Chapter 1 Revised

A/N I am sorry to all the readers that I took so long in posting this. I thank everyone who had commented before because you all brought forth some ideas that I didn't even think about that needed to be fixed. Here is the first of the new revised chapters for the Potter Family. Enjoy

Harry ignored everything around him in annoyance. It had only been a week since the end of the school, and he already wanted to leave this place. He just wanted to be free to do as he wished in the summer for once. If there is a way he could leave and be free, he would take it, though he wouldn't consider suicide as there was still a lot he wanted to do in life Why on Earth was he sent back here in the first place? Oh, that is right, Dumbledore! That bastard who wants to control everything in his life. He would rather be fighting Voldemort, then staying here. Voldemort would at least give him a fighting chance to get away and live for another day.

Harry turned to the window, to see a bird with something tied to its leg. It was some type of hawk, which was different, as most people used owls. He quickly opened the window as fast as he could, and listened to see if his uncle had heard the bird. He gave sigh of relief when he didn't hear the heavy footsteps of his uncle.

The bird made itself at home on one of his bedposts, ruffling his black feathers. The Hawk looked up at him, giving him a hard look, as Harry walked closer to the bird in an attempt to get whatever was tied to its leg. The hawk stretched his leg out when he was closed, Harry noticed it was a very old piece of Parchment. With a sigh, he carefully untied the parchment from its leg.

He hoped it was a letter from someone as it had been a long time since he received anything. His so-called friends were given orders not to write him, not that he would write to them anyways after they had stolen his photo album and burned it after the ministry incident. Since he found out about their betrayal, he really did not care what they did, as he would never forgive them.

As he opened the parchment, the hawk bit him and the blood dropped onto the parchment, which then began to glow. Quickly, he dropped the parchment as the glow started to get brighter and the parchment started to heat up. When the glow disappeared, he noticed the parchment had vanished, and in its place, was a trunk, a book, and a ring. Slowly, he examined the items. As he looked over the book, he noticed the title. {The Potter Family}.

'There's a book about my family!' Harry thought with excitement. Without much thought, he picked up the ring, and placed it in one of his desk drawers. He then moved the trunk so that it was pushed under his bed. He then returned his attention to the book. Using the light from the moon, he sat on his bed and opened the book to page one.

Dear Descendent,

If you have this book, you are one of the last members of my family, and in need of some help, freedom, or something is about to happen that will bring about the end of the family. My name is Casper Potter. I am your ancestor. While I was head of the family, I did not follow in the family tradition in taking over the potion company that we owned. I was more of an experimenter, along with my youngest son Sebastian. One day we created what would later be called the Veil of Death, but, it is a portal that anyone with Peverell blood would be able to use. One day well experimenting with some spells, I was accidentally transported to another world.

I had arrived in the middle of a war between the world government and what I could only describe as worse than Dementors. I offered my help in fighting back as my magic did affect these beings, but for my help, any of my descendants would never have trouble from the Government. They would never be allowed to be executed as all that would do was allow us to get back up as the only way we can die is if it is old age. I didn't tell them that though, just that we would have to rot in jail. Another part of the deal that we had with their government is that our family would be able to veto any decisions that the government made, or we would take away the devil fruit abilities. They agreed.

Since these people had no way to fight against these beings, I created what are called Devil Fruits. These fruits gave the person who ate them certain abilities depending on the fruit. I made a bunch of different ones, but I eventually could feel my old age catching up on me, so I gave the recipe to my twin grandchildren. They showed great promise in the Potter family magics, even more than my own children from my original world. I can only hope that my family continued to protect each other in the other world, as one day when I went to bed, I woke up in a hospital with my sons next to me, according to them, I had been missing for a year, but I knew that more time had passed for me as I was no longer a 40-year-old man. I was 76.

No matter who I told, no one would believe me about the world beyond the Veil, except my son Sebastian, and my grandson Jayden. They took on the job of protecting the Veil when the Ministry took it to be studied. I was turned into an outcast by my son Haden, but I knew one day that my family would need to return to that other world. I wished to pass down the knowledge that I had, so I created this book, so that the reader would have all the info that they would need.

This book has everything you to know about the family, including the current information too, as it is self-updating. It has the history of both worlds, but the most important thing you need to know is that the ring that came with the book is not only the head of household ring, but it will allow you to travel to the other world, and return. I suggest reading the book before you do anything. I created the ring in hopes that I would be able to return to my daughter Yasha and her children. If you do go to this other world, I implore that you locate my daughter Yasha's descendants, and make sure that nothing has changed in that world as far as our family goes. Please protect the family, but also have fun doing it, for this world is vastly different than ours.

Your Ancestor

Casper Arlen Potter

Harry stared shocked at the book, before a smile made its way across his face. He had family out there, besides the Dursley family.

For the next two days, he spent every minute that he was free from chores, looking through the book. He found several shocking facts.

First, the book showed his finances. It seemed that someone had been taking a lot of money from him and his family since before he stepped foot in the Wizarding World at 11. He sent a quick letter to Gringotts asking for his assets to be frozen until he went there personally to speak with them. He received a response saying that it would be done, and if he would come within the next day or two as they had a few things to go over

The second fact is the fact that he owned most of the Daily Prophet. A lot of families that had died out had willed their shares to him, so along with the shares that his family owned, he had around 90%. They shouldn't have even been able to print the stuff that they had in the past year.

The third fact is that he owns Hogwarts as well. It appears that while the founders came up with the idea of the school, they did not have enough money to start the school, so they had to borrow some from other families. Hogwarts Castle itself is a former castle of the royal family that was given to a son, that was shown to have magic, by the current king of Scotland. Almost all the land surrounding the castle, along with the Forbidden Forest belonged to him as well. Hogsmeade shouldn't even have been turned into a town, as it was created for students that were married or had kids to live in while they went to school. According to the book, it was turned into a town back in the late 1800's by the Dumbledore family when they built a bar and a few other businesses.

The forth fact, was that the School Board should not even exist. Under the Hogwarts charter and the deal that was made with the Royal family, the school would be under the authority of the founding families that helped to create the school. Those families are the houses of Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Peverell, MacMillan, Ollivander, and Black. The school board was only created back in the early 1800's when the current Minister of Magic passed a law that the school should be under the control of the Law, not specific families.

The fifth fact is that he is related to the Queen through blood on the Peverell and Fleamont families. Since they were related, he could see a few of the dealings between the Ministry and the Royal family. According to the book, the Ministry of Magic should not exist anymore as several laws that were put into place when the last known King of Magic stepped down, had been ignored as several laws that the Ministry created go against one of the main regulations that were put into the contract that was made with the King, for the Wizarding People to govern themselves.

The sixth and final fact that he found most shocking, was that he had a blood cousin on the Potter side of the family that was around his age, Apollo Potter. He would have to try and contact him soon.

"Hmm, I'll read the rest of this when I come back from Gringotts. I wonder if I can get Uncle Vernon to help me." Harry put the book down, and calmly walked downstairs up to his uncle. "Uncle Vernon would you be able to come me to London? I need to go to my bank to deal with a few things and would like your help. I will make it worth your wild."

"Boy, why would I do that? You don't have any money! Besides what bank would deal with you? " Vernon laughed until he noticed Petunia looking at Harry with a greedy look. "The freaks don't actually have a bank, do they?"

"Of course, we have a bank. How do you think I get all the stuff I needed for school? My parents left me money that has been passed down for generations. Did you think it just magically appeared?"

"DO NOT USE THAT WORD IN THIS HOUSE!" Vernon yelled at the top of his lungs. "Why does it have to be me anyway? Can't you just take that bus thingy that you rode three years ago?"

"I have to deal with financial stuff and I was hoping that you would help me since you deal with your family finances. Like I said, I will pay you if you are willing to help me with this." Vernon stared at Harry for a few minutes.

"Fine. But I want no funny business. I want a good amount of compensation for helping you got it? Especially if I have to deal with freaks like you." Harry nodded. "That was the plan. I wouldn't expect you to help me without some type of payment. We can settle it when we get there and figure out what is wrong with my stuff."

Vernon nodded. "Very well, we leave in the morning. Grab any statements that you have and bring them here, so I can look over it tonight and have an idea of what we are dealing with." Harry nodded and headed back to his room to grab his withdraw recipes from the few times he took money out and the Potter book.

"Here. These are the recipes from when I took money out. This book is the Potter Family book, it has all the information about the Potter family including the finances. It's how I found out something was wrong." He handed them over and Vernon frowned.

"Where are your monthly statements?"

"My what?"

"Monthly statements. They tell you how much money is in your account and how much was taken out within that month."

"I have never gotten anything like that."

"Well it would seem like we have our work cut out for us. Now you said this book told you something was wrong? Show me." Harry nodded and turned to the financial section of the book. "Here."

"Hmm, it appears that people are stealing from you. It doesn't say the actual amount, so we will deal with that when we get there. Who all has access to your account?"

"It should just be me and my cousin Apollo as we are the last Potters, but I don't know. I've only been to the bank a few times before. I don't really know how it works." Vernon frowned. "Ok we will deal with this when we get there. Make dinner and then go to bed, we leave early in the morning, Leave the book here and I will read through and see what I can find out with your money."

"Yes, Uncle Vernon."

"Pet we will be back either late or tomorrow morning." Petunia nodded and kissed him goodbye. They headed out to the car and drove off. Along the way Vernon asked a few more questions about what he knew about the bank, like who ran it, the currency (that he was surprised was different), and how to get there. After a few hours of driving and finding a place to park, they arrived at the Leaky Cauldron. Vernon followed Harry as he couldn't see where he was going. He hid his surprise when they ended what looked like an abandoned build, but was a tavern on the inside. He tried not to show is anger at the freaks that looked at him weirdly for how he was dressed, He was the one wearing a business suit that was perfectly normal, and not the dresses that these freaks were wearing. He followed Harry as they headed to the bar.

"Tom can you open the gate for me? My uncle is new in town and doesn't know how yet. Do you also have a cloak that my Uncle can borrow so that we don't draw a lot of attention in the alley."

"Of course. Right this way sir." Tom motioned for them to follow him and lead them to the backroom. He grabbed a cloak along the way and handed it to Vernon. He did a series of taps and opened the portal to the alley and went back to the bar.

" Well boy, where is this bank of yours? I don't want to be here any longer than I have to." Harry nodded as noticed Vernon was getting impatient with the large crowd that was in front of the doorway into the alley. Harry pointed to a large white building at the end of the street.

"That's the bank. Remember its run by goblins that hate humans, so we need to be respectful. Or they could kill us." Vernon grunted. "Let's get this over with already." They made their way through the crowd. As they walked into the building Harry could feel the stares on him, but ignored them and focused on looking for Griphook. When he spotted him, he pointed him out to Vernon.

"That's the goblin that we want. He's the one that I go to each time I'm here." Vernon looked over at the goblin and cooled his face.

"Well than let's go and deal with this problem." They made their way over.

"Hello Griphook. I sent a letter yesterday asking to freeze my accounts until I came in personally to deal with them. I was wondering if we could speak to a manager about a few problems that I found in my account." Griphook looked up with a sneer until he saw who was talking to. He looked confused.

"We received a letter this morning saying that you changed your mind and wanted to unfreeze them, so we did." Vernon got a stern look on his face.

"Can we speak to a manager please? I would like to fix this issue as soon as possible."

"Who are you?" "He's my uncle."

"Of course, Mr. Potter. Please step to the side and I will grab the Potter Family Manager." Griphook stood up and walked out of the room.

"You didn't tell me you had a manager. This makes this a little easier." Vernon turned to Harry and looked at the surprised face he had. "By that look I'm going to take a guess and say you didn't know you had an account manager."

"No, I didn't. Though I guess with what I learned from the book, it shouldn't be surprising." Harry watched the door waiting for Griphook to come back out. After a few minutes of waiting, he came back with another goblin.

"This is Hogfang. He oversees the Potter Accounts. Just follow him and he will help with any problems you might have." Harry nodded and gave a slight bow to the goblins to show respect. Hogfang smiled (creepy) and motioned for them to follow him. He led them through a few hallways until his stopped in front of a ruby door with lion and a rose crest saying the Potter Family on it.

"Mr. Potter please touch the door." Harry nodded and touched it, flinching when he felt something cut him. He pulled his hand back to see blood flowing from his palm as the door opened. "It would seem you are indeed Harry Potter."

"Wait what would the door have done if he wasn't?" Vernon looked at the door as if inspecting it.

"It would have killed him. Simple as that." The goblin shrugged and walked through the door as if he wasn't talking about someone dying. "Now I'm told you have a few issues with your account? What are they?" Harry looked over at Vernon and motioned for him to talk.

"First I have a few questions. Do you guys give out monthly statements to your clients? Also, we sent a letter yesterday asking for his accounts to be frozen until he could come in and speak with you, but when we talked to the teller they said that you received a letter this morning asking them to be unfrozen. Why did you ignore the part of them staying frozen till he arrives?" the goblin nodded.

"I will address your first question first. Yes, we do send out statements, but it depends on whose account it is for how often they get sent out. The Potter family for example gets weekly statements since they are a part of the royal family, where's the Black family gets monthly statements since they are a noble family. Since Harry here is the heir to both, I have taken over as the Black family manager unless you wish to have another take care of it." Vernon looked over at Harry trying to process what he was just told.

"What do you mean the Potter family is royal? I know we are related to the queen, but I thought it was just a noble family since there is a lot of distance between us." Harry said looking confused. Vernon just looked shocked and had hidden glee at the thought of his family being related to the queen.

"You are not wrong in your statement. In the muggle world you would be a simple noble, but you are a royal here. Before Hogwarts was first founded, one of the princes was found to have magic. He made a deal with the founders, they would teach him to control his magic, and they could use one of the vacation homes as a school. When he finished his schooling, the king as the time made him king of the magical world, as he figured the people would follow someone who had magic instead of someone who didn't. You are one of the last magical descendants of that king." Harry looked at him in shock. Vernon snapped out of his shock within a few minutes, and noticed that Harry wasn't going to continue, so he would.

"You said that he should be receiving weekly and monthly statements, so why hasn't he?"

Hogfang looked at him in shock. "What do you mean he hasn't been receiving his statements? I send them out personally!" Hogfang growled. He walked over to the door and yelled down the hall for someone to grab the Potter and Black family books. They waited a few minutes until a goblin walked in with two large books. Hogfang took them and waved the goblin off. He set them down at the desk.

"These are the statement books for both the Potter and Black families. The red one is the Potter Family and the green one is the Black Family. I would suggest we go through the Potter book first They might also explain the letter from this morning." Vernon nodded and pulled the book towards him. He turned to the week after Lily and James' death.

"This should be the best place to start. There shouldn't have been any money taken out accept what we were given to take care of him." Harry and Hogfang nodded and agreed. Vernon handed a few sheets to Harry and a few to Hogfang. "Mark anything that seems fishy."

Harry looked at the page. The dates were from January 3, 1982-Jaruary 9, 1982. He looked up at Hogfang, to see that he was getting angry.

"Do you keep records of who has access to the account and when they used it? I'm seeing a few transactions that should have been impossible." Vernon looked up at the goblin, who nodded, not trusting himself to talk. He opened the book to the back.

"People who have access to the account are as followed. Harry Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin. They were given access to the account by James and Lily Potter under the orders to take care of Harry when they died. There have been no transactions by Sirius or Remus. Albus Dumbledore, Molly and Arthur Weasley, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, and Hermione Granger were given access by Harry Potter at different times. There have been multiple transactions by all of them."

"That's impossible. I never gave anyone permission to use my accounts." Harry yelled standing up.

"They all came in with your signature saying that you gave them permission to use the accounts. Is it possible that they could have gotten ahold of your signature somehow? It could have been from any document that you signed."

"I have never signed any documents as far as I remember."

"Hmm this is a problem that we will have to look through with your permission."

"You have it." Hogfang nodded and made a note on one of the papers on his desk.

"You keep saying accounts. Are you saying that my nephew has more than one?" Vernon started to get a greedy look on his face.

"Yes, but most of them are frozen until he claims lordship of the family. He can claim it when he turns 17, he is the last heir to the main branch family, the Head of House is declared unfit or is dead, or he is already a lord of a family."

"What does this mean for me?" Harry asked

"Well it means that you are able to claim lordship of the Potter family as the last head of House is dead. Would you like to claim it? If you don't claim it, then it would go to your cousin Apollo." Hogfang asked

"Yes. What do I need to do?"

"Well if we had the Potter family ring this would be a lot easier, but the ring has been missing since Casper Potter had been declared unfit as Head. His son Haden never received the ring."

"You mean this ring?" Harry pulled the ring out of his pocket and showed it to the goblin. He looked shocked.

"Yes! That's the one. How did you find it? It's been missing for hundreds of years."

"I got it with a letter."

"May I see this letter?" Harry handed him the letter. Hogfang read it over.

"Well this certainly proves this is the real ring. Casper was the last to hold the ring before it went missing. Now all you have to do it put it on and say. 'I Harry James Potter, last heir of Lord James Potter, hereby claim the lordship of the Potter family under my right as the last magical blood Potter descended from the main branch.'"

"I Harry James Potter, last heir of Lord James Potter, hereby claim the lordship of the Potter family under my right as the last magical blood Potter descended from the main branch. So, mote it be." The air around him started to glow red and gold. Harry thought he heard the roar of a lion and a bright light appeared in front of him. The light disappeared, and he looked around. He was in the middle of a rose field with a lion in front of him. Just as soon as it happened it disappeared.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" Vernon yelled red in the face. "I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS FREAKISHNESS! WE WERE JUST SUPPOSED TO TALK MONEY AND NOW THIS CRAP. NOW BOY! WE ARE HEADING HOME." He walked out the door with Harry and Hogfang watching. Harry turned to the goblin.

"Make sure to lock my accounts so that I am the only one who can get in. If anyone tries to get in say that they need the Potter Lord's permission. Just don't tell them that I am the Potter Lord in possible. So, anything else I need to know about before I leave?" Hogfang nodded and pulled out a large piece of parchment paper.

"Just drip a little bit of blood onto the paper and it will tell you all living family members. Even if they are in a different dimension." Harry's eyes went wide and nodded as fast as he could. Hogfang handed him a knife and he pricked his thumb and let the blood drip onto the paper. After a few moments the paper glowed and black writing started writing itself onto the parchment. When it was finished, Hogfang handed it to Harry who looked at it. He sat down in the chair in shock. He really has family in the other world, the book wasn't lying. He has six members that are directly related to him in the other world. The first is a man named Monkey D. Dragon. He is a revolutionary. The second is his son Monkey D. Luffy, he is a pirate. The third is Gol/Portagas D Ace, a pirate as well. The fourth is a man named Shanks, a pirate. The fifth person is the only women family member he has. Her name is Nico Robin. The final person is Monkey D. Garp, a marine.

So, the original fic didn't have anything from when he got the book to when I'm starting the next chapter. I felt that it needed something to kind of give an idea of the Harry in the story. I built on what the original author wrote and came out like this. I hope you guys like this. I'm always open to new ideas and would love for someone to point out if I made any mistakes. I'm going to try and get the next chapter up as soon as I can it just depends on when I can finish it, but it will be as soon as possible! So please Review so I can get everyone's opinion!
