June 10,1989 7:30pm, Isle of Man

Three individuals were in an abandoned building on a desolate stretch of coast on the Manx coast. Despite it being summer it was cold and rainy and the wind blew through the house thanks to its lack of doors and windows.

The first individual in the ramshackled farmhouse was a nine year old boy. The second was his eldest brother. The third was a former Death Eater who had been captured and tortured by the pair.

The young boy looked at the Death Eater who was magically bound in front of him. The man was stripped naked, his face and body littered with bruises and cuts. He sneered back at the boy, laughing through a bloody mouth:

"Fuck you looking at you little shit? When I get out of here I'm gonna make you squeal. My friends made you squeal. They said you sounded just like a little pig-"

The man's vile diatribe was cut short as he screamed in pain, the boy's guardian and brother uttering a single word at his captive:

Crucio

The boy watched as the man contorted in agony, trying to break his bonds, trying anything to stop the torturous pain. It looked like he was being torn apart from the inside.

"Last chance, where's the goblin's gold?" Jacob snarled. He momentarily released the curse and the criminal begged instantly:

"Alright I'll tell you. I'll tell you. It's on the pier, in a warehouse marked Building supplies. There's only two guards. Just stop. Please, just stop."

The boy looked dispassionately at the man who was begging for his agony to cease. His brother had taught him not to show emotion. A man must remain stoic at all times. The boy knew if he showed pity for the man his punishment would be pain.

"Alright it's time. You remember the incantation, Y/N?" The boy's brother asked with that tone of his that made it clear it was an order, not a inquiry.

"Yes, Jacob" the boy replied as fear gripped him. He wasn't sure if he could do this.

"Alright, then do it!" Jacob snapped back, his frustration rising with each passing moment. Y/N pointed his wand at the man, hesitating as he spoke:

"Jacob I-"

"Fucking do it!!!" Jacob roared. Y/N pointed his wand again, speaking the incantation:

Avada Kedavra

Green sparks whispered from the end of his wand. They struck the bound man in the chest. His eyes rolled back in his head momentarily before he shook it side to side. He laughed maniacally as blood started leaking out of his nose.

"That's too priceless. Jacob, your little sister doesn't have the scroat for the job"

He laughed harder before Jacob cast langlock on the captive, sticking his tongue to the roof of his mouth. Jacob snarled, walking over to his younger brother who looked up at him with fear. Jacob didn't speak, but greeted the boy with a hard slap across the face. It was given enough force to drop the boy to the floor.

"What did I tell you Y/N? You have to mean it. You have to hate him. To want to kill him. To want him dead!"

"Ja-Jacob I'm sorry I-I- tried" Y/N replied timidly from the floor.

"Trying isn't fucking good enough, Y/N!" Jacob bellowed before suddenly turning calm. He spoke again, but this time calmer:

"I think what you need is inspiration."

Jacob walked up to the tongue-tied bound man and ripped his head back by his hair- tipping a small vial of liquid down his throat. He released the tongue-tie hex as the man shook his head. Jacob smirked:

"Ok let start easy. What's your name?"

"Adoplhus. Adolphus Maxwell".

"Ok Adolphus and what's your blood status?"

"Pure-blood"

"And were you a Death Eater?"

"Yes"

"So what do you think of muggleborns?"

"I hate them."

Y/N knew where this was going. He didn't like it.

"Jacob do-"

"Quiet boy!" Jacob snapped. He turned again to the prisoner.

"You ever heard of the name Penny Haywood?"

"Yes"

"Please Ja-"

Y/N was met with another hard slap across the face from his brother before Jacob again returned to questioning the bound captive.

"So who is she? Penny?"

"She's the mudblood whore who's fucking your brother."

"Shut up!" Y/N yelled at the man.

"No don't shut up. What would you do if you had Penny in this room?"

"I'd fuck the whore stupid and kill her slow. Make her beg the filthy mudb-"

The man's filth was cut off mid-sentence.

Avada Kedavra

Y/N screamed the incantation this time, green sparks shooting from his wand like a bullet from a muggle's gun. They smashed into the bound man's chest, his body jerking and going limp as his now soulless, empty, dead eyes stared at Y/N. Y/N stared straight back, the enormity of what the nine year old boy had just done registering. Y/N began to tremble.

"That's it Y/N. That's the feeling you need" Jacob smiled proudly.

"Remember it. Take five minutes to calm down and then let's go get that Goblin Gold!"

Present Day

Y/N stepped from the Floo network in the Goblin Palace reception room. He looked around at the walls which appeared to be moulded from solid gold. He chuckled to himself, the Goblins were far too gaudy for his tastes.

Two guards stood in front of the exit, sharpened spears longer then they were tall making a cross between them.

"Name and reason for coming to the palace today?" One of the Goblin's asked.

"Y/N L/N. I was summoned by your king."

The guards nodded and stood to the side, clearing a path for the teen.

"His majesty will see you now. Go down the corr-"

"I know the way. Thank you"

Y/N nodded to the guards as he exited the room and walked towards the throne room. As he made it the doors opened in front of him and he heard a courtier call out.

"Mr. Y/N L/N, The Prophesied One, here to visit His and Her Royal Highnesses."

Y/N walked forward into the lavish throne room where the King and Queen were sat high on their thrones, their full regalia on display. Y/N stopped at the bottom of the stairs that lead to the thrones and bowed deeply to the Goblin royals, saying as he did:

"My King, my Queen, I thank you for extending me the honour of visiting you today."

"Well met, Y/N. It is good to see you again. You are much larger than the last time I saw you" the Goblin Queen smiled as she spoke. It was returned by Y/N as he returned pleasantries:

"It has been far too long my Queen, and may I say you look even more ravishing than the last time I visited."

The King chuckled as the Queen smiled again, a faint red hue on her Goblin cheeks as she spoke:

"I have told you in the past flattery will get you nowhere in the Goblin Court, Y/N."

"You have ma'am. But you also have not told me to stop."

The King chuckled at the pair before addressing Y/N:

"Formalities aside your letter intrigued me, Y/N. So you wish to be emancipated? And what was this family business you referred to?"

"Permission to speak freely your highness?" Y/N asked. The King waved a hand and all the courtiers and guards from the Chamber left. When the last guard had closed the large double doors behind him the king smiled:

"Please do"

"I have recently been made aware of the... intricacies of my families inheritance system, your Majesty. At the meeting we were both summoned to, after I suggested you and my dear King Vano leave, things did turn unpleasant as I suspected."

"Go on" the Goblin king urged, a menacing smile forming on his lips.

"I told Albus I would no longer be his lap dog. Words were exchanged and Jacob and Moody stepped to me with their wands drawn."

"No? Were you ok?" the Queen asked concerned for the teenager's safety. It was very, very, very rare for a Goblin to grow to care for a human. When they did though that concern was blood deep.

"I was, my Queen. I quickly despatched both of them in a duel. Following this my other brother Dean challenged me and was left in the same condition.

The king raised an eyebrow, he was one of the very few to know of the secret method the L/N lordship was passed from one generation to the next. He replied:

"So you know what that would mean, Y/N?"

"I believe so my King" Y/N answered, bowing his head. The king smiled:

"I will issue a summons in the morning for you to appear at Gringott's bank tomorrow evening at 6:00pm. That will keep Dumbledore or the Ministry from interfering. I will assign Marruk to be your accounts manager and to oversee the legalities of your emancipation. He is an expert in matters of wizarding law. I trust if you are indeed the Lord you will keep banking with Gringotts?"

There were other wizarding banks in Britain, one run by Hobgoblins in Wales, another by Dwarves deep underneath the earth in Chislehurst, neither though were as well regarded as Gringotts in terms of safety. Y/N smiled:

"I will my king. Our families have shared a long and mutually beneficial partnership and I trust that will long continue."

The Queen sat shocked at the revelation of the boy she had grown to admire becoming the next Lord of House L/N, the Goblin king merely smiled/sneered:

"I thank you for coming and again for the times you have assisted my bank. You are always welcome in our court should you need counsel."

Y/N nodded and thanked the pair, before taking his leave and returning to Hogwarts. The Headmaster was waiting upon his arrival. His face was neutral but Y/N could sense the concern dripping from him as he asked:

"I trust your visit was enjoyable, Y/N?"

Y/N remained straight faced as he replied with a tone of neutrality:

"Yes Albus. Most enlightening. Have a pleasant evening."

Y/N smiled and nodded, leaving the concerned Headmaster none the wiser as to his actions.
