Nine layers of Hell by fvdv123

Chapter 24

Disclaimer:

Mrs. J.K., we are almost halfway, I have to say that it will be a long run, but, three layers of Hell sounds so wrong. So I am curious who will stick with me to the end. Ah, disclaimer, for free.

Breakfast in bed was fun until it was time to get ready to meet the parents.

24 In-laws, you can't live with them and sure can live without.

The mail from the Ministry and Gringotts was collected by Winky and delivered with our breakfast, the message was the same, congratulations on the bonding, Luna folded her letters back up and put them away as if they were heirlooms.

I sent a message Patronus to Tonks to tell her we were ready to move, together we went to the entrance hall to wait for the in-laws.

At 10.00 the parents arrived, Madam Bones came along with my account manager Sharpclaw and Ivanovich. After the introductions, we showed the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets. With §Property of Potter, stairs.§ I opened the passage, §light.§ illuminated the entrance while I did a small explanation of Myrtle and Tom Riddle, and that Dumbledore knew this was the entrance, showing him the alert charms I moved side.

Daphne said: "Astoria, that snake is still a gruesome sight. You can stay up here if you want."

Astoria shook her head: "No, I have to see for myself that the snake is dead. I will go down with you."

Sharpclaw was drooling at the sight of the shed skin: "If this skin is any indication of its size, then we will do good business, Mr. Potter."

I opened the main door and showed the Basilisk, I commented: "Fawkes destroyed the eyes, and some of the venom is drained, the rest is all here."

Madam Bones asked: "You killed this animal in defense of the school and to save a student, did you know that this deserves an Order of Merlin First Class, Mr. Potter? I showed this memory to the head of the Department of Mysteries, he said that the whole school is in your debt."

I shrugged: "If there is a money reward to it I will accept it, if not, then you may keep that Order for all I care."

Gregor Ivanovich was done negotiating with Mathias Greengrass and Daphne, he interrupted: "I signed the contract and will bring my tools and trunks tomorrow at the same time as today. I need a week to render a Basilisk this big. Is there a way to enter and leave this place without you opening the doors?"

"Dobby?" I called, when Dobby popped in, I asked: "Dobby, can you bring Mr. Ivanovich here and out without passing through Hogwarts?"

"Dobby can! Mr. Ivano needs to call Dobby and Dobby will bring Mr. Ivano here," said Dobby enthusiast.

I smiled at Dobby, "The contract is signed, he may call you. You can take him outside the gate, is that alright, sir? Good, Thank you, Dobby."

When they were gone I addressed the next item: "Well, this handled the Snake, now the Horcruxes, there are two left, my scar and the locket, for the locket in need Sirius to allow me inside his house. Next Friday Gringotts will get rid of the scar. Did I miss something?"

Madam Bones sighed: "Yes, the Potter Alliance, and the fact that we let you down when you needed us. We should have prevented Dumbledore from gaining Magical Guardianship over you."
