Disclaimer: I do not own anything on Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling does.
When Remus saw the letter from Harry, he did not hesitate to go, thinking it might be related to Sirius's death and that he feels it more on his birthday. But he was not prepared to what he saw in the room.
"Harry?"
"Hi Remus, yes it's me. Surprise! Don't worry; I was as much surprise as you. But you might want to read the letter, it's a better explanation."
Elisabeth gave him her mother's letter. While Remus reads the letter, she looks at him to see his reaction. When he finished reading the letter, he looks at Elisabeth.
"Wow, Elisabeth. You look so much like Lily. But you also have some of your grandma Potter in you. I can't believe it. Why did they not tell us about it? I would never have betrayed them. But at the same time, it's good, since Peter doesn't know."
"So, what do you think we should do? What to tell the Order, Dumbledore? And I also have to go to Gringotts; they sent me a letter asking me to go see them."
"Ok, let's go to Gringotts first then, if we're lucky we might find the answers there."
Remus grabs one of Dudley broken games and create a portkey to Diagon Alley.
When they arrive in the Leaky Cauldron, before anyone could ask who she is, they walked to Gringotts. They went to a free goblin and shown the letter Elisabeth received. The goblin shows them to the office of the Inheritances.
"Ah yes, Miss De Vernay, I am happy to see you as your true self. And you must be Mr. Lupin. I did not send you a letter, because I knew you might come with her anyway. Okay, not only did I ask you to come for Mr. Black's will, but also from your parents and uncle. Dumbledore tried to destroy it because he did not want you to know about the Potter fortune. Luckily, he still does not know about the De Vernay's will. Okay as you may know, the De Vernay is a very important family in France. Being the only child from Mr. De Vernay, and him being an only child, you inherited everything from him: fortune and estate. If you don't mind me suggesting, after you leave here today, if you want to be protected, also from Dumbledore, you might want to go to one of your estates in France. Now, Mr. Potter could not have any child, so he gave you everything he had. James and Lily were the only children, but your grandfather did not know about Lily. Your grandmother hid her from him because he wanted only a son. With Mr. Black making you his sole heir, you now own all the Black fortune and estate. So with the three families together, let's just say, Miss, that you are the richest witch of your age. Even richer that the Malfoy's."
"Wow, I can't believe it. Can you show me which estate in France you were suggesting? I think I'll do just that. Do you know if there is a ward that would permit me to do magic without being detected."
"There is not, but because it is in France, and the underage stop at 16 there, the French ministry will protect you if anything. Also, because Mr. Black was your magical guardian, he asked for you to be emancipated. Here are the papers to sign."
The goblin handed the papers to Elisabeth that she signed immediately. As soon as they were signed, she felt the underage spell drift off of her wand.
"Ok, that's great. Are all the vaults here? Are there a Gringotts Office in France?"
"De Vernay's vaults are in France, in the Paris's Office. But because you are a big customer, both offices decided together to give you access to your money with a wizard card, just like the muggle credit card. But also you can pay by pressing your rings on a sale parchment in the shops. Speaking of this, here are your three rings."
He gives them to Elisabeth who puts the De Vernay's ring on her right hand ring finger, the Potter ring on her left hand ring finger and her Black ring on her left hand middle finger as instructed by the goblin. "Now that you wear the rings, I would disillusion the De Vernay one until after you kill Voldemort, outside of Gringotts offices. Now to Mr. Lupin, Mr. Black knew you would refuse anything from him while alive, so he decided to give you something in his will. He knew you could not refuse. Here is the key to your new vault. In a later date, there will be an official will reading, where I know Dumbledore will wish you, Miss De Vernay, not to be present, this is why I had to see you beforehand separately. Because of all the other estates that he had and knew you had from the Potter's, he decided that you did not need 12 Grimmault Place and gave it to the Order, and the library books to a Miss Hermione Granger. And some new vaults are given separately to different members of the Weasley family."
"Ok, I'd like to go see the vaults here if it is possible, please."
"Sure, I'll call a goblin to bring you there."
"Thank you" And they leave the office following a goblin to their vaults.
Hope you like it. Please review. I still don't have a Beta.
