The Real Truth
Series 1 Chapter 3
Harry laid awake, counting down to his birthday like he did every year. A habit he picked up when living with the Dursleys his whole life.
"One minute left..." he muttered to himself.
Just as the clock on Ron's wall reached midnight a searing pain went though Harry's body. It came close to the pain of the Cruciatus Curse and Harry had to bite his tongue to keep from screaming. He had no idea what was happening but he fought to stay awake and silent. Eventually the pain stopped and Harry slowing got up, his joints screaming at him. He was about to go to the bathroom when an owl landed at Ron's window. Shakily, Harry made his way over to the window and opened it. The owl flew in, a letter in it's beak. Harry grabbed the letter that was addressed to him and flipped it over. He noticed the wax sealing was from Gringots. He opened it and began to read.
Dear Mr. Harry Potter
It has come to our attention that you have received your creatures inheritance two years early. This is very uncommon and we ask that you come to Gringots Wizarding Bank as soon as possible. Ask for Ragnok and he will assist you with all matters regarding your inheritance.
Griphook,
Gringots Wizarding Bank
Harry stared at the letter. A two year early inheritance? He knew that his father was an animagus and there was a chance he could naturally inherit that ability but... two years early?! He needed to go to Gringots fast. Harry put the letter down and scrambled over to Ron.
"Ron, Ron! Wake up!"
"What!?" The red head said groggily.
"Look!" Harry shoved the letter in his face.
Ron grabbed it and read it through, his eyes widened.
"Bloody hell Harry! We gotta get mum!"
Hurrying Harry and Ron went to wake up Molly. At first she was angry that they were up, as well as annoyed that they had woken her up, but once Harry showed her the letter she understood.
"Arthur! Get the twins!" She told her husband, "You two get dressed while I grab the girls."
Harry and Ron nodded and rushed off to get dressed. Everyone was downstairs ready to floo to Gringotts in a few minutes. Harry was first, then Arthur, Ron, Fred, George, Hermione, Ginny, and finally, Molly. She usured everyone up to a goblen and requested to see Ragnok. The goblin nodded and after a bit of waiting a different goblin came into the room.
"Mr. and Mrs. Weasley regarding Harry Potter's creature inheritance?"
"Yes." Molly replied.
The goblin nodded, "I am Ragnok, please, follow me."
They followed Ragnok down different hallways and into a different room where the goblin pulled out a piece of parchment and set it on a table along with a small blade.
"Mr. Potter." The goblin motioned for Harry to come towards him, Harry did. "Five drops of blood onto this parchment."
Harry picked up the blade and made a small cut in his finger, letting the drops roll out of the cut on onto the parchment. Ink started to spread out like ripples from where the blood touched, soon these ripples formed into words.
Harry James Potter
Father - James Potter - Blood adopted at age four - Deceased
Mother - Lily Potter neé Evans - Blood adopted at age four - Deceased
Harry stared in shock at the words. He was about to say something when more words flooded onto the parchment.
Father - Tom Marvolo Riddle - Birth - Alive
Mother - Elizabeth Burke - Birth - Deceased
