‘Looking forward to seeing what your inheritance actually is?’ Asked Alan as they walked through the foyer of Gringotts.
‘Not really. I mean…’ Harry trailed off as he saw the looks of awe on Jack and Alan’s faces as they looked around at the interior of Gringotts. ‘I’ve already been into my vault. I saw my inheritance then. I’m not sure if Sirius left me anything.’
Jack turned to Harry and nodded. ‘You just want to get this over and done with right?’
‘Pretty much.’ He paused. ‘I’m done with the Wizarding world now. I’ve dealt with Voldemort. Smythe says they’re looking for me and Dumbledore hasn’t given up the idea that Voldemort may have survived, but – I’ve done my part. I just want to do this and get it over with.’
‘What will you do once this is sorted out?’
‘Smythe says I can stay on if I want.’ He shrugged. ‘I’d rather be out there doing stuff, than stuck in here with them.’
The three men approached a desk in the foyer. ‘Harry Potter to see Goblin Ragnak.’ Harry stated. ‘I do have an appointment.’
The goblin eyed Harry and his friends for a long moment, before he gestured to another across the hall. ‘Please follow my associate Mr Potter… And companions.’
Jack mock-shuddered as they walked away. ‘Get the feeling they don’t like us?’
Alan snorted. ‘I get the feeling they don’t like anyone.’
The goblin opened a door and gestured for them to enter. Harry walked in, flanked by Alan and Jack.
‘Welcome Mr Potter.’ Said an ancient looking goblin peering over thick glasses at Harry.
‘Goblin Ragnak I presume?’
‘Indeed. Please be seated.’ Ragnak said, gesturing to the seats that had appeared behind them.
Harry, Alan and Jack sat down in the seats Ragnak had provided.
‘I understand you are here to claim your inheritance from Lord Sirius Black, as stated in his last will and testament, and also to review your own accounts held here at Gringotts. Correct?’
‘Yes – that’s correct.’
‘I also understand that you have asked us to remake your vault keys as you do not have possession of your current keys?’
‘No – in fact…’ Harry said frowning, ‘I was under the impression there was only one key – as passed to me by Albus Dumbledore.’
‘Headmaster Dumbledore is listed as a magical guardian,’ Ragnak said peering at one of the scrolls on his desk. ‘As such – he would have possession of all your vault keys until such a time as either you reach your age of majority, or he considers you responsible enough to control your own inheritance.’
Harry was stunned. ‘Dumbledore is my guardian? But surely my Aunt Petunia would have been my guardian – I did live with her for fifteen years.’
‘Your Aunt is not magical – therefore your parents would have appointed magical guardians… although…’ He frowned. ‘This is most irregular.’ He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes before replacing them back onto his nose. ‘The documents state that your original magical guardians – appointed by your parents in their wills should anything harm or incapacitate them to the point of being unable to care for you – were both removed by order of the Wizengamot. One was the late Lord Black – due to his incarceration, the other a Mrs Alice Longbottom – removed due to her inability to care for you. According to official records she currently resides in Saint Mungo’s in the permanent ward. Albus Dumbledore elected himself as the most suitable as he is listed as the executor of your parents’ wills.’
‘Convenient.’ Muttered Alan.
Ragnak looked questioningly at Alan. ‘In what way Mr…’
‘Freedman. Alan Freedman.’ Alan replied. ‘I just consider it convenient for Dumbledore to hold onto Harry’s vault keys – as Harry knew nothing about them. How can you ask about something you don’t know exists?’ He turned to Harry. ‘Out of interest have you ever seen your parents’ wills?’
‘No.’ Harry answered. ‘I wasn’t aware they’d made them.’
Jack spoke up. ‘Is there anyway that we could see a copy of the Potters’ wills?’
Ragnak paused. ‘We do not keep copies of wills here in the bank…’
‘What about a Wizarding version the Probate service? Does one exist?’
‘Yes – but you must have permission from…’
‘It’s Harry’s parents.’ Jack said firmly. ‘I’m pretty sure he doesn’t need permission for something like that. Plus – we’re talking about his inheritance here. Wouldn’t it be easier for us all to have a better understanding of what they left people – legally?
Ragnak huffed. ‘Well – I suppose you are right Mr…’
‘O’Neill. Jack O’Neill. Two ells.’ Supplied Jack helpfully.
‘One moment.’ Ragnak snapped his fingers. The goblin that had showed them in opened the door to the room they were seated in. ‘A copy of both Potters’ wills – immediately.’

‘Major Lorne.’ Said the man as he offered his hand to Harry.
Harry reached across and shook hands. ‘Agent Harry Potter.’
‘I understand you’re our British liaison with the Asgard on Atlantis.’
‘That’s correct Major.’ Harry replied, ‘Commander Thor has stated that the Asgard wish to have a closer link with the Atlantis mission. The Asgard High Council have realised that the challenges that the Atlantis mission faces are important to all of Earth’s allies – not just Earth herself.’
Lorne nodded as they walked through the corridor to the Puddlejumper bay. ‘And to ensure you are fully conversant with all Atlantis matters – we’re following today’s itinerary.’ They stopped walking. Harry looked up in awe at the sight of yet another amazing part of Atlantis. Lorne smiled as he watched Harry’s face light up. ‘So, are you ready for your first trip in our Puddlejumpers?’
Harry grinned as he turned back to face Lorne. ‘You have no idea – I love to fly.’
