Hey everyone I hoped you liked the last chapter. Again I mention this is a challenge from The hazel-eyed bookworm.

Talking: "Hello"

Thoughts: 'Hello'


Harry knew he had to get away from Privet Drive as fast as possible. He could think of only one option at the moment, the Knight Bus. So dreading the journey he started walking to Magnolia Crescent.

When Harry finally reached Magnolia Crescent he pulled out his wand from his pocket and held it out in front of himself. After a few seconds he heard the tell-tale bang of the Knight Bus arriving. When it stopped in front of him the door opened and Stan stepped out.

"Good morning, welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard in need. Just hold out your wand hand, then step on board and we'll take you anywhere you want to go. My name is Stan Shunpike, and I will be your conductor this evening." Stan read from a card.

"How much does it cost to ride from here to the nearest Gringotts," Harry asked in a curious tone.

Stan replies, "Eleven sickles from here to Gringotts."

Harry knew he didn't have much time before the Order noticed he was missing, so he quickly paid and got on. Harry then walked to one of the beds on the bus and sat down.

Harry heard Stan saying to Ernie, the driver, to head to Gringotts. Stan then came to sit down. He looked at Harry and asked the question Harry had been dreading,

"What did you say your name was?"

Harry hesitated trying to think of a name to give him; he then heard a deep and somehow familiar voice in his head whispering the name 'Duncan'. Harry wondered what the voice was, but pushed the thought to the back of his mind and decided to go with the name the voice had whispered.

"Duncan. My name is Duncan." Harry said feeling a weird sense of déjà vu, and for some reason had a flash of what looked like him as a baby but with differences, in the vision he had blond hair not black and his eyes while still green glowed the color of the killing curse with his pupil being slit like a cat's eye.

The two spent the rest of the ride in silence. Stan thinking about an upcoming Quiddich match. And Harry thinking about the familiar voice and the flash he saw.


They finally arrived in front of Gringotts and the bus stopped and the doors opened and Harry got off. The Knight Bus immediately left with a bang of displaced air. Harry looked around to see if anyone recognized him and upon seeing that no was even looking at him, he hurried up the steps into the bank.

Harry stopped outside the bank and nodded once to the goblin guards next to the doors, the two guards looked surprised but nodded politely back to him.

Harry once inside the bank looked around to see if anyone he recognized was there, he didn't see anyone but he did see goblins lining the walls. He thought nothing of it and immediately moved toward the goblin tellers and stopped in front of the closest teller. When he got to the teller, he waited patiently for the goblin to finish what he was doing and turn his attention to Harry.

When the goblin finally looked at him, he looked at him with some surprise because of Harry waiting for the goblin to finish.

The goblin looked at him and said with a small sneer, "How may I help you, wizard?"

Harry glanced around nervously and said,"I would like to speak to my account manager, Master Goblin."

The goblin replied calmly but with some surprise at the form of address," Very well wizard, but I will need your name."

Harry again looked around anxiously and said," My name is Harry Potter, sir."

The goblin again surprised at the level of respect the wizard was giving him said," Very well."

The goblin stretched his arm up and snapped his fingers twice; one of the goblins detached themselves from one of the walls and walked over. Harry looked at the goblin and recognized him saying the goblins name.

"Griphook," Harry asked?

Both the teller and Griphook looked at him in surprise. "Yes, that is my name. Though I am surprised that a wizard like yourself remembered my name. "Griphook said in a questioning tone of voice.

Harry replied with a small smile on his face, "Of course I remember you were the first goblin I had met when I had first entered into the wizarding world and the one that took me to my vault for the first time."

Griphook just nodded his head and said, "Follow me, I will take you to your account manager." He then started walking.

Harry followed him out one of the doors around the room, after he was lead from the room he was taken down a series of twisting and turning hallways. They finally stopped at what seemed to be a random door. Griphook knocked on the door and called something, in what Harry thought was Gobbledygook, and was answered in the same language by the person behind the door.

Griphook then opened the door and the room on the other side held a desk a few chairs and a fireplace above the fireplace hung an axe and sword. The goblin behind the desk looked similar to Griphook but his hair was more silvery in color and had a sneer on his face.

When Harry saw him he bowed his head and said in a clear voice, "Well met Master Goblin, may your gold forever grow and your enemies tremble before you."

The goblin's face showed surprise for a split second before he masked it and replied, "Well met to you as well Mr. Potter, may your gold increase and your enemies forever fear you. Please have a seat. Griphook you may leave. I am BloodTooth, how may I help you today?"

"I'm here to receive an inheritance and family tree test.", Harry replied in a steady voice after walking to a chair in front of BloodTooth's desk and sitting down.

"Very well, but there are some matters that we must discuss first. The first of which is answering the question of why you haven't answered any of our missives sent to you.", BloodTooth stated.

"What missives?" Harry questions in a confused voice.

BloodTooth looks up at him sharply from where he was looking over papers on his desk and questions in a sharp voice, "Do you mean to say that you have not received any of the owls we have sent to you since you reentered the wizarding world when you were eleven?"
