My Works in the Multiverse (SIAU)

Chapter 28: 28. Preparing for the last task (III)



I had barely finished my words when the magic around me began to change, without any better explanation. A red and green aura circulated through my body, as if trying to verify something, until it merged directly with me.

A wooden box appeared on Eyred's desk, followed by the second box. They were simple boxes, with a small coat of arms of each family. Without wasting time, Eyred simply touched the lid of the boxes, which, when opened, threw the rings into the air.

They twirled a little and snuggled on the fingers of my left hand. The little finger had the Black ring, and my ring finger had the Potter ring.

"What was that, Harry?" a confused and lost Sirius asked, getting up from his chair, surprised by the events in front of him.

"To sum up the facts, when my name was spat out by the Goblet of Fire, it magically gave me emancipation, since the additional rule of only allowing wizards of legal age was not only in the line created by Dumbledore, but also in the magical contract of the goblet.

Whoever put it there used some kind of very powerful confundus, making the artifact forget a rule or two, such as the age of majority and the number of schools registered. To be quite honest, I am not a champion of Hogwarts, but of a fourth school.

Unfortunately, I can't say which one it is, but we can find out, when a Triwizard Tournament trophy appears at that school, with my name and year on it, if I win the thing." I explain to him calmly. Then I look at Eyred.

"I am collecting the debt from the Lestrange house, they have 24 hours to pay me, or their vaults will become mine at the end of that time. If they are unable to do so, it is not my problem, and according to the law, the minimum term would be 12 hours, but I am giving some extra time, because of their situations.

After payment, or taking of their vaults, I will be expelling Bellatrix Lestrange neé Black, from the family, and reintroducing Andromeda Tonks neé Black, as well as her children and husband if they so desire." I finished my requests.

"It will be done, Lord Black." Eyred had an even more predatory look, and his smile seemed more sinister than usual. "Anything else we can do for you?"

"Of course, if it's not too much to ask, I want a portkey to take me back to the Hogwarts grounds, more specifically to the entrance area of ​​the maze of the last task of the tournament. I know that Goblin magic can pass through the school's infirmaries, thanks to an old agreement.

I am also extending a formal invitation to my account manager, her family and, no less important, the regent of Gringotts, to watch the last task. It will be something unique, and I'm sure it will open your eyes to many things." I give her a smile.

"I say on behalf of Gringotts, that we will accept your invitation, I will do my best to attend such a festivities, and I will bring my husband, I mean, the manager of Gringotts, to enjoy the event," says Eyred.

"Can someone tell me what's going on here?" an irritated and lost Sirius calls our attention, making Eyred and I look at the man and can't contain our laughter.

"Dobby is aware of everything, he will explain." I say, winking at the man. "Dobby." I call, hearing the soft crackle as the little elf stands there, like a soldier, looking at me seriously.

"My friend, I want you and Winky to explain to the Grangers, as well as Sirius and Remus, what is happening. Then take them to my house. And remind Remus that he needs to show up on the day of the task." I place my hand on the elf's shoulder.

"Dobby will do as Master Harry Potter commands." says the little elf, and without waiting for any word, either mine or Sirius's, he disappears, taking the man away.

"I'm coming to check out the vault during the school holidays, Lady Eyred." I smile at the old goblin, who waves me off as if to send me away from her office.

After leaving the bank, I manipulate the space around me a little, keeping myself invisible to the eyes of others, and open a slit in the air, giving me access to the Chamber of Secrets. After passing through, I return things to normal, change my clothes, and go find Hermione.

The group was, guess what, in the Room of Requirement.

As soon as I entered, I was assaulted by Hermione, who gave me one of her super strong hugs, followed by a loving and deep kiss on the lips. While I was lost in this feeling, a clearing of the throat made us separate, and we see Susan's indignant expression.

"Some of us don't have boyfriends yet to receive affection and affection in public, so please respect our presence." Despite her words, she was clearly trying to hide a smile that was struggling to appear on her lips.

"Sorry, my lovely lady." I bowed in a very elaborate manner, as a gentleman should.

"That's so 1800 of you, Harry." Susan joked. "But seriously, my aunt sent me a reply. She says that, despite the lack of information, she will still attend, even if with little more than 2 or 3 Auror friends of hers.

She also expects a proper explanation, or she will make your life hell." Susan declared, making the same serious expression as her aunt.

"Thank her for me, for the trust shown. And thank each of you, for believing in me. I hope everything works out, and I truly hope that it is just my paranoia, not the sad truth of the facts." I said sincerely to the group.

I then receive a soft tap on the shoulder, to see Neville smiling beside me.

"That's what having friends is all about, Harry. Even when you seem crazy, your friends will still give you credit, and if you're wrong, they'll be there to help you up," he says, with his infinite wisdom.

"Thanks, Nev." I give him a hug. "Now it's time for you to try to take me down, and don't go easy on me," I say, leading him to a separate area.

"Can't they rest for a second?" Hermione's indignant voice comes, but I pretend not to hear.

"Leave them alone, Hermione, it's better than them doing nothing, staring into space, lost without ground," Susan says, taking the girl with her to the group of girls.
