Harry huffed and wiped sweat from his head. He missed his hat. He was being cooked alive out here. They had arrived in Jerusalem just an hour ago. For some reason his bosses had thought it prudent to send Severus with him because the tomb was that of a Potion's Master. Unfortunately, for them it was the start of the Sabbath and the city seemed to be empty.
"Ugh." Harry moaned, "How am I supposed to buy another hat when everything is closed down?" he huffed again. "Gringotts should be around here."
"I thought we were going to the library."
"We are." Harry wiped his forehead again. " but I have to go to Gringotts. If this guy is going to keep us out by cursing everything I'm going to need my wand."
Severus hid his smirk. Though his heart ached. Harry had left behind Magic and was now being forced back into it.
"We need to be-careful, " Severus said, as they approached Gringotts. " Bill Weasley got himself assigned here sometime back and I think he's still here. He might report us back to Albus."
Harry scoffed. Sure enough when they went in they saw a red head that was unmistakably a Weasley.
"I'd like to go to my vault." he said to a goblin handing over a key. "It's a Switzerland vault. "
"I'll ready a Vault port key." the goblin replied, " Please wait over in the seats, Mr. Raven."
Harry nodded and walked over to an area that had a sitting area fit for kings. Harry sat in an over sized chair. Severus sat on a couch and picked up a magazine to read and hide his face.
Bill Weasley stared at the men who had just walked in. They both looked familiar to him. He felt out their magic but didn't neither felt familiar to him. He walked over.
"Hello, " he said, "My name is Bill Weasley I'm a Curse Breaker for Gringotts. Have we met before?"
"If you're trying to pick me up you're out of your league." Harry scoffed, " You're not my type."
"No." Bill said quickly, "I'm a happy married man." Severus was hiding his face and had hid a laugh at Harry. "I just asked because you seem familiar. Like we met a long time ago of something."
"Well, you're wrong." Harry replied, "I've never seen you before in my life." Not a lie. He had never really met Bill or Charlie Weasley.
"You have a faint accent." Bill pointed out. "A British accent? Were you born in Britain ?"
"No." Harry lied, "I was born in America. My parents fled Britain during your first war. I picked up my accent from them."
Severus had to admit that it was a good lie and one that couldn't be proven. Harry was the one he was worried about someone finding out a bout. He, Severus had had his nose fixed by Muggle doctors. It had been broken so many times by the Marauders and his own father so many times over the years. When he'd left it was the first step he took to disguise himself. He was going to hide in plain sight. He started wearing his hair tied back and only wearing Muggle clothes. He'd also quit acting like he had as a teacher and all that had amazingly kept him hidden. That and the fact that after claiming his inheritance that he'd known nothing about and Albus had been keeping from him and trying to get himself he'd done exactly what Harry had done. Closed out all of his vaults into one and transferred them to Switzerland .
"I see." Bill was frowning. "and you, sir."
"My family is indeed from Britain." Severus drawled, "Endovelicus. "
"That line is thought to have died out." Bill said gaping . He knew that name. It was one of the oldest Houses. "Did you live in Britain?"
"I did." Severus said calmly. "and I am the last of the Endovelicus line. Now be on your way, boy. "
"Yes be on your way." the Goblin grunted pushing him aside. "We have reports of a curse going off at the dig site."
"He wont be needed." Harry said, "We're from the sight and have already taken care of the problem. We will be dealing with the tomb ourselves. The man is actually a family member of mine. "
"I see." the Goblin nodded. "Well, here's your Vault Port Key, Mr. Raven."
"Thank you, " Harry stood taking the notebook. " May you find treasure wherever you look."
With that he and Severus activated the port key and vanished they re appeared in Harry's vault in Switzerland .
"Is that really true?" Severus asked , "The tomb being one of your ancestors?"
"Yeah. His name is Linfred of Stinchcombe. " Harry explained, "His eldest son Hardwin married Iolanthe Peverell the Granddaughter of Ignotus Peverell. Making me a direct descendant. "
"I'm a direct descendant of Antioch Peverell. " Severus chuckled looking around the oddly organized vault. " Gideon Endovelicus married into the family through the eldest son . They were soul mates according to family lore. "
Harry nodded then stopped for a second and looked at his old professor.
"Are you saying men can have babies?"
"Of course they can." A voice called, "Harry James Potter you get over here this second!"
Harry looked around. Then began following the voice. Severus behind him with a frown he knew that voice well. He sighed and wondered if this was the first time Harry had been to this vault since it's transfer or if he'd ever bothered to go to the vault before that. If he had why was the portrait just now activating and calling out to him? Why hadn't it before? So this really had to be Harry's first time in here. Then Severus cursed himself. Of course it was his first time down here. He'd sworn of magic for 24 years.
Severus cursed himself for being so slow as they came to a clearing in the vault.
