A.N Here is another chapter. Although dedicated to all my readers, I would like to make a huge thank you to Amandarine who always reviews and makes me laugh. Keep trying to figure out how Lily's godfather is dead. And also to Ginny Lover -1 who gave me a new outlook on my dramas and is becoming a really great friend.

THIS IS FOR YOU!!!

Helena Inheritor

Lily was in shock. After experiencing her first time apperating as Mr. Lupin put it, she came face to face with a magical shopping centre.

Remus seeing the girl beside him with her mouth open in shock, he chuckled. The last time he saw a look like that was when one of his best mates discovered Honeydukes.
"You'll catch flies with your mount open like that" he quoted

Lily turned slowly, her eyes lingering on all the people who bustled before her. Shop upon shop sat in front of her almost yelling at her to open the door and come on in. And in a way she was scared if she looked away it would be gone once she had another glance.
Remus could see the excitement in the eyes of this girl. He too had been like that on his first visit.

"This is Diagon Alley" Remus explained "It's the main shopping place for Britain wizards"
Lily just nodded she could swear she just saw a man land in front of her on a broom.
A rumble behind the both of them startled Lily as they turned around. Lily could have fainted right there and then for she was watching the solid brick wall fold upon itself and an opening began to appear.

"We better move or we will be trampled"
Lily knowing she better following instructions allowed Mr. Lupin to lead her away. But just out of curiosity she sneaked a glance towards the doorway which appeared seconds ago. Since the crowd was quite crazy she doubted she would see who it was. As she laid her eyes on the arc she let out a gasp of surprise. A man who could possible be a giant stood there moving his mouth, obviously talking to someone. His messy black hair appeared to have never been brushed in years and his beard hid his mouth when not in movement. She couldn't see his eyes but she knew he would have had to have some.

"Lily" her voice rang from behind her "Are you coming?"
Lily almost forgot where she was, it was just that tall man intrigued her.
"Oh yes" she replied "Sorry Mr. Lupin"
The man in front of her chuckled.
"Please call me Moony or if anything Remus"
Lily tilted her head just slightly as if in imitation of a dog.
"Moony?"
"Ah yes, well it's a nickname my friends gave me at school"
"Why Moony?"
"Well that would be something you would need to ask them"
Lily just nodded.

They continued for a moment before they came to a halt in front of a very tall, white building.
"So what are we getting first?"
"Well we need to get you some money"
"But I have money" Lily answered as she held up her wallet.
Remus smiled sincerely. "You won't be able to get much with that"
Seeing Lily's confusion he continued "Us magical people have our own form of currency"
Lily seemed to get the jist of what he meant. They had their own money.
"But I don't have any of that"
"Well most likely you will have to withdraw money from the Hogwarts support vault at Gringotts"
"Gringotts?"
"Yes the wizard bank" and with that he pointed behind himself.
Now Lily had a good look at the building they were standing in front off.
It was such a massive building. It appeared to be made from almost pure white marble and the large gold words that spelt 'GRINGOTTS' right above her head.

"Come on" Smiled Remus "At this rate we won't get you anything before the day ends"

Lily half rolled her eyes as she smiled widely. She was really beginning to like this man.

They approached the bronze doors as they slowly climbed the white stairs. Remus took no notice to the small man dressed in gold and red.

That man could not have been a man at all. IT wasn't the small height that gave it away, but it was the pointed ears, crook nose and the muttering of a weird language that made Lily look towards Remus for answers.

"Goblins" he stated simply. "Not the friendliest magical beings out there, but they tend to the gold well. Just don't double cross them or well lets just say it might hurt"

Lily's eyes widened in horror. When she thought magical world she thought magical dragons and pretty unicorns not gruesome beasts.

He held the door open for her as she stepped into the magical bank.

The tiled floor echoed under both their feet and the chandelier seemed to make it darker in the room than if there was no light at all. Yet there seemed to be a gloom that hung in the air, an eerie gloom that sent chills down Lily's spine.

"Let's keep on moving alright?"

Lily swallowed hard and just nodded at Lupin's questions. This was all too much to soak in.

As they approached the desk Lily had to hold back a cringe. In no insult what so ever but these creatures were not at all handsome, and those filled like teeth gave Lily chills more than the whole entire front room of the back.

"We would like to make a withdrawal" Remus spoke as he looked at the Goblin

In a rude sort of way the goblin groaned as he lowered his quill and held down the papers with what Lily could have sworn was a ruby about twice the size as her wrist.

"You girl, what's your fault number?" the goblin glared at her

Lily eyes grew once again and looked in every direction on everything except the looming goblin in front of her. Even though she knew he was small, the stool he sat on and the bench he was located behind felt intimidating.

"I Don't Know Sir" Lily said biting her lip. If anything the goblin seemed to be enjoying himself as he watched Lily squirmed underneath his gaze.

"Ah I do believe we are withdrawing from the Hogwarts student fund" Remus butted in.

The goblin's head snapped in the direction of Remus, he didn't seem happy one bit.

"What is your vault number girl? Are you not the daughter of Delilah Samuels?" The goblin asked.

Remus looked at the goblin then at Lily. It's not possible he thought.

To his complete shock he watched Lily nod her head in confirmation.

Could it be possible that Dumbledore knew that and was doing something twisted to him? Why would he send him to escort the daughter of the girl that broke his heart?

"THEN WHATS YOU BIRTHDAY GIRL?!" This goblin was clearly getting annoyed and angered which meant he had very little patience at all.

Lily clearly looked uncomfortable with the way this goblin was speaking.

She began to open her mouth but her words died out as she mumbled.

"I didn't catch that" the goblin snatched

Lily looked sideways at Remus before continuing "March 10"

Remus was in even more shock. That was his birthday HIS! This just made things worse, much worse. Couldn't he have anything free from Delilah!

The goblin nodded, finally smiling, in well in an evil way.

He shuffled from behind the bench and a faint jingling rattling sound echoed lightly against the walls.

He then handed over a most intricate key Lily had ever laid eyes on.

This laces of gold wrapped around the neck of the key while small gems encrusted the tip. It seemed really old

Remus held out his hand and was handed the key. He held it up to the little light that was around. His eyes squinted at the ancient key he held in front of him.

"This looks like one of the first Keys made from Gringotts" he stated.

Lily looked at Remus like he had grown a second head. What was so special about this little piece of metal? It was just a key.

The goblin nodded and his chest swelled with pride.

"Yes indeed it is" Cackled the Goblin with a smirk "It was handed down the Samuels Line since they inherited from Helena herself"

Remus choked in surprise as Lily let this flow right over her head. IF they knew what they were talking about that was fine with her. She was confused enough at it is.

After a few moments silence where Lily could swear that goblin looked ready to snatch the key back, another goblin was called over to escort both Lily and Remus to the Samuels vault.

---------------------------------------------

The ride to vault number 1003 was one Lily never wished she experienced. After they walked through the doors they were greeted by hallways on dirt indicating they were miles underground and the torches flamed upon the walls. They took small carts that went on speed all the way deep down. Remus was green the moment the cart started all the way until the end. And since it had only one speed Lily could not take in any of her surroundings. Possibly a security measure Lily concluded.

When they had come to a stop Remus stumbled out of the cart and rested against the wall. "I have never had to come down this low before" he heaved "Even to my vault makes me sick"

Lily sympathized as she had already thought that Remus looked on the sick side before they began the ride.

The goblin which Lily didn't catch his name shuffled off the cart and walked towards the fault door.

"Miss Samuels could you please approach the door" he squeaked

Lily had found out by meeting this goblin that not all of them were as intimidating as the one sitting at the bench. This one was quite nice. He talked to them about Gringotts and when it had began. He even cracked a joke which seemed to shock Remus.

Cautious Lily walked towards the door and looked at it. What was she supposed to do now? She looked down at the goblin waiting for instructions.

"Please place your hand on the doors indention and turn the key within the lock" he instructed as Remus handed over the key.

Lily looked at the goblin as if he was crazy. What was it going to do?

Remus nodded to let her know it was okay and she continued with what she was told.

The moment her hand was placed within the indentation a cool sensation ran down her hand. As if she just place her fingers under a freezing cold faucet. She turned the key when she was told to and the door sprang open.

Without any prompting the goblin opened his mouth and began to speak.

"These are a few of the most ancient vaults we have left. No goblin can open only those of the blood the vault belongs to. Even the Lestranges don't have a vault with this security"

Remus seemed interested. But Lily was not worried about security. No one else could open it. That was good enough for her.

Yet the goblin continued. "If you wish Miss Samuels we can have a dragon put outside for extra guard to ensure maximum security"

Lily's head snapped at this. "DRAGONS exist?"

"Most certainly Miss Samuels, do you wish to acquire one?"

Lily eyebrows joint together as the traveled closer to her eyes. "NO!" she bellowed and her voice echoed for a while. Making other goblins turn her head. "I WON"T HAVE ANY ANIMAL IN CHAINS UNDERGROUND"

The goblin bowed slightly "AS you wish"

-----------------------------

Walking into her fault Lily had to step back in shock. There in front of both her and Remus were piles upon piles of weird looking coins.

"We'll grab what you need for the year and I will explain all about it all when we get back outside"

Lily nodded and allowed Remus to help her fill the money bag in which the bank had provided for her.

-------------------------------

The ride seemed worse if anything but Lily heard Remus sigh of relief after they set foot back in the grand hall of the bank.

After Lily was informed to keep her key safe they were allowed to leave for the streets outside. Upon walking towards the exited Lily caught sight of that tall man standing near the goblin behind the stand. He seemed to be emptying out his pockets as the boy with messy black hair looked around in awe.

Lily could swear that it was Harry standing right there but they had already begun to walk towards the carts before she could approach him to find out.

-------------------------------

Even once they were outside they weren't any better. People who laid eyes on Remus had now begun to give him dirty looks as they passed.

"Why are they glaring at you?" she asked him

"It's nothing really just a miss understanding I am sure" he replied hastily

Lily knew there was something behind it but it seemed best not to push any further.

Remus began walking before Lily could react and was already down the flight of stairs. Lily needed to catch up as she need not get lost. SO as fast as she could she ran down the stairs. Unfortunately someone stepped in her way and they bumped shoulders.

"Sorry" apologized Lily as she faced the person she had bumped into.

The man whose face was hidden by the black cloak he wore hissed before continuing up the stairs and behind the doors of the bank.

There was something about that man that Lily didn't like, didn't like at all. There was something dark that had hung around the man and with him heading into the bank things could only get worse.
