Chapter 10: Let's Meet the Goblins…
The next day Harry woke up to find pet nursing on his cock, he suspected that yesterday's mating had brought her more submissive nature to surface, the through mating he gave her, claiming her, making it clear that he was her master. Well that was one issue he didn't have any problem with he could handle her submissive nature gladly; he knew that he had barely controlled his urge to claim Doreen as well, that without pet to vent his mating urge here, he wouldn't have been able to control his urge to return her home, showing her that she was his slave. After twenty minutes of nursing him pet was rewarded with his release, which she gulped down with her eyes closed, no doubt savoring his essence.
Spending another hour reaming pet's ass raw, this time on Vernon's desk they made their way to the bathroom where he allowed pet to clean him while she tried to suck him again of course. But he stopped her knowing that if she continued, he would be fucking her wasting more time. And according to Goblins, who he will meet today time was money and he had lots to do today in only a day. He knew that Leona was more than likely out of the house hunting as she had asked his permission yesterday. But still checked on her as he dressed, 'Leona where are you?'
'Master I am on my way to you.' answered Leona's voice; it still amazed him sometimes that how much important Leona had become to him.
As pet made some breakfast he mentally made a list of what he had to do. He knew from Voldy's memories that the Potter family is one of the wealthiest and oldest pureblood families. It was more than likely that they would have the inheritance clause which would let a seven year old claim the family estate only if the child in question in is the sole heir, to preserve the line from dying out as seventh year is the age of first magical maturity. His whole plan was based on how his meeting with goblins would turn out. He knew that many families had died out of existence and it is possible due to close pureblood relations that he would inherit more than one family. The main reason of his visit to Diagon Alley is to gain a book on Animagus transformation and a wand untraceable of course. He would also need to know that how much had changed in the wizarding world after that fateful Halloween night, but considering that wizards are prone to remain unchanged, there is likely to be very small changes. He would also need a few basic things like potion ingredients and cauldron set, scales among other things. There is also the matter of changing Pet's looks. After all he was fucking her on a daily basis, it would be good if she looked beautiful.
After finishing the breakfast with Petunia, he looked at her knowing that she would take any order, "Pet go to our room and fetch the potion Doreen gave us." Harry ordered.
"Yes Master." saying this pet stood up and went upstairs, ready to please her master.
"Master." pet said giving him the potion with her eyes down, a proper picture of subservience. Taking the thick mud like foul looking potion from her hand he added Mr. Polkiss' hair in it and watched as it started to bubble slowly, after making sure that it was secure to close, he corked the vial and put it in his pocket.
"Pet we are going to Diagon alley, pack the robes Doreen had brought and you will drive us to there." said Harry.
When the backpack was packed they made their way to the car and eventually on the road, pet driving with Harry sitting on the front seat and Leona on his lap.
"Leona we are going very close to the place where you were held in a cage and there is a possibility that we will see one of your abductors but I want you to stay calm. Ok?" said Harry stroking Leona's fur, his tone soft but clearly voicing his order.
'Yes Master.' said Leona abiding his command.
"Pet when we reach the Leaky Cauldron you will park the car in the adjoined alley." said Harry as they were very close to reaching their destination.
"Yes Master." Petunia nodded.
At last they arrived at Charing Cross road; pet stopped the car in a dark alley as ordered. Bracing himself Harry gulped down the potion, but knowing how it would taste and how the transformation will be, are two different things and Harry was barely able to hold it down. Immediately, his insides started writhing as a burning sensation spread rapidly from his stomach to the very ends of his fingers and toes and his skin all over his body bubbled like hot wax and just like that Mr. Polkiss had replaced Harry in the car. Where once sat an eleven year old looking boy with green eyes black hairs was; now sat a man in his late thirty, with red hairs, gray eyes and a bulky body.
"Pet, give me the robes." said Harry exiting the car barely balancing the different body. Petunia did as she was ordered and wore her robes as Harry wore his. At last they headed to wizarding pub; Leaky Cauldron was nestled between a Muggle book shop and a record store. Inside the pub, it was dark and shabby, with a bar and a number of tables in the shadows of the corners, there were some people drinking away at a far table and a hag was sitting in a corner sipping her soup. The innkeeper looked at them as they passed but didn't spare another glance.
They went to the backyard where a wall stretched before them. Harry stepped forward and drawing his magic as he had been practicing, he tapped just the right brick in the wall. It revealed an archway to the mesmerizing sight of Diagon Alley in all its glory, despite seeing the alley in memories Harry couldn't help but admire the sight. Beside him he heard a gasp from Pet, Leona was also looking curiously scanning the area for any threat.
They passed shops like: Eeylops Owl Emporium, Flourish & Blotts, Gambol & Japes, Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, Obscurus Books as they walked down the long cobbled street where at the end stood a large snowy white marble building, Gringotts.
There standing beside the burnished bronze doors of Gringotts entryway wearing a uniform of scarlet and gold, were two warrior Goblins. The goblins bowed as they passed to which Harry responded by bowing back, after all they were the keepers of all the wizarding monetary. The second pair of doors, silver this time, engraved with words consisting warning runes:
Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
A second pair of goblin warrior bowed again as they passed the door and entered a vast marble hall. All over the place goblins were doing their regular business sitting on high stools, Harry and pet made for the counter.
After about thirty second the goblin peered at Harry leaning upon the counter, "What business do you have?" asked the goblin in a gruff tone.
"I am here for an inheritance test." answered Harry knowing that the goblin behind the desk probably suspected him due of his disguise.
"You will have to wait there" said the Goblin teller pointing to a pair of chairs, "Someone will show you the way to Greyhammer's office."
After five minutes of waiting (where Harry instructed Petunia to remain silent in the meeting) a young looking goblin came over and said "Follow me." and began to lead them through a large number of corridors, finally stopping in front of a closed golden door which read, Greyhammer, Head of Inheritance Department. He knocked three times and a rough voice came from behind the doors, "Enter."
"Wait here." the goblin said to Harry and entered the room. He returned a few minutes later, "Master Greyhammer is waiting for you."
As they entered the office the first thing he noticed was the sheer wealth the room was displaying. It was likely the same size of Dursleys' home, it was decorated with a number of armors, tapestries and gleaming weapons. The second thing were the wide desk and the old goblin sitting behind it.
"You are here for an inheritance test Mr.?" Greyhammer asked.
"Potter, Harry Potter." supplied Harry looking at the goblin.
The Goblin showed no surprise as if he had known that the man standing in front of him was Harry Potter all along. After a moment, Greyhammer said "It will cost you one hundred Galleons, Mr. Potter."
"I agree to the price Master Greyhammer." answered Harry.
"So let us proceed…" saying this Greyhammer pulled a parchment and a bone like dagger from his desk. "You will have to cut your palm and provide some blood on the parchment."
In a swift motion Harry drew the dagger from the desk and made a diagonal slash on his left palm letting some blood flow on the parchment, knowing that despite some people's view blood is important in more than one way. A second or two later, the parchment started glowing and the cut on his hand healed itself. When the glow faded, spiral writing started to appear on the parchment:
Harry James Potter
Son of: James Charles Potter & Lily Rosaline Potter (née Evans).
Heir to:
Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter
Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Peverell
Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Black
Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Ravenclaw
Harry was shocked at the result, he knew that he was heir of Potter and Black families but all the others were total surprise; though it was a possibility that his mother's family also had some role in it.
"Master Greyhammer, I know that Potters and Blacks are related but I know for a fact that Potter family is not related to any founder's House." Harry said with a curious voice.
"Yes you are essentially correct in your assumption, Mr. Potter. The Potter family is related to Founders because they are a cadet branch of Gryffindor House. As for Peverell House, in the thirteenth century a Potter had married to the sole heir of Ignotus Peverell." explained Greyhammer.
"If the Potters are related and sole heirs of Peverell House than why didn't any of my ancestors claimed it?" asked Harry knowing that there was no knowledge of Potter family ever claiming Peverell House as far as Voldemort knew.
"It is possible Mr. Potter that there were major heirs of Peverell House from Ignotus's elder brother, and had likely died without even knowing who they were, leaving you as the senior heir to Peverell House." answered Greyhammer with a thoughtful look on his green face. "As for Ravenclaw House a simple test could answer it."
He picked the parchment in his hands and started to chant in Gobbledegook. When the goblin stopped his chant, the parchment shown a deep green color, widening in length. A family tree started to grow from Harry's name. His name was linked by two threads to James Potter on the left side and Lily Potter on the right side.
Tracing the Potter name Harry could see that a William Potter had married to Helen Peverell in 1241. But the surprise came from the Evans side of his family; Lily Potter was descended from none other than one Arthur Ravenclaw. The Ravenclaw family had changed its name in the fourteenth century to Evans, all the names on Evans side was very light barely visible until at the bottom, Lily Evans was written.
Now that Harry thought about it, Lily Potter was considered the best witch of her generation but that didn't help his shock. But as an heir of Founder, he would have some more safety in Hogwarts.
"That answers our question." said Greyhammer with a gleam in his eyes, thinking about the riches of Ravenclaw family. "It shows that your mother was a descendant from a squib line of Ravenclaw family, which likely moved to the muggle side."
A gasp escaped from Petunia's lips but one look from Harry and she kept quiet.
"You can claim Potter, Peverell and Ravenclaw Houses because they all are old Pureblood families and have the seven year age clause." continued Greyhammer after looking at Petunia for a moment; who was looking down at her lap where Leona was stretched. Then the Goblin spoke in some kind of communication device, ordering Griphook to get the family rings for the four houses.
Once Griphook, the goblin who had led them here arrived and laid the four family rings, Greyhammer motioned Harry to take the Potter ring. As Harry placed the Potter family ring on his finger, it shrank with a bright red glow. The same thing happened with Peverell and Ravenclaw Rings emitting Green and Blue color respectively.
"All families have vaults you can visit Lord Potter but you will have to wait for a complete audit." said Greyhammer before continuing "But there is the matter of House Black."
"Yes I know that I am a senior heir of Black family but isn't Sirius Black the Head of House Black?" asked Harry still slightly overwhelmed.
"No, Sirius Black never claimed Headship. He was imprisoned for being a Death Eater and betraying your family before he could become Lord Black." said Greyhammer.
"What?" Harry shouted out loud knowing that it wasn't true.
'Master you should calm down.' said Leona's voice in his head.
Taking a deep breath he calmed himself before saying, "I apologize for my outburst, but it was shocking to hear, knowing that Peter Pettigrew was the one who betrayed my parents to Voldemort."
"We had always suspected that Mr. Black was wrongly imprisoned as he was thrown in Azkaban without any trial." said Greyhammer accepting his apology.
"I think you should try the Black family ring. It would help the Black family." Greyhammer said breaking the silence.
"What do you mean? How will it help the Black family?" asked Harry.
"You see Lord Potter Narcissa Malfoy, a daughter of House Black had recently contacted Gringotts to annul her marriage but wasn't able to do so without Lord Black's consent." explained Greyhammer.
As Harry thought about the idea of annulling Narcissa's marriage, it was clear that this single action would solve his many problems. He knew that Narcissa is cunning, have flair of politics and would be the best candidate as a proxy in wizengamot. All he would have to achieve was her loyalty and it certainly helped her case that she has a wonderful body that he knew would be enjoyable.
Decision made Harry picked the fourth ring and slid sown it on his left hand finger beside the Peverell ring, it took more than thirty second for this ring to accept him but finally it too shrank with a dark shine. "Please contact Narcissa, I will discuss the matter with her." said Harry his mind still imagining the coming future with Narcissa.
"Of course my Lord." said Greyhammer before ordering Griphook to the deed via same device.
"Master Greyhammer, I would like to know how many properties I own." asked Harry.
"Lord Potter you would have to meet Grimfoot, he is the Potter account manager. Griphook will show you his office." answered Greyhammer. Again he ordered Griphook to come in his office via the communication device.
Once again Griphook entered the office, bowing to Greyhammer he said "I have sent letter to Lady Malfoy to come here as soon as possible."
"Griphook, show Lord Potter the way to Grimfoot's office." said the older goblin dismissing Griphook.
Before exiting the office Harry turned back to Greyhammer and said in a slightly demanding voice, "I would like this meeting to be secret."
"Of course Lord Potter." assured the old goblin at once.
Once again Griphook led them through the underground maze of Gringotts and knocked on the golden doors, "Enter."
This time he led them to the office without waiting, "Account Manager Grimfoot this is Lord Potter." said Griphook bowing to the goblin behind the desk who looked older than him but younger than Greyhammer.
"Ah! Lord Potter, I have been waiting for this visit." said Grimfoot slightly bowing to Harry.
Harry bowed back and said cutting the chase, "Account Manager Grimfoot I would like to know about my properties and my parents will."
"Let's see…" said Grimfoot before pulling a folder from his desk "Here it is…"
The first page of the file reads:
Properties:
Potter Manor in Wales,
Potter Castle location unknown,
Evelyn's Nest in Hogsmeade,
Shop No. 74, 96 & 101 in Diagon Alley,
Prongs' Hideout in London,
No. 4 Privet Drive, Surrey.
Harry kept his surprise to himself at finding that he owns No.4 and turned the page which read:
Account Details:
Vault No.7 - Potter Family Vault
1755740370 Galleons,
103567400 Sickles,
2567800 Knuts,
Books – value unknown,
Weapons - value unknown,
Heirlooms – value unknown,
Paintings – value unknown,
And other items of unknown value.
Vault No. 687 – Potter Trust Vault
50000 Galleons (Refilled every year)
Vault No.931 – James & Lily Potter's Vault
31431 Galleons,
4045 Sickles,
4754 Knuts,
Personal belonging – value unknown.
Holdings:
Daily Prophet – 75%
Flourish & Blotts – 35%
Malkin's Robes – 43%
Microsoft – 25%
Harry knew that the Potter family was wealthy but he hadn't imagined that they were this wealthy. Keeping his shock in check he asked again "And what about the other families?"
"Which other families Lord Potter?" asked the curious goblin.
Harry held up his hands and willed the rings to reappear, seeing this Grimfoot's eyes widened for a second before he answered, "I am sorry Lord Potter but I can't tell you about these families' holdings right now as they have been dormant for a long time and no manager has been handling them. A full audit will take about three days. First you will have to assign the Account Manager of course."
"Manager Grimfoot, would you be able to give your time for these accounts as well?" asked Harry already knowing the answer.
"I would be honored My Lord." said Grimfoot covering his shock.
"And what about my parents' will?" Harry asked again.
"Your parents will was sealed by Chief Warlock. You wouldn't have been able to access them until you were of age but considering that you are Lord Potter you will be able to see it. But the will resides in ministry archives." answered Grimfoot.
"I will need a way to access money without going to my vault every time." Harry said then thinking for a moment he added, "I want to dissolve the trust vault seeing that I would not need it."
"That will be done my lord." said Grimfoot giving Harry a pouch and a card which looked like a debit card.
"These are enchanted to only access to the person that they are tied to all you have to do is place a drop of blood on them and they will be tied to you."
Harry tied both items to his blood. "I also need a secure way of sending letters to Gringotts."
Finding a handbag like object Grimfoot gave it to Harry saying, "All you will have to do is place your letter in it and I will receive the letter. It will vibrate when a letter is arrived."
There was a knock on the door which opened after Grimfoot gave his permission to enter. Griphook entered the office bowing his head he said, "I apologize to interrupt your meeting Manager Grimfoot but Lady Malfoy is here to meet Lord Black." he finished looking toward Harry.
"Please have her wait in a private meeting room." said Grimfoot.
A/N: To be continued…. Should I add some marriage contracts and if so, then which Families would you like in the contracts?
He will be meeting with Narcissa in the next chapter and Amelia after that and of course he would be 'greeting' them. There is a possibility of Minerva coming to surrey somehow.
Hope you will like it and would share what you would like in the story via reviews…
Till the next chapter,
Lord Maurya.

"Master Greyhammer, I would like to know how many properties I own." asked Harry.
"Lord Potter you would have to meet Grimfoot, he is the Potter account manager. Griphook will show you his office." answered Greyhammer. Again he ordered Griphook to come in his office via the communication device.
Once again Griphook entered the office, bowing to Greyhammer he said "I have sent letter to Lady Malfoy to come here as soon as possible."
"Griphook, show Lord Potter the way to Grimfoot's office." said the older goblin dismissing Griphook.
Before exiting the office Harry turned back to Greyhammer and said in a slightly demanding voice, "I would like this meeting to be secret."
"Of course Lord Potter." assured the old goblin at once.
Once again Griphook led them through the underground maze of Gringotts and knocked on the golden doors, "Enter."
This time he led them to the office without waiting, "Account Manager Grimfoot this is Lord Potter." said Griphook bowing to the goblin behind the desk who looked older than him but younger than Greyhammer.
"Ah! Lord Potter, I have been waiting for this visit." said Grimfoot slightly bowing to Harry.
Harry bowed back and said cutting the chase, "Account Manager Grimfoot I would like to know about my properties and my parents will."
"Let's see…" said Grimfoot before pulling a folder from his desk "Here it is…"
The first page of the file reads:

Harry kept his surprise to himself at finding that he owns No.4 and turned the page which read:

Harry knew that the Potter family was wealthy but he hadn't imagined that they were this wealthy. Keeping his shock in check he asked again "And what about the other families?"
"Which other families Lord Potter?" asked the curious goblin.
Harry held up his hands and willed the rings to reappear, seeing this Grimfoot's eyes widened for a second before he answered, "I am sorry Lord Potter but I can't tell you about these families' holdings right now as they have been dormant for a long time and no manager has been handling them. A full audit will take about three days. First you will have to assign the Account Manager of course."
"Manager Grimfoot, would you be able to give your time for these accounts as well?" asked Harry already knowing the answer.
"I would be honored My Lord." said Grimfoot covering his shock.
"And what about my parents' will?" Harry asked again.
"Your parents will was sealed by Chief Warlock. You wouldn't have been able to access them until you were of age but considering that you are Lord Potter you will be able to see it. But the will resides in ministry archives." answered Grimfoot.
"I will need a way to access money without going to my vault every time." Harry said then thinking for a moment he added, "I want to dissolve the trust vault seeing that I would not need it."
"That will be done my lord." said Grimfoot giving Harry a pouch and a card which looked like a debit card.
"These are enchanted to only access to the person that they are tied to all you have to do is place a drop of blood on them and they will be tied to you."
Harry tied both items to his blood. "I also need a secure way of sending letters to Gringotts."
Finding a handbag like object Grimfoot gave it to Harry saying, "All you will have to do is place your letter in it and I will receive the letter. It will vibrate when a letter is arrived."
There was a knock on the door which opened after Grimfoot gave his permission to enter. Griphook entered the office bowing his head he said, "I apologize to interrupt your meeting Manager Grimfoot but Lady Malfoy is here to meet Lord Black." he finished looking toward Harry.
"Please have her wait in a private meeting room." said Grimfoot.
A/N: To be continued…. Should I add some marriage contracts and if so, then which Families would you like in the contracts?
He will be meeting with Narcissa in the next chapter and Amelia after that and of course he would be 'greeting' them. There is a possibility of Minerva coming to surrey somehow.
Hope you will like it and would share what you would like in the story via reviews…
Till the next chapter,
Lord Maurya.
