The Goblin's Revenge
Gringotts, Diagon Alley, London
August 14, 2001
Ragnok sat at his desk with a vicious grin on his face as he looked though all the transaction made by the Great and Infallible Albus – too many names – Dumbledore. He had made the executive decision for Gringotts to close its doors for a full 24 hours while every account manager was seen by the clan's healers and those were up for promotion were able to prove their worth and do full audits of every account, active and in active, and any with the fools name on it was to be immediately flagged and sent straight to his office.
The goblin king found himself laughing as he skimmed each and every flagged account, and if any were to hear him, they would know heads were about to fly, in particular, Albus Dumbledore's! As Ragnok glanced through the many, many accounts, 85 percent of them were accounts that once belonged to great families that had either died out, or squibbed out, that Dumbledore and taken advantage of as Headmaster of Hogwarts.
As it was, he had laid claimed to said accounts but having many, if not all, of the muggleborns take an inheritance test, most likely done at Hogwarts infirmary. Once he had established that they were from an old family that was considered, at the time, to be extinct. Ragnok had to applaud the man, for that is what he was. It was rather genius, but also highly illegal. He assumed that once the test was taken, both the medi-witch and the student were obliviated, after signing said vaults over to Dumbledore so that he could claim them, effectively ending the line by absorbing said vaults into the Dumbledore Vault.
Ragnok made sure that the goblins that were once in charge of those vaults were seen too first and foremost. With a heavy sigh, he turned to the other 15 percent on his desk, of these, 15 percent, 5 percent were accounts from families that died during Voldemort's first reign of terror but left living heirs. Of those, excluding the Potter Family, were the Fawley, Selwyn, and Shafiq. The latter three were of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. The last 10 percent were families that were, or are, Death Eaters, or families where the heirs were prevented from claiming their Lordships. These families were Prince, Black, Lestrange, Travers, Rowel, Prewett, and Weasley, all of which were of the Sacred Twenty-eight, except Prince.
It was a travesty how Dumbledore had managed to get away with this. Luckily, for Gringotts, three families have managed to take back control of their vaults, Potter, Black, and Prince. Now he only had to figure out how to give the muggleborns their vaults that Dumbledore took. The one thing that goblins could not, would not, tolerate was theft, and Dumbledore's life was now forfeit, but first, he had letters to right to those that have been used for their wealth, wealth they hadn't known they had.
Perhaps, Ragnok thought to himself as he went about planning, Dumbledore did this so that the muggleborns wouldn't know that they were, are, descendants of pureblood families and would be able to take their place within the Wizengamont as first-generation Purebloods. Yes! That's it! Ragnok thought to himself with excitement, pulling parchment closer to himself and grabbed his quill. With a wicked grin and an absent shout to the goblin guarding his door, he began to write.
Gringotts Announcement!
It has come to our attention that many vaults have been left inactive, and to better Magical Britain. We are asking that all Hogwarts students to come to Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Below are the list of days and times that students are to come and present themselves at Gringotts.
First Years – August 6-7, 2001 from 8 am – 10 pm each day
Second Years – August 8-9, 2001 from 8 am – 10 pm each day
Third Years – August 10-11, 2001 from 8 am – 10 pm each day
Fourth Years – August 12-13, 2001 from 8 am – 10 pm each day

Once all tests have been completed, Gringotts will contact all parties that are affected by the results we have complied and will make the necessary appointments for all students during the Hogwarts' Winter Holidays.
All costs will be discounted greatly for all students who take our required tests. If any have questions, please ask when you come during your appointed times, and to remember that there are many students who are in need of these tests, and all regular banking needs will be taken care of between 11 am – 4pm during this time.
If your banking needs are not urgent, we ask all our loyal customers to be patient and wait until August 19, 2001, when our regular banking hours will return to normal. For students and their families that come to Gringotts during the times indicated above, you will have the opportunity to go to your vaults at that time.
King Ragnok of the Gringotts Clan
Gringotts Wizarding Bank
After re-reading the notice, he grinned and looked at the goblin before his desk, waiting for his next orders. "You are to take this, and have it printed in all wizarding newspapers as well as sending a copy to the WWN. You're to tell the editors that it is to be out by this evening at the very latest and it would be best that it is out as soon as possible. Inform them that the cost is no problem. As for the WWN, tell them to read the announcement every hour on the hour starting when they receive it. We will bring Albus Dumbledore down and inform the public of his thievery. He has crossed the wrong creatures when he took it upon himself to steal from ancient families!"
The goblin before him gave a matching toothy grin, took the announcement from his king and left quickly, after all, time was money, and they were not pleased to have to close the doors for a full 24 hours.
Ragnok sat back in his chair, content in what he has done thus far. Already he has informed the goblins that have completed their audits to redistribute the wealth and to recall all items that were stolen from the accounts that Dumbledore had illegally claimed as his own. If the amount of galleons in the Headmaster's vault was insufficient, then they were to go into the Bank's coffers to bring those affected vaults to what they were before he got his dirty, thieving hands on them.
Doing this would certainly be a risk, but a risk with high rewards with the reactivation of many accounts and to bring back families that were thought lost long ago. By doing this, and during the summer holidays, Dumbledore would have absolutely no say, and once all tests were given and the results studied, then, and only then, would they inform the Headmaster of his heavy, heavy fines! Some days it was wonderful to be a bloodthirsty goblin in control of Wizarding Britain's money. With that final though, Ragnok gave a deep throated laugh that would have terrified any and all wizards who heard it and caused all goblins in the vicinity to grin and allowed their thirst for the blood of their enemies to flow beneath their feet.
Please read and review! I look forward to everyone's comments and your suggestions!
