Chapter 4
"We have much to do, Heir Mortem," Scythestrike said calmly, pulling a huge folder out of his desk. "Gringotts has been attempting to reach you since your eleventh birthday."
Harry hid a groan.
"You should have taken an Inheritance Test when you reached eleven years old," Scythestrike continued. "We know for a fact that you have the Black Heirship, but we are unsure what other Heirships you possess. And since you are officially considered an adult in the eyes of Magic-"
"What?!"
Scythetrike sighed. "That's right; Lord Mortem did tell me that you had been told nothing." He pulled a blank piece of parchment from the folder. "As you participated in the Triwizard Tournament, which, due to the new law passed by the Ministry, you need to be an adult to participate in, you are now an adult in both the eyes of the law and Magic. As you are now an adult, you can take your Lordships as well as your Heirships." He pulled a needle from his desk as well. "Please place three drops on this parchment, Heir Mortem."
"Is this the Inheritance Test?" Harry asked cautiously, picking up the needle. Scythestrike nodded.

Harry stared incredulously at his Inheritance Test. "What the-"
Language.
Oh, shut up, Harry grumbled.
"May I see?" Scythestrike questioned. Harry handed the paper to him. "Hmm." He snapped his fingers, and the folder grew impossibly larger. "There are two other tests you will need to take, but before that, would you like to review your payment history, vaults and properties?"
"My what?"
Scythestrike pulled a smaller folder out of the bigger one and handed it to Harry.

I'm a billionare?!
"Mr. Scythestrike," Harry frowned, setting aside the folder, "you said you wanted to talk about my payment history. But I've only withdrawn from the vault my mother and James Potter gave me for school twice, and the other two times Mrs. Weasley withdrew from it."
"Please call me Scythe," the goblin replied, pulling another piece of paper out of the huge folder. "I have no record of a Mrs. Weasley being allowed access to your vault and vault key. And I do not believe the previous Lord Potter and your mother gave you any school vault. Did you mean an Heir vault?"
"I don't really think I gave Mrs. Weasley permission to use my vault," Harry answered, pulling his vault folder back to him and flipping through it.
