Harry followed behind his dad with Zagnok and Kasuzn walking beside him and Ramiz, Tanog and Ranog falling behind to stop the goblins from coming up and congratulating Harry. Harry was fitting back tears as he clutched his arm to his chest and when they reached Rangnok's office he let them go and collapsed into a chair as Kasuzn started healing his injuries as the rest of his family stood off to the side. When Kasuzn was done she flung her arms around him.
"Oh Harry you did great dear." She said hugging him tightly.
"Can't breath." Harry said and she let go with an embarrassed look on her face and stepped back as Ragnok and his brothers stepped forward.
"You did do great Harry we are all proud of you and wish to welcome you to the family in blood and name." Ragnok said pulling out a sheet of paper and giving it to Harry as Ranog held out a stone basin with runes covering it. Harry quickly read the paper and saw it was to change his name to Harry James Potter-Aurumcustos. He signed his name in English and Gobbledygook. Then put a drop of blood next to it. He then looked at his family who were surrounding the basin. He saw them each cut there palm and let there light green blood fall into the basin.
"All right Harry just cut your palm and place it inside of the basin and I will activate it making it mix your blood with ours then it will absorb into your hand." Ranog said and Harry nodded his head and did as instructed by his brother and the blood mixed making it a weird brown color before Ranog started to chant and tapped the basin with his finger and it glowed before the blood started to absorb back into his cut and when it was done it healed his hand. After his hand was healed Harry was embraced by his family before they made there way to the goblin village where there was a party with the whole clan for Harry's victory.

The next morning Harry was woken by a knocking at his door. He opened it to see Rangnok standing there.
"Get dressed in your best robes Harry. You are working as an exchange clerk from now on." He said and Harry jumped up with a grin.
"Yes!" he shouted in joy. "I'll be down in a few minutes." He said and quickly gathered a pair of jeans and a black tank top to wear under his robes and went and took a shower. When he was done he went back to his room and went through his closet and pulled out a black Acromantula silk robe with the Aurumcustos crest on it. After strapping his twin swords to his waist he pulled the robes on then his boots then he went to his dresser and picked up the large emerald he had found while exploring with his brothers one day and slipped it in his pocket. After he was done he quickly ran down stairs where his family was once again waiting for him but this time they cheered as he entered making him blush as he sat down to eat breakfast.
"So, nervous about the first day." Rangnok asked as Kasuzn put food on his plate.
"Uhh yeah kinda. So when was it decided I was to join the clerks." Harry said
"Just last night as Glamrook was a main clerk and can't work anymore all the goblins got promotions and they saw fit to ask for you to join there ranks for the beginning of the summer until it slows down then you will be going to the carts instead of just as a clerk or guard whenever you were needed." Rangnok said and Harry nodded his head happily. "Though there were a few people asking about you becoming a guard with how you fought." He said making everyone laugh.
After they were done eating Harry and Rangnok said goodbye and with many 'good lucks' thrown to Harry they left for work. When they got to hall way leading to the many doors to Gringotts, Rangnok lead Harry all the way down to his office.
"Good luck son. I hope you have a great first day." Rangnok said and gave Harry a hug before shooing him out of the door. Harry left the office and walked towards the lobby with a smile threatening to split his face. When he got to the door leading to the lobby Harry stopped and with his practiced Occlumency skill's easily wiped the smile from his face and he put on an air of indifference that most goblins wore all the time. After he did that he opened the door and stepped into the lobby which was starting to get a few people entering it. He walked towards the main doors which the exchange desk were located off to the left side.
"Ah Mr. Potter-Aurumcustos we are glad to have you joining us." Said the goblin that met him by the first of the three desks. "My name is Ayke. I am the head of the exchange clerks. Your desk is here at the end." Ayke said walking Harry to his desk at the end closest to the door. "You know how to work everything"
"Yes I do. To exchange galleons into pounds you insert it into the box on the left side of the desk and engage the charms which then will send it to the Gringotts vault and the pounds will appear in the box on the right side and then the opposite for pounds to galleons. Exchange rate is six pounds to the galleon." Harry said and Ayke nodded his head.
"Perfect." He said before walking away and Harry sat down at his new desk and started looking busy just like all of the other goblins by pulling out his emerald and acting like he was studying it. He heard foot steps stop right in front of him and some one clear there throats.
"Can I help you." he asked as he looked up and saw the Minister of magic and Headmaster Albus Dumbledore standing before him with a group of Aurors standing behind them. "Hello Minister Fudge. Dumbledore. How may I help you today? Do you need to convert some gold." Harry asked as sat down his emerald.
"No Mr. Potter we are here to bring you back to your aunt and uncle." Dumbledore said his twinkle on full blast.
"Ok, yeah no I don't think I will be going and my name is Potter-Aurumcustos, blood son of Rangnok and Kasuzn Aurumcustos. So if you have no business exchanging any money sirs. I suggest you leave." Harry said trying to hide his scowl.
"Mr. Potter you don't understand." Dumbledore started.
"No apparently you don't under stand Dumbledore. The name is Potter-Aurumcustos and I will not be going back there now if you don't leave I will have to get you escorted from the premises." Harry said and Dumbledore looked around and saw Goblins all around them watching them menacingly.
"Fine then Mr. Potter-Aurumcustos it is imperative that you come to your Aunt's house." Dumbledore pleaded with Harry.
"Do you want me to go to Hogwarts." Harry asked and Dumbledore nodded his head. "Well then I suggest that you leave right now and never bother me about going to my aunt's house again or I will never leave this bank again. Now I have to get back to work good day sir." Harry said and Dumbledore sighed before leaving the bank with Fudge and the Aurors behind him. After they left all of the goblins went back to what they were doing including Harry who picked up his emerald and started examining it again. After that incident Harry basically just sat there. Even when they got busy no one was going to him. He looked at all of the exchange clerks and saw that they all had long lines with a group of parents and teachers all with a guide.
"What the bloody hell is going on." Harry asked the goblin next to him motioning to the long lines and he shrugged. "I can help whoever's next." Harry said and some of the parents went to move over but were stopped by their guides who whispered into there ears making the parents eye's go wide and step away from his desk even more.
"Hermione get back here." Harry heard and looked up to see a woman grab the girl he saw the day before by the arm and try to pull her back to the line.
"But mum this desk is open and no one is at it." the girl, Hermione, said and who Harry thought was her dad shrugged and left the line to enter Harry's.
"Robert I don't think that's a good idea." Said the woman trying to stay quiet but Harry had good ears.
"Why not Rachel?" Robert asked the woman, Rachel.
"You saw what he did yesterday." Rachel said making Harry sigh.
"It doesn't matter I just want to exchange money I don't think he'll cut my arms off." Robert said and Harry had to keep himself from laughing as they approached his desk.
"How may I help you today." Harry asked as they stopped in front of his desk and before either of the parents could speak Hermione spoke up.
"Why did you cut that goblins arm's off yesterday." She asked and Harry raised an eyebrow.
"Hermione you can't ask some one your don't know something like that." Rachel said making Hermione sigh.
"I'm Hermione Granger these are my parents, Robert and Rachel Granger." Hermione said sticking out her hand and before either of the parents could pull her arm back Harry grabbed it and shook it.
"Harry Potter-Aurumcustos." He said "and I cut the bastards arms off because he continually disrespected me and my family because of my presence. I challenged him to a duel for the right to be truly adopted by blood and name it was to the death and I could have easily killed him. So how may I help you today." He asked again.
"We need to exchange some pounds to galleons please." Robert said and handed Harry a large stack of twenty pounds that Harry quickly counted out and found it was 1200 pounds sterling and placed it into the box on the right and 186 galleons came out on the other side.
"186 galleons at six to one, pound to galleon ratio with commission for the bank." Harry said handed the sacked galleons to the Granger's who thanked him and started to leave the bank. Harry looked around and saw a few people start to walk over to him and smiled. After the rush was over Ayke came over to Harry with a grin on his face.
"Good job today Mr. Potter-Aurumcustos." He said holding out his hand.
"Just Harry will do." Harry replied with his own smile and shook the goblins hand.
"Well Harry that was our rush you can get out of here now." Ayke said and handed him a pouch of galleons and Harry nodded. "See ya tomorrow." He said and went back to his desk as Harry stood up and after debating with himself left the bank. He took no more than three steps out of the bank when immediately he was hit by an owl with a letter attached to it. He took the letter off and saw the Hogwarts crest on it making him groan but he opened the letter anyway and read it with a sigh.
'This is to get him to leave me alone. This is for the best in the long run.' Harry thought to himself as he looked around the bustling shopping area before looking at the bank he just left and with another sigh he made his way back inside and went to his fathers office. When he got there he knocked and waited until he heard his father say enter.
"Ahh hello Harry. How was the first day?" He asked with a smile that Harry tried to return.
"It was okay." He said as he sat down in front of his fathers desk.
"Harry is every thing okay." Rangnok asked and Harry looked up and shook his head.
"Dumbledore and Fudge came and talked to me. They tried to get me to go back to my relatives house." Harry said and Rangnok growled.
"And what happened when they said that."
"Well I told him I wasn't going back and he was persistent about it." Harry said not looking at his father.
"And."
"Well I kinda had ta do something to get him to leave me alone about my relatives for the rest of my adolescences until I'm an adult." Harry said wincing slightly at the thought of how his father may react.
"And what did you have to?" He asked giving Harry a scrutinizing gaze.
"Well I kinda told him I would go to Hogwarts if he would leave me alone about going back to my aunts and if he brought it up again that I would never leave the bank again." Harry said and Rangnok sighed.
"Harry you didn't have to do that. We could have found another way to get him to leave you alone." He said with a feral grin on his face. "I'm sure we could have found something."
"Well I'm an adult I took it in my own hands and am not going to burden my family with something as insignificant as this matter." Harry said making Rangnok sigh again.
"Harry we are a family that's what we are for." He said getting up and walking around the desk to hug his son. "But if you are sure in this matter than so be it. But you will be telling your mother." He said and Harry paled.

Six weeks later Harry was packing his trunk getting ready to go to Kings Cross. Those six weeks were spent working every day but his birthday. The first week he was a an exchange clerk but after that he took people to there vaults. The only memorable trip was when he took Rubeus Hagrid down to vault 711 to get the Sorcerers Stone after Hagrid asked for him personally. But he stopped dwelling on the last six weeks when he finished packing and he grabbed his clothes and took a shower. When he was done he pulled on his black pants and black button up shirt. Then after he slipped on his shoes and making sure all of his weapons were in his trunk he made his way down stairs and saw Rocket the bald eagle his parents got him for his birthday. She was six years old from Alaska. She was four feet long with an eight and a third foot wingspan. She had a dark brown almost black body with white tail feathers and head. As soon as he walked down the stairs she flew off of her perch and flew over to Harry's outstretched arm and from there she moved herself to Harry's shoulder making him chuckle as everyone else came down from upstairs.
"Hey guys you hungry." Harry asked as he walked Rocket to the window and opened it. "Meet me at Hogwarts please Rocket." He said and she gently nipped his hair that he cut to shoulder length.
"Yeah." Ramiz said making the others laugh as he was always hungry. Harry shook his head with a smile on his face as he went to the kitchen with his mother and started making breakfast. After everyone ate Harry looked at the clock and saw it was nine and his brothers and father hugged him and told him that they would miss him as they went to leave for work. After helping his mother clean up Harry pulled out a book and started reading it in the living room. He read a few chapters before his mother came into the room.
"Harry dear it's time to go." She said and he looked up at the clock to see it was ten thirty and marked his page as he stood up with a sigh then he shrunk his trunk and book and put them in his pocket.
"Ok I'm ready." He said and they left the house and went to the same spot they did years earlier to go shopping for clothes but this time they took the portkey straight to platform 9 ¾. When they landed Harry looked around the crowded platform. "This is going to suck." Harry said as he and his mother made there way to the train the people on the platform all staring at them as they went. When they reached the train Harry gave his mum a hug and kiss on the cheek. "I'll see ya at Christmas." He said before boarding the train and going all the way to the back of it to the last compartment and finding it empty he opened the door and went in closing it behind him with a wave of his hand. He sat down with his legs on the bench and his back against the wall next to the window. After he was comfortable he pulled out is book and enlarged it and opened it to his page and started reading it again. After a while he heard a whistle blow and looked up to see that they were starting to move. He watched the scenery for a few minutes before going back to his book. He didn't even read two sentences before the door was opened and he looked up to see a blonde haired boy who two bigger boys standing behind him like body guards. After looking at him for a few seconds Harry recognized him as a Malfoy.
"Can I help you?" He asked and the blonde nodded.
"I'm Draco Malfoy and we wanted to sit here the rest of the cars are full with Mudbloods." Draco said and Harry growled quietly.
"I don't like that word and I'll forgive you this time. Go ahead and take a seat." Harry said and Malfoy sat down as the two big boys put there trunks in the over head compartment.
"This is Crabbe and Goyle." He said as they sat down on either side of him.
"Harry Potter-Aurumcustos." Harry said sticking out his hand and a slightly wide eyed Draco shook it.
"You live with the goblins." He said and Harry nodded.
"Yeah my adoptive parent's are the chief of the clan and his wife." Harry said with a small smirk before going back to his book when once again the compartment door was pulled open and he let out a sigh as he looked up and saw a tall gangly red head standing in the door way staring at him.
"Are you Harry Potter." He asked with wide eyes.
"Potter-Aurumcustos." Harry said raising an eyebrow.
"I'm Ron Weasley I just came to tell you that you shouldn't sit with the likes of them. There sure to be Slytherin's and that's the worst house ever you'll be in Gryffindor for sure being the boy who lived and all." He said and Malfoy and the two burly boys stood up.
"It's obvious you're a..." what ever he was going to say next was stopped by Harry as he stood up and simply pushed the red head out of the compartment and locked it before sitting down again and opening his book as Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle all sat down. "Why'd you push him out?" he asked and Harry looked up.
"He was annoying me with the stereotypes. You can't ever judge a book by its cover." Harry said before going back to his book.
