Lost Sister, Found Uncle
Gringotts
Chapter 18: Gringotts
Harry sat at the table in the room the goblin had showed them to with Severus on his left and his uncle on his right. The goblin sat down across from them with a stack of parchments in front of him.
“I am Thornfoot. First of all, Ayden Potter nee Malfoy had wanted us to do was take off the spells she knew her son, Harry would have on him. It will only take a few minutes. After, there is a lot we have to talk about.” The Thornfoot said.
“How will the spells be removed?” Harry asked.
“Come right over here. Stand on the stone and place your hands on the stone in front of you.” Thornfoot said.
Harry walked over to the left side of the table where there was a grey stone set in the white marble floor with a grey stone standing in front of it, making it look like a small alter. Harry stepped on to the stone and placed his hands on top.
First, his hands started to glow in a pale white light. It slowly moved up his arms until it was covering his whole body. A few minutes later, the light disappeared and Harry was allowed to step off the stone.
What Harry didn’t realize, was that he had changed once again. He still looked like his father, but he now looked more like his mother and her brother. Harry’s Malfoy blood had become more noticeable. Harry’s hair still had a lot of black, but had more of the dark red and white blonde colour from his mother and uncle. What had changed the most were his eyes. While they were still green, they now also had streaks of silver from his Mum’s side of the family.
Harry had also gained a few more inches in height and filled out more. Harry Potter now looked like a perfect blend of the Potter and Malfoy families.
“Now there is no question about it that you are a Malfoy and a Potter.” Severus said.
Harry smiled. “I am just glad that my hair will now do as I want it too and that my eyesight truly isn’t as bad as my Father's had been. I hated wearing spectacles and especially my old ones. Now, I think that there was more we have to talk about.”
“Yes, there is. As you know, Mr. Malfoy-Potter, the spells have all been removed. Your Seer abilities are now free. You also know that it was Albus Dumbledore that put the spells on you and your mother. While your Mother did take more after your Grandmother then her brother and father, with her true looks, Ayden Malfoy-Potter, did look like a Malfoy. Ayden had wanted me to tell you that if Dumbledore didn’t put spells on her, the truth would have come out sooner. While her hair was mostly red, was streaked with blonde. Mr. Malfoy-Potter, your eyes are even more like your mother’s now. Ayden Malfoy-Potter looked a lot like her mother, but it was still obvious just whose daughter she was.
“Now, we goblin’s here at Gringotts knew the minute Ayden had first walked into our bank that she was the lost Malfoy daughter. But sadly we could not do anything until Ayden had come in the day of her seventeenth birthday. What we did do was make sure that Ayden or her family could have her vault that was set up upon her birth.”
“I was wondering about that.” Lucius said.
“Ayden never touched it. It is now one of the many vaults your nephew will have control of upon his seventeenth birthday.”
“Vaults? I was lead to believe that there was only the one vault I had been using since I was eleven years old.” Harry said.
“I am not surprised. Dumbledore was to tell you that you had quite a few vaults as the Potter heir.”
“In that case, I think the vaults should be checked for activity and transactions.” Lucius said.
“Good idea.” Harry said.
Thornfoot tapped his long finger on a parchment in front of him.
“It will be done.” Thornfoot said.
“I have a question. Who has control over my Step-mother’s vault?” Lucius asked.
“Since Mrs. Kathlyn Malfoy is missing, you are caretaker of the vaults.” Thornfoot said.
“Missing? She has been thought dead for thirty-seven years.” Lucius said.
“No one ever thinks to ask us. Kathlyn has been missing for thirty-seven years.” Thornfoot said.
Lucius sighed. “Unfortunately, I was only four years old when Ayden and Lyn disappeared.”
“And you had just remembered Kathlyn.” Thornfoot said. “And the audit of the Potter vaults is done. Would you like to see this?”
“Yes, please.” Harry said and took the parchment from Thornfoot.
He put it down on the table so that Lucius could also read it.

The list continued on the same way until just before Harry’s fifth year. A large amount was transferred from Harry’s vault into the vault of one Albus Dumbledore. Dumbledore had also emptied three of his smaller vaults into his own.
“I did not authorise any of these transfers.” Harry said.
“Then do you want the transfers reversed?” Thornfoot asked.
Harry smirked. “Yes, please.”
Thornfoot gave Harry a smirk. “It will be done. I will let you know how it went in a day or so.”
Twenty minutes later, Harry, Lucius and Severus were walking out of Gringotts. Harry picked up quite a few Owl Order magazines from a few different stores in Diagon Alley.
Fawkes made Harry and Lucius laugh and Severus to try a little harder to keep his amusement to himself when they were about to leave to return to Hogwarts. When Fawkes seen they were heading to the fireplace in The Leaky Cauldron, Fawkes started to sing again. But this time is sounded more offended.
“Fawkes, why don’t you like it when we use the Floo?” Lucius asked.
Fawkes sang again, making Lucius start to laugh. “Fawkes, you’re a phoenix, you are fire.”
Harry started to laugh. “Fawkes doesn’t like any other fire but his own.”
Severus snorted. Strange bird. Fawkes sang a few notes and then disappeared in flames.
“I take it that Fawkes didn’t like it that you two were laughing at him.” Severus said.
“Mostly it was the fire he didn’t like.” Harry said.
“Let’s get back to the school. It will be time for lunch soon.” Lucius said.
Harry Floo’d to his Uncle Luc’s office first. Followed by Lucius and Severus. The three then made their way down to the Great Hall for lunch.
