Chapter 14: Soul Destroyed
"Stupefy" snapped Harry, not caring when his friend hit his head on his way to the ground. He would not let the boy who had used him, and hurt him, stole his money get away with it.
"Good one" said Voldemort in a rare show of approval.
"Severus I want my money safe, I don't care how I want my money safe, I don't want anyone else getting their grubby hands on it. New keys and locks put on the vaults, and them all given to me and want a statement and if I can I want all the money back" said Harry angry. Cursing himself for not doing it sooner, Dumbledore may still be taking his money.
"We can do it tonight if you want love" said Severus, smirking in satisfaction, Harry truly was his now and was well and truly dark. He was now more than ever glad he had taken Harry, any regrets were now totally gone. Also glad Harry was himself and not a submissive, that kind of power Harry had should not be submitted to anyone. Even him, he had used to be the dominate but now, he didn't really care. He would rather have a relationship with someone on an even equal basis.
"Good, that's fine with me, I want him in a cell right next to Krum and Hermione, let him see what his precious bitch has been doing behind his back." sneered Harry.
"Very well, you heard him get him in the cell, Crabbe, Goyle, don't let him get away" said Voldemort looking serious.
"Yes, My Lord" said Crabbe walking towards Ron with Goyle, they lifted him up carelessly and took him down to the dungeons. They were not as stupid as they some times portrait themselves to be.
"Come love lets get your vaults seen too" said Severus.
"Ok, how are we getting there?" asked Harry curiously.
"Portkeying in, best way plus we need to glamour ourselves" said Severus.
"Done" said Harry immediately changing himself, he looked nothing like Harry Potter when he was done.
Severus did the same thing, grimacing at the blonde color his hair went. Sighing softly he cuddled Harry into himself, Voldemort had created the portkey for them. Harry nor Severus could make one, because it would not let them out of the manor. Handing it to them, he told them the activation word was; together they touched it and said the activation word.
"Gringotts wizarding bank".
They were gone in a whirl of wind, Voldemort then banished the illusion into a million different pieces. It was a good piece of illusion; perhaps he could get the boy to join his side. After what he had seen…perhaps there was hope that the boy would join.
"Take the boy down to the best cells we have," said Voldemort.
"May I ask why My Lord?" asked the Death Eater curiously.
"Because he may just prove useful" said Voldemort smirking sadistically. He didn't blame his Death Eater for being curious, because the boy was in the Order.
"Yes My Lord" said Nott smirking realizing his Lord was correct
He was moved to the cell, which was a luxury compared to the other ones. It had a bed, nice toilet and the person or people in the good cell got food. Usually it was for people they wanted to recruit but didn't trust, sighing softly Voldemort decided to enjoy what was left of the party.
The rest of them started dancing again, but they were too tense to actually enjoy the night. They thought that Dumbledore would send more people, they were more aware of their surroundings than ever before. They had heard and realized that illusions had been put up. It was something they had not thought of before, now they knew they were careful. To think there could have been millions of Order members behind it, they shuddered to think what could have happened.
Eventually at about four A.M they started apparating home, and Voldemort himself went to bed. Wondering curiously how Severus and Harry were getting on, they were his two best recruits and didn't want too loose them. If they didn't come back before morning he would send his Death Eaters and spy's to see if anything happened.
--------------------------------
"I think we are best talking to Griphook, he knows who I am and might help us, I want rid of the goblin that's taking care of my money" said Harry as they appeared in Gringotts.
"What ever you want lets go then" said Severus.
"Griphook can I speak to you privately please" demanded Harry, Griphook's eyes widened and he nodded almost dumbly.
"How did you know that was Griphook?" Asked Severus curiously a bit of awe in his face.
"He is the only Goblin I've ever seen, the goblins are all different, just look at them properly they have different sized noses and different eyes and faces. Some are smaller than others by just a bit, see" said Harry frowning at Severus not understand his surprise and awe.
"Harry no one calls Goblins by their names, not the proper goblin, they usually just ask for them. Hardly anyone can tell them apart, but you have given me something to think about!" said Severus smirking softly.
"Can I help you gentlemen?" asked Griphook, still awed.
"Yes, I want who ever is in control over my vaults in here please" said Harry seriously.
"I will get him right away Mr. Potter" said Griphook still frowning wondering why the boy wanted to talk to him, he was just a goblin who took people to their vaults. He didn't have a high paying position; he didn't have a good job all together.
-------------
"Do you know what you are doing?" asked Severus softly.
"I think so, if not then I'm sure you will help me" said Harry smiling softly.
"Fair enough," said Severus nodding his head.
--------------
"This is Rignag sir, he is the head of the Potter and Black Vaults" said Griphook.
"Good, I want him gone for letting people into my vaults without my consent, for not informing me or giving me bank statements. For giving people my keys and letting people use my vaults when ever they pleased." said Harry.
"This is a very bad accusation you are making Mr. Potter we do not take kindly to accusations like this" said Griphook angrily.
"Well I've never had the keys to my vault as my own! Hagrid kept it from when I entered Hogwarts. I saw it once in my fourth year for a couple of minutes before Mrs. Weasley had it. I've never told anyone Goblin nor Wizard that they could take money from my vault. I know for a fact that Dumbledore has been taking money from my vaults without my knowledge or consent. He has been giving money out to Ronald Weasley and many others I have no idea about. Now do not call me a liar or I swear I will make sure no one trusts Gringotts again. Just remember I know many purebloods and they will withdraw their money and everything and you will lose valuable customers!" snapped Harry.
"I see very well, I apologize Mr. Potter its not often one of our own are accused of stealing. Now the head of Gringotts will be here within minutes" said Griphook.
"What? Don't get him involved" said the petrified Goblin.
"Don't get who involved with what?" asked a new Goblin coming in his stance make him look the most important person in Gringotts. Royalty if you liked, it was obvious he was rich. The clothes he had on were expensive looking and rare as well.
"Sir these men have accused the manager of Potter and Black vaults of preventing the courts of Goblin justice as well as stealing and allowing theft to continue" said Griphook respectfully.
"Are you now Mr. Potter, Mr. Snape?" asked the Goblin looking at them.
"Yes sir," said Harry respectfully.
"Hm…now lets here your story once more" said the Goblin sitting down behind the chair his whole attention on Harry and Severus. The door was locked, thanks to the wards.
"Well I've never had the keys to my vault as my own! Hagrid kept it from when I entered Hogwarts. I saw it once in my fourth year for a couple of minutes before Mrs. Weasley had it. I've never told anyone Goblin nor Wizard that they could take money from my vault. I know for a fact that Dumbledore has been taking money from my vaults without my knowledge or consent. He has been giving money out to Ronald Weasley and many others I have no idea about." repeating word for word of his last statement to Griphook.
"I'm surprised at you, willing to risk your life for a mere wizard" said the goblin glaring at the goblin.
"What do you mean?" asked Harry curiously.
"The sentence for stealing in Gringotts is death penalty, if he doesn't get that then it will be exile for him" said the goblin.
"I see, good, well I want Griphook to take over all my accounts, also want statements before I leave. If possible I want every penny that's been taken from me put back" said Harry.
"That's fine by me, Dumbledore has plenty of money, and however he is not the Lord Dumbledore of the vaults. The money will be put straight into your accounts any withdrawals from straight after your parents' death. Whether he took the money or not it matters not if he had your key." he said.
"Good, now can I see some statements and get the money transferred right away" said Harry his eyes cold and hard.
"Yes, Griphook you heard him, congratulations as well" said the goblin.
"Thank you sir" said Griphook almost ecstatic with happiness.
Clicking his fingers two huge massive files came into view, the names slowly changing. From the pervious person looking after the vaults, to Griphook being the manager.
"Here is a withdrawal statement sir," said Griphook handing it over.
"Jesus fucking Christ! What did he need all that for! It started from when my parents died!" said Harry wide eyed.
"Now can you tell me how many withdrawals you have made?" asked Griphook.
"Well just at the start of each year, enough to get my books and that after third year some so I can spend money in Hogsmeade but it was never a lot" said Harry shaking his head.
"Once a year, ah I see just weeks before you started back at Hogwarts each year" said Griphook nodding his head. He clicked his fingers and seven withdraws were taken from the sheet.
"That's a total of nine millions galleons taken from your vault, that's almost half of the Dumbledore account. Which has been slowly disappearing over the years, they are not the richest to start with" said Griphook.
"Transfer it" said Harry.
"Very well" said Griphook.
The other goblin and Griphook started the transfer; they didn't need a reason to do it. As they did, the galleons on Harry's statement started raising higher and higher. He knew that the parchment was self updating, he smirked the whole time the money started going up.
"That's it sir," said Griphook.
"Good, I want every lock changed, and the old ones I don't care what happens to them. I want all new ones in my hand, also want them to go into the securest vault there is. So even the ministry cannot seize my assets" said Harry.
"It will be done immediately," said Griphook leaving for five minutes.
"I am sorry about this Mr. Potter I think I will need to keep a closer eye on my goblins from now on" said the head of Gringotts glaring disappointedly at the goblin still shaking in the corner knowing that his doom awaited him. He should never have done what he did for Dumbledore, he had only realized a little too late.
