My Mate

Chapter 8

Informing Gringotts

Harry had thought on what Severus told him for what seemed like hours after he woke up, he decided to take his advice. Getting a piece of paper he wrote his letter out on a normal Muggle pen and piece of paper. His things were under the stairs as usual and he had no way of getting them - he couldn't use magic outside of school.

I'm writing to demand my vaults to be frozen until I come of age; I want no one other than myself - Harry James Potter able to access them. I also want anything taken out in the past fourteen years that wasn't requested by me or my parents put back. Which includes EVERYTHING including money. People have been accessing my vaults without permission and I am gravely disappointed in Gringotts for such an oversight. I've also never gotten a single statement, I would like one delivered today at your earliest convenience. I also want to know everything I have from homes to how much I have. As long as no one else gets to take anything from my vaults again I will overlook this transgression. I know Sirius Black has gained access to my vaults, he is supposed to be a wanted convict so he shouldn't have been able to access my vaults.

If it's possible I would like you to become the manager of the Potter vaults, I do not trust anyone else to do this. Especially considering I've not had any correspondence or statements from Gringotts before this. The old manager of the Potter vaults will be fired if you can do this I want it done.

Harry James Potter

Last Heir to The Potter Estate.

Harry didn't have to wait long for a reply, thankfully the reply came when his Aunt and Uncle were out. He didn't want to think of their reactions to an owl coming, he could barely stand it during the night. He wouldn't have seen the light of day, much like the poor owl if his Uncle had seen it. He also knew his Uncle would have read the letter, and that was something he seriously didn't want. If his Uncle found out about his money…he would try and take every penny of it. Not that Harry was about to let him of course.

Mr. Harry Potter

We are Gringotts are grievously sorry for such an oversight. We shall do as you requested immediately. Unfortunately, we weren't aware that you're signatures had been forged. Albus Dumbledore had control over your vaults until you came of age. Which by the way happened a year earlier - you are a very powerful young man and we at Gringotts are happy to do your bidding.

I have done as you asked; I am now the manager of the Potter vaults. I have also been in touch with the king of the Goblin world and he has been made aware of your predicament. He will deal with Grimbly the manager of your vaults as he sees fit. Thievery isn't tolerated in Gringotts especially not by one of our own. I will keep you updated on this subject, but just know everything has been done as you demanded.

The next page will show all transactions and items that have been removed; we shall magic them back into the vaults they were removed from. Enclosed also are re-makes of your keys, just in case you don't have them. Theses new keys will stop old ones working, so you can dispose of all old ones if you have them.

You also are next in line for the Black vaults, if you do not accept them they will be passed on to Draco Malfoy or Bellatrix Lestrange. If you accept them all you need to say is 'I Harry James Potter do herby accept the Black vaults and become forever more known as Harry James Potter Black'. The keys for the Black vaults will also be given to you if and when you accept your place.

May the God's grant you more gold

Gringotts Manager of the Potter vaults

"Well I'll be damned" said Harry greatly surprised, unable to believe HE Harry Potter was next in line for the Black fortune. This would mean he was the owner of Grimmauld Place. He could chuck the Order out whenever he felt like it. Or if they kept pushing him all the time, it would be a good thing to keep over Dumbledore. He needed somewhere to keep the Order meetings going; he shook those thoughts off and quickly said the words that would make him officially Harry James Potter Black.

"I Harry James Potter do herby accept the Black Vaults and become forevermore known as Harry James Potter Black" a sneer graced his lips. He wondered how his godfather would like that, he would get him back for dare give away his property to his best friend. He would never forgive his godfather; he would have done months ago if it weren't for Severus. Severus made him see that such actions shouldn't be forgiven, helped him see that Sirius Black didn't care for him. Not in the way a godfather should, he had spoken a lot with Severus. Although he had not told him the most important thing of all - he was the boy who lived. He was sure Severus had worked it out by now, if not then he didn't really care. He had told him off the conversations he had with Sirius, about how he had been compared to his father. Severus had been furious with that, and it helped Harry in a way nobody else ever had.

He came to realize he had a lot of properly spread all over the world. In France, Paris. Italy, Rome. Germany, Caribbean, America, Scotland. A few properties in England - Godric's Hollow (birth place of Godric Gryffindor) and a manor which was under the Fidelus spell. Harry couldn't understand why his parents hadn't chose to go there, but he didn't dwell on things he would never get an answer too. Ireland, Switzerland, Jamaica, Egypt he noticed they were all secluded places mostly.

Godric's Hollow had never been rebuilt - it became a monument. Somewhere that people could look at, where Harry Potter had defeated Voldemort. It was also a place where people could go to and say their goodbyes to Lily and James Potter. It left a bitter taste in his mouth, Muggles couldn't see it though. It had been a Muggle area which indeed did surprise him completely. Ironically enough there were a lot of Wizards and Witches living there.

Harry put his key's into a rag and wrapped them up, and placed them beside his wand. Making sure they were safe, from falling though the pipes completely. All his magical things were under the floorboard, his cloak, wand, photo album and now his keys and bank statements.

He under no circumstances wanted his uncle to find out about them. His distaste for magic surely didn't extent to magical galleons/ money.

He did his chores for the day, keeping the place extremely clean hoping his Uncle wouldn't beat him. The potions had been a life saver this summer, as his Uncle was worse than ever - Vernon Dursley did NOT like being told what to do - especially from 'Freaks of nature' like his nephew.

Later that night when his family did return, their spirits were high and Harry stayed out of their way. He was 'let out' to use the toilet which he did and quickly went back. Thankful that his Uncle was in a good mood, they didn't hear the owl that came by and dropped off another letter in Harry's room.

Mr. Harry James Potter Black

Congratulations on accepting your place as the heir of the Noble and most Ancient House of Black. Enclosed you will find a statement of your holdings and keys. Everything has been put on hold until you come in, all moneys and transactions. You will therefore decide which ones will continue and which ones you want stopped.

Gringotts Manager of the Potter and Black Vaults.

Harry grinned in amusement, Grimmauld Place was there, and he wondered absently what transactions were being made on a daily basis. He would find out one day, he wasn't in a rush to go not that he could. Dumbledore unfortunately still ruled his life, until he was seventeen there was nothing he could do about it. He wondered what Severus would think of his dealings with Gringotts. He couldn't wait to see him again and tell him, he wondered silently how long Severus would even want to talk to a young boy. That was after all what he was, Severus was older than him - he didn't understand why he continued to talk to him really. However, Harry was thankful for the company no matter what. He hoped and prayed that Severus continued to want to be his friend - he didn't have anyone else. Ron and Hermione weren't really friends. A sigh left his lips he missed the old days where he could at least pretend they were his friends. Then he would remember Ron's letter and fury would rush though him.

He would make them regret ever messing with him - they would be sorry he would make sure of it. Finally he realized just how powerful he was, he had more money than anyone else and he was going to use his fame and money to do things his way. The knowledge that his things would be put back in his vaults made him smirk in amusement. He wondered if Ron would tell him about 'his' missing broom. It wasn't Ron's as far as Harry was concerned it was his fathers and he hated Sirius Black and Ronald Weasley! He put that letter beside his others and quickly fell asleep. A smirk remaining on his face as he slept feeling better than
