"I’m very certain. Harry, I know you’ll tell me that it’s not the case, and you might even be correct, but I do still feel horribly responsible for what happened to James and Lily. Beyond that though, I’d give everything I can for you to live a good life, because I know that James and Lily would have done the same for my child if the situation was reversed. You being my heir won’t make a big deal out of anything until I’m either dead or infirm, at that point I’d want you to have it all anyway. If I manage to actually have a kid, we’ll have a talk about getting everything moved over to them, but until that point, I’d want it to be yours." Sirius said, a smile on his face. "Besides, since Andy’s the oldest black sister, and you’re her son, there’s already a decent case for you to be able to claim the inheritance anyway, given you have the blood in you, as well as a direct family connection. You and that Malfoy boy are the ones with the highest ability to claim it, and all I’m doing is making sure you are at the top of the list for certain."

Harry smiled a bit. A lot of this was over his head, and he’d certainly have to have Parvati and Daphne give him a crash course in all of this. Hopefully they’d be able to make it easy to understand for him. A project for when school starts perhaps.

"Oh! Almost forgot. I got those tickets you wanted for the Quidditch World Cup. I didn’t think you were that into the sport though." Sirius said.

"I’m not really, but Nymphadora is, and she desperately wanted to go. Several other of my Sphinx Club friends will be there as well. I like Quidditch, just not as much as those guys do. It’ll be cool to see the finals in person." Harry said, smiling.

"Fair enough then. I was going to skip out on it, but I’m glad I don’t have to! It’ll be great to see a game in person again." Sirius said, as the doors to the conference room opened.

A goblin walked through the door, identified by his name tag as Hookclaw. He was tall for a goblin, making his way to be nearly five feet tall, which was a head over most goblins. He made his way over to the table, where he set his briefcase down and climbed into the chair. "Good evening Mr. Black, I take it this is Mr. Potter?"

"Yes it is, Harry, please allow me to introduce you to Hookclaw, he is the primary account manager for the Black family, as well as our goto Goblin for anything we need with Gringotts." Sirius said.

"A pleasure to meet you then Mr. Hookclaw." Harry said, reaching out to shake the goblin’s hand. Hookclaw looked at the outstretched hand oddly for a moment, but then took it into his own and shook it. The goblin’s skin was rough, though not calloused. It reminded Harry of old shoe leather.

"A pleasure to meet you then as well Mr. Potter. As it stands, I believe we should get down to business, as you humans tend to say: ’Time is Money’." Hookclaw said, as he opened his briefcase. "It is to my understanding that you wish to add Mr. Potter as the primary Black heir, is this correct Mr. Black?"

"That is the case, Harry is my godson, and should something happen to me, I would prefer that he receive the family estate, rather than it falling into someone else’s hands." Sirius said, his tone more formal than Harry had heard him before. It seems even Sirius could be serious when the need arose.

"As I’m sure you are aware, the Black family heir must be of Black descent. Does Mr. Potter fulfill these conditions?" Hookclaw asked, bringing forth a small quillpen and a piece of paper.

"His grandmother was Dorea Black, one would imagine that should be sufficient." Sirius said, nodding to Harry.

"One would, I will require a small blood sample to validate this claim however. Mr. Potter, would you please provide a small blood sample? Here is a blade, as well as an alcohol cloth. A small drop will do, and then we can heal it back up quickly." Hookclaw said.

Harry looked over to Sirius who nodded, before taking up the knife and rubbing it down with the alcohol cloth. Harry also took a moment to rub the cloth on his finger, before poking it a small amount. A drop of sanguine liquid began to form on the tip of Harry’s finger, as Hookclaw directed it towards the parchment he had brought out.

"Mr. Potter’s lineage is proven satisfactory. I will finish the paperwork required for his heirship as soon as possible. I would expect to receive confirmation with the ministry within the month, assuming there is not some backlog." Hookclaw said, as he took Harry’s hand in his and mumbled a short incantation, closing the small wound.

"That’s wonderful. You have also received the message about Harry taking on the role of head of the house of Potter?" Sirius asked, as Hookclaw nodded.

"Yes, I have those documents with me as well. I am, of course, not the manager of the Potter accounts, and as such cannot provide any insights into their activities. I have however received permission from the current account manager Nagnok to begin the process today. Mr. Potter, I would expect you to receive some correspondence from him shortly in regards to the state of the Potter accounts." Hookclaw said, as he pulled out another sheet of paper. "I’ll need your signature here. This form states that you are requesting to be acknowledged as the new Head of House Potter, in lieu of a previous head appointing you due to death or other outstanding circumstances. This also states that you agree to the necessary blood testing that may or may not be required by the ministry or Gringotts to validate that claim, and that knowingly attempting to claim said status without proper reason will result in punishment according to Ministry and Gringotts standards. You thankfully have no reason to worry about that last part, though you still need to sign it. Having done the test on you just now, I can confirm your Potter heritage, which means that even if for some reason you wouldn’t qualify to be the Head of House Potter, you would suffer no penalty for requesting the position."
