item crafted for another by commission has the recipient's crest or mark put on it. We of course have plenty of items that are not made by order but they are not as carefully made or are made by other clans. The ones that made these," he gestured to the items on the table, "will never sell something without marking it for the recipient. They will occasionally make something that was not a direct order, but when the sale is made, will etch or inscribe the mark. Items made for general sale have a different mark upon them and these lack them."

"So they were stolen," Harry concluded.

"Yes," Doran said darkly. "Even if they were purchased legitimately through other ways, it was obtained illegitimately." He gave Harry a look. "And the Ministry is returning these to us?"

"Yes," Harry said. "We have the records of them and if we need them again for an investigation, we can come and ask you to let us examine them again. Frankly we have a lot of other things too if need be, but in the continued interests of mutual cooperation, we are happy to return these to their rightful owners."

Doran smiled toothily. "Thank you, Captain Potter, for the return of our goods. It is greatly appreciated."

"And in the interest of transparency, we found some items that belong to the relieved families and I am returning some of them to them," Harry said.

"Very well, and again, your transparency is appreciated," Doran said. "I do not suppose you can share where or how the smugglers obtained these?"

"Still working on that," Harry said. "I'll let you know what I know and what I can when I can."

"Thank you." Doran carefully put the items in special boxes that the guards brought and watched them leave with them. "I trust the operation was a success and no harm befell you and your compatriots?"

"It was, thank you, and just a few light injuries. We think we managed to catch one of the higher ups in the ring."

"Very good," Doran smiled. "It would be very difficult to work with another after you have learned how to work with us."

Harry grinned back, raising his bottle in toast.

"What was the major smuggled product, if I may ask? You made it sound that the goblin items were an undiscovered vein in the stone."

"We heard a tip that this group was responsible for a large amount of Slow-Go, the drug that's all over the place right now," Harry said.

Doran frowned. "I wish you all the best. Not even Gringotts has been immune to that."

"People in the bank have been under the influence of it?" Harry asked, surprised.

"Yes," Doran said shortly. "Human and goblin employees. A very ugly thing, that." He looked up at Harry. "I will speak with the Director about providing you with what information we have gathered about its use and prevalence here."

"I'd really appreciate that," Harry said sincerely. "Thank you."

"Of course. I will do what I can when I can," he said and smiled at Harry's chuckle. "Well, I now have a lot more to do with re-examining and cataloging these items, which I am not complaining about at all of course. Is there anything else I can do for you, Captain?"....
