Chapter Text
Nothing really different happened today honestly. Aunty Petunia let me out and hand over the list of chores I had today while telling me to hurry and get breakfast done before her Dudlies starve to death. After breakfast (which I had none of) I started my chores doing anything in my power to not upset Uncle Vernon today, but of course it didn’t go as I planned.
“Boy what did I say about making my Dudles starve!? Are you try to kill him!?” he shouted. I was confused because it wasn’t even 20 minutes ago did breakfast finished.
“B-But I just s-serve breakfast?” I said, barely over a whisper, not knowing what’s happening. That is when I finally got a look at the clock above the kitchen door. ‘Shit!! It’s Dudley’s sack time!!’
“Are you talking back to me you little freak!!” he said turning red with anger. Before I could answer he swung at me. I didn’t have time to recover has he started kicking at me. He wasn’t finished until I was bleeding and for good measures, he stepped on my wrist, breaking it. After he was finished, he dragged my bloody form from the kitchen all the up to Dudley’s second bedroom, my room since second year and that’s where I’ve been since then.
I had enough strength to drag myself up on the bed where I’ve been laying. Right now, it’s 11:59 p.m. and I’m using an old watch to watch the time. I started counting down the time like I’ve done every year now. Now I’m just watching the second-hand pas by….

As soon as I said one pain started boiling me alive. I don’t what’s happening, but I was trying to keep the screams to a minimum to not wake up my ‘family’. The pain didn’t seem to stop and after a while white spot appeared in my line of vision.
What happened to be a few minutes but was actually hours, I woke up feeling like a new person. But I felt like I was suffocating with all the walls around me and all I can think about is how I need to be in the forest or around trees to feel free.
I didn’t notice a brown owl flew through the window until it hooted. I walked to where the owl was and took the letter from it. I gave the owl some treats before it could fly away. I opened the letter and it read.
“Dear Mr. Potter
We, the goblins of Gringotts Bank, are proud to announce you have gone through your creature inheritance. In this letter is a fae charm, it is a portkey to Gringotts Bank. Please just say ‘Fae’ to activate it. There is much for us to discuss as we’ve noticed some inconsistencies in your vaults and papers.
Sincerely,
Griphook
Head Goblin of Potter, Black, Peverell and Prince Vaults’
I was confused. There were inconsistencies? What the bloody hell was a creature inheritance? I need answers now, but something slammed against my door preventing me from rashly just going to the bank."
“Get up freak! You were supposed to make breakfast an hour ago!” Aunt Petunia screeched as she banged her fist on the already broken door.
“I’ll be right out Aunt Petunia” my voice surprised me. It sounded gentle, smooth, sweet and seductive, I’m glad that with me whispering it doesn’t sound too seductive.
Grabbing a baggy shirt and a shirt that were bigger than normal, I realized that I don’t feel as much pain as I was in last night, like all my wounds were gone. I pulled the pieces over my slim, yet curvy body.
I left my room and went downstairs to the kitchen where I took out the pancake batter, eggs, bacon, sausage and some extra ingredients for an omelet. The pancakes, bacon and sausage complete when my uncle poked his large head in the kitchen, “Hurry up boy!!”
“Yes uncle Vernon.” I realized that my voice could make a grown man weak. Better not talk too much today, don’t want mad at me for something I myself don’t understand, I thought to myself.
After I finished the omelet for Ant Petunia, sunny sides up for Uncle Vernon and scrambled eggs for Dudley I plated the food in the respective portions for each family member.
Two pancakes, two slices of bacon, one sausage and an omelet for Aunt petunia, five pancakes, three slices of bacon, two sausages and three scrambled eggs for Dudley and seven pancakes, five slices of bacon, four sausages and three sunny side up for Uncle Vernon.
As I finished and planted the food Uncle Vernon and Dudley had taken upon themselves to chant “Give us food!”, like they were starving, unlike me who hasn’t eaten anything but two slices of bread for a week now.
“I’m finished”, I said cutting through the chanting. I placed down the food and went to start on drinks. I poured Dudley orange juice no pulp, Aunt Petunia English Breakfast Tea, and Uncle Vernona cup of black coffee.
Only when I stepped back did anyone pay me any actual attention. “What have you done to yourself you little freak! That it! Get out of my house!” Uncle Vernon started screaming as his uncountable number of chins shook.
I ran to my room and grabbed my wand, Hedwig and the little fairy figurine. I whispered, “Fae”, clearly and was suddenly gone. I could feel the tug of magical transportation before being dropped fairly elegantly into Gringotts. It was the first time I had landed properly with any form of magical transportation and was quite surprised by it.
I felt eyes on me and blushed when I saw the goblins staring at me. It took a minute or two for a goblin to come meet me at the front where I was. “Mr. Potter, finally, please come with me, we must get everything sorted.” I followed the familiar-looking Goblin to the back area and into a large office filled with books and scrolls. “Now let us begin with your birth certificate.”
