A/N: Hey everyone! Just in time for the new year, I'm posting this chapter. It took me a while to write this chapter, what with Real Life being in the way and all. Hope ya'll like it.
Chapter Five
Inheritance and Abilities
Location: Gringotts Bank - Washington, D.C. Branch
Date: Thursday, July 11th, 1996
Time: 9:32 A.M. (EST)
"What do you mean you heard a voice Harry?" Katie asked her boyfriend, concern clear in her voice.
"Just as soon as I put the ring on, I heard my father's. The only other time I heard his voice, was when I was near Dementors." Harry explained
"Well, it is rumored for a Lord's Ring to have some abilities." Said Hogbane, "Though, usually, hearing an Ancestor once the ring is put on the new Lord of their House, is actually more common than you think. Past Ancestors will give you advice from time to time, but you won't be able to have regular conversations like we are with them."
Harry nodded, understanding what Director Hogbane said about the Head of House Rings. Then Harry noticed the other ring in the box.
"What's that one for?" Harry asked, pointing at the other ring.
"Hm?" Hogbane said distractedly. Then he glanced down to where the Young Lord was pointing at. "Ah! Yes, that one is also for you." He said, "The Late Lord Black had named you as his Primary Heir to the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black before he recently died. And since you have been Emancipated per your Parent's Will, you can take up Lordship of the House of Black."
"What?" Harry asked, surprised at the new turn of events. "Who was the..." Harry immediately put two and two together and realized that it was "Sirius?" He asked, to no one in particular. "Sirius named me his Heir?" Harry said, awed that his Godfather would do such a thing.
"Yes," Hogbane said "Sirius Orion Black the Third, though he was cast out by his Mother, Walburga Black, he was never officially cast out by the then current Lord Arcturus Sirius Black, his grandfather on his father's side, who had died about six years ago, a year after Lord Sirius's Mother had past, and just before you started Hogwarts."
"So... my Godfather was actually..."
"Sirius Orion Black the Third, Lord of the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black." Hogbane said "Now, you may choose to put the ring on now, or you can do so at a later date. Your choice."
Harry sat there, staring at the Lord of Black Ring. He wondered why his godfather had made him his Heir, other than being the only Family that Harry knew of. After a minute or so, Harry shook his head and pushed the box back.
"I don't feel ready to take up another House yet." Harry said "In a few years maybe, but not now."
"Alright then," Hogbane said, "This'll be kept in one of the Potter Vaults here in the U.S. for when you're ready to take up the Black Lordship." Hogbane explained as he closed the box and set it aside. "Now, are you ready for your Inheritance and Abilities Test?" Hogbane asked, Harry nodded his head in acceptance. "It's basically the same procedure, but three drops of blood, instead of five, onto this golden parchment. No speaking is required." Hogbane explained while gently pushing the golden parchment towards Harry.
Harry did as told and took the runic knife again and sliced the same palm as before. He let three drops poor onto the golden parchment, and just like the Marauder's Map, the ink (Or rather, his blood), filled out the entire page, perfectly legible. Here's what he read:

Harry stayed quiet long after he finished reading the golden parchment that listed his Inheritance and Abilities. He had no idea what half of his Abilities are, and he had an idea of why his Occlumency was almost permanently damaged. I really fucking hate you Snivellus. He thought venomously towards his most hated Hogwarts Potions Professor. He also wished he studied Runes instead of Divination with Ron. He wondered why he even took that damn class in the first place. All it ever did for him was predict his death. Every... single... class...
"You okay Harry?" Katie asked her boyfriend after several long minutes of silence from him.
"Yeah." Harry said, looking up at his girlfriend's concerned eyes. "I'm fine. I just don't know what half of these abilities are."
"What are they?" She asked, curiosity getting the better of her.
"Uh..." He checked his list again "Full Metamorphmagus, I already knew that, Parselmouth, that was a fun year…, Novice Runemaster, Novice Telepath, Fire Elemental, and a Natural Occlumencer."
"Okay…" Katie muttered, "I can help you with Runes, and maybe with the basics of Occlumency, but you're on your own with the other three babe." She finished
"Not necessarily." Director Hogbane said, "There are tutors in America in those subjects that will gladly help out. In fact, you can be practically homeschooled in America and take your O.W.L.'s and N.E.W.T.'s in the MACUSA Government Headquarters right here in Washington D.C. on the Theodore Roosevelt Island. America's O.W.L.'s are taken at the age of sixteen, instead of fifteen unlike your Magical British Government, and your N.E.W.T.'s are taken at the age of nineteen, instead of seventeen."
Harry sat there for a few minutes contemplating on what to do for his schooling. Learning these abilities sounded really interesting if he was honest with himself. Also, he knew he was instinctively holding himself back in his studies. Now that he was practically free of the bias and fear of Magical Britain, he feels like he could earn his status in the world instead of it being cast upon him like the Boy-Who-Lived crap. Really, his Parents were the real heroes that night and did they get any recognition? No.
"I think I'll take you up on that offer." Harry said, or rather, Evan Carver said as he shook hands with Hogbane and between the three of them, they made plans for Evan's and his girlfriend, Stacey Bowen's future.
A/N: Next chapter is actually going to be a time skip of about ten years or so. That'll take me a bit of time to have background information on what's been happening in Magical Britain while Harry... ahem, Evan and his girlfriend are living life away from the War. So, until then... Happy New Year everyone! 12/31/17
