Arcturus black was sitting in the conference room going over the last couple of hours in his head. A marriage contract had been activated for Bella by none other than lord slytherin. Then another contract stating a no contact fee with someone who he had barely heard rumors about, trying to steal from lord slytherin. That was going to stir up quite a lot of people.
There was a knock on the door as a goblin entered "presenting king ragnok the fifth current ruler of the goblin nation." Arcturus eyes widened he didn't think he would be meeting with the king of the goblin nation aswell this must be a super legit thing as no one meets with the goblin king.
But the next thing made his brain and body freeze on the spot.
"Presenting Lord Wyllt-peverell-gryffindor-..... a whole slew of titles."
But it was that first one that made him freeze. Wyllt? Wasn't that? "Oh my god." He says in a shocked voice.
"Well I prefer Ryan but if you insist lord black?" I walk in with a chuckle even ragnok laughs.
His eyes zoom in on the Merlin ring on my finger signifying lord of house Wyylt Heir to Merlin.
He promptly passes out.
It takes a bit but after a few goblin doctors check him over he is properly revived and given some potions.
"Well I didn't hope to actually scare you to death lord black." I say looking at the pale black haired man.
"No it's my fault I wasn't expecting something of this caliber to happen today." He says drinking some pepper up potion.
Ragnok chuckles "You and me both lord black."
"So your also lord slytherin?" Arcturus asks me.
"Yes and all the other founders title." I say drinking some juice.
"How old are you?" He asks me.
"8 this year." I reply.
"And you've already accepted your lordships. Which means you've got a huge amount of votes in the wizengamot. All that power in the hands of a child." He says looking at me.
I just shrug. "So what did you come to discuss lord black." I ask the man.
"Mostly I was curious about the man who would be marrying one of my grandchildren." He says. "Now that I've met you I can be assured my granddaughter won't be marrying some lecherous old man."
"That may be true but from what I've heard don't you have a daughter named walburga who is quite a nasty piece of work?" I ask him.
"Walburga?" He says in confusion.
"Yep I've heard from reliable sources about her trying to get in with a crowd of death eaters and constantly trying to convert her children to the more darker side of things." I tell the man.
"I don't know where you got this information but I'll be sure to check into it." He says in a serious voice.
"I would because you did sign the contract and if she's having thoughts about joining some rising dark lord I'll cut off ties right now." He had forgotten about the contract for a minute.
"I'll call a family meeting as soon as I leave here." He assures me.
"Well thats good I may not be very well trained in magic but I do have quite a lot of money and I'm sure lord ragnok can find me someone to make her disappear." I say tapping the table.
"As a friend of the goblin folk I can assure you lord black that this can be arranged as he is now probably the richest person in the world." Ragnok says firmly with a toothy smile.
"I also believe Bellatrix should go and stay with her grandparents for a while just to make sure there's no problems." I tell the head of the black family.
"Of course this can be arranged." He assures me.
I remember the mad black family woman from the stories and had no doubt she was insane.
"Well that's good when I get my estate in order I shall be sure to invite you and bellatrix to visit." I tell the older man.
"That would be great. Now I must be off to go investigate a few things." He says before standing up and shaking my hand and nodding towards ragnok.
"Good day then lord black." I tell the man sitting back down.
After he leaves I turn back to ragnok. "I should probably sign up for hogwarts in a few years. But before I worry about any of those things I should probably visit the vaults and get a place to live."
"Yes you'll need your family grimoire and some other items." He says getting up from his seat.
"Grimoire?" I ask in confusion.
"All families have special Magic's like hidden special spells and rituals they keep in the family grimoire. Grimoires can only be opened by the head of the family and those he allows to read it. Anyone else trying to steal secrets from a grimoire are usually killed by the grimoires defensive magic and spells family heads put on them." He explains.
"Nice that sounds like it would be quite useful to have." I say following the goblin king we take some back hallways and finally come upon something I was dreading. The carts to the vaults. I have a severe fear of heights this also go for high speed roller coasters over chasms of nothingness.
I quickly clamp my occulmency shield down to drive away the onset of panic and hop into the cart. There's a screech of metal as ragnok pulls a lever and the cart speeds off at insane speeds.
We head deeper and deeper into the massive cavern taking twists and turns down to the depths of the bank. We finally come to a stop in front of a massive bank vault.
"This is lord merlins personal vault and a place where he stored most of his items before he disappeared." Ragnok says getting out of the cart with me shakily following after him.
