VERNONS IDEA
Two and a half weeks had past since Harry was rescued, The Lives of many families had changed.
Vernon had just been quietly listening for this time. He could see they were looking in the wrong places to start taking down their nemesis. So after dinner one night he started asking questions. "Sirius. Do you have any Idea, how Dumbledor Pays for all this? He must have a great deal of money?" Sirius looked pensive. "I don't really know. The Dumbledors were never known as a very rich family." Vernon asked A new One. "Who has been in charge of the Potter accounts the last four years, not to mention the businesses?" A light went off in Sirius head. "That old...Dumbledor was set up as Harry's Magical Guardian, He couldn't remove money from Harry's accounts. But he could put himself on the board of all the company's in the Potter Trust. That alone could pay him millions, with out doing a thing. Plus being paid for Harry's up bringing." "OKAY!" Vernon said "We need to remove him from all positions of power within those companies! The Goblins are your bankers right? I'm sure they have forensic accountants get them to back check all his actions see what he has been up too!" Sirius smiled with a wicked grin. "I think, we go see Ragnok in the morning! Thanks Vernon, I would have never thought of that. Harry will need to sign the papers, And we can get the Goblins To handle his investments until He can take over himself. Vernon your a genius!" "Not really The news of we what do you call us, Muggles. Has stories of this type all the time. Its called, follow the money."
The next morning started the hunt down the money trail. Sirius and Harry showed up at the bank at nine o'clock. They saw Ragnok at ten. They walked in to Ragnoks office and Sirius started. "Hello my old friend, may your gold flow and your enemies fall in blood at your feet." When a wizard uses a Goblin greeting you can bet its important. "Sirius may your children be many and your enemies fell your wrath. Now, how can I help you today" Sirius looked at the goblin. "Is Dumbledor, still In charge of the Potter accounts?" Ragnok smirked. "He has yet to be removed by Lord Potter." Sirius Smiled "Thats a start, we also want every transaction he has done with in, or for any company has worked with or belonging to the Potters, we of course would pay all normal fees for this service. He would also be removed from all companies the Potters own, No matter the capacity. We are also also friends of the Goblins, I am taking up my seats in the wizengomot, And Harry is Appointing his proxies. We are sponsoring legislation To establish equal rights for all magical creatures and are going to do all we can to push it through." Ragnok looked at his old friend. "If you get that pushed through... We will do the accounting free and charge any crimes found by Goblin law!" Sirius smiled knowing what that meant. "Then Shall we sign the papers and get started!"
Quills in hand Harry was signing his name for an hour. Remus was taking the werewolf cure tonight so he could be his Proxie, since it was three weeks to the next wizengomot. They left happy, Sirius and Harry dropped in on Madame Bones and the press caught there pictures. Dumbledor was going to be so pissed.
An owl from Gringgotts arrived at the castle of Hogwarts head table at the lunch hour. It dropped the parchments in front of Dumbledor and flew off.
Dumbledor looked at the seal wondering what it could be. He open the parchments as he read the Magic rolled og him in anger. It read.
Albus Dumbledor,

You have been removed from all Potter businesses, Your accounts have been placed in stasis, until the investigation concludes, You may not enter your vaults or use any funds contained within them until the conclusion of this investigation.

Albus was angry, beyond angry.
He was totally broke.
When they found out how much he had embezzled, he would be finished. How could he keep working toward his greater good if this came out.
