September 1st, 1991
Primrose tightens her hold on Harry's hand while she leads the way into Gringotts. She coughs into her elbow and frowns at how ill she felt. That horrid night on that rock was still affecting her.
"E-excuse me..." Primrose starts weakly, stopping in front of one of the many open desks, "Me and my brother have some questions–a-and we were told it would be a good idea to take a–um–an inheritance test?"
The goblin looks up, snarling while giving the girl a narrowed glare. She flinches back slightly and averts her gaze, the seconds going by agonizingly slow.
"Names?" The goblin asks in its gruff voice.
Primrose blushes red and lightly pulls Harry's arm, so he could answer. "H-Harry Potter and Primrose Potter."
"Hm... Come with me," The goblin states before getting up from his seat and briskly walking out of the main hall. The twins scramble to catch up.
"We've been waiting for quite some time for you two to return. You both had an appointment scheduled ten years ago to take this inheritance test–if you are who you say you are," The goblin snarls, making the twins glance at each other.
"We had an appointment? Did Aunt Dursley know?"
"I doubt it."
"Apologies, but Harry and I don't recall ever being told we had an appointment–a scheduled appointment," The fiery haired girl says nervously. The goblin stops walking and whirls around. Primrose and Harry stumble to a stop, so they wouldn't barrel into the creature.
"Have you not received the statements we sent every year to remind you of the appointment?" He asks, in–what Primrose thought–a shocked tone.
The twins shake their heads. "We–we only just found out about this world–the Wizarding World two days ago. And the only letter we ever saw addressed to us was our Hogwarts letters last week."
Primrose takes a small step back at the downright horrid expression on the goblin's face. She blindly reaches behind her for Harry's hand. He quickly grasps it tightly.
The goblin grunts angrily. "That damn man... I should have double-checked!" He turns around and starts trudging forward even faster. The twins scramble to catch up when the goblin enters an empty office.
"Sit. I will be right back, I need to find someone." The goblin slams the door closed, making Primrose jump slightly. She glances at her twin brother with wide eyes.
"I hope we aren't in trouble... Do wizards and witches have taxes?!" She asks worriedly. Harry rolls his eyes and gives his twin a look.
"Is that really what you're worried about? If witches and wizards have taxes? Not, what the goblin needed to double-check, or–I don't know, if Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon returned home yet?" He asks sassily, making Primrose roll her eyes.
"Well, we are at a bank. If witches and wizards–sorry, goblins have taxes placed on money, we could be in serious debt!" The fiery redhead exclaims with her hands on her hips. Harry plops down in one of the chairs, pouting.
"Ha." Primrose smirks triumphantly before sitting in the chair next to her older brother. Right when she sits down, the door opens and the goblin from earlier walks in with another.
"This is Arraff. He is the accountant for all Potter vaults," The first goblin introduces the new goblin.
Primrose gives a nervous smile and a small curtsey. "H-hello. It's–um–I–it's nice to meet you Mr. Arraff."
"You–" Arraff clears his throat and walks around the desk. "–Ulknas had told me that you have some questions, and you want to take an inheritance test." Harry nods his head, keeping a grip on his twin's hand to calm her when she sits back down.
"Yes and apologies. We didn't know about this appointment we were due to attend... we had no knowledge of it."
Arraff males two pieces of paper appear and places it in front of the twins. "Before we go into any questions and any Potter business, let's do the inheritance test. To prove who you are, if you are Harry and Primrose Potter."
"Um, what do we do?" Primrose stares at the blank piece of paper with furrowed eyebrows. Arraff snarls and takes out an intricate silver dagger with runes engraved in it.
"You simply need to prick your finger. Only let one drop of blood on the paper. It will reveal your inheritance and who you are," Arraff explains, handing the dagger to Harry. Harry grabs the dagger and inspects it with curious eyes. He glances at Primrose and receives a nod from her. Harry takes a deep breath and pricks his finger.
He lets one drop of blood on the paper while he hands the dagger back to Arraff. The goblin swiftly cleans it before handing it to the other twin. Primrose watches in awe as Harry's paper suddenly fills with information.

Primrose blinks in surprise at the long list of legacies. She points at Vernon and Petunia's name.
"Why does it say they are illegally adopted as our godparents?" She asks curiously. Arraff hands the dagger to her and grabs the paper. His snarl turns into–what Primrose assumes–a dark frown.
"Miss Potter, please go through with the test." Primrose flinches at the dark tone, but follows through. Her paper fills up quickly like her brother's did.

~~~~~Gringotts Bank Inheritance Test~~~~~
"Gifted by Conquest and Rite of Conquest, what does that mean? Also why is Gaunt and Slytherin repeated?" The twins asks at the same time. Arraff hums as he reads Primrose's test.
"During the war, many Houses were split between the Light Side and the Dark Side. When you two ended the war, hundreds of families celebrated. But, many great and old families were completely killed off during the war. Before they went extinct, Noble House of Buchannan and Noble and Ancient House of Vabsley had written in their wills for whoever defeats the Dark Lord, they will be given their legacies. With the Noble and Most Ancient House of Gaunt and the Most Noble and Most Ancient House of Slytherin, your mother, Lady Potter, it seems was a direct descendant of the main bloodline of Noble and Most Ancient House of Gaunt and in turn, the Most Noble and Most Ancient House of Slytherin. The Dark Lord was said to be the Heir of Slytherin, which also means he was the Heir of Gaunt. Because you had defeated him, you now have the lordships. If you wanted, you could have already taken the lordships, because you are from the main bloodline," The goblin explains.
"Why do the legacies say undecided?" Primrose asks in confusion.
Arraff points at the Heirships and the date it had. "That was the appointment you were not aware of. Normally, the eldest child would be given all heirships, but Lord and Lady Potter wanted to you both to decide on which ones you wanted. The appointment was just for formalities, but no one had cancelled the appointment after they had passed. We assumed it meant someone would bring you in their stead, but that is not the case it seems."
"What do you think we should do first?" Primrose asks, looking up from her paper. Arraff blinks in surprise, not snarling for once.
"Why are you asking for my input?" He asks in a moment of genuine confusion. It was the twins turn to blink in surprise.
"Why wouldn't we be?" The twins ask. Arraff stares at them in shock before snarling again.
"Let's go over your heirships... it's long overdue." He makes two other papers appear. "I'll discuss what I can."
Primrose and Harry smile brightly, glancing at each other. Finally. They're able to learn more about their world!
Hey! Oh my God. This took a while to write. I'm sorry, but it should pick up soon. Hope you all are enjoying the story so far! Bye.
