Chapter 4: To the vault.

Hermione and Remus rode in the back of the cart while Harry and Mr. Griplent road in the front. They road for a long time deeper and deeper, Harry even swore they had road by a dragon, though he was not sure other then he saw flames come from a side passage. When they came to a stop it was close to an hour on the cart. It was even more shocking that above the vault perched on a cliff was a dragon as dark as shadows but when the torches flared they say it.

Harry asks, "Mr. Griplent what is that Dragon up there?"

Mr. Griplent the Goblin says, "That Mister Potter is a bread dragon by the goblins made to live in shadow and trained to obey Goblins." The goblin looked at Harry and continued, "If you had come down here with out a Gringotts Goblin you would have been attacked by that dragon."

Harry asks as he hand the Goblin the Vault key, "So this Vault is High security?"

Griplent nods, "Yes Mr. Potter just like your family's vault is though this one is 121 and your family's is number 9. Very old families and some of the first to trust us with their gold." He looks sly to Harry; "The Blacks also pay an extra 300 gallons a month to keep him there."

Harry asks, "Was that in the fees you told me about Mr. Griplent?"

Mr. Griplent nods and says, "Yes it was Mr. Potter." With that he opens the vault and then Harry, Hermione, Remus, the Curse breaker and goblin enter the vault.

Harry looked around the main chamber. In the center of the room there were 50 chests, all closed but no lock visible every foot of the wall was covered with what looked like book shelves with glass covers or cabinets, a Draw half way down each one. When Harry looked closer each one had neat piles of good on shelves.

Mr. Griplent says, "Mr. Potter, each chest holds a hundred thousand gallons, the wall cabinets hold the balance though they can hold up to 50 times the amount they now do."

Harry nods then heads to the left through an archway; here is the collection of books. There are eight rows of book cases lined with books each one the length of the room, close to 60 feet long. Each row is labeled. The first row was labeled Transfiguration. The second row was labeled, Charms. The third row was labeled Potions, the fourth was labeled hexes and curse, and the fifth row was labeled Dueling.

Harry turned to Hermione, "Hermione I would like you to pick three books from each section I will look when I get back and decided weather or not you can take them, or I want them."

Hermione nodded and jumped forward to the shelves on transfiguration, she started to look them over Remus walking with her. Before she would take a book down Remus would cast a spell to make sure she would not be hurt then the curse breaker from Gringotts would check to make sure the book was safe as well.

Harry meanwhile went to the next room. Harry just looked there were lots of weapons on the walls from swords to daggers, small hand axes to big executioner axes, maces, hammers, pole arms, spears. The walls were lined with weapon racks and were full of weapons.

Harry didn't touch any of the weapons he just walked around and looked then he turned to Mr. Griplent, "Mr. Griplent if I sold these weapons could I find someone to buy them, could I make decent money?"

Mr. Griplent looked to Harry and says, "Yes Mr. Potter the collectors out there would pay a lot of gallons for some of the weapons in here and the rest could be sold to a muggle museum for a decent profit."

"Thank You Mr. Griplent," Harry says then heads out of the still thinking he enters the third room and stops dead, it is wall-to-wall crates. Each crate is labeled but Harry is a little bit to far away to read them.

Harry looked at Mr. Griplent and says, "Mr. Griplent what is in these crates?"

Mr. Griplent says, "Mr. Potter I believe that the crates have numbers on them that from a book in the back on the ledge stand will tell you what each crate holds." He waves towards the back of the room, "and back there Mr. Potter you will also find that you can ask for a crate by number at it will come out beside the ledger stand."

"Oh and are their dangerous items in here?" Harry asks.

"Mr. Potter, I am not sure I have just token over your account on just this vault, there are three goblins now in charge of your accounts, Mr. Hurlock is the your account Manager, Mr. Mattock is the Potter family Solicitor, and I am your personal Solicitor now Mr. Potter."

Harry looked back at Mr. Griplent, "What do you mean By Solicitor?"

Mr. Griplent says, "This Vault and all vaults are over seen by a goblin, who has studied business law in the Wizard world Mr. Potter, then like you were Mr. Mattock has to over see three vaults, and I over see this one and look into your trust fund, well to make sure we get along and do not argue over how to make your money work for you, we both answer to Mr. Hurlock who is the Head Solicitor for Harry James Potter." The goblin sort of snorts in humor, "So see Mr. Potter I am your vault manager for your own accounts, Mr. Mattock runs the Potter Family accounts, which you control but can not change the system or move out of that vault. Then Mr. Hurlock, well we have to pass on to him what we are doing in your name and he has to okay."

"Oh so he is the one to ask?" Says Harry.

"No Mr. Potter I am the one to ask but I have just been appointed and have not had time to go over the ledgers or the manifest of what is in your vaults yet."

Harry turned back and asks, "Do you think I could get a pensive from in here and maybe a foe glass?"

Mr. Griplent starts to walk towards the back of the room between the rows of crates. Once to the back of the room he walks to the center of the wall and there on a stand is a book with a quill next to it is a book with a list of items with numbers beside them.

Mr. Griplent turns to Harry, "anything else you were thinking of buying today that we might find in Mr. Potter?"

Harry thinks and says, "Yes Mr. Griplent I am also looking for a bag that is small that I can carry on my belt but can hold all I purchase today in the Wizard world and maybe a muggle like bag I can carry in the muggle world to hold all I purchase there." Harry pauses, "Oh and anything I can get that can detect dark magic, or someone attempting to sneak up on me. Plus I would like Potion equipment."

Mr. Griplent turns to the book starts to page through it and touches certain pages with his long finger. Boxes fly up and land on the long worktable beside the Ledger stand.

Mr. Griplent after four crates come up to the table then says, "Mr. Potter the first crate has pensives, the instruction books, the second crate has every day enchanted items. The third box has the foe glass and Protective items that you could use, the fourth has muggle items that are enchanted."

"Thank you Mr. Griplent," Harry says then asks another question, "Mr. Griplent could you tell me if any of the boxes deal with Dueling items?" Harry thinks and adds, "See with Voldermort back I feel I am going to be needing anything I can get to help me with dueling."

"Yes Mr. Potter," He moves over the ledger looks up some stuff and waves his hand summoning another crate to the table." Oh but if the Dueling stuff is to old," Mr. Griplent stops for a second then summons a fifth box to the table and nods, "or out dated you could go to that store jus down the way and buy anything else you needed."

Harry nods and opens the first crate, inside is twelve pensives, six have memoirs in them, or at least the silver substances. Two are broke or seem to be cracked and the last four vary in size from one that is almost 20 inches across to one that is only 8 inches, Harry picks one that is 12 inches and then picks up instruction manual.

He sets them aside, Mr. Griplent waves his hand and the crate closes and is gone in a flash the next one moves to be in front of Harry. Harry opens this one and looks inside; there are cloaks, robes, some boots, quills, and bags, one marked Dangerous. Harry not sure what they are looks to Griplent who walks over looks in and picks up two small bags, big enough to say hold two or Three text books. He shoes Harry the label then shows that the Ledger has them marked as Bags of extra space and that both could hold almost 5 cubic feet with out showing and strain.

Harry smiles then moves to the third box. As he opens it, Harry sees four mirrors, two that are 2 ft by 1 foot, and one that is 2 foot in diameter and tow more that are a foot. Then one mirror that is small enough he could almost carry it around with him. Also in the crate are sneakscopes, Lie detectors, bag filled with 40 stones and a large stone on top of them. A parchment on top states that they are warding stones and may be out of use but will help to protect and alert the person with the big stone if anyone meaning him harm cross the lines the stones make.

Harry smiled and slipped one of the two foot by one-foot mirrors into his bag, a lie detector, one of the foot diameter mirrors and he put the small hand one in his pocket for now. It seemed as he touched them they aligned them selves to him. Then Harry put the bag of stones into his large bag too.

Harry then looks into the Fourth crate, inside is three racks of watches from pocket watches to the wristwatch. Then there are necklaces, rings and earrings. On top of theses are a list of what each is and what they do. Harry looks over the list and picks two watches to take with him a ring and three earrings. Then Harry picks two necklaces as well all for now go into this bag.

Harry then moved to the fifth crate and opened it. The paper on top spoke of what was inside and what it could possible be used for. Harry looked them over then reached in and took out a belt with a holster on it and another holster that looked like it would hang under the arm, plus one for arm holster. Then Harry lifted out a cloak, one of the few things that might fit him. The cloak seems to reflect the light of the chamber as Harry lifted it and put in his bag.

Harry then turns to Mr. Griplent and says, "Mr. Griplent, I will be back the day I turn 17, I will want to meet with Mr. Mattock, Mr. Hurlock and yourself to discuss my vaults."

Mr. Griplent says, "Yes Mr. Potter I will tell them to plan on that day."

Harry turns and gets serious, "How do I set up My own will Sir?"

Mr. Griplent looks at Harry then hands him a rock. "Say my will to this then tell it what you want. It is like the one Mr. Sirus Black used to make his will known."

Harry just nods and takes it then turns and goes back to the book room. He sees that Hermione is in heaven and has about 25 books at the end of the rows on a table that he didn't notice the first time in here.

Harry says, "Hermione what are you doing, taking all my safe books from me?"

Hermione comes out and looks at Harry, "No Harry if you check I got books out on how to use Transfiguration (She waves three fingers around) and charms in duels (waves five fingers)," Smiling widely she continues, "Plus curses that are barely legal, that accounts for nine of the books." Hermione looks to Harry then says, "Plus I got 4 books on Defensive charms, for places, people and things.

Then I got a book I thought you would love, the way of the conjuring duelist. Then Harry I found a book on, To duel with Aurors, another it's titled to duel with dark wizards. That Harry accounts for 15 of the books Harry, though I also got 2 books on dark wizards and the study of the powers they have, and another for research, the chase of immortality. Plus Harry one on titled, Spells to help your magical powers grow in strength." She sticks her tongue, "So I have only six books for myself to read Harry."

Harry laughs and moves closer, "Anything dangerous I should know about Herm. ?"

Hermione says, "Yes actually three books from Transfiguration three from charms and four from Curses and hexes. Haven't been in potions or defensive Magic yet."

Harry turns to Mr. Griplent, "Is there any way for me to find how to counter those curses on those books Sir?"

Mr. Griplent says, "Mr. Potter the Ledger in the back of this vault will have the key words to get around the curses on the books, if the curses are there. However the ledger will also have to be tapped by your wand for each book to leave the vault." He pauses then says, "Oh and Mr. Potter you can also use the ledger to find books your looking for just like the one in the storage room for Magical items."

Harry nods and thanks Mr. Griplent. "Okay Mr. Griplent, thank you for that information."

Harry moves to the ledger stand and starts to look. Ten minutes later he has added five more books from Potions and defensive magic.

Then Harry calls out, "Hermione I am all set. You can come back next time with me to go through the rest of the books okay."

Hermione smiled and said, "Okay Harry."

Harry then put the books in one of his new small but large holding capacity bags. The trip back the surface after that was rather quick. Harry stopped to just look around the lobby when Ron Ginny and Mrs. Weasley came out the door to the vaults.
