Harry Potter and the Secret Inheritance

Chapter 37

The next few days passed by the same way as the last two. Go to classes, avoid the idiotic trio, hang out with her friends, feed her animals and play with them for a bit before getting dressed for bed and going into her mindscape.

She managed to sort out her first and second-year memories and looking back at everything that happened she wondered why she never noticed something was going on before this year.

Adriane didn't want to think poorly of Hagrid, he was her first friend and gave her Hedwig. He had saved her from the Dursleys, but he had also made sure to praise Gryffindors above all other houses. He kept saying bad things about Slytherins.

Adriane loved being a Gryffindor, she didn't know if she would have been friends with Fred, George, and Neville if she wasn't one. She just couldn't help but think of what could have happened if she had been sorted into Slytherin. Would she have been friends with Draco instead of Ron?

Would Ron and the other Gryffindors bully her? Would the school have turned against her again?

She supposed that it wasn't worth wondering what might have happened had the hat not listened to her. She still hated that Hagrid had probably been told to make Gryffindors out to be the best, Slytherins out to be the worse with no mention of the other two houses and what they represented.

She could now see that her meeting the Weasleys had been a setup from the very start. Why would Molly Weasley need to ask what the platform number was? Why would she ask it so loudly in the middle of a very public, Muggle, train station? Why, if not for the fact that it was a setup?

They knew that Hagrid had never told her how to get into the platform and used that as Bait to real her in.

There was also the fact that Ron had claimed that every other compartment was full, knowing what she knows now she was aware that the train would add more compartments as needed. It was a magical train after all.

And then there were other things she didn't want to get into right now. Tonight she was working on third year, maybe she would be able to see if Remus and Sirius did anything fishy?

Adriane carefully sorted all of her memories from her third year in the form of books onto the bookshelf. She noticed that whenever Sirius looked at her he looked confused but there was still real affection in his eyes.

The thing that made her pause though was that the confusion seemed different than normal confusion. It seemed like he knew he was forgetting something and knew something was wrong but was confused about what.

As soon as she was done sorting her memories she quickly pulled out her mindscape. Luckily, she was getting resistant to how tired sorting or doing things in her mindscape made her so she quickly grabbed several pieces of parchment and started writing.

First, she wrote a letter to Sirius, and then she wrote to Grinlast.

Dear Grinlast

I need a favor, you're probably confused right now but soon (Hopefully) Sirius Black will be in your office. I need you to give him an inheritance test and then clean him of any binds, bonds, blocks whatever.

I have good reason to believe that his memories have been altered, I'm willing to pay any price without haggling to get this done along with having your healers take care of him. If this can be done in the time chamber so he has time to recover without needing to worry about me being in danger then I am willing to pay for this as well.

Please Grinlast.

Lady Adriane Kenna Dive Potter Black Gryffindor Slytherin Ravenclaw Emrys.
