A/N I don't own anything of Harry Potter's world. I just play with it for my personal satisfaction.

Chapter 4

Hello Voldy.

First of all I'm fine. And, thank you for sending me Nagini. She was very helpful. I will send her back first thing tomorrow. By the way, she says "hi" to you.

I know you would die (oops wrong choice of word) you would kill somebody to know what happened (I've a few names for you, if you need).

Well I apparated at the bank as you told me, with Nagini. She made a nice necklace. (Stop preening yourself Nagini)

I went one hour before the time of the reading.

I asked for my manager. He was quite surprised to see me. I took an infinite pleasure in seeing his face when I revoked him in front of others goblins for ill-management. He was sputtering everywhere when he was taken away by his peers.

Nagini wants me to I send you my memories. Why not?

Well, after this I asked a goblin of my knowing to be my manager. Then we went to an office. I won't describe it, I don't want to make you sleep.

Stop it, Nagini! I don't care if he needs some sleep. This description is so boring that I will fall asleep simply by writing it.

So, in the office, Griphook gave me a statement of my vaults. He told me that the withdrawals were made by my magical guardian Albus Dumbledore, and so I couldn't retrieve the stolen money.

I nearly blew up the office. Thanks to Nagini I calmed down. She suggested a book for me to ask for, from the goblin.

As I did, he looked at me quite surprised. Then he watched Nagini and said (here I quote) "I'm astonished you knew quite enough about wizarding traditions to ask this book of rituals precisely. You have a wise adviser, Lord Potter".

Can you believe it? I'm a Lord, with capital L. I didn't know that I was from the "Ancient and Noble House of Potter" Lord of the House! I hold a Winzengamot seat. Well, it's Dumbledore who holds the position. F***g old goat!

I know Nagini. I'm breathing. In, out. Ok I'm calm enough.

Well. Griphook asked me to follow him. He led me to a library.

Did you even know they had a giant library in Gringott? Yes Nagini, I stop digressing. Stop nagging.

The goblin gave me a book, indicating that, the ritual I needed was on page 458. I took the book "Ancients traditions and What every pureblood need to know" and looked at the page. It was about retrieving goods wrongly taken from vaults. It was considered a dark ritual but I knew Gringott has wards to impede the Ministry to monitor what occurs inside.

Before you ask, the ritual invokes the memory of the vault to retrieve the goods stolen. As all vaults in a family are linked together, I only needed to go to one vault for the ritual to work on every vaults I own.

So I took the book, ask the for a ritual dagger and went with Griphook to the only vault I knew. There I slash a cut inside my hand. As blood pooled inside I chanted the ritual.

Nagini coached me before. Did I ever tell you she's an incredible teacher?

Making complicated things simple, the vault walls glowed blue and my things began to come back.

Well there was more than my things. It seems that the money that wasn't spent came back. But if the money had been spent, the purchases done with my money went in as well. Even if I don't have any sense of fashion I wouldn't buy a pink dress!

Nagini, stop laughing!

It seems that only the money spent in food didn't go back. I even have the deed of property of the Burrow! (Insert here: Maniacal grin)

I think a few people have been without clothes just before the reading. (Insert here: hysterical laugh)

After that, I went back to the office with Griphook. I asked him a knew statement of my vaults and while he was doing that, I waited for the reading of Sirius' will leafing through the book.

That book is a mine of knowledge!

Well, I will leave it here because Nagini and I are going to eat something.

Bye.

You suborner of snakes! What did you do to my sweet Nagini? Since I received her this morning she's pouting. I can't believe MY snake is POUTING! You are so DEAD!

Yes Nagini, I'm threatening him. No I'm not going to kill him right now so stop nagging. I'm just going to wait two months. Yes Nagini I'm breathing. In, out. Ok I'm calm.

Well, you did well with your money. As I thought the old coot is your magical guardian. Did you fill the papers to be emancipated? You didn't forget, right?

Nagini says "hello sweet snakeling". Argh, I'm going to be sick with all the mushiness!

Hi Voldy, Hi Nagini. I miss you.

I'm talking to Nagini, you old pervert!

For your information, I was so overwhelmed by the things that I've seen in my vault, that I nearly forgot. Thanks Merlin for Nagini being there. She remembered and she told me to ask.

So I asked Griphook, how I would have to proceed to be emancipated. He told me, about the files to fill and the memories to record as evidences. He told me that if my case was consistent it would go fast.

I filled the papers with Nagini's help and I recorded the memories. Once that done, everything disappeared to the Ministry.

Just as I went to the reading, an owl brought me the answer of the Ministry.

I'm glad, happy and honored to tell you that I'm emancipated. I'm the proud Lord of the Ancient and Noble House of Potter, owner of a Wizengamot seat. Take that old goat! (Insert here: Evil grin)

You've got a MOSQUITO BRAIN.

How could you nearly forget your emancipation? Even a goldfish has more memory than you. It's a wonder you had enough to prove mistreatment!

No Nagini, I'm not insulting him, I'm stating the truth. And NO, I'm NOT caring about him. Stop the pouting immediately. I'm not changing my mind!

She's giving me a headache! It's ALL your fault, you empty headed of a Gryffindor,! (Insert here: annoyed growl)

So, what happened during the reading?

Yes Nagini I'm writing. She says: "Hello Snakeling. I miss you too. I hope..."

That's enough! I'm not your owlpost!

Ok, Ok! Stop threatening me! She says "Hello Snakeling. I miss you too. I hope I will see you soon in good health. I hope too that we could spend some quality time together as we already did."

I'm going to puke. I don't want to know what you did together. That's so sick.

Wait Nagini, stop threat... What? WHAT?

WHY, IN F***G MERLIN'S NAME, IS MY SNAKE CALLING HERSELF YOUR ADOPTIVE MOTHER?
