Harry, Severus, and Remus talked for a few more hours that night, just getting used to each other. Harry had asked about Remus's and Severus's first mating and how it felt going from enemies in school to mates seemingly over night. Severus ignored the bitter feeling of disappointment when he realized Harry didn't remember him telling the story already, so he let Remus tell most of the story.

After feeling more comfortable with Remus and Severus, Harry became more open about his thoughts and feelings. He wanted to continue talking with his mates, but they had more than just that night and remembering that they needed to go to Gringotts in the morning, Harry called it a night. He was pleasantly surprised when Remus and Severus walked him to his room, as if they were walking him home after a first date. Harry just hoped that was all they did, and it seemed his thoughts were obvious.

"Don't worry, we're just here to say goodnight," Remus said. He brushed his hand over his young mate's sharp cheekbones and smiled at the blush that appeared, outlining the underlying scales. He looked into the deep green eyes that were half-lidded. "Goodnight Harry."

Harry knew he should show some type of affection towards his mates, to show how much he did want this, but he was unsure of how. The only affection he had received was from Sirius and Mrs. Weasley, and that was only hugging. Would that be alright for mates? They had only shared small touches so far, like Remus touching his cheek. Maybe hugging Remus and Severus would be acceptable. Gathering all of his courage, Harry stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Remus. He was extremely nervous until he felt his werewolf counterpart wrap his arms around Harry. Harry tightened his hold before whispering to Remus. "Goodnight Remus." Harry released the man and turned to his Veela mate. Again, he nervously wrapped his arms around Severus, but smiled when he felt arms wrap almost immediately around him. He nuzzled into the man's chest when he felt the dark Veela bury his nose into his hair and take in his scent. "Goodnight Severus," Harry whispered before retreating into his room. He slumped to the floor in front of his door with a large, goofy grin on his face.

In his excitement, Remus pulled Severus in for a fierce kiss. When he released his mate, Remus chuckled at the shocked look on the man's face. Slightly acting like a child in a candy story, Remus pulled Severus by the hand down the hall towards their room. No one noticed Sirius standing at the end of the hall, happy to see his friends and godson so happy.

Harry groaned when sunlight suddenly streaked across his eyes. In hopes of it going away, Harry turned over and buried further into his duvet and pillows to block out the piercing rays. His eyebrows scrunched up when he heard a bark like laughter. Peering out from his nest, Harry glared at his godfather who was standing by the window.

"Come on Harry, time to get up. I have your robes picked out so go get a shower and dressed. Breakfast will be ready soon," Sirius said. As he walked by Harry's bed, he pulled off the duvet. "I'll take this for good measure," he said between fits of laughter at Harry's squeal of displeasure.

Downstairs, Remus was still smiling from last night as he set about making breakfast. Still unsure of Harry's preference for meals he made a wide range of food to satisfy everyone's morning cravings. He pressed a kiss to Severus's temple as he placed a cup of black coffee in front of his sleepy mate. He looked up when Sirius entered the kitchen, laughing softly to himself.

"What did you do to my poor mate, Padfoot?" Remus asked as he turned back to preparing the food.

"I only woke him up," Sirius replied, feigning innocence.

"Mhm," was the only reply Remus gave as he handed Severus another cup of coffee. He was sure his mate would have had a go at his friend if he had already consumed his second cup. Sirius should be grateful that Severus was not properly caffeinated. Turning back to the all of the food, he called back to Sirius. "What are you in the mood for?"

"What do you have?" Sirius asked as he fixed himself a cup of tea.

"Just about everything," Remus supplied as he fixed a plate of what he thought Severus may want that morning.

"Eggs, toast, and bacon?" Sirius formed it as a question. There were too many foods to pinpoint an exact smell as to what his friend had made. He looked over to the door behind Severus and saw Harry creeping into the kitchen. His godson gave him a sign to remain silent on the fact he had entered.

"Of course," Remus said from the counter and began a plate for Sirius. He seemed oblivious to Harry walking up behind him. Sirius kept quiet, but smirked as he waited to see what was going to happen. He looked away and saw that Severus was finally beginning to wake up. Sirius nudged at Severus and jerked his head over to Harry and Remus.

Severus smirked as he watched his younger mate creep up to Remus, but what Harry did not know was that Severus had something else planned. As Harry began reaching his arms around Remus, Severus got up silently and pulled Harry to his chest. When Harry yelped in surprise, Remus jumped and dropped the plates he had just picked up. Sirius began laughing so hard, he actually fell out of his chair, sending Severus and Harry into rolling laughter. The only one not amused was Remus.

"I'm, glad I can be a source of entertainment after fixing you all breakfast," Remus huffed as he flicked his wand towards the mess on the floor.

"I'm sorry Remus. I was laughing at Sirius. Now who Severus and Sirius were laughing at, I don't know," Harry quieted down once he noticed his mate's mood had dropped. He walked over to the man, still next to the counter, and pushed him towards the table. "I'll fix the plates, go sit down."

"Thank you Harry," Remus sat down at the table and sent glares to his other mate and best friend.

"My Gods Remus! How much food did you make?" Harry stared wide-eyed at the large expanse of food before him. He thanked the stars for preservation charms.

"Well I wasn't sure what everyone would like," Remus said as he fixed himself some tea. "Especially you, Harry. I don't know what kind of diet you'll want. Some merfolk don't eat meat, so I made sure you had plenty to choose from."

"Thank you. I'm not quite sure yet myself. The meal last night was very good, but none of the meat here puts me off." Harry placed plates in front of everyone; mostly meat for Remus; eggs, toast, and bacon for Sirius; and just toast with jam for Severus. Harry tucked into his own breakfast of porridge and a dish of fruit. It was something he would normally eat for breakfast and so he hadn't bothered testing any new eating habits.

Breakfast had quieted down for the occupants of Grimmauld until it was time to go to Gringotts. Rather than apparate to Diagon Alley and be accosted by Harry's fans, the four men decided to floo to the bank. Many people knew of the floo room that lead to the Goblin domain, but most liked to be seen walking into the bank, hoping to seem as if they had more money than they actually did. Sirius took charge of their group and walked ahead of everyone, walking up to the head desk.

"Name?" came the snarled voice of the goblin seated behind the raised desk. It was odd to think the goblins coveted respect and manners and yet most did not even look up to greet their customers and yet Sirius managed to stay pleasant.

"Harry James Potter and others upon request of a summons," Sirius evenly replied, albeit a tad tense. The goblin scribbled something on a different piece of parchment from where he was working and again addressed them without looking up.

"To your left, the office at the end," the goblin pointed with one grizzly hand. The creatures had always fascinated Harry, but also frightened him even since his first visit at eleven. Harry concentrated on the feeling he was getting from the goblins and he began to become uneasy. It was as if his instincts were telling him to leave the bank and to not be near the goblins. To alleviate his seemingly irrational fear, Harry pressed closer to Sirius, but also let out a whimper so quiet only Remus and Severus were able to hear thanks to their superior hearing. The werewolf and veela pressed closer from behind to ensure that Harry felt safe and protected from the goblins. He did not feel totally safe and he still wanted to leave, but having the presence of his mates soothed him.

"It'll be alright pup," Sirius said quietly as they moved to the office they were directed to. He smiled when Harry gave an unconscious noise of approval to being called pup, because Sirius knew that was the name young merfolk were called. When at the door, Sirius moved to knock on the door, but did not startle when the door opened itself before he had the chance too. "When you go in, be sure to bow," Sirius said quickly and barely waited for Harry's nod of understanding before he walked into the office. He waited until he was standing in front of the desk before he politely bowed and saw out of the corner of his eye, Harry and the others doing the same.

"Welcome Mister Potter, Lord Black, Master Lupin, and Master Snape," the goblin said inclining its head towards them. Sirius stood straight and sat down in the chair to the left with Harry on his right and the others seated on the other side of Harry. "Firstly, congratulations on your inheritance Mister Potter. Merfolk seem to be decreasing in numbers recently," the goblin sneered towards Harry, or at least that was how Sirius was interpreting the look.

Harry on the other hand knew what the look went, or at least his creature side supplied it. It was a leer. He did not know what the goblin could possibly want with him, but the look made him feel completely unsafe and he wanted to go back to Grimmauld Place. He fought the urge to let out a whine, thinking it would only encourage the goblin more, before talking quietly. "Thank you sir." He leaned to the side a bit when he felt Remus's arm drape across the back of his chair.

"Right then, because you have come into your inheritance you are now eligible to accept your lordship," the goblin said as he shuffled some papers around.

"Okay," Harry said. It was still odd to think he had a lordship and he really could care less about it, but he and his mates needed a safe place to live and this would give him that. He was brought out of his thoughts by Sirius.

"If I may?" Sirius asked looking at the goblin. When he got a nod in return, he continued with his plans. "Harry has only recently learned of his lordship and though he is of age thanks to the creature inheritance, I think it would better it Harry only takes on as the heir and I will delegate the Potter estates. I can teach him about his lordship before it is given to him and when he feels that he is ready."

"And you know that you are Mister Potter's magical guardian?" The goblin asked.

"Yes, I was named godfather and all rights should have been passed to me. Even during the time of my incarceration."

"Would you mind providing a drop of blood so we can verify? As my letter stated, there is an issue of false guardianship," the goblin said as he pulled forth a needle to prick Sirius's finger with and a piece of parchment that would be used to identify his blood. "Mister Potter we need your blood also to verify that who you are."

"Of course," Sirius said before he pricked his finger and allowed one drop to fall onto the parchment. Immediately writing began to appear stating who he was and what titles he held. Satisfied, the goblin placed the parchment on a pile of others and pushed a fresh one towards Harry. Harry uncertainly looked at Sirius for reassurance. His creature side did not like this idea and he wished he could voice his opinion, but the goblin in front of him kept his mouth shut. "Go ahead," Sirius side, watching carefully as Harry pricked his finger and let a drop of blood fall before pulling back. Sirius quickly pulled out his wand and healed the finger before any other drops fell.

"Well it appears you are exactly who you say, which we knew of course," the goblin sneered once again, before glaring over at Remus who let out a small growl at the look that was thrown towards Harry. Remus was not the only one having the urge to strike at the goblin. Severus now understood why Harry was so apprehensive earlier, he could vaguely recall potions that used merfolk blood and they were very rare. Rare enough to earn a pretty sickle for the greedy goblins. "Ah yes, the dutiful mates. Of course with the permission of Lord Black and Mister Potter, you will be allowed to live with them." the goblin had stressed the word allowed as if the thing would sooner put them in a dog house out in the rain before living with Harry. "After the initial mating, a bonding ceremony will have to be completed and thus you will be given rings stating you are consort to Lord Potter. Strangely, there are more than on consort ring already in the Potter vault and so a duplicate will not be needed."

"Thank you," Sirius cut in before Remus or Severus had a chance to attack the infuriating goblin. He did not think he would help to stop them, but rather help in assaulting the nasty creature; however that would be a bad idea. "Is there anything that needs to be discussed?"

"Yes," the goblin said as it shuffled through more parchments. "Here it is. Since you, Lord Black, are Mister Potter's guardian in everyway, there is a matter of Mister Potter's keys and the allowance that has been given to the supposed magical guardian."

"Who was it?" Harry asked although he had an idea of who took things from him, based on everyone's reactions that morning about his keys, but he needed to know for sure.

"Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. We can issue new keys to all of your vaults and stop all transactions that were authorized by him. Is that acceptable?"

"Yes it will," Sirius took back over. He placed a hand on Harry's shoulder to keep him from speaking. Talking about anything other than the vaults would keep them here longer and he did not want to take that risk. "Is that all?"

"Yes I believe that is it. I will send notice if I need you to return," the goblin said as he fixed his stare back onto Harry.

"Thank you, we shall be leaving now," Sirius stood up and gave a light bow to the goblin before leaving the room knowing that Severus and Remus would protect Harry. But it seemed he should be flanking Remus when he heard the werewolf give another low growl. When he looked back he saw his friend pull Harry into his side as they walked past the goblin with Severus behind them who gave a dangerous hiss in the goblin's direction. Creatures and their ridiculous hormones, Sirius thought. Once they were safely outside of the bank with no further incidents, Sirius turned to the trio. "Right do any of you need anything while we're in Diagon?"

"I could use a few potion ingredients," Severus said already heading in the direction to the apothecary. Harry and Sirius both groaned as they begrudgingly followed. When they entered the shop, Severus immediately headed to the counter to ask about ingredients kept in the back which left Sirius, Harry, and Remus to wander about themselves. Naturally, however, Remus went to the bookshelves while Harry and Sirius found where the amortentia potions were kept.

"What do you think Severus and Remus would smell if I put some on?" Harry asked jokingly. It was ridiculous if people needed to use this stuff and he was thankful to have two mates who he knew would never try to do that.

"Why don't you do it and we'll see?" Sirius snickered, always looking to cause mischief. "Although I would not like to know what turns them on, but it would be funny to watch them follow you like lost puppies," Sirius laughed at his own joke, naturally.

"You're a bad influence because now I'm curious," Harry looked around to make sure no one was watching and he tried to ignore Sirius's snickering as he dipped his fingers into the potion and rub the potion over his neck knowing that Remus and Severus would easily smell it there. This was just horrible after he had just thought about being thankful that no one would use it on him. But he was curious as to what scents would turn on his mates the most and didn't that just make him blush beet red. He had only just hugged his mates and already he was thinking of how to turn them on. Gods, he was horrible. Shoving Sirius out of the way, Harry first made his way up to the counter where Severus was waiting for the clerk to come back.

"Harry, did you-" Severus was cut-off by the most delicious smell flooding his noise as Harry walked up to him. It reminded him of the smell of the sea and caramels. They were his favorite things in the world and they seemed to cover Harry. His creature side quickly taking over, Severus pulled Harry against him and buried his nose into Harry's shoulder trying to get closer to the scent rolling off of his mate. And that's when he noticed it, the subtle twinge of potion making. He gathered himself before pulling back, hoping that he did not scare his mate by his sudden affections. Although it didn't seem like Harry was objecting to his attentions, his breathing had quickened and his pupils were blown, but he could feel rushed once he regained control over himself. "Harry, care to tell me why you are covered in amortentia?"

"I," Harry had to clear his throat before continuing. "I wanted to know what scent attracted you the most," Harry finally got out while trying to fight the blush that no doubt covered his face and also the arousal he had suddenly felt when Severus pulled him against his body. Gathering his courage, Harry looked up into the eyes of his mate which were still slightly hazy from lust. "Well?"

"The sea and caramels," Severus answered. Realizing he was stepping closer to Harry once again, that scent still consuming him, he cleared his throat and turned back to the counter. Obviously his mate was being quit the little Slytherin today and decided to help him out, but he would keep an eye of Harry just in case. "Go see what Remus has found would you? I'm almost done here."

"Yes Severus," Harry almost purred, amusing himself with the shudder that ran through Severus. He smirked when Severus gave him one last lustful look before turning away once again. So Harry made his ways to the stacks of books in search of his other mate. Severus liked the sea and caramels, then he would just have to order some sea salt caramels when he had the chance. When he found Remus in one of the back stacks, the werewolf was already staring at him, nostrils flaring as he scented the air. "Remus," Harry gasped when he suddenly found himself pressed against a stack with Remus pressing into his front. The shot of arousal through his body was intoxicating and the scent of Remus's own arousal brought his creature forth.

"My mate," Remus growled out as he pressed his nose into Harry's neck, inhaling the scent that was consuming his mate. Had Harry always smelled this amazing?

"Remus step back," Harry gasped out. As much as his creature side wanted this now, he was not ready and was able to form a coherent thought. He was nervous when Remus stiffened before stepping back and was holding onto the shelf behind him. Taking a deep breath to clear his mind, he gave a reassuring smile to Remus who was clearing battling himself. "Sorry for doing that, but I put some amortentia on myself because I wanted to know what scent attracted you the most. I did not mean to harm you or anything, please believe that?"

"Harry," Remus ground out. Moony was very close to the surface and he was honestly surprised he had listened when Harry said to step back. He was worried that he had hurt Harry or pushed his youngest mate too far with his forcefulness. Rather than argue and hoping to get out sooner, he decided to just answer Harry's question and then taking Severus back to their room to relieve some of his tension. "Chocolate and rain." He snorted when he watched as Harry gave him a beaming smile. He had almost assaulted his mate in the potions store and his mate was happy with him. "Let's get out of here, please."

"Come on Remus," Severus said offering his arm to Remus to take them back to Grimmauld Place as Sirius took Harry.
