Harry POV:
After today with classes and that argument I overheard between Dumbledore and McGonagall I just decided to head to the dorms when I got there I saw Hermione and Ron busy studying in the common room so I decided to go and speak to them.
"Hey Ron ,Hey Hermione .What have you two been up too " I asked them
"What's it to you" they both screamed at me.
"Hey what's wrong I thought we were friends"
"That's right we were friends up until you got Cedric killed" said Hermione with Ron nodding in agreement.
"That wasn't my fault"I protested
"Oh really not you fault hey... who's blood was used to resurrect YOU-KNOW-WHO.. whose ,Harry whose." Half asked, half shouted Ron
"Its not my fault that stupid spell needed my blood"
"Well whether yours or not we cant be friends with someone who cant even prevent his own blood from being taken forcibly" they both said.
After hearing that I couldn't take it any longer and just ran to my dorm got into bed and cried myself to sleep.
The next morning I woke up, got dressed and made my way to breakfast. Seeing as it was Saturday not many people were in the Great Hall from what I could see. Everything seemed normal until I noticed everyone glaring at me, the only ones that weren't were all the teachers besides Snape (Normal) and for some reason Dumbledore ( Strange, must be because of what I heard yesterday ) on the student end the one's not glaring were Luna , Neville and surprisingly Draco Malfoy - he just looked at me in what seemed to be pity. Deciding to deal with it later I made my way to the Gryffindor table to have breakfast, as I got there people stopped me from sitting down and whenever I asked to please sit they would say * Why should we let someone who would just stand and watch someone die sit at our table * feeling dejected I was about to walk out when I heard the most unlikely thing ever
" Harry, come sit by us "
As I heard that I turned around and saw that it was Draco that had said it and stranger still the whole of the Slytherin table that was at breakfast was nodding in agreement. Deciding that I wasn't going to question it I just went and had a seat at the Slytherin table and started eating. Surprisingly none of them were questioning me or saying snide remarks (which I was more grateful for I don't know)
As I was about to finish an owl flew in and landed in front of me with an official looking letter. As I took it I saw that it had Gringotts emblem on it, opening the envelope I started reading the letter...
Dear:Mr Harry James Potter
We here at Gringotts would first formally like to congratulate you on your victory in the Triwizard Tournament held at Hogwarts recently.
Secondly it has come to our attention that there are some discrepancies with you vault here at Gringotts.
We are therefore requesting you to please attend a meeting here at 9 am today.
Yours Faithfully
Chief Accounts Manger
Ragnok
(P.s:We also request that Minerva McGonagall Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts also attends with you.
This letter also serves as a portkey to our bank just say "Gold is Good" and it shall bring you to Gringotts)
After reading this I immediately head to the staff table and go up to Professor McGonagall...
"Hmm Professor.."
"Yes Mr Potter, what can I do for you ?"
"Well I recieved this letter this morning from Gringotts and it requests that I attend a meeting at 9 and stipulates that you must also be in attendance"
"Really may I please see the letter for a moment"
After I hand it over I see her read through it. After she's done she gets up, puts the letter down and makes her way to Professor Dumbledore. When she gets there I see her whisper a few words into his ear and then he slowly nods. Once she's done she makes her way back to me grabs the letter and gestures to me to follow her out the side entrance of the hall.
Once outside the hall she tells me hold the letter and activate the portkey as it is now 8.50 which means that the meeting will be in 10 minutes.
After saying the phrase I start feeling weightless for a few seconds and next thing I know we are standing outside of Gringotts. Once we have our bearings we make our way in and go to the main teller.
"Excuse me ,Sir, but we have an appointment with Chief Ragnok at o this morning and I was wondering if you could tell him that we have arrived please " I ask him as politely as possible. As soon as I say that the whole bank goes quiet.
"Well this is a pleasant surprise. Very few wizards greet us with respect. I shall go inform Chief Ragnok that you have arrived" the Goblin says and then leaves.
A few minutes later the Goblin comes back and gestures us to follow him. After walking through a few passage ways we stop in front of a large oak door. Our "Guide" gently knocks on the door.
"COME IN" We hear from the other side.
Our "Guide" gestures us in and soon leaves.
"Ah Mister Potter and Miss McGonagall , thank you for coming today"
"Chief Ragnok, it is my pleasure. May your Gold overflow and May your enemies fall at you feet"
"Well this is a pleasant surprise, Mr Potter, very few know of our ways and yet those that do refuse to respect them. I can see that you will become a great wizard"
After he says this he turns and treats McGonagall who also recites the same greeting as me. At this Chief Ragnoks smile grows even more and gestures us to sit down.
"Mr Potter I am sure you are wondering why you are here today" he asks me which i nod in reply "Well the reason for this meeting today is that it has come to our attention that your parents will has never been opened before today. We also checked our records and found that before you reached the age of 11 there had been monthly transfers out of your vault as such we had called you today so we can sort all this out.
To save time we have already accessed your deceased parents wills and in them it names you and Minerva McGonagall as beneficiaries. They state that Minerva McGonagall is to receive Five hundred thousand Galleons and that the rest of your inheritance is to fall to you at the age of 13."
As he says this I can see that Professor McGonagall is about to cry and so to comfort her I just hug her. At first she flinches and as I'm about to pull away she pulls me into a tighter hug.
"Now Mr Potter shall we begin the process of claiming your inheritance through the Inheritance Test"
