Coming to a pause at the door the goblin spoke up, "I am here to see King Ragnok about a very important matter."
"One second," the guard on the left stated as his companion took out a small orb and whispered into it. Once the creature was done talking, he nodded his head to his companion which he nodded back and said, "You may go in, King Ragnok awaits you."
Suddenly as if by magic, of course, the large doors slowly swung open on their own volition and a large chamber hall greeted them inside.
Walking in ahead of them, the short goblin ambled into the chamber hall and both wizards followed in step. Coming up to a large throne seating a stout goblin a bit taller than his other kins, the grumpy goblin took to a knee and stayed there.
Looking to Sirius for direction when they stood before a Monarch, Harry saw that the older wizard didn't bow or anything but gave a simple nod-- if anything really Sirius stood more taller and proud.
Following his example, Harry fixed the slight creases on his clothes the best he could, and stood as straight as he could. If he had known before that he would be meeting royalty, he really would have dressed his best than this regular clothes.
"You may arise," the Monarch finally spoke as the goblin got up from the floor and bowed his head.
"What is this important matter you have for me, Gorkit?"
"Your Majesty...." the goblin began as he retold everything that happened to the best of his knowledge.
"Mhm. What you told me is very worrying Gorkit, only a Sorcerer- a legendary Wizard- could do that by getting past our wards, having the spell remain active for years, and nobody being any the wiser at all."
"Your grace," Sirius uttered as he stepped forward, "I might know who it was."
"Who?" the goblin king asked as he turned to face the wizard.
"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore!".
Rubbing his chin as he thought it over the goblin finally answered, "That would make sense, he is the only accursed Sorcerer thousands of kilometers around except for that Dark Lord. Now the question is do you have any proof?"
"No," Sirius replied, "But as you can see your grace, there has been a breach in the Potter's accounts and a transaction they never made has been done on their behalf."
Nodding his head, the goblin king turned his gaze towards the Black family's account manager and addressed him, "Gorkit see to it that the Potter family are paid back in full and with interest. Also, increase their security measures to Marquisdom."
Then turning back to face Sirius, the large goblin stated, "Although there is nothing much we can do about Albus Dumbledore, we shall still freeze his accounts for investigation matters," the Monarch uttered with a savage grin, "And for the gold, we shall personally collect on it."
"Thank you, your grace," Sirius said with a nod. "Now, I would like it if the Potter Will were to be unsealed!"
"Are you authorized to?" the goblin asked with a narrowing of his eyes.
"I am his godfather, you tell me, am I?"
"Fine, wizard, Gorkit go see if Barnott is mended and if he is, bring him to my office immediately."
Bobbing his head, the goblin account manager hurried then the goblin turned back to Sirius. "Let's head to my office, wizard, we can have refreshments there while we wait for Barnott."
------------------------------------------------------
Sitting back and enjoying some tea with biscuits, the door to the goblin king's office swung open, and both the Black and Potter family's account manager strolled in.
"My King." both goblins called out as they took to a knee then hurriedly got up when the Monarch nodded his head.
"Did you bring the Potter Will?" the bulky goblin asked.
"Yes," Barnott replied as he presented a golden plaque.
"Play it." the goblin king stated with a wave of his hand.
"Of Course your majesty." the goblin replied as he made some weird hand gestures and two voices that he knew instinctively where his mother and father.
"I, Lord James Charlus Potter, Head of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Potter and I, Lily J Potter(née Evans), do of sound Mind and sound Body, declare this to be our Final Will and Testimony, voiding all previous filed Will and Testimony. This Will and Testimony is dated on 31 July, 1980."
"To Sirius Black, we leave you with 100,000 Galleons, thanking you for all the joy and laughter you have brought in our lives! Don't you dare spend all our money partying and chasing women," Harry's mother added in the end and he heard his father chuckling in the background. That got a laugh out of Sirius as he smiled sadly.
"To Remus Lupin, we leave you with 100,000 Galleons, thanking you for all the wisdom and cautiousness you have brought in our lives! Fuck the system, you can life comfortably for your whole life even if you are a werewolf," this time it was Harry's father who made the remark and felt more than heard an elbow hit him in the ribcage to silence him.
"To Peter Pettigrew, we leave you nothing if we are dead, let it be known that he must have betrayed us if we have been found. Peter Pettigrew was our secret keeper," Harry's mother tried to say until his father cut in, "I will be coming for you, you rat-tailed bastard even from beyond the grave!" However, he was quickly cut off as somebody seemed to have elbowed him and his mother continued, "Let the Auror force know that Peter Pettigrew is a Death Eater."
"To...." Harry's mother and father continued as they kept on listing more and more people that they wanted to bequest a fortune to. Each and every single one of them were good friends of his parents who've done them great favors and helped along.
"In the event of our death," Harry's parents continued, "We wish to leave our son in the care of one named Sirius Black. He is Harry's Godfather and although reckless at times, he has a good heart and will do his best to take of our son."
"If anything were to happen to Sirius Black, we wish to leave our son in the care of the one named Remus Lupin. There is a separate account we opened which should deposit 5,000 Galleons a month to Remus Lupin for Harry's care."
"If anything were to happen to Remus Lupin or if he was refused guardianship of our son within the grounds he is a werewolf, we wish to leave our son in the care of one named Alice Longbottom. She is our son's Godmother and she will raise Harry just like her own son."
"If anything were to happen to Alice Longbottom, we wish to leave our son in the care of one named Amelia Bones. She is a close friend of ours and is the fiancé of a certain someone."
"If.... we wish for Minerva McGonagall...."
"If.... we wish for Amos Diggory...."
"If.... we wish for Molly Weasley..."
"If.... we wish for Pandora Lovegood...."
"If.... we wish for Rubeus Hagrid...."
"If.... we wish for Garrick Ollivander...."
As the list of people who Harry's parents wanted to live with went on and on, it finally reached the end.
"In the event of our death, we do not wish to leave our son in the care of any known Death Eater or the associates. Neither do we want to leave our son in the care of one named Albus Dumbledore as we know that he wouldn't give the proper care that our son requires. Nor do we wish our son to be ever left in the care of one named Petunia Dursley(née Evans) or her husband as they have a complete and utter hate for magic and anything to do with it."
"So mote it be!"
As the recording died down, silence greeted the office until the goblin king spoke up, "Was this Will carried out to the best of our abilities Barnott?"
Hanging his head low, the goblin answered, "No Your Majesty, it seems like I have been Confunded in this matter too."
