Of course, of course, it was him, Harmony thought after hearing the answer to her questions. The objects in the room started shaking as her anger rises. The two men who had also been mad looked at her in shock. Her magick that she usually kept cloaked was slowly revealing itself in her anger.
The raw magick comes off in thick waves. It was the first time the two men felt her magical core. Her magick was warm and inviting, promising to protect those she cared about. It was powerful as they stared at her, but they were not overwhelmed. The goblins, on the other hand, were having trouble breathing and realized they did not want to be on the wrong side of this witch. She wasn't even seventeen, and they were having difficulty staying seated.
Sirius was unable to keep his animagus form with the magick coming of his goddaughter. The raw magick interfering with his own. As he shifts back, he looks at the girl in awe, as her face is twisted in righteous furry. He also can't believe that he never noticed she was gray. Not light, not dark, but gray entirely not leaning either way. It was very uncommon in Britain. He is knocked out of his stupor as the table begins to crack under the weight of her magick.
"Pup," he takes the sides of her face turning her towards him. "You must calm down."
"Dumbledore has used me. He kept me in the dark, used my money, and put me in a home where I am hated." Her voice even carried her magick causing all in the room to feel her pain, her sorrow, and her anger as if their own. It was so potent it could cause anyone who didn't care for her fall to her feet and do anything she wanted. And she didn't even realize it.
Slender but strong arms wrapped around her and pulled her small body against a safe, muscular chest. "We will fix it. You will never go back there, I promise." Remus says as he sniffs her scent, the werewolf in him needing to make sure this was his cub and that she was safe.
She takes a deep breath pulling the magick back in—all the other occupants in the room sigh in relief. After a moment, Adrat clears his throat. "Well, we will begin removing his influence from your accounts immediately." At that moment, he looked over to Sirius that had let go of Harmony. The black-haired man freezes when he realizes that he is in his human form. "Don't worry, Lord Black, we know you are innocent."
Everyone pauses and looks at the elder goblin. "How is that?" Harmony asks.
Remus is the one that speaks up first. "Is it the ritual?" He says, thinking back to when the two became Harmony's godfathers.
The goblin nods. "You two used our ritual room, using the old ways to become young Potter's godfathers. If Lord Black had done anything to put her in harm's way purposely or caused her harm knowingly, the Lord ring would reappear on the account manager desk, and a portion of his magick would have been taken." His eyes shift over to the girl. "Since neither has happened, we know he is innocent."
Whoa, Harmony thinks, "Wait, that means we have proof that you are innocent." Sirius looks down at the witch he sees as his daughter in surprise.
"We do" He was too shocked even to think.
Harmony turns to the goblins in thought. "I know we are asking you so much already, but is their anyway you can document anything that you find." She paused for a moment. "I want all proof of all the wrongs that have happened to my godfathers and me."
Everyone in the room turns to look at the girl in shock. "What are you thinking, Harmony?" Remus asks in shock.
She turns to the man, and he is shocked by the determination and anger in her eyes. "We have barely scratched the surface, and there are so many wrongs coming to light. I am going to make Dumbledore pay for thinking that a baby was a pawn that he could use. For the pain that not only I have gone through, but who knows how many others." She turns back to the goblins, "So will you be able to do it?"
The two creatures look at each other and smirk on their face before turning back to the three magicals. "We will happily put an end to Dumbledore's rein." Kognaff starts.
"He has caused us to be treated wrong for too long." Harmony smiles brightly at them making even the goblins blush slightly. Adrat clears his throat again. "Now, on to what we can do today. We will suspend any transactions that have not been approved by you and work on returning your money. That will take a while to track down and repossess, especially keeping the record. Next, the making sure that no one has access but you" He pulls out a piece of paper. "Just place your hand on this paper and push your magick into it."
Harmony looks confused, so Remus steps in. "Harmony was muggle raised and has been kept in the dark on basic practices. We will try to fill in her gaps, but we just learned of this within the last two weeks." The goblin gives the girl a sad look, but Harmony refuses to acknowledge the pity in his eyes.
"What will happen to the paper afterward?" The black-haired girl asks.
"It will be used so only someone with your magical signature can use your accounts." The goblin replies patiently.
"Okay, pup," Sirius says, getting her attention. "Look at your magic in yourself." Harmony closes her eyes and does as he says. Remus had taught her this in third year. She feels as the man places her hand on the paper. "Now that you see your core push the magick out to your fingertips then out your body." She focused. On what she was told to do, but it was harder than it seems. Harmony had never tried to make magick simply flow through her body. She did not understand how magick interacted with her physical being.
After a few moments, she was able to get it. She needs to learn how her magical essence interacts with her body. She opened her eyes and sighs. More stuff I don't know, she thinks.
"Okay, it will take two days at the least to sort through the contracts in a way that will not attract attention. So we will like you three to come back in that time. Will that be alright?" They all nod the three thinking about the many things they will need to be doing now that they have been given new information. "Okay, so the last thing we can do today is to check your family lineage and go over what you have."
With a snap of Adrat fingers, a green paper with a ceremonial dagger is placed on the table before Harmony. She knows what she is supposed to do without being told. "So, after we are done with this, what will happen to it?" This one was important to her cause, as she learned in the graveyard, blood is a powerful tool.
Kognaff answers this time. "In each vault, there is a file cabinet to keep transactions and any information pertaining to the client and client's family. It will be placed in there where only the client and his account manager has access." The girl narrows her eyes slightly. "All accounts managers have taken an oath so that they are not allowed to reveal information on their client unless given express permission."
This made Harmony feel slightly better. She picks up the dagger in her excellent hand, surprised by the weight. Moving her broken arm, which is feeling much better surprisingly after her outburst of magick earlier, and cuts the palm of her hand. Not even a flinch at the pain. She holds it over the paper and squeezes her hand.
One
Two
Three
Drops of blood fall on the page then a light glow appears. She opens her hand to find that the cut has healed, then she looks down, shocked. Small soft thuds are heard in the silence as many rings appear on the goblin's side of the table. The paper showed an intricate design of names connected going further and further back in time.
Adrat takes the paper to see if what was happening is right. There is no way one witch has so many houses. He looked, and his eyes widened when he saw it was right. Three of them have even been thought to be wiped out.
"Well, it seems you will have plenty to do in the next two days." The goblin chuckles. "Now, we will present the rings and what you get with them."

Harmony's head was spinning. S...She had money, not only that she was loaded. She also was a Lord or Lady, whatever that means, and she had seats on the Wizengamot. What else was hidden from her? She is just supposed to be Harmony regular old Harmony, nothing special about her.
"Now, I will leave it to your godfather's to explain most of this to you. We will be sending you a portfolio for each account on what the money had been spent on and where the investments have been placed. It will also include any businesses that are owned by any of the families." Adrat looks at all the rings sitting before him. "I am going to take your rings and turn them into a bracelet. It will make it where it is not obvious you have claimed your inheritance or what you have." There is a bright swirl of light, and all the other occupants in the room have to cover their eyes. Then instead of the seven boxes that sat at the table, there was one slightly bigger box.
The older goblin pushes it over to the girl. She looks at it for a moment then opens the box. It is a simple silver chain bracelet with a considerable blank circle charm. She touches it slightly and quickly pulls away at the sudden magic that had gone through her body.
There is a chuckle to the side of her, and she looks up at the black-haired man. "That would be the Lordship ring's magick you felt. You see, the Lordship rings protect one's mind from others."
She nods and takes the bracelet on her wrist, not surprised by the magick entering her system this time. "I believe that is all for today. We will," the older goblin pauses for a moment. "Take special care to make sure these issues are taken care of," Adrat says as he and Kognaff stand. Putting their left fist over their chest this time they speak. "Shall the gold flow from your enemy to you."
Harmony returns the gesture but says, "Shall your enemy never prosper." and the goblins leave the room.
Remus sighs now about some fun work. "Okay, you two, we are going to have to go somewhere. Potter manor will probably be best. No one will expect to look for you there. We will leave the fake you at your home."
"That place is not" Sirius quickly covers her mouth to stop her from speaking. The moves cause her to jump slightly that the two men now recognize for what it is now.
"I understand how you feel about that place, but you can not verbally or outwardly acknowledge that yet." He removes his hand from her face.
"I don't understand." She says, looking at the two men in confusion.
Remus rubs his face with his hand. "Magick is funny like that. The moment you acknowledge that truth the magick that protects that house will fall. Dumbledore will know, and we are not in a position to keep you out of his hand at the moment." He looks intensely and this wonderful girl he has the pleasure of calling his own. "We need to keep everything quiet at the moment. The moment the wards fall, everyone will be looking for you."
"I understand" She nods her head in agreement.
"Okay, now you two are going to go to Potter manor and work on some wandless magick and just general knowledge. I am going to be taking Harmony's wand to be fixed. While picking up a few things." Remus continues.
The girl hands over her wand. "What is wrong with it."
"I'll explain when I get back." With that, the three split up. Remus goes down the alley, and Sirius, while a dog, apparating Harmony under her cloak once outside the bank.
