Chapter 12: Back to the Bank

Note: This is a short and to the point chapter, it seems that everyone was tired of goblins and banks lolz. So yea this is short then the last few chapters and I am sorry for that. I also will not have as much time to write, but hopefully I can work something out because I got a summer job :) woo hoo! but I will see about writing during my free time when I have some. I hope that this chapter answers some of the question you had, but sorry about not going into detail, I wanted to, but the characters where done with everything and would not let me write . bad characters. Anyway if you do have question on things I accidentally left out, ask them either at my email or in the comments and I will try to answer them!

I awoke in stages, first there was just feeling. My body felt lighter, almost free; a sort of peace I haven't felt in a long time. I felt the subtle shifts in the blankets. Next was sounds, I heard a rhythmic breathing that did not belong to me. Finally, I was able to open my eyes. The first thing I noticed is that we are no longer at the bank, but instead back at the manor and I was back in my room.

I shifted my head to the side, to see Draco sprawled out in bed next to me. His pale blonde hair was creating a halo around his head, it was cute to see, along with how relaxed his face was, compared to when he was awake, he looked like the teen he is instead of the adult he acted like when awake. He was beautiful, and I could just stare at him all morning, worshiping his beauty. I felt like an ant compared to his sculpted body, his pale skin like marble and his well define muscles that of a true art work.

I couldn't help myself at this point, my hand reached over unconsciously and started to trace one of his biceps slowly letting my fingers glide over his cool silky skin; I was just mesmerized by his beauty.

"Mmmmh. This is a wonderful way to wake up." Draco's raspy voice startled me from my exploration. I pulled away in haste with a flaming blush upon my cheeks, but Draco quickly snaked an arm around my waste before pulling me back firmly against him.

I let out a whine, both from embarrassment and from my submissive side loving the attention our Dom was showing us. So, I opted to bury my face into Draco's shoulder, so he couldn't see how red my face was, and just be content to be held close to Draco's firm body. Draco just chuckled and slowly ran his hand up and down my back, it took a little willpower to not arch into those trailing fingers and mew in pleasure; but it didn't stop the soft purring that erupted from my throat.

We stayed like that for a while enjoying the contact and the comfort we provided each other. I propped my chin on his shoulder trailing my fingers over Draco's chest just enjoying the moment, "Draco?" I asked pausing my fingers with a sigh.

"Humm?" Draco hummed in question, his hand stopped stroking my back but didn't leave; keeping me in his warm embrace still.

"What happened after the cleansing bath?" I asked. I didn't have much memory of what had happened after I felt Draco lift my aching body from the pool.

Draco sighed, and slowly maneuvered us to where we were laying on our sides facing each other; legs entangling around each other, and the sheets.

"There was a lot more removed than what we thought would happen. So it took more time and power then what should really have been used in one sitting. I wasn't willing to let my sub be there any longer when I knew he needed attention and rest. My Veela was in control by that point, only leaving enough room to communicate that we were leaving to the head goblin. They seemed to understand and gave us today to come back to discuss what happened, and the results of what was cleansed, as well as to visit one or all the vaults today. Depending how you feel, and how well our instincts can hold up after yesterday." Draco paused, "yesterday was a taxing day for our instincts so do not be surprised if you feel the need to have contact with me or if I start being possessive over you. Please just let it happen, my Dom is going to be unhappy with me for allowing you out of bed so soon."

I wanted to argue, that I wasn't a possession that can be claimed as such, but as soon as I opened my mouth I found I couldn't. my Sub side purring at the attention and the admission of what Draco said, and loved the idea that we belong to him. For now, I was just content in laying in his arms, the warm embrace and peace that he had to offer; I would not let worry set in till we had to.

* * * * Magical Page Break * * * *

It was late in the day when the Malfoy family and I made our trip back to the bank. Draco held me captive in bed for most of the day; having the house elves bring everything to my room for the day. It was then in the afternoon his Dom side subsided a little allowing us to leave the bed and then the house.

I stayed as close to Draco's side as possible, as we walked back into the bank, practically clinging to him. We were led once again down the winding corridors of the bank to Ragnok's office, the small goblin knocked then entered the office.

"Lord Malfoy, Heir Malfoy, Lord Potter-Black," Ragnok said dismissing the other goblin and waved us to sit down, "thank you for being able to come back to the bank today. We hope that you recovered well Lord Potter-Black since the ritual took longer than what we expected."

My eyes were drawn to a large rolled up scroll sitting clearly in the middle of the big desk. I gulped, hoping against all odds that was not what I thought it was. The older goblin sighed a big sigh and took to pinching his nose as if fighting off a headache, "after discussing with the healers, and seeing the results of the ritual, we are upset with both our own laws as well those in the wizarding world. Lord Potter-Black, I hope that you can forgive us, in not trying all we could to get in contact with you when it was realized about the falsified documents and not keeping a closer eye on the accounting goblins. The wizarding world also needs to give you apologies for not checking the true guardianship."

I felt my eyes tear up. I really didn't like where this was going at all. I clutched Draco's hand tighter, wanting nothing more than the goblin to rip the band-aid off and tell us what had happened.

Ragnok, picked up the large scroll, "this by far is the worst cleansing we have done, we cleansed a ton of different potions and spells that have been administered to Lord Potter-Black since he was but a baby. They are all ranging from just simple controlling spells, to more complex boarder-line dark. There were also magic blockers, different love potions, skill blockers, limiting blockers, compulsion spells, and so much more we found. I am sad to report for the potions, we are unable to give exactly who administered them, only dates, and for the spells, some of them are so old the magical signature is mostly faded, but most of them we are able to track to three different people; Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Molly Weasley née Prewitt, and Tom Marvolo Riddle.

While most of the spells where cast by Dumbledore and Weasley. Riddle's was by far the darkest spell."

I was in shock to hear that Mrs. Weasley was one of the people casting spells on me, but Tom? I've only faced him a few times, but I don't recall getting hit by a spell from him. It was then my hand flew up to my scar.

Ragnok nodded his head. "The night he killed Lily Potter and then turned his wand to you Harry, was the night he made a Horcrux. Now I have no clue if he was meaning too or not, but it latched on to the closest thing it could and that was you Lord Potter-Black. We were not able to cleanse it in the bath, since it requires a more complex ritual, but if you would like us to do so, we will do it free of charge. It is something that should not be made, such dark practices; but we also cannot ensure your health afterwards. Since there's never been an account on a human Horcrux."

I whimpered, not liking this conversation at all. Draco pulled me out of my chair and into his lap.

"There was one other thing that was not able to be cleansed, and that was Basilisk venom mixed with phoenix tears. It's not hurting you, and if we try to remove them something will go wrong since they are being kept in check with each other." The goblin paused for a moment, "I would like to send this to your ministry for charges pressed against those involved with the spells and potions. So that we can keep Dumbledore away from other kids; we are also going through to see if he was put in charge of other accounts without their knowledge and get in contact with the account owners that way." The goblin explained his plans to us.

"Thank you Ragnok, I know you have the best interest at heart for your clients, we are building a case against those who have wronged Harry and we hope with you backing us up we can ensure that he is safe with us." Mr. Malfoy explained giving the goblin a bow in respect for his plans.

"Of course, Lord Malfoy it is in our best interest to ensure that our customers are provided the best service and we have sorely neglected it in Lord Potter-Black's case. We also do not take kindly to people trying to hurt the young; be it other races besides our own. We treasure the young knowing they are our future."

"Of course, Ragnok, if it is okay I think it is best we go home for today, the vaults will wait until after the first week of schooling, to give time for the boys to process what happened today; heal and relax." Mr. Malfoy said looking over at me and Draco cuddled together, finding comfort and healing between us.

We were given the okay for coming back later. I was most grateful for that, since I did not think I could handle anymore bombshells being dropped on me. Now the real question was if we were able to get permission to leave Hogwarts when Dumbledore found out what I had done.
