Chapter 2
Early the next morning Electra quickly took a shower while her family was still asleep. She decided to make their breakfast before leaving for Gringotts. When his uncle, aunt, and cousin came into the kitchen, her uncle and aunt noticed a slight sparkle in her eyes.
"What's got you so happy, girl?" Vernon questioned roughly as he sat down and opened his newspaper. He did all of this while staring at the well-dressed teenager who was serving them food.
"Nothing, uncle," Electra replied with a small shrug and started pouring coffee for the two adults and orange juice for her cousin. "I'll be out all day. Thought you should know."
Petunia eyed her suspiciously as she looked at her outfit. She refused to buy her freak of a niece any decent outfits. She makes her wear her little dudder's old clothes, which were twice the size Electra wears. However, Petunia noticed that her niece would come home with new clothes every summer. In her eyes, they were too good for freaks to wear and weren't up to her standards.
"Where exactly are you going dress like that?" Petunia hissed out as her pale blue eyes glared at her.
Electa paused for a moment. Sparing a glance at her aunt before shrugging. "I'm going to see the goblins"
Vernon choked on his coffee almost immediately at the fact she mentioned anything he deemed unnatural. Dudley stared at her in fake fear, because they got along well. While Petunia's glare became sharper and her lips turned white from how tight she was pressing them together. Electra knew how much her family hated anything to do with the magical world and magic in general. They made an important rule not to mention anything about her world at any point, but she couldn't resist it.
"Don't you ever mention your freakiness in the house!" Petunia screamed, her hands slamming against the table. The force from the slam caused her coffee to spill some. Electra looked at the spill and slowly raised her head. She raised an eyebrow at her aunt when they locked eyes.
"I'm not cleaning that up," She said before walking out of the kitchen. Ignoring her uncle's demands to return to clean up the mess.
Electra made her way to her room. She glanced around her room in distaste and took a deep breath. She sat at her desk to write the letter she forgot to do the night before.
Dear Mione,
I hope you're enjoying your break so far and that everything is alright. I'm hoping to owl order some books to read as the Dursley didn't give me any chores to do. So I'm going to take advantage of that. Have any recommendations?
I'm about done with my summer assignments, I only have Charms left. I'm positive that you have yours completed. I wouldn't expect anything less than that from you.
I miss you dearly and can't wait to see you.
Love, Electra.
She sealed the letter in the envelope as she called Hedwig over. Hedwig let out a soft hoot and nipped Electra's finger affectionately which earned a smile that showed fondness from the witch.
"Take this to Hermione please gorgeous. I'm heading to Gringotts, but I'm sure you'll find me where I go from there." Hedwig let out another hoot and flew out the open window.
Electra let out a sigh and began packing up her truck with everything she had. Clothes, school supplies, and personal items, like her invisibility cloak and photo album. Once she was ready to leave, she shrunk her truck and placed it into her pocket. She then grabbed her wand and the letter from Gringotts before saying the code for the Portkey.
The moment Electra's feet landed, she stumbled forward a bit before being able to stabilize herself. She took a few deep breaths to calm her stomach down. Electra looked around and was happy that it wasn't as packed as usual She made her way to the nearest Goblin Teller and waited till he acknowledged her. Knowing they don't like being disturbed when they are busy.
"What do you want, witch?" The Goblin spoke out roughly.
"Hello Goblin Teller, I received a letter from King Ragnok. Requesting my present for a meeting." She spoke with a small bow. The Goblin's head snapped up as his eyes widened when she bowed and saw the scar on her forehead. The teller immediately called another goblin whom Electra recognized at Griphook, who helped Electra the first time she entered Gringotts. Electra waited patiently as the two goblins talked in their native tongue before Griphook turned to Electra.
"Come along, Miss. Potter"
Electra followed Griphook closely as they navigated through the halls painted in gold, walking past many doors with names she recognized and some she didn't. They finally stopped outside of a dark oak door with Potter engraved on the nameplate. Griphook gave two sharp knocks before a voice from the room called for them to enter.
"My king-" Griphook bowed and Electra did the same, missing the amused and shocked look on the king's face. "Lady Potter is here to see you."
"Thank you, Griphook. You may leave." Electra moved to sit in front of Ragnok's desk and winced a little before fiddling with the end of her shirt nervously.
"Let's get to business shall we?-" Electra nodded as she leaned forward. "As stated in the letter you had received, we had tried to contact you once you turned eleven. Then quickly released that Privet Drive has wards to redirect your mail somewhere else. We assume they are going to your magical guardian and being kept or destroyed-"
"I apologize my king but what magical guardian are you talking about?" A frown formed on Ragnok's face as he stared into Electra's eyes.
"You don't know who your magical guardian is?-" Electra shook her head and Ragnok cursed under his breath and rubbed his eyes. "It seems you have been kept in the dark, more than we suspected. Three days after the death of your parents, Albus Dumbledore became your magical guardian. Us Goblins knew for a fact that you were not supposed to go to the Dursley family, it went against everything your parents wanted. Since their WIlls were sealed, unfortunately, we're unable to unseal it without the Heir's permission. In other words, meaning you."
Electra sat there thinking with a frown, debating what to do about the Will. "Can you organize a meeting in July or August to have their Wills read? I'm assuming you'll need everyone who was mentioned to be involved in the meeting also."
"You're correct, Lady Potter and yes, I'll organize a meeting for a later date-" Ragnok said as he scribbled down the information for later before pushing to the side and began to rummage through his desk drawer. Electra lips twitch in slight amusement at the mumbling goblin. Ragnok pulled out a prestigious-looking parchment that had gold runes around the edges.
"That's pretty parchment," Electra said in awe, causing Ragnok to chuckle. He also pulled out a dagger with a ruby at the end of the handle.
"This is a goblin-made dagger. All you have to do is prick your finger and apply seven drops of blood to the parchment. This will reveal your inheritance and your medical history-" Ragnok immediately noticed how the young witch tense and how her emerald eyes showed fear, nerves, and a bit of tear.
Children of the Goblin Nation are seen as treasured and adored. You'll never find a single goblin child being abused by their parents. If that ever did happen, the Goblin Nation would make the one responsible pay for their actions. However, abuse was sadly common in the wizarding world. It is usually found in muggle-borns or muggle-raised half-bloods and occasionally in pure-blood families. Electra Potter-Black is one of the most famous witches to date, and yet it was clear to Ragnok that she was mistreated or abused by her muggle relatives. The teen witch is too short for her age, only standing at 4'11 and her weight was the most concerning. Ragnok didn't miss her little wince when she sat down earlier.
Ragnok spoke up softly "Lady Potter-"
"Please, just call me Electra" Ragnok smiles with a nod before continuing.
"Electra, us Goblins are known to be observant and we see many children walk in and out of Gringotts. We know the signs of abuse. Electra, there is nothing to be ashamed of. You are a young warrior but we Goblins are more than qualified to help. Even more than human healers. Let us help you. Please." Ragnok said softly, not missing the tears building up in Electra's eyes.
Electra closed her eyes, hoping her tears wouldn't fall as she didn't want to cry in front of the King of the Goblin Nation. There was a soft voice, almost sounding like Hermione, telling her it was okay and to allow them to help so her life could get back to the way it was supposed to.
Electra jumped as she felt a hand lay softly on her arm. She opened her eyes. "Electra?"
"I'm sorry, King Ragnok. Yes. I'd like all of the help I could get from you and your nation." Electra said with a small smile. She received a proud and happy smile in return from the King.
"Seven drops please," Ragnok asked softly. He pushed the dagger and the parchment towards the witch. She took the blade without hesitation. She was surprised that she didn't feel any pain from the dagger cutting her finger. She assumed it was either because she has a high pain tolerance or there was a charm or rune to prevent the user from feeling any pain.
"Take a look. Your medical history is on the back of the parchment." Electra took a deep breath before grabbing the parchment and started reading it.

Electra or Astrid couldn't believe her eyes. She couldn't fathom how someone could do this to her and went as far as changing her name. She didn't even notice the tears going down her face until Ragnok called her name and she only saw the King through blurry vision. Without saying anything she handed him the parchment and wiped her tears away as she watched as many emotions flashed through the Goblin's eyes.
"We need to get these removed. Now." Ragnok said angrily.
