Dudley looked up at the main entrance of the bank, where two squat people in armor stood guard. He tugged Harry behind him, shouldering his bag. He had to be brave, he had to protect Harry, who had taken all the beatings when he had accidental magic, small little Harry who never got enough food or a proper place to sleep simply because of something he could not control. He never even learnt his name until he was six at school when the teacher kept calling it until he received punishment for a lack of response.

Upon nearing the doors, he realized that Goblins actually didn't look like people! They had dark brown and green skin, that was kind of weathered, with pointed ears that drooped slightly, long noses, and a mouth that always seemed pulled into a sneer. they eyes glowed though, and they seemed highly intelligent. Dudley walked up to the one on the left, and said, "Excuse me Sir, would you know who would be able to help me with a problem I have?"

The Goblin seemed taken aback at being spoken to, did people just ignore them or something? He nodded and replied, "Depending on the issue little wizard, I can take you to a teller or a Manager."

"My cousin and I ran away from home, because my mum and dad hurt him because he has magic and they are being paid to do so. I stole the letter they got from the Dumbellydoor man, because I got my letter today, and I was scared what would happen to Harry and I," Dudley spoke softly, digging into his bag and retrieving the slightly crumpled letter his mother had hidden in her drawers.

"Can I ask you for your name Mr Goblin?"

The goblin seemed truly surprised, and Dudley began to worry he had somehow insulted the goblin when he answered, "I am Bloodslash, little wizard."

"Oh, well hello Mr. Bloodslash, I am Dudley Dursley and this is my cousin Hadrian Potter. This is also the letter from Dumbellydoor," Dudley handed him the letter. Bloodslash glanced at the letter and let out a harsh noise.

"Dumbledore, I can take you to a Manager, come with me," the Goblin ordered sharply, speaking in a harsh, unfamiliar language to the other Goblin guarding the door. He nodded, and pushed open the main entrance quickly, Dudley and Harry jogging behind him. For such a small person, he sure was fast!

They went past the main hall, past the tellers and the short line waiting for service, through double doors in the back, down a hall, up some stairs, it was all getting quite confusing and it was essentially quite a bit of walking. When they finally stopped at a black door with the name plate A.M. Flatrock, Dudley let out a sigh of relief, Harry wheezing slightly behind him.

Bloodslash rapped sharply on the door, and opened it after hearing the same strange language shouted back to him, gesturing for the two cousins to enter after him. The office was nice, with two sofas opposite one another near the left side of the room, a coffee table between them, and an impressive desk with two chairs one one side of it, a large comfortable chair on the other side of it located closer to the door. A rather wrinkled goblin, Flatrock most likely sat in the comfortable chair, stacks of paper scattered across the desk, scratching away on one of the sheets with what looked like a feather.

"Account Manager Flatrock, I have brought two wizards here to see you. The elder retrieved a missive from his mother sent from Dumbledore instructing them to abuse his cousin and they were being paid for it. Young wizard, please state your name and the name of your companion," Bloodslash spoke professionally.

Dudley stepped closer to the desk and stuck out his hand, "My name is Dudley Dursley, and this is my cousin Hadrian Potter. Mr. Bloodslash just gave you a letter from a Dumbellydoor, who instructed my mum and dad to beat the magic out of him, and they are paying for it too. I and Harry ran away from home, and I just got my letter today too, so I'm scared they'll hurt Harry for "infecting" me or something. I know that Gringotts deal with client's assets including wills, so did Harry's mum and dad leave a will? Because it would be nice if he had some other family, that would keep him safe."

Account Manager Flatrock's bushy eyebrows rose higher and higher as Dudley explained the situation, before he shouted something in the strange language to Bloodslash who waved his hand on the door. Account Manager Flatrock leaned forward and took Dudley's hand and shook it once.

"Mr. Dursley, while I am unable to take your words at face value, if you would consent to the performing of an inheritance test of both yourself and your cousin, given that he is still ten years of age, and unable to consent himself, we can take this matter further. Also, the fee to conduct an inheritance test is fifty Galleons, would you happen to have the means to pay for this? We have a dozen Harry Potters coming in here in order to claim the vaults left behind by the Potters each week, and they are always deterred by the inheritance test," Flatrock spoke, leaning back into his seat, gesturing for Harry and Dudley to sit down.

Plopping himself into his seat, Dudley dug around into his bag, and pulled out some of the money he had saved up from allowances and birthdays. He counted out one thousand pounds in hundred pound notes and placed it onto the desk.

"I only have regular money, but if needed, I can go exchange it outside," Dudley offered, placing the bag on Harry's lap to let him rest his head as he was dozing off. Harry had been up since six am this morning, and he was bound to be rather tired. Flatrock counted the money, and nodded, reaching into his desk and pulling out two sheets of strange looking paper, and a knife.

As if sensing his worry, Flatrock spoke. "This is parchment. It hold magics such as binding magical contracts and magical signatures better than regular tree based paper. This is parchment that is specially treated with a potion and stored in order for wizards to use for inheritance tests. You prick your finger, and let seven drops of blood fall onto the parchment. Then the results will show up after a few seconds."

"Harry," Dudley nudged him awake, "We have to do inheritance tests on both of us so let me show you how to do it." Harry blearily gazed at his cousin, but otherwise remained quiet as Dudley stood and picked up the knife. It was silver, but not any silver he had seen before, it glowed, as if it had a light source embedded in it. He poked his index finger, which didn't hurt as much as he thought it would, and allowed seven drops of blood to fall onto one of the parchment sheets. The blood instantly disappeared into the parchment, and he called Harry to do the same. He gave Harry the knife, and gestured to copy him.

"Do I really have to Duddy?" Harry asked softly, gazing at the blade.

"Yeah, you do buddy, it's the only way to find out if we-you, have any magical family that can take us in for the while, or if there is any other method to make sure you don't have to get hurt again." Dudley gave his cousin a quick side hug, careful not to jostle the knife he held. Harry took a deep breath, determination on his face, as he quickly pricked his finger and let seven drops of blood to fall on the parchment. As the blood disappeared, they noticed something they hadn't paid attention to when dudly had done it, words were forming on the parchment!
