Dobby turned to the body he clicked his fingers and Harry watched stunned as the whole body was soon reduced to nothing but bones. All the parts he could sell were in jars covered in stasis spells and the thick skin was rolled up and fastened with a strap. Harry turned to Dobby.
"Excellent Dobby." Harry watched as the small elf puffed out his chest with pride. "Now I know you're bound to Hogwarts, but is there anyway you can leave the wards and take this stuff to my godfather Sirius Black, and ask that he store it in his family vault."
Dobby nodded. "Old Long Beard not called Dobby, only if Long Beard calls Dobby will he have to tell. Dobby can take stuff to Great Harry Potter's dogfather." Dobby popped away with all the jars and the skin.
Harry had never had time to explore the chamber after he killed the Basilisk, but right now he didn't feel like being with the rest of the school. Harry noticed the huge bust of Slytherin, he walked around the pool. He noticed another small Snake engraved at the side of its head. Two years ago he had been running for his life, so he wasn't surprised he hadn't noticed. Harry closed his eyes and hissed.
"Open" There was loud rumbling and suddenly the wall began to part just like it did when you entered Diagon Alley from the back of the Leaky Cauldron. The room wasn't that big, but Harry did noticed a small book case and a rather comfy chair. There were no portraits but there was a small desk and on it was several books. One was a journal of Salazar Slytherin himself, the other two were spell books. Harry flicked through the spell book at first he just saw random symbols, however the more he stared at the pages, the more he noticed the symbols began to shift until he could read the text plain as day. Harry closed the book and read the title.
Salazar Slytherin book of Parseltongue spells and magic.
Harry took a seat in the big comfy chair and began to read. Suddenly Dobby popped back.
"Dogfather said he was happy to take ingredients long as great Harry Potter shares. Dogfather will take to Gringotts and get goblins to weigh it and any gold rendered is split between you and Dogfather."
Harry frowned playfully. "Deal, tell the old mutt I accept." Harry watched as Dobby popped away, he laughed to himself and carried on reading.
Present day Gringotts
Harry noticed Backslicer was trying to gain his attention. "Are you okay Lord Potter-Black, you seemed to be spacing out quite a bit." Harry nodded towards his account manager and then removed the ring, he slipped it onto his finger and suddenly the magic of House Slytherin washed over him. He looked to his left hand where three rings were now on his fingers. Harry looked up at Backslicer.
"Backslicer, a year ago the late Lord Black bought the remains of a Basilisk into the bank, do you know what was done with it? Harry watched as the goblin nodded.
"Indeed Milord, it was weighed and bought by ourselves. Such ingredients is hard to come by these days, we did ask the late Lord Black how he had acquired it and he had been a little reserved in telling us. He said that he wanted his share to go into the Black vault and the other share to go in the Potter vault. Which reminds me. Inside the Black vault you will find another small gift for you."
Harry looked across to Backslicer. "Can I visit my vaults now?"
Deep within Gringotts
Harry and Hermione hands gripped the handle bars of the mine cart, he didn't know what a roller coaster was after all, he had never ridden one, but that's how Hermione had described their ride. Harry looked to the track in front of them and noticed it looped. Below them was nothing but an abyss of darkness, however something caught their eyes. A flicker of bright flames. As they got closer and lower they came to see what had been causing the flame it was a huge Dragon chained in the centre of some pillars. Harry noticed it was being kept occupied by several goblins while more were busy emptying one vault into another. Backslicer exited the cart, Harry noticed Hermione had grabbed hold of his arm tightly as the both looked at the dragon.
"Quickly Milord come along, don't worry about him. You now stand where the vaults of our most esteemed clients keep their gold and wealth. The team you see before you are actually busy emptying the Lestrange vault and everything in it into your vault." There was sudden shout and one of the goblin suddenly fell and started shaking violently.
"Excuse me, Milord." Backslicer and the other goblins ran to where one of their own was now laid, the shakes had stopped and the poor goblin laid still. Harry noticed in its hand was a silver cup, and engraved on it was a badger. He could feel some nasty magic wash over him, and backed off quickly. He noticed Backslicer had also been drawn to the cup, suddenly there was a large shout.
A Horcrux! Quickly, send for the curse breakers, Milord please stand back." Harry stepped back, he wondered what a Horcrux was.
"Excuse me, Backslicer but what is a Horcrux?" Harry noticed his account manager turned to him and frowned.
"Dark magic Milord, a Horcrux is a soul anchor. A witch of wizard splits their soul by a ritual which calls for an act of murder of an innocent. The soul piece is then attached to the item. Our curse breakers deal with them abroad on a regular basis. However, we have never found one within our vaults. Had the Lestranges been alive and Bellatrix no name was present, then she would be immediately executed.
