Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!
Authors note: Ok now that we have that out of the way, This is story is post OOP. But I have chose to place in today's time instead of when the real time line. I will try to stay true to real world events but I may just sci-fi them or guess. Voldemort and the Deatheaters are still around. This is a Honks story but will develop as I feel. I would love help with pointers and ideas.
Chapter 1. Planning
"And that will conclude the read of the will of Sirius Black." Said Griphook
"Now if every one wouldn't mind leaving there is a part of the will that pertains to Harry alone."
Everyone go up. Remus and Tonks both came up to Harry and gave him a hug.
"I will owl you later" Tonks said to Harry while Dumbledore tried to talk to him but he just shot daggers at him till he left.
Griphook looked at Harry.
"I am your new account manager Harry."
He looked at Harry, who was the only person in the Gringotts Conference room, still having an empty look upon his face.
"You have now heard the wills of your parents and your Godfather. You have been emancipated due to the conclusion of these wills. The tracking charms have been lifted from your residence and your wand. A complete list of your money and assets can be brought up now if you wish. May I do anything else for you, Mr. Potter?"
Harry looked at him and had a slight lost look in his eye. Sitting in a comfortable chair helped him relax to think. He waited for a few moments and thought about what he wanted to say. Griphook started to walk around to the front of the desk and stood in front of it.
"Yes, if you wouldn't mind." Harry said as he sat up in the chair. "Please as I said earlier call me Harry. I would like to see the complete assets I have. I was wondering if you have a card or something of the like that I can spend in the muggle world and be exchanged and taken out of my vault here?"
Griphook smile, and for a goblin that was kind of scary to Harry.
"Yes we do offer that. It looks and acts like a muggle credit card. It works at Muggle and Magical stores. The price of purchase and charge here, taken out of your vault and converted using standard exchange rate. The card is priced at 45 galleons a month and is offered at half the line of the vault you draw it against. I would advise that you wait to see all of the vaults so that you can make an informed decision on which vault to use it for."
Harry still had a slightly lost look on his face, but understanding of all that has happened was there starting to kick in.
"Thank you. I do believe that would work."
Griphook motioned to a goblin and turned.
"A goblin has left to get the list of assets for you. I will go get the appropriate paper work for the card. Please wait here for me." Griphook said as left the room.
"Thank you."
Harry stood up and walked around the conference room, with a while of window that were white during the reading but now were clear. He now realized that there were enough chairs in here for 25 people. 'A good size family', he thought to himself as he was now starting to pace the room. 'I can escape the arseholes Dursleys now' he smiled at that.
'But I am truly sick of everything here, especially everything with Riddle. But where will I go and what will I do? Shite. School, friends, everything. I could use a change for a while.'
He had paced for a few moments till he saw thru the window that Griphook was starting to come back, crossing the lobby and went back to his chair.
"Well here are all the forms for the card. Just leave the vault number out till you decide which one." Said Griphook, passing all the parchments and a quill to Harry. Harry started filling them out. "It will take a few minutes longer to get the list of assets. Please also enjoy some tea while we wait."
A goblin started pushing a cart in with a kettle and two cups and saucers.
"Also Harry when you use at muggle stores you can use it as a muggle credit card. When you go to a magical store, tap the card with your wand and say the amount and who it is for and a slip will be made for the purchase. Give that to the cashier and they will know what to do."
Harry nodded and kept on writing. As twenty minutes went buy, Harry was almost done with the forms. Then the little goblin came back and handed a parchment folder to Griphook.
"Thank you" said Harry to the goblin as he left, who just nodded back.
Griphook then opened and looked over the contents before passing them over to Harry.
"These are to the nearest galleon amount. They do not include things such as books, scrolls, weapons and armor. We are able to show you how much jewels are worth in each of the vault. Also this letter is the reason we need to meet in private." Griphook said placing the letter down next to the files.
"Holy bloody hell" Harry exclaimed as he opened to the first page which read.

Harry just stared at the folder. It had tabs for every different part. It just kept going on. Listing properties, stock investments, and Business partnerships. Harry glanced over properties page.

Harry closed the folder and sighed. He then added vault # 65 to the card form parchments and then handed them to Griphook, who passed them to a goblin.
"It will all be done in a few minutes, Harry."
"Griphook, are there any other magic schools in the states?"
Griphook looked at the teen with wonder.
"Yes there are. I can have the pamphlet and the registration request owled to you by tomorrow morning. There are many different ones thru out the world. I do believe that there is a school by each of your properties. Which area were you thinking of?"
"More then enough, thank you. I don't know about the area yet. I'm thinking of being an exchange student or be a transfer student entirely. I will owl you I get an idea on what one I would like to look at. I have some rather important decisions to make and I would like to think them thru. Is it ok if I come back within a week?"
"Harry, you politeness is largely greater then a regular wizard. I am you account manager, I am available any time you need me. Also to let you know there a Gringotts branches near each of your larger properties."
When he finished the goblin came back in and handed Harry a card.
"Again, thank you." Harry said, as he stood up, picked up the backpack next to his chair, and turned to leave but sat back down with a wondering thought.
"Griphook, does Dumbledore know of what I spend?"
The little goblin looked at Harry
"Yes, he did. He had an arrangement with one of the senior goblins, but he passed away this week. When Sirius will was to be carried out, he came to me to try to bribe me but I turned him down."
"THAT BLASTED OLD COD!" Harry yelled and then more softer "He has no right to know that information.
Griphook did the toothy smile
"I know Harry. That is why I turned him down. As of right now you are in the top three percent of the wealthiest people in England. It would be very bad for Gringotts to make you mad. Your business is important to us."
Harry calmed down and thought about what he had said.
"Thank you Griphook. I greatly appreciate it. I am sorry I took up so much of your time. I will see my self out. Thank you for every thing today."
"Harry do not think any thing of it. I will talk to you later."
Harry got up and walked out of Gringotts. Across from the bank was a small clothing store. Harry quickly strode across and went inside when he realized that people were staring at him. He quickly bought a black cap and paid. After he put that cap on he went outside and did a quick check to make sure no one he really didn't want was following him, and went to the Leaky Cauldron and sat down. After a quick lunch of fish and chips he went to Tom and paid for lunch and ten shrunken cases of butter beer, holding 80 bottles per case, that were safely tucked away in his pockets.
Smiling 'On now to muggle London' and he went to go buy clothes.
