Back in Time: Chapter 9
Harry's POV
When we apparated to the bank, a goblin walked to us and asked us to go to the
room on the left where mom and dad's hearing would take place.
When we walked in, I saw Snape and Tom. I
know Snape would be there, but why was Tom present there?
Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, and Molly and
Arthur were also present.
Remus and Sirius sat on the first row.
A goblin walked in and stood at the podium
with two spheres in his hands. I think they recorded mom and dad's wills.
"I am Riverand, the account manager of House Potter. Thank you for coming
here for the will reading of late Lord and Lady Potters. I shall activate the
spheres now." He said as he tapped one sphere. Dad's face appeared above
the sphere, and voices came from the sphere.
"I, James Fleamont Potter, Lord to the
Most Ancient and Noble House of Potter, do hereby claim that I am making this
will with a sane mind. I haven't been influenced by anyone.
Harry Potter, my son, all of mine, that will
remain after the completion of this will, will be yours. Take care of yourself
and be a good child. Do not cause much trouble to your godfathers. When you
find a mate, treat them right. And please stay away from the headmaster. I fear
something wrong will happen.
Sirius Black, my brother, I would ask of you
to take care of Harry. I know it would not be required, but I still ask you to
take care of him in my stead. Take Remus' help to raise him. Do not listen to a
word Albus says, Siri. He's dangerous. Keep Harry away from him as much as you
can. You can take 1,000,000,000 galleons. I know you don't need the money, but
please do take it. My brooms will be yours, Siri. Take care of yourself, Remus,
and Harry.
Remus Lupin, my brother, I would like you to
help Siri raise my son. I know he himself is a child and would require your
help to take care of an actual baby. You also stay away from Dumbledore. If he
asks you for something that you need not do or something that would put your
life at risk, do not accept. You can take 1,000,000,000 galleons. I know you
won't take it, so it has been put into your account the moment I die. There is
no returning, I have asked my accountant to make sure of that. My books about
creatures are yours, Remmy. Enjoy yourself, but please do not get obsessed with
finishing all of them that very day you get them. Take care of yourself, Siri and
Harry. Oh, just say what you want to him, he will accept it. You know whom I am
talking about.
Severus Snape, I would like to apologize for
all the things I have done to you. I know you will not believe my apology, but
you will understand when you hear Lily's will. I know you hate me, but please
do not hate my son. He might be the only remaining memory of Lily for you.
Harry has her eyes. There are a few rare potions books I have selected. You may
use them if you wish. They are from the Potter library. I got to know from Lily
that you have a mate. I have requested both of your presence for my will reading
for the next purpose. I want you to be my son's godfather. I don't care what
others say, but in the time I have observed you, I know that when you want to
protect something, you will succeed by hook or by crook. I know you are the
Potions Professor at Hogwarts, a place where Siri and Remmy can't protect
Harry. I would request you to keep an eye out for Harry. I am really sorry,
Snape. Please forgive me.
Peter Pettigrew, if I am dead, thanks to the
Dark Lord, I shall try my level best to haunt your soul. But if I die of a
natural cause, then you get 50,000,000 galleons. Enjoy yourself. But don't get
in my son's eyesight.
Siri, Remmy, please make sure he doesn't touch Harry.
Dumbledore, don't you dare try to leave my
son with Lily's sister. You know her character, and you know what would happen
to my son if he were to be placed with her. Don't you dare say Siri can't take
care of him. He can, and he will. Remus is always there to help. Don't make my
son do your bidding. Do what you want to do yourself. Do not involve my son in your
crazy plans.
Minerva, if you want to side with Dumbledore,
do not try to get to my son. But if you think he is being unreasonable, and
want to take my son's side, you are welcome to care for him, but make sure
Dumbledore is not with you when you come to see my son.
Severus' mate, I know you will hate me for
the things I have done to your mate. But please listen to my wife's will for
the reasons. She was the one who figured that it wasn't my character to insult
someone so relentlessly. If you accept, please care for my son, and if
possible, be his mentor. I know it is wrong of me to ask, but I know that with
Snape's power, he would be getting a powerful mate, so I have asked for your
help. Please do not let Severus fall into the trap Dumbledore set for him.
Thank you for coming here.
Arthur Weasley, I would like your kids to be
my son's friends. If possible, can you arrange play dates for them? Thank you
for always supporting me and my decisions. I know you will reject this, so I
have done it the same way I have done for Remus. I will not tell you how much I
gave. Go check your accounts.
Molly Weasley, if you try to get Harry
married to one of your children, it is not possible. I, James Potter, have
already given the right to Sirius Black, Lord of House Black, and my son's
godfather, the right to sign his contract if I were to have passed away. When
Harry turns 18, he will have the right to decline a contract that has already
been signed. Though, I know Siri would never sign a contract as he knows the
effects of it.
That is my will. I, James Potter, do hereby
conclude my will."
Dad's face disappeared. Sirius and Remus were
in tears. Arthur had walked up to us and sat by Remus. He was giving silent
support. Molly and the coot were fuming. Severus and Tom were looking at me.
I mouthed, 'Wait.' They nodded and looked at
the goblin who put another sphere on the table and tapped it.
