The Black prophecy #46

I’m sorry for the delay guys, my internet provider was doing a maintenance in my area and I just got my connection back!

Chapter 46: Inheritance

- How do I look? – Harry came from downstairs to the kitchen in Grimmauld place.

The Black sisters were already enjoying breakfast and in the case of Narcissa she was making the breakfast, Andromeda was wearing a long white dress, Bellatrix was using her typical working clothes, a sleeveless white blouse and tight blue jeans, Narcissa was wearing a yellow blouse and a black mini skirt.

The three sisters were staring at Harry with amazed expressions as he managed to fix his hair in a simple style, like an open book, he was wearing contact lenses and he was dressed in a black suit with a red tie, he was blushing as he felt their looks.

- Hey handsome… What did you do with our adorable Harry uh? Are you an impostor? – Andromeda got close to Harry as she pointed at him with a hand on her hip.

Harry laughed softly at the older sister’s joke.

- I don’t think you should be dressed like that Harry, no, I don’t like it, what if some lady tries to take you away from us? – Bellatrix said in a fake hurt tone.

The other sisters laughed at her comment and Harry’s blush was getting deeper and deeper.

- Come on girls, leave the poor boy alone, he’ll be late! – Narcissa said as she got close to the younger man who looked at a clock that was on the kitchen’s wall.

- You’re right Cissy… Dora must be already waiting for me! – Harry said in a hurry.

- Come on, take this at least – Narcissa handled him a piece of buttered toast and he tried to chew it as fast as he could.

Harry ran to the “fridge” and took a bottle of milk that was almost empty and then he drank what was left so he wouldn’t choke on his food, the Black sisters were amused with the way Harry was acting, they approached him again.

- Good luck with your meeting – Andromeda told him before she kissed him softly.

He smiled through the kiss.

- Yes, I hope you get lots of money I already thought of a way to celebrate! Let's do a party, we’ll throw the house through the window! – Bellatrix told him and Harry couldn’t help but feel a little scared of her ideas.

- I’ll consider it Bella – He said a little embarrassed and Bella smiled at him before she claimed his lips.

Bellatrix as always was playing her best cards and right now she was kissing him the way only she knew how to do it, she was kissing him so roughly but he was enjoying it there’s no doubt about that.

- Don’t worry Harry, she’s just joking... But if you want to take us to the Paris fashion week we wouldn’t complain – Narcissa winked at him after she said that.

Harry didn’t know how to answer those petitions, it sounded like a lot of money and right now he wasn’t even sure if he had enough just to survive for a month, suddenly his thoughts were interrupted as he felt Narcissa kissing him.

This time he reacted quickly to the kiss and he was the one who deepened it as he knew that Narcissa liked to be taken care of, he wanted to kiss her more but suddenly, she broke the kiss.

- Shit… The cake – She told him before she ran towards the oven to turn off the heat – Thank god it didn’t burn – Narcissa sighed.

- Another cake? – Harry was surprised this was the third in one week.

- Yes, I was in the mood for a German cake… Trust me, you’re going to love it, it will be practically just chocolate! – She smiled at him.

- That’s awesome dear – Harry mumbled in a defeated tone.

He didn’t want to admit it, but he was already getting a little tired of cakes, it seems like his body was telling him to stop with the sugar level he was putting inside, he wasn’t so eager to eat cake again.

- I promise you guys this is the last one, it’s just that… I’ve been in the mood for cake lately – Narcissa smiled at them.

- Your cakes are amazing Cissa… But let’s not exaggerate or else our bodies could end up hating them! – Narcissa smiled at his words – Shit… I’m losing time here discussing these things! See you later… - Harry was ready to apparate until he realized that he forgot something – Andy, Bella, and Cissa… Don't forget that I love you – He said with a huge grin to the sisters before he finally disappeared.

The sisters were surprised to hear him say those words, they weren’t used to Harry taking a lead role, but they were happy to see that he was getting better in their relationship, they were eager to see how their relationship was going to develop in the next few years.

Harry finally did it, he landed outside Gringotts, he was trying to get on his feet until he felt that someone was already grabbing him.

- I’m sorry I promise you that it wasn’t my intention to come late! – Said Harry feeling a little dizzy due to the apparition.

- Don’t worry… I’m not going to do anything to you, I was just trying to help you… You looked as if you were about to fall on the floor – Harry nodded at her.

It took Harry less than a minute to finally get back to his senses, he really hated apparating.

- Are you ready? – Now Harry actually paid attention to Nymphadora.

The older woman was dressed in a sleeveless white blouse, a black tight skirt, she was wearing fishnets on her legs and also black stilettos, Harry gulped as he studied her, she looked so sexy right now with her longs and thick legs, but he quickly shook his head to get back to reality.

But Harry suddenly felt weird, he looked behind him, he was so focused trying to find something, but there was nothing.

- Harry… What’s wrong? – Asked Dora looking at him a little worried.

- Nothing it’s just that… I feel strange right now… As if someone was spying on us or something like that – Harry said.

Nymphadora looked in the direction he was looking at before but she couldn’t find anything.

- There’s nothing Harry – Nymphadora was getting worried, if someone had stalked them, it was a powerful person as it disappeared quickly.

This was a strange situation, so, Nymphadora tried to ease the tension by taking his hand.

- Don’t worry, no one would dare to lay a hand on you as long as we’re together! – Dora smiled at him as she touched his hand and enjoyed the way it felt.

Harry nodded as he saw the way their hands were connected.

- Shall we enter then? – Nymphadora finally broke the silence.

- Yes yes, let’s get onto it – He told her and Nymphadora nodded.

They entered inside the bank, the goblin in charge was going to kick them out, but Harry quickly handed him the letter that they sent him, the goblin quickly apologized.

- Someone so important, I hope I didn’t offend you nor your wife! – He told them.

Nymphadora blushed after she heard that implication.

- No no, please, we’re not married, but forget about that, don’t worry, everyone makes mistakes! – Harry tried to calm down the goblin who was on the verge of tears to ask for forgiveness – Why don’t you take us with the goblin in charge of my inheritance? – Harry smiled at the chief and he nodded.

He took them to a specific part of the bank, there were many cubicles, but they stopped at the one that had engraved the name “Griphook”

- Once again… My apologies, please enter – Harry and Nymphadora nodded at him before they entered inside the goblins office who was writing a letter while he looked at a countability book.

Nymphadora and Harry were on their feet, waiting for the creature to stop what he was doing, but he was too focused on doing that, so, Harry decided to clarify his voice.

- Uh… Sorry, good morning we want to discuss something important matters regarding my inheritance—Harry was cut off by a groan from the creature.

- You need to appoint a date first, and if you’re lucky you’ll get a notification if the solicitude was accepted—The goblin couldn’t continue as Harry cut him off.

- My name is Harry James Potter – He said in a stern tone.

Nymphadora was surprised to hear him talk like that, he sounded like some kind of authority that wanted to be respected, she couldn’t help but blush and gulp at the way he was acting, he was looking at the creature with an annoyed expression, he was ready to tear down the place if no one gave him the attention that he thought he deserved, at first they send him letters because they want to talk with him and when he’s finally here, no one wants to help him.

The goblin quickly stopped in his tracks once he heard that name, he almost made the book fall on the ground, he gulped as he looked at the raven-haired man, he looked so intimidating judging by the way he was looking at the creature.

- I-I beg your pardon, Mr. Potter, please, understand that we’re kind of busy right now – The goblin tried to justify the reason why he treated them like that – Please, take a seat! – He told them in an encouraging tone.

Nymphadora and Harry looked at each other, completely surprised by the change in attitude from the goblin, but in the end, they nodded at each other and accepted the seat that he offered them.

- Don’t worry Mr… Griphook – Harry said as he reads the plate on his desk – Let’s just get to business so this doesn’t take too much of your time then – Harry smiled sarcastically at the creature.

Nymphadora felt proud of the way Harry handled the situation, she didn’t know what happened but it seemed like Harry was getting more confident In himself.

- We will take as long as we need Mr. Potter, there’s a lot of things to discuss after all – The goblin told them completely forgetting about the early misunderstanding.

He got on his feet and looked around the many books on his shelf and he finally found one that had written a number on the spine, “1980”, he quickly placed it on his desk and searched around.

- Okay right, here we are… Potter, Harry James, file 310780-A – Said the creature as he moved around the place after he took a key where a lot of folders were saved, he searched through them until he finally found the file he was looking for.

The folder wasn’t so thick, but still, the goblin never stopped smiling the whole time he was dealing with that folder.

- I have wanted to speak with you as soon as you turned eighteen Mr. Potter, but the government always does an investigation before handling the inheritance to its respective owner… - Harry was curious in the goblin’s words – You see, in the last war, many people had invested in illegal stuff, like rare animal breeding, illegal minerals, forbidden potions, potion trafficking into the muggle world – Harry gulped after he heard that – When it comes to money no one cares if it comes from a wizard or a muggle, the thing here it’s that, that kind of practices violate lots of regulations, Voldemort promised them to do as they want with their money, that’s why many people saw an opportunity in investing in certain stuff so, they wouldn’t be broke after the war – Harry nodded after he heard that.

The goblin continued looking at the pages of the files and he didn’t seem to find anything wrong with them.

- Sadly for them, many died before they got a glimpse of their fortune, karma works wonderfully sometimes, the thing here is that they still had heirs who were going to receive that blood money… Thankfully the government made investigations to take any galleon gotten from illegal means – The goblin smirked.

- It seems like not only the government benefited from it right? – Asked Nymphadora surprising them.

- Yes, of course, miss, we’re not a charity, we have to function somehow… We got our share and the government got theirs too, you would be surprised to know that thanks to that blood money we didn’t end up in a depression after the death of Voldemort – The goblin smirked at them once again.

Harry was a little creeped out by this creature’s attitude, he didn’t trust him, but there was nothing he could do, there wasn’t anyone in their world to take care of the money than the goblins, he decided to let it go and let him do his job.

- Okay let’s get to the point Mr. Potter, the investigations concluded that there isn’t anything illegal regarding your inheritance… In monetary terms we have a specified quantity for your studies of about fifty thousand galleons that were successfully handed to your guardian in the year 1981 – Harry nodded, Sirius always reminded him that the money of his savings was just for his school and pure school-related stuff, of course, that included his dates and trips with Hermione, that’s why he doesn’t have too much right now.

- Yes… That’s correct – Harry mumbled eager to see if there was more.

- There are also the results from investments in the muggle world, a publishing company, soy, and comp- camp… Computers? I don’t know what’s that but the details are in the file if you wish to see them later – Harry nodded he knew what the goblin was talking about.

The younger man smiled, his mother was probably the one responsible for the computer thing.

- Those three investments have resulted in a quantity of over one hundred and fifty thousand galleons – Harry was shocked to hear that, it was a lot of money, Nymphadora smiled at him – But that’s not all, regarding the properties, there’s a cottage in a beach in the south of Spain and also… The Potter manor – Harry gulped after he heard that.

That’s the place where his parents had been killed, he had never been there, he didn’t know why but he had an idea why Sirius didn’t take him there.

- Don’t worry… It has been arranged after… Well, you know the incident with “You know who” – The goblin told him a little uncomfortable – If you want to do something regarding your inheritance, like selling, investments, retire some money, you’re free to ask me right now, also… You and your witness will need to read this and sign it… It’s a form that proves that you were informed correctly of what you own – Griphook passed them a paper with long text and small letters.

Harry remained in his seat, he didn’t know what to do, this was the time to make decisions, a part of him wanted to get rid of the house in which his parents were killed but another part of him want to go and see the place when he lived with them, in the end, he read the form that the goblin handled him and decided to sign it to keep the house.
