A/N Thank you all for the reviews. Harry Potter is not mine, this is a story from a fan.
C57 What do we have now.
Andrea was looking at Harry who was talking to Griphook about Obby end Inky. She knew that they had to find the little house elves but didn't know how. Still, it was a thing they could do later in the week. The first thing they needed was a house to live in. There was no way she would go back to her little apartment in little whinging. "Bogrod" she started. "I do love your hospitality but I would like to know where we could live and you told me you knew something".
Bogrod nodded and took a box out of his draw. Harry appeared next to him and looked into the draw. His little eyes were following his hand as he looked with one eye to the knife that was still there. "Harry, that was just a joke I would never hurt your mum".
Harry gave a sharp nod but didn't look away until the draw was closed again.
Bogrod shook his head and gazed back at Andrea. First I want you to put on the house ring of the Potter family. Andrea took the ring and placed it on her finger. Everyone was looking at it as it resized itself to fit her finger.
As you know the Potters are rich. not stinking rich but they are well off. So if you live cheap you could go without working. If you want to live a bit more luxurious, you have to work for it.
Andrea smiled and said that she didn't have to work. the muggle world was much cheaper than the wizarding world so one Galleon would give much more in British pounds. And Gringotts could exchange them for her.
Bogrod smiled, "Yes we could do that and if you help us we could even get muggle stuff and sell it here in the wizarding world. But no one would buy it from a Goblin".
"Well, I would and a wizard would from me. So I could run your store, telling it is mine" Alex told them.
Bogrod looked up and smiled, "Wizards would not like it if squibs were running stores in the Diagon alley".
"No, but they don't care about Hogsmeade. If we put more stores there and ward it against inside magic we could let it run by squibs who want to remain here" Alex told them with a smile that even scared Bogrod a little.
Harry stepped up to Alex and patted his hand. "what is it Harry" he asked.
"Can we play with trains when you have a store here".
Alex smiled and shook his head. "No, Harry, my trains don't work here because we can't use electricity around magic".
"It can run on a battery. Lily ones told me she could make the runes for it to make it run on magic. She even showed it to me. It was in one of her journals" Andrea told them.
"Mum we can make a training run," Harry asked.
Andrea smiled "we can make everything that uses a battery run with those runes. We could even begin a toy store" she smiled back as she saw the eyes of Harry light up.
"I would like to run that," Alex told her.
Bogrod cut in, "Well, we will talk about that a little later. Now, however, it is time to show you your home. But before that, I want to take you to the Potter vault. I was good friends with the Potters and they made me a true friend who has the right to go into the Potter mansion. When we have been to the vault I will take you there my self. There are still some papers to talk about, but Harriet and I will come by to talk about that while Griphook and Harry can play with the trains" Bogrod told them as he looked over at Alex.
Harriet stepped next to Andrea and Silvia. "Don't let him fool you, he is the one who wants to play with the trains. I will be the one who has to explain the papers to you". Harriet told them as she looked up to the ceiling with a dramatic play of Drama.
Minerva who had been sitting with Augusta at the side just looked at it all. "Really Gus," she started. "I always thought the Goblins were creatures who would kill you if you just looked at them in the wrong way. So those two are going around the bend or we were afraid of nothing".
Bogrod turned to Minerva with the same knife he had before. He was cleaning his fingernails with it as he said. "We are Miss McGonagall. But with friends, we are just as crazy as you".
Minerva changed into her cat form and hissed at Bogrod as she clawed at the air.
Tonks was rolling over the ground from laughing as she saw her favourite Professor pranking Bogrod. While he was looking shocked at Minerva.

While Andrea was told about the Potters Home. Albus was standing next to Croaker in the middle of the Wizengamot chamber. The first to stand trial was Lucius Malfoy. Croaker took charge and said that it would go fast today. They would be questioned under Veritaserum and after it, there would be a verdict that would be executed on the spot.
Slowly they went through all the Death Eaters and were shocked by what they heard. Not only did they do it all willingly, but they were still murdering people left and right. Lucius was even raping little girls in muggle parks before he would kill them. Lord Grabb had built a torture chamber where he could abuse muggles as much as he wanted.
The real shock came when they got Lord Parkinson in the chair. he told them that his wife was helping him getting Muggle man to his home. She was a beautiful witch and could seduce a man to come along. In his home, she would rape them as he would torture them after it. they would keep them alive for weeks and then kill them slowly.
It was then that all the Aurors were sent to the homes of the Death Eaters and arrest their wives for questioning. to their relive it was only Lady Parkinson that was joining in the what she called fun. Some of the wives knew of it and didn't say anything, while others were oblivious of the things their husbands were doing.
Sirius who had stuck around was surprised when Narcissa dropped to her knees in front of him. "Sirius, I never knew and I never wanted a part of it. Your mum made the contract with Lord Malfoy for his son. I want out, I want a better life for me and Draco".
Sirius looked down at Narcissa and Nodded. "If you are found innocent then I will cancel the contract. I will even let you keep the money the blacks gave him because Lucius has already been kissed by a Dementor".
Narcissa was the last to be questioned and she had nothing to do with it all. She knew about a lot of things but she confessed to being scared because he would beat her if she would tell something to anyone.
It was decided that all the homes of the death eaters were searched for any kind of dark artefact. It was also decided that their money was reduced to fifty percent of what it was. The fifty percent they took would go to the victims of the war because it was clear they didn't earn it legally.
At the end of the day, they had gone through all the known Death Eaters that had claimed the imperious curse. They also went through their wives and still had a way to go. In the holding cells of the ministry were a lot of family members from the Death Eaters who still had to be questioned. in an office room that was turned into another cell complex were a lot of office members who were mentioned to also be involved. those were the people they would be questioning the next day.

It was an hour later that Bogrod walked through a gate and asked Andrea and Harry to follow him. as they walked down a path they saw a mansion that was three stories high. It was big enough for the whole family and they would have rooms left to fill. There were big rooms and a very big kitchen. There was a barn that was turned into a muggle playroom. There was even an tv and radio. In the corner stood a very big looking Battery that was immediately inspected by Bogrod. but he didn't see any runes.
Not long after Bogrod had given them a fast tour through the house. As they all sat down in the kitchen Andrea looked at Harry. "Son," she said and had to smile in delight when he looked at her. "We are going to live here and you can pick any one of the rooms here to be your room. Tomorrow we will go and find a school because you have to go to school".
"I don't want to go to school, you are my mum and teacher, I don't want another teacher".
The thing Andrea saw made her take Harry into her arms. The look he had was one of pure fear. she didn't know why but that look was clearly telling her that he felt betrayed. Like she had taken his puppy and ran with it. She held him close and turned to her mum as Harry mumbled into her neck. "Don't go, Mummy, don't go, green light mummy don't, go green light".
Silvia stepped up at her side and took Harry from her arms. Harry held out his arms to Andrea as he started to scream. "Mummy on't go, g-een ight g-een ight".

Sirius had stepped to the side and took Narcissa with him. her son Draco was standing next to her and looked at Sirius as he called him a blood traitor. Sirius looked down at the boy and scratched the back of his head. "Sorry, Serius. He is the son of Lucius and I was told that he would raise him. I had no say in it at all".
Sirius nodded and conjured a patch on the mouth of Draco. he went down to his knees and looked the boy in the eye. "I will tell you this. I'm Lord Black. you are from my house. that patch will remain there until you can behave. If you talk like that again you will get another patch on that mouth of yours". right after he said it he growled at him.
It was now at that moment that Draco wet himself. Sirius knew he was a little rough on the boy but he had to stop his behaviour right away. the last thing he wanted was a little nutcase that would start killing the animals around the house.
Albus looked at it and shook his head. "He is right Albus" Croaker told him. "I'm no fan of the way he does it but in this case, he has to. I even think he has to take him to Harry. Harry will show him another way of behaviour and this boy can only learn from it".
"Allen".
"No, Albus, You have lost your way. Not everybody can be saved. Draco is young and he can be saved from the dark way of thinking. Sirius isn't dark you saw it with Harry. He isn't dark whit Draco. a patch might not be a right way but in this case, it can't hurt. Draco has to learn that he ain't the big boy in the room".
Albus nodded as Croaker stepped up to Sirius. "Sirius" he started. I know that you are dying to get to Harry but I don't want you to stay in that house tonight". Sirius looked at him with a little doubt. "I'm not keeping you away from him, don't get me wrong. But you are going to have a lot of nightmares in the coming months. You will need a mind healer to help you through it. You will be screaming, cursing and what not. that is something Harry doesn't need to hear or see. So visit him during the day because I know you love him. but keep him safe at night".
Sirius stepped back and nodded at Croaker. "You are right. I will be at my own house at night". It was not long after that that Sirius left the ministry with Narcissa behind him. He went to Potter mansion. and walked into the door. As he walked into the hallway he froze as Narcissa placed a hand on her mouth. They could clearly hear Harry screaming.
"Don't go, Mummy, don't go, green light mummy don't, go green light".Mummy on't go, g-een ight g-een ight".
"He remembers" Narcissa said with pure terror in her voice.
"Mummy On't go g-een -ight. -Obby Inky. Mummy Mummy.
Harry was getting hysterical as his eyes were big in fear as he looked around himself. Silvia was holding him and just looked at him. He was clearly reliving the night Lilly and James were murdered by Voldemort. He was so afraid that Andrea would go to the green light and that she would be taken from him just like Lily was. "We have to find this Obby or Inky. I don't know where they are but if he can feel them they still have the bond. Those house elves will be going crazy because they will be feeling his distress but aren't allowed to get to their real master".
"DOBBY, get here now" Narcissa screamed from the doorway.
There was a little pop and a house elf stood next to Narcissa. He started with "Yes, Mistr" but he didn't get any further as his eyes found Harry.
"Dobby go to your master, now, you are free from us" and she threw him a handkerchief from her purse.
