Chapter Text
Griptear Clawington pushed a pile of dusty paperwork towards Harry Potter. “Yes, Mr Potter,” Griptear growled out rudely. “The blood test of Karya Lily Potter does confirm her line to bear markings of all four founders. Gryffindor, Slytherin and Hufflepuff ancestry in the paternal line, and Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Hufflepuff in the maternal line.”
Harry glanced at Daphne, grinning. “Told you she was a descendant of all four,” he boasted, “My vision was correct.”
“This feels suspicious,” Daphne remained unconvinced, peering at the mountain of dust and parchment before them. “I know there’s branches of my family who married into some Gryffindor heavy lineages, too. Don’t you think there would have already been an inheritor for all four if there wasn’t for some trick?”
“No trick,” Griptear hissed out, and dragged his long fingers on the table. “The Founders’ Inheritance remains unclaimed.”
“I think you shouldn't do it without a legislator on retainer,” Daphne cautioned.
“What are the assets?” Harry asked, grinning.
“Four vaults,” Griptear grumbled. “A deed to a plot of land in Scotland. Sign the paperwork if you want more information.”
“What are the debts?” Daphne jumped in.
“I cannot reveal credit information about an account without the express permission of its owners,” Gripear grimaced. “Why do you ask? Do you think the founders were paupers?”
“Not exactly,” Daphne replied. “What are your fees for recovering contents of the old accounts such as these?”
“Fair and precisely calculated to adhere to the peace treaties between our nations,,” Griptear spat out. “I am doing you a favor by even agreeing to meet with you,” he growled angrily. “Will you be signing the agreement or not? You paid only for one consultation, and the time is running out.”
“No,” Daphne said quickly, but she wasn’t fast enough.
“Yes,” Harry had said at the same time.
Daphne sighed. “Your head, Potter.”
“Excellent,” Griptear gripped into the first parchment, tearing it as he slid it towards Harry. “First signature here.”
Half an hour later, Harry was a proud regent for his underage daughter, the owner of the land Hogwarts was built on and an official heir to all of the Founders of Hogwarts.
He was also extremely, irreparably in debt to the Goblin nation.
