Gill scoffed in amusement, “If you’re done venting can we get back to your werewolf lessons? There’s so much about a werewolf’s body I want to show you.” He said cheekily earning an eye roll from Lyall …

Regulus looked heartbroken as he looked at all the owls in the Grimmauld owlery, “So you think she’s-“
Narcissa put a finger to her lips when she heard something downstairs, “I have no doubt that she burnt some letters. Bellatrix saw her burn one this morning.” She whispered to the young wizard once she believed that it was safe to speak.
“Then Sirius was writing to us.” Regulus said, sounding more relieved than sad now.
“Trying to, at least. Bellatrix is going to tell the goblins what happened.” Narcissa whispered as she ushered Regulus out of the room before they were caught.
The young wizard frowned, “If our letters are being read by mother now then how is- …oh.” He said when he remembered the new mark hidden in the dark mark on his arm. Before he could feel silly about forgetting it or guilty about using the Gringotts mark for that he saw Bellatrix getting praised by his mother in the room at the bottom of the stairs.
“You’re making the Black family proud! To think he even entrusted something to you! This is a great honor!” The old witch said gleefully.
“I already locked it away in my vault at Gringotts so it will be safe.” Bellatrix said seriously, but as she walked away from the witch she smirked as she leaned close to Narcissa and Regulus. “Yes, I’m such a good Death Eater.” She said with a wink. “I asked a few questions while dropping off the cup thingy at Gringotts. They do want to keep the marks open for things related to the case, but if you have a letter you don’t want burned, leave it on the window sill under this stone. They gave me an extra for Sirius too.” She whispered as she gave Regulus two flat red stones that were each about the size of a coin.
Regulus grinned and took the stones, “Thank you.” He whispered gratefully. Late that night he wrote a letter. After putting it in the envelope he put the extra stone in the envelope with the letter. He eagerly closed it and left it under his own stone on the sill of his open window as instructed.
Despite being tired he refused to fall asleep until he saw his letter leave. It didn’t take too long for a Gringotts owl to land on the sill. The owl carefully moved the stone off the letter and picked up the letter. It made Regulus so happy to see the bird fly safely away with his letter.

James suddenly stopped marking a big circle on the dirt with a stick and gaped, “So Lucius is going to be with you in our sixth year?” He asked Severus, who was sitting on the steps outside with Remus and Sirius.
The steps weren’t of the Potter manor and they didn’t belong to the main Prince manor either. It was those of an old manor that was up for sale right across from the two properties owned by the families, which were right on the opposite side of the circle. In fact, James seemed to be drawing the circle to mark out an area the three manors shared. It looked like someone was planning to make a shared courtyard for the three homes, but it was just James doodling to distract himself.
“Yes.” Severus said bluntly, but he didn’t offer any more details. He didn’t want to say too much before Lucius even finished his training.
Remus smiled, “It’s good to know you’ll have him to protect you. I feel bad for anyone who tries bother you this year-“
“No one will!” James exclaimed only to blush when he saw a slightly startled Severus staring at him and quickly went back to completing his circular stick doodle. “So, Sirius, what did your brother say about why he didn’t answer your letters?” He asked Sirius without looking up from his dirt doodle. If he did, Severus might see his blushing face.
Sirius, who was sitting on the rail of the steps as he read a very long letter, growled in annoyance, “My mother burned all of our letters. Apparently, Bellatrix helped out and had Gringotts set up a secure mailing system so mother can’t interfere anymore.” Sirius said clearly pissed that his mother would go that far. “I’m out of the house and yet somehow that isn’t enough for her.”
“Thankfully, Gringotts is very helpful and Bellatrix is on top of things!” Remus said quickly not wanting to remind Severus of his own mother issues.
Severus smiled slightly seeing through the ploy, “It’s fine, Remus. We all have problems. At least, mine is locked up.” He commented though he wasn’t sure exactly what happened after Gringotts finished sentencing. Admittedly, he was going through too much to really consider asking the goblins about what happened. The only thing he did know is that Bellatrix had the same deal with Gringotts as Lucius, which might have helped her to set things up.
Sirius snickered, “My mother would deserve that.” He said and seemed to start daydreaming about his mother being locked up. However, he suddenly winced and paled. “Is there even a silencing spell strong enough to keep her quiet?” He whimpered as he thought about his mother’s furious screams.
Remus chuckled sheepishly, “Not sure.” He said and turned around when he heard the door open behind him. “How does everything look?” He asked as Nicholas, Euphemia, Fleamont and Sebastian came out of the manor with a goblin following behind.
Euphemia smiled, “It’s perfect!”
“These three manors will be great for each job we want filled.” Sebastian commented. “I like the idea of connecting the basements to make an area for an emergency floo and a safety flying zone.”
The goblin nodded, “Shall I transfer the title to one of your families?’
Nicholas frowned, “I’m curious about that. Can we put the three manors under both our families’ names?”
“I can file for some joint ownership papers and have that prepared. That would also give me a chance to get a few papers in order for the project you all wish to complete. I can have everything in a few minutes if you wish to wait.”
Nicholas glanced at Severus, who nodded to say he was ok, and smiled, “The weather is very nice today so we’ll wait and get everything signed.” He said and the goblin walked down a step and used a portkey to go away.
“So what were you boys talking about while we were inside?” Fleamont asked as he looked at the teens.
Euphemia chuckled, “Homework, perhaps?”
“I finished.” Remus commented and looked at Sirius and James who both looked nervous. “These two are not.”
“Essays are boring!” Sirius grumbled and James nodded in agreement.
“If you need some help I could help.” Severus offered only to raise an eyebrow when he saw James quickly turn away and the back of James’ neck turn red.
“Umm that’d be great, but would you be ok to do that? You don’t have to if you're not feeling well.” A nervous James said very quickly, almost too fast to be understood, without looking at Severus.
Severus tilted his head slightly, “I’ll be ok.” He said, clearly curious about why James was acting that way, but he couldn’t get a good look at James’ face.
Euphemia pursed her lips to try to not laugh at the adorable actions of her shy son, “I’m sure we can discuss this after we get this business done. Now, Remus, are you ready for tomorrow? Do you want to take anything?”
“I don’t think so … Patty is giving me the entire day off so I get to spend some time with my father before the full moon.” Remus said and took a moment to think. “Gill said he’s bringing a special type of compartmentalized trunk that will be the same type I’ll have at school from now on. I don’t need anything.” Remus said, sounding rather anxious about having his father see him go through a full moon.
James looked at his friend and smiled, “You’ll have two Aurors there to help out. Actually I’m sure we could join after getting out of work. That Gill guy seems cool so he might let us keep you company.” He suggested trying to calm his friend down.
Remus smiled as Sirius and even Severus gave looks that convinced him they’d go in an instant if he asked, “No. This is supposed to be for seeing how my father acts and I’m sure it’d throw him off if there were lots of people there.”
“Alright, but don’t you dare tease us by withholding the investigation details.” Sirius exclaimed cheerily as he draped his arms over Remus’ shoulders.
Nicholas raised an amused eyebrow, “Investigation? … Oh! You mentioned something about this during the tour.” He said as he glanced at the smirking Lady Potter.
Euphemia clapped her hands together clearly pleased, “Yes! Auror Jackson is going to look into the Lily issue. Apparently, it might connect with the horrible events that happened at school so it’s worth looking into even though all she did was send a letter.”
“I hope he clears some things up for everyone.” Sebastian commented secretly hoping a little bit of karma would hit the girl for how she hurt his grandson. Before the conversation could continue a small bell was heard and everyone saw that the very goblin they were waiting had returned, except with the addition of a few documents.
The goblin snapped his claws so the documents would float neatly in the air and stay there despite the breeze, “I apologize for taking so long. Things are rather busy today.”
Nicholas smiled, “it’s quite alright, Barrelblood. We weren’t waiting long. Now where do we need to sign?”

RazorBlood’s eyes narrowed as the large gold Hufflepuff cup was examined by curse breakers, “So this is what was entrusted to Bellatrix. It’s tainted with something very powerful. I expect to know what it is soon.”
“Yes, sir.” The curse breakers said obediently before continuing their work.
The goblin nodded and went down to the dungeon to check on two particular prisoners, “It’s been just under a month. I wonder how they have settled in.” He pondered as he walked up to the large dungeon viewing windows.
Gringotts loves to be both creative and symbolic with the punishments they deliver. The cell RazorBlood was looking into had several small animals like nifflers and two people. Of course, the two people were none other than Tobias and Ellen. Both of whom were chained to a table.
Obviously, everyone would probably stop and wonder what kind of punishment this was supposed to be. Even if the creatures were staying out of petting reach the prisoners were still surrounded by cute fluffy creatures so it couldn’t be too bad. However, that was far from the case. Every single time the prisoners got annoyed or mad or scared the hyperactive creatures they would feel a phantom pain. A pain that matches one of the many injuries that they inflicted on Severus and it would ache for hours like a real wound. If they have more than one phantom pain going too close together then the pains will overlap, which happened a lot with these temperamental idiots.
As a kind gesture the goblins gave Ellen and Tobias a job involving jewelry just to satisfy their greed. That’s why they were chained to the table. A table that was covered in piles of literal dragon shit, which had to be molded into various beads and gem like shapes. If they fell behind or didn’t create an item that’s up to Gringotts standards then they get another very realistic phantom pain.
RazorBlood smirked as the prisoners completely lost their temper when a playful niffler threw a clean toy into the stinky workspace, “It’s precisely because of their unlikeable attitudes that it was too easy to cover up their disappearance in the muggle area they were from.” He snorted when both foul tempered prisoners collapsed in pain as a phantom pain hit them. Judging by how they grabbed their ribs this most recent phantom pain was a broken rib, but they were still suffering from the phantom broken nose and leg.
“RazorBlood. It seems the curse breakers have discovered the problem. They’re waiting for your presence.” A goblin reported after entering the dungeon.
“Let’s not wait a moment longer then.” RazorBlood said as he walked with the other goblin. Once they got back to the room the head curse breaker gave him their report. RazorBlood’s eyes widened slightly in shock before a sneer came to his face. “Send a copy of this to the minister. I have no doubt that he’d want to know.” He ordered the other goblin who did take the report and made a copy for the minister, Jacob Claybet. “How much more information can you get from the horcrux?”
The head curse breaker frowned, “We can easily say that there’s more than this one, but it’s hard to say with only one.”
RazorBlood nodded, “Very well. Thank you. For now this will be stored away.” He said and the curse breakers, who were all protected by vows so this information wouldn’t get out, went home. “I’ll tell our spies to keep an eye out.”

Lucius was doing his training with Mathias when he felt his mark gently heat up. Before he could even consider that the dark lord was summoning him it stopped and a series of words appeared on his sleeve. Thankfully, no one besides him seemed to notice and he quickly read the message before it vanished. He immediately rolled up his sleeve and felt the small Gringotts mark activate.
“My father has a book.” Lucius whispered before quickly rolling his sleeve back down.
This time the words ‘touch your left arm to your head and remember that book’ appeared on his sleeve. Once he pretended to wipe his forearm with his forehead he felt the familiar sensation tugging at the memory. In an instant he knew that the goblins took a copy of the memory just like a pensieve memory.
Of course, Lucius had to get back to training, but he wondered what he’d have to do. A little later he felt the mark heat up again and the words ‘under desk’ appeared on his sleeve. After subtly feeling under the desk and pulling out what he found he knew what he had to do …
