The Dark Lady {Tom Riddle Story}

3. Shock

Now lets take a look at the Potters.

James, Lily and their so called powerful boy-who-lived son Harry Potter, walked straight into the halls of Gringotts and completely ignored the Goblin guards who were stationed by the outside doors. They were there to withdraw money for buying Harry's hogwarts supplies and get statements for their vaults.

The family of three, walked to a goblin teller with smug cockiness, that made them look entitled. It was not a good look. Once gathered in front of the teller, James stepped forward. "Hello, we would like to meet the Potter Accounts Manager."

The goblin sneered at them, it was well known throughout the Goblin nation about what actually happened that night, due to Azalea Black-Peverell being a Goblin friend. "Griphook will take you there."

James was a little shocked due to the short and curt reply by the Goblin, but didn't comment as they followed Griphook into the Potter Accounts Manager. "Hello Sharpclaw, how have you been?" James said, without any courtesy as soon as the door of the office was shut behind them.

Anyone that actually knew about the Goblin culture, would have known that the said Goblin was pissed off because of their behavior, but he hid it, as 'she' had a plan for the three in front of him. "I have been good Lord Potter. What can I do for you today?"

James had a proud look on his face, and in his eyes, were undiluted joy. "Yes, we would like our bank statements and also withdraw money for my son's Hogwarts supplies. " James threw his arm around Harry who also had a smug look on his face.

Sharpclaw, without any word or gesture, handed the Potter's banking statements to James while trying to conceal his blood thirsty smile.

While reading, James and Lily frowned. Their oldest child, their daughter, who had a trust fund set up on the day of her birth, hadn't touched a single Knut in the vault, and there was no transactions what so ever. Lily and James shared a look before Lily turned to look at Sharpclaw. "Did our eldest, our daughter, not take any money from her vault?" Lily was confused and it clearly showed.

The Goblin was quick to conceal his satisfied facial expression and said, "No Lady Potter, your daughter hasn't touched her vault that was set up for her. It seems her transactions are purely done from her personal other vaults."

The two couples were downright confused. Why would their daughter not spend their money and how does she have other vaults? Sure they hadn't been in contact for the ladt 10 years but Harry needed special training, surely they must have known that.

Lily dared to ask the question which was at their mind. "How much money does she have?"

The Goblin knew that question was coming and rejoiced at his reply. "I am afraid, I don't actually know that. You see her accounts are dealt and managed by King Rangnok himself. However, I can tell you that it is more that 10 million Galleons."

All the three Potters were shocked still. How can their daughter, who was only 15, have so much money in her account. Not only that, but how and why would King Rangnok himself dealt with her accounts?

James was the first to recover his shock. "We would like to speak with King Rangnok please."

Sharpclaw nodded before barking out an order to one of the Goblins in Gobbledegook before standing from his desk. "If you would like to follow me"

Sharpclaw led them down to the series of hallways before stopping infront of two large golden doors, that had intricate detailing embossed on it. Sharpclaw knocked three times before the doors swung open and he walked up to the front bowing his head. "The Potters wish to speak to you, my King."
