Arcturus nodded, "You have a good head on your shoulders then, you will be sure to find anything and everything in theses shelves, the black library is very extensive.

There is not a branch of magic in the world that we do not have a volume of somewhere in here, though I am sad to say that even with a month of free time you will be hard pressed to learn everything other heirs your age will know, even if you retrieved my time dilation pocket watch from the house vaults, you would be hard pressed for time."

I blinked hearing that and reached into my pocket and took out the pocket watch that grandfather had told me to collect from the vault and held it up to him, "you mean this one?" I asked.

Arcturus blinked when he saw it and laughed, "ha, the very same, an ingenious little device that my own invention, because it works like the time dilation bubbles the goblins can put up.

Those goody two shoes in the ministry couldn't claim it was interfering with time like a time turner, though its effects are somewhat minimal I'll grant you that, but any extra time is always an advantage is it not"

I nodded as I slipped the watch back into my pocket, "it definitely is, but now only one question remains…" I said as I turned to look at all the shelves of books and tombs.

"Where to start?"

It was early in the next morning that Kreacher and I appeared with a pop in a side ally of Diagon Alley. I bent over with my hands on my knees as I took several deep breaths as I waited for my stomach to settle, I don't think I'm ever going to get used to travelling like that.

I looked to Kreacher and nodded my head, "Thank you for bringing me here Kreacher, I may be in need of your services later, be ready." I told him as I straightened myself up.

The old elf nodded to me, "Young master is too kind," he said before popping away as I turned and walked out of the alley into the main alley as I started towards the large building that was Gringotts bank.

After three hours debating with myself the previous night I had come to the conclusion on what needed to be seen too and arranged before someone else to try and pull something that I didn't want

While I would rather the position of my magical guardian remained unfilled the fact of the matter was it couldn't, if it was still not filled by the time I made it to.

Hogwarts then chances were good that I would be saddled with someone who would be under Dumbledore's thumb and I wanted to avoid that at all costs, so the only option left to me was to arrange for my own guardian, but only if they met my criteria.

Walking up the steps of Gringotts I headed directly for the head tellers desk stopping in front of it, and I was internally happy that I had glanced over a couple of books in the Black library on goblins to see what was fact and what wasn't.

I was very happy with what I read, "Greetings Master goblin, may your vaults fill with gold and your enemies fall by your blade." I greeted him, while internally grinning like a child, the greetings along with most of the other stuff that I already knew about the goblins had turned out to be facts

They had been a warrior race and while they still were ferocious warriors that only the foolish would cross, they now tended to channel their warrior spirit into their banking.

Which is why I was treated so well given that house Black was one of the oldest and wealthiest families, my assertion to heir Black had brought the houses gold out of stasis which meant more gold to be made which pleased them greatly.

The head teller looked at me sharply his eyes blinking rapidly at my greeting for a couple of seconds before a toothy grin broke across his face.

"And may your gold pile higher and your enemies blood flow red, young wizard, what business do you have with Gringotts this day." he asked still grinning.

I held up my hand to him as my heir ring appeared on it for a couple of seconds letting him see before it faded from sight as I withdrew my hand.

"I need to speak with my account manager, can you have someone escort me to his office."

The teller nodded and looking over his shoulder he let out a snarl out in goblin speak and another goblin came around the desk, the head teller looked to me once more.

"Filnuk here will take you to Ironclaw's office, may your vaults overflow and your enemies fall to your mercy young wizard" he said as he continued to grin.

I nodded, "May your gold overflow, and your enemies cower in fear." I returned before I was led away by Filnuk down the corridor towards Ironclaw's office, in truth I remembered the way to it as I had just visited the day before.

But I figured it would be better to have a goblin escort rather than just go walking around Gringotts bank without one and risk being accused of trying to steal from the goblins.

Reaching the door Filnuk gestured for me to go in, I nodded to him and entered, Ironclaw was behind his desk when I did so and he looked up from some paperwork and grinned seeing me, "Ah Master Black. To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?"

I smiled, "I have three matters that I need your aid in. My grandfather's portrait told me that Gringotts knows how to be discreet in matters, which I feel is most important until I am ready to announce to the rest of the wizarding world that hose Black has returned heir and all."
