Chapter~ Fifteen: Banks, contracts, and rituals
Enya yawned softly as they walked into Diagon Alley. Each of them were wearing a hooded cloak, the group was only doing it to keep anyone from recognizing them. It wasn't as crowded as it had been every other time she'd been there. Even during her summer she blew up Marjorie Dursley, it had been quiet busy. Tyki had a firm grip on her hand as Adam, Sheril, Wisley, and Allen looked around suspiciously. Enya knew it was to make sure none of Dumbledore's dogs would try anything. Enya reached up to rub at her eyes and muttered, "Why couldn't we have the meeting later?"
"Because Dumbledore likes to come to the bank later in the day," Adam explained in a light tone, "Seeing as they're meeting with him today as well, the goblins thought it prudent to speak with us as soon as possible before his meeting,"
Enya smiled lightly, "Who wants to make a bet he's going to attempt to do something to my accounts?"
"No bet," Allen grinned at her.
Enya mock pouted at him and went to reply when she caught sight of the Weasley twins. She frowned slightly as Wisley placed his hand on her shoulder and whispered, "You can speak to them at a later point in time. We don't have much time."
"I know," Enya looked at the twins sadly.
He squeezed her shoulder as Tyki pulled her close and murmured, "I'll make sure you see them before the summer is out. I promise you that."
Enya turned her head to smile at him. She looked back at the twins and found them frowning as they looked at the group. Enya knew by the look in their eyes that they were contemplating the chances of her being among the hooded group. Smiling softly as they walked, Enya watched the twins until they moved passed them and into Gringotts.
Adam took the lead as they entered the bank and walked right up to one of the tellers. Rather than sneer at Adam, the teller surprised Enya by saying, "It has been a long time since you've graced this bank with your presence, Lord Millennium."
"Please inform Dreamtwister and Winterbite that we've come," Adam spoke in a pleasant tone and the goblin nodded quickly.
The teller barked out something in gobbledygook and one of the nearby goblins disappeared. The goblin turned to them and said, "If you would please follow me, I will take you to a waiting room."
The waiting room they were led into was decorated in warm browns and soft creams. On the walls, Enya could see painted shields and tapestries denoting past battles. Tyki pulled her to sit on a couch after they removed their hooded cloaks. Allen sat down next to her with Tyki on the other side. Enya yawned softly and wished she'd taken up Adam's suggestion of drinking coffee. Adam spoke once everyone had been seated, "We only have a few minutes before we will meet Dreamtwister and Winterbite. I need to know if you have any questions, Enya."
Enya thought about it for a few moments before asking, "Why did that goblin act so polite with you?"
"The Noah clan and by extension, our soulmates meaning you, are goblin friends," Adam informed her earning a wide eyed look from Enya.
"Goblin friends?" Enya breathed out as she lost the last bit of lingering tiredness, "I thought there hadn't been any in years,"
Adam offered her a warm smile, "It has been years since a new goblin friend has appeared. I made sure the clan has always been goblin friends. How do you think we're always rich no matter how many years pass nor what station we're born into?"
Enya opened her mouth before closing it. That did make a lot of sense, she had wondered about that in her past life, but quickly managed to forget it each time it came up. Enya shook her head slightly, "That makes a lot of sense," She thought about her next question, "What all will we be discussing?"
"As it is quite clear that you've never spoken with Winterbite, we will be doing an inheritance test which will inform us of your abilities and the state of your affairs," Adam replied making Enya wonder just how bad things would be for her, "From there, we will get rid of any contracts that you have as well as get rid of the bindings on your core. After that, we will look over your finances,"
Enya bit her lip before asking, "Could you and Sheril look over that stuff?"
"That's why we're here," Sheril assured her with a warm smile that didn't show his normal weirdness, "We'll make sure it's put into words you can understand and we'll help you decide what to do,"
"Thank you, both of you," Enya told them sincerely.
It didn't take long for them to be brought to a rather large office where a pair of goblin were discussing something. They turned to the group and one of them grunted slightly, "Lord Millennium."
"Dreamtwister," Adam greeted in a warm voice, "I see that you and Winterbite are ready,"
"Of course," Dreamtwister waved a hand, "Take a seat,"
They did as was bid and the second goblin, Winterbite, placed a large bowl onto the table alongside a knife. He poured a pale white potion into the bowl before grunting at Enya, "Three drops of blood."
Enya carefully took the knife and cut her pointer finger. It stung as the blood drip into the potion, but the cut closed the moment the third drop left her finger. The potion's coloring turned from a pale white to a multicolored mixture. Winterbite took the blade from Enya and she sat back down in her seat. Tyki took her hand in his and peered down at the slightly red skin. After inspecting it for a few moments, Tyki linked their hands together and smiled at Enya. Enya returned his smile with one of her own as Dreamtwister barked, "Ms. Potter, why haven't you come to the bank before when we owled you?"
"I've never received any letters aside from my Hogwarts one, the ones my friends send me, and the few that the ministry have sent me," Enya informed him with a frown, "I would've come if I had,"
Dreamtwister scowled and swore loudly in gobbledygook as Winterbite muttered lowly. Dreamtwister growled darkly, "It would seem that you have a mail ward on you. We will be removing it alongside the binding that is on your core."
"I would appreciate it if you could remove any harmful magic," Enya told him, "I do not care about the cost,"
The goblins stared at her before grinning in a way that made Enya's hackles raise in the worst way. Adam cleared his throat, "Keep in mind that the clan healers do have Enya on a potions regime that is needed to improve her health."
"Of course," Dreamtwister inclined his head, "Lord Millennium, I have documents for you to look through,"
Adam held out his hands and the goblin handed a small stack of papers to the patriarch of the Noah clan. Enya shifted in her seat as she asked, "How long will the potion take?"
"Up to thirty minutes depending on how many abilities you have, your power level, and whatever you've inherited," Winterbite informed her while eyeing Enya carefully, "Ms. Potter, I need to know who you've been living with,"
"Petunia Dursley Nee Evans," Enya informed him.
The goblin swore violently and growled darkly, "That was never meant to happen, Ms. Potter. Your mother and father ensured that you would never end up there. Seeing as you aren't actually related to Mrs. Dursley-"
"Wait! What?!" Everyone cut off the goblin.
Winterbite sighed and informed her, "Your mother was adopted into the Evans family. If I remember correctly, she was actually related to one of Lord Millennium's associates, a Mr. Cross Marian."
Enya's eyes went wide and she twitched violently as everyone gaped at the goblin. Every glass in the office save for the bowl that currently held the potion shattered as Enya struggled to contain her feelings. Enya took a deep breath and asked, "Is there a room I could perhaps use to cool down? I'm afraid my temper isn't the best at the moment."
Dreamtwister disappeared through the door and came back moments later with a rather bulky looking goblin following him. Dreamtwister gestured to the goblin, "Axetooth will show you to a room and wait for you to be finished before showing you the way back."
"Thank you," Enya smiled tightly as she stood.
The goblin her into a room filled with glass objects and training dummies that he explained, "Everything in here is breakable and repairable, so go nuts."
Enya gave him a light nod and he quickly left the room. A loud boom echoed through the air before he could close the door and the goblin muttered, "Volatile females."
Dreamtwister idly commented, "Well that was interesting."
"I will be speaking to Cross after we return home," Adam informed the rest of the group.
"I take it that Ms. Potter is a reincarnation much like yourselves?" Winterbite asked earning a nod from the Noah, "Who was she?"
"Enya Mikk nee Walker/Campbell," Tyki answered him, "Before that, she was born as Nea's elder sister. She is my soulmate,"
Winterbite nodded lightly before asking Adam, "Do you wish for me to combine the accounts?"
Adam thought about it for a few moments while looking through his paperwork before replying, "We will allow Enya to decide."
Winterbite inclined his head before commenting, "She is much like her mother when angered. When Mrs. Potter found out she was adopted, she had much the same attitude."
Wisley spoke in the ensuing silence, "Cross is screwed."
Allen swallowed before asking, "What exactly was Cross's relation to Enya's mother?"
Winterbite thought about it for a few moments before replying, "He was her brother."
"Cross is screwed," Allen confirmed.
Adam gained a considering look on his face, "That would explain the red head that showed up a while back looking for him,"
"Oh yeah," Sheril nodded lightly as he recalled it, "Enya does look a lot like her,"
After Enya felt a less homicidal, she rejoined everyone in the office. No one commented on her singed appearance which eased Enya's nerves even more. Settling in her seat in between Allen and Tyki, Enya asked, "Has the potion finished?"
Winterbite looked at the potion and raised it up so that they could see the dark purple color, "Yes."
It reminded Enya of the few times she'd seen her raw magic. The goblin poured the potion onto a blank piece of parchment attached to a piece of rock covered in runes. Enya glanced over the runes as they glowed softly and commented, "An interesting use of the magic sensing array and the secrecy array. I don't recognize those other parts, so I'm going to assume they're goblin only runic arrays."
"You like runes?" Dreamtwister looked at her in surprise.
Enya shrugged lightly, "They're interesting and have so many uses that it's shame not many people take the time to understand them."
Dreamtwister and Winterbite looked at each other before launching into a discussion in talked for a while before turning to Enya. Dreamtwister asked, "At some point, would you be willing to allow Gringotts to test your knowledge of ancient runes?"
Enya nodded lightly, "I'd like that. I'm planning on becoming a curse-breaker at some point after I graduate though it won't be in England."
Winterbite gave her a nod of understanding, "We understand. The English wizarding community isn't very smart," He waved a hand towards the parchment, "Let's see what we have here."

After that list, the goblins revealed a large amount of properties and documents that made Enya's head spin slightly from the sheer amount of paperwork. Enya looked at the goblins and asked, "Can you please remove the blocks on my core? Adam and Sheril can look through the paperwork."
"Of course," Winterbite told her.
Dreamtwister left the office once more as Enya valiantly tried to ignore the urge to bang her head against the nearest solid surface. She was heir to three fourths of Hogwarts which explained why she felt so at home inside the castle regardless of how dangerous it was. Theoretically, she could use that power to make Dumbledore's life very hard which would in turn make it far easier for her to kill him. The fact that the bastard had bound some of her memories left her pissed off to the point she was ready to light the bastard on fire and watch him burn with a bag of popcorn. Adam spoke as they waited for Dreamtwister to return, "We should get the betrothal contract out of the way."
Winterbite searched through a rather think file before pulling out three pieces of paper. He set them on the desk in front of Enya, "These are the betrothal contracts that are currently tied to Ms. Potter."
"Three?" Tyki's grip on her hand tightened as his eyes flashed gold.
"Yes, but they can all be dissolved within moments both due to Ms. Potter not being sixteen and Mr. Mikk being here," Winterbite was quick to cut in before Joyd could make an appearance.
"How?" Tyki bit out.
Winterbite took out a piece of parchment, a very familiar black quill, and two knives. He set them down, "If you two would please sign this contract using the blood quill, it will take precedence over the other contracts. From there, you need to place one drop of blood each on the voided contracts. With that, the contracts will glow before dissolving in a burst of fire. It will occur to the other copies as well while a Gringotts owl will bring them an automatic letter informing them of the change."
"And no one will be able to change this?" Adam asked while Tyki and Enya eyed the contract with apprehension.
"Of course, we wouldn't off this if it wasn't permanent," Winterbite replied while not seeming at all offended by the question, "Only the best for our goblin friends,"
Enya looked at Tyki and he looked back at her. She bit her lip and asked, "Do you want to do this?"
"Do you?" He replied and offered her a light smile, "It's just a forgone conclusion after all,"
Enya felt her apprehension ease and she grabbed the black quill. With a careful hand, Enya wrote her name on it as the goblin indicated and said, "Yeah."
Tyki took the quill from Enya and signed his name making the contract glow brightly. When it settled, Winterbite took both the contract and the blood quill before handing them the daggers. Enya read the names on each contract as they let their blood drip on to them. Ronald Weasley, Blaise Zabini, and Neville Longbottom were no longer contracted to her. Enya felt a bit hurt that neither Blaise nor Neville had mentioned their contracts, but would talk to them before really reacting. They might not have known and her being angry with them would be useless. Watching the contracts explode into ash, Enya felt lighter as she handed her knife back to Winterbite. Tyki picked her up and set her down in his lap. He wrapped his arms around her and buried his face in her hair while muttering, "I'm so glad that's over."
"Agreed," Enya relaxed into his hold.
Soon after the contracts had been resolved, Dreamtwister returned with a pair of goblins. He looked at the position Enya and Tyki were currently in before saying, "Ms. Potter, you may bring your guests with you, but they will be waiting in a seperate room as the backlash of the bindings being released will be detrimental to their health."
Enya looked at Adam and he offered her a light smile, "Go ahead, Sheril and I will be here for awhile."
"Thank you again," Enya told him sincerely before looking at Winterbite, "Thank you as well,"
Winterbite offered Enya a curt nod, "It is no trouble, Ms. Potter. Your parents were very good customers here and I know you will be as well."
Enya flashed the goblin a soft smile before getting up. Tyki and Allen followed her. With Dreamtwister leading them, they left the room and went deeper into the bank. They walked for awhile before reaching a pair of double doors that were guarded by two goblins in full armor. Dreamtwister barked something at them and they opened the door to allow the group to enter. Upon entering the room, Dreamtwister spoke to Enya, "This is where you will leave us, go into the next room and be freed."
Tyki kissed her softly before murmuring, "We'll be waiting for you."
Allen crushed her into a hug, "What Tyki said."
"I love you," Enya told them before taking a deep breath and moving into the next room through a second though smaller pair of double doors.
The room beyond was positively covered in runes and Enya could only understand half of what was written. The room was circular and held a large pedestal in the exact center of the room. The pedestal was about the size of two Vernon's and sat on a raised platform. Enya found her attention taken by the Goblins that lined the walls. They all wore white robes lined with pale bluish black runes. An elderly goblin walked up to Enya and spoke in a feminine voice that surprised her, "Ms. Potter, I am Healer Bonerush. If you will discard your clothes, we can begin."
"My clothes?" Enya's cheeks heated and Enya swore she could hear some laughter.
"If you do not, they will likely be damaged and actually cause the ritual to fail," Bonerush informed her.
With a low sigh, Enya carefully removed her clothes and the goblin placed them inside a basket that was quickly placed into a warded area. Enya was prompted to lay down on the alter and Bonerush, with the help of two other goblins, drew runes on almost every inch of Enya's skin. It tickled slightly and the inky substance they used felt a bit itchy making Enya twitch slightly though she tried to stop herself. Soon enough, the runes were finally finished and Enya let out a sigh of relief. Bonerush barked something in Gobbledygook before the goblins began chanting. Enya smelt the scent of burning incense which caused her nose and eyes to burn slightly from the smell. As the goblins chanted, Enya's eyes slipped closed as they seemed to lull her into a partial sleep. The voices of the goblins seemed to blur together and made her head spin slightly along side what the incense was doing. A prickling sensation exploded over her body, but Enya's mind stayed right where it was.
Tyki looked at Dreamtwister and asked, "Will this hurt her?"
"No," Dreamtwister was quick to inform him, "It will cause her some pain due to the amount of bindings Dumbledore placed on her, but nothing else,"
"How long will this take?" Allen asked him with a frown.
"No more than an hour," Dreamtwister glanced at the door to the ritual room, "Depending on the strength and depth of the binding, it may be less than an hour,"
Winterbite pulled a chest out of his desk as he informed the two Noah, "Due to Lord Millennium's warning, we were able to find this Horcrux within the bank alongside a number of dark objects. As it stands, we are currently looking through the objects while locking down the vaults that held them. Due to the presence of the Horcrux and your warning, the goblin clans of Gringotts are happy to inform you that the entire contents of the Lestrange Vault is now in your possession."
Upon hearing that, Adam let out a light chuckle, "See to it that half of the money inside of the vault goes to the clans."
"Of course," Winterbite smiled a blood thirsty smile.
"Once the dark objects are taken care of, I would like an exact list of what is inside the vault," Adam continued earning a nod from Winterbite, "Any books on Alchemy or the like are to be set to our address so that Enya may look through them,"
Winterbite took out a piece of parchment and wrote that down before asking, "Should I have the books on runes and the like sent as well?"
Adam thought about it before nodding, "And the ones on Wards. If Enya is to be a Curse-breaker, she will need to know about wards."
"For a small fee, I could have the books we have our new Curse-Breakers read added to this," Winterbite offered, "It will be useful to her,"
"Please do," Adam would make it her birthday present.
Enya could feel the chains placed on her mind, body, and magic shattering into millions of pieces. She felt whole for the first time in a very long time and relished in the feeling. As the chains on her memories broke, she found herself surrounded by memories that she'd been forced to forget...
"You will stay out here until tomorrow, Freak," Petunia sneered down at her before slamming the door.
Enya shivered as the wind chilled her and she stared at the darkening sky. She wouldn't survive the night with winter on it's way. Moving away from the door, Enya decided it was time she took matters into her own hands. She wouldn't be returning.
A girl with bright amber eyes grinned at Enya as they ran away from a shouting vendor. The girl's bright green hair swayed in the wind as she shouted, "This is awesome! We have enough to eat for the next few days."
"We can practice our pick-pocketing," Enya replied with a light grin, "It'll be nice if we can get more money, Bex,"
"Agree-" Bex was cut off by someone grabbing Enya by the collar of her shirt, "Let her go!"
"No," Albus Dumbledore glared down at Enya, "You shouldn't have run away from your relatives,"
"Fuck you!" Enya attempted to gather the fire she could control only for the old man to wrench her away and point a stick towards Bex.
He said some off word and a light flew from his stick before he pointed it at her and she blacked out.
Enya took a deep breath as she slowed to a stop. Vernon was screaming obscenities while Petunia checked over an injured Dudley. Enya offered them a cheeky wave before hopping onto the bus that held the ringmaster of the circus. He glared at her relatives before smiling at Enya and asked her in slightly accented English, "Ready to go, Petit renard*?"
"Of course, Mr. Rodrick," Enya replied as she took a seat next to him.
He patted her head, "We will be leaving England within the hour, Petit renard. Go back to the girls, I'm sure they would love to help you into your new clothes."
Enya grinned at him before dashing off to join the giggling tightrope walkers.
The memories poured out around her and Enya felt her heart clench at the reminder of her circus friends. She hoped that they were alright and planned to speak with Adam about getting into contact with them.
I hoped you all liked it.
