002: Inheritance pt.1 (Harry) (Edited)

"What the fuck?!" Harry exclaimed in shock at the new person he was seeing in front of him. He was too busy looking at himself that he hadn't seen Hedwig by the window sill until she let out a hoot.

Harry was happy to see another letter with Hedwig. He had thought that Ron finally decided to owl him back, but he was quickly disappointed when he saw that the letter was from...Gringotts?

'Dear Mr. Potter,

Your presence is requested at Gringotts bank immediately.

It has come to our attention that you have recently come into your inheritance. We can discuss several discrepancies in your vaults. Gringotts bank sincerely thanks you for your patronage.

Yours truly, Ragnok.'

Harry had finally started to understand what was going on. He had come into his inheritance. He had only heard a bit about it from Hermione when she wasn't ignoring him. He quickly bathed, brushed his teeth and combed his hair before putting a some muggle band T-shirt Sirius had gotten for him on his birthday last year along with pants.

Soon he was out the door at 10.37am. He knew that they needed his presence immediately but he started to think whether they meant when he was most convenient or...

At Gringotts, 10:56am

Harry made his way into the bank and to the front desk. He passed and greeted some goblins before talking to a (What he assumed) lady goblin.

"How may I help you?" The lady asked without looking up from the files she was organizing. "I'd like to speak to Ragnok regarding my Inheritance test."

When she didn't look up for a while he said, "I think I was scheduled, I'm Harry Potter."

The lady looked up with haste and said, "Right this way please." She went toward a room at the far end of the area and left the door open for him to enter.

"Harry Potter sir." She said before leaving Harry with another goblin behind a fairly tall desk.

The goblin looked up, "Thank you Reyneta. That would be all." He added after he saw that she made no move to leave.

"Good morning Ragnok, long time?" Harry said unsure. The only time he had seen him was after a few instances were he had to get money to buy a few supplies, and even then he wasn't the one to go inside to finalize everything.

"Ah, Mr. Potter, welcome. Please have a seat." Ragnok's usual grumpy frown was switched for an uneasy scowl, nothing too out of the ordinary as he gestured for Harry to take a seat.

Harry did just that.

"It has come to our attention a grand theft that has happened right beneath our noses, alongside forgery of documents." As Ragnok said this Harry couldn't help but wonder why they would need him for this and not an of age adult.

"But first I will need you to place a few drops of blood on this parchment." Ragnok said before handing Harry a thin piece of empty parchment that seemed to have a sort of cryptic rune at the far top left corner.

If he remembered correctly it was a rune of revelation, Rūnō to be exact.

"Okay, sure." Harry said, not at all disturbed by this occurance. Or so he wanted to believe. In fact he was nervous he was sure when he picked up the needle beside the parchment, he was trembling.

He pricked his finger with the needle and placed it beside the parchment again before he let his blood trickle down and drop unto the paper.

The blood seethed into the paper and let out a sizzle. Soon words started to appear on the once empty paper. Harry picked up the piece of paper and started to read.
