CHAPTER 9
"Misters Potter and Snape, I assume?", asked them the goblin sitting behind the desk.
Severus nodded. "Yes, you'd be assuming correct. We're here to meet with Bardook."
"Please sit down for a moment, I'll inform Bardook of your arrival."
The goblin motioned with his hand to a couch opposite his desk.
The two of them went over there to sit down, while the goblin went through a door next to his desk. After a few moments, he came back and motioned the two waiting to follow him.
Behind the door they went through was an office quite similar to Frambooks.
The goblin behind the desk stood up to greet them. "Good day, misters Potter and Snape. Please, take a seat."
They took a seat on the other side from Bardooks desk in a set of comfortable chairs.
"Vice director Frambook has informed me of some of your problems already, but I assume, you took some time to think and came up with quite some stuff for me to take care of and look after."
"Yes, you'd be right to assume this. We made a list with everything, we'd like your help with writen down on it."
Severus pulled the roll of parchent out of his robe pocket and handed it over the desk to the goblin lawyer, who took it, opened it and read it through carefully.
"When vice director Frambook informed me about the witholding of your parents' will, mister Potter, I checked with the Ministry of Magic, that the guardian ship of mister Severus Snape is official and could only be removed, if you yourself, since you're already fifeteen years old, are against it and could present someone more suited for the job. But I think I'm right to assume, that isn't necessary, since you're both here together and there isn't any sign of animosity between the two of you."
The two nodded towards the lawyer. "You're assuming right. I am perfectly good with Severus being my godfather and taking care of me. I'm just sad, that it needed the death of my other godfather, Sirius Black, and the attempted theft of everything he left me for us to actually get to know each other. Majorly to blame for us not getting along together at all would also be to blame on our dearest headmaster, who told my godfather lies about me before I even started school and ordering him to be especially nasty towards myself, so I wouldn't get to think that fame would be everything. But thanks Merlin, a copy of my parents' will was enough for him to actually trying to get to know the real me."
Harry smiled at his potions professor.
"Wait, you're telling me, that the headmaster of Hogwarts actually ordered a teacher to treat a student like worthless scum?"
"Yes, that he did." sneered Severus. "And that's not all. He left a fifeteen month old baby with nothing more that a thin babyblanket wrapped around him, and a letter telling about his parents' death on a doorstep in the middle of the night in november. Even though, he knew, that the muggle family hated magic and the baby had a godfather he knew about, who was perfectly capable of taking care of the little boy. but instead, he took the baby out of the griefing godfather's arms and gave him to Hagrid, who then brought him to the Dursley's house, where they left him. In an abusive household! And the topping of everything is, that Albus Dumbledore sent Black to Azkaban for something he didn't do, without a trial or even a testing of the auror's wand."
"Yes, I saw it on your list, that you'd like for Sirius Black to be cleared, even though he isn't among us living anymore. He deserves to be honoured for what he did during his life, be it during his work as auror or later on after his escape from prison."
"What exactly do you mean that he would be honoured for what he did?", Harry asked the goblin.
"Well, if an auror dies in service to the Wizarding world, be it in active duty or in his own time, the closest relation gets an award with the deceased's name and everything he did during his service. It's really inexcusable, that you, as a son of an auror and the heir to more than one old pureblood families don't know this. It would have been your magical guardian's duty to teach your everything you have to know to be prepared to your future as lord of many families from your early childhood on, since the political meddling actually starts when an heir enters school at eleven. And it's actually a crime if a guardian doesn't teach his charge. Who knows whom you all might have offended by your behaviour. To minimize all offences to other heirs you unknowingly did, I'd offer to write every heir, who attended Hogwarts during your years there, a letter with your official apology and explain, as your lawyer, why you acted the way you did. Would that be to your liking?"
Harry's expression changed from shocked to reliefed by Bardook's offer. "Thank you. I'd very much like it if you'd write those letters. Who knows, whom all I actually offended. I don't even want to think about how my school life so far would have been different, had I know about this stuff. And you won't have to write a letter to Draco Malfoy, since I already wrote to him, with Severus' help, and we'll explain everything to him and his family ourselves."
"Good. Back to Sirius Black; I'll contact the DMLE and ask for a wand checking, since they need to have every criminal's wand stored for twenty-five years minimum. And I'll keep you informed on how it'll be going.
As to one Albus Dumbledore, I'll press charges against him for witholding the will of James and Lily Potter, for ignoring the content of said will, for child abduction, since he took you from your godfather and placed you with those muggles, for abbuse on two cases, since he let Sirius Black be imprisoned without a trial, which would have been his right, especially with him being an auror, and he put you with your magic hating relatives. Then there are various cases of theft, whereas the money was partially used to pay your relations to abbuse you, which will also be another charge against him, and there are all the spells and potions he used on you to surpress your magic and your magical abilities, and all those compulsions, be they to influence yourself or others around you. And I'll check with some of the other lords, if they know of him using more than just his one seat, claiming to be your proxy. If he did, I'll demand a protocoll about all the Wizengamot sessions since your parents' death. And once the trial of Albus Dumbledore is over and he is sentenced guilty of the abuse of his position as your proxy, we can demand that all the votings will be repeated, if you aren't okay with the way he voted in your stead.
And, of course, I'll also press charges against Albus Dumbledore and Ginevra Weasley for forging of documents, since they wrote a letter, prettending to be you, impersonating as someone else, since they're neither your surrogate grandfather nor your fiancé, and attempted theft of an inheritance. Albus Dumbledore's interfering with your post will be looked in as well, because even as your magical guardian, he didn't have the right to withold your post from you, be it regular statements about your vaults or just plain fanmail. And on top of everything, I'll also press charges on him for abusing his position as headmaster of Hogwarts to order a teacher to almost abuse a student.
Would that then be all, misters Potter and Snape, or is there something else I missed so far?"
"No, that would be all, so far. But we'll look into all of my acqaintances to see, if anybody else was involved, namely the rest of the Weasley family and Hermione Granger, since they are the ones that were closest to me by the start of the summer. And before we came here, I also wrote a letter to Remus Lupin, who was a very close friends to my parents as well. It could be, that we'll contact you as well on his behalf, if Dumbledore did anything to him to prevent him from contacting me. If so, he probably threatened poor Remus to expose his status as a werewolf to the whole Wizarding world or something as bad as that, if not worse."
"Of course that would be okay if you contact me on his behalf. And especially if he was close to your parents and your late godfather, with him being a werewolf, his wolf probably sees you as a part of his pack, if not even as his cub, in which case witholding him from contacting you would be another case of abduction since you being his cub would make you inofficially his family.
And if anyone else shows to be involved in the betrayal of yourself or at least knew of it and didn't have a reason to not come forth, like being black mailed or threated would be, inform me of their names and their missdeed as soon as you find out, so we can press charges to them as well and hopefully remove them from your proximity."
"Thank you, Bardook. That would be all for today. If you need anything else from us, feel free to contact me anytime and I'll make sure, that my godson will be informed as soon as possible.
And we'll inform you as well as soon as we have some news regarding betraying people or threatened and blackmailed persons.
Now, would it be possible to arrange for us to be brought down to the Potter vaults, so we can retrieve some important books and, eventual, some other things as well?"
"That's fine by me, mister Snape. It will probably take until the end of July for the goblin trial to start, but I'll keep you updated until then on all my progress.
And for your vault visit, I'll write a short note for you to give to my secretary just outside, so he'll lead you down himself."
"Thank you, Bardook. For everything. And good bye." Harry shacked the goblin's hand, as did Severus.
Then they took the offered note, went outside and let the goblin lead them down to the Potter family vaults.
