"Thanks, I always wanted my very own plaque."
"What do you plan to do now Cub?" Remus asked as he set a sleeping Teddy into a travel cot
"I need to go to Gringotts and fast, before Dumbledore tries to take any of my money, I also need to make sure Ronald pays for what he did."
"Siri, take him to the Gringotts in Settle, I'm gonna stay here with Teddy." Remus said as he covered Teddy with a blanket. I set the plaque down on a nearby table as Siri patted my shoulder leading me to the Floo again
"Come on Pup." Siri said and we both stepped into the Floo, he threw down some power "Gringotts Settle wizarding district." We were both pulled through the fire, I stumbled out of the fire place at the other side, whilst Siri walked out chuckling
"It's not funny."
"Of course, it is Pup, you just need some practice, you'll get the hang of it eventually."
"I suppose so."
"Come, let`s go find your account manager." I nod, and we walk away from the Floos, towards the nearest empty goblin teller
"Can I help you Wizard and Vampire?" the goblin sneered
"We're looking for the Potter account manager." Sirius responded politely, making the Goblin huffed
"Follow me." The goblin grumped and jumped down off his chair, we walked to the end of the booths and met back up with the same goblin, who then led us to a long corridor full of doors. We walked half way down the corridor before stopping outside one of the doors and the goblin knocked
"Enter." A voice called, the goblin opened the door and stepped inside, holding the door open of Siri and I to step inside too
"BloodClaw, these two requested some of your time." The Goblin said the goblin behind the desk,
"Thank you Lucktooth, you may return to your post." BloodClaw responded
"Of course." The goblin Lucktooth said and backed out of the room, closing the door behind him.
"Are you two going to stand there all day or are you going to take a seat?" BloodClaw sneered as he set down his quill
"I could stand all day if I wanted to."
"Pup, don't piss the Goblin off." Siri muttered as he took a seat, I shrugged and sat down on the chair next to him
"Right, what can I do for you today, wizard and Vampire?" BloodClaw sneered
"Is that all anyone is going to see me as now?"
"Pup, can we just get to the reason we are here for."
"Right."
"We need to control the Potter accounts."
"And what is that?"
"Because my godson is now legally dead in Britain, so he needs registering in America under his new status as a vampire and we need charges pressed against someone in England." Sirius explained, making the goblin give Sirius a blank look
"Way to confuse the goblin Siri, perhaps it would be better off if I just show you?"
"Very well, I will fetch my pensieve." BloodClaw said and raised from his seat and left the room
"Perhaps we should have started with that." Siri commented slumping in his seat a little bit
"Yeah, that might have been a good idea, I just hope Dumbledore didn't go straight to Gringotts after my so-called death."
"Even so, you are the legal and rightful heir to the Potter name, meaning everything belongs to you, you can move it over here, so it can't be touched."
"Yeah." Just then the door opened and BloodClaw came back in floating the Pensieve behind him, he set it down besides his desk
"If you would place your memory of the event in here vampire, wait your godfather best do it s you have no wand." The Goblin smirked, I frowned and pulled my wand from my holster, I pointed it at the side of my forehead. The goblin looked shocked as I thought about that memory of the potions cupboard and then the hospital wing afterward. I pulled the memory from my head and put it into the pensieve
"I am a wizard and a vampire, I'm Harry James Potter." The goblin looked pale and nodded before diving his head into the pensieve
"That was very well said Pup."
"I didn't like the way he just assumes that I have no magic just because I'm now a vampire." I huffed
"I know pup, we'll get everything sorted don't you worry, for now we just wait for the goblin to be finished." I nod and slump in my seat and close my eyes
- Ten Minutes Later-
"I own you an apology Heir Potter." I heard the Goblin say, I opened my eyes and sat up straight in my chair. I saw the BloodClaw was out of the pensieve and sat back behind the desk
"That's fine."
"Now from what I saw, there is definitely cause for pressing charges against Ronald Weasley, but first what would you like to do about your accounts heir Potter?" BloodClaw asked
"We'd like to move the Potter accounts from Britain to this branch of Gringotts." Siri explained
"That will be done." BloodClaw responded
"Also, is there a way to stop anyone else from accessing my accounts?"
"Of course, you can put their names down on a ban list from your vaults."
"I'd like to do that."
"Of Course, Heir Potter, their names please."
"Albus Dumbledore, Molly Weasley, Ronald Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Arthur Weasley, Hermione Granger, plus anyone else that may have a key."
"Would you like us to issue you a new key?"
"I think that would be a better option." Siri commented
"Of course, Lord Black." BloodClaw responded
"Also, I think a card would be a good idea as well." Siri said
"Of course."
"A card?"
"The card will be linked to your accounts, you'll be able to use it in any shop that you go into." BloodClaw explained
"Even muggle shops?"
"Yep, you'd just had it over when you pay, the bank will give you a pin to use, when you want to pay for things you put the pin in and done, the money will go from your accounts here at Gringotts." Siri explained
"Exactly, now I shall just get a new key ready for you Heir Potter, but I shall need a sample of your venom." BloodClaw said pulled a small bowl from one of his draws. I nodded and let some venom pool in my mouth, I took the bowl from BloodClaw and spat my venom into it before handing it back to the goblin "Very good." He poured the venom into a metal tray, and chanted in its own language, then the venom began shrinking and shaping, into the shape of a key. Once it had finished forming the goblin handed it over to me "Your new key Heir Potter, now shall we move on to pressing charges against Ronald Weasley?" I took the key and placed it in my pocket
"Yes."
"Can we press Charges against him for murder?" Siri asked
"With the memories provided, of course, but we will need one other who witnessed the accident to prove this, obviously with you being dead and all, they will ask where these memories came from." BloodClaw responded
"Professor Snape was there, he asked me those questions about who did it, maybe he could provide you with the memories that you need."
"Very good, I will write him a letter as soon as we are finished here, Lord Black it will be you pressing the charges correct?"
"Of Course, Harry wouldn't be able to press the charges himself." Siri responded
"Of Course." BloodClaw said as he wrote down some notes "Now, is that everything I can help you with today?"
"We also need an inheritance test for Harry and he needs to claim his heir ring as well as his lordship ring." Siri said
"Huh, why both heir and Lordship ring Siri?"
"Well, you are the lord to the Potter name, but you are also heir to the Black name, you're my heir pup, that's why you need both rings."
"I have the both rings here, start with the Black one." BloodClaw said, he pushed one of the boxes over to me. I took the ring from the box; the ring had a small crest on it and a string of Latin around the edge of the crest
"Try it on Pup." Siri said. I pushed the ring onto my first finger on my right hand, it glowed slightly before shrinking to fit my finger.
"The ring has claimed you as the Black Heir, now let's move onto the Lordship ring." BloodClaw said pushing the other ring my way
"That one goes on your middle left finger pup." I pulled the ring from the box and slid it onto my left middle finger, the Potter crest had a stag in the centre of the crest, a wand and a sword crossed over behind the stag and a Latin phrase across the base of the crest. "The phrase means family first, your family stood by the phrase, it's your family motto." I nod as the ring began to glow slightly, before it shrunk to fit my finger
"Excellent, you are now Lord Potter and Heir Black, now, was an inheritance test mentioned?" BloodClaw asked
"Yes, I feel it would be best." Siri responded
"Very well, I'll just need a little more for your venom Lord Potter." I nod and let some venom pool in my mouth again "Just spit it onto this parchment." I spat the venom out onto the parchment that was slid towards me. It immediately began moving and sunk into the parchment, and words began to appear on the parchment
"That looks to be a long list Pup." Siri commented, as we watched the list continue.
"Have a ready Lord Potter." BloodClaw said once the parchment had stopped filling, he slid it over to me
Hadrian James Potter-Black

Heir to
The Ancient and most Noble House of Black
The Ancient House of Emrys
The Ancient and most Noble House of Hufflepuff
The Ancient and most Noble House of Ravenclaw
"Wow Pup, you own half of Hogwarts." Siri chuckled
"Really?"
"May I?" BloodClaw asked holding out his hand. I nodded, and I slide the parchment over to him, he picked it up from the desk and began to read.
"What does this mean?"
"This means the houses you are lord to, you can claim the rings and all their assets, money and property included, you are heir to the houses of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, this means there are other heirs out there to claim these who are ahead of you in the line, if no-one claims these houses, we will write to inform you that you can come and claim the lordship." BloodClaw explained
"What about the House of Emrys? I've never even heard of that name before."
"The House of Emrys is Merlin's house Pup, the line was said to have died out centuries ago, with no other heir to carry on the line." Siri responded
"Correct, the line did die out, but at the same time the line joined with the Gryffindor line, which then became part of the Potter line as well, the line only appears on an inheritance test for those, magic deems worthy of being Merlin's heir."
"So, I'm Merlin's Heir too?"
"Indeed, you will have access to the Heir vaults if the ring accepts you as his heir." BloodClaw said as he pulled another box from one of his draws, along with a medallion "This medallion represents you being the Heir to the other two founders, place it round your neck if magic accepts it will shrink into the shape of a choker and present magical qualities to protect you."
"Should I start with that?"
"If you wish to." BloodClaw said handing the medallion over, I took an unnecessary breath and slipped the chain over my head and let it hang around my neck, it swung slightly before it shimmered and shrunk and fit snuggly around my neck as a choker "Congratulations Heir Founder." I nod and BloodClaw slides the box over to me, I pull the heir ring from the box and sipped it onto my right middle finger, it shimmered and glowed before shrinking to fit on my finger. The Emrys crest looked like a slumbering dragon in front of a Willow tree. "Congratulations Heir Emrys, now moving on to the Gryffindor and Slytherin Lordships, these rings merge together to form one ring, and do not need to be worn at all times for the protection magic to work, you could wear it on a chain around your neck too, but to make sure magic agrees try them both on your left thumb." BloodClaw said pulling out two more boxes and slid them across the desk
"At the same time?"
"At the same time." BloodClaw responds. I nod and pull both rings and slide them onto my left thumb, they immediately shrunk to fit before merging together to create one ring "That's the fastest I've ever see them accept, congratulations, is that everything I can help you with today?"
"If you could send all the listings of my accounts to me via owl I would be grateful."
"It will be done sir."
"May your vaults flourish and enemies wither at your feet." Sirius said as he stood from his seat, I stood too
"May your gold flow like a river and enemies flee at the sight of you." BloodClaw responded, I nodded
"Good Day Master BloodClaw." Then we both left the office and headed back to the Floos
"Come on Pup, we've got to get you settled, and I'm sure Remus has already enrolled you in the local high school."
"What?"
"You'll have to go to school Harry, we'd have the police knocking at our door otherwise." I groaned
"I have a lot of catching up to do then."
