Chapter 5- Finishing the Gringotts Work

Harry turned around and was met with the portrait of his mother, with tears in her eyes, and next to her was his fathers, who moved to his mothers portrait to comfort her.

"Hi mom", for the second time that day he was on the verge of tears.

"Harry I will be outside talking to the gatekeeper and checking some things, why don't you come outside whenever you are finished" said Mr. Souk.

Harry nodded without breaking eye contact with his parents.

"Oh James look how much he has grown up" said a tearful Lily.

"There there Lily, I am sure the real Lily must be outside waiting for him" said James

"Yes I am sure you are right, this is the first time I i.e. we are activated I forgot that I am a portrait, how silly of me"

"So Harry where are our real selves, I am sure your dad and Sirius must be running around pranking people, and also did you have any siblings" said Lily after wiping her tears.

Harry didn't know how to tell her that she was never there for him, that the portrait was all he had of his mother; he thought he handled enough emotional problem for one day.

"Actually Harry why don't you go and visit the other vaults while I explain to your parents the situation", Sirius came from his portrait and winked at Harry.

"Sirius what are you doing here, actually I just realized that a portrait can only be active if the person who it belongs to is dead" said a shocked James.

"Go Harry come later then we will all talk but go right now" said a sorrowful Sirius who knew that Harry couldn't handle all this right now.

Harry nodded and left without a word.

When Harry went out of the vault, he saw Mr. Souk talking to the gatekeeper in Gobbledygook.

I wonder what they are talking about, thought Harry

Then suddenly the ring he was wearing warmed a little, and he felt a little a lightheaded

Whoa what was that, when the haziness left and he tried to concentrate on what the goblin and the gatekeeper were saying, he was shocked when he started to understand, what they were saying, "…yes Titus I agree Harry needs an alternative way to come to and fro into the vaults, also I will provide an enchanted bag so he never has to keep on returning to get money"

The goblin saw him and then told Titus, "Keep me informed if Harry needs something from the Goblins, and bye"

Well he must have switched to English when I started getting dizzy, thought Harry

"Well Harry shall we move onto the Black main vault or would you like to see your money as well."

"Lets move to the black vaults, I will look through the money later" replied Harry

They followed the same procedure there also, with the exception, that the black gatekeeper was a snake named Greta, the ring again was painful maybe more too, because both the potter and the black rings morphed into one, where the coat of arms now had a snake in it, a black cobra to be precise.

"Harry the gatekeeper wonders whether you would like to make the Potter and Black vaults into one, in doing so the gatekeeper of the blacks will no longer be needed since Titus can control any number of vaults."

"Hmm, no is it possible to have two gatekeepers as well as put them near each other?" inquired Harry.

The goblin thought for a second then spoke, "It has never been done before but yes that is very much possible, the 8 vaults of the blacks will be shifted near the Potters, since you now own a majority of the old vaults with the gatekeepers, we will provide this too you, but it will take a couple of weeks."

"Yes time is not a problem, and what do you mean majority of the ones with gatekeepers."

"Well Mr. Potter gatekeepers are a complicated bit of magic to construct, it takes 50 goblins to work together and combine their magic to make one and thus are terribly expensive to make, Titus actually to the Gryffindor's before the Potters, your family didn't have one before him. Even the Anguifers and the Matadors didn't have one. There are a total 4-5 gatekeepers in this branch and before you ask I cannot tell you whom they belong to, it's our policy. So you can have two gatekeepers from now onwards, I must say your vault will be the most impressive when the work is finished," said a very excited goblin.

"Very well now lets get back to your office and conclude our work" said Harry hopping into the cart.

During the ride to the manager's office, Harry was admiring his ring, thinking of Sirius and his parents, and how and when to face them.

In the office, the manager gave Harry options of a credit card, or an enchanted bag for both muggle and wizarding money.

"I will take both, and how safe are they"

"Only you can use them Harry, since now you are wearing the family ring, I have enchanted them to only respond to those wearing that ring, which of course only you can wear and no one else, and if they do their hand will start burning, a safety measure the ring has."

Then he provided the bag saying he would just have to put his hand into the bag and say the amount, the bag after confirming his identity would give the money, but the only problem was that one could only withdraw 5000 galleons from it, luckily he was taking the other option as well, where there was a 20,000 limit, per day, and 25, 000 was enough, actually more than enough said Harry with a laugh when the goblin explained everything to him. He shrunk the pensieve, and put a anti-spilling charm on it, and put it in his pocket glad that he could now do any magic he wanted without owls from the ministry bearing down on him.

"Well Mr. Souk it was a pleasure doing business with you today, oh before I forget I heard you tell Titus that you will arrange for a way for me to come and go to my vault without the problem of going through the lobby", inquired Harry

The goblin gave him a funny look, but then his eyes fell on the ring, and he smiled and said, "Yes Harry I will need to work on it, I will send you a letter when it will be done"

"Very well then until next time then" said Harry before leaving the office and covering his scar again, and leaving Gringotts.

Authors Note: Well I am sorry for making the scenes soo long, I was planning actually much more but then I thought better not do it now. The reason for explaining so much has reasons, which only will become clear as the story progresses.

Also if anyone is interested in becoming my beta reader since I might miss some mistakes, then the help would be appreciated.
