Previously in the last chapter:
"Why you little. . ."the man quickly got up from his seat but before he could reach for his wand that was in his pocket Harry had some how got his own wand pointed at the man's throat without even remembering to grabbing it from his own pocket.
"Don't even think about it asshole. I don't mind hexing you if you lay one finger on your wand or think about pointing your wand at me or my aunt. Actually I wouldn't mind you giving me a reason at all." Harry said coldly his voice was like ice and it made the people in the pub except Ceidhli shivered at the sound of his voice it was like someone had walked over their graves.
Tom the owner of the Leaky Cauldron was watching from behind the bar pretending to clean the counter, he couldn't understand why such a cold hard voice seem to remind him of someone he knew but it did and he couldn't remember who it was. But the strange thing was even though the voice was cold and hard he really wasn't afraid of the man his heart knew who it was even if his mind didn't. He watched as the young man's beautiful aunt went to him switching their earlier placement of who was calm and who was going to fight, placed a hand on his arm and began pushing him gently towards the entranceway to Diagon Alley.
Tom did notice as they walked away from the cloaked man that neither of them relaxed and that the aunt seemed to be watching the cloaked man the rest of his customers, to watch for dangers from any one in the pub before she followed the young man outside she turned to Tom and smiled gently then mouthed 'I am sorry for the trouble' that didn't happen then left with her nephew out towards Diagon Alley leaving a silent and shocked room to try and grasp what happened.
Chapter Seven Gringotts
Harry relaxed when they left the Leaky Cauldron and went into the entrance to Diagon Alley Harry tapped the bricks in the correct sequence and the wall opened for them and they walked into the Alley Harry took a deep breath and smiled at Ceidhli as he put his wand away.
"Merlin, I missed this place," Harry said watching witches and wizards go about their business with their children, not going to apologize for his behavior in the pub.
"Why?" asked Ceidhli looking around and seeing what she had seen centuries before, that is the one this that never changes with wand magic society it never changes, nothing new really, same shops and stuff selling away with vendors. Not even the faces were new only extensions of their ancestors.
"I don't know. I remember the first time I came here it was with Hagrid. This place made me feel so alive, my magic was happy for the first time, I guess. I could remember really and it told me I wasn't alone that I really wasn't a freak there were more people like me and I didn't have to hid who I was anymore. I was at the time a normal wizard, which was before I found out I was different even around other magic people being the boy-who-lived."
"Oh, I could really hurt those Dursleys for making you feel like a freak I mean have they looked in the mirror once in a while they wouldn't be casting any stones. Even though you are a lovable freaky teen." Ceidhli said mumbling the last part with a smile and stage whisper.
"OI!" Cried Harry making a bunch of people look up from their shopping to stare at the now blushing young man and the laughing lady Harry hated the attention but Ceidhli could care less and keep on laughing. Children around them began to giggle along side Ceidhli at the blushing and now scolding Harry, whom was trying to get Ceidhli to stop laughing and collect herself.
"Come on little one," Ceidhli said putting an arm around his should feeling a little sorry for the boy who was now beyond embarrassed. " We both are a little freaky, if you think about it Just look at our lives we define freakiness."
"I guess, but you are more of one." Harry said smiling forgetting that he was still the center of attention.
"Without any doubt." Ceidhli said looking serious until a smile came upon her face noticing he wasn't embarrassed anymore she motioned for them to start heading towards Gringotts, ignoring the stares that they were bring in by Ceidhli's bright alluring beautiful looks and Harry's dark mysterious handsome ones.
When they reached the Gringotts doors Ceidhli quickly began mind speaking to Harry. "Don't look at the door, the goblins had the doors charmed so no one will try to steal from them."
"You mean the riddle I read about no one can steal from them is a spell that keeps people from stealing?" Harry asked confused being an understatement.
"Pretty much, they are quite smart they added a notice-me- spell on top of the written spell so they know that people will read it without knowing it is an actual spell. Spells like that aren't used anymore in the wizarding world so they don't realize that they are being cursed."
"Wow they are ingenious."
"Yep too bad they always seem to get into trouble with wizards, if they didn't the world would be so different."
"The Goblin revolts? Are the troubles you are talking about them?"
"Yes." Ceidhli and Harry settled in one of the lines, "wizards forced their laws and rules on creatures they have no business doing too. It is wrong and very rude so Goblins tried fighting for their rights and freedoms like anyone else would."
"You sound like you agree with them on revolting against wizards."
"I did and still do, as did many Potters, we all helped the Goblins during the rebellions fighting for freedom is something we always did Harry."
"You fought with them?"
"Yep. And the Potter, your ancestors, would help when they could, they hid them would for right in the Ministry of Magic. Didn't you ever listen to the teacher in the History of Magic? He has taught about Potters helping. Never mind don't answer that stupid question. Why do you think everyone here, the goblins, that is, are so respectful to you when they never are to other wizards?"
"They are respectful to me?" Harry asked shocked never noticing anything before.
"When you ask questions they will answer you, when you come in they will make sure you are taken care of quickly with out causing a fuss. Trust me when I say that means really means respect for you and being a Potter, not many get anything close to that. Also they help manage and create the Potter vaults allowing our family to make a whole lot of money for today because of their investment advice."
"What do you want?" asked one of the goblins when they reached the front windows, the goblin was ignoring them and was playing/counting his gold coins.
"I see what you mean." Harry stated think about each time he had come in to Gringotts, they were a lot nicer to him than they were now, he heard a faint 'I told you so...'
"Yes I would like to get into my vault," Ceidhli said with a smile on her face playing with her blond hair. "It is vault two." Ceidhli said quietly and the goblin stilled his hand all the gold fell from his fingers as his head snapped up in shock he looked right at Ceidhli in disbelief.
"Do you have any identification?" he asked in a shaky voice hoping that this human wasn't the owner of vault two.
"Yes," Ceidhli said while sticking out her hand to the goblin who looked like he was about to cry, slowly the goblin drew blood from her palm with a jeweled knife that had a diamond on the top for a moment nothing happened and then the diamond glowed white.
"It is a pleasure to have you at Gringotts again Ms. Storm-knight. What can I do for you today?" Harry watched as the goblin went from crying fool to a smiling fool. Harry was very confused.
"What's up? Why is he so happy now?" Harry asked.
"I am known to want large costly things when I come in here which means large commissions for the goblins and whoever happens to help me get it. So every goblins wants some of it."
"I don't think he should get anything I mean he was kind a rude, and it is a great way to teach him a lesson." Harry stated looking at the goblin.
"I know that silly. That's why I am getting the manager to help me, he is a great goblin who always help you'll love him Ragnok, Is there one that you want to get to help we will need another?" Ceidhli asked not caring that she was making the goblin very nervous by not speaking to him.
Harry thought for a moment, "Yes his name is Griphook, he was nice to me I would like to see him again."
Ceidhli nodded and then went to tell the goblin that she wanted to talk with Ragnok now. Ceidhli and Harry were waiting for the Ragnok in silence which was a first since Harry had meet Ceidhli and Harry was getting restless something he rarely got do to the Dursleys treatment he had learnt patience very young. He began to look around the floor at the people checking out wizards and witches them through the crowds he saw Bill, Ron Fred, and George Weasley standing near the bank scrolls and pamphlets talking in hush voices. Harry looked to Ceidhli and motioned to the Weasleys Ceidhli nodded knowing what he wanted to do, he wanted to spy on them, to hear what they were saying.
He moved slowly towards them not wanting them to know that they had someone watching them he also wanted to know if anymore Order members were around. Looking around he didn't see any but Tonks was a difficult one to find, he at a leisurely speed not wanting them to realize that he was around them until it was to late for them to do anything he made it to them and felt their wards looking slowly at Ceidhli who nodded slightly he felt a tug a wind blowing and he settled next to the pamphlets and grabbed one to 'read' as his friends words blew past his ear with the help from the wind.
"Bill have you heard anything about Harry at any Order meetings? How is he being treated or feeling?" Ron Weasley asked his oldest brother, thinking about his best friend the boy who was more like a brother to him the rest of his family, the best friend that was giving him an ulcer and worry lines already and he was only 16 years old not something he wanted to continue.
"Nothing new, he has been in his room since his return and our only contact is his one letter every three days that says 'he is fine don't send any one' " Bill said sadly looking at his youngest brother.
"That git he has to know how worried we are about him? Why doesn't he send a letter to us that has more than three sentences?" Fred said sulking as bit, Harry thought for a moment and realized that he had never seen such a serious face on either twin before they do really care about him and they are worried about him, boy was he feeling guilty.
"I know Dumbledore is quite worried, I have never seen him this stressed and this old before," stated Bill, thinking about the meeting he has been to since he had gotten back from Egypt.
"When I saw him he looked liked he aged 20 years or so, his eyes were bleak and there wasn't any twinkle in them any more." George said softly shaking his head sadly aging twenty years for someone as old as Dumbledore wasn't a good thing.
"Look we might not be able to talk with Harry now because he is mourning and ignoring us like the biggest git that he is but when he gets to the headquarters I need to be able to tell him everything, even things we aren't suppose to tell him, so he won't feel left out like last year. I don't think I could handle another year like the last one." Ron said looking pensive and worried about his brother, completely ignoring the worry for the headmaster like the others were having, because in Ron's mind.
The headmaster was to blame for many things that happened last year to Harry . He deserved to feel guilty and worry. Ron letting his protectiveness of Harry shine through. The three older brothers shared a look. Both Ron and Hermione had a lot to say about Dumbledore and they couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the aging wizard Ron had a temper like their mother, it wasn't something that people should be letting off.
"Hey Bill, what's gong on over there?" Fred asked wanting Ron's focus some where else he pointed towards where Harry last saw Ceidhli. All four Weasleys turned along with Harry who smirked at the sight of Weasleys seeing Ceidhli for the first time, all four of them had their mouths opened and eyes wide opened.
"She must be really important if Ragnok in involved." Bill said watching the beautiful blonde woman who was wearing all muggle clothing looking scandalous undressed compared to the other women, talking with three goblins, she smiled when she saw the head manager walk up to them and did something Bill never seen before. A witch kissing both the cheeks of a goblin, especially the head manager and he allowing the kisses with a blush rising in his cheeks.
A loud deep laugh to their right made all four boys turn to face a tall young man who was also wearing muggle clothing like the woman the difference was his hair was covered by a strange hat, you could tell he was a wizard by the wand in his back pocket while the woman had her wand hidden some where. The woman looked up at the laugh and motioned to the young man, with a move of her head and hand to come to her.
The teen nodded put down the pamphlet he was reading and walked over to the woman and goblin who were waiting for him when he reached the small group he did another thing that was unexpected among wizards and goblins. The teen held out his hand to shake Ragnok's hand as they held each other hand in a strong grip the teen bent over to bow to Ragnok and said the goblin greeting that shocked every witch, wizard, and goblin who were spying on them because no one was to know that greeting and wizards never 'sunk' to the goblin level. Ragnok smiled a sharp tooth smile and motioned them both to follow him to his office where they could have some privacy.
Moments ago. . .
"Ragnok, let me introduce you to my blood and heir," Ceidhli said when Harry arrived over to the small group.
"It is an honor to meet you sir." Harry said while holding out his hand to be shaken the only reaction Ragnok had was holding his own hand out, while they were shaking hands Ceidhli told him in his mind to bow and say, " May your day bring you much gold and fortune in the market of life," in which Harry did quickly and respectably. Ragnok' s and everyone else who was on the floor now were staring wide eye at Harry, Ragnok simple smiled and nodded at Harry's saying.
"Come Ms. Storm-Knight's heir lets go talk in my office" Ragnok said kindly and then lead them all to his office where he dismissed the goblins that were surrounding them all. "Would you like something to drink or to eat?"
"No thank you." Harry said
"Yeah, can I get cheese and crackers? Oh and some coffee." Ceidhli asked as she quickly sat down tossing her coat on the desk. Harry looked at his aunt shocked by behavior.
"Don't worry I have known her since I was a young goblin I know all about her moods and quirks that rules her life, I don't take offence easily when dealing with her." Ragnok said looking at Ceidhli who was looking around the room before snapping his fingers and a tray of cheese, crackers and coffee appeared on his desk.
"What can I do for you today ms. Storm- Knight?" It has been many years since she same to the wizarding world and it was shocking to see her here with an heir, she never proclaimed one before never since then bank was created.
"This is my heir." Ceidhli said nodding to Harry smiling.
"Yes you said that already." Ragnok said nodding helping himself to coffee before settling down next to both Ceidhli and Harry.
"I need to now is everything going to be kept confidential?" Ceidhli looking right in to Ragnok eye's.
Ragnok looked insulted and put out, "Yes it will be you know that every head manager has kept your secrets even from other goblins, you have always made sure we had something to back on during our rebellions we don't forget easily you know this."
"Yes I do, and I am sorry for saying this, but this isn't simple about grabbing a person off the streets Ragnok, " the goblin's eyes widen as he grasped at his understanding as he looked at the teen, " this is about my family' s life not my own Ragnok and I fear for their secrets not my own."
Ragnok nodded in understanding, Ms Storm-Knight held many secrets in her vault not just money secrets and weapons and artifacts that would make many historians weep, "I swear I will keep everything a secret as I have kept your others, only two will know myself and the other will be of your choosing since Mackrank has past on."
Ceidhli smiled as she knew he spoke the truth, and will help protect the new secrets she had gathered, " well then Ragnok meet my heir Harry Potter." Ceidhli stated.
Harry was very confused about what was going on between his aunt and Ragnok but he had to laugh at the head manager who was a very dignified goblin who upon hearing the news slide off his chair while slipping his coffee. His face was filled with shock and amazement as he laid on the ground.
"That. . .that. . . Is impossible." Ragnok stammered out looking from Ceidhli to Harry who took off his skull cap and sunglasses and put on his regular glasses and smiled at Ragnok who was staring at Harry's scar that was now visible through his bangs.
"Nothing is impossible Ragnok, my boy. Harry's ancestor was my brother so he and his great-grandfather are my heirs."
"He doesn't know that Merlin is my brother Harry and he doesn't even know my name." Ceidhli told Harry silently, who nodded slightly in understanding
"Mr. Potter, do you know that being Ms. Storm- Knight heir you are know heir to all three lines. . ."
"Wait three?" Harry asked rubbing his forehead.
"Yes, Ms. Storm-Knights', the Potters, and the Blacks.
"Blacks?" Harry said quietly swallowing the lump in his throat he held a vision of Sirius falling through the veil before shaking himself out of it to listen to Ragnok explanation.
"Yes, even though the Ministry believed claimed Sirius Black a wanted man we still allowed him to make a will and stuff and he named you and a Remus Lupin as his heirs if any thing should happen to him. You are now richer than any wizard or muggle 50 times over." Ragnok said looking at the shocked boy and the amused looking angel.
"All this money can I use it whenever?" Harry asked, his mind numb he was richer than Malfoy.
"No, first to have the use of Ms. Storm-Knight's she must give you her permissions... "
"Which I do." Ceidhli said interrupting Ragnok, who ignored the statement and continued as if nothing happened.
"The Potter Vaults you share with your great grandparents and you can look at them and take valuables but you can't take any money out of them until you turn 17. The only vault you are allowed to is your trust one. The Black fortune which the majority was spilt between you and Mr. Lupin can be used now also, but it is the smallest.
Mr. Black had asked for some of the money to go to the Weasleys all of them have a trust a Ms. Hermione Granger also has one, his cousins Ms Tonks and Mrs. Tonks. There is a trust for Hogwarts to which he wrote for any damage he had done while in school and to Professor Dumbledore for helping him when he could."
"Wow why would he give me money?" Harry asked out loud looking at the wall as if it could give him an answer.
"Because he loved you and remember luv, if you don't take it, your proportion will go to the Malfoy's." Ceidhli said in answering his question quietly.
"What! No way in hell am I going to let those Death Eaters get Sirius's money. It's their fault he dead."
"Great, glad to know you are thinking so when Albus comes and tells you about the will and money you won't be shocked and give it all away by accident to a noble quest." Ceidhli said pleased by his vindictiveness.
"When is he going to tell me?" Harry asked looking to Ragnok who shrugged.
""Probably around your birthday." Ceidhli said thinking thoughtfully for a moment.
"Great something to look forward to - Yeah!" Harry exclaimed sarcastically.
"Sarcasm doesn't become you boyo." Ceidhli said sweetly, Harry stuck out his tongue at her, "real mature. " she mumbled before turning to Ragnok.
"Ragnok, I need you to open up vault 101 for me and allow three other people access to it. Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley, also hook them up with credit cards for the mortal London and pouches for each of them for the wizarding world. . .
"Ron and Hermione will never go for you buying their stuff, Ron is way too prideful . . . And doesn't like charity."
"Harry love don't worry I am going to hire them both actually all three of you so it won't be charity."
"Huh?"
"You, Ron, and Hermione, are going to be trained to be warriors in war and every warrior has to get paid for the training and participation, and I will pay you for your time." Ceidhli said simply looking at Ragnok who was writing down everything he needed to get done.
"Make sure they all have my id's to go with the cards, the ones that I created." Ceidhli told Ragnok who nodded and asked.
"Who will be getting the commission and working for you now?"
"Griphook." Harry stated, " he was always nice and I think he deserves it."
"Alright would you like to wait outside or in the office as this is getting done?"
"Outside." Harry said thinking of Ron, Ceidhli only nodded in agreement knowing he wanted to see Ron again.
"Alright it should be about twenty or so minutes for everything to be done." Ragnok said as he stood, Ceidhli and Harry followed and all three shook hands, " It has been a pleasure to finally meet you Mr. Potter and I hope we will be seeing more of you."
"The pleasure was all mine and yes you should." Harry said as he placed his sunglasses back on along with his skull cap and he changed from the boy-who-lived to a man of mystery again and he liked it. Together Ceidhli and Harry walked out back into the lobby where Harry saw that Ron and the other Weasleys were still there waiting for something, probably trying to figure out who Ceidhli is.
"Ceidhli is there any way for me to talk with Ron in his head like we are now? I really want to talk with him."
"Yep, all you do is think of Ron and being to talk like you are now. I will help you make the connection that you need for it."
Harry looked right at Ron who was standing a little a ways from his brother, Harry began to think about Ron whispering his name he didn't know if it was working until Ron began to look around for the source of his name being called.
"Ron, mate, don't freak out and don't say anything out loud." Harry said, "Or everyone will think you are nuts."
Ron looked around and began to freak out ignoring the voice when he didn't see anyone standing near him talking to or around him.
"Ron, it's me Harry believe me. All right remember at the end of the year we decided to have a catch phrase to know we are who we say we are so we wouldn't have to worry about Polyjuice potion remember . . . You need chaos in your soul . . ." Ron opened his mouth.
"Don't speak out loud Ron, speak through your mind. Think and it will come to me, I mean if you just start talking out loud everyone will think you are more nuts than you already are. . ."
"Okay I hope this work or it is going to waste a perfectly good rant." said Ron and then he took a deep breath and then . . . " WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING!!! HOW IS IT THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO SPEAK IN MY MIND? WHY AREN'T YOU ON PRIVET DRIVE?! WHERE ARE YOU ?! AND WHY HAVEN'T YOU WRITTEN ME OR HERMIONE ONCE THIS SUMMER.!!!" Ron screamed through the connection in to Harry's mind who flinched at Ron's yelling.
"Bloody hell Ron, I will tell you everything, if you can get away for a moment so we can talk face to face cause there is a lot I need to tell and talking mind talk is difficult enough. Plus I really need my best friend who won't freak out on me" Harry stated quickly trying to calm the red head down.
"I will tell tem I am going to the bathroom so I can leave for a minute or two as for not freaking, you should have gone to Hermione for that aspect of the trio." Ron stated turning towards his brother.
"Okay I will meet you next to the bathrooms." Harry said and whatever was connecting them was cut off so Ron was left with his own thoughts.
I am going to kill him for leaving the safety of Privet Drive then I am going to same how resurrect his ass and let Hermione and mum have ago at him. Ron thought of the things Hermione would do to Harry for getting himself into trouble and he smirked It was going to be fun to watch.
"Bill," Ron came right to his older brother's side, " I am going to the bathroom, I will right back okay?" Bill nodded and Ron walked across the lobby and turned the corner to head towards the bathrooms.
