With Bill's statement the room went into chaos. Sirius was pacing back and forth cursing under his breath, his curses getting more and more violent each time. Harry was simply confused, but could tell by the reactions of everyone around him that whatever a horcrux was, it was not something good. Griphook snarled and after screaming in Gobbledegook (Harry could only assume curses) turned to the other goblins. "Shut down the bank, lock the front doors and get Ragnuk in here!" He turned back to Bill, "Mr. Weasley are you sure? If you are lying to me I will have your head."
Bill looked grim but confident, "I've seen them in the old tombs in Egypt. Though I've never seen one concealed inside a living being."
An alarm started blaring throughout the bank followed by clanks and thuds. The front doors were being closed and sealed. When the alarm ended, it was eerily quiet to Harry, he watched as the remaining goblins in the room moved to stand against the wall. They had their spears at their side as if they were in military standing at attention.
A moment later a goblin walked in in a smart suit with a scar across his face. Harry could immediately tell he was a warrior, and not someone to mess with. He looked like the goblin version of Mad-Eye Moody, thankfully though, he still had both eyes. Ragnuk crossed to the middle of the room before looking around at the goblins and 3 wizards. "What business do you have that put us in an emergency closure!? This better be good or the gold I have lost today will be taken out of each of your vaults personally!"
Griphook bowed to the older Goblin. "Master Ragnuk, we have reason to believe there is a horcrux inside Mr. Potter's head. Earlier today we detected him using dark magic in this room, we reentered to find him unconscious and having a fit. Curse Breaker Weasley detected it sir. We have reason to believe it is Voldemort's."
Ragnuk gasped, "This can not be true!" He looked around to see Bill Weasley nodding at him. He then turned to see Harry Potter still looking completely bewildered. "Mr. Potter, I'm sorry but until a course of action is decided you will not leave this room. It is unsafe for you, as well as everyone around you. I am going to speak with the Council and bring back some healers, I will return in an hours time." Ragnuk took one last look at Harry, stared at the scar for a moment before leaving the room.
Harry turned to Sirius and Bill before stating to the room out loud, "Will someone PLEASE tell me what's going on."
Sirius took a deep sigh and explained.
"Harry, a Horcrux is a container for one's soul. From what I can gather, when Voldemort tried to kill you he ended up splitting a piece of his soul into you. That's why you can see visions of what he's doing, or why your scar hurts when he's around."
"Is that why I can talk to snakes? Dumbledore once said that the night my parents died Tom transferred some of his powers to me."
"HE KNEW! THAT SON OF A !" screamed Bill Weasley, fuming as he then started pacing the room. "Harry a horcrux is more than just splitting one soul's, it can only be done by the murder of another human. It also, makes that person immortal, they can not die while part of their soul remains."
Harry nodded while in deep thought. "He's tried coming back before, first year he tried getting the sorcerer's stone, and my 2nd year he was a ghost in a diary."
"A ghost in a diary? No Harry, you're either a ghost or you aren't." Bill stated.
"Well, it seemed like a ghost, except he could hold my wand."
Griphook and Bill Weasley shared a look, something fishy had happened Harry's 2nd year and they needed to know more. Griphook then asked Harry, "Mr. Potter, if we were to acquire a pensieve, could you show us these memories?"
Harry nodded, "I don't know how to do it but if someone can show me how, sure."
Sirius chimed in for the first time in a long time. "Griphook in the Black vaults you will find a pensieve you can use. Since I am not being thrown to the ministry I'm sure I have access to my vaults then too?" After the goblin's agreement he continued, "Harry when they return with the pensieve I will show you how to extract your memories. I know you have lots of questions but we will discuss it more later."

After the Goblins brought back the Black pensieve and Ragnuk returned, Sirius, Bill, Harry, Griphook, and Ragnuk viewed the battle that occurred in the Chamber of Secrets. Bill had tears in his eyes as he looked down on his sister, the only thing holding him together was knowing she was alive and at school currently.
When it was over the adults and goblins looked quite nauseated by the memory. Harry had almost died trying to beat Voldemort and a 60 foot basilisk. Sirius was grim thinking about what his godson had been through in his few short years in the wizarding world. He understood more now why he wanted to leave.
Ragnuk after a quiet meeting with Griphook turned back to the wizards. "Mr. Potter, a few things to discuss. Basilisk parts are very rare and very valuable, since you are the conqueror the body belongs to you. With your permission, we could harvest the parts and sell them. We would like to keep a portion of it for ourselves but majority of the items: venom, skin, fangs et cetera would go to you.
Secondly, after seeing that memory we can only conclude that there are more than one, how many though is still unknown. There is a ritual to destroy a horcrux, it's not too hard but it will be painful. The problem is we would need the horcrux to find the others, so we can't destroy the one in you Mr. Potter immediately. Although the ritual for that is difficult and near impossible, there are certain requirements that need to be fulfilled."
"Like what?" Asked Harry.
"A free house elf." said Bill answering for the head goblin. "Elf magic works differently than wizarding, they can follow paths of magic differently. There would be a connection between the souls and they would be able to follow the magic and apparate to the different locations.
Sirius started cursing again. "A free house elf? They've been enslaved for centuries! Even if I freed Kreature he would never help! That's ridiculous! We'll just have to find them ourselves."
Harry smirked, happy to be able to contribute. "Or we can just ask Dobby" Harry said to a surprised room.
As Harry said the little elf's name a pop was heard in the room. "Harry Potter calls on Dobby sir?"
