“So, pound for your thoughts?” Harry asked, gng at Luna as the goblin warhem to hold on tight.
The cart began to lurch forward, quickly pig up speed as it sped through the dark, twisting passages otts. Harry braced himself, the wind whipping through his hair, while Luna seemed to be deep in thought.
“I thought I was going to use my sight to have fun and mess with everyone while I made millions oock market,” Luna stated rather bndly, her voice steady despite the wild ride. “Instead, we are married, and now Dumbledore is aware of us.”
Harry chuckled, though his grip on the cart's sides remaiight. “Life does have a way of taking ued turns, doesn’t it? Although it is a lot more fun like this.”
Luna sighed, her golden eyes refleg the faint glow of the runes on the cart. “It’s more than that, Harry. There are so many things I’ve wao do and I wao rex for the first decade or two be a kid and all ya know? But now here we are.”
The cart took a sharp turn, and Harry felt his stomach lurch. “Yeah, I get that. It’s a lot to take in. But I trust you, Luna. We’ll figure this out together.”
Luna smiled a rare, genuine smile that lit up her face. “Thank you, Harry. Your trust means alot to me.”
An so they sat in silenpting.
After what felt like ay, the cart began to slow, emerging into a vast underground cavern. The ceiling was lost in shadows, and the ptform they arrived at was illuminated by torches with flickering blue fmes.
“Please, follow me,” the goblin said, stepping off the cart.
As they followed the goblin, Harry couldn’t help but marvel at the sheer scale otts. “Why do we o e so deep intotts?” he asked.
“The deeper we go, the older the family vaults and since we are bring up some legacy families
They approached a massive, ornately carved door set into the cavern wall. The goblin produced a rge, intricate key and ied it into the lock. The door swung open silently, revealing a grand room filled with desks and various goblins busy with paperwork.
“Wait here while I fetch the at managers,” the goblin instructed before scurrying off.
Harry gnced around the room, marveling at the sheer size and opulehis pce is incredible,” he murmured.
“Princess, Mr. Peverell.” the lead goblin said with a bow, “I am Sharpbsp; and we have gathered all of the goblins here which manage your many ats so that we may met out a deal.”
“Right first things first Harry needs his magic blocks taken off.” Luna states
“I did that already Luna.” Harry responds
“Huh? You did? Weird my sight usually isn’t wrong.” Luna mutters
“You know what just check me anyways.” Harry says looking at the goblins.
Luna nodded, her demeanor calm and posed. “Thank you, SharpCw. Let's begin with removing Harry's magic blocks. It’s crucial for our future.”
SharpCw gestured to anoblin who stepped forward, carrying a small, ornate box. “Mr. Peverell, please pce your hand on this artifact. It will s for any residual magic blocks.”
Harry did as instructed, feeling a faint hum of magic as the artifact began its work. The goblins watched ily as runes glowed softly oifact’s surface.
“There are indeed a few remaining blocks,” the goblin said after a moment. “We will proceed with the removal ritual.”
“Princess would you like some blood while we await for the ritual to be set up?” A goblin asks as the entire party is led over to a ritual room on the same floor.
Luna flinches slightly “Stop calling me princess and yes dragon blood preferably.”
======================================
SharpCw led them to a circur area in the ter of the room, marked with intricate runes and symbols. “Stand in the circle, Mr. Peverell. The ritual will require both your and Miss Peverell’s magic to be eled together.”
Luna suddenly looked up from her cup of blood, the green-colored blood still on her lips. “My magic as well?”
“Yes, seeing as you are both betrothed, it is what would be best for dear Hadrian,” SharpCw stated.
“You need not expin further then,” she said, as Harry and she stepped into the circle, fag each other.
“Pce your hands together,” Sharpstructed.
Harry and Luna csped hands, feeling a surge of magic flow between them. It was then that a goblin wearing robes began to t. The light intensified, f a co around them. Harry could feel the blocks dissolving, the restris on his magic lifting one by one.
As the final block was removed, the light faded, and the t ceased. Harry felt a newfound sense of freedom, his magic flowing more freely than ever before.
“It is done,” SharpCw said, a hint of satisfa in his voice. “Yic is now unblocked, Mr. Peverell.”
“Wow… That took a lot,” Luna said, looking rather faint.
Harry immediately steadied her, etched on his face. “Are you alright, Luna?”
“I’m fine, just a bit… drained,” Luna replied, her voice soft. “Sharing magic like that is something else.”
Sharpodded. “It is to be expected. The unblog ritual requires a signifit amount of magical energy, especially from those who are bonded as you two are. Although it is usually rumored to be extremely pleasurable for those who were drained of magic.”
“I see.. Thank you, SharpCw,” Harry said. “What’s ?” Hoping to avoid the topic as he grabbed hold of the wobbly Luna.
“Another cuppa dragon blood would be nice,” Luna says aloud.
“It is being got as we speak.” Sharpcw states
“Why are you all so o us?” Harry asks
All of the goblins look to Luna who looks back at them fused.
“Because your family is an ally of the goblin nation.” Sharpswers.
SharpCw gestured for them to sit at a nearby table where the at managers had gathered. “Now, we shall review your assets and holdings. Each manager will provide a detailed overview of the respective family’s ats.”
The Potter at maepped foward, Introduced himself as Goldfang, and abrubtly began, “The Potter vaults tain a signifit amount of gold, rare artifacts, and several properties across the wizarding world. Among these are estates in Godric’s Hollow, a manor in Devon, and a coastal retreat in wall. A home in both norway and france aswell although the ditions of those properties are unknown. Additionally, there are iments in various magical businesses, including a siderable stake in the Daily Prophet and several potion and apothecary businesses.”
Harry aking in the information. “We’ll need access to the properties for safe houses aings. Ehe manor in Devon is ready for immediate use.”
, the Peverell at maepped foward, an elderly goblin named Ironcw, spoke. “The Peverell vaults hold powerful magical artifacts, and stasis charmed potions and other relics. There is also a colle of aomes on dark magid Neancy. These tomes are particurly valuable, due to rumors that they tain knowledge that has been lost to time.”
Luna’s eyes looked forward with disgust. “Neancy What a vile Arte. We o ehey are protected and accessible only to us we ot have humaing their hands on those, they might be best off destroyed.”
All of the goblins look to Luna in shock for a brief moment before returning to their professional demeanor.
The Bck family at manager, a stern goblin eelhand, detailed their assets . “The Bck vaults are extensive, with siderable wealth, dark artifacts, and numerous properties, including Grimmauld Pce. There are also several businesses uhe Bck family’s trol, including a of high-end wizarding boutiques and a publishing house. Although there have been several ret with draws not from you so we will have to iigate that.” The blood thirsty grin on the goblins face would terrify anyone.
Harry made a mental note. “Grimmauld Pce will serve as a tral base in London. E’s fully secured and warded. Find those who stole from us a our money back… For a fee of course.”
All goblins in the room genuinely smiled at that.
The Gryffindor and Slytherin at managers, both goblins of impressive stature named Goldtooth and Silvereye, respectively, Gryffindor reported simir wealth and artifacts. The Gryffindor vaults included legendary relics such as Gryffindor’s sword and armor, while the Slytherin vaults were empty and derelibsp;
SharpCw then stepped forward with a final revetion. “There is one more matter of great importance. Ravencw family vaults are not here at hogwarts however since You two married are a total of 3 of the 4 founding families now own Hogwarts Castle itself. This means you should have signifit influence over the school and its operations.”
Harry and Luna exged a look of astonishment. “We own Hogwarts?” Harry asked, incredulous.
“Yes,” SharpCw firmed. “This ownership grants you the authority to make decisiarding the school’s administration, curriculum, and defenses.
“Right, lets cim our lord and dyships and call it dohen.” Harry states getting off of the couch suprising the goblins.
“What?” Sharpcw asks
“You did bring the rings did you not? I am fident my husband an myself are more than capable of being reized by our family magics.” Luna states

Dumbledore couldn’t find the pair. He didn’t know what to do but having two students go missing at the start of the year wasn’t good… although there was still 4 hours till sunrise so hopefully they would be back soon.
===
Harry and Luna both mao make the long-distance apparition to Hogsmeade.
“Yes, I uand that you told me, so I am just w how that man mao get more loy magic?” Harry said.
“I mean, if you did it in the castle, he has wat the entire pce via the ghosts and the paintings,” Luna stated.
“Ah, yes, that would make sense… So he’s gonna know that we got back?” Harry asked quietly as the two walked into the mairance.
“Of course he is. He is Albus Dumbledore. He knows everything,” Luna stated both dramatically yet with a sarcastic twist to it.
“Huh, hought of that,” Harry stated.
Dumbledore had finally made it to the entrance hall. The wards had told him that the true aor and Harry were back, so now he just had to ambush them.
That was the moment in which Luna stood ooes and kissed Harry on the cheek.
“I must go get ready for breakfast, my dear Oberon. I shall see you then,” Luna said a little louder than normal talking volume as suddenly white glowing wings appeared on her bad she vanished, reappearing on Hrounds.
“HARRY POTTER!”
