"It would seem you are the last descendant of both the House of Kama on your mother side and the house of Sayre from your father. It also seems that you are the Heir of house Gaunt through a marriage far up your tree. Although them seems to be another Heir that has claimed that. Should anything happen to that Heir that line will fall to you as well."
Hermione nodded trying to think, would this still make her muggle born or would it give her a different title as she did have magical blood after all. Ragnok continued as another paper appeared in front of him.
"It would seem that the house of Kama has been dormmate for the last 150 years so with interest you have about 1.7 million galleons transferring from there as well as relics and other family treasures that will be brought over to your new vault. Sadly, the house of Sayre ended a little destitute they did have some gold, a few thousand galleons but the majority of the vault contents is in the form of books. They were a family that believed that knowledge was power, so they collected rare volumes. As a future friend of the hoard I would strongly suggest that you have a curse breaker run over all the new acquisitions before you touch any of them. Old families used to curse their belongings so that goblins could not touch them. Claiming that we were beneath them and should not touch thing that belong to their betters."
Hermione nodded again. "Seeing as we have been here for over an hour already lets go ahead and head down to my new vault to collect some money, I will ask the Hoard to hire one of your curse breakers to sus out any curses on my treasures, using the money that I received from the Kama family to pay for such service. When I come home from school for the holidays, I will look over what I have safely. Agreed?"
Ragnok and tony both nodded and stood.
Ragnok led them through the main hall to a door off to the side of the large door that everyone else seemed to be using. As they were walking through the main hall Hermione looked around and saw that no one waited for them from the group that they had come in with causing Hermione to snort before continuing walking with everyone else.
Ragnok waved them through the door before closing it behind them.
"Come, we will take the carriage. Normal wizards take the cart down, but you are getting the preferential treatment as you are now our largest account holder."
He led them to a black carriage that looked like it should have been pulled by horses, but it was on some kind of track. When everyone was in and seated Ragnok snapped his fingers again and they started moving. They were moving faster than they should have been able to but inside of the carriage you could not even tell.
"There are stabilizing charms on the carriage as well as some comfort charms on the seats and of course the standard speed charms as we are going quite deep. Going normal speeds, it would take us upwards of an hour to make it to the bottom. This way we will be there in 5 minutes."
5 minutes seemed to be accurate as they soon came to a stop where they could see only a few giant metal circles before the darkness blocked off the rest of the cavern. Ragnok stepped out and offered his hand to Hermione to help her out of the carriage. Tony did the same for Pepper after he got out.
"Miss Stark, if you place your hand on the door it will draw some of your blood linking you to this vault and as you leave today a dragon will be moved to this entry way to protect it."
Hermione placed her hand on the door while Tony was whining to Pepper about not being able to see the dragon. The door instead of opening disintegrated around her hand, leaving Hermione shocked and Tony saying that he wanted a door that did that.
"Sorry Mr. Stark but that is a goblin secret, even if you become a goblin friend, we have to keep some secrets. Now Miss. Stark this is a bottomless money bag, it will expand inside depending on how much you place in it, but it will always be the same size on the outside. It also is linked to your gold so you will never run out of money so long as you have money in your vault. You just need to place a few galleons in it to link it to your vault."
Hermione grabbed the bag and placed a handful for gold coins in the bag than the same with the silver and bronze ones. Before looking around seeing a large library in the back of the space and a bunch of gems and jewelry laying around. Yeah, she would definitely be back over the holidays, to sort that mess out.
"alright I think we are set with money, I do want to ask Ragnok do you know were all the fancy places to get her supplies are, they showed a lot of shops on the main road when we walked in but I know that to get the best of the best you don't go to the generic shops you go to specialty shops." Tony said to the goblin with a wink.
"You do not cease to surprise me Mr. Stark. There are some specialty shops for robes and her potions ingredients but the rest you just have to shop at the normal shops, some of them have something known as the Slytherin special that normally gets you the better quality things. Like the better cauldrons, or a full set of stir rods instead of buying them separate. Also Ask for the Gringotts special at the trunk shop, they will give you a multiple section trunk with all the protections for the price of the normal one as the owner is a friend of the hoard and will know you are as well."
Tony continued the conversation on the ride up and finished just as they made it to the top of the track.
"Well Miss. Stark I must say that today has been most fortuitus for both of us and I look forward to our next meeting. That being said I know that your guard is meant to be guarding all of you, but it would make you look far more important to the right people if he followed right behind you. Until we meet next may your gold flow and may your enemies fall on their swords." The goblin bowed his head again and left them in the main entry again.
"Well that was interesting. Now let's go spend some money!" Tony clapped his hands together as they walked out of the bank. "The professor said we had to get you a wand first than we could go to the other places. Seeing as we took so long there shouldn't even be a line!"
The group followed Tony as he walked over to Ollivanders, He turned around after he grabbed the door so he could open it for them. Pepper walked in first followed by Hermione with Happy following behind her taking the goblin's suggestion to make her look more important to the right people.
Just as Hermione walked in Mr. Ollivander walked out of the backroom. "Welcome, welcome, I thought I was done with the new wand crowd today, but it seems we have another. I do not seem to remember any of you so you my dear must be a muggle born. Let's see than, step up and put your wand arm out. Need to get some measurement from you."
He waved his wand at a tape measure that flew at Hermione to get all sorts of weird measurements like the distance between her eyes and the length from her nose to her chin. While it was taking the measurements the man himself was walking to the back of the store grabbing a bunch of boxes.
"here we are, give this one a wave, oak 12 and ¾ of an inch manticore hair core, unyielding. Great for one that needs a firm hand."
Hermione picked it up then placed it right back down.
"sir, if you think I need a firm hand because I am running later than the rest you are mistaken. I am running later than the rest because my business with the goblins ran longer than they were willing to wait. As such they are impatient, and you are being sort of rude to think that without any context."
"forgive an old man for such impressions Miss. Let me find you the proper wand." Mr. Ollivander set all the wands he had grabbed down and walked back to the back. When he came back, he had only one box with him.
"I believe you may be the owner of this wand. It was the last my father made before he passed, and it has been rather hard to find its owner." He handed it to her and rattled off the specks "13 ½ inch Vinewood with a dragon heartstring core from a nesting opaleye that went crazy when poachers stole her eggs. Lovely creature had to be put down. Perfect match would be a kind person with a will of steel, Intelligent and caring but will not take an insult sitting down."
Hermione grabbed the wand and it felt like the wand grabbed her heart back. Brilliant purple sparks shot from the end of the wand. Hermione heard Mr. Ollivander going on about her being a perfect match.
"Now I would normally not offer this to a first year but the dragon that your core came from also had her scales donated and we made holsters from it. I saved one to go with that wand if you should want it. It would be an additional 3 galleons, but it will grow with you and dragonhide is extremely hard to destroy so it would be a good investment. You can also come back when you are older and get enchantments placed on it when your core is large enough to support it."
Tony did not even let Hermione think about it. "yeah we will take it. I was going to ask about it as the goblins said something about getting her a holster, but you beat me to it."
"Very well, your total will be 10 Galleons Miss."
Hermione placed the coins on the counter as her dad helped her put the holster on and put her wand in it.
After it was attached the when to the trunk shop and got the special just like the goblins told them to. Sadly, it would not work for a muggle so Tony could not get one for himself. The next shop the got the Slytherin special and got the cauldron and stir sticks in all types and sizes, Tony got 2 so he could play with some potions also. They also go the top of the line telescope.
They then when to Slug and Jiggers instead of the apothecary that the professor pointed out on the main road. Inside they saw a man dressed in all black robes that the clerk called Professor Snape. Out of some unconscious need Hermione nodded her head at the man out of respect. The Professor not knowing who she was raised an eyebrow before nodding back and walking out of the store with his package.
Tony walked over to the now free clerk asking for the best quality ingredients for a first year and to triple the order as he wanted to experiment, and she would also he was sure. Now they were walking out of the store with the new purchase in Hermione's trunk. They then headed to a shop off to the south side of the main street call Twilfitt and Tattings to get Hermione's robes.
"I will be right with you, just finishing up a fitting."
Hermione could see a blonde boy standing on the podium with an older woman pulling pins out as a charmed needle sewed up the seam. Suddenly the thread snapped. Hermione could hear the woman as she talked to the boy. "There we go Heir Malfoy, that is the last of them. Acromantula silk robes, they will be the finest in the school. I know that your father has already been charged so if you wish to change back into your street robes, I will get these packed up for you."
Hermione stepped back to act as if she was not listening in. Just in time to as Mrs. Tattings walked around the corner to address them. With a look like something smelled bad she looked at them. "can I help you?"
Tony with his infinite wisdom in all things snobby stepped forward "Yes you may, my daughter will be starting school in a week and is in need of robes. I want her to have the best. The goblins told us that this was the place to get that. Price is a non-issue. I also want her to get a full wardrobe of normal robes also, wouldn't do to have her looking like a muggle on days she doesn't need to wear school robes."
Mrs. Tattings attitude changed as soon as Tony said that money was not an issue.
"right away sir, I will just take the young miss back and get her measurements than if you can come back in a few hours I will have everything set for a fitting. Also, what name shall I put on the order as I do not recognize your face to place your house. The name on the order will be Stark but the house you are looking for is the house of Kama as she is the last descendant."
The seamstress paled as she had offended one of the sacred 28 houses. "Please forgive me Heir Kama, Lets get you back to get you measured." She said with a bow. Hermione looked at her Dad and he smirked and winked before tapping her chin up as if saying that she should look down on this lady to get the best service.
So, with her best snobby act she walked to the back as the blond boy walked around the corner with a bag in his hand. Hermione tipped her head to him and he did back but she did not spare him another look as she was sure he was around the corner listening in just as she had done to him and knew that she was an heir just like he was.
After a good half hour of being poked and prodded by an enchanted tape measure and being asked her favorite colors, the seamstress told her she could step down and that if she came back in 2 hours she would be ready for her try on her robes. Hermione keeping the snobby act up told her that they better be before walking out of the shop and blowing out a bunch of air and laughing with her dad.
"I do not know how you can act all hoity during all your meetings. It would drive me mad!"
"years of practice and having Pep next to me poking me with her pen if I messed up. That is how you do it. I do have a few secrets yet to teach you but we will save that for when we get back to the car. Now to the part you and I have both been waiting for, the bookstore!"
Hermione grabbed her dad's arm and was all but pulling him toward the store. The world's biggest smile on her face as they went.
A/N: That is most of the Alley for your viewing pleasure. The bookstore will be where we see some of Tony's normal flippancy with money. Are you ready? I know I am! I wrote all of these Alley chapters the same night, but you have to wait! MAHAHAHAH! See ya in the next chapter! (walks away evil laughing)
