Chapter Text
"Potter"
Harry slowed his walking but didn't turn around, figuring it was someone wanting to condemn him for Cedrics death again, thanking Merlin the term was over and he would be leaving tomorrow. Not that he was looking forward to going back to the dursleys but at least he would be away from the other students. Speaking of, there it goes again
"Pssst potter"
"Potter!!"
"WHAT?" Harry turned towards the female who had been trying to get his attention, "Parkinson!" What do you want? He looked at the girl expectantly waiting for the number of insults he was sure she had ready for him.
"We need to talk" she glanced around, "In here" she tilted her head at the abandoned classroom and quickly ducked in, Harry intregued though wary followed behind her, wand out ready to be attacked.
"Lucky for me you Gryffs are so brave and stupid," sneered Parkinson.
Harry turned to leave but Pansy quick as a whip shot a locking charm at the door and said "Wait Potter, what i have to say wont take long and then you can get back to your little blood traitor and mudblood fan club.
Harry turned looked at Parkinson and raised an eyebrow at her as if to say "well go ahead."
"Have you been to Gringotts potter?"
"Of course i have everyone has."
"Right well that answers that question guess draco was right..." Pansy muttered almost to herself, looking strangely upset.
"Why would you want to know that"
"It doesnt matter now does it Potter, you made your choice"
"What choice? What are you even talking about? "I went to Gringotts when i went shopping before first year. I would think everyone would have made that choice!" Harry exlaimed confused.
Parkinson stopped mid storm out and turned to look at harry.
"And the times before and after that?"
I didnt know i was a wizard before that, Mrs. Weasley has got my school supplies every year since then so i haven't needed to go again."
Pansys' eyes widened slightly before narrowing, "Have you spoken to the goblins? Privately i mean" she said," Do you have your vault key? Please dont tell me you left it in the hands of a Weasley?
"Oh god Draco was wrong, you have no idea about anything Potter do you."
"What are you talkng about parkinson."
Listen to me potter and listen carefully, I will say this once and only once. You need to go to Gringotts, by yourself you hear me? Alone! You need to ask to speak to the goblin in charge of the Potter vaults. If you dont have your key they will likely take your blood to make sure you are who you say you are. Be polite but not over friendly, treat them as your equal, not like they are below you that will get you no where. Make sure you ask for an inhertience test and statements of your accounts They will tell you everything you need to know about yourself, your family and our world. You dont have to like me Potter but right now, just this once i need you to trust me. After Gringotts if you have any questions or, whatever just owl me. Dont ask your Granger, she wont know anything about any of this. And with that she turned and walked out leaving Harry at a complete loss of just what in the name of Merlin was going on.
Harry spent the rest of the day thinking on what Parkinson had said, he skipped dinner decideding instead to say goodbye to the castle. He was so deep in thought that at first he didnt notice the small Sprite looking girl in front of him staring up at a pair of shoes suspended in mid air.
She had her back to him when a small musical voice said "Hello Harry Potter" he stopped in his tracks, how did she know it was him?
"Err hi? Sorry i dont know your name?" He questioned, she slowly turned to him a soft serene smile lighting her elvin features.
"Don't be sorry Harry you had no reason to know who i was before now" she looked away again up at the shoes. Harry stood confused and slightly amused before walking up to the girl and looking down at her, she was slightly smaller then him he realised gratefully.
"Well what is your name then?" he asked softly "Are they your shoes" he added after a moments silence.
The girl looked back at him and smiled, "They where my shoes, if they return to me i guess they will be mine again.... She's right you know"
"What? Whose right?"
"Miss parkinson. You should go to Gringotts and you should trust her. A lot of things are not what they seem Harry Potter and Pansy Parkinson is one of them" with that she started to walk off.
"Wait" Harry cried out "How do you know what she sad? How do you know that I shoud trust her an"
"Harry! There you are" interupted a breathless Hermoine, "I have been looking for you everywhere! What are you doing with Looney Lovegood?"
"Looney?" Harry questioned
"Luna" the blonde corrected "My name is Luna Lovegood," she smiled "It was nice to meet you, Harry Potter be careful of the Nargles".
With that she wandered off leaving behind a still confused Harry and an annoyed and a little bit embarrassed Hermione. "Well anyway" Hermione said brushing off her embarrasment and turning to harry "You missed dinner Harry and you have to finish packing for the train. "Come on lets go" she demanded pulling him off towards Gryffindor tower "Looney?" Harry questioned her, following but pulling his arm back.
"She is strange, I mean what was that about Nargles? Seriously Harry the girl wasn't even wearing shoes! And"
"And what Hermoine?" Harry questioned, interupting what was sure to be a long speil that he probably didn't want to hear "We are all strange in some ways, there is no need to be cruel!"
"Really Harry!" Hermoine huffed, and with that the walk back to the tower was silent.
