A quick note on how tickled I am that a fanfiction veteran like Sakura Lisel has taken an interest in my little ol piece of fiction. They (I don't assume pronouns) asked how the elderly wizard in the previous chapter recognized Harry when I clearly stated he disappeared immediately after the blast so no one knew about he scar. and I have a semi simple answer.
Harry, James And Lilly's pictures if any survived would have undoubtedly been blasted all over wizarding media and in any books written about the topic. Especially soon before Harry would be of age to start his magical education. So when a wizard who had possibly seen a miniature James Potter (as the books say he is practically a carbon copy of James but with Lilly's eyes) he connects 2 and 2 together after a double take. And "Bless my soul. It's Harry Potter! He's come back to us!"
Chapter 14: Vaults, Wands and Lunch
"Mr Harry Goetia Wishes to make a withdrawal from his accounts.
An eye widened at the name Goetia and the one eyed goblin looked down from his desk to see a 10 year old trying to look confident.
"I was not aware the Goetia line had an account with Gringotts." The Goblin declared going through some papers hurriedly looking for information.
"My former last name was Potter."
"Wait here I must get my supervisor."
"What are they Professor?"
"Goblins Mr. Goetia. A very distant cousin of Imps which is why they seem so familiar to you. Very clever creatures whose armor and weapons are renowned the world over."
"I am Griphook. Am I understand Mr. Harry Potter has returned to claim his vaults?"
"Harry Goetia now but yes I have come to claim what is rightfully mine." Harry told the new goblin.
"We will have to verify your identity. Just Use this quill to sign your name on this Lineage document." Griphook handed Harry a piece of paper with one word Lineage written in fine cursive at the top.
Harry looked to Professor Snape. His Papa has always warmed him against signing his name and especially giving his blood away Willy nilly.
"Goblins are against all manner of theft and despite their sadistic nature are amongst the most honest businessmen in the world who will never lie to you." Snape told Harry.
Harry nodded then signed his name, gasping as it appeared on his hand and the Ink coming out was red and shiny, like blood.
The paper suddenly started writing
Harry Rameses Goetia (Born Harry James Potter
Parents
Blitzo Goetia (Imp)
Stolas Goetia (Goetian Owl)
SatanParents
Moxie (Imp) (Satanfather)
Millie (Imp) (Satanmother)
Birth Parents
Lily Potter nee Evans (Birth Mother)
James Charlus Potter (Birth Father)
Sirius Orion Black (Godfather)
"Who is Siri-"
"Another time." Severus said before the goblin asked for the paper back.
"This will go in our files for safekeeping. No one shall be able to access it but you or your family Solicitor with good reason." Griphook reassures the confused boy. "I shall show you to your vaults. If you would follow me."
As they exited Gringotts, Harry sported a new charge card in his wallet and had some rare jewels to present to Papa Stolas as a gift and his own father to help fund IMP. Just one of these would fund IMP for the next 5 years on slow days and Harry had tons of them in his trust vault. But as he left a nagging question stood at the back of his mind.
Who was Sirius Black?
They met Lucius Malfoy at Florian Fortescues Ice Cream Parlor at 11:30 am. Harry stood in awe at the window filled with ice cream flavors he'd never heard of. (Most ice cream in Hell had insects or meat in it.) Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Raspberry, Lemon Meringue, Peanut Butter cup and about a thousand more flavors.
"Wow." Harry said.
"You've never seen Ice Cream before?" A boy with Lucius' silver hair asked.
"Most Ice Cream where I'm from has bugs or meat in it." Harry said. "I've never seen sweet ice cream before."
"Mr. Goetia this is my son Draco." Lucius said Putin a cautioning Hans on Draco's shoulder letting him know to tread carefully. "Should you be sorted into Slytherin house he will also be your dormmate."
"Sorting? Slytherin?" Harry asked simple one word questions.
The adults guided the children into Fortescues where they explained the house system to Harry.
"Professor Snape is head of Slytherin House." Lucius explained.
The adults went to order food and brought the boys drinks. They got a table to themselves.
"Where have you been all this time?" Draco asked as the two boys sipped on sodas.
"I was raised by an imp and Goetian Owl in Hell. Harry said casually as Draco's jaw popped open.
"Hell is real?" Draco asked
"Oh yes it's definitely real and the worst of the worst go there." Harry said. "But the Hellborn are actually very kind people. Mostly." Harry said. "My dad said he found me in a box like an abandoned kitten outside his apartment building in Imp City. We lived there for like a year before he married Papa and we moved into the Palace.
"You live in a palace?"
"Papa Stolas is the Prince of the Pride Circle." Harry explained. "There are 7 Princes for 7 rings."
Harry then launched into an explanation of the hierarchy of Hell where Lord Lucifer was at the top. The Princes follow, the Overlords after them, Controllers of Territory, Sinners.
"And unfortunately Hellborn such as Imps and Hellhounds are the lowest tier of citizen. Which I don't know why considering most of Hell's food comes from Imp owned farms. It's also odd because Sinners can't leave the Pride Circle. But forget about me what's life on the surface like? Is it always overcast like this? What's your life like at home?"
Draco has been amazed at the simple questions Harry had about the surface world.
"Really Seventy Percent Water? The only ocean I'm really aware of in Hell is in the Envy circle but Dad won't take me there because he's worried about what would happen if my imp disguise would fail outside the Pride circle. There's reservoirs all over the seven circles and Natural lakes but for some reason no oceans in the upper circles. We do have fish markets in the upper circles though."
"Mr. Goetia we should go to purchase your wand now." Severus said as they purchased ice cream cones for the children. (Harry chose strawberry cheesecake.)
"We have to get Draco's wand too." Lucius said. "Ahh there's Narcissa."
"Narcissa." Lucius said. "This is Mr. Harry Goetia."
"Goetia..." The older woman's eyes widened. "Lucius, a word please. Good to see you Severus would you see Draco to Ollivanders please?"
"Of course.."
"Lucius do you know who that boy is?"
"Of course I do Cissy but he goes by Goetia now."
"Blast the Potter name do you KNOW who the Goetia name belongs to?!"
"Enlighten me."
"His father is Prince Stolas you blithering idiot."
Lucius was visibly confused. "But Prince Stolas is a demon who blessed your family line right? Doesn't he reside in Hell?"
"I have no idea how Potter found the name Goetia. Did you get any information of that kind from him?"
"His father is an assassin that's all I'm aware of at the moment. Though he did describe Borgin and Burkes as a wonderful shop."
"How did he get into Borgin and Burkes?"
"He literally flooed right into the shop." Lucius said. "Right in front of me. I half considered abducting him to sell for potion ingredients before I got a clear look at him."
Severus confirmed the boys story to the two. Prince Stolas actually rose up from a portal with an imp who had a muggle shotgun.
"You will not destroy this opportunity for Draco." Severus said.
The adults joined the waiting children inside.
"I wondered when I'd be seeing you Mister Goetia." The man said cryptically.
Grasping his flintlock Harry got in front of his new friend protectively. "How do you know that name?"
"I had the high honor of using one of your fathers feathers for one of my wand cores a few decades ago. Unfortunately it's not been sold since." Ollivander went looking for wands. "Your mothers wand was made of willow. Nice and swishy, excellent for charm work."
"She was quite excellent with charms." Severus said.
"Your father on the other hand favored a mahogany wand. Springy and More suited for transfiguration. From what i understood at the time Professor Mcgonagall was looking for James Potter to replace her as the Transfiguration Master at Hogwarts."
Severus shuddered at the thought.
"Narcissa Black. Yew, Unicorn Tail hair core yes?"
"Your memory is as impeccable as always Mr. Ollivander."
"Lucius Malfoy, Ebony And Dragon Heartstring. Pliable and excellent at curses and jinxes."
"Ironwood And Dragon Heartstring young Mr. Malfoy." Ollivander said presenting Draco with a wand. "Sturdy. Excellent for dueling."
Green sparks came out from Draco's wand.
Lucius And Narcissa both clapped for their child. A wand like that would make for an excellent career as a pro duelist.
"Tricky customer eh?" Ollivander said. "I wonder." He hadn't wanted to start with the wand as it would seem rather cliche but due to his circumstances..."Perhaps this."
He handed Harry a long and impressive looking wand.
"Saptaparni and Goetian Owl Feather."
"The Devils Tree." Harry whispered.
Harry took the wand and felt instant familial warmth as if he was giving his Papa Stolas a hug.
"Oh thank goodness I was hoping this little one would find its Master one day." Ollivander said in joy. "I'm sure Prince Stolas will be so proud."
After paying for the wands the group parted ways to finish their school shopping. Books, his cauldron and robes. The rest of the trip was rather uneventful.
"Thank you for escorting me Professor I look forward to Potions class." Harry said as Severus shrunk Harry's parcels for his bag.
"Have a safe journey Mr. Potter." Professor Snape said to the young wizard to be as the boy brought out a muggle cellphone looking device.
"Dad I'm ready to come home."
A portal opened up in front of Harry and he waved to Severus as he fell backwards.
Loona caught Harry. "Hi Loonie." Harry giggled.
Loona unceremoniously dumped Harry to the floor with him letting out an oof.
He was engulfed into a hug by Blitz. "How was the Living World? Did you get hurt? Where'd you go, who'd you see?"
"One question at a time Dad Christ on a stick."
Please leave a review!
I looked up some information on different woods and I figured what I have planned for Draco he needs a good strong wand and ironwoodis one of the densest tree woods out there that would actually sink in water.
Saptaparni is called The Devils Tree in India which is a very spiritual country so I figured it would pair well with a feather from Stolas.
