viii. i have a sister?

And as a family of three, the Dursley-Potter clan entered Gringotts.

It was simply glorious, but all Dudley was fixated on were the goblins. He stared at them in awe and with an open mouth.

"Close your mouth, Dudley. And stop staring. Goblins aren't known to be nice to humans!", Harriet hissed to her cousin, who closed his mouth and gulped before nodding and turning to look at everything else instead. But no matter where he looked, his gaze always miraculously ended up back on another goblin.

Petunia was nervous, and Harriet just looked around boredly, occasionally reminding Dudley to stop staring or close his mouth. After a few seconds they finally stood in front of a very grumpy-looking goblin, who didn't even look up.

"Excuse me?", Petunia asked, but the goblin continued writing whatever he was writing. She looked at Harriet in exasperation.

Harriet sighed. "May your enemies quiver in fear at the sight of you", she said and the goblin looked up sharply to see a little six-year-old girl addressing him in formal goblin greeting.

"Name and inquiry?"

"Harriet Potter, Dudley Dursley and Petunia Dursley. We would like to speak with the Potter Account Manager, if it is possible." The goblin was gobsmacked at first, but regained his posture quickly. He truly didn't expect the Girl-Who-Lived in their bank.

"We need three drops of blood from all three of you to confirm your identity." At the sight of Dudley's face, he said, "It won't hurt more than a bug sting. And it's standard procedure. We've had many people coming and claiming to be Harriet Potter."

After they did that — only the goblin looked at the names — he nodded at them. "It seems that you really are who you claim to be. Sharpclaw!", he said loudly. "Take those three to the Potter Account Manager!"

"Of course, Heartaxe", Sharpclaw said, and walked away. Harriet, Petunia and Dudley followed behind, not sure how this was going to end for any of them.

When they were in the office — they assumed it was the Potter Account Manager's — they sat down and waited for the goblin on the other side of the desk to say something.

"May your vaults overflow with money", Harriet said respectfully again, knowing they wouldn't get acknowledged otherwise. And she was right. As soon as she said that, the goblin looked at her curiously and a bit surprised.

"And may your enemies quiver at the sight of you", the goblin said. "Now, I understand that you three would like to undergo an Inheritance test?" All three nodded. "Alright, who wants to go first?"

"I guess I will", Petunia said slowly and the goblin nodded, grinning toothily.

"Good. The test will require seven drops of your blood to drop onto that parchment." He pointed at the parchment in front of her and Dudley and Harriet noticed the same parchments in front of them. She held out her hand and let it be cut by the dagger in the goblin's hand. She let seven drops of blood drop onto the parchment in front of her and watched as it absorbed the red liquid before writing started appearing.

When the parchment finally stopped filling with more information, Harriet and Petunia were shocked at the results. Dudley looked shocked as well, but less so them his family, since he didn't know much about magic.

"Basilla is alive? I thought she died just after being born because it was three months early. At least that's what I was told", Petunia said.

"I have a sister?", Dudley asked.

"You're a Black?! You're my godfather's sister, Aunt Petu- uh, Stella!"

The goblin suddenly looked at Harriet. "Ah, Harriet Potter." He narrowed his eyes at her. "Something tells me that you're older than you look to be, Miss Potter. Or should I perhaps say…Mrs. Weasley?" Harriet sucked in breath. How did he know that?

"Uh…please don't call me that, Mr…"

"Just Griphook", the goblin said.

Harriet cleared her throat. "Of course, Griphook. And please, refrain from calling me that."

"What? Harriet, what is he talking about? Mrs. Weasley? I thought you were Harriet Potter. Just Harriet. That's true, isn't it? And what did he mean when he said you're older than you look?", Dudley started asked wildly and loudly.

Harriet sighed. Now she had to tell him. She couldn't exactly wave it off now. She started to open her mouth, but Griphook interrupted. "You may discuss that later, Mr. Dursley. Now, Mr. Dursley, you may drop seven drops of your blood on your parchment."

While Dudley was doing just that, Harriet was panicking about what to tell Dudley and how. She hadn't planned for him to find out about her secret anytime soon, but of course Griphook had to drop the bomb right here.

Of course Petuni- er, Stella's results had surprised all of them, though Petunia was on the verge of crying and only fixated on the fact that her daughter, Basilla, was still alive and hadn't died minutes after being born. Harriet wondered why she never knew about that in her previous life, though that basically explained itself. She was an ignorant girl, the perfect pawn for Dumbledore, so of course she wouldn't have known about Basilla.

But that's not the only thing she was worrying about. After seeing Pe- Stella's test results, Harriet was anxious to discover whatever she would. What did it mean that Stella was the Heiress of Slytherin by Magic? And the House of Bask, too. Bask…that was the maiden name of Harriet's maternal grandmother. Maybe through adoption, meaning through the Evans family? And to Hufflepuff through Marriage. Did that mean- no, it couldn't mean that Vernon Dursley was actually a squib descendent of Helga Hufflepuff. It just couldn't.

But even if it didn't, if Stella was the Heiress of Slytherin through adoption, Harriet would be by blood, magic and conquest, since she defeated Voldemort, who's also an Heir of Slytherin by blood. And all the blocks, spells and potions made Harriet dizzy just thinking about it. If that's what Stella had to endure, she honestly didn't want to know what would be revealed in her Inheritance Test.

Anyway, P- Stella had so much money in her Trust Vault alone. She could live without having to work ever again with only that. Even Dudley and Basilla, and their children and any children those should have would never have problems without a job or an income.

On another note, Harriet truly pitied Stella for her parents. Walburga and Orion Black really wouldn't be the pair she would wish on anyone as parents. And her kind-of honorary aunt, godfather and their brother had that misfortune she wouldn't wish on anyone except maybe her worst enemy, namely Dumbledore.

But before Harriet could continue that train of thought, she was snapped out of her daze by a loud and slightly childish gasp that pulled her gaze towards Dudley's Inheritance Test, which was just a few inches longer than Stella's.

And what she saw made her blood boil. There definitely wouldn't be much left of Dumbledore when Harriet was finished with the old bastard.
