Phil & Harry
After playing with the adults for about half an hour, with their tummies full and their diapers changed, Luna and Harry were falling asleep. Ragnok offered them use of two cots, which were promptly brought in when agreed on, and put on the other side of the room so their conversations wouldn’t keep them awake. But, as Sirius was asked questions about his parents by Phil, Harry and Luna kept whining and calling out, when Remus went to see what was wrong he understood immediately, they were trying to reach for the other, so Remus put them together in one cot, thanking Ragnok and explaining to make sure he wasn’t offending anyone.
“I feel like I should go next, we said we would alternate, and as I have no magic, mine should be faster,” Phil offered, when everyone agreed, though Clint and Tony, reluctantly, Ragnok pull out his file.

“Like the others, an account was created for you and a million Galleons have to be deposited in your name in a newly opened vault,” Ragnok informed him, reading on more of the parchment, “you, too, seem in perfect physical condition, which will be checked on by our healers.”
Ragnok handed Phil his parchment and held a hand up when Remus and Severus opened their mouth at the same time.
“I think we should do Young Harry’s while he sleeps on, you explained how you managed to push his memories in his subconscious, no need to push them forward by listening to us,” Ragnok told them and everyone agreed easily.

“When did that happen?” Remus asked confused. “Not that I am complaining, but for Sirius, James and I to appear as brothers on your tests we had to go through a ritual, which we didn’t do on Harry.”
“November, 1st, your magic accepted him as your child, he is now your child.”
Remus couldn’t stop grinning, he had his cubs and no one could take them away from him, well no one save Sirius, but he knew Sirius wouldn’t take them away. Though he would have happily stayed an uncle if James and Lily could be with them. He lost his grin suddenly.
“I know,” Sirius told him and hugged him, gripping at Severus’ sleeve to drag him into the hug too, no matter how much he was complaining.

Remus was happy not to be the only one staring between Ragnok and the cubs in the cot, with his mouth open, not knowing what to say.
“Hum, excuse me … WHAT?” Sirius finally managed to say.
“The Potter Lordship is self-explanatory, the Black Lordship will come to him at 14, for now, it is hidden with you,” He said nodding toward Sirius. “The Lord Prewetts were the last Griffyndor Heirs, but they refused to take it as it can only be held by one person, the next person in the line of succession was James Potter, he received the letter informing him of this fact, but he was never able to take the title officially because they went into hiding soon after,” Ragnok explained. “The founders’ Lordships are old enough to follow the ancient laws of Scottland, it allows the heir to become the Lord, no matter his age at the time of the previous Lord’s demise. It was this same law which allowed for Queen Mary of Scotts to become queen at the early age of six days.”
“How did he became Lord Hufflepuff?” Severus asked.
“Lady Potter was Lady Hufflepuff, the Evans though they became a squib line in the early 16th century after intermarrying too often, are descendants of Helga Hufflepuff,” Ragnok told them.
“Was she aware?” Remus asked wondering why he never heard about it.
“Her parents were told when they came to open her school vault on her 11th birthday, they didn’t follow up, and seemed to have no interest in it,” Ragnok informed them. “Lady Potter was told once more when she came of age and the vaults were transferred to her. We tested her the same way we are doing now, and while no Potions or spells appeared on her, she didn’t seem concerned about it, and she refused to put on her ring, she told us to leave it for her heir. Without proof of interference, there was nothing to be done about it, we were not even allowed legally to talk to her spouse about it.”
“I had my doubts when you said they went into hiding just after Gideon and Fabian refused to become Lord Griffyndor, because James loves - loved Hogwarts, he would have been here immediately, and now this, it reeks of Dumbledore’s influence,” Sirius said, taking a deep breath and looking longingly at the cubs before he sighed and focused back on Ragnok, realizing he needed to do this to protect them, and not, like Remus was trying to keep himself from doing, to go kill the old goat.
“As I explain, we found no proof,” Ragnok reminded him. “Now, do you require explanation on the conquest titles?”
“Not really. I am guessing the Dark…, Vold…” Severus started to say and shuddered, “The mark still hurts if I try to say anything but Dark Lord,” He said with a scowl.
Before Sirius could comment, Remus did,
“Don’t force yourself, we get it, and we’ll find a way to get rid of it.”
Severus nodded his thanks and tried again, “I am guessing Harry inherited these specific titles from his defeat of the Dark Lord.”
“Yes, Tom Marvolo Riddle, known as Lord Voldemort, was Heir Slytherin, Lord Gaunt, and Lord Peverell, all titles passed on to young Harry three days ago.”
“Why was he, only, Heir Slytherin? And please do not say the name again,” Severus asked.
“The ring refused him,” Ragnok said simply.
“Okay, I don’t get what the big deal is apart from the many titles, can someone explain? Quickly? Or are you going to tell me you’ll explain later?” Clint asked, but Phil, Natasha, and Tony nodded.
“Helga Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin, Godric Griffyndor, and Rowena Ravenclaw are the founders of Hogwarts, our school, but more than that, they were powerful, influential, and rich people in both words, they are the people behind most of the laws we still live by, in Britain and over the world,” Remus explained. “Ambrosius or Emrys are one of the same, and it happened to be Merlin. Lefay, as in Morgan Le Fay. I don’t think I need to explain their influence, do I?” Remus asked but everyone shook their head in the negative
“The Peverell brothers are characters in a well-liked children book of tales, they defied Death and won against her, I didn’t know they were real though, I don’t think anyone claimed to be from the Peverell line since the Gaunt and the Potter married into the line,” Sirius told them, “Only females were born so the name disappeared through time and every Pureblood families is claiming some connection to them, or to the founders.”
“Flamel, I am guessing, is Nicholas Flamel, though I don’t see how Harry became his heir, the Flamel are French they didn’t have children and are 600 years old, they won’t have any,” Severus said, sounding intrigued.
“This is to do with a specificity of Gringotts laws. Every contract, every document, signed at Gringotts, or with a Gringotts’ Goblin as a witness, is filed in our archives, which are timeless,” Ragnok told them then stopped them from questioning him. “I will not explain how or why. What I can tell you is that, if Albus Dumbledore was to find out about young Harry’s time traveling and go back to that night to prevent it, Gringotts would still have a copy of your Innocence and Release Amends, Sirius, it cannot be destroyed, once it is filed, it is there forever and can be accessed by any Goblins Senior Manager or higher, so, only the King or Queen and the Head Healer. But it could be accessed by my Great-Grandfather if he had needs for it, though he has been dead for centuries.”
“Impressive,” Phil whistled at him.
“I found in the trunk, sent by my future self, a list of contracts, agreements, and other parchments I needed to access regarding Harry Potter and several other people, including a Defense Group called Marvelers, comprised of Lord Potter and his friends, which includes myself and my clan as well as several others, the money put in your vaults is back pay from this organization, as per contracts,” Ragnok explained.
“Wait, you are paying us for something we haven’t done yet?” Clint asked confused.
“Accepting the charge of Young Lord Potter and coming here today were the conditions for the money to be transferred into your individual vaults,” Ragnok stated, “If you are worried about where the money is coming from, 33% comes from Lord Potter who put aside the Gaunt vault for this purpose, feeling like the Dark Lord’s Galleons should be used to bring peace to the world,” with this Ragnok bent down to retrieve papers from the trunk next to him. “33% is abounded by Gringotts and the Goblins Clans, the last 33% comes from the different communities you were protecting, such as Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Wizards, but also No-Majs, Mutants. No one is forced to donate our contracts only obliges Harry and the Goblins, others were asked but no details were given, and as you all have no use for the money at the moment, apart from salaries, there are no needs or urgency. We are making sure to invest and make up for the money we might not get from the third part of the contract. For example, Lord Gaunt now owns 12% of SHIELD.”
“Oh, Wow,” Clint said, “Harry is our boss.”
