After Sirius explained the full ramifications upon the black family magic, Albus was more then happy to oblige the the blacks and allow them to care for the boy and even agreed to be one of his tutors at sirius' request

Ten years later

A young harry james potter has just reached his eleventh birthday and he narcissa and albus were on their way to gringotts to take his inheritance test and claimed the house of Potter and the house of black as well as change his name

sirius did tell him what his father did, how he potioned his mother with love and lust potions towards himself before also getting her so drunk after alcohol that, she would literally do anything he told her to including signing a marriage contract before promptly sleeping with him to seal said contract

He told me how my mother just lived with it since the contract was airtight and did her best to live happily despite her detest for one james potter, she missed her adoptive brother severus and wished that it never happened, but he also said my mother did love me

We walked up to the goblin teller who also happened to be one of harry's tutors, and the potter account manager

"Ah right on time, right this way" the goblin by the name of griphook said in the goblin language since they all spoke it

They soon arrived in griphook's office

"Let's see three drops of blood should do it" griphook said handing me a ceremonial knife and a piece of parchment I took the knife and cut myself with it allowing three drops to spill onto the sheet before narcissa healed the wound

He left for a few minutes but when he returned the smile on his face said very good news as several goblins entered holding small boxes

"This is your inheritance your majesty" griphook said as he gave me the parchment

name: harry james potter
father: james potter nee black
mother: lily potter nee grindelwald
race: pureblood

My eyes widened upon seeing this

"Headmaster" I said as the old man looked over my shoulder as his eyes also widened

"Incredible" Albus said in awe at the list

"There were others but they were of little consequence, and so we took care of moving everything from those families into the potter vault for now, they didn't even have lord rings" griphook said

"there are more on this list then i have fingers" i said

"don't worry about that, this has happened before though with significantly less, the rings will merge with your current ring until such a time as you pass on the lordship of one house to one of your children, also being the heir of the grindelwald family, the ambrosius and emrys families, and the gryffindor family, makes you and your house as well as any of your retainers and vassals friends of the nation" griphook said

"griphook what about my children that don't inherit those houses" i asked

"only those houses and their servants would receive such a status, if we didn't do that everyone would have friendship status however, that is something the goblin nation can reward you with should you do something that benefits us, we could give a house of your choice friendship status, i should mention while your children may not receive friendship status, your wives will no matter what house you have affiliated them with" griphook said

"is that why you took that horcrux out of my scar because of my friend of the nation status" i asked the goblin nodded

"it's also why you, Mr. ronald bilius weasley, and Mr. draco lucius malfoy, received the training they did, and all three of you received goblin forged blades" griphook said

"wow" i said in english for once acting my age and letting my etiquette training slip for just a moment in my excitement

"now it is just a matter of making sure the rings accept you which i have no doubt they will" griphook said as he brought out my rings one by one which all accepted me and i went into full lord mode

"narcissa i want you to as the potter proxy inform the wizengamot that the potter family will be abdicating their vote for the grindelwald family before informing that you are also the grindelwald family proxy, also inform that all titles and properties are also transferred to the grindelwald family" i said

"of course, i'll have it done upon the next session master" narcissa said

"thank you, that is alright with you professor" i asked dumbledore

"quite alright harry, i understand completely, may i ask why grindelwald, and not one of the other houses" 

"because i understand where my grandfather was coming from, and to a degree i intend to follow his footsteps i will not allow the muggles to invade our world, they may enter it i have no problems with that but i don't want us having to bend our culture to meet theirs" i said

"i find that fair, and agree to a certain extent" albus said nodding his head in response i returned my attention to griphook also returning to the goblin language in the process

"thank you for you aid griphook, i will nominate you account manager to all twelve families, if that is alright" i said the look on griphook's face told me it was more then alright

"thank you for this opportunity lord grindelwald, i will be exclusively your and your servants goblin, all other accounts i will transfer as needed" griphook said he liked the idea of overall working for only one wizard the retainers and vassals didn't count in his mind

"thank you griphook will that be all" i asked of which the goblin nodded

"very well, then i bid you good day" i said

"you should be getting your letter in a matter of days harry" albus said i nodded

"i am quite excited, i will see on september the first, headmaster" i said the old man nodded before apparating as we found our way home, we would wait to get my official list before going shopping
