Chapter 2 - Gringotts
Chapter 2
Dear Mr Potter
We are writing to inform you that as you did not grow up within the magical community you must come to Gringotts before reaching your majority in order to have your inheritance explained to you by the goblin in charge of your family estates. Therefore, we request that you come to the bank before 6pm today where Griphook will look after any requests or queries that you may have. You may be pleased to know that your wizarding relatives can be contacted and accompany you to the bank.

Head Goblin
Harry sat down on his bed with a thump. Inheritance? Wizarding relatives? What the? Now he was immensely confused. How had he never known that he had wizarding relatives. He thought that Dumbledore had told him that the Dursleys were his only living relatives. And he wasn't even sure he wanted to come into any inheritance that would affect his body.
Sometime later...
Harry stepped through the huge doors of Gringotts and headed over to an available goblin.
"I would like to speak with Griphook please."
"In relation to what?"
"The Potter inheritance."
"Of course, just head down that corridor on the right, turn left, then right, then right again and you'll be at Griphook's office."
Harry walked off in the direction of the corridor reciting the directions over and over again until he found the door he was looking for. He knocked and waited.
"Come in," said a meek voice. "Ah! Mr Harry Potter do take a seat."
"Hello Griphook," Harry said as he sat down.
"So, you're inheritance, which you shall receive in about three hours."
"Yes but I have a few questions first about the letter I was sent."
"Sure, ask away."
"What did it mean by wizarding relatives?"
"Oh, that's your father's older brother. Well, he's his half brother but they were very different in many ways. Maybe that's why you were never placed with him after your parents terrible deaths," Griphook sounded almost teary as he said this.
"Are you okay Griphook?"
"Yes, well, I don't know. I had a very close relationship with the Potter family for many years. Anyway. That doesn't matter we are here to talk about you."
"Okay, so what does my inheritance entail?"
"Well when you reach your majority all of your magic will be unlocked from your magical core. This means that everything in your body will grow to accommodate all of your new magic. That's why the most powerful wizards are so tall, like Dumbledore and therefore, really small ones are not very powerful, like Peter Pettigrew."
Harry scowled at the mention of Pettigrew's name but at the minute he was also getting angry at Dumbledore. How come he was never told that he had wizarding relatives?
"Would you like to view all of your vaults?"
"All of my vaults?"
"Yes Harry, in addition to your trust fund vault."
"That's interesting I had no idea about them."
"You didn't?" Harry shook his head no. "Well then how have you been transferring money out of them since you started at Hogwarts?"
"I haven't. I never knew about them I thought I only had the one vault."
"Oh right, but Dumbledore had all the papers with your signature on them."
"Dumbledore?" Harry nearly fell out of his chair.
"Yes."
"Can I see who they were transferred to?"
"Of course, although, if you had no genuine knowledge of this you will get it all back. Here is a complete list of all of your accounts as well as all of the 'benefactors'."
"Thank you." Harry took the list.

Harry sat back in his chair and exhaled. Holy crap he was rich. But he was descended from Slytherin and Gryffindor?
"How come I never knew that I was descended from two of the founders?"
"I was under the impression that Dumbledore had told you."
"No he didn't. I think he's been leaving out a few details such as the fact he's been paying my so called friends and my abusive relatives."
"Oh dear. Believe me, Dumbledore will not go unpunished. And just to let you know. Of course you are descended from Gryffindor and Slytherin. They had many children together."
"Together?!"
"Yes they were together for many years and perfectly in love."
Harry didn't know what to say to that. He had always thought they hated each other.
"Anymore questions?"
"Yes."
"Go ahead."
"Who is my uncle?"
"You don’t know who he is?"
“No, I don’t.”
“You must be able to go to him though or you won’t be able to receive your inheritance. You must be on their property in order to prevent the magical surge that is likely to occur as you mature into your full power.”
“Well, I guess I’m going to have to find him pretty soon then. So who is he?”
“His name is Lucius Malfoy.”
