Future Unfolding
Summary: Harry's figured out about magic at a young age. Watch as his life changes and he sees it all. Not traditional Harry. A.U.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter characters. If I did there was no way they would ever be popular and famous.
Switchkey and Harry started heading out into the main room. "Would you prefer having one of the other Goblins take you down to your vault or should I accompany you?" asked Switchkey.
Leaving non room for argument Harry stated "It would be best if you took me. The less people knowing I am here the better." There was no way Harry wanted anyone else knowing. To tell the truth he would have preferred no one at all knowing. That just wasn't going to happen though, Switchkey was necessary.
The two then started heading down a narrow stone passageway. There were flaming torches hanging from the walls. The colors went every other blue and white. The passageway sloped downwards steeply. What looked like tracks of some kind went along the path.
After only a bit of walking they came to a cart. The cart itself was rather large. Harry assumed that some bank goers were on the large side or they took out a large quantity of things. Holding the door open for him in a way that seemed he was required to Switchkey gestured him inside.
As they sped through the passageways Switchkey handed Harry something. It was the key to his vault. "The one held by Dumbledore will be retrieved within the next couple of days." said Switchkey. "In my personal opinion it should never have been placed in his hands to begin with."
The air around them was rushing past. The feeling was simply exhilarating. His eyes could have been playing tricks on him but Harry was almost certain he had seen something large and green if only for an instant. Long pointed stalagmites and stalactites were everywhere.
Finally the cart was coming to a stop. It had startled Harry at the beginning that the cart did not need to be steered. He was used to it now and hoped all of the magic world would be this easy to adjust to.
Harry took his key and went up to the door of his vault. Opening the door a great sight met his eyes. There were mountains of gold, silver, and bronze coins all around and that wasn't all either. "Your parents placed some of the items from the family vault into your vault. They picked mostly thing they thought you could make use of before you got it all at your coming of age." said Switckkey.
There were quite a few pieces of jewelry in the room. Some were made for males and some for females. This did not really interest Harry much. He did choose one basically plain silver ring though. It might have some sort of use later on. You never could tell what could be useful.
He asked Switchkey if he could tell anything magical or special about the ring. He replied that it wasn't something he had ever studied or needed to know. His magical knowledge lay elsewhere.
Other things in the room varied. There were some different styles of clothing here and there. Most looked like it would fit him between the ages six to sixteen. In one corner were three fine looking trunks. They all came with their own fairly long instructions.
There were only about half a dozen books. They all seemed much older and worn than what Harry was used to. The library had some fairly old books but some of these seemed to be hundreds of years older than them. "Many books were left in the family vault or one of the three family homes" said Switchkey when he saw Harry's slight look of disappointment.
The first thing Harry decided was to choose a trunk to store what he picked out of the vault. The smallest looking one looked the most interesting. It was such a dark brown you had to look very closely to distinguish it from black. The handles were silver inlaid delicately with a few rubies.
The special magic features were really convenient as well. When opening the trunk normally you got a regular nonspecial trunk. If you turned the handle sideways a whole new trunk space twice as big appeared upon opening the trunk. Last if you turned the handle completely upside-down and pushed in there was a whole room with a desk and a wardrobe inside the trunk.
This room was already stored for a person. It was a complete disaster area though. Either his mother or father or some other ancestor had used it and were complete slobs. After taking about ten minutes or so dumping what seemed was mess he kept a few things in the trunk.
One of the two invisibility cloaks hanging on the chair of the desk went in the wardrobe. He could not use it in the alley today because he planned to purchase things. Buying things from people who can not see you would not work very well at all. He could most definitely use it later though.
The jewels he found in the back of the desk he left alone. They could come in handy at some point. There were a few books scattered across the floor. He set them on the desk along with the ones he had found in the vault earlier.
The clothing he took from the vault was limited. He wore one outfit that seemed most closely related to the clothes he had seen the people outside wearing. Another he placed in the wardrobe with the cloak. He had been planning on buying new clothes while out today.
The money he took from the vault he put in the second space in the trunk. Harry also placed a more than necessary amount in a pouch on his hip. "If anyone who is not you or immediate family of, which you have none, touch this they will be paralyzed a covered in a horrible rash. It will still recognize you under polyjuice potion or if you someday become one during the animagious transformed state.
Not seeing anything else he desired to take with him Harry decided to leave. Now Switchkey handed a portkey to his new estate and one back to Gringotts to Harry. "Be proud only the heads of the five richest families in the wizarding word are given one of these." said Switchkey.
Harry decided to still get a room in Marshy inn he would only be able to do a little of the necessary shopping today. It was late afternoon. The time spent in Gringotts hadn't really been noticeable. A glamour potion was still first on the list. With that in mind Harry headed out to Diagon Alley.
A.N.
Sorry it's still not longer. I try hard to make it this long. I am a terribly impatient kind of person.
Keep reviewing and send any suggestion you have they might inspire me to be able to write longer chapters.
