after the year he just had harry flat out refused to return to the dursley's, but he didn't he had learned by this point adults were worthlessness and not to be trusted under any circumstances, but the goblins on the other hand maybe
His idea of escaping was the most unique and inspired yet, based on a world war two documentary, his uncle had watched
He entered gringotts walked to the nearest counter
"I would like to speak with someone about hiring your services" I said to the goblin who didn't even look up as he spoke
"Name" the goblin asked
"Harry james potter" I responded
"And does Mr harry james potter have an appointment" he asked
"No, I need it done discretely and as soon as possible however" I said
"That will cost you a lot Mr potter" he responded
"I am aware, if necessary i am willing to draw out a lone" I said, that caused the goblin to actually pause from his paperwork and look up
"Mr potter, I am going to go out on a limb, as you humans say, and assume you do not know if your recent emancipation, or the potter family vault which you can now access to" the goblin said
"Emancipation? Family vault?" I asked utterly bewildered
"One moment, Mr potter I shall have your account manager prepared for your arrival" the goblin said with an almost sad tone, as if he pitied the boy
Ten minutes later, he was gestured into a well kept office
"Mr potter, I expected you here at eleven, bit it seems more has been kept from you then originally thought tell me how much do you know about yourself, in a financial manner" the goblin asked
"Next to nothing, I font even really know the actual amount that's in my trust vault" I said
"Five thousand galleons, is in your trust vault, you get five thousand a year, but no more, i am bloodfang and we have much to discuss but first i am told you had business with us" the goblin said
"I actually have questions first to make sure you can help me" I said he nodded for me to go ahead
"Do you do other things besides banking" I asked
"We are warders, enchanters, and curse breakers" he said, I smiled widely
"How much do you know about the muggle world" I asked
"More then our wizardibg clients we are kept up to date on all muggle dealings and capability especially their weapons of war, after all, our race first and foremost is one of warriors" bloodfang said
"Do yiu know about the enchanted ford Anglia, arthur weasley built" I asked, bloodfang nodded he had heard all about that debacle
"Would you be willing to enchant something of similar automation" I asked, this got bloodfang intrigued
"What would you like enchanted more specifically" he asked
"A b17 bomber, preferably either the YB-40 gunship type, or the C-108 V.I.P. transport" I said, now bloodfang was beyond intrigued and was actually interested
"and what do you want to turn a b17 bomber into" bloodfang asked
"a livable home, similar to a wizards tent" i said
"i assume you wish to keep the B17 itself fully functional" he said
"only in that it can still fly, otherwise change whatever you like, i picked the B17, for it's size and it's durability, i would also ask that you make an autopilot feature, in the B17, of course via magic, or a house-elf with the knowledge to fly the plane either or will do" i said
"a house-elf with proper training would be easier, you would also need to learn how to fly, so you will need a place to stay in the meantime, and consider what this project is i am assuming you are attempting to run away, and keep running, with no wizard or muggle able to catch you" bloodfang said
"that is the goal yes, though i do have a favor, i can cash in, for a place to stay while i train and the B17, is prepared, i don't care if you buy one or build one" i said, the goblin nodded
"very well, what then" he asked
"is gringotts only in britain" i asked
"no we have branches all over the world" he said
"transfer all of my money to france after you take out however much you will need to pay for this little venture" i said, the goblin gave a bloodthirsty smile
"cautious one aren't you i assume you will want it under a different name" he said, i nodded
"eugene thomas patterson, an american who still believes in the british way of things, and has moved to france as soon as he was ready to do so" i said
"consider it done" he said
"i will need a place i can stay discreetly for a week, before i am hopefully able to meet my friends in france, is there a place" i asked
"we will set you up immediately" he said
"good, one last thing, and i do hope this works, DOBBY" i called
"Mr. harry potter called for dobby sir" the elf said as he appeared and a a wide and grateful smile appeared on my face
"dobby i am going to have a few house-elves in the near future and will likely need one in charge, your the only one i trust with this task, so would you be willing to work for me, you'd be paid of course" i said
"dobby doesn't want payment, serving the great master harry potter, is all the payment dobby asks for, dobby's dream was always to serve the great and kind master harry potter" dobby said, i gave the elf a look
"so you'll take the job, and we'll talk about payment later, with hermione in the room" i said
"yes master harry potter sir, dobby will work for master harry potter sir" dobby said
"you will need to bond him" bloodfang said as he walked through the process of bonding dobby, to my immense surprise, dobby transformed from the short decrepit creature, into a tall well groomed, man with raven black hair, he wore a mint black butler suit, that fit him perfectly to a T, he was the definition of beauty, to the point that veela would have tough competition, standing at six foot even
"i knew you were great master, i didn't think you were this great, you returned me to my original form" 'dobby' said, surprised and in glee despite his much calmer demeaner
"dobby" i asked
"call me desmond master, it sounds much more regal, much more deserving of servant to the most ancient and noble house of potter, master i would recommend recruiting winky as well" the newly named desmond said
"alright bring her" i said, dobby bowed snapped his fingers and soon reappeared with an elf that appeared worse for ware
"she has been drinking since her previous master freed her" desmond explained
"would you like to serve me winky" i asked
"would master harry really take such a bad elf like winky" winky asked
"winky you are not a bad elf, your master's expectations were simply too high, and yes i will take you" i said
"then i would serve master, but no payment" winky said resolutely
"fine, fine, whatever makes you happy" i said, she nodded and allowed me to bond with her, she turned into a beautiful well endowed woman with chestnut hair wearing a british maid uniform, she stood five foot seven i was thanking the lords she wasn't dressed as french maid
"right you two, will be briefed by bloodfang about your first task, which is to find me house-elves, who will be trained to do a very specific task plus their usual tasks, i want eight additional elves plus you two" i said, the two bowed
"we understand master, and please master do not refer to me as winky, i am whitney" the newly dubbed whitney said
"as you wish" i said
