(Scáthach) "My name is Scáthach but can call me teacher. Here is a book on building a fortress in your mind. It should help with all those extra memories in your head. I will talk with your house-elf and come back to you in a few hours."

Tooby follows Lady Scáthach out of Harry's room. After walking for a bit they come to a large room and she sits down in a chair looking at him to speak. Tooby hands her the letter from his master and waits for her to read it.

Letter

Dear Lady Scáthach,

I hope this letter finds you well. I would like to thank you for saving my grandson. If there's anything the House of Potter can do for you please let me know. The house-elf that came to give you the letter can bring back your responses. If not he will stay and help you look after Harry. I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely Lord Fleamont Potter

Letter Ends

Scáthach sits back and thinks about what she just read. Looking at the house-elf waiting for her response.

(Scáthach) "You know you're not strong enough to be his house-elf. I need you to go back and get three more of your kind. Two must be female and you need a wife. His power plus my realm will affect your kind. I will allow you to bring messages back and forth after you do this. Now go and be quick about it."

Meanwhile back on Earth Connor and Fleamont reach an agreement. When Tooby pops in on them. He told them all what Lady Scáthach had said. Fleamont told Connor he would come back with some help. Then Fleamont made a trip to Gringotts to talk with his account manager.

Arlok was sitting in his office going through some paperwork. When he hears a knock on the door. He looked at the clock trying to think of who would come to him. As his only client is too young to be coming here. The knocking continued so he told them to come in. He was surprised to see Lord Potter walk through the door. He, like everyone else, though he was dead because Albus Dumbledore told everyone he was dead.

(Arlok) "It is good to see you, Lord Potter. I am glad your death was a lie because I need your help right now. Albus Dumbledore has been taking money out of your vaults and just sent a betrothal contract for Harry with Ginny Wesley. Now that you're here we can stop this and what do you want to do with this contract?"

(Fleamont) "As head of the Potter family, I want to speak with Arthur Weasley today. So I need you to send him a letter about the meeting. Also need to speak with the head of the Bones, Greengrass, Longbottom, Patil, Ollivander, and Scamander families. Hopefully tomorrow at noon. Did my wife come by early Arlok?"

(Arlok) "Yes, she did come by but didn't get anything done because she had a run-in with Narcissa Malfoy. So I didn't get to talk with her as she was making sure no one knew who she was. I only know this because I was upfront when it happened. She did get the will but had to leave as she didn't feel well. Is there anything else you need Lord Potter? If not let us get down to business fixing your accounts. I have someone bring Arthur Weasley a mess for him to come here soon."

Ten Minutes Later at the Ministry of Magic

Arthur Weasley was sitting in his office going over some paperwork. When a letter from Gringotts shows up on his desk. Opening the letter and reading it he immediately packs up his things and heads out of the office.

Meanwhile back in Gringotts Arlok had sent off the letters. He and Fleamont were waiting on Arthur Weasley to come. It had been fifth teen minutes when they heard a knock on the door. Tell the person to come in; they smile as Arthur walked through the door.

(Fleamont) "It nice to see you again Lord Weasley. I hope your day has been going well. I need you to sit down so we can tell you why you're here."

After Arthur sat down he looked at both of them waiting for them to start speaking. He had a long day so far and still had some paperwork that needed to be done.

(Fleamont) "Now we have a little problem that we need to talk about. I have a betrothal contract for Harry with Ginny Wesley. I want to know if you approved of this betrothal contract? Or did Albus Dumbledore do this with the help of your wife?"

(Arthur) "What betrothal contract? I didn't approve of anything like that. I don't have the money for a dowry or anything like that. You can destroy that contract right now. I take care of my wife when I get home. Is there anything else you need Lord Potter?"

(Fleamont) "There is something I could use your help with. If you have time tomorrow come here at noon. I am having a meeting with other families about helping my grandson. I will destroy this contract and hope to see you tomorrow."

After Arthur left the room Fleamont and Arlok talked more about the accounts. I took about an hour to get things headed in the right direction. Tomorrow was going to be a busy day for both of them. Fleamont headed back home so he could read the will in peace.

Arcturus was standing outside a house looking a bit nervous. As he did not know how the people in the house would act when they saw him. Andromeda and her husband Edward Tonks (aka Ted) were sitting down for dinner when they heard a knock on their door. They both looked at each other for a bit then Ted got up to answer the door. He was surprised to see an older gentleman standing at the door.

(Ted) "May I ask who you are looking for sir?"

(Arcturus) "Yes, I am looking for Edward Tonks and his wife Andromeda. Would you happen to know them?"

(Ted) "I am Edward Tonks what do you need from me and my wife sir?"

(Arcturus) "I would like to speak with you both please. My name is Arcturus Black your wife's grandfather. Can I come in to talk with you both?"

Ted stood there for a bit then let him in the house. Taking to the dining room where his wife was sitting down at the table. Until she saw her grandfather walking with her husband. Not knowing what to say to him she just stood up and looked at him.

Back at Potter's castle, Fleamont had just got home. His wife was laying down asleep so he didn't wake her up. He found the will sitting on the small table by the bed. He opened it up and read a summarised version of the will.
