Lilly appeared outside Gringots and easily went inside the building. Her trips have become normal so she wasn't fought for anything besides proof of identification when she was there to meet with Fangmaster.
Although Griphook started steering clear when she showed up which was upsetting slightly. It was always a good day to insult the shark toothed sleaze"Hey honey!" She chripped walking inside her husband's office. Fang groaned out a sigh, letting his head fall to his desk. Lilly frowned a moment but his resigned, "What barely legal thing do you need me to pull off legally for Harry do you need now?" made her smile.
She handed him the test they'd made up together. "He passed his test with flying colors." She pointed out.
Fangmaster looked up, now realizing this was somthing he was actually prepared for. He looked out the parchment with a critical eye."Hmmm. His penmanship is horrid and he misspelled the larger words.... I personally think he could have discribed the reaction between the liquid Phoenix tears core and the solid turquoise vein core a little better....hmm......" Finally he sighed. "Alright fine. I'll have the trace removed." He said in defeat. "But you have to figure out how to get him a wand from Olivander."
Lilly shrugged. "I know a guy who owes me a favor. Muggle, but excellent in hiding his identity. All he needs is a little glue, a little flesh colored silicone, and a little time with Harry and we'll be a Go." She smiled.
Fangmaster smiled and shook his head. "You sure do rack up your favors. Any others I might wamt to know about?"Lilly hummed in thought. "None of real importance... Vella owes me a favor for keeping an affair a secret, a few house elves owe me a solid for taking some blame and saving their hides. Bellatirx Lastrange still owes me for getting her some pretty little toys and professional lessons on how to use them. Throwing knifes. Oh! You know that wand maker in Knockturn?" She asked. Fangmaster nodded.
"Indeed. She's the best wand maker this side of the Pacific Ocean, but because she set up shop in knockturn and her supplies is often illegal, people don't talk about her much. Most lights don't even know about her anymore." He shook his head. Lilly smiled though.
"Yeah well, she owes me several favors for getting her much of her supplies. I'm thinking of calling one in when Harry turns eleven and getting him a personalised. His magic is amazing! He can apperated safely like it's nothing and actually apperated to the haven when he was four though Anguis tells me Harry was holding a wand at the time. Just today he collected his own life debt by healing a..." She paused, making sure her husband had her full attention."What? What did he heal?" Fangmaster asked curious. Harry did sound incredibly powerful, and for a 7 year old to heal somthing from the brink of death not only must he be powerful, but he has a pure heart too.
"He healed a Dementor from a fatal injury." She said, almost laughing when her husband's jaw dropped. She continued on. "The dementor not only accpeted the life debt, but also claimed Harry with a proper dementor claiming ritual. Even even allowed Harry to name him. Harry went with Hallow of all things." She chuckled and rolled her eyes.Fangmaster was speechless. In the very VERY rare cases there were about Wizards saving a dementor and forming a life debt, the dementors would always refuse the debt and let their magic kill them. And this- and Harry- it claimed- what? But wh-
<-{I'm sorry}->
<-{The brain's processing functions seem to have been over loaded and are not working at this time}->
<-{Please come back at a later date}->Fangmaster sighed. "So... Harry is powerful and might need a special wand?" He asked, focussing on that. Lilly nodded and moved to sit in her husband's lap.
"Yep! First I'm going to test him with his wand work before we go. If he passes I'll take him to Miss. Piner and let her at him for a day. Around the same time I think I'll start teaching him all about the process of making a wand and whatnot. If he stays the same that he is now, he probably won't realize the wand is for him until we tell him. Obviously I'd tell Piner to make it seem like a lesson in wand making too, just to keep up the thinking." She thought on it.Her husband chuckled. "Little oblivious is he?" He asked. Lilly nodded with a smile.
"Yeah. Harry can be kind of oblivious. He approached a dementor and thought the feeling he got was actually just him reacting the creature, part of why he tried to help. But more than that, Harry just doesn't expect things. It's not like he isn't well loved or doesn't get presents whenever his birthday or Yule comes around. He just simply doesn't expect things to be given to him." She explained.Fangmaster nodded. "Suddenly I'm more greatful that I allowed you to talk me into this. The Potter home... That child is a nightmare. Last I was there the boy hurt a houself and ran to Miss. Potter crying about how the elf had yelled and cursed at him. She then threw the elf out on the streets, knowing that he might be forced back into slavery."
Lilly gasped. "That's awful. Where is the elf now, do you know?"
"Apparently, Black Manor was leaked to the elves of Potter Manor to be safe refuge should any of the others befall the same fate." He muttered. Lilly grined and patted him on the chest.
"Aww. Look at you going soft." She teased, earning a glare.
"I will drop you."Lilly sighed and leaned her head on Fang's shoulder. "You know..." She smirked. "I've been thinking about it and... How would you like to meet Harry? He's built up quiet the little family. He walks around with so many claims I fear the day his inheritance comes in. When is that again?" She asked. Fangmaster stroked her hair.
"Curently the Ministry has us set it at 17, but there are rumors of the Wizgamont pushing for either 16 or 18. They say the children should either be allowed at least a full year to understand and controle their creatures or not have to worry about going through that during school at all."
"And you. What do you think?" Lilly asked.
"Honeslty, I don't care either way. If I had to chose, If probably set it at 10 or 11. Any of the other changes the normal human goes through are often affected by the creature if one in inherited. Not only would it make it easier for the children by making it so they only have to deal with one version of the confusion they'd go through, but it would also incourage equqality not only about blood, but also about creatures. Animals and wizards alike." He explained. Lilly only nodded and hummed."It sounds great. You're right, it might irradicate the blood purity nonsense, but these are humans we're talking about. They would just go to the chain of power that applies to creatures and make everything worse." She offered. Fangmaster just sighed
"Like I said. I don't really care. They could change it to 46 for all the fucks I give, just tell me when a final decision is made so I only have to change the standard once."
They sat like that for a little bit, just enjoying eachother's company.Eventually, Lilly sighed and moved to stand. "Alright. Remember. Trace, removed. Send word when you do, okay?" She reminded her husband.
Famgmaster nodded. "Alright. I love you."
"I love you to sweetheart." Lilly said with a smile for apperating away.
