On it, was a lion, snake, staff and a dragon carved in goblin silver into it. The ring flickered to show a total of four different rings, all of which had different designs on them and made of different metals.

chapter 3: Heritage part 2

"Never had anyone had access to so many ancient vaults." Ragnok whispered, "Vault number one belonged to Merlin Emrys and you have just been claimed as his heir by magic."

The child stared at him with a shocked expression.

"Vault number three belonged to Godric Gryffindor which you have rights to that vault by blood and magic since the Family Head is passed down to the oldest son, no matter what status you have...since your father never claimed it, he doesn't have the right to disinherit you from this."

This time the child looked at his ring again and noticed the lion with delight.

"Vault number six belonged to Salazar Slytherin which you now have the rights by conquest of an heir and by magic." Ragnok continued, "Vault number seven belonged to Ignotus Peverell since that family married into the Potter Family 400 years ago and again your father failed to claim this, none of your family does since none of them thought to have a family history check."

He was dazed. How had his parents not known that we were related to these people?

How had his grandfather kept it from James that he was related to Gryffindor and Peverell? It was mind­blowing.

"I...do not really know what to say, Ragnok. I guess we can start with figuring out how much I have " He whispered

"Mr. Potter­" Ragnok laughed.

"Excuse me, sir." He interrupted, "But...seeing as my family disowned me, just call me Harry. It is easier that way...until I officially file for another name or Lord of the Peverell family, I am Harry No Name."

"That is fine, Harry, what you need to understand is that you have more money than your former family has ever had." Ragnok explained, "The rumors that Merlin, Emrys and the founders vaults are just housing worthless relics and no gold was perpetuated by us since we became tired of always having witches and wizards claiming to be related somehow, thought, most wizards and witches are inheritance of these families it is strictly through magic only."

The child seemed surprised, but understood why the goblins spread the rumor.

"In truth, the vaults have fairly large fortunes in them. I will get you a ledger before you leave. You are very wealthy, in fact, you are one of the wealthiest wizards in the world with access to these vaults." Ragnok smirked, "I believe that the Peverell Family vaults is your poorest vault and it had around G1,000,000,000. The Potter Family had around the same before your brother became famous. Now, your former family have around twice as that and trust me when I say that you will be able to afford any help you may need."

At this he nodded and looked at the rings in wonder, still processing the information given to him.

"Even the Malfoy Family does not have as much as your former family, even before your brothers fame. Though, the other vaults do not have more than that since your richest vault is the Emrys vault, having G9,000,000,000,000,000 in it, and that is just because it is the oldest. The Goblins were close friends to Merlin and we had invested on the vault heavily over the centuries."

The child blinked for moment.

"Our last gift to the one who helped us the most in our history. Though, there are limitations on that account. You can only withdraw a certain amount within a year because it is a large portion of the British wizarding economy. The amount, I believe is somewhere around G200,000 a year and considering a moderately sized manor costs around G12,000 the amount you have access to is more than you will ever use. Of course, unless you are unwise with your money."
