"It has the seal, Harry, they have it all." Sirius remarked and pointed to an odd mark on the bottom of the scroll. "That seal was part of the last Treaty with the Goblins. When they gained full control over the Bank they had to enter into a Magical Contract with the Ministry. It was to keep both sides honest. If they'd left so much as a Knut or even a scrap of cloth behind that belonged to the Potter Family the seal wouldn't have formed." He explained as he rolled the scroll back up.
"Then our deal is done." Harry stated as he let go of the Sword of Gryffindor. Ragnok carefully picked up the sword and moved away from the Wizards. The sword briefly glowed a dark, putrid green before Ragnok smiled a fanged grin.
"Our deal is done." Ragnok agreed. "Potter, you are never to set foot inside of Gringotts again. If you do so you'll be treated as an invader and killed. Now take your trunk and get out of my Halls!" Harry and Sirius stood up and took hold of the trunk before heading towards the door.
"Gladly." Harry tossed back over his shoulder as he and Sirius were escorted from the Bank. Once they were in Diagon Alley again they quickly made their way to the Apparation point off to the side of Slug and Jigger's Apothecary. Sirius side along Apparated Harry and the trunk back to Wood End Cottage. When the duo arrived they both burst into laughter.
"I can't believe you pulled it off, Harry!" Sirius laughed loudly as they collapsed onto the grass in the backyard. "You're certain you can get the Sword back too?"
"That's what the Sorting Hat told me!" Harry chortled as he patted the trunk containing all of the Potter Family's wealth and possessions. "I'm just glad to have everything out of the Goblins' greedy claws."
"Well let's get this all inside and start going through it!" Sirius smiled at his Godson as he levitated the trunk inside. Harry agreed happily as he was eager to find out what was in the Potter Family Vault since he first heard of it.
-September 1st ~ Hogwarts Express-
What turned out to be inside the trunk, aside from money, was mostly old clothing and wands of his ancestors. There were also a few trinkets such as fine china and silverware and even a decent amount of books. Harry was more than happy to spend quite a bit of his last few days of summer looking through it all. But now he was on the Hogwarts Express on his way to his Third Year.
"Harry? You seem to be lost in thought, are you alright?" Penny asked as she sat across from him. The train was set to depart in just a few more minutes. Harry smiled at Penny before he got a mischievous thought and decided to tease her a little.
"I'm fine Penny. I was just thinking about my birthday." Harry innocently remarked. As expected Penny's cheeks turned pink and she looked away from him. "You three looked nice in those swimsuits." Indeed, Tonks had gotten up to her own brand of mischief for Harry's birthday. The Metamorph had gotten Fleur and Penny in on it too, though Penny hadn't known the full extent of Tonks' plan. So it came to be that Harry, poolside at the Delacour Chateau, had gotten to see Tonks, Penny, and Fleur in bikinis. Tonks had grinned before, with a snap of her fingers, the bikinis had become much less 'covering'.
"Those were not swimsuits!" Penny practically hid behind her hands in embarrassment. "Lingerie covers more than those 'bikinis' did when Tonks was done!" Considering the fact that said swimwear had suddenly become mostly strings. They barely had enough cloth to cover what needed to be covered and Harry had gotten quite the eyeful. Oddly enough Fleur hadn't seemed bothered by it at all. She and Tonks had even posed a bit for the teen with teasing grins and smiles. Penny had shown off her 'assets' by turning around while also trying to cover herself. Harry had politely covered his eyes until Penny calmed down.
"I don't think I could have asked for a better gift though." Harry teased lightly. Especially since Penny, Tonks, and Fleur were all very lovely young ladies. Fleur would be considered 'perfect' by most men. Pretty face with deep blue eyes, blemish free skin with a light tan from the summer sun, long flowing platinum blonde hair, her large breasts that had barely been covered in the slightest by the transfigured bikini, her thin waist and flat stomach, the wide hips and long, smooth legs. Veela were known for their physical beauty and Harry had gotten an up close view of Fleur in 'almost' all her glory.
"Shush you!" Penny huffed as she flicked a ball of mana at him. Harry chuckled as it 'popped' against his forehead.
"Alright, alright, I'm sorry." Harry apologized for his teasing. "You did look very beautiful though, Penny. You're a lovely girl after all."
"Flattery will get you nowhere, Mister." Penny grinned at him softly.
"Aww that's too bad." Harry playfully huffed and Penny rolled her eyes at him.
The two were joined by Luna shortly before the train began to move. Hermione, Padma, and Mandy came by to chat for a while during the trip too. All in all it was a regular train ride to Hogwarts. The only 'bad' part of the trip was when Penny had to leave for almost two hours for Head Girl duties. Penny had been so happy to be made Head Girl. Harry, Tonks, and even Fleur had congratulated the blonde on her achievement. When Penny came back she sat beside Harry instead of across from him. Luna had smiled at the sight for some reason, but Harry was too happy to have Penny back to care much. They'd spent the last of the train ride leaning against each other happily.
