The next few days were a flurry of activity at the Burrow as Hermione prepared for her trip to Australia. Always the organised one, she was going a little crazy about whether she had packed everything or not and Ron had to literally drag her out of her room for breakfast as the four of them were going to the Ministry and then to Diagon Alley. Mrs Weasley once again fussed over them, tell them to be safe and wary of their surroundings. When Ron quipped about there being two Aurors with them for protection, Mrs Weasley started screaming at him and it took her husband quite a while to calm her down.

Once the group had finished breakfast and Mrs Weasley was satisfied that they could look after themselves, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Mr Weasley flooed to the Ministry where they appeared in the Atrium. Harry was trying to get to the lifts as inconspicuously as possible but soon enough, he was noticed by someone and shouts of "Harry Potter!" went around the atrium and the five of them were suddenly surrounded by people wanting to congratulate him and reporters wanting to ask questions. Mr Weasley was trying to ward off the reporters, while Harry just kept his hand outstretched to try and shake the hand of as many people as possible.

By the time the group got to the lift, it had been ten minutes since they stepped into the Atrium. Mr Weasley decided to bring Hermione and Ginny with himself to the Portkey Office in the Department of Magical Transportation while Harry and Ron went to the Apparition Test Centre in the same department.

On the way there, Harry asked something that had popped into his head whilst they were getting mobbed in the Atrium. "So, Ron how was your first experience with fame?"

"Uh well… Look mate, I always was jealous that I was just the friend of the famous Harry Potter, but now that I'm famous too, it's not all what it seems" replied Ron sheepishly.

"Good for you, mate" said Harry, clapping his back as they entered the test centre.

"Good morning. Names, please" asked the witch at the entrance

"Ron Weasley and Harry Potter" Upon hearing their names, the witch looked up with a jerk, dropped her quill on the floor and her ink on her parchment as she was fumbling around. After she was done cleaning up, she looked at the two heroes with a red face before leading them inside to take their tests.

Once the two of them had successfully apparated and the witch made their licenses, albeit with more confidence than before, the two of them walked to the portkey office to see if Hermione was done with her paperwork so they could apparate to Diagon Alley.

Once they saw that Hermione was done with her paperwork, the four of them went back to the Atrium and flooed to George's shop. Brushing of the soot, they were met at the fireplace by none other than Angelina Johnson.

"Hey Angelina, what are you doing here?" asked Harry.

'Harry!" she exclaimed when she saw him and ran up to give him a hug before saying "George asked me to work at the store with him a few days ago. I didn't have a job yet so I agreed."

As she was saying that, George walked into the back and welcomed them before asking, "What brings you to Diagon Alley? I didn't need your help today"

"We're not here to work at your store. Harry has some business at Gringotts" replied Ron.

"Oooh sounds serious. Are the goblins pissed because you stole their dragon?" joked George.

'No, Bill assured Harry it's not that" replied Hermione.

"Still sounds serious. Better get going then, I've got some business with Angelina so show yourselves out and come back here when you're done to floo back home" quipped George.

'I'm sure you have business with Angelina, Georgie" said Ginny with a wink as they exited the shop. George face turned as red as his hair before he saluted Ginny and gave her a wink as well.

As the foursome made their way to the bank they looked around Diagon Alley to see that it was almost back to its former glory, and all the wonder it held to Harry on his first visit her was still there.

As the entered the bank, the two goblins at the door bowed deeply, recognising who they were. The sounds of the goblins working softened as all of them looked up from their work to look at the four heroes. Harry could feel many eyes watch him as he walked towards the counter. But before he could reach there however, an elderly Goblin approached him.

"It is such an honour to meet you, Mr Potter, how may he bank be of service to you and you friends?"

"I've been asked to come in to discuss my account. I'm not sure why, though"

"Ah yes. Although I'm afraid your friends will have to wait in the lounge. Bank regulations, you see."

"We'll wait in the lounge for you Harry" Said Hermione before lowering her gaze to look at the goblin "Sir, we would like to apologise for any trouble that we caused you during our recent break- in. If there is anything we can do for the bank, please don't hesitate to ask"

"You are very kind, miss. I have to admit that the goblins were not pleased after your break- in, but after talking to your Goblin Liaison Officer and the Minister himself, we understood the circumstances better and decided to not to charge the three of you"

"Thank you" said Ron on behalf of all three of them, a tone of relief evident in his voice.

"Shall we go then" said the goblin pointing Harry towards a door on the right of the counter where he would usually go. Harry nodded his response before kissing Ginny goodbye and following the goblin to the door. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw another goblin leading his three companions to the lounge.

Once inside the room, Harry saw that the walls were lined with many filing cabinets that contained many stacks of parchment. There was a similar stack of parchment placed on the circular table in the centre of the room, where the goblin led Harry to and they both took a seat before the goblin began.

"As you know Mr Potter, you inherited the full will of your parents when you came of age…"

"I didn't know that" replied Harry, surprised. "I thought all the gold I had was in Vault 687"

"Oh that is not true. In case of untimely deaths, it is normal for rich wizarding families to not allow their children to use their full inheritances until they come of age. Your parents arranged such a thing with the bank, and the amount of gold in your current vault is just the amount your parents saw fit to give you until you came of age"

"So how much money do I really have?" asked Harry, a little bit apprehensive.

"Well, the Potter's were a fairly rich family, so the amount of gold in your family's vault is about 7 million Galleons. However, the Potters did not own much in the name of properties, so apart from the house in Godric's Hollow and the Potter Estate there are no properties you own."

"Do you know the condition of the Potter Estate?" asked Harry, thinking about how wonderful it would be to live there with Ginny after she graduated.

"Yes sir. Your parents put a freezing charm of it before they went to Godric's Hollow, so it should be how they left it"

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes sir. Your parents also left you the Potter family jewels, and their engagement and marriage rings"

Upon hearing that, all sorts of images of him proposing to Ginny flew through his mind, but he put them aside to consider at a later time and replied "That's great!"

"Now, moving on to the Black inheritance which was left to you by your godfather Sirius Black. The Blacks were extremely rich, and the gold in that vault amounts to 25 million Galleons" Harry was left dumbfounded upon hearing the amount, and could not think of what he wanted to do with all the gold until he got a brilliant idea that left him wondering about all sorts of possibilities.

The goblin continued "Besides, the gold the Blacks also own a number of buildings on Diagon Alley and a number of properties around Britain. They also a number of artefacts, which have been kept safe in the vault. All the information you need will be in these folders. Now, sir would you like to make any transactions right now?"

Harry thought for a while before answering "Please combine all the money in the two vaults into one. Then, I would like to put my current vault into Teddy Lupin's name and Andromeda Tonks should be allowed to withdraw from it. Then, please create three new vaults in the names of Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and Ginny Weasley and transfer a hundred thousand galleons to each of those three vaults. Please transfer another one hundred thousand to the vault of Arthur and Molly Weasley. All artefacts should be checked for dark curses and if they are dark, dispose of them accordingly. Right now I would like to make a withdrawal of hundred galleons, and would like to take a look at my family vault now, if possible"

The goblin, who was taking notes of everything Harry said looked up and replied "Certainly sir" before leading him behind the counter where they awaited the cart that would bring them to his family vault.

After a very fast and bumpy ride, they arrived at vault number 687 where the goblin informed Harry that all the changes had already been made. When Harry went inside, he was pleasantly surprised to see that the vault was much bigger, and besides the pile of Galleons, Sickles and Knuts there was a small table which had 3 large jewellery boxes and one small one. Harry opened the small one first, as he suspected it contained his parents' ring. Inside, he saw a note a instead of three, there were four rings. The note read:

Dear Harry,

If you are reading this, what we have been fearing has happened. We just hope we were able to save you. Now, inside these boxes you will find the Potter family jewels, which you can give to anyone you desire, but please make sure that in their last will and they return them to the Potters. In this box, you will find the promise ring your father gave me as a sign of his love for me, my engagement ring and our wedding rings.

If we are not here to tell you this, just know that your father and I love you, son.

Love,

Mum

Harry had tears in his eyes as he finished reading the letter, and thinking about his mum and dad he realised he needed to go to Godric's Hollow soon. Picking up the boxes of jewellery, he headed out where the goblin was waiting for him with his money bag. They headed out of the vault, and the goblin handed Harry his key back before they endured another excruciatingly bumpy ride back to ground level where Harry met up with Ron, Ginny and Hermione.

'So, what happened Harry? Anything wrong with your vault?" asked Hermione.

"No it's much better actually. Here, look" he replied as he handed Hermione the transaction summary page out of the file. As she quickly read through its contents, she gasped at the amount.

"Blimey Harry! I knew you were rich… but this is just incredulous!" said Ron.

"Yes it is. Which is my I've decided to spread the money around a little. You three are now the proud owners of Gringotts vaults already containing a hundred thousand galleons" said Harry with a smirk.

All of them gasped, and then Ginny leapt into his arms to give him a huge kiss which he returned with equal fervour and enthusiasm. They broke apart after a full minute before his two best friends leapt at him at the same time, almost knocking him over.

"This is too much Harry…" began Hermione, but before she could complete, Harry had cut her off and said "Don't even start. You two have done more than all the Galleons in Gringotts could repay. You risked your life to help me. I can't thank you enough"

"Well, thanks mate" replied Ron, red in the face.

"Reckon we should start paying rent now" said Harry trying to lighten the mood. All of them laughed before he continued "I'm not done giving back. I will be asking your mum to organise sort of a party for all the Weasley family once Hermione comes back from Australia and I want to give all you something. I've got a plan and reckon we should invite Neville and Luna as well"

"You've given enough Harry" said Ginny, putting and adoring hand on her boyfriend's cheek.

"No. what's amazing is what everybody's done for me. You guys gave me something I thought I would never have. A family. And if you want, invite your parent Hermione"

"I'll ask them. Thanks again"

As Harry walked back into the Burrow, a plan had already formulated in his mind about just how he was going to give back. Life just got a whole lot better.
