Harry had entered the meeting room for the first time and was awed by the sheer elegance. The room was lit by the several lamps moving along the walls, the room itself was huge and a rich blue colour adorned the walls. The carpets were blue too, but were embroidered with gold and silver. There was a long table in the centre of the room, the wood was Mahogany, polished with great precision, and the chairs were plush, with blue cushions. The goblin asked him to take a seat, enquired if he would like some refreshments, when Harry politely declined refreshments and thanked him for showing around; the goblin nodded formally and walked off to fetch Gormuk.

Once his escort was gone, Harry looked around and noticed that there were several portraits on the walls. The one portrait that stood was of a man with white messy hair which stuck out at odd angles. The portrait smiled at him as Harry read the name 'Lord Charlus Potter (1918- 1978), Head Auror, Auror Department, Department of Magical Law Enforcement (1955- 1978)'. Harry's eyes went wide; he was looking at the portrait of his grandfather, before he could confirm this with the portrait a voice called his name from behind him. Harry turned and found two Goblins standing behind him. The older and more dignified Goblin stepped forward and introduced himself as Gormuk in a crisp no-nonsense tone, the younger goblin Griphin was his apprentice and would take over as the manager of the Potter Estate once Gormuk stepped down.

Harry smiled politely and shook hands with both the goblins were a little taken aback but nevertheless placed their grubby hands in his and shook them. Harry sat down as Gormuk opened a thick file and explained to Harry about his inheritance. "As the only living member of the Potter blood line, all estates belonging to the Potters go to you. I would be happy to inform you that all the businesses that the Potter family has invested in have been booming and their share is being duly put in the Potter family vault. Should you be interested in knowing in detail about all your business partnerships I would be happy to oblige but time is running short and we need to get a lot done. So for today I would give you a general standing of your accounts as well as the properties that you own. These would include:

i) Potter Manor, the ancient resident of Lord Potter

ii) the cottage in Godric's Hollow,

iii) Dragon Fire restaurant, Hogsmeade as well as Diagon Alley; it is currently being run by the Shelby family, Mrs. Danica Shelby was Lady Potter's manager and the management and maintenance of the restaurant has resided with her family since the demise of your father, the last Lord Potter, but the ownership resides with you. Your portion of the profit has been added to your vault over the years. Mr. Christopher Shelby requests you to let him run the business, apart from paying you your share in time, he has offered to permanently book a table under the name of Potter in both their branches. This however, would be your decision, should you wish to run the restaurant yourself, I would be happy to make the papers relieving Mr. Shelby of his duties and pay him reasonably for his services.
Harry's head reeled. The Dragon Fire was the fanciest restaurant in Hogsmeade and reserving a table itself cost 100 galleons as security deposit. Apart from the wealthy pureblood students, no Hogwarts student would have been able to secure a table at Dragon Fire, let alone eat the food and all this time Harry owned the freaking place. Gormuk continued speaking and Harry snapped back to the details.

iv) A flat at 112/55, Griffin Street, Hogsmeade.

v) A summer Villa at Brousse-le- Chateau, France

Now as I understand Mr. Potter, you also inherited all the Black property too; am I correct?"

"Yes" Harry replied his throat suddenly dry.

"Very well, you would be glad to know that all papers have been clarified, the black family vault has been transferred to your name, the businesses that the Black invested in have been doing well indeed and the money has again been added to the vault, should you want details I would be happy to fix another appointment; moving on the Black estate which include:

i) Black Manor, ancient resident of Lord Black

ii) 12, Grimmauld Place

iii) 3 shops in Diagon alley which have currently been leased to Flourish and Blotts, Magical Minagerie and Paula's potions

iv) A flat in London at 13/24, Diagon Alley.

v) A summer villa at Peloponnese, Greece

vi) A summer villa at Valencia, Spain

Apart from these you also inherited money. The current standing of the Potter Vault amounts to 100 billion galleons, apart from several antique and rare magical artifacts. The Black family account after deducting one million galleons each left by Mr. Sirius Black for Mr. Remus Lupin, Mr. Arthur Weasley and Mrs. Andromeda Tonks, stands at 73 billion galleons apart from the other antiques and rare magical artifacts."

Harry sat stunned; he knew the amount of money in his education fund was enough for him to spend the rest of his life comfortably, now he was swimming in gold. He had a mental image of Scrooge Mcduck swimming in his gold and he gave a shaky laugh and looked around the room. He saw his grandfather's portrait beaming at him and turned to Gormuk who was closing the file he was carrying. "Err..Mr. Gormuk?"

"Yes, Mr. Potter"

"Is that my Grandfather's portrait right there?"

"Well of course Mr. Potter, these walls contain the portraits of all Lord Potters. Don't you know the room you are in Mr. Potter?"

"Err… I thought this was a meeting room."

"It is a meeting room, Mr. Potter. It's the Potter family's private meeting room, Gringotts offers its old and important clients private meeting rooms so that they could come and go as they please. The bank also offers a separate estate manager whose sole work is to maintain the client's estates. My family has been responsible for the Potter family estates for generations. The private meeting rooms have a special feature; you see that door down there?"

Harry nodded, "Well that door opens up to a passage that leads you directly to your private cart which would take you to your vaults without the help of a Goblin. The old family vaults are protected by blood and Lordship. Thus, only Lord Potter can access the vaults, as the vault opens with the touch of this ring" Gormuk held up a gold ring, which had two lions sitting on both sides of the letter P and what Harry assumed was the Potter family motto "Sit amet, non fortior ausit alis" (Be honest, Be brave). He also showed Harry the Black family ring which had the Black family crest and motto "Toujours pur".

"This brings us to the issue at hand, since you are the last Potter and of age, you become the natural Lord of the Potter family estates. Please hold out the index finger of your right hand." Harry did as he was asked and Gormuk slipped the Potter family ring on his finger, the ring changed shape to adjust to his finger and glowed. Gormuk smiled "Well that makes you Lord Potter now, you don't have to wear the ring all the time, but you have to bring it along when you come to visit the family vault. I would leave the choice of accepting the black family ring on you as there is another family with the blood of the Blacks in them. Mr. Malfoy has the right to the family vault by being related through blood, should you wish, I could prepare papers to divide the property and among you or you could ask him to appoint you as Lord Black. The money and properties still go to you but Black family heirlooms and other treasures belong to Mr. Malfoy too."

"You can still access the vault the help of this ring and a certified Goblin. The black family vault currently houses Black family heirlooms and portraits; as the gold has already been transferred in your vault."

Harry nodded dumbfounded. He had no interest in Black family heirlooms; in fact he had no interest in anything that involved the Black family. He liked the idea of Sirius' flat in Diagon Alley but he didn't care much about anything else. He decided he would give a lot off to Andromeda and Teddy and maybe pass on everything else to Narcissa Malfoy, it might mean something to her.

While Harry sat musing, Gormuk finished the paperwork. "So, Lord Potter would you like to visit your vault? Before I forget the fire place at the end is connected through floo to the Potter Manor and every other Potter family estate. Just as the black private meeting room is connected with the Black family estates. Should you wish to visit any of the Manors, this might just be the way, as both Black and Potter Manors have anti- apparition wards and are so heavily protected that it's difficult to confirm the coordinates. The black family meeting room is down the hall, third door to your right."

"Can I have a minute to collect myself and think this through?"

"Of course, Mr. Potter; I would leave you alone to it. If you need me, press this sapphire here", Gormuk said pointing at the large sapphire at the centre of the table "And I would be here to assist you. Hope you have a pleasant time Mr. Potter" and with a final nod of his Gormuk left with Griphin in tow. Harry turned to his grandfather's portrait who grinned cheekily at him. He scanned the room, several portraits were empty, the others were watching him with interest and pride.
