They say you must always negotiate from a position of power. So when Harriet walked into the goblin bank with Dumbledoor and Marvolo, she had the power.

"Greetings master goblin we are here for a blood test for Ms. Potter." Said Dumbledore with a gentle smile on his face,

"May your gold flow and enemies cower at your feet," Marvolo said to the goblin.

Harriet had an unreadable look on her face and bowed her head to the goblin in question,

"The emerald cape I see, what a surprise." (Sneered) said the goblin,

"I see you have heard of my work?"

"No banker magical or not doesn't know your name."

"I'm flattered." The two men behind shared a look of confusion, of course knowing nothing of the muggle world.

The quartet walked to the back of the bank to the door of an office that read, "Master banker: Ragnrok" When they went inside they were met with a standard office. They all sat down and prepared for the test to be done.

"Cut your hand here." Said Ragnrok while gesturing to parchment on the desk. Harriet picked up the knife on the table and cut across her palm. The wound healed itself as the blood moved across the page and spelled out her inheritance:

Harriet Lily Potter: Born July 31st, 1980

Ragnork handed the paper to them and started the paperwork for an inheritance to be taken up. As he worked Marvolo and Dumbledoor stared wide-eyed at the paper.

"What does that mean?" asked Harriet.

"It means that you have a lot of work to do." Said Marvolo

"Hahahhahhahhah... No, I said I'll do the bare minimum which means hiring someone to deal with this for me." At that moment Ragnork walked in papers in hand.

"I couldn't help but overhear, we at Gringotts can manage your accounts. We would also send and sort mail and paperwork."

"Perfect, that settles it. Let's go over anything else and set that up"

A few hours later and Harriet was set. They spent hours sifting through properties, investments, and proposed laws. Harriet was exhausted from the two men in front of her bickering.

"God, why are you two acting like schoolchildren?" The two stopped quarreling and looked at her, Dumbledoor looked slightly embarrassed, Marvolo looked pissed to high heaven.

"That is none of your business." Huffed Marvolo,

"Oh Tom be nice, she doesn't mean any harm."

"My name is Marvolo!"

"Of course..."

Harriet just looked at the two and sighed her paperwork was done now, they were waiting for the head of house rings. Ragnork walked in with a box containing the rings,

"These will provide security and family magic. They are only able to be removed when the head of house surrenders them to their heir or dies. Do you accept that when you take up your house you are required to attend the solstices and equinoxs meeting at wizengatom?"

" I accept these terms."

"Good please place the rings on your finger of your choosing, if you wish you may put them on one finger and they shall merge."

Harriet nodded and placed all of them on her right pointer finger. When she placed them on a rush of wind was felt and the faint roar of a lion, crow of a raven, the glow of the deathly hollows symbol was seen above Harriet, and finally, the smell of flowers filled the office. The others stood shocked at the powerful response of the family magics praising their new head. Harriet could feel the hum of power in her soul. Magic was practically radiating off her. The men behind her were stunned by her power, one particularly was captivated by her presence.
