Chapter 4

Harry looked at his ring for a second, it was quite… unique black and greyish frame, with the Deathly Hallows symbol on the top of it in colours of black which is the background, and the symbol itself is red.

"The vaults then… I want all the keys to be collected if not possible, then I want the lock to be changed, on the same part I want a full inspection to be done, and since I am here why don't we do a full heritage check?" Harry said to his accounts manager.

"Hmm, very well." The goblin quickly wrote something down on the paper and then send it into a box, which looks like it's meant for letters, and then he pulled out a goblet with some weird liquid inside of it.

Harry's alchemy senses were tingling he is quite interested in this concoction!

"Lord Peverell this goblet will analyse your blood and magic and will find anything of interest in your blood and magic, abilities and heritages are included in it." Silverclaw then handed over a ritual dagger to Harry.

"You only need three drops of your blood on it."

Harry nodded and without hesitation cut his hand and blood started to drip into the goblet not long after that the wound just healed on its own, thanks to the ritual dagger or… to Harry's abilities…

Not long after that the goblet started to bubble like crazy something which even the goblin noticed with interest, he did this many times by now, he did to Harry's father and his mother as well as his grandparents… but never before there was such reaction from the goblet, the only thing to sees such reaction is either his new magic which is closely related to Peverell's now and of course his absurd amount of magic…

Moments later the bubbling stopped, and rest mist-like cloud moved from the goblet towards the piece of paper on the table and then it was absorbed by this magical paper.

Not long after that red letters started to manifest, showing off Harry name and all his 'stats'...

When Silverclaw saw it he nearly choked on his saliva after reading it!

"H-Here you go, Lord Peverell." The account manager said respectfully towards the young Lord.

Harry took the paper and read what is written on it.

Harry James Potter-Peverell

Godmother: Alice Longbottom

Inherited Magical Abilities: Immerse Magical Power, Shapeshifting, Partial Immortality, Eternal Youth, Elemental Magic, Telekinesis, Mind Related Magic.

Harry whistled after reading all of this, no wonder the goblin is so respectful to him.

"Lord Peverell, there is something which should be of your interest." Silverclaw with his long finger pointed at Sirius name.

"Since your Godfather is Sirius Black that means he is not guilty of his crimes, you see, he took an oath of a Godfather and that is very important in Wizarding World, once such oath is taken that individual cannot hurt his godson in any way." His account manager explained to Harry.

"I see… but you said 'not guilty of his crimes'." Harry pointed out," What crimes do you speak of?" Harry decided to play 'idiot' for this one.

"After your parent house was attacked by Dark Lord, it was Sirius Black who supposed to take care of you, but for some reason he ended up attacking Peter Pettigrew, and then supposedly killing him and thirteen muggles, the only thing left of Peter Pettigrew was a finger," Silverclaw explained Sirius circumstances to Harry.

"I see, that explains it, Sirius decided to hunt that Rat animagus who betrayed my parents as it was this Peter Pettigrew who was secret keeper," Harry said with a sigh as he lifted his hand a created a mist and then put it on the table, moments later Silverclaw saw images in the mist which was from Harry's perspective, the goblin then heard James Potter shouting something about him being here and that Peter has betrayed them.

"I-Impressive piece of magic Lord Peverell, no wonder you have absurd skills in mind arts! Anyway, I suggest to get a hold of a law Wizard who can help you with several issues like your property seized by Ministry in Godric's Hollow, as well as Books about you which are written without your consent, as well as your Godfather illegitimate incarceration." The Goblin advised Harry.

The goblin was right, the amount of laws Harry understand is bare minimum, even then it's mostly common sense from muggle side of things, and wizardkind usually don't follow common sense.

"Yes, I want one, your bank should have some idea how to hire those?" Harry asked the Goblin.

Silverclaw only needed to pull out some sort of paper from somewhere and showed to Harry.

"This is a list of Law-Wizards and companies run by them." Silverclaw pointed at names with his long finger.

Harry leaned forward and skimmed through those names, he noticed some… familiar names.

'Edward 'Ted' Tonks huh, a muggle-born wizard who was able to win over the heart of Black, he should be good at what he does' Harry thought to himself for second.

"For this we should contact Edward Tonks, he should be Muggleborn and if my guess is right he would be delighted to mess with Pureblood controlled ministry," Harry said with a slight smirk.

"Hoh, that's interesting, if you select him he would be more then interested in this job, since he is married to Sirius cousin," Silverclaw said with a slight smirk of his own.

"Then hire him, money is no issue, and if he does a great job I want his company to represent my family interests." Harry seriously said to his account manager who quickly wrote something down on his notebook.

"Good, then, since we approached your family finance, let me show you them." Silverclaw showed the book with numbers.

Harry was not too impressed or disappointed, his ancestors were living a comfortable life, but they didn't try to hard to be extremely wealthy or influential, basically normal as possible… something he doesn't understand!

If you have reality-bending powers why for God sake you don't want to completely understand them?

This kind of thing infuriated Harry to no end!

'If I convert that into pounds I should have close to several millions, if my grandfather kept his goddamn potion shop we would be even more richer…' Harry sighed internally.

"I see, and estates?" He asked his account manager.

"There are two, one of them is the Cottage in Godric's Hollow, and other one is Potter Ancestral Mansion, which is abandoned for the last ten or so years." The goblin explained to Harry.

"Abandoned? No preservation magic or house Elf's?" Harry asked curiously.

"Not to my knowledge, the house address is here if you wish to check on it, there should be anti-muggle and basic wards in place there." Silverclaw words only made Harry want to punch and strangle his careless parents…

"I see…" Harry sighed and massaged his nose bridge," for now I want you to execute my parents will if there is any, and then contacting Mr Tonks, and for the last thing I want to withdraw some money, there is some shopping I need to do." Harry said with a sigh, while Silverclaw just wrote down what he just said.

"Very well, just follow me I show you your family vault."

~~~

After a short visit to his family vault Harry left Gringotts and started to explore Diagon Alley properly.

The whole Victorian feel to this place was quite weird, he is not a big fan of this era, as this era reminds him of the industrial era which is synonymous with another word to him which is pollution…

Anyway, the first shop he found was Madam Malkins, the clothing shop, which he needs to visit to get Hogwarts robes.

He took a deep breath and entered.

"How may I help you?" One of shop clerks walked over to Harry side.

"I need several pairs of Hogwarts robes please," Harry said to the clerk girl who was having a hard time not staring at Harry, since he had quite a tight shirt on him, and thanks to his shapeshift powers which he barely scratched the surface of this ability, right now he looked like a very fit and healthy teenager, and it seems the clerk girl only recently graduated from Hogwarts as she had really hard time to act professionally.

"O-Okay follow me!" She squeaked the words out and motioned to follow her.

Harry almost immediately notice that the store is much larger inside than outside, the magical enchantment in this place were quite weird to him.

As someone who uses runes in most of his magical craft the stick enchantment are quite... weak? He can sense that stick magic is temporary, and that residue magic in this alley prolong the enchantment, but he could quite easily overpower the whole enchantment unlike runes he does, his runemancy on other hand are quite long-lasting from several millennia to six to seven digits years, that's how long Mythril lasts…

While stick enchantment can last from decade to maybe a century, unless it's anchored like this little shop.

"A-Alright just stand there, and I will measure you up!" The girl motioned towards a stand.

Harry just walked there and got on top of the stand and waited for the girl to start.

Moments later she started to do her work, for a moment it was quiet, but then she started to ask questions.

"So, which house you got sorted to?" She asked casually.

"Hm? It's my first year." Harry casually answered, his answer nearly made her drop her measurement tape.

"W-What? But you look like fourth or even sixth year!" She said with disbelieve!

"Oh, that! I am a shapeshifter, I prefer to look like fifteen~sixteen year old." He said with a casual shrug.

His answer made her stop whatever she was doing and just look at him.

"I never heard about such ability before, and I was in Ravenclaw!"

"Hmm the closest to my ability would be Metamorphmagus, but it's much more… uncontrolled that mine, while I can turn into any living creature, Metamorphmagus can only partially change into creature," Harry explained simply to her and motioned to continued to work on his measurements.

A few minutes later she finished and went to work on his robes, he asked to use the best materials possible and the same time he ordered several pairs of them, since he has no desire to buy his robes every damn year.

"Here they are, so you never said what's your name?" The clerk girl asked him.

"Well, it never came up so… It's Harry Potter," Harry said that before leaving gobsmacked clerk girl.

~~~

'Next is books…' Harry thought for a second, as he started to walk forward.

'The telescope and the cauldron I can make those myself, but the potion materials… those I am going to buy in bulks, if need be I am going to buy the whole damn store.' He thought with narrowed eyes.

Moments later he entered into a bookstore where smell of paper assaulted his nose.

Harry instantly started to explore, his most important objective is books on Wizarding culture, history.

He quickly checked the content on magic like charms, transfiguration, even Defence Against Dark Arts.

What he was able to tell is that it's centred on magic with sticks, and how much it can control.

Meaning that if someone has enough magic that person can steamroll through spells no wand moments needed, and if someone who is extremely tuned with magic like Harry, he doesn't even need foci, since magic under his fingertips just wants to used in some way.

So instead he just bought books on, history, culture, some magic theory and even arithmancy.

He even dropped a quick look on Alchemy which was so… primitive, compared to the book he read, he felt like he was reading a book meant for toddlers…

In end he spend around forty minutes in the store, after checking most of the books out, he bought whole 7-year curriculum of Hogwarts, with his advanced mind he could finish reading the whole thing in less than a week…

Maybe even faster, since he knows some authors are biased on certain things…
