Chapter 35: 31 July 1991

Diagon Alley, there's a giant man with a full beard, and bushy hair brown hair walking with an 11-year-old boy with a lightning scar on his forehead.

"How am I going to buy all of these Hagrid?, I don't have money... And the Dursleys won't give me money" said Harry with a preoccupied face as he looked at the list of things he needs to attend to Hogwarts.

"Don't worry Harry, you're parents left you a generous amount of money in Gringotts" said Hagrid while looking at him with a reassuring face.

"They left me money... What's Gringotts?" said Harry with curiosity on his face.

"The Magical Bank for Wizards, were going there for you to take money to buy your stuff, and in the way, I'm going to take care of something..." said Hagrid but as he noticed he talked too much he shut up.

Harry just looked at Hagrid with a pondering face but didn't say anything.

They keep walking in the direction to Gringotts, Harry was seeing everywhere with an excited face.

They finally got to Gringotts, Harry was amazed as he saw the goblins that were weighing gold on balances.

They walked to the counter of a goblin who was looking at a golden coin with a spectacle on his eye.

"Cough Cough"

The goblin stopped looking at the coin as he lifted his head two see, his two visitors.

"What do you need?" said the Goblin while lifting an eyebrow.

"Mr. Potter here, wants to take money out of his vault, and I'm here to take something as well." said Hagrid with a calm face.

"Mr. Potter, can I see your key?" said the Goblin with disdain in his eyes.

"Ahem, I have his key... Just a second..." said Hagrid as he started searching for the key in his gabardine filled with holes and patches "Here it is" said Hagrid as he presented the key to the goblin who took it and started examining it.

"Ok, and your key, you're taking something as well don't you?" said the Goblin with an annoyed expression on his face as he looked at the face of Hagrid which was red for the shame of forgetting to take out his key as well.

"Here it is" said Hagrid as he finally took out a key from a pocket.

"Very well, follow me" said the Goblin as he started walking, Harry and Hagrid follow him, and they finally get to a cart as they got there a voice of a goblin sounded from behind. "Griphook wait for me, I have to go down as well and there's only one cart... My client has an emergency." said a goblin while walking as fast as he could.

"Strigz, you can wait for sometime I'm sure there's someone coming back..." said Griphook with a calm face.

"Sigh, my client is paying for this problem to be solved as soon as possible.." said Strigz as he took a pouch from his robe and passed it to Griphook, who saw the inside of the pouch for a second, and his eyes started to shine.

As Strigz saw the gleam on his eyes, his eyes started to turn red as he muttered 'I could keep all of it... All of that shining coins... Why the world is so unfair... "

"Ok, Strigz we can't disappoint a client... Come with us, but first, we have to go and take their things." said Griphook as he got on the cart.

Hagrid and Harry did not say anything as they didn't have a problem with just waiting a few more minutes to come out.

Strigz nodded at Griphook and got on the back of the cart, this cart was one with three rows of seats, so there was no problem and Harry and Hagrid got in the middle of the cart.

The cart started to move, first, it started to go right, then it turned left, then right again, then right again, then it started to go down, then right... Harry tried to see anything or make sense of the system there but he couldn't as he got dizzy as he tried to remember how many turns they have made in the tunnels.

The cart finally stopped and Griphook said "This is the vault of Mr. Potter." as he just stayed inside of the cart with no plan to move of there.

"Let's go Harry" said Hagrid as he got down of the cart followed by Harry, they walked in front of the vault, Harry saw the number of the vault 687, he took the key out of his pocket and insert it in the wall.

The vault started moving as it opened up revealing a big pile of Golden coins, Harry was surprised as he saw them. He then remembered about the two goblins waiting inside the cart and Hagrid too, and he walked to the big pile of golden coins and started filling his magical pouch Hagrid gave him a few moments ago.

As he was sure he had taken enough, he turned around and saw Hagrid waiting for him at the entrance of the vault. Harry took the key out of the wall and the vault closed down.

Harry and Hagrid got on the cart again, and their traveled inside the passage of Gringotts started again.

The cart finally stopped again, but this time Griphook got out of the cart and started walking to the vault, where he inserted his finger inside the gap of the wall, the vault opened up, and Hagrid entered the vault where he took a little package in the middle of the vault. As Harry saw that, he got curious about what could it be, but said nothing.

As he was turning around to get back to the cart, he caught a glimpse of a red light... And his vision started to fill with darkness as he dropped to the floor.

Griphook and Hagrid hit the floor as well, as they didn't expect Strigz to cast a spell on them.

Strigz smiled as he saw them on the floor. "Huh, I didn't plan to take the philosopher stone, when I got here... But with the philosopher stone, I can make another ring... Or maybe better update my ring..." said Strigz as his eyes turned black with silver iris.

"Hmmph what a bother to have to take possession of this goblin... Well, It saves me time actually... Just to be sure I will check this one too" thought Stefan who was possessing Strigz.

Strigz opened his mouth and a little bit of black onyx fog came out of it and then entered the fainted Goblin. Strigz closed his eyes for a second as he read the memories of Griphook.

"Ok... Looks like Griphook its at the same Strigz but he has more information about the passages...So I will need this to open that vault..." thought Stefan as he pointed his index finger at the right hand of Griphook and a white slash came out of his index finger severing the index finger of the goblin, Strigz took the severed finger and kept it in his pocket.

"Good, now let's take that stone away from this fool." thought Stefan inside the body of Strigz, as he walked in front of Hagrid and started checking his pockets.

Strigz smiled as he finally found the package, he started unwrapping it, and as he saw what was inside his face turned into one of anger, he pointed his hand at Hagrid and his index finger started to shine with a black light.

"Hmmph, the old man lied to this dumbass, he must have switched the stone before... And wanted to see if Voldemort was still here...well I will obtain that stone sooner or later" thought Stefan as Strigz stopped pointing at Hagrid, he wrapped the package and put it in the same pocket it was before.

Stefan then saw Harry lay down on the floor, he walked in front of him and as he saw the lightning scar he thought "I'm coming back to take that Voldemort soul later..." he started walking to the cart while, he got on it and started operating it, as the cart started to move Strigz from time to time started to growl "I'm here to take you out, where are you, answer quickly."

As he passed a certain passage, flames started pouring, Strigz stopped the cart and got out of it, as he started walking, he saw a dragon with white eyes... He was almost blind as he has been in total darkness for too long, he had chained on his limbs that were connected to the wall.

"Help me" growled the dragon.

Strigz opened his mouth and growled "I'm here, I'm going to take you out with all of the other dragons, but tell me where is the six leveled one?"

The dragon opened his mouth and started growling "You have to go to the deepest vault in this shitty hole... Be careful there are other magical creatures warding that dragon, or that's what I heard a long time ago"

"There will be a force trying to suction you, so don't resist." growled Stefan at the dragon

The dragon nodded, as he laid down on the floor, Strigz pointed his fingers at the chains and black slashes came out of his fingers that severed the chains, then a black vortex appeared in front of the dragon, who felt the suction force but did nothing and in a fraction of second the dragon entered the vortex.

"So there goes one...they should have notice something is wrong, since the moment I cut the chains... But they must be coming... In about 5 seconds they should arrive..." thought Stefan as Strigz took out a watch from his pocket and looked at it for a moment.

The walls of the passage started to tremble for a moment, but seconds later it stopped trembling.

"On time..." thought Stefan as Strigz smiled with those nasty teeth of him.

Strigz walked to the direction of the cart and again started to move while growling, he kept finding dragons and dragons the deeper the vaults where he took every dragon Gringotts had.

After a time, he finally got to the deepest part of Gringotts, the vault number was 999.

Strigz got out of the cart and walked in front of the vault, he saw there were two holes in opposite sides of the wall.

"Lets do it" said Strigz as he opened his mouth and black onyx gas started coming out, the gas assembled right beside Strigz and after a second it took the form of Stefan.

Stefan didn't let Strigz regain his consciousness as he pointed with his finger at him while saying "Imperius", the eyes of Strigz who started to gain clearance again turn dimmed and stood beside Stefan waiting for orders.

Stefan pointed at a pocket of Strigz and the severed finger came out floating. "We are going to open this vault, go there, I'm going to count to three and we are going to simultaneously put the fingers inside the holes." said Stefan with a calm face he started walking in front of the hole the vault had.

Strigz nodded stiffly and walked to the hole, he looked at Stefan.

"One... Two... Three..." said Stefan as he introduced the severed finger inside the hole, Strigz did the same thing but with his own finger.

The vault started opening, after it opened Stefan walked inside while growling "I'm here to get you out of here..." he noticed this vault was not like the other ones... There were a lot of gallons on the floor and the vault was too big so big...as big as 5 football stadiums...

After a moment, Stefan kept walking while growling, while avoiding the detection traps thanks to the memories of Strigz and Griphook and others goblins which Stefan selected to read their memories.

As he kept walking for nearly 10 minutes, he closed his eyes for a moment and he noticed that in their memories he never saw the so-called leveled 6 dragon... The face of Stefan started changing into one of fury.

He kept walking quickly to the center of the vault where he growled but he didn't receive a response, as he kept walking and walking he finally saw as the galleons changed and items started to appear in crystal boxes.

He kept walking and the items started to change for eggs... High leveled ones with 4 bloodlines, then 5 bloodlines.

The more he walked the more eggs he saw and the bloodlines were getting better and better, he finally saw an altar and saw two big eggs one was white and the other was black.

"So no living dragon but at least there are eggs..." Thought Stefan as he started walking to the altar, suddenly from his right side a Thunderbird flew in his direction while spreading his claws, with the intention of cutting him.

Stefan just pointed a finger at him while saying "Avada Kedavra" a black bolt of lightning came out of his finger and hit the chest of the thunderbird who dropped to the ground and crashing with a lot of boxes with eggs inside of them.

He didn't pay attention to the dead thunderbird as he kept walking and was in front of the two eggs... Black fog started coming out of his body as it enveloped the two crystal boxes that had the eggs inside of them, devouring the boxes in a fraction of second and leaving the eggs with no protection.

Stefan took the eggs, and started sensing their power... as he sensed them he started getting angrier and as he was about to throw an egg to the floor, he calmed down and muttered "Semi-six leved ranked ones with five bloodlines, I will use them as sacrifice to my dragon eggs..." a black vortex appeared in front of the eggs, and the eggs disappeared inside of it.

"Time to leave..." said Stefan as he started walking back to the entrance of the vault.

---------------------------------------------

2 Hours before.

Inside a cell on the top of the watchtower, a red hair beautiful woman, dressed in a French Maid Costume is looking at a watch in her hand, and an Old Man is beside her observing the watch with a gleam in his eyes.

The watch started to ring, a black contract with silverish letters appeared, and a red feather was next to the contract floating in mid-air, as the contract and the feather appeared in front of the Old man, the Old man took the red feather with no hesitation in his eyes and signed the contract, the contract combusted in flames, and the red feather vanished in mid-air.

Black Onyx Fog came out of thin air and started to enveloped the Old Man for completely, the Old Man watched with interest at the black onyx fog but did nothing to prevent being enveloped by it.

In a matter of seconds, the black onyx fog vanished, leaving a handsome man that looked in his thirties with a white mustache, with white hair, and his eyes were of two different colors one being white and the other being blue.

The man started to laugh as he saw, and filled the power he had in his prime years.

"Congratulations, Grindelwald" said the red-haired beauty, as she took a black box from her pocket and opening it, revealing a silver ring laying inside the box.

"Young Master, sends you this ring, the ring turns into a wand and you can use magic with both of its forms, the wand is above the level the elder wand" said the red-haired beauty with a proud voice.

Grindelwald smiled as he saw the silver ring and the emblem on it, he took it and put in his right hand,

Mary saw with a little bit of surprise in her green eyes as Grindelwald turned the ring into a wand, with no need of her explanation.

"Young Master is really considerate" said Grindelwald while examining the wand.

"It's time, I will watch in the shadows, Young Master said 'that you should make a great debut, it is your comeback to the magical word, enjoy'" said Mary while nodding at Grindelwald, black fog started coming out of her body enveloping the cell for complete, and apparating away from there.

"Albus... I'm coming back, hahaha" said Grindelwald while laughing as he apparated away from there.

As he apparated away the black fog started to vanish little by little.

After the black fog vanished, the cell started to light up, and runes came out of the walls, a fraction of second later, the door of the cell was opened, and an old man with a large beard with wand in hand entered the cell quickly, as he saw the cell was empty, the old man sighed.

"A fraction of second late... Gellert.. Where are you?" muttered the old man while looking for the last time at the cell and apparating away from there.
