Chapter 147 - Chapter 15

I Lilly Rose Potter, nee Evans, Being of sound mind and body on this the twenty eighth day of October in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty one, do set this as my Last Will and testament All dated before this date are here by nullified.

To Severus Tobias Snape, I leave one hundred thousand Galleons and my potions diary. Severus you were like my brother I know you wanted more. I do love you just not like you wanted. Look after my wonderful Son and teach him our childhood.

To Alice Longbottom, I leave you my love as you are my sister in all but blood. If Sirius can't take care of Harry I implore you too. I know Neville and Harry are already like brothers.

To Harry my beautiful son, I leave my books my journals and my love. You are my heart and my light in a very dark world. Be that light my son. Always see from your heart because I will be there with you.

Harry stopped the crystal at this point knowing he needed no more.

Harry was wrong; the last lines of the will were the ones he needed most.

The tears were flowing down Harry's face, as he gazed upon his mother's visage above the crystal. His breathing was labored and he was with out words. Hermione held him close and kissed the top of his head as she too had tears flowing.

It was fifteen Minutes before Harry could finish listening to the end of his mother's will. When he settled down the crystal continued.

His Mother continued. "Harry, within my rune diary is the protection set I put upon you to protect you. It will protect from all but family. For this reason I state unequivocally that under no circumstance are you to be placed with my sister Petunia. She hates magic in all forms and me because she was denied it. No killing curse can ever touch you now. Stay well my son. I love you with all my heart and soul. If you need me, look in your heart for there I shall always be.

The will was signed

Lilly Potter nee' Evans

It held the same witnesses as his fathers.

Bloodaxe spoke next, "Lord Potter there are some papers that require your signature, Then we can move to your family vault."

Paper work was signed seals were placed, the papers were filed with the ministry.

Harry and Hermione were given Keys to the Potter family vaults; they went a different route to the carts.

When they arrived at the vault Harry couldn't believe his eyes, and Hermione was awe struck. The Vault was cavernous, it could easily be as large as a quiditch stadium times two, and its ceiling as high as that of the great hall carved out of solid rock.

The couple each filled a bottomless bag with galleons when Harry saw what appeared to be a library. He called Kreacher to add the library to the one in his trunk. They were the personal diaries and journals of the Potter clan going back centuries. He also found the cases for three items he and Hermione knew know belonged only to Harry (the cases that held the Deathly Hallows). There were instructions on the floor of the case, to call them at need; Harry would hold that close to the vest.

Harry shrunk the case and placed it in his pocket. He turned to Hermione. "We have a couple more stops before we return to the castle Love."

Hermione had a look like she had no idea where he was thinking. "Ok Harry, do you want to clue me in."

Harry smiled. "I need a few things before I meet my In-laws, and if one of these is not acceptable to you we need to buy rings."

He then held an open case of some of the most beautiful rings Hermione had ever even dreamed of ever seeing.

The rings she chose were a single diamond engagement ring with a perfect emerald mounted on each side with a wedding ring of interlaced diamonds and emeralds to match in a simple gold setting.

As they left the vault, Harry saw a portrait of his parents, On his mothers left Hand was this exact set of rings.

They exited the bank and moved to the Leaky Cauldron slipped through and came out on Charring Cross Rd., slipping right by Professor McGonagall. They walked a block to a cab stand and jumped into the first one in the cue, Gave the address to Hermione's Parents house and sat back to relax.

Knowing a muggle was in the car they kept conversation light not wanting to give anything away or violate the statute of secrecy. It took an hour to reach Crawley, and it was only two in the afternoon. They got out at a small shopping plaza, and had a late lunch, at McDonalds.

Now it was off to meet Hermione's Parents.
