I do not own Harry Potter.

Enjoy!

Albus Dumbledore made his way to the front of Gringotts.

This day had started off terribly, now he was hearing that the Goblins were holding his vault and all those associated with him, hostage.

He walked in, hoping to work his magic in the bank, he know the goblins weren't welcoming when it concerns money.

However, when he walked in, he was very surprised to find the almost empty bank packed.

At front of the line was none other than Lucious Malfoy.

How he know, this?

He could hear the man.

"HOW DARE YOU HOLD ME AND MY FAMILY VAULTS HOSTAGE!" The man roared.

The goblin who was unfortunate enough to be dealing with him said very calmly. "There has been irregulars in your vault for years, Mr Malfoy. Thankfully, we now have the power to really look into them. However, due to how deep this is, we have no choice but to close your Vault's including the Vault you set up to help all those Pureblood's who became poor in the last war."

Lucious Malfoy was fuming.

What was happening!?

He was also quite worried about this 'investigation', for years he had paid the Goblins to look the other way when it came to some of the sources of his income.

The truth was, the Malfoy's Vaults should have dried up years ago. The only reason why they could still live so lavishly to this day was because of stealing or bribing people.

"Now see here" Mrs Malfoy said, "On who's authority, do you have to freeze our Vaults!? We are planning a very important shopping trip this weekend and we can't do that if we can't get into our vaults."

"Please calm down, Mrs Malfoy. I'm sure, you have more than enough money stored away in your giant Manor to carry out that shopping trip." Said, the Goblin, enjoying how her face was going red. "Please leave. Your holding up the line. If you want our guards can escort you out, we can."

Just like a prisoner.

The Malfoys were understandably enraged and went for their wands, only to stupidly realize that they couldn't do magic in the building.

The Goblins slapped them with a hefty fine before they were thrown out of the bank and the wards kept them from going back in.

They were officially banned from entering the bank.

This was a disaster especially when Poverty was sweeping the British Wizarding society like a plague.

Albus Dumbledore was shocked when he saw what happened before his very eyes, it made him realize one thing.

The Goblins were out for blood.

Ch 11: The Order of the Phoenix's is illegal

"Is there a problem, Mr Bode?" Said, the goblin.

"Yes, there is a problem!" Said, the man who was with his child. "I would like to know why my account has been depleted!"

"It's simple, Mr Bode" Said, the Goblin, smiling a toothy grin. "We merely took away the funds that came from selling 'Harry James Potter's Books' without permission from the name holder or the Head of house. We will have no problems giving you back that money, if you can prove that you have permission and are willing to dispute it in court."

The man face turned red and so did everybody else who got by selling Harry James Potter own name.

Right now, they couldn't afford to go to court and have it exposed to the public that they didn't have permission to do such a thing.

Of course, they never asked the boy to publish his name, they were just following everybody else!

Who would have thought it would come back to bite them today!

"W-What about my son?" Said, the man, trying to use his own child. "I promised him that he would go to Hogwarts this year!"

Without that money, his son couldn't afford Hogwarts.

Of course, the man did not mention that he was planning to buy the very best school appliances on top of the pricy institution fee for his son with that money.

"Well, Mr Bode. It's not my problem" The goblin said, looking down at the man. "Or do you suggest that we charge, the good, hard working people who made it through the war and managed to get by honestly without cashing in on a child's name? If you can't afford Hogwarts then I heard that Muggle school's charge nothing for schooling."

And the man looked like he had just slapped, before he was escorted out.

And Albus had seen enough.

"NEXT!" The Goblin called out.

Albus pushed his way to the front of the line.

"That would be me" Albus said, many in the crowd were shocked when they saw him. He turned around and said. "DON'T WORRY EVERYBODY, I WILL SORT THIS OUT!"

The crowd cheered.

Albus Dumbledore had come to save their vaults!

Even Harry so called best friends and other family members, were present and frantic because they couldn't access their vaults.

Albus took a minute to basked in the glory before turning to the Goblin with all the charm in the world.

The Goblin remained unfazed.

"What seems to be the problem here?" Albus said, "I'm sure, we can settle this now so that we can all walk away happy"

But the Goblin did not even crack a ghost of a smile.

"Albus Dumbledore. We have also held your Vault as well, due to falsification of one 'Harry James Potter' guardianship" The goblin revealed.

Those who heard, where in an uproar.

Albus Dumbledore was never Harry Potter legal guardian!?

This was one for the papers!

However, Albus kept his cool and said. "There is no falsification to speak off. When Harry Parents died they wanted him to go to Lily's sister. I was placed in charge of Harry's magical needs." telling the lie that he had been preaching for years and nobody called him out on.

Now, somebody was calling him out on it.

"Mr Dumbledore. I highly doubt that this is true. We are currently looking into it and Harry James Potter and the Head of House are scheduled for an official Will reading soon, since neither of them were present in the first one." The Goblin said, he saw a flash of utter panic on the aged face but he had caught it way before Albus registered it and suppressed it. "However, this isn't the only reason why we locked your Vault. We have knowledge that you've made several redraws from the Potter trust vault before the person in question turned 11 years old. You were not legally allowed to do that nor did we see the money go to anything concerning the person in question. The head of house has also expressed his concerns about his nephew's well-being. As we speak, Harry James Potter is being at professionals that will document every time his body was forced to change."

The goblins and those who had seen Harry Potter on that day when he walked into the Bank, weren't blind.

They just thought he was small for his age but nobody could miss the giant old t-shirt he wore and the ripped trousers and shoes.

They thought it was part of the new Muggle fashion, until one man slapped them with harsh reality.

With that list it would expose every time, Albus had pointed a wand at the child without anybody being aware.

The share scandal that would erupt...

Albus was wishing that he had made sure to killed the man off as a baby.

This wouldn't be happening if the man never grow old enough to take the title of Head of House or had been raised abused and stupid.

"We are also looking into your claims that the person in question allowed you access to his trust vault. The Head of House has made it very clear that he doesn't want you touching the Potter's Family vaults, ever again." Said, the goblin, continuing to crucify the aged man in front of him.

Then the goblin got out a long list and said. "There is also the matter of your illegal group Vault. 'The Order of the Phonex's' was it?"

And at the mention of his group, some people puffed their chest with pride, after all, they had received nothing but praise from the general public for being a group picked out by Albus Dumbledore personally to fight against Voldemort and his death eaters.

"Yes...my group." Albus said, finally something he could control. "I think there is a misunderstanding. My group is not illegal, we banded together when Voldemort was on a rampage and everybody else was too afraid to stop him. And as you can see, it was money well spent. Voldemort is gone"

Those behind him cheered and he soaked up the praise.

However, the goblin wasn't going to dance to his tune.

"Mr Dumbledore. Your group was illegal" The goblin said, hammering the words in. "Nobody here was informed that you were using the Founders own vaults to fund your group. It would have been okay if it was for a new school activity but you were using this money to train your own students and staff members to be soldiers. You did not tell anybody that you were using money to fund your own personal war. For years the Ministry has come to this bank complaining, why there isn't enough money to train their Auror's. We called the Board of Governors, before the final battle, they had absolutely no idea that you had been doing this or what it was costing the economy"

At the mention of 'Board of Governors', Albus face paled.

"If you do not understand how bad your actions were. Let me give you a quick rundown" The goblin said. "Thankfully, in your war, you did not splash money on muggle weapons however, like any war, there was a lot of damage to the environment. Who do you think pays for the workers who fix this damage? The Tax Payers. And because your group neither registered as an official group, any damage you made to the environment was viewed as terrorism. The whole of Magical Britian land value went down each year as a result. Now with Auror's, they are trained to handle anything in the least destructive way possible. If it you had told the authorities what you know from the very beginning instead of starting your own group. Voldermort would have been handle far quicker with a similar location spell. Your 'War' cost our society more than it was making. Why do you think our world has been left behind while the rest have advanced by at least a hundred years? We simply can't afford to advance."

.

.

Silence.

Everybody slowly turned to Dumbledore one by one.

The man they regarded as a hero was being accused of being the one who made their world stay like this.

Even Hermonie Granger, the authority worshiper was silent when she remembered herself questioning why the world full of Magic was so lacking compared to the world she grow up in.

She could literally do what a magical person could do, the muggle way.

Get somebody to tell the truth?

There was a drug for that.

Making potions?

Muggles call it science.

Make somebody fly?

Muggles had Planes for that, even though they were slower, the protective casing made it a lot safer than being on the broom.

Want to influence somebody?

Look at Muggle propaganda and Phycology.

Want to kill somebody?

Muggles had weapons that would kill you before you even open you mouth to utter the first letter of a spell.

Even she wasn't going to lie to herself when she thought of how easy it would be for the Muggle world to break through the magical barrier.

It was a magically barrier after all.

Anybody who had glanced at history would know that those who refuse to evolve with the times, soon perished.

"THAT'S NOT TRUE!" Ron said, "Wizards are far better than Muggles! We are a lot more advanced!"

His view was shared by those who spent most of their time in this world however those who had spent a long period of time in the Muggle world were mysteriously silent.

"YEAH!" Said, somebody agreeing with him.

"This bank does not care, who is better then who" The goblin said, dryly. "The Goblins in the bank who have helped to cover the group up have been executed. Even now, Albus Dumbledore has not registered his group, so it's still illegal. The Vault has been taken away and any money that was used to pay into the members vaults have been taken away and the Vaults are now under investigation. We have recently done a 'clean house' and now do not support terrorism. If we find out you are a member of a group such as this, your Vault will be taken from you until we have an oath from you that you won't use the money in it to sink the economy even further"

Every person in the bank was stunned.

It became clear to everybody that the Malfoy family were never getting their Vaults back, they were finished.

Everybody who had stuck their noses into the war when it wasn't mere self-defense and rallied behind a group was also finished.

The Goblins were coming after all of them.

The goblins had executed all those who had been paid or simply looked the other way even when their world seemed to have frozen in time.

And the only way to get their back was through an oath?

After taking the oath, nobody would want anything to do with Dumbledore unless they were didn't went to eat anymore or have a roof over their head.

And Dumbledore realized this very quickly as well and said. "Can we discuss this in a more private room. There is no need to go that far. I'll even register my group so it was legal"

"Mr Dumbledore. You are several years too late, the deadline has long since passed" The Goblin said, still very professionally. "Now, I suggest you cash in a favor and get you and everybody in your group a good lawyer."

"Why?" Albus said.

Everybody member in the group froze.

However, what the goblin said next sent waves.

"The head of the Potter Family is suing you and your group for the unlawful stalking of his Nephew and imprison his nephew." The goblin said, all their faces changed. "The list is very large and Lord Potter wants this Trail to be very public. Apparently, every media outlet in our world, are being invited. He has even asked us to put an old goblin law into effect that makes sure you all attend the trial and can't escape the country until the trial is over."

And that was it.

Albus Dumbledore wasn't the only one who fainted.

And scene!
