Everyone left the office and headed to the back of the bank, where a mine cart was waiting for them.

" Is everyone going?" A Goblin asked Emir and Sancar since they had six people in their group, with them being nine.

" We can have two mine carts." Tulip looks at the Goblins.

" One cart with Sancar, Ominis, Sebastian, and myself. And another cart with Emir, Papa Fudge, and the two Aurors." She smiled.

" Okay. A second cart is coming right up." The Goblin nodded.

The group waited for the second cart to arrive. Once it appeared, Sancar got in on the first one, with Sebastian and Tulip helping Ominius get in, and they made themselves comfortable.

Emir, Cornelius, Mad-Eye Moody, and Shacklebot got in on the second. They followed Sancar's mine cart to Ominis's vault.

Sancar gets out of the mine cart with Tulip, Sebastian, and Ominis following behind him.

" Your sister left specific instructions for you, Young Ominis," Sancar says.

Tulip and Sebastian looked at the vault and saw a massive marble Snake guarding it.

" Who goes there?" The marble Snake hisses.

" What is it saying?" Sebastian asked, looking curious.

" It's asking who we are," Tulip translated.

Sebastian looks at Tulip.

" You know Parseltongue. I thought only my Family was born with such an ability." Ominis' eyebrow rose, looking impressed.

" Yeah. I was also born with the ability to communicate and understand Snakes. I only found out about it when I was five. My parents looked worldwide for documentation to help me understand the language. There was some, but the narrative was negative.

So, I wrote a book about it with Mr. Scamander's help. It's like a Parseltongue to English Dictionary mixed with historical facts about the language and what kind of Snakes or relative species can understand it. I was six or seven when the book got published, and it became a big hit." Tulip smiled.

Sebastian whistled, looking at Tulip in awe.

" Someone is being a gloat." Ominis snickered.

" At least I help the Wizarding World see that Parseltongue isn't a Dark language like how others perceived it because Lord Voldemort was the last known user at the time." Tulip glared, getting defensive.

" Lord Voldemort?" Sebastian asked, looking confused.

" We can talk about him at another time. Ominis, why don't you open your vault." Cornelius butts in when he saw his daughter's eyes briefly glow.

" My name is Ominis Gaunt. My sister, Celeste Gaunt, left this vault for me." Ominis responded in Parseltongue.

The marble Snake hissed when it sensed Ominis' magic and heard his voice thanks to Celeste's memory imbued in it. The vault's door opened, allowing Sebastian and Tulip to escort Ominis inside. Sancar and the others followed behind them.

Cornelius and the Aurors looked at their surroundings, seeing lots of money and books.

" Your sister left you books in braille," Sancar says, causing Ominis to smile, touched by his sister's kind action.

" Can you get me one, Sebastian?" Ominis asked.

" Sure!" Sebastian walks away from Ominis and grabs a black book. " Here you go." He hands it to his friend.
