Chapter 7: Rings and Things
December 2, 1979
Harry wakes at five a.m. And goes for his morning workout this will be a shorter run, after transfiguring his jeans and t-shirt into something more comfortable. He knows that today will be one of those days as he not only has to go to the bank but also shopping for some clothes even though he brought some with him in his trunk, The clothes from the year 2000 didn't go well with the clothes from 1979. After his 45-minute run he heads back in and lays out his clothes for the day, showers and heads down to fix his breakfast. Binks is already there and ask what's can I get for Master Harry, sir? Harry gets a bacon sandwich and a couple of eggs over easy; Arcturus comes in as Harry is eating and asks if he needs any company as he goes into Diagon Alley? Harry tells him that he is going to Gringott's to get his Lord Peverell ring although he already has the one from the future and then going to Harrod's to get some clothes. He doesn't anticipate any trouble because no one here knows who he is as of yet, he knew that was going to change and probably sooner than he wanted but he would make it work. Harry apparates right outside of the Three Broomsticks and heads up the street to the big marble building that was Gringott's Bank. Harry walks up to the open queue and asks to see the Potter Account manager Griphold, the goblin looks up and asks if he has an appointment and Harry says Griphold will be glad to see him, let him know that Lord Peverell, Heir Potter and Heir Black is here to see him. The goblin sneers at Harry and says you say three people want to see the Potter Account Manager two of which are not named Potter so what are you trying to pull? Harry sneers right back and says all three are me and Griphold nor Ragnok will like me to be kept waiting! The goblin's eyes rose and he says wait here and if you are lying you will not like shoveling dragonshit! Roughly two minutes later the goblin returns and ask Harry to follow him, he is led down the hall to a large gold-plated door that has a name plate above it that says Potter Account – Manager Griphold! Harry is escorted in and seeing the older goblin seated behind a huge ornate desk says may your gold grow and your enemies fear your blade and Griphold replies may your vaults overflow and the blood of your enemy's drip from your blade! How may I be of service to you today, Heir Potter? Harry asks Griphold who is the account manager for the Peverell account? Griphold scratches something on a piece of parchment that suddenly disappears and after a few seconds it reappears is a flash. Griphold tells Harry that the Peverell account has been dormant for so long it no longer had and account manager and it's vaults had been sealed til an heir came forth.
Harry asks Griphold if he could take over the Peverell account as he was in charge of the Potter accounts, Griphold states that Harry would have to redo the heir test to prove he is who he claims to be even though he was there when the lineage test was done. Harry thinks silently yea you just want the extra 5 galleons for the tests but when Griphold hands him the dagger he pricks his finger and lets 3 drops of blood fall to the parchment, in no time it started to read:
Name: Harry James Potter-Black
Father: James Charlus Potter
Mother: Lily Jade Potter: Nee Evans
Grandfather: Charlus James Potter
Grandmother: Dorothea Alsa Potter: Nee Black
Godfather: Sirius Orion Black thru Godfather ritual
Godmother: Alice Marie Longbottom, Nee: Davis thru Godmother ritual
Official titles:
Lord Peverell of Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Peverell by mother's line
Lord to be of Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter by father
Heir to be of Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Black chosen by Godfather
Future Lord of Unnamed Houses by Right of Conquest to be determined
Griphold opens a drawer in a cabinet that appears behind his desk and takes out a exquisite black box and sets it before Harry. Griphold opens the box and there is three rings on green velvet, a Lord's ring, Lady's ring and a Heir's ring, he asks Harry to place the Lords ring on his right middle finger and if the magic accepts him he will be Lord Peverell(again!). Harry slides the ring on his finger, there is a short glow and the ring sizes automatically to fit his finger and Griphold says welcome back to Magical Britain Lord Peverell! Griphold then reaches back into the cabinet and pulls out a thick set of files, he says these are the Peverell accounts are you sure you want me to handle them? Harry says it will be quicker and more efficient if you do and since all I need today is some galleons out of my vault, some converted to pounds I will wait for you to get acquainted with my holdings and areport from you. Griphold tells Harry that he will be issued a card that is directly tethered to his vaults and can be used in both the wizard and Mundane worlds, Harry accepts the card and asks Griphold one last thing, how long before the Ministry of Magic(MOM) will know of the Peverell Lordship being taken up? Griphold says most times it is automatic but he could delay it a few days but no more than two. Harry asks if he would do that and bid him a good day. Harry leaves the bank and goes to Twill Fitt and Tatting and orders two sets of the finest Acromantula Silk green and black robes with the Peverell Crest on the left breast, and a new pair of black dragonhide boots. Harry pays the two hundred and seventy-five galleons and the sales lady says they will be read in three hours. Harry wanders around Diagon Alley for a bit seeing it like it was when his mum and dad were going there, not much had changed he saw from when he was in Hogwarts. He was hoping to make better changes than those that happened during the war he fought! Harry goes to Quality Quidditch and does some window shopping and then to Fortescue's to get a hot chocolate while he waits. He eventually goes and picks up his new robes and shoes and wonders if Binks would come to him so he quietly calls BINKS and a second later Binks pops there and Harry tells him thanks for coming and would he take his purchase back to Black Manor? Binks tells Harry he will come whenever he is called and he is always happy to help! Harry smiles as Binks pops out of sight and he then apparates away himself to just outside of Harrods in an alley beside a parking garage. Harry makes sure no one is looking and he walks to Harrods and does some more shopping. He buys 3 pair of jeans, two pair of trainers, some work out gear with CHAMPION logo on the clothes. He then buys a couple of button-down shirts that were either black, blue or a hunter green and a t-shirt that had a spaceship with the word BOSTON above it. Harry wasn't sure what it meant but it looked good! He then apparated back to Black Manor and found a group of very angry Grandparents and Aunt and Uncle!
Flash back! 2 hours earlier!
Lord Black and Lord Potter were sitting in the Lord's Office at Black Manor talking about Harry, their newfound nephew and grandson and his unbelievable yet true story of time-travel. Thet were also talking about how easy he had taken down seven of the so-called dark lord's attack dogs with little effort. Meanwhile in the parlor Lady Black and Lady Potter were talking with their portrait selves from the future about Harry and what had happened to their families. The murders of James and Lily, the abuse that Harry had suffered, the sticking of Sirius in Azkaban without a trial or any evidence, the murders of Harry's wives', of Andromeda's husband and daughter, the pure evil that resided in a daughter of the family Black, Bellatrix, the manipulations of Dumbledore and of so many of the so called pure-bloods that bowed to a half-blood maniac! The ladies all agreed that they needed a plan to weed out the dark-wankers' minions, both physically and financially, starting with the people who funds most of these atrocities. The ladies know that without gold then all that is left is lies and evil men! Lady Potter nee Dorea Black knows how to play that game, as she was taught from birth to never let someone sit above the Black family, and it was time to show what she had learned in spades!
It was at this time that a low powered gong sounded throughout Black Manor which let them know that a letter had arrived through private Gringott's mail delivery. It was an expensive but necessary box allowed official mail to be taken to Gringott's and be delivered to its recipients without anyone being allowed to their home through apparition or the floo network. This very secure and the safety of Melania and Dorea was always at the front of Charlus and Arcturus's minds. It was this letter from the Ministry of Magic that had set off the ruckus that was going on in the home.
Lord Black is irate, what the hell do they mean that no charges will be filed and that they were all found innocent by a by a claiming they were under the imperious spell? Why were we not called as witnesses or at least let know a trial was happening? Dorea tries to calm her brother down and she point blank tells him that this smells of Lord's Selwyn and Malfoy's spreading their gold around to keep their friends out of Azkaban. Arcturus says that Minister Bagnold will have a very interesting Wizengamot meeting next Tuesday! Harry walks is and asks what happened?
End of flashback!
