10 Hidden action and first shop. (1/2)

\”Actually, they are still something.\” His declaration making the goblin raise an eyebrow, the meeting has already delved quite deep, seeing that he still needs something to be done was rather curious.

\”We have only spoken of what the punishment is, not a way to protect me again any tentative to stop it happening in anything other than my terms. I would like to know if, as the still legal Heir of House Potter I can enact a contract with Gringotts to protect my interests.\”

Hearing him, his accountant releases a sigh of relief.

\”It good that You don't lose sight of what was truly important. While the Head of House should be needed for the establishment of any contract made in his House name, nothing his say for a wizard wishing to protect itself against other as it normally befalls to his House to protect him, thus every action one could take on this way his heavily approved.\”

What followed was a good half-hour where Harry state every clause he can think off to protect himself without involving the direct attention of House Potter, while his accountant either nod or shake his head, leading him in the right direction and correct phrasing. The final contract was more simple than he would have liked it but should protect him enough should his Head of House actively act against him.

Once done, he was lead out of the room toward a deeper chamber littered with runic inscriptions on the walls, roof, and floor. On the center of the chamber, a rough pillar of solid rock supporting a crystal bowl at waist high and a similar crystal short knife on the side.

Making their way as the door shut down heavily, sealing any avenue until business concluded.

\”We are here today under the law of old in the demand of claim of the last heir of the ancient house of Slytherin. He has been judged ready to came to is inheritance by blood and present himself in front of magic herself to followed here decree. Came forward Harrison James Potter and state your claim under magic!\”

Taking a deep breath, he made a single step, leading him in front of the bowl. Taking the knife and splitting his left palm before closing his fist above the bowl, letting the flow of blood running free and soon fill the ceremonial bowl. With more and more blood filling it, row upon rows of runes illuminates in a deep emerald green similar to his eyes.

With a blinding flash of emerald light, his wound closed and the blood vanishes, leaving raw magic course through his veins and filling him with mindblowing euphoria that slowly subsides and settles deep within him.

\”Magic had made her decree and acknowledge your claim by founding you worthy!\”

This time it was the walls of Gringott turn to shone brightly, acknowledging the new Heirship of the lost House.

\”Gringott had acknowledged magic decree on act upon here wish!\”

Done he takes a step back, knowing that the same ritual would be needed for Clan Evans.

\”We are here today under the law of old in the demand of claim of the last heir of the ancient house of Slytherin. He has been judged ready to came to is inheritance by blood and present himself in front of magic herself to followed here decree. Came forward Harrison James Potter and state your claim under magic!\”

\”We are here today under the law of old in the demand of claim of the last heir of the ancient Clan Evans. He has been judged ready to came to is inheritance by blood and present himself in front of magic herself to followed here decree. Came forward Harrison James Potter Slytherin and state your claim under magic!\”

Again he made a single step, leading him in front of the bowl. Taking the knife and splitting his left palm before closing his fist above the bowl, letting the flow of blood running free and soon fill the ceremonial bowl a second time. Lightning the runes in a blood-red color.

The second flash vanishes, only to leave behind a wristband made of braided dark leather with the inside covered with blood-red runes.

\”Magic had made her decree and acknowledge your claim by founding you worthy! Gringott had acknowledged magic decree on act upon here wish!\”

Before he could even move, the wristband flew of the bowl and wrap itself snuggly around his left wrist. As they exit the now unlocked doors, he couldn't help but ask what of it.

Clan Evans was known for its runic work, the wristband his what would lead to Heir and Lord ring. The first strap contains a portkey to Evans hall, along the key to open it. The second is protection again all types of armful potion know, and the last his surely your most important defense, feeding on your magic it acts again any mental attack you are unable to throw off, including, compulsion, imperious curse, and legilimency. It should send a tingle each time you encounter one of them.\”

Having previously asked if him claiming those two House would appear on his letter and assured that each of them is written the last day of the term, it would not appear as he was still under House Potter and he would have the possibility to choose what title he claims as his primary after that.

Now done with his business with Gringott, it's a content Harry Potter who exits the bank, an expanded pouch allowing a thousand Galleon in, containing his seven hundred sixty changed Galleon. The pouch, a gift take from the Potter vault, he only lost forty Galleon for the five percent fees.

Being only eleven, he was free to roam the Alley and splurge in anything he will need before made his way out and made the last shopping trip before returning to the Dursley.

-What now?-
