After dealing with the remanent soul of Voldemort from his mindscape, Harry formulated few of his plans.
Harry pointed his fingers at his dress and it transformed into a long cloak with its hood covering his face. The space twisted and Harry in an instant vanished from his room.

When he reappeared, he was standing in the shopping street of the magical Britain, Diagon alley.
With steady steps, Harry walked inside the Gringotts. The goblins at Gringotts as usual as if it was a moving photo, were in a serious demeanour and busy dealing with papers and customers on their desk.
Harry spotted an empty clerk and walked up to him. He did not beat around the bush or wasted time in 'useless greetings' as the goblins called it.
"I want an inheritance test," said Harry directly.
The goblin who was disturbed looked up and almost glared at Harry. He looked deeply at the hood covering his face but did not say anything about it. He said in an angry tone, "That would be 3 galleons."
Harry chuckled inwardly at this. Goblins hated inheritance test. Inheritance test may find suitable heirs to some vaults which goblins believed that someday it would be theirs, even if it was very rare for a lost heir of some wealthy vault to emerge suddenly.
Harry without delay pulled out the last of savings of the previous year and placed it on the table.
The goblin picked up the galleons and climbed down his chair.
"Follow," he said to Harry and walked ahead.
Harry followed behind the goblin clerk and arrived in small room.
"Wait here, while I make the preparation," said the goblin and walked out of the room, his face still having a mask of anger.
Harry shrugged his shoulder and took a comfortable seat on the chair.
It was around 10 minutes later that the goblin returned back.
In his hands, he was carrying a small square shaped stone block of pure white colour.
The goblin took the seat opposite Harry and placed the block on the table.
"Drop some blood on it," said the goblin placing a knife on the table.
Harry picked up the small knife and made a slit on his left. Blood drops fell on the stone block and was readily absorbed on it. After absorbing around 5 6 drops of blood the block started glowing in a golden light.
The glow subsided to reveal few texts which had appeared on the block.
Families of which Lordship can be claimed
1. Potter Family (Lord apparent)
2. Black Family (Third heir in line)
Harry looked at the block with a satisfied smile.
On the other hand the goblin was reeling from shock.
"Who are you?" He almost stammered.
Harry did not say anything and simply removed his hood revealing his face.
"Harry Potter," muttered the goblin.
"I believe this makes me eligible for a key for the Potter manor," said Harry. "I would like if you can do the required process."
Recovering from his shock, the goblin muttered, "Yes, right away."
He picked up the block and hurried in quick steps.

Harry continued to wait for another few minutes when the goblin came back. This time in his hand was a black stone block. The block was small in size with one side being around 1 cm.
"Will you be able to manage by yourself?" Asked the goblin.
Harry nodded and picked up the cube. He was about to get up when the goblin stopped him, "Mr. Potter, could you please wait?"
"The Potter family account manager would like to meet you. He is busy somewhere but will arrive shortly," added the goblin further.
Harry shook his head, "I am in bit hurry..."
"But do tell him," Harry continued. "I will come back soon."
With this Harry got up and walked out of the room.
He arrived outside Gringotts and with a twist of space vanished from Diagon alley.
.

When he reappeared, Harry was in vast expanse of green field. At the centre of the field was a massive manor made of pure black stones. It was one of the castles which could have rivalled Hogwarts in its majesty.
This was the same castle which Harry had blown up while returning back from the future. A satisfied smile hung on his face as he gazed at the castle.
He looked at the small stream of the water that was flowing nearby and his eyes flickered. Sitting near the stream and looking over the fields was one of the favourite things to do for Harry Potter in previous life.
In old and aristocratic families like Potters, as soon a child was born, he or she were immediately keyed to wards of the house.
But for some unknown reasons, Harry after his birth was never keyed to the wards.
Harry, without any doubt could have overpowered and breached the wards protecting the manor. But the Potter manor was designed in such a way that no matter the method used to breach the ward, the castle would have collapsed in rubbles in an instant.
Fortunately, his ancestors had made arrangements for an unforeseen situation. If any child could have not been keyed to the wards, he or she may could go to Gringotts to get a separate key.
Unfortunately, Harry for now would only have access to the main hall, kitchen and one room allotted to him.
He would have to key himself to the ward and that was only possible now after he takes up the Potter Lordship.
Harry sighed deeply thinking all of this and stepped forward. He moved close to the castle with the cube in his hands. When he was about 200 metres away from the castle, he felt the wards scanning him.
Moments later, the wards settled on him and Harry progressed further inside the castle.
