The Potter family vault

Harry and Julian apparated to an empty alley near the leaky Cauldron and started walking towards it. A comfortable silence surrounding them as they walked. Arriving at the Leaky Cauldron Harry and Julian said a quick 'Hello' to Tom and headed towards the back where the hidden entrance to Diagon Alley is located. Julian tapped the bricks and the gateway opened revealing the entrance to Diagon alley.
"Do you want to go somewhere before we go to Gringotts?" Asked Julian as they walked towards Gringotts.
"No" was the reply he received.
Entering Gringotts they headed to the front desk where a goblin asked what service do they require. Julian replied "we want to check out the Potter family vault."
The goblin nodded and called "Griphook!" and a moment later a goblin appeared.
"Griphook takes these two to the Potter family vault."
Griphook nodded and said
"Follow me I will take you to the vault."
Harry and Julian followed him to the carts. Once seated and the cart stated moving, Harry turned to Griphook
" I remember you. You took me to my vault the first time I came here."
Griphook looked surprised or at least that what Harry thought it was.
"You remember me?"
Harry nodded
"I am surprised mr.Potter. No wizard remembers what goblin took them to their vault."
"Well they should" this time it was Julian who spoke.
After a few minutes of silence, Harry asked a question that was nagging at him since he found out there was a Potter family vault.
"Griphook why didn't the goblins tell me about the Potter family vault"
Julian also looked up at this curiosity written on his face. Griphook, again, looked surprised.
"We sent you a letter concerning your vaults last summer. Did you not revive them?"
Harry shook his head no.
"I can give them to after we see the vault if you like."
Harry looked at Julian as if asking permission. Julian nodded. 5 minutes later they arrived at the vault.
"Place your hand on the door and state your full name." instructed Griphook

"Ok letHarry James Evans Potter" stated Harry and the door opened revealing the vault. Harry's jaw dropped at sight of so much gold but Julian looked as if he expected this and laughed at Harry's expression. At Harry questioning look he explained

" The Potters are a very old family so this is expected"

Understanding spread over Harry's face and the two friends explored the vault. The vault consisted of furniture, books, jewlry and gold. Lots and lots of golds. After a while of looking around the vault they both came across a box on top on an acient looking table. Upon opening the box they found a watch with a letter inside. Harry opened the letter and read

Dear Harry

If you are reading this letter then we are dead and Peter betrayed us to Voldemort. We hope that sirius did his job and raised you. In this box you will find a watch. The watch is a portkey to Potter manor. If you didn't know, Potter manor is the place where i grew up and where almost all Potters lived. when you want to portkey to the manor just put your hand over the watch and say 'Potter manor'. Just remember that we love so much and are proud to call you our son.

Love

Mum and Dad

Tears were running down Harry's cheeks when he finished the letter. Julian, who also read the letter, put his hand on the younger boys shoulder in silent comfort.

"After talking to Griphook you can take the portkey to diagon alley." said Julian while handing Harry the watch. Harry put the watch on and said

" Can you come too?'

"You want me to come with you?."

Harry noded.

"Lets talk to Griphook." The two boys exited the vault and sat back in the vault.

When they arrived on the main floor Griphook lead them to a office where a goblin sat behind the desk.

" Ah mr.potter im Nagnok and im right to asume that you are here to see the papers reagarding your vaults?."

Harry noded and replied

"Yes...sir"

" very well here they are." Nagnok handed harry a sheet of parchement.

Dear Mr Potter

Here at gringotts you are considered of age at 15 so it is time to inform you of your vaults. You have four different vaults along with your personal one. The Potter family vault, the Gryffindor vault. the Ravenclaw vault and the Hufflepuff vault. You are now allowed to take money out of these vaults.

Nagnok head goblin of Gringotts

"Can I change the person who manages my account?" asked Harry

"Yes you can as long the person is of age."

"I want Julian to manage my vaults."

"Me!?!" Julian said
Harry turned towards him.
"Yes you Julian. I trust you"
Nagnok took out a knife, parchment and quill.
"Put three drops of blood on the parchment and sign your name." instructed Nagnok.
Julian did as told and the parchment turned white.
"It is done." Said Nagnok. With that the two friends left and took the portkey to potter manor. Neither noticed that they were being watched by a family of redheads.
