Broken Bonds

44 - The Real Will

Ginny sat through the reading of Harry's will, head down and hands in her lap. A small amount of happiness spread through her as she heard why Harry had left what he had to the twins, and his reasoning for leaving what he had to the others as well. But when she heard what was left to her, she was slightly confused. Why would he have left her a letter? And what was the gift? When Jangrak asked her to follow him, she stood instantly to follow him out. But before they left, her mother stopped them.

"Wait a moment, why didn't you bring the letter and gift up here?" Mum asked.

"When Harry created his will, he specified that Ms Weasley must be alone to receive them. It will not take any longer than 20 minutes," Jangrak replied. He left the room and she followed. She followed him through the hallways, soon reaching the carts. She climbed in and the cart took off. As Jangrak steered the cart, he explained why the letter had to be received in private.

"When Harry made his will, he requested to leave everything that wasn't left in the bequests to you as his soul-bonded. However, he did not want anyone to know that you have a soul bond and he said that it was a private matter, and the circumstances allowed us to make his desire work. The letter is his true will and you are not required to tell anyone what was in it. Here we are." Jangrak stepped out of the cart and Ginny followed. Jangrak placed a key in the door of the vault and the door swung open.

Ginny couldn't hold in the gasp as she saw the large amount of gold just sitting inside the vault. She stepped in and looked around. There was a large amount of jewellery in many different boxes as well as piles of books. She found a sealed scroll in the middle of the vault and moved over to it. She stepped forward and grabbed the scroll. As soon as she touched it, it unsealed, unfolding in her hands.

I, Harry James Potter, being of sound mind, body and memory, do hereby declare this as my Last Will and Testament on the 20th of December 1994, hereby revoking all prior Wills and Codicils made by me at any time from here onwards.

Two thousand galleons to Fred and George Weasley, for them to put towards their future career. They have talent and many ideas and should invest in it.

Two thousand galleons to each Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Thank you for being great friends and I am forever grateful for your support.

To Sirius Black, I leave half of Potter Manor, along with one thousand galleons, in case he needs them on a rainy day, along with my love and thanks for being a great godfather.

To Remus Lupin, I leave the other half of Potter Manor, as well as three thousand galleons. I also give him my love and thanks for being such a great teacher, uncle, and guardian.

To Molly and Arthur Weasley, I leave one thousand five hundred galleons, with thanks for taking me in when you didn't need to and loving me like your own.

Finally, to Ginny Weasley, I leave everything else that hasn't been mentioned, including all my vaults, assets, and properties. Ginny, I love you more than words can say and if you are reading this than I am so sorry for leaving you. You should know that when we formed the connection between our minds, we both legally became adults in the Old Laws and the goblins recognise this. We were recognised as closer than married, so leaving you everything I own isn't a stretch as you already had access to it. I want you to be happy, please move on. At least find love in other places, don't withdraw from your family. Please remember how much I love you, and I'm so sorry. If you ever need to get away from everything, Potter House is always available for you. I love you Gin.

Ginny collapsed to her knees after reading Harry's last message to her. She wanted to cry, but had no tears left. She pulled herself together and turned to face Jangrak, who was standing in the doorway.
