Chapter Text
Harry woke up early in Grimmauld Place, the war had ended just over three months ago. Harry was a petite young man standing at 5’4’’, his ivory skin had scars from the war. Harry had killing curse green eyes that glowed when he was angry and shoulder length hair that was so black it seemed to draw in light. When Harry had gotten down to the kitchen, Kreacher his house elf was already making breakfast.
“Master has a letter” said Kreacher as he placed both the letter and the young man’s breakfast down in front of him. After eating the wizard looked at the letter.
“What do the goblins want?” Harry muttered to himself before opening the letter and started to read.
‘Dear Lord Potter,
We the goblins of Gringotts wish to speak with you on the matter of the damages coursed the last time you visited our fine establishment. Please come to Gringotts at your earliest convenience.
Ironhook,
Potter account manager.’
“Hm, Kreacher it seems I have somewhere to be today, could you run a bath and set out suitable clothes please.” Harry commanded gently.
“Of course, master, Kreacher will do that now.” Kreacher said, while Harry had gotten the house elf to speak in proper sentences, he couldn’t get the house elf to stop speaking in the third person.
Harry soaked in the bath for a little while before getting out to get dressed. Kreacher had laid out soft grey silk slacks with an emerald, green silk shirt and a soft grey silk over robe, Harry looked like a proper pureblood lord.
After he was ready Harry floo over to the leaky cauldron where he stepped out of the floo gracefully, and with a subtle wave of his finger any soot that was on his person from the floo vanished. Harry had found that after his defeat of Voldemort his magic came more easily to him, and he could do wandless magic. That was not to say that the restricted feeling he used to get while using his magic had gone completely as it hadn’t, but it had eased some.
Harry strode purposefully with his head held high to Gringotts and right up to one of the free tellers. Harry waited for the goblin to notice his person which didn’t take long.
“Yes, how may I help you today?” the goblin asked kinder than he would of normally as this wizard had waited for him to finish his task and had not rudely demanded his attention immediately.
“I received a missive this morning from Ironhook that requested my presence at my earliest convenience.” Harry said strongly but kindly to the goblin dealing with him.
“I shall have someone take you to him now sir.” The goblin teller said before calling for a younger goblin to show Harry to the account managers office and knocked before leaving Harry alone.
Before long, a strong, old voice from in the office called out “Come in.”
“Ah, Lord Potter thank you for coming in. Now onto business.” The old goblin, Ironhook said in a gravelly voice.
“Wait why do you call me Lord Potter?” Harry asked bewildered looking at the old goblin. Ironhook had a weathered face that was gnarled like an old tree, he had coal black beady eyes and a fanged smile. His ears and nose were long. His nose was bent and had a chunk missing as if it had been bitten.
“You mean to tell me that not only have you not got the letter that Gringotts sent you about receiving your inheritance early, but your magical guardian didn’t tell you that you were to be the Lord Potter when you came of age?!” Ironhook asked in shock making Harry frown at the goblin.
“The only letter I received from yourselves was the letter that led to my visit today.” Harry both confirmed the lack of inheritance letter which worried the goblin but also indicated that he had not been getting his statements which horrified the goblin further.
“If you haven’t been getting your letters and there have been many, who has been getting them?” Ironhook asked more to himself than Harry.
After a bit of thought Ironhook looked back at Harry then back down to his desk were he pulls out two pieces of parchment, two vials with a clear liquid and an athame.
“Please place seven drops of blood in each vial.” Ironhook said while handing Harry the vials and the wicked looking athame carefully.
“And what happens to the excess blood?” Harry asked warily, he had every right to be after what happened during the Triwizard tournament.
“The excess blood will be vanished, and the wound will heal after the required blood is given.” Ironhook said reassuringly to the young Lord. Harry nodded his head and cut his finger, he held the injured appendage over the vials and squeezed the required amount of blood into each vial. After that both the cut and the unused blood vanished. After he was sure there was in fact no blood on the athame Harry gave it and the two vials back to the old, gnarled goblin. Ironhook corked the vials and shook them vigorously. One of the vials after being shook turned a neon pink which made the old goblin quietly snarl, he then shook the other vial which turned red.
The vials were tipped onto the parchments. “Now we wait” Ironhook said to Harry who was starting to get a bad feeling but before he could ask the parchments finished and the old goblin grabbed the newly created documents.
The more the goblin had read the deeper his scowl got. Ironhook abruptly stood and strode over to his office door to poke his head out and barked at a passing goblin in the goblin’s secret language.
“What’s going on?” Harry asked getting worried.
“I’ve just called for a goblin healer to look over you, one of the potions I asked you to put blood into was to reveal what, if any tampering has occurred. There was a lot done to you.”
“What happens now?” Harry inquired to the old goblin overwhelmed by what he just learned.
“Well, first you will be going through a cleansing ritual then we will be going through the results of the potions, ritual and what was done to your accounts.” Ironhook informed the overwhelmed young man making said young man nod.
A grizzled ancient looking goblin entered the office after a quick knock on the ornate dark oak door. The ancient goblin hobbled into the room with a cane.
“Come young one.” The ancient goblin commanded in a way that left no room for arguments. Harry followed the hobbling goblin down the long hallway before going down a small unnoticed passageway that looked to be more like a cavern leading to the vaults in the bank. This hallway was winding, it narrowed some more before widening into a cavern with glittering gems in the floors, walls, and ceiling there was also runes carved into the ceiling, walls, and floor. Harry noticed that the closer they got to the middle of the cavern the runes got denser and were carved deeper into the floor. The runes on the floor in the middle of the cavern made a circle.
“Please step into the circle and sit as still as possible.” The ancient goblin croaked in a no-nonsense tone. Harry nodded and did what he was told. After Harry sat in the circle a group of six more ancient goblins entered the cavern from the opposite side than Harry and the first ancient goblin came in.
As the seven ancient goblins started to chant Harry started to feel a burning pain and a feeling of being squeezed all over. He also started to feel a dull stabbing pain in his stomach. As the chanting picked up so did the light that had been softly thrumming a healing green from the gems and runes in the cavern so now it was a bright healing green light very different from the green of the killing curse. The magic light gave a bright flash before the magic and light died down completely.
When the light died down the ancient goblins can see that the young Lord had changed, while the young lords build was now of a feminine hourglass build, his hips were wide with a thin but toned waist, his skin was a smooth pale porcelain. All the scars that the young lord had were now gone, his eyelashes were a sooty black and his hair now fell down to his waist in silky loose ringlets, the goblins couldn’t tell what colour the young lords’ hair was, as it kept changing. All in all, the young lord looked like the perfect carrier.
When Harry had got his breath back, he was led back to Ironhook’s office by the same ancient goblin that had originally taken him to the cavern. Once settled back into the office, Harry watched as the ancient goblin gave Ironhook a piece of parchment that Harry hadn’t noticed the goblin had, before watching the ancient goblin leave the room.
“Well, my young lord, shall we get down to the results of the potions and ritual?” Ironhook asked.
“Yes, please Ironhook” Harry replied in a soft tone.
Ironhook nodded and handed one of the earlier pieces of parchment over to Harry “This one is the results of the test for any tampering.” The goblin informed while Harry read.

After reading what was on the parchment Harry was livid and he wanted something to be done about the perpetrators.
“Can something be done about the perpetrators?” Harry inquired to the goblin.
“Yes, and it will be done as soon as we are finished here today.” Ironhook replied to the irate young lord. “Here is your inheritance test young lord.” The goblin followed up with while handing the petite lord the next piece of parchment.

“That is a lot of lordships.” Harry stated dazed to which the goblin nodded just as dazed before getting the needed portfolios. “Why does it say that I’m a pure blood?” Harry questioned the goblin.
“It would seem that your mother was not in fact a muggle born. Would you like to do a lineage test before we get onto your family portfolios?” Ironhook inquired coursing Harry to nod. The goblin nodded and pulled out another piece of parchment and the athame, the goblin handed Harry the objects with the instructions “Place seven drops of blood on to the parchment please.”
Harry did as told and watched seven drops of blood land on to the parchment, he watched as the excess blood vanished like before, then as if an invisible hand started to write with the blood names began to appear, all but Harry’s name turned black with a gold underlining, while his turned gold. Harry turned to the goblin “Why do the names have coloured underlines?” Harry inquired.
“The different colours have different meanings. purple for muggles. red for muggle-borns, green for squibs, blue for half-bloods, gold for pure bloods. The dead have a black and the colour of blood status underlining the name.” Ironhook explained to which Harry nodded and started to read.
‘Lineage test

All of the names on this parchment had a thick black underline indicating that Harry had no family left alive which wasn't shocking as he had already known that. What was shocking however was the fact that every name on the parchment was gold and his mother wasn't even Lilly Potter but Severus Snape.
“If Snape was my mother, then why was I with Petunia Dursley and why did everyone including Snape think that Lily Potter sorry Evens was my mother?” Harry asked in frustration.
“I believe that would be Albus Dumbledore’s fault.” Ironhook informed, “I however don’t know how he did it at least on as big of a scale as this.” Ironhook carried on a bit confused himself.
Ironhook handed me the ingoing and outgoing for the Potter accounts portfolio. “I’ve only given you the ingoing and outgoing for the Potter accounts as the other portfolio’s only have ingoing from the previous few Lord’s investments. The information is from the night your father died to the present day” Ironhook said as he handed the portfolio to Harry.

After reading the statement Harry was not amused at all. “This statement states that all but the money I personally took out was illegally done yet Gringotts allowed the theft year after year. You will be rectifying that immediately or I will be withdrawing everything from all of my vaults and finding an alternative method for keeping my money safe that is actually safe. This includes the money given to Petunia Dursley for my care as none of it was spent on myself as it was spent on the Dursley’s own son.” Harry said for the first time sounding like a pure blood lord an irate pure blood lord but a pure blood lord none the less.
Ironhook looked shocked then read over the statement himself, the more he read the angrier he got. Not only had a goblin helped multiple people steal from a client who’s vaults he himself over sees and thus damaged the reputation of Gringotts but also this goblin had done this to the wealthiest client Gringotts had. This goblin and it had to be a goblin for only goblins could gain any access to the vaults to do this would be facing goblin justice and it will be bloody.
“This will be sorted right away my lord, we the goblins of Gringotts do apologize profusely. Please know that when the goblin that helped Dumbledore is found they will be facing goblin justice.” Ironhook said quickly.
“It had better, on to a different but related note I feel that it would be best if Gringotts sent a letter to the male Weasleys bar Ronald suggesting they come into see if they themselves have been tampered with, as just from my tests alone Molly Weasley has proven she is not above theft and tampering with people.” Harry said to which the goblin nodded. “Now I do believe there was only the results of the ritual left to go through and the matter of the damages, no?” Harry asked as he wanted this over with now.
“Yes, of course my lord with the matter of the damages Gringotts will wave your part of the cost as you did not participate of your own free will. Now onto the results of the ritual.” Ironhook said while handing the last piece of parchment to the exasperated young lord.

Harry heaved a relieved sigh then looked at the goblin sat before him. “Is there anything else we need to go through today?” Harry inquired he was exhausted, and he just wanted to go home and sleep, Harry had spent the whole day at Gringotts, so he had the right to want to nap.
“No young lord there is nothing else that needs your attention today. Thank you for coming to Gringotts today.” Ironhook said handing Harry his families’ portfolios. “May your coffers overflow.” Ironhook said to the weary lord.
“And may your enemies tremble at your blade.” Harry spoke the answering phrase before leaving not only Gringotts but also Diagon Alley with a heavy mind.
