Beta: none, anyone interested?

a/n I've got no excuse on the long wait but for the fact that school was a pain in the lower regions and I completely forgot to upload this.

August 1st

Diagon alley, Gringotts bank

Around 12 pm.

"I think it's time for a break." Liz said while standing up and stretching.

"I agree, if you would just sign these two forms for me before lunch."

"What are they for?"

"They're the activation of your wallet and money bag. As soon as you've signed your monograms will appear on a corner and they'll change to your specified colour."

Liz grabbed the quill with a tired sigh and quickly filled in the paperwork before grabbing the two items and securing them, the wallet in her jean pocket and the money bag to a belt loop.

She turned around and looked at the parchment there was almost no gold or orange but the other colours were dominant especially the red. The single number on the bottom right of the parchment especially made her sick. It was the damage number and it was all ready over the 500 million galleons point.

She left the office while shaking her head and headed out for the leaky cauldron for lunch.

She quickly ate before flooing over to the burrow.

She literally fell from the crate only to land in a coughing heap.

Instantly Mrs. Weasley was at her side patting her on her back and helping her sit up.

"Now I know why bro was complaining at the need to either floo or apparate." She said with a laugh.

"What brings you here so early dear?" mrs. Weasley asked.

"Well I do believe I owe your family money." She said while straightening.

Then with a flick of mrs. Weasleys wand she was soot free.

The two walked into the kitchen were all of the family was assembled.

Liz spotted an empty space in front of where mr. Weasley was sitting and got her money bag out before asking for the money then she squarly dumped the 2000 galleons in front of the patriarch.

"I think that should cover the damage." She said dryly noticing how most of the children were staring at the pile as if they'd never seen so much money in one spot in their life.

"The damage is only 270 galleons." Mr. Weasley managed to choke out.

"I know, it's not all for the damage. Your family has been extremely good for my brother. I found this a very suitable thank you."

"Your brother?" the one that had been introduced as Percy asked.

"Yes Percy, my brother though you don't actually count as having been nice to him. Your family deserves my utmost gratitude; you however have only managed to deserve my contempt." She stated.

"He also expressed something of a wish to me." She said before turning to Mrs. Weasley. "Would you be so kind as to make one of your shepherd's pies for him?"

She could see the recognizion in the eyes of the elder Weasleys.

Mrs. Weasley stepped forward and cautiously asked "Elizabeth?" while holding her hand at toddler height.

Liz simply grinned before using her hair changing trick to change her body to how it looked at three, then with a small spin she was back at seventeen.

Instantly she was crushed in a smothering hug by the woman.

She relaxed and sighed "Auntie."

"Child I haven't seen you since before your family went into hiding."

"And now we are again, in plain sight this time."

"I thought you were dead!" Arthur blurted out.

Liz laughed heartily, "yeah that's what Dumbledore told the world while he in reality placed me in an orphanage, he even went so far as to bribe the owner into changing my name. He did until I was old enough to understand."

"But then whose body was it that was found?" Charlie asked remembering hearing about it.

"Some poor muggle girl, I suppose." Liz said with a shrug.

Then she looked at the clock and said "well I have to get back to Gringotts, honestly Dumbledore may be the greatest wizard of this age but he has no sympathy what so ever."

"How can you say that! Dumbledore…" Hermione began.

"Denied so many maintenance requests and other things that I have a damage cost of over 500 million galleons and we aren't halfway done yet." Liz almost snarled.

Then she stalked over to the fireplace before throwing over her shoulder, "and don't tell him any of this including where I live or who I am!" then in a flash she was gone.

She and Griphook spent the rest of the afternoon sorting through the paperwork and at the end of it Dumbledore owed her over a billion on damages he could have prevented.

Most of that money was either caused by new building requests he denied, which caused major damage when something collapsed and refusing to have expert healers and/or vets flown in when they were needed.

Every single reasonable denied had been changed into a granted and appointments had been made for Liz to go see the damage with her own eyes and record it with either a movie or a quick quotes quill and pictures.
