Ch. 4 The Potter Family Vault

Ruby continued to stare at the ring that Harry put on her finger. She noticed the band was a rose-gold color, the jewel was a ruby, and the design reminded her of a Rose.

" This ring is so pretty." She smiled.

Harry looked at Ruby and smiled.

" It's pretty because you are the one wearing it," He says.

Ruby giggled.

" Are you ready to visit your Valuts?" Griphook asked, grabbing the two children's attention.

"Vaults?" Harry and Ruby asked.

Griphook nodded, remembering they were children despite unknowingly getting married in the Wizarding World.

" Bank Accounts in a sense. Your Wizarding Families left you two so much money that you and your future families don't have to work for a very long time," He says.

Harry and Ruby looked at one another.

" That means we can get our school supplies using the money our families left us," Ruby smiled.

" You can also get all those beautiful clothing you dreamed of wearing," Harry smiled, remembering that Ruby dreamed of wearing clothing similar to that of a Princess.

Ruby gasped, looking at Harry in awe. She began to imagine wearing beautiful clothing fit for a Princess.

" I can even get myself a crown," She whispered, clapping her hands excitedly.

" There must be one in one of my Vaults," Harry whispered. " I can give it to you since you are under my protection after all," He reminded her.

" Okay!" Ruby nodded, excited to finally become the Princess she had always dreamed of being. When she was younger, she remembered her stepsister wearing something similar, with a beautiful crown on her head. However, her stepfather told her that she could never become a Princess because she was a demonic child.

" We would like to visit our Vaults," Harry says, turning to look at Griphook.

Griphook nodded.

' Who would have thought my day would be spent tending to the Wizarding World Savior and his now-current wife? ' He internally says.

" Follow me," He gets up and walks towards the door. He opened it and watched Harry and Ruby leave his office. He takes off the sign on his door knob, walks out, and closes the door.

Ruby grabs Harry's hand and swings their joined hands happily. Ruby closed her eyes and started to hum a melody. She walks with Harry and follows Griphook to the mines.

Harry looked at Ruby and smiled, glad that she was happy. He liked seeing her with a smile instead of tears falling from her eyes.

Griphook gets inside a minecart and helps Ruby and Harry get inside. He turns it on and starts to drive through various Vaults.

Ruby and Harry looked at their surroundings in awe, seeing various Vaults. They figured that the caves in Gringotts were so deep because the Wizarding World had so many families.

" Which Vaults should we visit first?" Griphook asked, as the two children had a lot of Vaults altogether due to recently getting married.

Harry and Ruby looked at one another.

" We can visit your Family's Vault, Harry. The Potter Vault," Ruby says.

" Okay," Harry nodded.

" Potter Family Vault, it is them," Griphook nodded.

The mine cart arrived at its destination several minutes later. Griphook got out first and helped Ruby get out, with Harry following behind her.

Griphook stood by a Grand door with the Potter Family Symbol. He turns and faces Harry and Ruby.

" You two place your hands on the Vault so that it can recognize you two as part of the Potter Family," He says.

Harry and Ruby nodded, putting their hands on the door. Their eyes blinked when they saw one of the rings glow, and they figured it was the Potter Family rings they had on, letting the Vault know who they were.

" Welcome, Lord Harry James Potter and Lady Ruby Rose-Potter," the Vault greeted. It opened and revealed a massive chamber filled with money, jewels, clothing, treasures, etc.

Harry and Ruby entered the Vault and looked at their surroundings in awe.

" Okay. Let me explain to you about Wizarding currency," Griphook enters the Vault, causing Harry and Ruby to look at him.

" The primary currency in the wizarding world is based on a system of three coins: Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts. Galleons are the largest denomination, followed by Sickles and then Knuts. There are 17 Sickles in a Galleon and 29 Knuts in a Sickle," He explained while showing Harry and Ruby the respective coins.

Harry and Ruby nodded, realizing that Galleons have a lot of value because they are gold coins since Sickles are silver coins, and Knuts are bronze coins.

" Galleons are the most valuable and are used for larger purchases, while Sickles and Knuts are used for smaller transactions. For instance, a Butterbeer might cost a few Sickles, while a wand could cost several Galleons." Griphook looks at Harry and Ruby.

" Okay. Thank you for letting us know," Ruby smiled while Harry nodded.

" Here is a bag where you can fill it up with money," Griphook hands Harry and Ruby a black bag.

" It's charmed, so you can put as much money as you want in there," Griphook points to the black bags. " You two can always come back to this Vault or the other ones to fill that bag," He says.

" Thank you," Ruby and Harry nodded.

" Ruby, I can fill up our bags while you look around. I did see some beautiful clothes over there," Harry says, pointing to a door with beautiful dresses, shoes, and accessories inside.

" Okay!" Ruby nodded, getting excited. She hands her black bag to Harry and happily skips to the room.

Harry amusingly chuckled, watching Ruby skip to the room with fondness. He turns to face Griphook and looks at him with a stern gaze.

" Is there a way to charm these bags so they can return to us if they get stolen?" He asked.

" Yes," Griphook nodded, snapping his fingers as the two black bags glowed. "I'm Finished. That will be five Galleons," he said. (AN: Five galleons = 24 Pounds = $30.33)

Harry nodded, giving Griphook five Galleons.

" Also, now that you are the Head of the Potter Family. You should know that someone has been using your Family's money irresponsibly. I can have those individuals give your money back," Griphook says.

Harry's glasses shined, and he felt angry that someone would take money from his Family's Vault without permission.

" Who has been taking money from this Vault?" He asked.

" A Wizard named Albus Dumbledore appointed himself your Magical Guardian. I can give you a copy of the transaction if you like," Griphook says.

" How much to have him kicked out as my Magical Guardian?" Harry asked, annoyed.

" Fifty Galleons," Griphook responded. (AN: Fifty Galleons = 248 Pounds = $313.41 dollars)

Harry nodded, giving Griphook fifty Galleons.

" It will take a few hours for my colleagues to finish everything," Griphook says.

" Thank you," Harry says, and he starts to fill up his and Ruby's bags with money.

" Harry!" Ruby calls out, grabbing Harry's attention.

" Yes?" Harry calls out.

" How do I look?" Ruby asked, and she walked out of the room.

Harry held his breath when he saw Ruby wearing a beautiful mint green dress with sparkles that reminded him of stars.

Ruby started twirling, which caused Harry to catch a glimpse of her black formal sandals, which showed off her painted toenails.

" That room is so cool! I told it what I wanted to wear, and it put this on for me," Ruby smiled.

" You look beautiful, Ruby," Harry smiled, his demeanor changing from anger to peace.

" But you forgot your crown," He said, approaching Ruby and pointing, noticing that Ruby's head was missing a crown.

" I decided to wear this cute bow," Ruby points to the bow on her head. " I was worried someone would say that I am unfit to wear a crown," She plays with her fingers, getting shy.

Harry gently touched Ruby's face, causing her to look at him.

" You have the purest soul I have ever met. You deserve to wear a crown. And if someone dares to say something about it, they will answer to me," He says, gently placing his forehead against hers.

Ruby's sapphire blue eyes intently stared at Harry's emerald green eyes.

Griphook intently stares at the two and decides to stay on Harry's good side by being good to Ruby.

" Now, show me the room and tell me which crown you want," Harry said, reaching out his arm to Ruby.

" Okay!" Ruby hugs Harry's arm and guides him to the room.

' The Wizarding World is going to be in a shock when they learn that their precious Wizarding Savior is on a leash and that a lovely young Lady is holding that leash,' Griphook internally says.

A few minutes later, Ruby leaves the room with a beautiful crown on her head.

" Harry should be out in a bit," Ruby looks at Griphook. " He is looking for something to wear. He said he wanted to wear something that lets everyone know not to mess with him," She smiles.

Footsteps approaching the two grabbed their attention. Ruby and Griphook looked to see Harry dressed in all black.

" How do I look?" Harry asked.

" I like it! The black brings out the emerald greens in your eyes," Ruby complimented.

" I'm glad. Are you ready to leave and get our school supplies?" Harry asked, holding his gloved hand to Ruby.

" Yes!" Ruby placed her hand on Harry's and walked out of the Potter Family Vault with Griphook behind them.
