This is the first ch that Draco appears in! *yay* And I am SO glad for all the reviews that I've gotten so far, thanks guys and gals! Chapter 4, Enjoy!

Chapter 4
After having one of the house elves change some of Dudley’s old clothes into emerald robes that actually fit him and tying his hair back with a green leather cord, he Apparated over to Gringotts in Diagon Ally.
He strode in through the doors like he owned the place – and in a sense he did. He doubted that even Malfoy had as much as he did.
“May I help you, sir?” a goblin asked him.
“Yes, I’m here to meet with Grebnic of the Inheritance Office.” Harry said with a cool and detached voice.
“Oh, you inherited something from your parents, Potter? Now maybe you can get some decent clothes.”
Harry would recognize that drawl anywhere. After all, it had been used to taunt him for the past 6 years.
“Malfoy. Here to spend some more of Daddy’s money?”
“Seeing as you killed Daddy dearest in May, it’s my money now. But I’m simply here to make a withdrawal and get my school supplies.”
“Oh? I had one of my house elves do that earlier today. So, what classes are you taking?”
“Oh, I’m taking Defence, Transfiguration, Healing Magic, Animagus training, Wandless Magic, Potions and Magical Serpents. You?”
“The same.”
“Hmm…you have house elves?”
“Yes, Malfoy. They came with the mansion.”
“You have a mansion?!”
“Twelve, actually.”
“Oh. You do realize that this is probably the longest civil conversation we have ever had?”
“Yes, but we were getting too old for that kind of behaviour anyway, don’t you agree? Oh, there’s my appointment. See you at school, Malfoy.”
“See you at school, Potter.”
*****************************
***********************************
“Please take a seat, Mr Potter.”
“Thank you. Now, what’s this about additional vaults?”
“Did you know that you are a direct descendant of Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff and Merlin?”
“Yes. I found out last year.”
“Well…theirs are the vaults which you have inherited. You will have to put on the rings of each ancestor and if they accept you as the true heir, the symbol of each ancestor will appear as a tattoo on your right arm.”
“Oh, ok. Should we do this now? And, you wrote in your letter that it was possible to have all the vaults moved into one? I would like that, it would make things easier for me.”
“Of course, Mr Potter. We will join the vaults together, keeping them seperate but moving them to the same location. I have the rings here, so let’s get this sorted and then we can take care of the paperwork. If you please?”
The goblin pushed a small wooden box towards him. He opened it and inside were seven family rings; the gold and emerald of the Potters, the silver and diamond of the Blacks, the gold and ruby of Gryffindor, the silver and emerald of Slytherin, the silver and sapphire of Ravenclaw, the gold and amber of Hufflepuff and lastly the platinum and amethyst of Merlin.
“All except the Potter and Black rings will appear as a tattoo, so save those two for last. Place the rings on your right middle finger, please.”
Doing as the goblin asked, Harry placed the five rings on his right middle finger – one at a time – and watched as they disappeared. After each ring had vanished there was a faint tingle on the inside of his right arm.
“Very well, Mr Potter. Now you may place the Potter family ring on your right middle finger, and the Black family ring on the left middle finger. Now, if you’ll just sign here, here and here please, you will have full control of all your assets. Do you have any questions before we proceed?”
“Yes, I was wondering about the annual sum of 50 000 galleons going to the PhO?”
“Ah, yes. That would be the money that Headmaster Dumbledore has had transferred via the Order of the Phoenix account. Over 16 years the sum totals 800 000 galleons.”
“How in Hell was Dumbledore able to access my account?! And why wasn’t I informed of this sooner?!” Dumblefuck was so going to pay when Harry got back to Hogwarts.
“Your parents left him in charge of your accounts until you came of age. But we can get the money back if you want?”
“No, let him keep it. 800 000 out of 4 trillion is nothing. But I don’t want him to have anymore, so stop that transfer immediately. Also, I would like to set up an account for Miss Hermione Granger.”
“Yes, sir. And how large would you like it to be?”
“How about…600 million galleons? Yes, that will do nicely. Will you see to it that she gets her key?”
“Of course, sir. If you’ll sign here it will be done. Is there something else you would like?”
“Yes, I would like to transfer 12 million galleons to the Weasley family vault, with the clause that Mr Ronald Weasley is not to remove any of that money from the vault. The same goes for Mr Percy Weasley. And then I’m wondering if you do credit cards?”

When Harry got back to Griffin’s Nest later that evening he had decided that the next month would be spent learning as much as humanly possible. He would start by reading all his schoolbooks years 1-6 to practice on his wandless magic, having finally gotten a clue when he packed all the documents at Gringotts wandlessly with ease.
Then he would study this year’s textbooks to learn them by heart. After that he was going to tackle the libraries in the mansion. He had also decided on a rigorous training program with running, tai chi, karate, weight lifting, flying, riding and gymnastics to practice his flexibility.
He was going to start with all this tomorrow, but for now he was going to rest his still weary body.
“Saffy!”
“Yes, Master Potter? What can Saffy do?”
“Do we have any Dreamless Sleep potions? I don’t think I can take another night of the nightmares. And did you deliver the letter like I asked you to earlier?”
“Yes, Master Potter. Saffy went to Professor McGonagall first and gave her the list, and then left the letter on the Headmaster’s desk and then left. Then Saffy got Master’s supplies and books. Saffy will go get the potion for Master now.”
In less than a minute she was back with a small vial of Dreamless Sleep potion.
“Instruction from old Master says that Master Potter may only have these every night for 7 nights, then not for 7 nights. Otherwise Master can become addicted.”
“Thank you, Saffy. I will see you in the morning. Could you wake me at 6:00AM? I want to get an early start.”
“Of course, Master Potter.”
She disappeared leaving Harry alone to get into his pyjamas and swallow the potion.
He could feel the potion starting to take effect and he slowly drifted off to sleep, reassured in the thought that he wouldn’t have to relive any of his experiences for the first time in 4 months.
