It was early the next morning when Ginny emerged from Harry's room, wearing a simple long tee-shirt she found in Harry's dresser she slumped towards the bathroom, rather tired. She Winced when she heard a voice form behind her "Ginevra Molly Weasley!" Ginny sighed slightly 'please no' turning around her suspicions were confirmed as her mother stared at her with an angry glare.
"Ginny! In my room right now!" walking into her own room she shook Arthur roughly as Ginny walked in closing the door behind her. Falling out of bed Arthur groaned "What is it Molly?" She glared at him as he tried to go back to bed "Your daughter just came out of Harry's room in nothing but a tee-shirt!" This seemed to catch his attention as he quickly scrambled to a sit.
Ginny sighed moving her feet nervously as she watched her Mother put a silencing Charm around the room "M-mom i can explain i-" She was cut off by another glare "Tell me you didn't sleep with Harry"
Staring at the floor Ginny moved nervously in her spot "I-i can't..." Getting over her initial embarrassment and surprise she looked up at her mother returning the glare. "So what if i did anyway! I love him Mom"
This seemed to satisfy Mr. Weasley as he simply layed back down and curled back up under the covers, long nights at the Ministry made it so he just wanted every minute of sleep he could get. "Ginny! You haven't even reached 17 yet! We could prosecute Harry!" this got a shocked look from her daughter before she returned with full force "You wouldn't dare! You love Harry like a son don't you! So this just gets you closer to having him as a real son-in-law!" This seemed to hit her mother pretty hard as she sighed still some anger in her eyes.
Looking rather defeated Mrs. Weasley sighed "Were not done Ginny, for now i won't get in the way but we will continue this conversation." Nodding her agreement Ginny tiredly left the room, claiming the shower for the next half hour to help calm her sore body.
It was around noon when everyone had finally gotten up, showered and assembled for a late breakfast, Ginny unable to eat as she thought about the night before batted around her food with a fork, occasionally taking a bite. Harry had tried to get her to eat more but she wasn't feeling very hungry.
As soon as Breakfast was over she was pulled aside by both Hermione and Tonks who looked absolutely Giddy. Tonks smirked slightly as they locked, and silenced one of the spare rooms on the first floor. "So? Is it true you slept with Harry?"
Ginny's mouth practically fell open at the sudden question "W-what? How did you find out about that!" It was Hermione's chance to smirk "So you did!"
Smiling Tonks leaned back in a dusty chair "Hm...so was he a one time wonder? Or did you two go for a second round?" Blushing madly Ginny could do nothing but stare at the floor.
"we went for a second round...then a third" Hermione chuckled, considering eventually she would be in the same position..so it was good to find out what she could. Tonks however was looking rather...imaginative as she looked at the ceiling "Wow...Harry's an animal!" This even got Ginny to giggle at the thought
It was a good 40 minutes before Ginny got out of the room, a deep red blush across her entire face was present, while Hermione looked no better. Tonks had a complete grin "Now you two remember everything i told you..." they both nodded and did there best to force back there blushes when they entered the kitchen.
Ron blinked looking up at the girls "Where did you three go off to?" he received a glare from both his sister and Hermione and sighed "Ok...not asking that question again, bloody hell you girls are moody" This earned him a nice large bump on the back of his head "Ugh! What did i say!" looking to Harry he simply chuckled shaking his head.
Harry grinned a bit "Ron you'll never learn..." When Ginny sat down next to him he leaned over and gave her a small kiss, causing Ron to look away and Ginny to blush slightly. "Hey, what do you all say to a trip to Diagon ally...We haven't had a day off in awhile" Ginny and Hermione looked at each other for a moment before smirking, and screaming in unison "Shopping!" As soon as the girls ran out of the room planning all there stops Ron groaned "Bloody hell Harry, do you see what you've done?" Sighing Harry nodded.
The group slowly assembled in the study, Harry and Ron were first and had to wait a good 10 minutes before they were joined by Neville and Ginny. Eventually there whole group was together, even talon, Tonks, Lupin, and Mad-Eye. Those who couldn't aparate where taken by the order members, while everyone else did it themselves.
Arriving Last harry smiled slightly "Well let's go to gringotts first, then we can split into groups" They all nodded, the girls looking especially happy for a shopping trip. Marching into the bank they all withdrew money from there various accounts, although it took a rather long time with all the security measures before Harry smiled. "You guys can go on, I got to talk to them about a few things. Receiving small nods from everyone, he watched as they left the bank in small groups, except for Ron who didn't want to be stuck holding bags.
Ron grinned shaking his head "Better watching you talk to goblins then having 100 shrunk bags in my pocket" Harry grinned back before walking up the the teller "Excuse me, I'm Harry Potter, i was wondering if i could combine some accounts"
The grumpy looking goblin stared at him for several moments before speaking "You'll need to speak the the head goblin, head down that hall and its the last door. Blinking Ron and Harry's heads followed his hand as he pointed to a rather long hallway. Nodding they started down the well decorated walk.
Finally reaching the door at the end Harry slowly brought his hand to the knob opening it enough for them to peek there heads in. The room was very nice, obviously showing the wealth the goblin had, considering most the room had gold somewhere. As if expecting them the goblin looked up from a few papers at his desk "Mr. Potter come on, i don't have all day, even for the Golden boy"
Harry pushed open the door and promptly slipped into a comfortable arm chair, followed by Ron who sat in the other. Even though it was rather rude, he was glad the goblins didn't treat him special "What is it i can do for you Mr. Potter"
Harry shifted nervously under the goblins stare before taking a deep breath "I'd like to move the Potter, Black, and my trust fund into one account" The goblin looked from Harry to Ron before nodding "Give me the key to your trust, and we will need you to come with us to personally unlock the other vaults, they have magical locks" Handing over the key he watched as another goblin walked through a door in the back taking the key "Transfer these funds into Vault 245 and have a team of goblins meet me at both vault 678, and 190" The goblin nodded before exiting.
Grunting the Goblin stood walking towards a door to his right "Come with me" Turning his head to the confused teens he simply waited until they stood to follow. Inside was another rail that connected to the main system, but instead of the usual car it seemed to be a more luxurious private car. "You do realize it's a 5000 Galleon Charge for starting a new account, and transferring so much money?" Even though he hadn't known Harry simply nodded considering the amount of money the blacks had it probably wouldn't even dent his account.
Stepping into the car the goblin was followed by Harry and Ron before the car began it's usually speeding pace down the rails. Grinning Ron looked to Harry "So, what is Lord Potter going to do with his vast Fortune?" Chuckling Harry shrugged
"not sure yet, just thought id get it all in one place first" It wasn't long before the cart pulled to a stop at a pair of great silver doors, sapphires implanted in designs. Standing there was a small group of Goblins obviously there for transferring the funds.
The goblin stepped out of the cart and immediately moved to the doors, promptly pushing them open to reveal a blue whirlpool like door behind it "Mr. Potter, please if you will simply stick your arm into the ward, if you are indeed meant to open the Potter vault it shall disappear."
Stepping forward Harry slowly inserted his arm into the center of the whirlpool, it was a warm sensational feeling before it collapsed into itself revealing Large Mountains of gold. His mouth dropping wide open Ron couldn't help but Grin "Bloody Hell Harry! You sure are a Rich Lord" Chuckling Harry shook his head.
Convinced Harry was indeed a lord considering the esteem the Potter family had he grunted again "Well Lord Potter, you want this all in the new account then?" When he received a nod he waved his hand to the goblins "Move it all" Stepping back into the Cart they continued.
After repeating almost the same process with the Black vault they moved up to his new vault where the goblins were moving the last batch of Gold, and last of the heirlooms into the giant Jewel encrested doors. Blinking Harry stepped out of the cart "Whats with all the jeweled doors?"
Grumbling something under his breath the goblin turned to Harry "lord potter, all noble family's receive doors depending on there stature" Nodding slowly Harry walked into the vault both his and Rons jaws dropped at the sight of the combined fortune "Um...anyway i can get money out of here without coming back?"
Nodding the Goblin led them out of the vault "Now what kind of Lock would you like on your fault? Key or magic. If you want both it will be 2000 Galleons." Nodding slowly Harry smiled "Go ahead and give me both" Nodding the goblin turned to the goblins "Alright, jobs done..you Gripshank! Take care of the seals" Turning around quickly he pricked Harry's finger who cringed.
"What the hell was that for!" He watched as he forcefully pinched a few drops of blood from his finger into a vile before handing it to his goblin lackey "For the blood ward" nodding the Goblins disappeared one by one as The head goblin led them back up to his office.
Once they were in the nice office again Ron blinked "Where did all those papers come from?" Grunting the goblin turned to them "That is everything currently in your new vault Mr. Potter, you may take them with you" Groaning Harry and Ron promptly shrunk them down and transfigured two small suitcases from the goblins pens to stack them in. Stuffing them in his pockets Harry sighed "About removing my money by other means..."
The goblin nodded before sitting down at his desk "You have two options, you can use a bottomless money bag, or a safe for your own home, it's a miniature gringotts vault that you can remove anything from your vault by...you will simply have to re-enlarge them. Blinking he turned to Ron "What do you think?"
Sighing Ron thought closely "Should go with the money bag" Nodding Harry turned back to the goblin "Money bag it is then"
Pulling a small bag from his desk he held it towards harry "Simply place your hand inside, and state your vault number. Since your finger is already pricked just make sure you let a drop inside" Nodding Harry stuffed his hand into the bag which strangely enough he felt no bottom,just emptiness. squeezing his finger with his others he saw the bag glow red and took that as a good sign "Vault 245" The bag glowed green before going back to its tan color, the emptiness though was replaced by the feel of gold Galleons.
Smiling Harry pulled his hand from the bag before pocketing it "So i'm the only one that can use this?" After receiving a nod he smiled "Thank you very much, I'll be going" Leaving the room with Ron they promptly made there way out of the bank.
Ron grinned looking at Harry "You are bloody rich!" Grinning Harry shrugged "Well then Ron, why don't we treat are selves to some stuff then?" The two of them blew Many galleons on things from Quality Quidditch Supplies, the Apothecary, Stationers, and a few cauldrons. Groaning Ron shook his head "Why are we buying so much potions stuff?"
Smiling Harry shrugged "Well with everything thats been happening it could be useful to have some potions to help wounds..You know?" Ron nodded his agreement with a sigh
"still...i hate potions!' at Harry's smirk he could do nothing but glare "Ugh..oh well, where to-Hey! Harry i have a good idea" He smirked pointing to a wizarding real estate company. "Maybe we should get a new place...i mean grimmauld place it has all those memory's."
harry blinked but nodded "can't hurt to check it out" Walking into the small offices they were instantly greeted by a man recognizing the scar.
"Oh Mr. Potter! Welcome welcome, are you interested in buying some property." Smiling Harry looked around for a moment before shrugging
"I may be, might as well see what you have to offer, and don't show me any of those cheap little places either" Nodding happily the man quickly rushed to his desk grabbing a binder "Right, right. Only the best for Lord Potter after all" They both grinned, they were considered royalty almost...well Harry was, but Ron was used to being the sidekick by now.
They flipped through the pages rather idly before something caught his eye. Harry blinked as he stared at a picture of a rather large manor standing strong on a small cliff, which seemed to be looking over a decent sized village "What's this place?"
The sales representative grinned slightly as he saw what he was looking at "Oh! You really do want an expensive one don't you? Thats the old seastra Manor"
Blinking Ron looked closely at it "You mean the powerful Wizard family that that the first hit by Voldemort" They watched as he cringed at the name "Y-yes thats them...very nice place, to the muggles below it just looks like a worn down, about to fall apart manor."
Looking at Ron he smiled slightly "Well...what do you say Ron? Should we get it?" he chuckled slightly, even though it had mostly been to kill time at first he was actually interested..why not have a manor? Revive the Potter name. Ron nodded slightly obviously liking what he saw "Well how much is it?"
Smiling slightly he shook his head "Well, It's approximately a Billion Galleons, Are you sure you can afford it Mr. Potter" Ron and Harry looked at each other in shock..they had never heard such a great amount of cash, but they were both sure it wouldn't do much more the dent Harry's accumulated fortune.
Thinking it over for a moment Harry nodded "Right, I'll take it" There attendant almost died in joy "Wonderful! Please, come come we'll take care of everything!" it was an hour before they left the agency, having taken so long in extracting the huge sum of money from his bag, and finally with a bit extra he promised they could move in the next day, but Harry mostly just wanted to take care of furnishing it starting tomorrow.
"I can't believe you just bought that harry! This is great! We could start are own order" Chuckling Harry nodded "we could...now I'll meet you at the Leaky cauldron Ron, i have one more thing to take care of" Nodding suspiciously Ron left him.
Smiling he headed into one of the small jewelry stores looking around slightly "Hm..." After some help from a sales lady he dished out more Galleons, leaving the shop with a small bag and a happy grin.
When Harry walked into the Leaky cauldron the others were already sitting at a large table talking about things they bought, and showing some off. By Harry's request Ron wasn't to mention the new place.
Jumping up Luna waved Happily "Hey Harry over here!" Harry smiled slipping into the end seat next to Ron "Hey guys, have fun shopping" They all nodded quickly and Luna had a dreamy look again "Ron said you guys made a big purchase, what was it? An exotic animal! Maybe a Crumple-Horned Snorkack!"
Blinking Harry shook his head "It's nothing, don't worry, ill show you guys in a few days" They pestered him for a moment but finally gave up when they left back into Diagon ally to aparate back to Grimmauld place.
