The Madame's School

Chapter 1

Harry had forgotten all about the letter he sent to gringotts by the time he was put back in his cage (read room). The Dursleys had decided that since the new Mrs. number six had changed her garden theirs needed an update too. Never mind that Mrs. number six was a man stealing home wrecker (Aunt Petunia's words not his) their garden simply had to be the best. So Harry had spent all day on his hands and knees working on the garden.

As such Harry was understandably surprised to find a falcon sitting patiently next to Hedwig (Who was preening herself and cooing at the falcon) with a letter in it's beak. Harry grabbed some of the ham from the ham sandwich that was supposed to be his dinner and offered it to the falcon as well as taking the letter from the falcon. Biting into the remains of his sandwich Harry noticed an intricate wax crest on the letter that looked vaguely familiar. Figuring that if he recognized the seal it couldn't be from a death eater and therefore cursed Harry opened it up.

Dear Mr. Potter,

We here at Gringott's bank would be happy to discuss with you the allocation of funds so you may transfer schools. Please note that the letter we sent you will double as a portkey set to activate after you speak the activation word which is Galleon. We here at Gringotts apologize for the inconvenience of having you use a portkey given your recent traumatic experience with portkey's however this is the only method mutually available to us so we may meet. Upon entering the portkey chamber someone will be alerted and you will be brought to meet me.

Yours in Trust,
Trickfang
Senior Account Manager of the Potter Family Account and Potter Family Trust

Once again thinking with less then a full night of sleep and exhausted from being worked like a house elf Harry didn't even really think all he said was "Galleon,".

The first thing Harry noticed after landing with the portkey was that he was in a large circular room done in bronze tones with a domed ceiling. There were several benches along the walls made of what appeared to be brass each of which was equidistant from all the others. The room was lit by golden torches that were on either side of each of the benches. The main feature however was clearly the large arched doorway that was currently being opened by a tired looking older goblin who clearly had been expecting him.

"Good evening Mr. Potter I am Gimleteye and I will be your guide through Gringotts if you will follow me we will be leaving promptly for your meeting with your account manager," said Gimleteye before he began to tiredly shuffle away clearly very close to retirement age.

Seeing no other option Harry began to follow the older goblin down the halls "I'm sorry it's so late I only just got the letter,".

"Thats quite alright youngling we here at gringotts remain open at all hours due to the fact that some of our clientele are nocturnal," said the tired old goblin.

"I have been working the night shift here for a very long time," began the old goblin "I was reaching middle age when Albus Dumbledore himself entered these halls for the very first time,".

"But that is of no matter," said Gimleteye as he stopped in front of a large door "Your account manager's night assistant is fetching him now go ahead inside and sit down youngling,".

The old goblin then began to shuffle away mumbling about the history of the bank. Seeing no reason not to Harry walked into the office and sat in the chair clearly set up for visitors. The office itself was very spartan in it's furnishing style with little in there except the desk which was a large granite masterpiece shined to a bright sheen. The walls only had one adornment which was a large tapestry on the back wall which was full of goblin names and made of what appeared to be silver linen.

After waiting for what felt like an hour but was probably only ten minutes the door opened. The goblin that opened the door was a little odd looking. Whereas most goblin's had orangeish skin with dark hair and eyes this goblin was bald with grey skin and dark eyes. He was also slightly taller then most of the goblins Harry had met so far. The goblin did however have the sharp features goblins were known for.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting Mr. Potter I am Trickfang," said the odd looking goblin introducing himself "Since this is our first meeting and you are young yet I will forgive your staring but if you must know my great grandmother was a cave troll,".

"I'm terribly sorry Trickfang," began Harry "I didn't mean to stare."

"It's quite alright Mr. Potter," said Trickfang "However you came here because you want to transfer schools, however before we begin there is a small matter to deal with regarding your account,".

"My account?" asked Harry "Yes we have sent out several requests to speak with you over the years however your magical guardian has assured us every time that you didn't wish to speak with us,".

"I'm sorry but this must be a mistake I don't have a magical guardian," said Harry who was very confused.

The odd looking goblin looked oddly constipated for a second before he pulled out of his desk and tapped a large round black stone which at his touch began to glow green from within before speaking "You mean to tell me that a one Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore Headmaster of Hogwarts, Supreme Mugwump of the Wizengamot, and Chief Warlock of the International Confederation of Wizards has failed to inform you of his legally appointed status as your magical guardian by a month before your eleventh birthday yes or no answers please Mr. Potter,".

"No he didn't but-," began Harry in a confused voice only to be cut off by Trickfang who turned the glowing stone off before speaking again "Thank you Mr. Potter as is procedure as dictated by the Goblin-Wizard Treaty of 1742 we here at Gringotts acting as representatives of both under aged orphaned heirs and the goblin nation do have authority in matters regarding replacement of guardians if they prove inadequate,".

"Seeing as Mr. Dumbledore failed to inform you of his appointment way past his deadline we here at gringotts are your new guardians en loco parentis and in nostra iura,".

"My new guardian what does that mean," said Harry suddenly beginning to regret coming here.

"As far as Gringotts is concerned it means we will now supervise all of your legal matters the way we have your financial matters until you are an adult in whatever society you come of age in," began the goblin "As such several law suits will now be opened for defamation of character, unlawful use of a minor's endorsement, libel, and slander,".

"Furthermore you will be removed from your current household and their memories will be inspected for abuse of your person and upon proof positive we will begin matters to press charges against your current caretakers," said the goblin. "You will be placed in one of the properties owned by you with house elves for caretakers with a goblin coming to inspect your house hold once a month,".

"We here at Gringotts do not care which school you go to so long as you can afford to go there and you maintain your grades while in attendance," finished the goblin,

"So I'm being taken from the Dursley's and I can attend The Madame's School," asked Harry "Yes Mr. Potter of course this means our standard one percent fee will now be increased to five percent until you come of age and we will require you to take several tests so we can be reasonably sure of what your needs are also since you are set on The Madame's School be aware that we will assist your transfer to another school should you be dropped from their program,"

"What tests," asked Harry.

"We will do a general health scan to see what you need in order to make sure you are in optimum health as well as a magical core scan to check your magical health," began Trickfang "Furthermore we will do an Inheritance test to see which Vaults you are eligible for so we can make sure your monetary well being is also optimal,"

"Um how do these tests work?" asked Harry.

The goblin pulled out three separate bowls, three separate knives and three pieces of paper. The first set was a jade bowl with a bone handled silver knife and faintly glowing white paper. The second was a clear quartz bowl with a wooded bladed knife with a handle that was shifting colors slowly and a grey roll of parchment paper. The third was a golden bowl with a marble hilted golden knife and a silver colored roll of parchment.

"I will require three drops of blood in the first bowl, seven in the second and one in the third," said Trickclaw "I will then mix your blood with the necessary potions which we will then use with a dictoquill to write the results on the paper,".

"What about my godfather what about Sirius," said Harry.

"We here at gringotts are aware of Mr. Black's innocence and will begin proceedings to have a trial held for him and when he is cleared of all charges he will be placed in your household and he will have a overall health evaluation to see how we would handle guardianship,".

"Now Mr. Potter your hand please," said Trickfang. When Harry offered his hand one by one the odd looking goblin methodically cut Harry making sure only to use the proper knives and taking only as much blood as was needed. He then dumped an off-white potion in the jade bowl followed by a mint green potion and then what appeared to be water but smelled like rotting fish from as far away as Harry was sitting. The goblin then stirred the ingredients together and dipped a dictoquill in the potion and it began to write in a light green ink on the white paper.

Once the dictoquill had finished writing the goblin proceeded to read the softly glowing white parchment aloud:

Medical Problems currently experienced by Harrison James Potter

Improperly set knee bones

Improperly set shoulder bone

Improperly set collar bone

Blood Abnormality caused by the presence of basilisk venom in patients system constantly being healed by the presence of phoenix tears in patients system

Impaired eyesight caused by warped inner eye lens due to early life bright light exposure

Mild malnutrition caused by improper diet

Soul Fragment embedded in scar located on forehead

"WHAT DOES IT MEAN SOUL FRAGMENT," shouted Harry.

"Mr. Potter please calm down as all of these problems can be dealt with and handled accordingly," began Trickclaw " The bone problems, malnutrition and your eye sight can all be dealt with by potions easily enough,".

"As for the soul fragment in your curse scar it can be dealt with interestingly enough by something you already have in your system," began Trickfang "Due to the basilisk blood and phoenix tears being in your system both acting as powerful foreign magic elements in your system you were always going to go through a creature inheritance in order to compensate,".

"If we were to use a custom ritual to both induce this inheritance and empower these ingredients the basilisk venom would kill the soul fragment and the phoenix tears would keep you alive," said Trickfang.

"And what would I become I just want to be normal just Harry," said Harry.

"The magic of the ritual would search your ancestry to find a creature that could accommodate both phoenix and basilisk DNA so it would undoubtedly be something naturally dark and winged or naturally light but scaled as for your identity it shouldn't affect your personality beyond altering your instincts,".

"What if it finds nothing," asked Harry anxiously deciding to deal with the issue of normalcy later when their were less problems to deal with.

"Then the ritual would create a hybridized amalgamation of human, basilisk and phoenix and you would be a chimera which is officially a magically created mix of various creatures," replied Trickfang who was apparently just as level headed as he was crafty.

"Why are you being so helpful," asked Harry suspiciously.

"Because when I was a young goblin your father saw something in me worth replacing his old corrupt account manager with and I'm returning the favor as he made sure my line was prosperous so I will do the same for him," said Trickfang.

"I have worked for years to attempt to get you out from under Dumbledores thumb and I'm going to make sure you have all the chances you always should have had Mr. Potter," finished Trickfang to Harry who was flattered by the goblin's praise of his father.

"Now I will do the inheritance test but the magical core test will have to wait until after we heal you as your magical core will change after your inheritance," said Trickfang once again all business. Pulling a series of potions out of his desk once more he dumped them one by one into the golden bowl and mixed them together. Before dipping a dictoquill into the bowl as he did before he ladled a small amount out and poured a drop onto an ornate looking box. After the box flashed a golden color the goblin dipped a dictoquill into the concoction and it began to write.

After the dictoquill finished writing in it's golden ink the goblin picked up the parchment and began to read it.

"I'm sorry how much money did you say," said Harry before almost passing out which he would have done had he not been immediately doused in cold water produced from a goblet pulled out of Trickfang's desk.

"I'm sorry Mr. Potter but we don't have a lot of time left," apologized Trickfang insincerely.

"Since you will be undergoing a procedure here we will provide you with a room for you to rest in tonight as a guest of the goblin nation as our ritual goblins prepare for your ritual tomorrow," said Trickfang.

Trickfang then tapped a specific portion of his desk in a random pattern before telling Harry to follow him as he got up from behind his desk. After following Trickfang down a seemingly random series of hallways they arrived at a nondescript door. Trickfang then let Harry into the room and bid him goodnight before telling him some potions would arrive for him in the morning. Suddenly feeling all of the exhaustion of the past couple weeks hitting him all at once his head hit the pillow and Harry knew he would regret falling asleep but he simply couldn't stay awake another second.


A/N Umm yeah so I know this is a little cliché but I want to deconstruct the clichés on this type of fic and build on them so it will get better. Also if anyone wants to beta this that would be great cause I'm not the best at editing.
