With this in mind, I have several requests of you that I know I have no right to ask but I am doing it anyway. I don't know how much you know about the way things work and I hold myself responsible for that but if you were to absorb a house, any living members of that house would be automatically be made members of your house. What this means is that you need to cast out Bellatrix Lestrange, Narcissa Malfoy, and Draco Malfoy before you attempt to absorb the house into your own. To do this would take back any monies that were paid concerning marriages as well as call immediately due any monies borrowed from the family vaults.
I have it on good authority that the Malfoy's fortune will be greatly diminished if you do this.
I have another request that I am hesitant to ask but again I will do it anyway. I have a cousin named Andromeda Tonks who was kicked out of the Black family for marrying a muggleborn. To be quite honest, she was the best of us and refused to help me in any way after learning of my betrayal of you. She, her husband, and her daughter are good and honest people. They are the type of people you need around you so my request is that you bring her back into the family. It will automatically include her daughter and will provide you with a supportive family to help you in life.
The title of Lord Black came with one stipulation. It was an old marriage contract between the House of Black and that of Greengrass. I have heard that you are close to Cyrus' eldest daughter and I left the contract in place but with a few changes.
I don't know what you know about marriage contracts and again I blame myself for your lack of knowledge but they are permanently binding and will transfer over even if the family is absorbed. I will leave this decision up to you but she and Miss Jones would be a strong force to help you in changing the world. Anyway, what I did was sacrifice my magic to change the terms of the contract. In the original contract, you had no choice in the matter but now you do without causing any of the normal penalties. Don't feel guilty about me giving up my magic to help you as I already owe you my life several times over and it is my job to provide you with the best possible choices for your life. This is the real reason behind by trip through the Veil. I apparated to Gringotts and did what needed to be done before writing this letter. My plan is to use the last of my magic to apparate into the Death Chamber and step through the Veil.
I'm sorry I couldn't be the man you needed in your life and wish you the best. Never doubt that I didn't love you. I just couldn't get my act together enough to be strong enough to be who I needed to be.

Harry looked up from the letter with a blank expression on his face. The Goblins gave him a minute to collect himself before asking what he would like to do next. Harry looked up and said "Griphook, I hate to ask but could you retrieve the Black family engagement ring?"
Ironfist asked "You're going to enact the contract?"
"No, I'm going to ask Daphne what she wants. The ring is just if she decides that is what she wants and Megan approves."
"What about the House of Black?"
Harry stood and said "I, the Lord Black, hereby cast Bellatrix Lestrange, Narcissa Malfoy, and Draco Malfoy out of the House of Black and forever bar their return. So Mote it Be."
There was a flash of magic as the magic took effect. He then turned and asked "I've never met the Tonks family so would I be able to bring them into my family at a later time?"
"Of course Milord."
Harry nodded. "I, Lord Harrison James Peverell, do hereby absorb the House of Black into my family and declare the line extinct. So Mote It Be."
A flash of light accompanied the statement and the Black file disappeared only to make the Peverell files grow even larger. Harry then turned to Ragnok "I want every Knut returned to my family from anyone who has chosen to steal from us. I also claim the personal vault of Bellatrix Lestrange as she opened it when she was a member of my family. Once this is done, have a team go in and retrieve Hufflepuff's cup from the vault and bring it to me. It is embedded with dark magic and should not be touched."
"Yes Milord. At once."
Ragnok snapped his fingers and several Goblins appeared. He gave them instruction and they ran off quickly. Once they were gone, Harry turned to Ironfist and asked "So, what do you know of horcruxes?"
