... her life. The test complete, a charmed piece of parchment began to list all of Harry's ancestors, going back many generations. Most of it wasn't much of a shock, though Harry was surprised to learn that his grandmother Dorea, had in fact been born Dorea Black, a relative of Sirius'. His mother's side was a bit surprising, since he had thought she was a muggleborn, but as it turned out, there were several magical beings in the past, though they usually married muggles, and had squib children. The biggest shock came at the top of the parchment. There, in plain black ink, was the name Godric Gryffindor. Harry looked at his guardians. Minerva also seemed to be in shock, though Sirius looked like he had expected it. "It's not that surprising," he admitted. "There have been rumors for years, and nearly all the Potters end up in Gryffindor." Minerva nodded, coming out of her stupor. "It would appear that the sword of Gryffindor appeared for you for a reason, Harry. It wasn't just that you showed characteristics of the man; you are in fact related to him." Harry nodded, unable to even form a response. Sharptooth let them have a few minutes, before he shuffled some papers around and pulled out a file. "I anticipated your request for this meeting," he admitted. "As the Will was sealed by Dumbledore, acting as head of the Wizengamot, we were not able to execute it. However, as the heir to the Ancient and Noble House of Potter, you are able to ask for it to be unsealed, and we have to ...
... oblige." He held out the document, which Harry took with a trembling hand. He opened it, and with Minerva and Sirius looking on, began to read. The Last Will and Testament of Lord James Charlus Potter and Lady Lily Rose Evans Potter Being that we are of sound mind, hereby declare all previous wills to be null and void on this day, the 18 October, 1981. We appoint Sharptooth of Gringotts to execute this will to the best of his ability. Article I Should one of us die, we leave all our remaining possessions to the surviving spouse, and our son, Harry James Potter. Article II Should both of us die, we leave the following bequests: * To Remus John Lupin: 500,000 galleons, and our eternal gratitude for being our friend * To our Secret Keeper, Peter Pettigrew: 500,000 galleons, and our thanks for protecting our family to the best of your ability * To Sirius Black: There's a key to Potter Manor in the family vault. It was always your home too, Padfoot. We know you don't really need more money, but we'll also throw in 500,000 galleons, for a rainy day * To the Hogwarts Trust: Sharptooth should have the paperwork to create the Lily Potter scholarship (I had to fight her tooth and nail for that name, but I'm not changing my mind), for deserving young muggleborns who may not be able to attend school otherwise * To Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: enough money to buy a new set of brooms for the children to learn on. Those old brooms are getting dangerous, so buy some good ones ...
