The Power of Inheritence
Chapter 4
Harry quickly fell into a respectful bow upon walking into the powerful goblin's domain, not realizing that he was one of the only modern wizards who would even consider bowing before a creature, let alone actually doing it. He didn't hear Gemtooth's disguised gasp as his escort left or notice the shock on the King's face. He couldn't know that this relatively minor show of due respect would eventually change the British Wizarding World for generations. He raised from his bow once King Ragnok had recovered enough to request it of him, and after a brief silence Ragnok started the meeting.
"Well, Mr. Potter, as you may have realized their have been some irregularities concerning your business here." Harry leaned in with a solemn and serious expression on his face, realizing that this meeting was a lot more important than he thought
"Could you elaborate, your highness?" Harry asked in an intent voice.
"Well, as you know, we received a letter, supposedly from you, stating that you didn't want the late Lord Sirius Orion Black's estate and that we were to split your share between Albus Percival Wolfric Brian Dumbledore and Ginevra Molly Weasley. The letter also implied that you and Miss Weasley were betrothed." Ragnok took a breath, intending to continue, but he was understandably interrupted with a load "WHAT!" from a bewildered Potter. "Shall I assume that the betrothal was also a lie then? Anyway, I intend to put you through a small blood ritual to determine your powers and bloodline. After this we will go from there, starting with the Black Estate." Ragnok placed a rune carved bowl and a dagger. "Please allow your blood to fill this bowl." Harry hesitatingly picked up the offered dagger and dragged it across his left palm before holding it over the bowl.
After a few moments, the small chalice-like bowl was completely full of his precious life blood. Ragnok pulled a sheet of thick velum out of a drawer in his desk before dunking it into the bowl. Taking it out after a couple of minutes, he pressed it flat against the desktop and briefly waved his gnarled fingers whilst sub-vocally mumbling over it. The sheet briefly glowed a bright red before words the colour of fresh blood spread themselves out.

"Damn, that's a lot of blocks! It seems Mr. Dumbledore's plans are far more sinister than first thought..." Ragnok absently mused before loudly clapping his hands. "Ah, almost forgot, you'll be wanting to know what your worth, right?" He exclaimed passing a slip of parchment to the new Lord several times over. On reading the amount Harry's eyes rolled to the back of his head as he fainted letting the parchment, which read 999 Billion Galleons (750 Billion Liquid), flutter to the floor. "I need a Healer now God damnnit!" At Ragnok's exclamation, Healers rapidly converged on the room, picking the young hero up from his place on the floor. They absently noticed his body's subconscious flinch as their long goblin hands unknowingly brushed a tender area. Being professionals, they duly noted it, to be investigated later. With that, they ran to the Gringotts Hospital Wing.
Later, whilst Harry was recovering in the Hospital, King Ragnok and his advisors were discussing the various injuries they had uncovered, both old and new, as they waited for his body to regain consciousness...
