[two days later]

A young man is looking at the entrance of a pub

At the top of the pub, you can see a wooden sign that indicates the name of that place, Leaky Cauldron, that young man in front of the canteen is Alexander Gaunt

"I finally got to the pub," said Alexander

As I walked towards the entrance I was thinking about the waste of time it was to have to wait almost two days at the wizarding house in Great Hangleton until a wizard from the ministry appeared by the fireplace so I could look for Jack and could bring me to London.

When I enter the pub I can see several tables, most of them are empty, there are two people with robes that cover their entire body while they drink what seems to be a kind of liquor, I also see a large wooden bar where a young man of about 22 years clean some glasses with a cloth, I presume he is the one who serves the public

I decided to approach him to ask him several things

"Good morning sir," I say

"Hello young man, it is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Tom, it is quite rare to see a child wizard only in these places, how can I help you?" he commented while he looked at me and he will smile at the same time

As I was looking at him, I couldn't help but have some pretty strange ideas from the way he looks at me, I have to confess

"I would like to enter Diagon Alley, I am going to run some errands but it is my first time, I would like to ask for your help to open the door if it is not too much trouble," I said with a respectful tone

"Ohh sure, I imagine this will be your first year at Hogwarts and you come to buy the things you need to have an excellent start," he said while still smiling

"Look closely boy what I'm about to do so that the next time you come to my pub you can enter through this door" while he spoke he walked towards the fireplace that was on the left

After touching some bricks in specific positions, the chimney began to move until a hole large enough to enter 1 person was formed

"Welcome to Diagon Alley have fun," he said while still smiling

When I entered through the door that just appeared in the fireplace, what I could see was a large alley where many people passed, most of them were wearing wizard robes

It was something interesting to see before I go I ask the bartender for directions about where the Gringotts bank is

After walking for a while, I came to an alley that was shaped like a Y

in that place, there was a large snow-white building and above the door, there was a sign that enunciated its splendor "Gringotts Bank"

"It seems to arrive at the place" I thought as I entered the bank

There is a goblin at the entrance who looks at me when the first thing I see is that I am in a small dome, there are two doors on the sides and in front of me, there is a wall with very beautiful writing that says the following.

"Enter, stranger, but take heed

Of what awaits the sin of greed

For those who take, but do not earn,

Must pay most dearly in their turn.

So if you seek beneath our floors

A treasure that was never yours,

Thief, you have been warned, beware

Of finding more than treasure there. "

interesting, they seem to take security pretty seriously

we will see how true this threat is

both doors also had a goblin guarding

quite curious creatures I have to confess, I wonder if their body will be different from ours

I will find out in the future

I decided to enter through the left door, although surely it does not matter which of the two doors I pass through

I could see a long corridor, throughout the corridor you could see quite a few goblins in some writers writing things with quite large pens for their size

While I was walking and looking for a goblin who could help me, I could see some goblins in some fairly high lectern of almost 2 meters I would say

I walked over to one of those lecterns and waited a few minutes while the goblin finished writing his things on the paper

"Patience, an important virtue, a trait lost in your race, little wizard, tell me, young man, what can I do for you today" the goblin spoke while his face full of wrinkles stared at me

It seems like he's scanning me I thought

"A cordial greeting Mr. Goblin, I come today to obtain information about the vault of my family, the Gaunts" I said calmly

Hearing this, the goblin raised his right eyebrow as he told me "mmm, I can assume then that Mr. Marvolo is no longer among the living, he has not come to withdraw his money for his expenses for many years"

It seems that the goblin knew my grandfather

"Well then, Mr. Gaunt, your name is?" asked the goblin

"Alexander" I answered sharply

"Please come with me Mr alexander, we will carry out a simple test to verify that you are indeed who you say you are" the goblin spoke as he went to a door near where we were

After entering the room, there was a round table and two chairs, on the table a paper was

As we sat down, the goblin told me "to be able to verify your ancestry you must spill a little of your blood on this paper, he will identify who your parents and grandparents are"

The goblin handed me a small dagger at the same time that he said "you can make the cut yourself or leave me my Mr. Gaunt"

Without answering anything, I cut one of my fingers and bleed a little on the paper

As if by magic the goblin gave me a small cloth that I have no idea where I get

while cleaning my blood the goblin analyzed the information that began to appear on the paper

"Indeed a descendant of the Gaunt family, son of Mrs. Merope, although there is something strange, there is no information about your father, very strange," the goblin said while frowning

"How strange, we have the information of all the wizards that are currently alive, we have almost 500 years of information but your father does not appear in our registry ..." the goblin continued to grumble while he had a confused face

"There must be some kind of error, well, Mr. Gaunt, I could already confirm its origin, now tell me what I can do for you today" the goblin spoke with some respect

"I want to access the family vault," I told the goblin

"I understand your request but I must say that I have to reject it, only the current master of the Gaunt family can enter or authorize someone to enter, the old master was Mr. Marvolo but from what I understand he is dead, so currently who has this Faculty is your uncle Mr. Morfin "explained the goblin

this makes things a little difficult for me mmmm

"I understand the situation that you are posing to me, but I want to inform you that it has been more than 5 years since someone had information about my uncle Morfin, he is missing and it is unknown if he is currently alive, my grandfather was found dead in his housing recently for me and my mother has been missing for almost 10 years too, so I would like to know what happens in this situation, wouldn't it be possible to name me as the master of the Gaunt house while his personal situation is known? " I asked her while reporting the "disappearances" in my family

Then the goblin began to think for a while while he touched the hair on his head

After a long time in silence the goblin spoke "an anomalous situation without a doubt, it is possible that it can be done temporarily, but I will have to talk to my superior because there are some things that may be against some magical laws, he will I ask Mr. Alexander please wait here while I speak with my superior. "

then the goblin left and after a few moments another goblin came in with a tray, in it there were some sweets and some tea

After a long time, the goblin re-entered the room "Mr. Alexander, after talking a bit with my superior we reached several conclusions, please follow me while I explain things to you" so we left that room and walked down a fairly long corridor

then the goblin continued speaking "currently you are in a rather peculiar situation, Mr. Gaunt, since all the people in your family are dead or their whereabouts are unknown, due to your current age, the normal procedure would be that you will be appointed a guardian who would be in charge of you until you came of age, we asked other wizarding families who have distant blood ties to the Gaunts but none wanted to be in charge of you, which leaves you in a somewhat uncomfortable situation, "

"We spoke with the ministry so that they as a magical institution will appoint a guardian for you, but it seems that there was interference from the wizard families and their reason was that only a thoroughbred can be a guardian of another thoroughbred and they must be related to each other and the ministry should not interfere in this "explained the goblin as we continued walking down that corridor

It seems that we continue with the interference of the wizard families, although it seems that this time more than obstructing my way they helped me so that no nosy is snooping in the things that I do

after a silence the goblin continued speaking "after discussing with the ministry and the wizard families they decided to officially name you as the master of the Gaunt family and now you are authorized to dispose of his goods and the vault that is currently in our bank, Congratulations Mr. Gaunt "the goblin finished speaking while smiling at me
