Chapter 3

Harry finished his computer quite some time ago, in truth, he did it in his first year of developing it.

What he spends the rest of three years is constantly upgrading it.

At first he didn't even need a video card, since there was no need for it, as the screen was just black with where he can code on it.

From there on he spends most of his time programming his new platform, this was were his original talent shined, he was feeling like at home, only supercharged.

His Mind Arts helped him in this area extensively, as he was able to have very first operational system in less than a half of a year, it looked as primitive as first windows which suppose to come out around a corner in the mundane world as well, only that his one helped to manipulate magic to a certain degree.

Truthfully he didn't even realise that his letter to Hogwarts have arrived not long ago.

He does want to mess with Dumbledore, and Voldemort, as well as check the castle in person, but same time he has no interest in wand magic, now that he was is capable of using his brand of magic he sees the wand ones as underpowered and he does believe the stick is going to explode if he tries to use any sort of magical foci, perfectly with Mind arts he can hardness magic to an extreme level.

'Huh… There is a way for me to do both things…' he thought for a second.

'I could take a step further in my technomancy as well, a laptop would be extremely nice, most of the things I already have developed.' That moment Harry made up his mind, he quickly sends a letter to Hogwarts that he is coming on First of September.

After sending the letter, Harry accessed his memories and pulled out all the relevant information needed to make a laptop.

His Mind Arts took a very large step from the times he builds his mind palace, by this point it's no longer 'just' palace, but a realm which can generate magic on its own, in a sense he had a 'breakthrough' which effected his physical body to an extreme degree, even though he is just eleven years old, his body is that of a teenager in its thirteen~fourteen year's, the best part is he can control his body shape now, why he can do it is probably related to Black Blood he has in his veins.

The metamorphmagus ability only supercharged to extreme degree which can be considered a shapeshifting ability.

He never truly explored this ability except to make himself look older.

But back to his mindscape, since it became 'self-sufficient' the amount of magic he now posses has exceeded anything he knows, the same type he can now do most of Jedi tricks easily, even lightning from his fingers, but that another story for another time.

'I should deal with all the little things I need and then I can return to my work.' After thinking for a moment Harry decided to deal with all of his shopping and then return as soon as possible.

~~~

His journey to London was quick, it was thanks to his fancy runic belt he created for these kinds of occasions, he got inspired by utility belt from Batman, with single-button press he was invisible, thus taking a bus and then Underground was an easy as eating a cake.

Then getting to the Leaky Cauldron, was not difficult either, in fact walking around technology is much more difficult than around magic, like barrier control in Underground, he needed to use his non-existent parkour skills, but once he was in the pub… he made his magic guide him, walking to the back of the pub and then pressing few bricks with magic and… bam! He was in Diagon Alley.

First stop is the Gringotts, the large marble building, he was quite... anxious really… this is his first time here and after reading lots of Harry Potter fanfics in his previous life he has no clue in what kind of situation is his Family Vaults.

So, after making himself visible he walked inside and waited in one of the lines.

But, not long after he got there most of Goblins started to stare at him with fear, and even awe.

'Do they sense my magic? That's… weird, there were some fanfics which had that trait in them, but it was not in-depth explained in books, but… since they are magical creatures it seems they can sense me…' Harry thought to himself as he waited in line.

Soon enough it was his turn.

"Y-Yes? How may Gringotts can help you?" The Goblin somewhat respectfully asked Harry which was noticed by wizardkind in the Bank.

"I am Harry Potter and I came here to speak with Goblin responsible for my family vaults, it appears no one has contacted me about the situation regarding them." Harry smoothly spoke to the teller.

Soon enough the peanut gallery which was in the bank started to whisper among each other to which Harry nor the Goblins paid attention to.

"I see, wait aside please one of the goblins will take you to your family manager." The teller said with slight happy voice, he was happy that this monster will he out of his hair.

~~~

Less than a few minutes later Harry was in front of a door which supposed to be office of his family manager.

Harry knocked on the door and moments later he heard a voice from the other side.

"Enter!"

Hearing all clear Harry opened the door and entered inside.

As he was expecting the office was all business with touch of old-style…

"Mr Potter, welcome, my name is Silverclaw, and I was not expecting you till you are off age you can take over as head of House of Potter, but it seems the news on that disgusting paper are true, and you have no clue was going on with your Family Vaults and estates?" Silverclaw quickly got to the point, which is something Harry already likes about this goblin.

"That is true, only things I know is what my parents talked and discussed when they were still around, I know that there is Potter Manor, and my parent's house in Godric's Hallow which now has a monument place there, that reminds me does Ministry even have right to do that to private property?"

Silverclaw's was quite shocked what he just heard, the young Potter remembers what happened that night? But he was like what one year old!?

The goblin quickly snapped out and returned to being a professional businessman.

"Well, that ones things I wish to discuss as well, but I can't act without input from Lord Potter," Silverclaw explained to Harry.

"I see, well that's a pity, is there a way for me to assume Lordship early?" Harry asked curiously, there is some hope in his eyes.

"Yes… And no, Potter are much more modern house and it follows laws of Wizengamot, but… Potter have another Lordship which chooses it's Lord differently, that title is called Lord Peverell, and Potters were not able to claim this title for several generations now." The goblin responsible for Potters vaults explained to Harry.

"Hmm, I see, the same family which have that infamous story created about them?" Harry asked curiously.

"Yes the three Peverell brothers who 'tamed' Death…yes it's a very old family which went extinct 800 years ago." The Goblin continued with his explanation.

"You see back in the day it was all about magic and if magic decided that you are worthy of the title then you can take it, but as time progressed inheritance became more and…" before Silverclaw can finish Harry did it for him.

"In muggle bureaucracy, it's not so magical if you can ask me, I thought it's a magical world, it's not so magical when we wizards start to rely on paperwork and laws created by average wizards who can't even cast proper spells." Harry shook his head, he already expected that, but working so much in his bunker he somewhat pushed that aside but getting back in wizarding world he already got exposed to bureaucracy bullshit.

"Yes, we can agree on it, Mr.Potter, so let me bring Peverell Family ring and see if you can assume Lordship of Peverell house and in-process Potters as well," Silverclaw said with a grin, which looks quite… feral, the goblin, of course, didn't say that if he fails he would either die if he is not of Peverell blood, or gets rejected and would be just Heir Potter, or if he is truly special then he would assume Lordship of a house which was inactive for a very long time, not many know but Peverells were not light as many though, after all, they were tricking death itself…

Harry just nodded and let the manager goblin leave the office for a few seconds, he had a moment to think what to do with politics, he has no interest to play with them, he is far too powerful to mingle in Wizengamot which is a complete rip-off of muggle parliament, perfectly honest he would be happy just mingle with his technomancy, but knowing Wizarding World he would be brought back in some way, that's why he would 'strike' first in this situation.

Not long after the Goblin was back, he put a ring box in front of Harry, and motioned for him to open it.

So, Harry did just that, he opened the box and sensed certain magic coming off from the ring.

"Just to warn you, Mr Potter, once you put that ring on, you will never be able to be Lord Potter ever again, while your family never was part of Sacred twenty-eight it's still very old, only that they never really liked the spotlight of the magical world and enjoyed living a content life." The goblin explained about Potters to Harry, if he would be without his memories he would be honouring his ancestors by trying to follow a similar path in life, but that's not his style, it's his second chance in life and he is planning to use it to very maximum.

Living like normal wizards which are very close to likes of muggles, waking up every morning getting breakfast and then going to working at 9 am finishing work at 4 pm… if anyone can't see the difference then that person is a muggle.

Harry lived that kind of life before, he is not going to do that ever again, the boredom and monotony of such life… never again…

"I am not like any normal Potter Silverclaw, but the question is will I be able to access my vaults?" Harry asked seriously.

"Yes, of course, Peverells ARE Potters, their line was added to Potters same with Gryffindor, only that Gryffindor weren't that resourceful, in a way to preserve their name like Peverells, they were… as you say, more like muggles, once last remaining Gryffindor married into Potters line, she didn't even bother to preserve Gryffindor name, unlike Ignotus Peverell who wanted his family name to live on, and thus added few extra clauses in his granddaughter's marriage contract," Silverclaw explained to Harry who listened with abrupt interest.

"Impressive… way to preserve his line," Harry said that while looking at the ring, he can see the symbol of the Deathly Hollows on the ring, he can guess the reason why Potters never tried to bother with Peverell infamy or fame, depending on view is that it brings attention to them, something that Harry has no qualms of taking the name of 'Peverell'.

So, he just took the ring and put it on his Right-hand index finger, the Goblin just stared at him with slight shock, there was no fear, no hesitation in the boy's actions!

Not long after that the ring resized and adapted to his finger then started slightly to glow, and Harry felt immense and old magic wash him up, as if testing him and then he felt acceptance.

"..."

"..."

"... Most impressive Lord Peverell! You are first Potter to accept Peverell name as primary Title, that, of course, brings some interesting side effects, one of most interesting is that you are adult in eyes of magic and that means that you are treated like an adult, that means all the cons and pros of adult comes with it, for example, if you break the law you have to deal with it!" The Goblin then started to grin as the most interesting part is upcoming.

"Now for the best part, since you are Lord Of Peverell and Potter Houses, you have full access to all vaults…"
