Gringotts- Part II

A/N- Hello everyone! Welcome to another chapter of 'Emerald and Amethyst'. Hope you all enjoy it.

PLEASE READ THE A/N AT THE BOTTOM. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!


"Ok, can we claim the Lordships? Can we see how much money has been taken out of the vaults by Dumbledore, or any of the Weasleys? Can these marriage contracts be annulled? Also, we need to cleanse ourselves." Harry asked after he had clamed down.

"One by one. First, each of you can claim your Lordships. You need to cross your wand over your chest and say- 'I [insert full name], by rite of magic and blood claim the Lordship of the House of [insert name of house]. So mote it be'." Goldaxe said.

Harry nodded and said- "I, Hadrian James Potter, by rite of magic and blood claim the Lordship of the House of Potter"

The Potter Griffin cried out and the Potter ring (red background with a Griffin roaring) appeared on Harry's middle finger.

"the House of Evans"

The Evans Thunderbird shrieked and the Evans ring (stormy grey background with a Thunderbird flying) appeared on Harry's middle finger and merged with the Potter ring.

"the House of Peverell"

The Peverell Thestral's hooves bounced around the office and the Peverell ring (pure black background with a Thestral galloping) appeared on Harry's middle finger and merged with the other two rings.

"the House of Gryffindor"

The famous Gryffindor Lion roared and the Gryffindor ring (blood-red background with a lion standing) appeared on Harry's middle finger and merged with the other rings.

"the House of Emrys"

The Emrys Phoenix trilled out and the Emrys ring (calm grey background with a storm phoenix flying) appeared on Harry's middle finger and merged with the other rings.

"the Heirship of the House of Black"

The Black Raven screeched and the Black Heir ring (Slytherin green background with a baby raven) appeared on his pinkie.

"Are the rings supposed to merge together?" Harry asked.

"Yes." was Goldaxe's answer.

"Which name will I give? My adopted name or my birth name?" Hermione asked. She still wasn't over the fact that two of the worst DeathEaters were her parents.

"If you want to claim both of the Lordships, then your birth name but that will change your name to Andromeda Bellatrix Lestrange in every document and it will be before long that Dumbledore finds it out. Your best bet is to claim the Lordship of the House of McKinnon and the heirship of the House of Lestrange. This way you will still have access to the estates and some of the money. You will need a Steward for the businesses and a Proxy for the Wizengamot because your parents are still alive. You are just taking control until they can." Goldaxe explained.

Hermione took a deep breath and said- "I, Hermione Jean Granger, by rite of magic and blood, claim the Lordship of the House of McKinnon"

The McKinnon Raccoon chittered and the McKinnon ring (pure white background with a Raccoon ready to fight) appeared on Hermione's middle finger.

"the Heirship of the House of Lestrange"

The Lestrange Occamy hissed and the Lestrange Heir ring (swirls of black and white as background with a baby Occamy looking upwards) appeared on Hermione's pinkie.

"I have a question. Why am I the one eligible to be Lord while I have five older brothers?" Ron asked.

"When your uncles died, the Lordship went over to Molly Weasley who married Arthur Weasley and had seven children. However, the Matriarch of the Prewett family- Muriel Prewett is still alive and the Prewett line is patriarchal. So, the Lordship is supposed to go to Bill Weasley. However, Muriel Prewett made you the heir to the House of Prewett when you were born. So, the Lordship passes on to you." Goldaxe said.

Ron asked- "wouldn't my mother tried to do something that would sabotage me becoming her heir?" He was shell-shocked that the grumpy, old, great-aunt Muriel made him the heir.

"Since Mauriel Prewett is the eldest family member and Dowager Lady of the House of Prewett, she doesn't need the permission to make you the heir."

"Ok. I, Ronald Bilius Weasley, by rite of magic and blood, claim the Lordship of the House of Prewett."

The Prewett Jackal howled and the Prewett ring (earthy color background with a Jackal prowling) appeared on Ron's middle finger.

"I, Severus Tobias Snape, by rite of magic and blood, claim the Lordship of the House of Prince"

The Prince Stag galloped and the Prince ring (bluish-red background with a Stag standing proudly) appeared on Severus' middle finger.

"Ok, now as you all have claimed the Lordships, you will be able to cancel the marriage contracts but the notifications will go instantly to both of the parties." Goldaxe explained.

Ron and Hermione looked aghast. Sure, they were friends but they didn't want to marry each other. They were like siblings for Merlin's sake!

"Couldn't you stop the owls from going?" Harry asked. He sure as hell didn't want to get saddled with a glory-digging bitch for the rest of his life.

"That is something you'll have to talk to Master Ragnok himself."

"Now, onto other matters. You all will be cleansed of the potions, spells and whatnot. Please follow me through the chamber." Goldaxe said standing up.

Almost instantly, three pairs of eyes were seeking out Harry. Harry nodded discreetly.


Hundreds of miles away, in the dreary prison of Azkaban, a woman with black hair and stormy grey eyes with a little hint of insanity felt the flux of magic when Hermione accepted the Heirship.

"My child is alive. My child is ALIVE! Did you feel it Rodo? Our child is alive!" The woman said excitedly and a bit crazily.

This woman's name was Bellatrix Lestrange.

A man two cells away smiled in fondness and said- "of course our child is alive Bella, after all you are her mother. She is strong."

But, deep inside he was very relieved. He had thought that Dumbledore had killed his precious Andromeda. Oh well, Bella was her mother. And she is a half-Black. It is in her nature to be strong.

This man's name was Rodolphus Lestrange.

A man, looking an identical copy of Rodolphus smiled softly as he heard his sister-in-law's delighted shrieks. His niece was alive. It gave him new hope to live.

This man's name was Rabastan Lestrange.


Hundreds of miles away, in a magnificent manor, a beautiful girl with glossy black hair and amethyst-golden eyes gasped slightly.

The man sitting beside her said- "what is it, Kira?"

'Kira' took a deep breath and said- "Harry has accepted the Black Heirship, father."

The man's eyes widened and almost whispered- "does that mean-"

'Kira' closed her eyes as if remembering painful memories.

"I'm not saying anything. And, it isn't final. It is but a thought and wishful thinking." 'Kira' said harshly.

"Go to your rooms, child. Sort out your memories." he said.

'Kira' nodded stiffly and with a swirl of her black cloak, she walked out.

"I pray to the Gods above that you didn't betray her, Harry Potter." the man said tiredly.

This man's names were- Tom Marvolo Riddle and The Dark Lord Voldemort.


'Kira' walked into her room and plunged into the pensieve.

It was time for a trip to the Memory Lane.

She smiled bitterly as a five-year-old Harry almost managed to impale himself with the dagger with which he was supposed to be practicing.

Half and hour later, after a damaged-beyond-repair room and watching all the memories, 'Kira' locked her masks back to place.

Grabbing her amulet close to her, she whispered- "what is going on, Harry?"


A/N- So, this is where things start to get interesting. Please read & review!

PS- I'm writing a novel. First chapter's almost finished. Because I'm writing both things at once, my fanfiction updates might be a bit late. But, don't worry. I won't abandon the story.

NOVEL TITLE- I Open At The Close

NOVEL SUMMARY- A sixteen-year-old Alessia White is sent back to the mortal world by Death himself because she has much more important things to do.
