18 Chapter 17
"Welcome to Gringotts." The old wizard said.
I looked around and saw a few humans who I assume are wizards with their wands on their holster and wearing robes.
'Robes? Seriously? What are we in the Dark ages or something!?' I thought with a sweat drop.
I looked at the other 'creatures' and saw a few of them looking at me with caution?
"What are they?" I asked Dumbledore.
"Goblins, they run Gringotts and keep the vaults safe from those who wishes to steal from it." He said.
"A friendly reminder Mr. Smith, never mess with goblins." Dumbledore warned.
We walked towards the register and Dumbledore started to talk with the goblin at the desk. I zoned them out and mentally commanded a few of my shadows to mess with the wizards visiting cause I'm bored.
A few wizards lost their wands and started to make a fuss which caused the goblins to detain them with ease due to the lost of their wands and some was even kicked out.
'Wizards have weak physiques, good to know' I noted.
Other wizards were tripped and some lost their accessories. The panic on the wizards faces caused me and some other goblins to chuckle.
*Ehem*
I looked towards the goblin at the desk and Dumbledore and saw the latter gesturing me to follow them.
We walked for a few minutes in awkward silence until we reached a vault which I assumed belongs to me or atleast someone related to me.
"This vault belongs to Salazar Slytherin which contains about 86,048 galleons which now belongs to you Lord Slytherin." The goblin said turning to look at us.
'Lord Slytherin?' I thought as I looked towards Dumbledore who gave me a 'I know soemthing but I wont tell you smile'. Which of course irritated me.
"Key please." The goblin said to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore took a key from his pocket and gave it to the goblin which the goblin then used to open the vault.
The vault opened to reveal what's inside and that is mountains of gold.
I whistled seeing the huge amount of money that now belongs to me.
I withdraw 5000 galleons just to be on the safe side and as the vault closed the goblin gave me the key.
Dumbledore and I left Gringotts and headed to other shops and we bought school materials and as we make our way through Diagon alley I noticed a lot of people keep looking at Dumbledore in awe and respect and some in hate.
'Well someone's popular' I thought amused. While Dumbledore may hide it well I know his a bit annoyed at the attention his getting. Speaking of attention, I gained a few curious looks due to me being next to Dumbledore but I just ignored them.
Our final destination was a shop named Ollivanders where I got my wand which is 11 inches long made of Holly and with a Thestral hair core. ( I dont know anything about wands)
After we left Ollivanders Dumbledore borrowed my wand which I was reluctant to do until he explained that he was going to remove the trace spell within my wand so that I could use magic while underage and outside of school.
I thanked him as I say goodbye to Dumbledore as I was envelope by shadows which I assumed belonged to my father and next thing I know I was in my room with all my things I got from Diagon alley.
Dumbledore said school was gonna start in a few weeks which gives me the time to practice my magic while my shadows study my school books and with my connection to them transfers their knowledge learned to me, this is one of my shadow powers I loved the most, information transfer.
'This is going to be an interesting year' I thought as I went out of my room and went towards the living room where I sensed the others were.
I was looking for Percy so I can have him as my test dummy for my magic with the excuse of sparring.
Down at the living room Percy started to have a bad premonition.
