Chapter 1
Harry found himself in a field of lilies. He felt lighter and loads better than he ever felt before. He felt warm, happy, and safe.
"Hello, Harry," a beautiful voice sounded next to him. He jumped but soon recognized the woman who spoke.
"Mum?" He whispered.
She smiled lovingly at him and opened her arms to him. "You are so brave, Harry."
He immediately rushed to her and hugged her tightly. "Oh, Mum."
"It's okay, Harry. I'm here. I've got you," she reassured him.
Harry cried in his mother's arms. "Am I dead?"
"No, not yet, my darling. You are in what we call the between. The basilisk did kill you, but another soul was attached to yours. On the night Voldemort killed me and your father, and tried to kill you, his soul split and attached to you. That is what Lord Death has come to collect. There are others if you bring the book to the Goblins they can track them and destroy them with more basilisk venom or fiendfyre. You will be sent back. You have the chance to live. And you shall do it well with my help. Lord Death gave me a boon. I am here to right some wrongs."
"Do I have to go back?"
"Oh, Harry, yes you are meant to live. I want to see you grow, graduate, get married, and have children and grandchildren before we meet again. I wish to see you happy and live a long life. That is why your father and I went into hiding. We loved you so much, we still do. No matter what we will always love you."
Harry nodded sadly. "I understand."
"Good. Now, before you go back, there are just a few things I need you to do for me. First, do not look Dumbledore in the eyes, he is manipulating you. He is not a nice man and can only see his way as the best way to end this stupid war. Second, get yourself to Gringotts and ask for a full cleaning and accounting of your accounts. There will be some shocking things that will come from that meeting, so please keep an open mind. Make sure to have them open our wills and read them. Also, have them help you find a lawyer to help you with some of the things you find out there. Thirdly, become who you truly were meant to be. Don't hold yourself back because of our disgusting relatives, whom you should have never gone to, and don't allow your friends to dictate how you act. Believe in yourself. Only trust those who stick by you when the truth comes out."
Harry looked at her with a questioning glance. "Will this help me get away from the Dursleys?"
"It certainly will."
Harry nodded.
She hugged him tightly, "Your father and I love you so much. We are so proud of you. Now, go live your life."
He smiled as he woke back up on the hard floor of the Chamber of Secrets. Ginny was crying over him.
"Ginny?"
"Oh, Harry! I thought you died. I didn't know what to do."
"It's okay, Ginny." He saw Fawkes healing his arm. "Thank you, Fawkes. Without you, I would have truly died."
Ginny and Harry made it back to the entrance where Ron had shifted the rocks enough for them to get out. Fawkes flew all four of them out of the tunnels. Fawkes brought them to the girl's lavatory. Harry sent Ginny to the Hospital wing and brought the sorting hat, book, and sword to Dumbledore's office.
In Dumbledore's office, Harry avoided eye contact with the Headmaster. He didn't tell Dumbledore about seeing his mother.
He did free Dobby from Mr. Malfoy. He kept the book for himself and hid it. He wanted to bring it with him when he met with the Goblins.
Harry was able to sneak away from the train in King's Cross without anyone noticing, using his father's cloak. He made his way to the Leaky Cauldron and entered Diagon Alley. Once in the Alley, he quickly made his way to Gringotts and asked to see his account manager.
"What can I do for you, Mr. Potter?" Griphook asked once they were in an office.
"I need a full cleaning and accounting of my accounts," Harry requested.
Griphook frowned, "Don't you receive your monthly statements? Hasn't your magical guardian told you about your heirships?"
Harry shook his head confused. "No. I haven't received anything from the bank. I didn't know I was supposed to be getting something. I don't even know who or what a magical guardian is."
Griphook looked shocked and then angry. "We will get to the bottom of this. Stick out your hand and prick your finger. Drip three drops of blood on this parchment. It will tell us everything we need to know."

"Well, Mr. Potter, it seems we have a lot of work to do."
Harry nodded.
"First thing, let's get you cleansed and healed. Then we shall help you hire a lawyer to help with building a case against Dumbledore. We can get the money back. We will open the wills and get Sirius Black a trial since according to this he is illegally incarcerated. We can also cancel the contract between you and Ginerva."
Harry gulped but agreed.
After he was cleansed and healed, Harry brought up the Horcrux. The Goblins were able to use the diary to track the others down and destroy them. This produced a death certificate for Tom Morvolo Riddle. Harry breathed a sigh of relief when the Goblins notified him.
Next, the Goblins opened the wills. "We shall hear James' first since he died first."
"This is the Last Will and Testament of James Fleamont Potter. To all those here and now our Secret Keeper was Peter Pettigrew, also known as Wormtail for his rat animagus. To Lily Potter if she survives, all my money and property. If she does not survive: To Sirius Black 5000 galleons, take care of my son. To Remus Lupin 5000 galleons, help Sirius raise Harry. To Severus Snape, my sincerest apologies for being a bully towards you, and 2000 galleons along with any books you want to take from the Potter vault. To Harry Potter, my son, I love you I give you everything else. Please, live a long life. To Albus Dumbledore leave my son and heir alone! Harry is to never go to Petunia Dursley nee Evans. Harry should be left with Sirius Black, Alice Longbottom, Remus Lupin, Severus Snape, or Minerva McGonagall."
"Now, Lily's."
"This is the Last Will and Testament of Lily Potter nee Evans. To all those here and now our Secret Keeper was Peter Pettigrew, also known as Wormtail for his rat animagus. To James Potter if he survives all my money and property. If he does not survive: To Sirius Black 1000 galleons, please take my son and raise him. To Remus Lupin 1000 galleons, please help Sirius raise Harry. To Severus Snape, my sincerest apologies, and all my potion and charm research, along with 3000 galleons to start your own business. To Harry Potter, my son, I love you I leave everything else to you. Please, live a long life. To Albus Dumbledore leave my son alone! Harry is to never go to Petunia Dursley nee Evans. Harry should be left with Sirius Black, Alice Longbottom, Remus Lupin, Severus Snape, or Minerva McGonagall."
Harry was shocked. Both his parents apologized to Professor Snape, said their secret keeper was Peter Pettigrew, that he was never to be with the Dursley's and he should have been with one of 5 different people! He could not believe it. They even told Dumbledore off and to leave him alone! This was just crazy.
"This will help in the case of Sirius Black. We have found you a lawyer who will look into all of this for you. For now, we shall contact Remus Lupin, Severus Snape, and Minerva McGonagall. One of them will take guardianship of you until he is released. Then we can move forward to charge Dumbledore for his crimes. For now, he is an enemy of Gringotts and shall not have access to his accounts. If he does come in we will arrest him and send him to the mines to pay off the debt he accrued."
Harry blinked. He was doing his best to take all of this in stride. It seemed that he needed to re-evaluate everything. He definitely needed new friends and to keep an open mind about where his life was headed.
"Thank you, Griphook, for all your help. You have no idea how much this means to me."
The Goblin just nodded sharply.
Harry sat in the office waiting for his fate to be changed more than it had already.
