Harry Potter: Ero World

Chapter 10 – Schemes and Heirship! Part-2

{Gringotts, Diagon Alley, London}

{23rd June 1991}

"So can we talk about galleons, I have some shopping to do?" Rigel asked, he wanted to get to the talks about the financial state of House Black.

"Each member of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Black is given access to a vault that siphons 1000 Galleons every year from the main Vault. These are the papers for the start of your vault, you just need to sign at the bottom." Glothyook pushed a parchment of paper in front of him.

The paper was unlike the previous one, although it still 'glowed' to his mana sense, the intensity was a lot less. He read through the paper for the next few minutes before he picked up the quill to sign his name.

...

 '''I, ______________________, hereby acknowledge that I'm a son/daughter of the house black to the best of my knowledge. The money that I will be given is being provided to me by the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Black and will not be used against the interest of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Black.

The Vault no. ______, will remain active until I reach the age of maturity, or pass my NEWTS whichever comes first...'''

...

The contents of the contract were quite simple and for a moment even Rigel was a little confused, this shouldn't be provided by Gringotts as there could be multiple ways to bypass these restrictions. He looked up at Glothyook and asked, "This paper was not provided by the bank right?" 

"No this is a standard contract in place that you need to sign for the vault creation process to begin," Glothyook replied.

Rigel nodded as he read through the contract once more for good measure, after a few moments he began signing the document and he noticed his hand itching slightly.

"Blood quill?" Rigel asked Glothyook with a raised eyebrow.

"All contracts facilitated by Gringotts are signed by the blood quill." Glothyook sneered, "...For someone who claims he doesn't know a lot of things about our world, you recognize an awful lot of things."

Rigel froze for a moment before he slid the parchment back toward Glothyook. They stared into each other's eyes for a moment before Glothyook relented pulled out another contract and gave it to Rigel.

This one was a little more expansive but nothing compared to the pages and pages of legal jargon that... 

'Huh, that memory is now gone...' Rigel frowned at the thought of his memories being manipulated once again but his Gamer's mind allowed him to compartmentalize the process.

...

 '''I, ______________________, hereby acknowledge that I'm a witch/wizard.

1. I will not use Vault no. ______, for any other purpose than storing money that is sanctioned by Gringotts

...

4. I acknowledge to never defraud the Wizarding Bank of Gringotts and its acknowledged currency, the Galleons, the Sickles, and the Knuts.

...

7. I acknowledge to only use of the Wizarding Bank of Gringotts for any form of long-term monetary storage purposes.

...

13. I acknowledge that I would not attempt to physically remove more than 10,000 Galleons from the Gringotts property on a given day.

...'''

'Is this what they demanded in return for the end of the goblin's war, an ironclad grasp on the currency of the wizarding world.' Rigel thought as he frowned at several of the stipulations. This contract not only controlled the wizarding currency that Goblins had almost total control over, but it also prevented all the old pureblood families from ever choosing a different bank.

While the terms were unfair, Rigel didn't really have a choice in this. He would be bound by the same restrictions once he signed this piece of paper, and not signing it wasn't really an option.

'If I want to integrate into the world it isn't really an option. Other than my sense of freedom being restricted, all these terms are just focused on money so the only thing it would really restrict me from doing would be to withdraw large amounts of sum from the bank.' Rigel thought.

"Since I can not move a large amount of sum, how am I supposed to purchase things that cost a lot?" Rigel asked.

"You can sign a payslip that works as a weak contract which the vendor can then deposit to Gringotts and we would move the funds from your vault to theirs," Glothyook replied.

Rigel signed as he signed his name again, his hand once again itched but it wasn't that painful so he ignored the sensation.

"Now what?" Rigel asked.

"Now Griphook will take you to your new vault while I go and meet Master Ragnuk." Glothyook explained, "...a meeting date with an official letter would come to you in the next few days to discuss your heirship for the Most Ancient House of Gaunt."

Glothyook stood up and Rigel followed suit, a new goblin opened the door and entered as he motioned Rigel to follow him. 

'So a roller coaster ride?'

A couple of dangerously safe roller coaster rides later Rigel walked back through the hallways of Gringotts. He was 100 Galleons heavier which according to Griphook should be more than enough for him to complete his shopping trips. Another feature that he had discovered was the presence of Inventory. It wasn't as large as the original gamer system but a 100-slot grid was enough for him to store the essentials. 

He had placed his newly acquired key in there, and the bag of money he was carrying with him, was attached to his right belt.

"Right outside those gates is the main hall..." Griphook grunted before he stopped and walked back. Rigel looked at the young goblin who was mumbling in his own language once again.

'I need to learn at least the basics of Goblywooblyduck or whatever their language is called...' Rigel thought as he walked through the door. It was quite easy for him to locate Minerva, what he was surprised by were the two hot women she was conversing with.
