11. The last Horcrux

Sirius Black or Lord Black as he was known as the last descended of the Black Family, had, as Lord of his Family, great power apon the other members of the Family.

He could disinherit his relatives if in his opinion were unworthy, he could arrange who was going to be a heir if the person that was the real heir couldn't suffice to do what was needed and could arrange marriage for them. But more importantly he could get into their vaults.

Sirius had to admit that as much as he hated to be the Lord of the Black Family, that was one of the times he was glad he was.

And now here he was. In front of the building that was housing Gringhots' Bank.

He started walking. He climbed the stairs and nod at the two goblins. He sensed someone behind him but he remained calm. He knew who it was.

James was adamant about it. And Moody for that occasion was a great accett. And of course Sirius did need back up so he didn't protest. He went to a counter.

"Good morning!" said pleasantly like nothing was wrong. Ironic.

The goblin raised his head from the paper in his desk that was reading before Sirius talk to him. "Good morning Mr. Black. What can I do for you?"

"I would like to have statements about my relatives' vaults and mine too. And I would like to see them after we finish with the statements" answered Sirius with a superior look that was suited for a Black.

The goblin looked at him for a long moment and then he stand up and said "Follow me, Mr. Black."

They went to an office and the goblin said to him to sit down and wait. Sirius waited with the clock ticking behind the wooden desk with the black leather chair.

"Good morning, Mr. Black." a voice said from behind him. Sirius jumped.

"Good morning, Baldock." said Sirius.

"Sorry for scaring you. What can I do for you today?"

"It's ok, Baldock. I came to see statements of my relatives vaults and their vaults. As mine of course. It's something that I need to have done years ago but I didn't have the time." He said sheepishly.

"I see. Shall we proceed?" was Baldock's answer as he open a drawer of his desk.

An hour later Sirius left Baldock's office with a goblin named Ragnong to begin the tour to the vaults.

They passed the door with the tunnel that had the carts that lead to the vaults.

As they walked to the carts a voice said "Imperius".

Sirius looked behind him.

Moody was pointing his wand at Ragnong. Sirius raised his eyebrows. "That wasn't needed." he comment.

"Actually. It was." said James' voice from behind Moody.

"Potter is right" grunted Moody.

"Whatever" said Sirius.

He went to the carts. Moody and James' figure behind him. Last was Ragnong.

First was the Malfoy Vault. Everything looked fine. Next station was his Vault that as he knew was ok. And finally was the Lestrange Vault.

After Ragnong get them inside the vault Sirius turn to the figure of his friend. "Now what?" he asked him.

"It's Rowena Ravenclow's cup. It has a raven craved apon it. Look for it."

They started looking around with their wands lit up.

"Is that it?" asked Sirius after a few minutes of silence.

James' figure went beside him "No."

"Are you sure, Harry?" Sirius asked the image of his best friend.

'James' glared at him. "Yes, Black. I'm sure."

Sirius flinched at the use of his surname.

Harry looked around and start walking along the selves in the walls of the vault. Crowns, staffs made of gold, vases, necklaces made of gold or pearls, golden plates, spoons and forks, silver knives, silver swords, cups...

Wait! Cups?

He looked at the cups. Some were silver, some were gold, some bronze. Others were small, some big and others had medium size.

A cup of medium size, bronze, caught his eye. He stepped closer to examine it. It looked old and had a raven curved apon it.

"That's it" said Harry with James' voice. Sirius and Moody came closer.

"Are you sure Potter?" asked Moody.

"Yes" answered Harry positive.

Sirius took the cup in his hands and put it in his pocket. "Ok. Let's go".

They left the Vault and climb at the cart. Moody and Harry put their invisibility cloaks on. They past the doors to the main bank. And they walked the long road between the counters with a few goblins look at them weird and went outside the bank.

Sirius sigh with relief. They have done it!
