9. A mother's love

"Tell me everything about what happened in detail" Lily said with a solemn expression.

"No need mom. You have already done so much for me, you sacrificed everything for me, I consider myself very lucky to have you as my mother. You don't need to worry about these things anymore. Your son may not be old enough but when it comes to capabilities, I can tame this whole world." I said these words with such conviction that she was speechless with awe. I was not merely boasting. I am neither underestimating this world nor being reckless.

"Yes.. yes, you have grown up son." after controlling her emotions?, she continued"Harry, there is something you need to know but for that I want your mind to be protected. It is something that can rattle bigger forces than just Voldemort."

"Mother my training in mind arts is coming along nicely. Just wait for the Christmas Holidays, by then my occlumency will be equal to the level of Dumbledore."

Yes, I have calculated it. Let us assume Dumbledore is very talented in mind arts. He was born in 1881, so even if he started practicing occlumency from an early age, he would have started it at the age of 10. So he has 100 years of practice. As he does not have any cheats, he must have spent most of his time reading and practicing magic. So he could have spent 2 hours daily at most. That calculates to about 8 years of continuous practice.

Now let us assume my talent in mind art is very bad( which I am sure is not), I will at most take 15-16 years of continuous training. That would mean 2 hours daily practice for 132 days with my systems help. And this is the most I would take, as there are other factors in play. So year till my Christmas holidays, I will be better than Dumbledore in occlumency.

A/N: All these calculations are shown only for the first and last time. It is to show that I am not writing no. willy nilly. Sorry if it annoyed you.

"Harry, he has more than 100 year's of practice, Don't underestimate it." Lily warned me seriously.

"Mom, please trust me. I am much more talented than Dumbledore (who knows) and I'm taking things in a way that mad-eye moody would want to worship me."

"Okay, I believe you. "

" Mom, Let's talk after I go home. I have some more business to attend to." Bidding her farewell, I came out of the vault with with her trunk.

"Lord Potter, our Branch manager is waiting for you in my office."

"Hmm. Let's go meet him."

We went back using the cart and to his office. Just as I went inside, I saw a goblin much bigger than any other I have seen so far. Seeing me entering he immediately stood up. "Lord Potter, it's an honor. It seems we have some misunderstanding among us. Don't worry, I'll immediately behead Bogrod for violating the laws and assign another competent manager for your account."

"What is your name? " I asked, ignoring his words completely.

"I am Rognuk."

"Rognuk, let me assure you that there is no misunderstanding here. You have used your position as a branch manager and harmed your clients interest for your personal gain. I'm calling the goblin council so that they themselves can judge your actions."

"Lord Potter, please let us sit and talk among ourselves. I'm ready to pay you the compensation. Moreover I promise to not tell anyone about your visit here." I could hear the veiled threat.

"Hah, Go ahead and tell the world about my visit here. Listen you bloody idiot, I'm hiding my activities not because I'm afraid. No, I am hiding out of inconvenience. So don't even think about threatening me. Moreover, If you think you can detain me here then it is your naivety, I can come and go here whenever I want to."

I signalled for Alfred to hide me in space and then bring me out. But it appeared to them as if I just went and then came back to Gringotts. Both of them had a shocked expression on their faces.

"Lord potter, please forgive me. It was not my intention to threaten you. I'm genuinely ready to pay the compensation. " Rognuk bowed apologizing.
