Harry looked at him for a minute and then turned to Griphook. "I have a request of you my friend. Would you go to the Potter family vault and retrieve my mother's engagement ring?"
"Of course Milord."
"Griphook, I called you my friend so that means no more of this Milord crap. To you and Fist over there, I am Harry."
"Of course Mi… Harry. Is there anything else?"
"Yeah, I want all of my family files brought before me as well. We have some other matters to attend to."
Ragnok stood after a glance from Ironfist and said "I will get those personally Milord while Account Manger Griphook is retrieving the ring."
Harry looked at Ragnok for a minute and then said "Director, I'm sure you have someone who can do that for you for now. I think it is time we had a discussion and I even feel that over time we will become friends but right now, I have little faith in you. You have taken steps to improve your position in my eyes but deep down, I feel that you failed me in some way for allowing things to happen as they did."
"I understand Milord and personally hold myself responsible for what has happened. I will do whatever it is you ask to atone for my failures."
"That statement alone has earned you that opportunity. While I have both yours and Ironfist's attention, I need to ask what do you intend to do about Albus Dumbledore?"
Ragnok sat down in the seat that had been vacated by Griphook. He looked Harry straight in the eye and said "Truthfully Milord, I have been hesitant to do anything. It is not because of his power amongst the wizards but because everything pointed to the fact that you were his protégé. For me to act against him might have made the situation between us even worse and I could not risk that. You were sent numerous owls with letters begging you to return here so we could open communication but they always returned unopened."
Harry smiled "Do your owls still have the bracelets around their legs to show you the wards they have encountered?"
His eyes grew wide. "How did you know about that?"
"I have spent the last few years under the tutelage of my grandfather. I'm sure you are well aware of the fact that he created them for your use."
Ragnok jumped from his seat and summoned the last owl to have made an attempt at delivering a letter to Harry. When it arrived, he placed the owl on a piece of parchment and waved his hand. In the next moment, writing started appearing on the parchment and when it finished, Ragnok dismissed the owl. He went back over to the chair and started reading the report.
"It says here that the owl encountered a mail redirect ward several times regarding you and it was cast by A.P.W.B. D. That means that Dumbledore was keeping us from contacting you."
"Albus Dumbledore may have wanted everyone to think I was his protégé but the truth was he was only trying to control me and my family. I know the truth now and he has no right to interfere in my family matters."
Ironfist growled "Then if it would please the Lord Peverell, we would like to bring the full weight of Gringotts and the Goblin nation against him."
Harry nodded. "That is acceptable. I would also like to know your stance on Lord Voldemort."
Ironfist replied. "We have always tried to remain neutral in the affairs of wizards. However, I feel we can no longer continue this as it would put our relationship in jeopardy."
"Do you know who the Death Eaters are?"
Ragnok replied "It is hard not to miss the taint on their souls when they enter the bank Milord but we need ministry approval to strip them of their assets."
"What if the bank closed for a short period in order to allow Gringotts a complete audit?"
"Milord, the cost in revenue would be disastrous."
Harry nodded. He knew he could make the demand and they would comply but to do so would cause more problems for the unsteady truce they were building. It was then that Griphook reappeared followed by several Goblins bearing large files.
As they were laid out on the large marble table that adorned the room, Harry stood and walked over to them. He appeared to be leafing through them before he turned to Ironfist. He placed his hand on the Potter file and said "I, Lord Harrison James Peverell, herby absorb the House of Potter into my own and make the line extinct. So Mote it Be."
There was a flash of magic as the Potter file disappeared and the Peverell file grew larger. He then repeated the process for Gryffindor, Slytherin, and the minor house of Evans. He felt a deep rumbling and shaking in the tunnels and raised his eyebrow to Ironfist.
Ironfist chuckled and said "Its okay Harry, it's just the magic of the vaults realigning themselves and joining with the Peverell vault. Once you go inside, there will be doorways leading into the different family vaults of which none can now enter without Peverell blood flowing through them or your personal permission."
Harry nodded and then picked up the last file. As he flipped through it, he turned to glance at Ironfist who only returned a grin. Ironfist finally said "Harry, your godfather left you a letter that I think it would be in your best interest to read before doing anything else."
Harry sat back down in the chair before opening the envelope that had been handed to him.
My Dearest Harry,
I am so sorry that words cannot even begin to describe my shame at my actions. I have repeatedly failed you at every turn and can offer nothing but meaningless words to try and convey my stupidity and shame. You have repeatedly risked everything for me and in my selfishness, I gave nothing in return.
I am writing this letter in the hope that you once again defy the impossible and return from the other side of the Veil. No matter what you may think, I love you and truly want your happiness. I know I have a bad way of showing it after listening to the old goat but if I have one desire in life, it is to reconcile with you. Contrary to what may be reported, my trip through the Veil was necessary and I will explain it in more detail later.
As you know, my Aunt Dorea was your grandmother and I used this to support the claim that you become Lord Black. I know that I have forever dishonored the name and title and would like nothing better than to see you absorb it into your house and use the assets I'm leaving you to do something good with what remains of a once noble and proud house.
