13 Vault

Stefan walked out of the room, and behind him were the eggs levitating and the old man who was following with respect in his eyes.

Borgin was playing with a shrunken head as he noticed the little kid came out of the room with two eggs behind him and an old man. He paid attention to both of the eggs and noticed both of them were a success.

As Borgin proceed to take them the eggs flew behind Stefan and heard the little boy saying "The deal was only 1 fusion Borgin. I made 2 you will have to give me something else... I don't like taking the short end of the stick" said Stefan while looking at Borgin with a calm face.

"Of course I wouldn't dare... Young Sir, I'll sell one accord of our first dealing... And the second one I'll give you 50% of the bidding price, as per the fix quotes." said Borgin while looking at Stefan with a serious face.

"I want new books, you know which ones... The more the better, and I will just take 30% of the bidding price" said Stefan while calculating the price of the eggs and asking the same value but with knowledge.

"Deal" said Borgin with a nasty smile on his face, while the eggs behind Stefan flew to Borgin as he took them inside a pouch around his neck.

"How much time do you need to find those books?" said Stefan as he smiled with a calm face.

"3 weeks... Maybe more" said Borgin with a serious face.

"Maybe if you found out more powerful like 4 bloodlines eggs I could make the fusion... and" said Stefan as he got interrupted while talking.

"Deal" said Borgin while looking at him with a smile on his face.

"But thinking about it, maybe I will have no time to do the fusions... I have to search for more books..." said Stefan while looking innocently at Borgin.

"2 weeks... No... 1 week will be enough..." said Borgin while lifting his fingers.

"In one-week young sir will receive his books and his part of the money...please give me your account, young sir to make a deposit to your Gringotts account." said Borgin with a nervous face.

"Ok... It's a deal, I will come here with the Gringotts account tomorrow or maybe the day after tomorrow." said Stefan while smiling at him.

"Oh and I want info, about a prison..." said Stefan mysteriously while looking at Borgin.

"Which prison?... Azkaban... There's no way to break in there... There is a nest of Dementors there, the moment they detect you, you will wish to be dead because getting caught would be hell..." said Borgin with a face filled with bad memories.

"Let's talk about the details right now..." said Stefan with a smile on his face.

"Maybe it is possible... but it's going to be expensive..." said Borgin while looking at the boy with a serious gaze.

"Just do it, I want the information." said Stefan as he apparated with the homeless man to the main office of Mary at the legal buffet.

"Young Master I wasn't expecting you... Should I order some food?" said Mary while standing from her chair and bowing to him..." said Mary while looking with an inquisitive face to the old man behind him.

Stefan turned around to see the homeless man and said "What's your name?"

The man kneeled on the floor while looking at the floor and said "My name is Marco, Young Master"

"Get up Marco, starting from today Mary is going to be your boss, did you hear me?, you will treat her with the same respect you would treat me..." said Stefan while looking at Marco, he then snapped his fingers and all of the appearance of Marco changed from a homeless man, to be a man in his fifty that seemed to be a bartender.

"Mary I want Marco to be at the bar. He will be in charge of looking for those bastards that want to sell their soul...and you will be focused on the legal buffet" said Stefan as he ordered at Mary.

"Young Master everything will be done exactly as you order." said Mary while bowing to him.

"Ok explained to him the essential parts, I will not be here from some days, you know already what to do... I want results this month..." said Stefan with a serious gaze as he looked at Mary and apparated away to the orphanage.

As Stefan apparated away, Mary and Marco stare at each other for a few moments till Mary started talking "Welcome aboard Marco... I hope you do your best for our master... don't screw up this, you should have heard the last part of the conversation... he wants results. I will explain everything to you, then you will ask at the end of the explanation what did you not understand" said Mary while looking at Marco with an inquisitive face.

"Ok Miss Mary, thank you" said Marco with a subservient voice.

Mary with a satisfied face started to explain everything to him, as she finished telling him everything necessary to do the job she asked "Any doubt?"

"Don't worry I will handle everything properly" said Marco with a subservient voice.

"Ok let's go to the bar I will introduce you to the staff there, I will give you some money for you to rent a place, and you will start tomorrow." said Mary as she started walking out of the room and behind her was Marco following her.

------------------------------

The next day after taking Marco to meet Mary, Stefan woke up and started thinking about the information he wanted from Borgin. "Sigh, I hope he gets it... it would be less trouble for me..." said Stefan as he walked next to the eggs the ones he got from Burgin and one from the Magic Menarie, and disinterestedly started playing with them. "They are of no use to me... I should sell them to Borgin they are just two bloodlines eggs, next time I see him, I will give them to him to take care of the things. "Let's go to Gringotts maybe I will be able to gauge their security systems..."

Stefan apparated away to Diagon alley in front of the Magic Menarie and started walking straight to Gringotts, as he got to Gringotts he observed for a second time their golden warning craved in the doors.

"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."

"Huh let's find it out then..." thought Stefan as he walked inside Gringotts and saw everywhere little creatures with big heads, pointy ears, and large hands, making transactions with every customer or some of them were using a scale to weigh the gold, while others were scanning precious gems like diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, etc.

He walked to the counter where a goblin was examining a key that was a little bend with a pained face while muttering "it is going to cost me 5 galleons to fix this... Oh my money..."

"Excuse me Im here to open an account, whats the procedures?" said Stefan while watching with an interesting look at the creature in front of him, that had tears on his eyes while keeping an eye at the bent key.

"You can open an account here, but you need to bring your parents with you" said the goblin that was still staring at his bend key with tears on his eyes.

"I'm an orphan is there no other way, Mr?" said Stefan while looking at the goblin with his innocent 9-year-old child face.

"There's no other way, don't make me lose my time...Time is money..." said the Goblin trying to cast a repaired spell at the key but the key still kept the bent form.

Stefan furrowed his brows as he heard the replied of the goblin, and as he was about to use his hypnosis powers on the goblin, his eyes shined with an idea...

"Aiya to think I was going to help with that bend key... Now it seems you're going to have to pay 5 galleons to get it fixed... Aiya, it is too hurtful for me watching someone that doesn't appreciate the good value of saving money..." said Stefan as he changed his calm face to one with pity while sighing, and he turned around and started walking... he took two steps as the goblin said to him "Maybe I could help you with your account... but I need you to help me save the 5 galleons." said the Goblin with a nervous face.

"Aiya I would like to help you but I need a special account that counts with a special vault to keep my valuable belongings... You sure have to understand my friend... Just by imagining that someone can steal my valuables makes my heart tightened..." said Stefan while putting a painful face on his face.

"Oh I understand you, my friend the moment I saw my bend key my heart started dripping blood just for imagining the 5 galleons I was going to lose. Maybe I could help you... you need a mortgage or a valuable possession to apply to the account with a vault in the undergrounds..." said the goblin while looking at the little kid with silver hair and silver eyes, and winked at him.

"What a nice surprised my dear friend I do really have a valuable possession that can act as a mortgage to have access to a vault account." said Stefan as he took one of the eggs from inside of a basket he had with him and showed it to the goblin.

"But friend, I would really appreciate if you could help me to have a vault the deeper it can be...But for the start let me help you with that bent key" said Stefan as he took the bent key from the hands of the goblin and put it between his hands where he covered it with his black fog rapidly and repaired it...

"Here you have my friend" said Stefan as he gave back the key as new to the goblin that looked at the key with a surprised face and started grinning while saying "I save my money... my money" with a stupid face.

The goblin smiled at him and said, "Fill this application form please, my friend."

Stefan took it and filled it fastly and give it back at the goblin and said "I'm Stefan it is nice to meet someone so passionate about the money as I do... I will be in your care, take this egg as a gift from me to you."

"Thank you, Stefan, I will take charge of opening your account personally, do not worry I will not leave your valuable possessions to be in a low-grade vault by the way my name is Strigz." said the goblin while smiling at him and walking away with his application form.

The goblin started moving from stand to stand to talk with the goblins, one by one, till he got back with a piece of paper with a stamp on it that said approved, but there was a blank space where it reads vault number...

Let's go, my friend, said the goblin while walking away from the counter and walked to the railroad with Stefan behind him following while looking at everything, if someone paid attention to Stefan they would notice his eyes flashed black with a silver iris on it for a fraction of second and they got normal, but this process was done many times.

"Let's get inside the moving cart" said the Goblin as he entered it, followed by Stefan.

And the ride started the moving cart was moving so fast, from right to left, then go left to right, then it took a passage, it was all a complicated route to remember, and suddenly flames went out of a passage... as Stefan saw that he growled "How many dragons are inside ?" the moving cart kept moving but he could hear a reply "At least 20, who are you?" but the last part sound so weak because the moving cart kept moving, it moved at least for half an hour till they get to a chamber with the number 777, they got up from the moving cart and the goblin said. "I got you a nice vault it is a very deep one, it once belonged to one of the 28 sacred families but they followed a dark lord and perished... leaving all the contents to the magic ministery who already claimed all of the contents..."

"Which dark lord?" said Stefan while looking at the vault that was still closed...

"Gellert Grindelwald" said the goblin while showing fear on his eyes...

"Thank you so much for the help my friend... I would like to ask you something... but I don't know if it would be proper to do it..." said Stefan with a troubled face.

"Friend ask anything, I will answer you everything I can." said the goblin while looking cautiously what is he going to ask.

"What do I need for having a dragon protecting my vault ?" said Stefan while looking seriously at the goblin.

"Oh That, naturally you need to exceed a richness threshold, to have an opportunity to apply for that, but don't worry when the threshold is met, a letter will let you know about it, and the certain rules to have the dragon taking care of the vault." said the goblin while looking with a smile on his face to the little boy named Stefan.

"Huh Ok, so what are the proceedings here my friend, what do I need to do? to have this vault to be mine?" said Stefan while looking at the vault.

"Easy, this will be your new key, and I will be your goblin that will take care of the vault if you're not around to proportionate the key, obviously I cannot open it without your consent like a letter, or some wizards send their patronus." said the goblin as he gave a gold key to Stefan and then put his hand on a certain part of the wall, and the vault opened... it was a big vault... like a big big vault... you could have an entire football stadium inside this vault easily.

"There are charms you can hire with us, to make it more sure, you just have to pay us, and someone will take of it, but they are expensive, so if you don't need them I would say the same thing you think friend, save money.

"Ok, I understand..." said Stefan as he walked in the center of the field and left the remaining egg he had with him there.

Stefan walked out of the chamber, and the vault closed automatically, they got inside the moving cart and as the moving cart was moving back to the surface Stefan periodically started to growled "I will come back... where is the 6 level one..." while coughing periodically...

"Are you okay my friend? looks like you have a little bit of nausea" said the goblin as he saw Stefan growling... he thought Stefan had nausea as he remembered on the way to the vault hearing him coughing in the same way.

There was another blast of flames coming from another passage with a growl accompanying the flames. "Vault 999, save us"
