Waking from a surprisingly deep and restful sleep, his nose twitching at the heavenly smell of delicious freshly cooked bacon.
As Harry sat up Dobby came rushing over, Harry  reached for his glasses and said "Morning Dobby," yawning Harry stretched and stood up " that breakfast looks great well done."
"Dobby does what is best sir. I will ready your bath and prep your clothes for the day whilst master eats." He replied.
"As long as you have eaten yourself too and no working yourself to hard, you take a rest whenever you feel the need to." Harry ordered as he went to the desk to eat.
"Master Harry Potter sir is the best Master for worrying about this elf." Said Dobby tearfully. "Dobby has never had anyone who cares that Dobby has eaten enough or would rest enough. Yous truly be a great wizard sir."
"Your welcome Dobby and its just Harry or Master if you insist ok." Harry said.
"Sorry Master Dobby forgot." He said looking panicked and the elf started to hit his head with his hands. Harry rushed from his seat to stop him.
"No stop, Dobby you must listen to me no punishment unless I tell you to do so. I mean it if you think you have done something wrong I want you to tell me and I will decide if it needs a punishment ok." Harry said holding the little elf still.
"Master is the best Dobby will not punish unless ordered. Master Harry is the kindest wizard in the world." Ssid Dobby sobbing.
"Thank you for that Dobby we have some more things to do today so I will finish breakfast and then we will go back to gringotts and look at the vaults and maybe some more shopping ok." Harry said hoping to distract the sobbing elf.
"Yes master Dobby will make the bed and place the clothes he brought for master to choose his outfit."
As Dobby spoke he brightened and began to bustle around happy to work. After breakfast and a nice hot bath curtacy of Dobby, Harry went to see what fashion tragedies Dobby had got for him. Looking at the array of clothes Harry was pleasantly surprised dull rainbow of colours the elf had chosen, the clothes were tastefully coloured and something Harry would have chosen himself. Something bright and Harry let out a small chuckle, a small bundle of brightly coloured sock peaked out near the end of the bed.
"Did I do well master?" Dobby asked worriedly.
"Yes of course you did." He replied picking up the colourful socks smiling at the stitches flying around the top of a bright purple one.  "Love the socks too well done." Harry chose a deep green tshirt and some dark pants with a dark purple robe and got dressed. Dobby brought over the shoes he had brought they were similar to his school shoes but would be ok for now. Harry wondered if he could go shopping in the muggle world as he would need new trainers, but not right now he could not go into London on his own maybe he could convince Lupin to come with him.
Glancing at the desk he could see the Crest on the postal box glowing. He crossed the room to open the box and found three letters. One from Gringotts detailing the date for the Will reading on Friday 14th August, two days the goblins were certainly efficient but it had be delayed 11 years.
The next was from Remus
Dear Harry
I was pleased to hear from you. Your father was one of my greats friends and I would be pleased to meet you. I will meet you on Thursday if acceptable we have much to discuss and I have many stories to tell you.
See you soon
Remus Lupin
That good thought Harry he couldn't wait soon Remus would know the truth and Sirius would be free.
The third letter was from Sirius detailing how he was settled in to his old home and hoped to hear from Harry soon. Harry wrote a quick note to him letting him know that the will would be read in the next few days and hopefully it would prove his innocence and they could be a family soon.
"Hedwig." Harry called and the owl flew down from her perch atop the wardrobe and on to the desk. "Give this to Sirius for me please." With a chirp of understanding she clutched the letter and flew out of the window Dobby had opened. Right then collecting the box of hier rings Harry left the room with Dobby following.
As Harry entered the bank he noticed the goblins looking at him with a certain amount of respect and awe. Approaching the counter the teller had a gleam in his eye and Harry said. "I would like to enter my vault please call for Griphook."
"As you wish Mr Potter he will be with you directly please follow Urnuk he will show you where to wait." The teller said. A small goblins appeared to Harry's right and gestured for Harry to follow. Walking down the hall he was shown to a small waiting room with chairs all around the room and a few wizards looking bored. As he waited with Dobby the wizards were shown out by several different goblins. Soon after Griphook entered and bowed to Harry.
"Mr Potter I understand that you want to go to your vaults please follow me."
"I was also hoping to get some help with the heir rings if you have some time." Harry asked carefuly following him from the near empty room.
"Of course my office is just through here." Said Griphook. Entering a small office he sat at the desk as indicated and the goblin began an explanation.
"As the inheritance test indicated you are heir to each of these houses start with the Potter ring. Place it on the middle finger of your left hand, good." As he spoke Harry opened the box and followed the goblins directions. "All heir rings protect the wearer from mind altering potions and offer a mild occlumency shield. The black ring next on the same finger it should merge with the Potter ring. Good, good now the Peverell ring that should merge with the others, yes now to change which ring you want to use simply twist the ring to the left for one and right for the other. Twist the ring until the Potter crest appears." Following Griphook's instructions Harry played with the ring until he could move them properly.
"Now you've got the hang of it the founders rings traditionally go on the ring finger of your right hand place them one after the other. Ah I see they have merged into the schools crest. I do not know what protections of enchantments are on the rings but it would be nothing harmful to you at least."
"Thank you Griphook, I can't thank you or Silvershard enough. I would be quite clueless about everything without you." Harry said playing with the rings to get used to the weight on his fingers.
"Ignorance is nothing to be ashamed off. We always help when asked to it's just most wizards don't ask us. You Mr Potter are a rarity among wizards." Replied the goblin.
"Well thank you." Harry said fighting the blush on his cheeks. "That was most informative I hope we can go to the vaults now?"
"Of course Mr Potter we will start with the founders vault as it is the deepest." Said Griphook and Harry nodded to him as they rose and left the room. The ride down to the founders vault was the longest he had ever been on and it was no suprise to anyone that he nearly threw up his breakfast after that ride.
They made their way passed a dragon and towards a plain looking vault with the hogwarts crest on the door.
"If you would place your ring into the depression the door will open for you." Said Griphook. Harry did as he was bid and the doors opened.
