44 securing the future

As I enter Gringotts, I directly go to the end of the hall, at the same place when I first came to the bank, looking for my blood inheritance. Seeing the free goblin, I made my way there.

"Greetings teller, it seems that I will once again need to take some of your time."

When the goblin looks at the wizard, he couldn't remember seeing him.

"I have need of your service around two months ago for indicating me the way for a blood Inheritance." I could see light shone in his eyes as he made the link.

"You have changed since wizard."

"Fortunately for me, yes, but let's not talk about this. I just came out of a Wisengamot session was I was given bills to take to Gringotts in order to take what is now mine since my enemies have fallen." As I say this, I give him the bills claiming the 60,100,000.00G that Lily owns me, the 7,600,000.00G from James, 50,000,000.00G from Dumbles, and finally the 2,001,000.00G from the Weasley. When the goblin sees the sums, a shark smile appears on his face.

"You sure know how to choose your enemy, Heir Evans."

"Well, I single, I need to be able to feed myself." We share a small laugh at this before returning to the subject.

"You will need to see the different account managers of those vaults in order process further."

"Would you know if master Headcrusher is available now?"

The goblin nod before calling for an assistant who returns three minutes later.

"Master Headcrusher will see you now, Heir Evans."

"Thank you for your time."

"Heir Evans, want is this urgent matter?"

I say nothing but slip the bills to him. Reading them, he takes a ledger out of one of his drawers.

"At the moment, the total available gold in the Potter vault is only, 59,948,047.00G, they are unable to honor their debt, you can ask for another form of compensation, the Potter charter allows the trade of pieces of jewelry to the actual market to pay off the difference."

"How much of their pieces of jewelry?"

"As they own you 67,700,000.00G and thus a difference of 7,641,953.00G and most of the actual pieces are deemed illegal by the Ministry, they will still own you 2,865,245.00G"

"Is there anything else that we could take?"

"Yes, potions ingredients, if we use them, they still own your money as the majority of the ingredients are in seed state and their values are not as high as full growth herbs."

"How much still rest?" after a rapid calculus he was given a price.

"564,487.00G"

"Does the Potter charters say something about this?"

"Yes, if they became unable to honor their debt, anything else in the vaults is to be sized to compensate it."

"So that leave books, do they cover it?"

"While they indeed possess books they are family magic grimoires."

"Since I'm not a Potter, their values to me are only of what they are made. 'Sigh' So be it, I'm willing to take them for the debt, if they still own me money, then I will task Gringotts to retrieve anything they could from the Potter to compensate fully my claim. Since they are unable to pay entirely from their vaults you will have to take payment from them as it not my responsibility to found a solution for their inability to honor it."

At this Headcrusher's smile surface. Gringotts love to visit wizard House when their own money and since their client were unable to honor their debts, they will evaluate their Householding under goblins standard. It wouldn't be farfetched to say that House Potter his now ruined.

"Do you have a preference?"

"Yes, artifacts on the level of invisibility cloak and the like first, after that books, after that I leave it in your hand. I don't want shares of business or house deeds."

"Very well. Now, for Mr.Dumbledore vault, as it possesses enough money, they won't be a problem. For the Weasley family on the other hand... They don't have more than a tenth of the first 1,000.00G they own you."

"Same as Potter, sell the land where their house sits, if it's not enough, it will fall on the elder Weasley children to pay off until the debt is covered."

I have nothing Against the other two but it won't be perturbed my sleep. They were the first to act against me and they are old Pureblood, if they couldn't see it coming they could only blame the lack of education from their parents.

"When do you think everything will be arranged?"

"The entire content of the Potter vaults have been sized and have been left with nothing since the Heir trust vaults entire 110,000.00G have been also empty to pay off the debt. All they have left his Potter Manor who he actually emptied to pay off the last of the debt and Gringotts will size the propriety to pay for our part so they are left with their cottage in Godric's Hollow. If you have time to spare, they should be done in a few minutes."

True to his words, twenty-five minutes later, a goblin enters to report that both debts have been pay in the fullest, and Alex was given a parchment containing his new acquisition now in his vault. Browsing it while exiting the bank, he sees an invisibility cloak listed to have been taken from the Head of House office.

"Bilby!"

"Yes, master?"

"I want to see the invisibility cloak that his in my vault and have everything other send to the manor, along with the gold, I will not let them the chance to take it back."

"Yes, master."

He pops off and three-second latter he had it in his hand, as he did have the time now, it was sent in is storage.

"I was waiting for Chrismas to do it but since I have time now let's attempt it now. Bilby, I need to go to Little Hangleton, could you pop us there?"

"Of course master."

The two vanish from the middle of the Alley, only to reappear in the outskirt of a little village between it and a cemetery. Going for the latter, they rapidly arrive. Taking the occasion that the surrounding was empty, he rapidly changes for a jean, a white T-shirt, and a self-made Pikachu sweater with ears and tail. The only thing that didn't change was his dragon hide heavy boots.

It didn't take long before he was facing the stone statue on the elder Riddle grave.

"Bilby, this is the tomb of Voldemort father, I need for you to destroy the bones inside and change them by anything else." He had told the truth of the Horcrux and Voldemort to him, as he would be his sole companion to chase them. Understanding the gravity of the situation he does as his master asks and takes the surrounding dried branches to replicate a human skeleton, switch it with the one in the tomb before Alex transmutes it in a pile of calcium and other minors elements compositing it.

"Ok now came the harder part. Not far from their exist a little shack that contains the ring, I need you to guide me to the wards please."

Taking the hand of his master, he pops them to the nearest wards he could feel, leaving only a few inches of their boundary. The moment he appears he was assaulted by the foreign through of exiting the place, he swats it away knowing that they were there.

Lightly tapping his foot on the ground, the earth under the open, making them fall a few feet underneath. As he didn't feel the wards anymore he couldn't help but shake his head.

"They truly are morons, what good it does if the wards didn't completely surround the propriety. Bilby, can you tell me how far is shack from here?"

"Sixty feets master."

"Humm."

At this, he put his hand on the earth in front of him, and in arcs of blue lightning, it open, leaving compacted walls on the side and roof to support the tunnel. Walking to its end, he starts to dig upward, and after trying for two minutes, a box falls from it. encasing in in a ball of earth, he stores it before returning the earth in his original state, leaving no trace of their passage.

"Let go home first Bilby, once I'm done with it you can pop me in my room at Hogwarts."
