"Before we start, can I request for someone to be here?" Draco said addressing Ragnarok.
"If it's for the reason I am thinking of, then yes, but only if you get Mr. Potter's permission. This does heavily affect him." Ragnarok said.
"What heavily affects me?" Harry says starting to get rather annoyed.
"He should say yes. May I request that an owl be sent to him immediately?"
"WHAT will I likely say yes to? Send an owl TO WHOM?" Harry said extremely irritated now. I'm RIGHT HERE YOU KNOW!"
"Harry, just wait for him to get here. Everything will be explained then." Draco said trying to calm him.
"Fine, I'll wait. But who are we waiting for?" Harry says calming down, not able to deny Draco anything.
"We are waiting for the Dark Lord. It is perfectly safe for him to come here since Gringotts is technically its own nation run by the goblins. Wizarding Laws and rules don't apply here." Draco said readily giving the information in a compromise.
"He shall be here in a few minutes." Ragnarok said getting a reply owl to his missive.
He would never admit it but Tom was worried. A few minutes ago, he had gotten a missive from Draco at Gringotts requesting his presence. He knew that Dumbledore and his band of do-gooders would be there and he hoped nothing had happened to Harry. The little brat had grown on him.
Quickly he responded to the letter and got dressed, trying to dismiss his worries. Nagini was with Harry and would protect him from any harm.
He got to the floo as fast as possible without running like a maniac and simultaneously yelled out Gringotts and put on a complex glamour as he stepped into the floo. The complex glamour was so that in some odd chance, Dumbledore saw him, he wouldn't be recognized.
As he stepped out, he breathed a sigh of relief that he had his glamour on. Of course it was his luck that as he stepped out of the Gringotts floo, Dumbledore and the Order of the Fire Chicken loitered around the atrium.
Gritting his teeth, he ignored them and walked to the nearest counter.
"Can you please direct me to the office that Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are in? I was summoned." Tom said handing over the letter he had gotten.
"Excuse me my dear boy-" Tom gritted his teeth and refrained from putting his hand near his wand. "But did you just say you were summoned by Harry Potter?" Man did he hate that man.
"Yes," he said, his hand twitching towards his wand. "Like I told the goblin. I was summoned to the room that Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy are in."
"That ferret! Why is he still with the Boy-Who-Lived?" That was the youngest Weasley boy.
"Let me see, hand-me down clothing, red hair, and a loud mouth. You must be a Weasley." Tom sneered unknowingly almost repeating exactly what Draco had said back in first year. Weasley flushed red.
"Why would Harry summon you? Who are you?" Dumbledore said not to be deterred.
Before he had to answer, the goblin came back.
"They will see you now."
He left as soon as the goblin finished speaking.
Dumbledore watched the mysterious man disappear down the hallway and frowned. He needed to know who the man was so that he could find that man again. If he could find that man again, he could convince the man to tell him exactly what went on during the meeting. If Dumbledore could figure out how much Harry knew then when he did damage control, it would be a lot easier.
There were quite a few things that Harry had no reason to learn about. Like the fact that he was really adopted.
The dark family he had stolen him from didn't deserve the child. The dark deserved no powerful children. In his mind, he had done the child a favour. As a child of the dark, Dumbledore could have killed him and probably would have killed him if he hadn't felt that power. The way the child glared at him at such a young age and the power that raised itself around the child made Dumbledore stop his casting of the Avada Kedavra and decided to take the child instead. Of course, he couldn't have the mother going off and complaining or crying, so he had killed her as well as any other living thing in the house as well.
He couldn't have a child with that much power not under his power, so he had given them to a disposable couple and leaked a fake prophecy. He hadn't really cared whether or not the child lived or died. If it survived then Dumbledore would have another person to manipulate, but if he died then it would be another death to blame on Tom.
Sighing, he sent the Order home and decided to wait for Harry to get out so that he could talk to him.
"Mr. Potter, There is a person in the atrium saying that he was summoned to be here." A new goblin voice said from his right where he knew the door to be.
"It should be the Dark Lord." Draco whispered from where he sat next to Harry's left side.
"Let him in please." Harry said not bothering to move his head towards the goblin.
"Yes sir." The goblin said as the door creaked close behind him.
A few minutes later, the sound of hurried footsteps made it to Harry's ears a few seconds before the door banged open. Draco jumped a little from surprise at the sudden noise but Harry stayed where he was already knowing that Tom had been coming a few seconds before he burst through the door.
"What was so important that you had to owl me to come here instead of telling me about it later?" Tom asked a little winded from how fast he tried to get away from Dumbledore. "Did no one think it would be prudent for me to know that there was a huge chance that Dumbledore would still be here?" he said with a glare that completely bypassed Harry.
"I would wish to know as well." Harry said with a shrug. "I took an inheritance test and Draco said I couldn't hear what it said until we had summoned you."
"Well Mr. Malfoy. I'm here now so could you please explain why?"
Draco took a deep breath, not used to an irritated Dark Lord.
"Tom's all bark and no bite." Harry says in a stage whisper, trying to relieve Draco's tension. "Nagini says he's grumpy without his tea which he should've been having right about now."
Draco could see Tom's eye twitch but couldn't resist a giggle. "Right." He says trying to get back on topic. "Well let me just read you the inheritance out loud and then the questions can be asked;

"Fuck." Harry said with wide eyes staring a little past Draco.
"I didn't know I was adopted." He said a little sadly. "Just another thing Dumbledore kept from me."
"A-a-a-aidan?" Tom says shocked. "I thought you were dead. Dumbledore and his group of idiots charged down the house where you were staying and started firing curses. I was off on a raid when they got through. Your mother and the Death Eaters assigned to protect you didn't stand a chance. By the time I got there, it was gruesome. There were no survivors and blood was everywhere. I looked for you in the rubble and mess, but I couldn't find you. I finally found Mariela's ashes and next to them was some of your blood and the protective necklace that I had given you when you were first born. No one should have been able to take it off but me or Mariela. I was devastated when I thought I had lost you. I lost control of my magic and demolished the whole house. I'm so glad you're alive!" Tom said with tears in his voice. "May I hug you? Please?"
Harry couldn't stand the sadness he heard in Tom's voice, so he got up and slowly moved towards where he had heard Tom's voice. He soon reached Tom and bent down to give him a hug. Harry yelped as Tom yanked him down to sit on his lap as Tom wept into Harry's shoulder muttering "My son is alive. He's alive." Over and over again.
Once Tom had calmed down, Draco cleared his throat. "I still need to tell you two the results of the magical test. But before you do, the goblin and I agree that my lord, you and Harry should take a calming draught before we start. Believe me when I say you'll need it."
After grumbling about taking one, both agreed and gulped one down.
"Now, The magical Test says:….."
