Ritual for the claiming Inheritance starts.

"Wow! I didn't know that I was the heir to the Peverells." Exclaimed Harry. "You know now. Your ancestor Hadrian Potter married Lolanthe Peverell, the granddaughter of Ignotus Peverell. Your Invisibility Cloak is actually a Peverell Heirloom." Said Sirius.

Harry nodded in complete awe and turned towards his family' financial manager. "Now that your inheritance test is complete, would you like to wear your Lordship Rings of the Potter and Peverell Families and the Heir Ring of the Black Family, Mr. Potter?" asked Sharptooth.

Alaya was looking at her parchment in awe. Remus asked her "What happened Princess?" "I claim Ladyship to three families. Boldon, Romanov and Juneur?" She asked in awe. "Yes Miss Potter. These three families are matriarchal and always appoint female heirs. That's how you have inherited the Ladyship. It will be passed on to your daughter if you have any in the future or to the daughter of your nearest living relative, which is your brother's daughter, if he has any in the future." Said Sharptooth. Alaya nodded at this and Sharptooth asked one of the other goblins to go fetch the ritual bowl of the House of Boldon.

"While Nosefang is bringing the Ritual Bowl of the House of Boldon, why don't we start the House of Potter and House of Peverell Lordship Ritual. Mr. Potter, if you would take the Potter House Ritual Bowl and Ritual Knife. You'll need to swear in before you put on the Head of House rings and Black Family Heir Ring on, Mr. Potter. And, don't use your adoptive names for this ritual. Just use Potter and Peverell."

Harry nodded at the goblin. "Yes Sharptooth." He pulled the Potter family Ritual Bowl towards him. "Familius Magicus". Harry picked up his wand and tapped on the wand. Red and Gold sparks erupted from the bowl; he cut his palm, allowing the blood to drip into the hollow. "I, Harrison James Potter-Peverell, heir to the House of Potter and House of Peverell, accept the duties of the Head to the House of Potter and the House of Peverell, by blood, by magic, by law and by this my oath. So have I sworn; so mote it be."

The Potter and Peverell family magic rose out of the bowl sharply and surrounded Harry in a golden mist. He could feel it entering him. After a while, the magic receded gently, split into two, and settled above the ritual bowl, one in the form of the Potter Family totem, the Griffin and the other in the form of the Peverell Family totem, a Thestral. They ran towards Harry and transformed into the two Head of House Rings on his ring finger of his right hand. Silver jets of mist encircled the rings and merged them into one ring containing the House crests side by side before the magic in the room returned back to its original state.
