Gringotts Bank Main Office

Diagon Alley, London

'Ahh Goblins, the money loving species'

"Lord Onyx we've been waiting for your arrival for a while now"

"I got here as soon as possible, you know how difficult it's for an international wizard especially from States to be granted permission here for longer stay then a few days visit"

"Oh that'll be no longer a problem for you Lord onyx from today onwards, come it's time to open Black family will" 'So he died, huh'

"When did Grandfather passed away?

"4 weeks ago"

"And why's there no one else from Black family here other than me?"

"Because the deceased Lord Black only wanted you to be here"

"Brodrok bring the will, and the blood inheritance chalice to my office"

"Blood inheritance test? Then you know I'll be asking for both magic contract and written magic pact of no use of my blood for anything else then the test" 'Never ever trust anyone with use of your blood, it'll only lead to painful death'

"50 Galleon" '500 pounds for simple contract these blood suckers' "Here" flew out 50 magically enchanted gold coin from his coat pocket.

"Here's the contract, sign it" After reading twice the whole contract and checking for any anomalies through Magic scan Shoryaz signed it.

"100 Galleon" 'And here goes 1000 pounds' Dozens of Galleons flew out from his pocket and on the desk and the goblins started counting with a glee. He then filled all the Galleons in a pouch and started writing the magic pact after finishing turn it to Shoryaz.

After double checking the pact he hold out his one hand to hold the pact and other to hold Goblin hand in a firm handshake so did the Goblin and both wills their magic along with the words "So mote it be" with that both the contract and pact started burning without leaving any residue. 'Little expensive but a double insurance that can't be bypassed'

"Okay Grodrock let's start then with all the formalities done"

The Goblin knocked twice on his table and another goblin brought a silver chalice and family tree scroll of Black family. "Three drop of blood will suffice"

Shoryaz after scanning the chalice wills his magic and a minute cut appeared on his finger from which exactly three drop of blood poured out in silver chalice. After a few second the blood started boiling and the silver chalice started changing to Gold in colour along with that changes started in family tree chart, new name started adding up.

[Arcturus Black - Melania Macmillan] => [Orion, Lucretia, Phineas]

[Phineas Black - Sophia Onyx] => [Shoryaz Onyx Black]

[Lucretia Black - Ignatius Prewett]

[Orion Black -Wallburga] => [Sirius Black, Regulus Black]

"Read the will"

"I Arcturus Sirius Black, Head of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black with sound Mind and Magic declare my Grandson Shoryaz Phineas Onyx Black to be next Head of the house, all rights to House Black vaults and properties will all belong to only him. If he declines then the lordship would be transferred to his descendants, and if there are no descendants of his then let the house Black dissolve. So I will it, so I swear, so more it be."

'Grandfather as Cut-throat as always, He will let the House Black be history then let it fall to greedy hand of others'

"What's Left of House Black, Grodrock?"

"You've 8 vaults in Gringotts with 296 million galleons, 3 vault filled to brim with jewelry and ornaments and other valuables, 5 vaults with magic tomes and inherited books on magic, 2 vaults with magic weapons." " In properties and real-estate you own 9 mansion, 4 sea side villas, 7 manor, your ancestral Castle, 47 shops in diagon alley, 23 in Hogsmeade and you're owner of 76 hotels and 85 guest houses all over Europe. Here's the complete list"

'All these ancient house sure are 'RichieRich' rich' just with simple glance you could see there's a hell lot of money, money & more money.

"What about other Blacks who else are still alive?"

The goblin passed another parchment containg few names " Two Blacks 'Sirius Orion Black' and 'Bellatrix Lestrange née Black' are in Azkaban, other two was kicked out of Black family one for marrying a Weasley 'Cadrella Weasley' and other for marrying a muggle born 'Andromeda Tonks', lastly Narcissa Malfoy née Black who married in Malfoy family."

'There was no knowledge of Cadrella and Andromeda in Sourabh's memory. Hmmm and there should be one other girl a metamorphmagus, maybe daughter of one of them'

"Here's your Lord ring" provided Goblin with a pure black metal ring with runes and magic array etched in gold giving a sophisticated image.

'Thank god there's no jewel on it' Shoryaz performed several security magic scan on the ring. 'So only Black family could wear this anyone else trying would became piles of bones, quite good security measures etched in, posion scanning, curse scanning, evil magic protection, protection against possession, imperious curse, and other mind arts. Minor boost in magic recovery, spell casting.'

"So Lord Onyx Black, any service you require from gringotts ofcourse at vip charge for our vip customer?" Said the Goblin smiling devilishly knowing full well he's going to get a lot of golden sweetness today.

'Greedy bastards'
