Author's Note:

Honestly, I'm amazed at the amount of likes, reviews, and ideas! I can't believe them, and they really help me when brainstorming on the story. To be fair, I always consider them; thus don't be discouraged if your ideas don't make it into my story.

Plot Summary: The story will start off six years after Harry was sent to the Dursleys, and they absolutely hate him. They abuse him, verbally and physically. They don't feed him, and they make his life a living hell. Prof McGonagall just found out, and took it to Amelia Bones, the head of the DMLE. Amelia is visiting the manager of the Potter Estate, at Gringotts, to discuss the Potter's will. They have found out that Albus knew about the will, and it's contents all along...and that it prevented Harry from living with his abusive relatives.

Disclaimer: Expect a lot of Dumbledore and Ron bashing in the story. Sorry, but that's the way it is. I see Dumbledore as an evil manipulator, and Ron as a pure idiot. Sorry folks, xD. Now, I don't own Harry Potter…sadly. Thank you JKR!...I wish I did. I'm using the Goblin estate manager's name from Harry Crow, it's one of the best fanfictions. I also used part of the will from Dark Equal, though not all of it.

On to the story, I hope you enjoy!

Oh, again, DMLE is Department of Magical Law Enforcement.


Last on The Discovered Life...

We, James Charlus Potter and Lily Elizabeth Potter(nee Evans), being of complete mental health and free will hereby decree this our testament, making all precedent wills void.

Should we encounter death, the following persons are to be given the following assets:

To Remus John Lupin we leave you our penthouse in Liverpool, London, and New York, and 1,460,544 Galleons.

To Sirius Orion Black we leave you guardianship of our son, Harry James Potter, and 1,460,544 Galleons.

To Peter Tratulus Pettigrew we leave you with 1,460,544 galleons. Should he had betrayed our location to Lord Voldemort, considering he's our secret-keeper, he is to be given nothing and this information(that he is our secret-keeper, and an unregistered rat animagus) forwarded to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Daily Profit.

To Minerva McGonagall we leave you 500,000 Galleons, and our book called "The Forgotten Art of Transfiguration."

To Filius Flitwick, we leave you 500,000 Galleons, and our book called "The Advanced Charms from the Medieval Ages."

In question of custody for our son Harry should one of us dies the surviving party has custody, in case both of us die, Harry is to placed with the following persons, in order :

1. His godfather Sirius Orion Black.

2. His godmother Alice Longbottom.

3. Co-guardianship between Remus John Lupin and Minerva McGonagall; at no time should Remus John Lupin become the only guardian, due to his medical condition, however McGonagall may be the only guardian.

4. Ted and Andromeda Tonks.

5. Filius Flitwick.

Should the following be disposed of, the Ministry of Magic should place Harry James Potter in a wizarding family, free of any Death Eater ties. Under no circumstances is Harry to be placed with Lily's sister Petunia Dursley (nee Evans) or her Muggle husband. They hate all things magical and will not be allowed contact with Harry.

Signed

James Charlus Potter

Lily Elisabeth Potter

Sirius Black as witness

Scorn as Gringotts witness

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore as witness


Amelia stares at the last line of the will, "Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore as witness," It seems McGonagall was correct, that there was no legal way for Harry to end up with muggles, let alone the ones specifically stated not to have custody of the child.

"Barchoke, when was this will executed?" Amelia says, slowly. Placing the file back on the desk, a slight frown on her face.

Barchoke straightens up, taking his long- flimsy - fingers and flipping through a few pages of documents. "Hmm…" Barchoke mutters under his breath, before slowly taking out a small piece of parchment.

"Now, this is odd…" Barchoke says, apologetically to Amelia. "Scorn, the Potter Executioner, seems to have yet to execute the will." He pauses, then further reads on, ignoring the glares from Amelia, "According to this parchment, Scorn had a meeting with Albus Dumbledore before the set date of the execution." He pauses, then gives a slight frown. "This can't be a coincidence." He says, turning back to Amelia.

"Agreed, this doesn't seem like a coincidence." Amelia agrees, giving a slight sigh. "Albus must have done something to Scorn…" She mutters under her breath.

"Of course," Barchoke says, insulted, "As goblins, it would be our duty to complete our jobs, on our honor." He pauses, then jumps off of his stool, walking to the door before bellowing into the rather large office, "Scorn, Will Executioner, come here this instant!"

A rather small, elderly, goblin looks up from his desk. The goblin seems rather surprised, waddling over to the office. The goblin, assumed by Amelia as Scorn, raises his eyebrows at Amelia before giving a bow and stating, "Lady Bones, what do I owe the pleasure?" He says, slightly confused, nevertheless respectful.

"What do you remember about the Potter Will Execution?" Amelia asks, giving a slight bow back to the goblin.

"Well," Scorn pauses, obviously deep in thought, his eyebrows raising up and down, "I don't remember anything about the actual execution, though I have a slight memory of a previous meeting with Albus Dumbledore regarding the will." He pauses, his facial expression expressing understanding, "I don't remember execution the will…" Scorn says, rather surprised. "I always remember my executions." He turns to Amelia and Barchoke, and says, slightly in shock, "I can safely assume that Albus Dumbledore's meeting somehow prevented me from execution the will."

Sorry for the rather short chapter, I've had too much to do the past few days, though I still wanted to post a chapter. Reviews are always loved!
