arrived. Now-"
“Please call me Cassiopia. Master Ragnarok.” I interrupted and said
“Sure Cassiopia. I have been looking at the transaction files. Tell me, have you ever given permission for funds be transferred to Dursleys, Albus Dumbledore, Molly Weasley, Arthur Weasley  Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Scarlett Weasley, Percy Weasley, Amos Diggory, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Moody, Dolores Umbridge?”
“No. Not at all. Are you saying that those rats may been payed to be my friends and adoptive families? And the Dursleys always complained how I was a burden. Are you saying that all the expensive gifts and holidays were from my money?” I asked in a cold voice.
“I fear so Cassiopia and would like to extend apologies in behalf of Gringotts bank that such a heinous crime as stealing has happened in it’s walls.” Ragnarok said in a  solemn voice.
“It was not your fault. It lies with those pathetic people. They had the gall to steal from me and pose as family to me. They will regret everything that they have done to me. Is there anything that requires my immediate attention?”
“Yes. You have to claim your Ladyship rings. To do so you have to say ‘ I, Lady Cassiopia Lilith Morgana Persephone Sirius James Black Potter, hereby claim my Ladyship rights, so mote it be.’ Your rings will appear here. It will judge you first.”
I nodded and repeated those words. 12 rings appeared in front of her. She started wearing her rings. In the end only Emyrys and Lefey rings were left. As soon as she lifted the Emyrys ring the Lefey ring also lifted up and both the rings started creating a magic field around her. Soon the Gringotts room vanished and she appeared in an empty place. She saw a few people standing some distance away. She approached them. There were two men and two women.
“Hello. Do you know how I came here? And what is this place? Who are you?” she asked.
One of the men started chortling and said-" So may questions at once, mistress? Ask one by one. We will answer them.”
“Mistress? Howwww......???? Death?? Are you Lord Death?”
“Very good child. Yes I am Lord Death. Or Lord Mortem. You have inherited one house called Mortem have you not?” he asked. “Yes. I have. How? Is it because I am Mistress of Death? And who are the others?”
“Patience my child. Gellert Grindalwald was my lover. Our son was your mother’s biological father. There is no such thing called Mistress of Death. No one can supersede Lord Death. When I want something I have it. It simply shows that you have collected all the hallows and have Peverall blood and something no one else knows is that you need to have my blood. Only then you are the TRUE Master of Death. The others are. Lord Tempus, Lady Hecate and Lady Life. Lord Tempus is my father. Lady Hecate is my mother. Lady Life is my sister. You are here because mu mother wised to talk to you.”
“Greetings Lord Tempus, Lady Hecate, Lady Life. What is that you wish to talk to me Mother Magic?”
“Child. Magic in the magical Britain is at risk. There needs to be a balance  between magic. Due policies of some, dark magic has been banned. It is not good for magic. Old ways have been lost. People have started taking magic for granted. Child bring back the balance. Bring back the old ways. I humbly request you. “
“I will to my best. I will restore the balance of magic. Gve creatures equal rights. Bring back the old ways. It will be an honour.” I said.
“You will go back now, child. Take care.” Lord Death said.
Suddenly she was back in the goblin office. She told Ragnarok about what had happened. Ragnarok told her that the goblins would help in every way they could.
“So, Lady Black Potter,  what about the perpetrators of the heinous crimes against you?” Ragnarok asked.
“They will be closely acquitted with the Dark Lady Morgana.” The true Mistress of Death batted her lashes and smirked.
