Mortem

It was to say that Harry Potter was extremely happy to be a free man.

There were multiple things he had to do before taking advantage of his liberty. Killing a genocidal dark lord was the first thing on his list.

It was well known that high security prisoners in azkaban were rarely disturbed because of their suspected dangerous abilities that had put them in prison in the first place.

With the lack of visitation, Harry had been able to think immensely during his little vacation on Azkaban island. Despite visits not being allowed, Luna Lovegood had been able to sneak in and give him some important information about many things, including his dark lord problem.

Harry had no idea how the young blond had been able to visit him or find the information that she had, but he was grateful, nonetheless. He had definitely learnt to never underestimate Luna's intelligence. She may seem dreamy and strange. However, she had been placed in ravenclaw for a reason.

Years of observing everything around her and people not holding back to speak about sensitive things in front her had paid off. He remembered when she had visited him for the first time. She recounted a very interesting conversation she had heard between Dumbledore and Professor Snape, a conversation about Voldemort's horcruxes, all seven of them. This was how Harry had learnt about the Dark Lord's dirty little secret.

Tom Riddle's diary had already been destroyed. Luna had accidentally found Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem in the room of requirement and had managed to get her hands on a basilisk fang to destroy the dark artifact.

While the order had not done much about Voldemort, they had found three horcruxes. Slytherin's locket had been found in Regulus's bedroom and destroyed with Gryffindor's sword. The Gaunt ring had received the same fate, directly from Dumbledore's hand. Hufflepuff's cup had been found in Bellatrix's vault by Sirius and destroyed once again with the sword of gryffindor. The only horcruxes left were himself and Nagini if Luna was correct.

Harry had faith in her. The moment he had learnt about the horcruxes, Harry had tried to find solutions to get rid of the one in him. Luckily, according to Luna, Goblins were masters at cleansing one from dark magic and possession, for a fee of course. Harry's first stop before killing Voldemort was Gringotts.

Harry was able to go unnoticed in Diagon Alley with the help of muggle disguises. He hurried to make his way into Gringotts before he could get recognized. As he stepped foot into the bank, he could feel the eyes of every goblin on him. He did not let that affect him, and he continued to walk towards the main teller. He arrived in front of said station and flashed his scar. The goblin's eyes widened almost imperceptibly, but Harry saw the reaction. The goblin immediately told him to follow him towards the deeper end of the bank. Once in a private office, Harry spoke.

"I will be needing to visit my main vault."

"Of course, Mr. Potter, was there anything else you would need?" The goblin's smile was frightening, he had to admit, but Harry had faced worse.

"I will be needing a cleansing ritual."

"For what, Mr. Potter. We need to be able to know what we are cleansing you of. There will be a fee of course. I'm sure you understand." The smile full of sharp teeth returned.

"Of course. I have been made aware that there is a Horcruxe in my head. The ritual is to get rid of that, immediately if possible. The fee needed can come from my main vault." Harry said in response to the Goblin.

The moment Harry mentioned the word horcruxe, the goblin nodded and left rapidly. As Harry waited, the goblin returned with one of his colleagues. They seemed to have a rapid conversation before the goblin he had first talked to turned towards him.
