the start of the end

The moment he felt the so much described hook in his stomach pull outward, he knows that the depart was imminent but hadn't the time to steady himself.

'Hurrgggg, she could have warned me damnit!'

Is only salvation was that he didn't eat yet, only retching for a minute or so before the effect of side apparition vanishes slowly.

"Sorry, I don't have the habitude to side along, I tend to forget the side-effect.

-Something clearly fishy there, if she has taken over the duty to take the muggle-born, she should know, not all of the family have the time to travel to Diagon Alley by mundane means.-

'You think they're aiming for something else?'

-The Heirship, I think they want it to be official, only by making you sign a formal document clearly stating that you renounce your Heirship willingly would they be able to make an official claim.-

'The bank or ministry?'

-The bank definitively, the goblins are the only to handle the inheritance, the ministry has renounced their right to do so the moment they handle all right over the wizarding economy to them.-

'Morons the lots of them.'

-True, but without them, it would have been a completely other matter for you to even be able to claim a single Knuts, let alone drain the Potter account dry.-

Since he was bend is hand on his knee while speaking to CS, Lily patiently wait, thinking that he was only regaining his bearing. Once good, he raises his head, looking at her.

"Right, let go, we need to complete a little errand before we could start. As I had said your parent was wizard, they left a vault in the bank for you, we just need you to sign a simple form before being able to go to it, alright?"

He nods at confusedly while internally cursing at her. 'That bitch she couldn't even wait a complete hour after our reunion for acting against me.'

-I don't think that the case, you need to remember that for the rest of the world you are an eleven years old boy who has been raised in the mundane world, I think she banks on the fact that you should have interacted with the banking system and use it as an excuse for you to claim your vault while in fact stripping you of your Heirship. At least it seems that you will be able to take back you key.-

While the two where conversing, he follows behind her as she made her way toward the bank while giving him an overview of the Alley.

They soon made their way in the bank, turning at the first teller she sees. He couldn't help but shake his head when he actually sees the board above the booth, indicating that they were in the wrong file.

-I was expecting more for the so-called brightest witch of her generation.-

'Either she becomes dumber for each year past within them or the fame of the brat have turned her head, or the two. Anyway, that doesn't spell a good future for the wizarding England, Tommy boy will have his path already made the second he came back.

Once it was their turn Lily take a step forward before announcing her business with the bank.

"Headcrusher is expecting us."

If she sees it, she didn't show any reaction to the scowl marring the goblin face when yet another imbecile demonstrates that they couldn't read and disrupt his work. Still, after a few barks on the side, another goblin came hastily to lead them. Before following them and once she had her back at him, he flicks a golden coin at the goblin who catches it surprise while he mouth a 'sorry', receiving a sharp nod from him with an eased features from him.

Like it first time in the bank, they were lead in the lookalike corridors before stopping in front of doors after what seems two times his previous trip. His confused face must have told the leading goblin what he was thinking when he so him smirking in return.

'Those little... 'Sigh', When will those morons learn?'

-Probably never.-

Knocking at the door before withdrawing himself, the goblin let them wait outside the office. Taking advantage of the few seconds they have, she turns to him with a serious expression on her face.

"Goblins a prideful creature, so be sure to be on your best behavior and let me speak, ok?"

Nodding as he didn't want to speak to her he just to that and wait, leaving her with a proud face at her grasp on the situation, missing completely the tired sight of her son.

A minute after their arrival, the accountant manager Headcrusher made them enter while still behind his desk.

"Ha, here you are Lady..."

Before he could even finish he was interrupted by the witch who looks anxiously with the corner of her eyes to the child on her side, clearly not wanting to be identified in front of him.

"Yes, sorry but we are pressed by time, could we process please, we still have gathered is school supplies."

Shaking his head in displeasure at the breach of etiquette and blatant act of subversion, he, however, processes when he catches the nearly imperceptible nod of Harry, receiving his approval to enact the contract they have to establish for him a month before. This simple nod brought immense joy to the goblin who pass beside her previous action. As for Lily, all she sees was that the goblin accepts to not identify her in front of her son, drawing relief from the fact that they have yet to be exposed.

"Very well." Taking out the contract that House Potter has filled to effectively strip Harry of his Heirship with his own acknowledgment, before presenting it to a confused Lily, who doesn't seem to be aware of an addition of a page on it since last time.

"If you would verify that everything is in order before we process."

"Had something change since last time?"

"Everything his as wished by the concerned parties."

"Then that fine, please show him where he needs to sign so that we can go to his vault and be on our way."

Nodding, the goblin was as impassive as the young boy he was facing while both of them were jubilating again at the stupidity of the wizardkind. Without further add, he directly goes to the last page, showing the blank space at the end of the document. Taking the few seconds he knows that Headsmasher purposefully gives him while retrieving the quill, he rapidly goes through it, seeing that this add cancel the previous clause and give him full reparation plus a bonus for the attempt but were he still give up willingly pass over his Heirship for an additional 25% of the left monetary holding of House Potter. Harry couldn't believe that the have effectively pulled the wool over the Potter without them even taking a second look at the document.

Being an official document of Gringott, he received the blood quill and sign as Harry Potter, making the first step to one for all cutting his bound with the family. With a golden glow, the document split in three, two of them retrieved by the goblin before tending the last to the mother who shook her head and asks him to sort it in the vault for safekeeping.

Once this is finally done, Lily was practically skipping out of the way of the office under the disgusted look of the goblin.

"I see you in seven-day clan head Evans."

"Yes, please enact the document once we take the first step out of Gringotts."

"I will see to it."

Speeding his step to regroup with the woman before she realizes that he wasn't following her, he exits the room with hast.

After as rather brutal travel in the bowel of the bank, Lily retrieves the golden key of her pouch and past it to the goblin that processes the opening of the vault. He didn't have the time to take a good look as she rapidly takes an already present pouch before exiting and giving it to him.

"Drop a drop of blood on the cord and it will secure it to you only." Said her before dropping the key in the still unbound pouch.

They made their way to the surface before crossing the hall, climbing down the stair and step out of Gringotts territory. The moment the two of them do so, a little less than two-thirds of the total amount of gold inside the Potter vault vanishes, alongside the gold in the vault n.687 and the golden key inside the pouch shone for a second before returning to its original state, a simple golden shape key.
