Luna said "So you think that the power of the Hallows would die when the last person in the Peverell line dies."
Harry looked down and said "I don't think the power would die. Maybe it needs the Peverell blood or magic to activate it. Maybe giving me the cloak was an experiment to see if it would work for me."
Daphne said "He's probably set up a will in your name and named himself as your beneficiary. He wants control over House Potter who is technically the last great light house. The presence of Bearclaw half way confirms this."
Luna said "No, he wants House Peverell. That would be the key but it wouldn't be that easy or else he would have never given you the cloak."
Harry asked "So do you think this is too far fetched?"
Megan answered "Everything he has done to you reinforces the theory and the fact that he killed you grandfather supports it. If we had proof about your parents, I'd say it would be definite."
"So what do we do about it?"
Daphne said "I don't know Harry. Let's give it some thought but it's not really something I think you would want to be known. I'm honored that you would trust me with this."
Harry smiled "Why wouldn't I trust you Daphne, you're my friend and friends help each other. All of you have done so much for me so I think I should repay the favor."
Daphne said "You know you don't owe us anything."
Harry said "I know but you and your families have been the first real support I have ever had. I wouldn't feel right about destroying your family fortunes."
Megan gasped out "What are you talking about Harry?"
"Tell your families that they need to start quietly moving everything out of Gringotts this summer. They are up to their necks in this whole thing and if I have my way, House Potter will no longer associate itself with them any longer than I have to which means I will be taking everything I am entitled to out of their hands."
Daphne said "That would be problematic for them. I don't know numbers but rumor has it that they use Potter money to fund most of their endeavors. It was an agreement set up in the beginning when they helped the Goblins get their start just like they have done for many families."

They got up from the rock and began walking around the grounds lost in thought as the final task approached. Luna led them to a small tent and said "I think we need to be here. Go inside."
Megan stuck her head in the tent flap and then with a smile, quickly tugged Harry inside. Once the four stepped in, they found a large conference room where all of their families were talking. As soon as they were noticed, Reginald jumped up and said "Ah there you are. We were hoping we'd get a chance to speak again today. We would like your input on a few things before we make any moves."
Harry replied "I'm sure I would be fine with anything you decide as long as Megan, Cedric, and Daphne agree to it. They have done a really good job of preparing me but as this afternoon showed, I still rely heavily on their advice."
Megan took Harry by the hand and personally introduced him to each and every person that Harry didn't know. When she sat down, she said "I thought it would be easier if Harry was not talking to strangers. We've all had the advantage of knowing each other for years where Harry has not. I apologize for this Harry but his biggest fear is looking like a fool in front of you and you thinking he's not worth your time."
Cecelia Diggory rose and walked over to Harry. She placed her hand on his shoulder and said "You never have to worry about that. Our children believe in you and we know how ill prepared you are for all that you face. If that isn't enough, James and Lily's son could never be unworthy in our eyes."
Reginald Jones said "Yes Harry, don't worry about that. My daughter seems to be making her intentions quite clear so you'll at least always have House Jones to back you up."
Megan blushed as several people chuckled at his comment. Harry merely nodded and took them by surprise. "The day Megan came into my life was the day my life started turning around. I would be lost without her."
As a joke, Cedric said "Look out Uncle Reg, you'll be writing up a betrothal contract before long."
Playing along with Cedric, Harry said "That may not be a bad idea but it will have to wait until I have more say in the affairs of my house."
Megan stared at him with a wide smile. Daphne laughed and said "Our families don't do that kind of thing anymore Harry. We just told you about them in case you had to deal with one for being from such an old family. You just basically said you intended to marry Megan. Do we need to go back for more lessons because I know you were taught to watch your words more carefully?"
Harry gave Daphne that smirk that infuriated her and said "I learned my lessons well my dear sister."
As soon as she processed what had been said, her eyes grew wide and the room got very quiet. Harry had made two very pointed comments regarding Megan and now Daphne. His referring to her as his sister publicly was the closest thing to an adoption between the ancient houses without actually sharing blood especially when he made the claim in front of several Lords including her father. Megan reacted by giving him a passionate kiss in front of the whole group and after they finished, it was quite clear of her thoughts on the matter as she could have been facing Harry's horntail and the smile still wouldn't have come off her face. When Megan was finished with him, the normally stoic Daphne was out of her seat and pulled him into a hug as well. She said "I feel the same way about you to. The brother I never had."
Megan turned to her mother and said "By the way mother, the next time you decide to try and convince me of something, make sure you aren't contradicting yourself. You and Aunt Cecelia used that particular example when you were talking about the arcane magic tied to Most Ancient and Noble Houses."
