Their next agenda comprised contacting every person mentioned on the test plus some additional people and setting the wrongs right. He drafted separate letters, addressed to everyone with Hermione's help, inviting them to Gringotts in the evening. Ragnarok converted them into portkeys, which activate when the key phrase is said and sent the letters off with official owls. In the meantime, they dealt with the remaining matters. With Griphook's advice, they devised a plan to get their money back from Dumbledore and selected Weasley's. "Griphook, I am making you the charge of all accounts of Lord Potter and Heiress Granger. You get hold of the goblin handling Potter vault and bring him to me with all the records." Griphook bowed low and expressed his gratitude.
They decided on an interest rate of 50% and 40% on Hogwarts and Personal Vaults, respectively, for Albus Dumbledore. With an interest rate of 30% for Molly Weasley, 20% for Ronald Weasley and 10% for Ginerva Weasley. This makes the total amount to return for Dumbledore at 919259766 Galleons, Molly at 71478533 Galleons, Ron at 21316785 Galleons and Ginny at 5640903 Galleons. The said Galleons were deducted from their vaults instantly, and they were in debt to the Potter and Granger family. The Dursleys were charged a 40% interest rate and had to return 429,671,233.65 pounds. "I want to file a case against Dumbledore for robbery, child endangerment, manipulation, feeding potions, illegal acquirement of guardianship, signing a betrothal contract unlawfully, and imprisonment of innocent. Against Molly for attempted Line Theft and illegal potioning of a recognised heir. Against Ron and Ginny for robbery. Make sure that they don't get any idea about this." This made Ragnarok's day because he had been looking for proof against Albus for a long time.
"Lord Potter-" "Please call me Hadrian." "Hadrian, this is the list of all estates you own. Heiress Granger-" "Please call me Isabella." "Very well. Miss Isabell, your list." They read through the list, and Hadrian settled on moving to Potter Manor as early as possible because he could not stand the Dursleys a second more. Isabella decided to consult her parents about it. As they were discussing repairing all the properties and rebuilding them if required, a goblin informed them that their guests had arrived and were in the conference room prepared for them. They headed towards the conference room.
The site that greeted them was hilarious. The Malfoy's in one corner watching everyone with wariness. The professors, namely Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Professor Lupin (although he was not one yet), were discussing something in another corner. The Longbottoms and Susan were on one side of the table, and the Grangers were on the other. The only person missing was Amelia Bones, but Hadrian had a fair idea where she might be. As on cue, she entered the room, a large black, shabby dog trailing behind her and joined her niece. The room became pin-drop silent.
"Greeting Ladies and Gentlemen and Dogs. I am King Ragnarok, Manager of Gringotts. You were all invited on behalf of our special clients. But before we proceed, I request you all to take an oath that anything discussed in this room or any event that takes place here must not be disclosed to anyone without the express permission of our guests. If you may." They were cautious at first, but when Madam Bones took the oath as the head of DMLE, everyone followed her example. "Please welcome our special guests, Lord Hadrian and Heiress Isabella." Two figures emerged from the shadows, leaving everyone stunned.
The first to react was the dog. It leapt upon Hadrian and licked him all over the face. "Missed you too, Snuffles," Hadrian said, overjoyed. This broke Remus out of his stance. He ran towards them and took Snuffles and Hadrian in his arms. The gesture confused everyone else, but for them, it was everything. They were celebrating their reunion of family. Isabella had tears of joy in her eyes seeing Hadrian this happy. Next to come out of shock were the Granger,s. Not sparing another second, they embraced their daughter. "Mom-Dad, I missed you."
Ragnarok cleared his throat, "Now that everyone has met our guests, let's get down to business. Goblins enter." Four Goblins entered the hall, each holding trays with goblets containing liquid and a bowl for Snuffles. "Ladies and Gentlemen, please accept our hospitality and enjoy these drinks specially for you." Hadrian was glancing at him. As far as he remembered, this was not part of the plan, but he trusted him enough to play along. To keep up the appearances, Hadrian, Isabella and Ragnarok also took the goblets. Everyone drank their fill, appreciating the taste. The Goblins collected the empty goblets and exited. As they left, the doors sealed automatically. The only Goblins present were Ragnarok and Griphook.
The Game Begins.
