"Now, follow me to the chambers, sir."
We followed the goblin as he led us through the majestic building.
Inside the chambers, there was an office table with lots of documents, a set of sofas, and a tea table for meetings. He led us to sit at the Sopha and went behind his office table, and brought a box with the Pooter family insignia.
He placed it in front of us and said
"I must warn you those who pretend to potter heir and try this ring will have their finger cut off by the magic of the family. Not only that but you will also be charged with line theft and may even face Azkaban, as it is one of 28 sacred families. You have been warned, and that finishes my duty of presenting the ring."
I know that this is a standard procedure, and this warning will be given to those heirs who come with the heads of the family. It is there to make sure no one uses any loophole in the system to break free, even though it is pointless, as the voting decides the outcome anyway.
"I have been warned, and I acknowledge all the risks."
I opened the box and saw a silver ring with Potter insignia. I wore that ring, and it resized itself to perfectly fit my ring finger.
"You have been acknowledged as the heir potter, sir; congratulations."
"Congrats Harry."
"Thank you, Uncle Edward, thank you, griphook."
"Now that this matter has been ended, let us discuss your properties," Griphook said to me with a mischievous tone with a wide grin.
He brought a stack of documents toward me.
"These are the documents of all your properties, and this is your bank statement" he passed a slip towards me. I had a whopping 15,420 069 galleons in my bank, making me one of the richest wizards alive, it may appear low to become the richest wizard alive, but the population of magical Britain is 10,000, and 1 galleon is nearly 5 pounds. I was excited, to say the least.
"But you have no access to that as you are still a child" All of my excitement disappeared as quickly as it came. I was furious about how this goblin was playing games with me. This is the reason why he was grinning at me like a madman, how I wanted to shove his face in a heap of cow dung.
"Do not worry, though. You have a trust vault set up. You can draw up to ten thousand galleons per year. It will be refilled every year." I sighed in relief
"it is the same with your other properties. You will only have access to it after you become the lord. But you can still visit potter manner."
After the discussion was complete, I left with Uncle Edward with the keys to potter manor to diagon alley, and I wanted to buy some books and explore the alley a bit.
We roamed the alley a bit, and it was quite a unique experience. I tried the ice cream. Its taste changed with every lick. There were no weird flavors like the every flavor beans. I had tried some of those when Uncle Edward brought those to me 7th birthday. I had bull shit flavor, apple, and cat vomit, and then I threw those out. Which kind of sicko makes those. How did he know that was how they tasted? Did he taste-check them? Did he hire someone? What did he advertise? We need someone to eat bull shit and say how it tastes.
I went to Flourish and Botts, and I bought all the first-year books except potions. Uncle Edward says it's not safe to learn without a guide. I will just study the theory before school.
A/N, sorry for the short chapter. Today was a hectic day, so I was not able to write an 1100-word chapter. The word count for this chapter is 661
