CHAPTER 8
On the next morning, during breakfast, an owl arrived with a letter from Gringotts. It stated, that their appointment with Bardook will take place at 11 am inside the bank and that the portkey will get off at 10.50.
"As it is now around nine o'clock, this leaves us with almost two hours to get dressed and think about what all we have to look at with your lawyer, Harry. I'd say, we clean up, get upstairs to dress and then sit in the living room and write everything down, so we won't forget it."
They finished their cups of coffee, cleaned everything up and went upstairs. After about twenty minutes, they both were back down, sitting on the couch in the living room with a quill, some ink and an empty parchment on the small table in front of them.
Severus took the quill, pulled the parchment to himself and looked at his godson.
"I think, you should start with what you want him to check and/or do, since you'll have a lot more than I. And I'll add what seems important to me, but you didn't think of or mention. If that's okay with you like that."
Harry nodded.
"I think, that'll be best, as well. The most important thing will be, that Albus Dumbledore and Ginny Weasley pay. And everyone else who betrayed me together with them or knew of the betrayal and didn't do anything against it. I know for one, that Mrs. Weasley is in on everything. And perhaps, it is possible to ask all three of them under Veritaserum who else was involved.
Also, there's the withholding of my parents will, the theft of the money from my trust vault, the spells and potions, Dumbledore used on me. Plus, my shitty childhood, all the abuse I was put trough because of him, starting with him leaving me on a doorstep in the middle of the night after my parents death, with nothing than a thin babyblanket for protection against the cold november night, and he left me there, even though, my godfather was not yet in prison. I'm wondering, if Dumbledore is even behind all the abuse of the Dursleys?"
"I think, that might actually be true. Let's ask Bardook today, if there is a way to question those muggles under Veritaserum about it, okay?"
"Yes. I hope, there's a way to find out. And Frambook also suggested, that he'd check, if Dumbledore perhaps used my seats at the Wizengamot as my proxy, without my approval of his actions.
And I think, he should also check with the ministry, that it's official, that you, as my godfather, are my guardian.
Is there anything else, you can think of right now?"
"The only thing I can think of as well, would be, to try to free Sirius post mortem with the checking of his wand for his last spells, which should be possible, since the wand should still be in the ministry archive, and to support it with memories of Lupin, you and myself about the events of the shack. And if you'd be willing to meet with him, we could actually ask the Dark Lord for Pettigrew. That would actually secure the mutt's clearing of all charges."
"I like the idea of clearing Sirius. But is it okay with you, if I think about meeting with Voldemort until it comes up with Bardook? Because I really can't decide this right now."
"Sure. Just let me know as soon as you decide, so I can arrange everything. But I suppose, you'll have to meet with him one time or another anyway, since it won't get unnoticed by him, that I'm your godfathe and guardian as of now. And it's always better, to have such an appointment on your turns. But it's really up to you."
"And if it's possible, could we ask Bardook, if we also can press charges on Dumbledore, for not asking for a trial for Sirius, but insisting, that he, sadly, couldn't do anything to free him, even though, with him being Chief Warlock, it wouldn't have been difficult at all to get one?"
"We'll check that as well. Is there anything else that comes to your mind, or would you like to think of, what all you want to do in and need from Diagon Alley?"
"I have a question first, before planing our day at Diagon Alley. Are any other animals allowed at Hogwarts than owls, cats and toads? And if yes, which and under which conditions?"
"What animals would you be thinking about?"
"Well, some kind of reptile... like, a snake...?" Harry grinned somewhat sheepishly.
"Starting with third year, a student is allowed any animal, up to the size of a large dog, as long, as he can controll it, feeds it appropriately and it is taken care of perfectly, without polluting the school in any way.
With you being a parselmouth, you're able to controll any snake, especially if it'd be your familiar. And if your future pet turns out to be poisonous, I'd just need a few drops of it's poison to create an antidote. Then there wouldn't be any problem with it at all. Except, of course, other students and some teacher, who'd have a problem with a snake around them." Severus had an evil glint in his eyes, when he thought about the most possible reaction of everyone to a snake as Harry Potter's pet.
"Awesome! So, what I really need from Diagon Alley are some decent robes, dress robes, school robes and also some everyday robes, a snake, some owl treats for Hedwig, whom I'd like to send of with a letter to Malfoy Manor tonight or tomorrow, perhaps you could check it before I send it for proper use of etiquette, some books about everything I have to know as a Lord of a lot of wizarding families, and perhaps, we could make a detour to Knocktourn Alley, so I could look, if I find some books in parseltongue? And I really have to retrieve the books about mages, necromancy and metamorphmagi.
And could you glamour me while we're in the Alleys, so Dumbledore wouldn't get to know about me being with you? Because, if possible, I don't want him to know this before his trial.
Oh, and I want to get my ears pierced! I'll wait with more piercings and the tattoo until later, to be absolutely sure about it, but I wanted to have my ears pierced for years now. And I'd like to lengthen my hair as well, and perhaps make the highlights permanent as well. Or at least somewhat semipermanent, so they'll stay all coloured at least until winter break."
"Maybe some shues and eventual accessoires as well? I'd suggest some dragonhide boots, for example. But otherwise, I think, you listet everything important. And we'll see, if we find anything else.
That I'll check your letter to Draco, is a sure thing. I still can't believe, that Dumbledore neglected his responsibility as far, as you not even knowing of your heritage, but I reckon that he hoped, that with time, he'll find a way into your vaults, or that you die before reaching maturity, so you wouldn't need it at all and also wouldn't get suspicious of anything going on behind your back.
And I really am glad, that you only want to get your ears pierced right now, but think of any other piercings and tattoos once more, before you get them.
Now, we have another half an hour until the portkey goes off. Is there anything special you'd like to do in this timeframe?"
"I think, I'll write a letter to Moony, explaining everything and also informing him of our plan to ask Bardook about freeing Sirius. I'll send it right before we leave, so Hedwig might be back tonight already for Malfoy's letter."
"Good idea. I could as well add a few lines for him as well. I don't think he'd mind, and I have to start somewhere, if I'd want to try to rebuild our friendship from our schooldays. Which I do, especially with you here."
Severus accio-ed some more parchment and another quill and they both started writing.
At ten to eleven, Harry went upstairs to get Hedwig, who was napping on her perch in his room.
Back downstairs, they fixed their letters around Hedwig's leg, send her on her way, grabbed the portkey and got pulled away into a room at Gringotts in front of an office.
Bardook's office.
