Well actually the more he looked at Molly the more he could see how terrified she was. He didn't need Goblin methods or indeed Veritas serum to tell him she was genuinely afraid of the whole situation. It was obvious from a peak into her mind that the rat did not look as it usually did as all of it's toes were present confusing him as that was not the animagus present. He had no idea why it should have looked like that but the animagus here was Errol their owl if that was even his real name. "Ma'am I must ask you where you got your owl?" he asked as she looked at him in awe.
"Well Errol was a gift from Albus Dumbledore as a wedding present many moons ago. He also gave us some fine china. Is Errol sick?" she asked as he scoffed at her.
"Indeed not. However this is most certainly not Errol. Have you ever noticed he's much larger then any other owl would be even an eagle owl?" he asked as she once again looked confused. I mean why wasn't he asking about the rat with his sudden toes back on? Hang on did he just say this was not Errol!? Dear lord who was it?
"Well yes I noticed but I assumed he'd acquired a large foreign breed we'd not encountered here in Britain as he was always travelling all over the place at the time. We were if I'm honest in need of an owl urgently so we did not question it we merely thanked him for his generous gift" she replied as he looked at her once more.
"An owl is as you may have guessed never this size nor is it supposed to be however the true thing shocking me is that neither is an animagus of an owl so that leaves me with but one conclusion. I wish for you to prepare for the arrival of more then one person possibly three or so of them once the spell is reversed. It will take me a while to reverse it as the spells upon this bird are so strong that it is not supposed to be reversed easily or by accident. If Errol has ever underperformed this is why. Give me a moment please" he instructed as she waited to one side very confused indeed.
Who in the hell was it and why would someone imprison many people into the form of an animagus they quite obviously couldn't escape from. Did Dumbledore know this had happened? Where had he retrieved the owl from? Like her did he not think to check if it was cursed too? Errol had always been a mess delivering mail and so on so she should have noticed something was off with him. Why had she not seen it? Maybe for the same reason Albus hadn't. Her world was about to be further rocked in a moment. The goblin looked up as though ready and said the anti-aparation spell as the wards went up. As he then focused his attention on the bird he chanted as it started to hiss and moan and then nothing happened.
"It is just as I thought I must use the most force. Please prepare yourself for a loud banging sound!" he said as he focused all of his power on the task at hand. There was a huge explosion style sound as two people burst forth from the cocoon that had been Errol. As they straightened up and dusted themselves off they turned to face Molly and she screamed fainting out cold. She was revived as the two men looked at her before speaking.
"Thank god the wrong thing was done. I couldn't take another bloody minute cooped up as that damn bird! I mean seriously. Before anyone says anything Albus Dumbledore is the reason we were in the bird so to speak in the first place. He placed us there after he threatened to do some damage to us if we didn't stop killing death eaters. We were unable to comply as scum like that don't deserve to live and so he punished us by making us into this bird and leaving us with you. After many months we were presumed dead and had to watch you mourn us. He knew we weren't dead and even attended our funerals the sick bastard. Before you say anything bad I won't hear of it. He was an ass and damn well he knew it too!" he said as she asked for a pensive into which she placed the memory of what had just happened to her personally as both of the men watched the memory and emerged moments later feeling annoyed.
"This is outrageous and he will not get away with it of this I am certain. Please take whatever amount it was from my account and transfer it back to the Potter account right now. Then take a third of my money and give it to Molly now. No longer will the Weasley's suffer and if I have anything to say about things that smile will be wiped off Lucius Malfoy's face soon as well. Oh Molly you have no idea how much I wanted to comfort you when you felt most sad" he said crying as she looked at him before charging at him in floods of tears and embracing him in a huge hug before moving on to his brother.
"Oh Gideon, Fabian. You have no idea how much this means to me. I cannot believe he did this to you however before today I never would have believed him capable of line theft either. I am so sorry I didn't ask enough questions about your death however we all searched high and low for you and when we couldn't find you, you were presumed dead. I am so sorry my dear brothers. I love you so much!" she said as the flood gates opened and they both embraced her in a huge hug. Arthur was called into the bank and when he saw them he was overjoyed too.
"Can I just say from the both of us how sorry we are that Errol was such a shitty owl! Please can we buy you a new owl?" asked Fabian as they both agreed he could. Being satisfied with keeping the bird fluffy or whatever she'd called it he allowed them all to go home. Harry wouldn't believe this one when he heard it. What a shock awaited him that's for sure.
