A tall man walks down the quiet street of Diagon Alley an important part of the British economy. Now, there are many other allies connected to Diagon only one of which is spoken of with whispers or dislike, and that is Knockturn Alley. Fortunately this young man was walking down the currect alley in search of his objective. Coming upon Ollivanders and finally stopping at the steps of Gringotts this individual removed the hood of his cloak to reveal a young man of perhaps twenty some years. Seeming to contemplate the building before him the young man shook his head with his shoulder length brown hair to moving with the motion. Sighing and adjusting his glasses perched in front of dancing blue eyes he heads up the steps.
Stepping throught the strongly warded front doors and into the bank proper he scans the entire room as if looking for something or someone. Not finding what he sought in plain site he walked up to the nearest teller. Clearing his voice to get the attention of the goblin at the counter he spoke clearly with an American accent. "My name is Michael Powers, and I'm here to collect my inheritance"
"You were sent a letter in regards to this?" Querried the goblin"
"Yes." Pulling a thick stack of parchment he handed them to the impatient goblin. "I was informed that I must come here to claim my ancestor's vault"
"Yes, this I can help you with. For a small fee we can handle the legalities placed upon inheritances by the British Ministry of magic. Given the simplicity in which the goblins deal for the Americans no such thing is needed there. They have requested that we extend that service to you. Would this be your preference?" Looking up at the young man for confirmation he quickly receives a nod in return. It is true that for most British families that have vaults here, they also have us deal with the legal aspects of passing wealth on to surviving family members." Commented the goblin carefully studying the parchments. "Our branch in the america's have more leeway with there policies than we do, but here we are completely impartial and follow signed wills to exacting standards. The ministry is very difficult to do business with in comparison to the American governments. In the end should no will be filed with us the vault will remain in perpetuity or untill the vault fees render the vault null and void."
Looking up in suprise from the parchments the goblin looks at Michael in awe.
"In your case that is unlikely as you are the eldest heir of...Godric Gryffindor."
Looking at the stunned goblin Michael asks the only question on his mind.
"Is that good?"
