Chapter 7 - chapter 7

January 10, 1968

Today it's been 1 year since I had to talk to mom and dad about the family business today and one happy day for today dad will take me to Gringotts to make the family lord ring dad had a good conversation with the goblins and they agreed to move our vault to a deeper place underground with better defense the goblins promised my father that they will use the best material to forge the ring for our family

Arriving in front of the Single and largest wizard bank in England I see at the door two goblins standing opening the door for whoever comes in. As I get closer I see the comical deed at the entrance to the bank

Come in, strangers, but pay attention to what awaits the sin of ambition,

Because those who take what they didn't earn will have to pay dearly, so if they look under our ground for a treasure they've never buried,

Thief, you've been warned, beware, you'll find more than you've been looking for.

It's pretty funny to read this because we know the bank will be robbed twice in the future and worst of all the second time it will be robbed by three kids who haven't even finished school yet.

Arriving in the hall a goblin comes to greet my father

"Welcome minister, manager Rakiran is waiting for you in the room, I'll take you there" says the goblin as soon as we enter the bank

Following the goblin into a beautiful, well-decorated room, it seems that the tax break my father offered the bank made the goblins very happy.

"Minister Leach was happy with your arrival and Rakiran is grateful for choosing Gringotts to be his bank"

I roll my eyes at this greedy goblin, like there's another bank in the wizarding world I think they should govern the economic life of the whole wizarding world in Europe, by the way I want to slap the other fan-fic creators in the face showing the main character stealing the muggles' gold to sell to the goblins I find that the gold they use is magic and totally different from other muggles they forge with magical materials that only they know the melting process to make the magic coins

"Good morning Rakiran, I'm happy to be welcomed in your bank" replied Leach with a big smile

"This must be your son Hector Leach correct? That the Lordship of the noble house of Leach will be made"

My father starts laughing with happiness seeing that the goblin said we are a noble house I bet if my father wants to, they can even say he has some ancient magical ancestor that the Leach family is a noble and ancient House, I get sick of it this flattery is all that this goblin wants to see the Galeão that we have. Since with a little of my help my father bought 60% of the Butterbeer factory which yields us more than 6,000 galleons a year an amount that could make even a pureblood noble family jealous as today one of the most consumed beverages and our beer now i understand why the mead makers didn't want to let this beer be marketed in the wizarding world

My father told me that next year they are thinking about opening a factory in France and beyond that our NDH paper and parchment shop (Nobby Drusillia and Hector) is now the only feather and parchment supplier to the ministry my father got a contract 300 years to be the only supplier of this type of product contract that yields us more than 3,000 galleons per year, adding all our yielding more than 9,000 galleons every year which is the same thing as a noble family of medium scale .

Just to make it clear the economy of the wizarding world is quite complex since you can think that 9,000 galleons is a lot of money? This amount of money is totally involved and enough for at least 3 generations of our family to live well since wizarding families are expensive to support themselves. First come the feasts that families give with expensive wines and expensive foods

500g of dragon meat costs at least 300 galleons you don't want to be branded rotten after a feast are you can only serve dragon meat and besides wizards don't eat meat from normal animals I think it's some bullshit from some ancient wizard that the non-magical animal meat makes you lose your powers so imagine this theory that is over 800 years old do you think any wizard family will buy regular meat? Now I understand why the Weasleys are starving and it's hard to feed so much of a child when his only income is Mr Weasley's salary. Lost in thought comes back to reality when Rakiran brings a box and opens it in front of me inside the box has 2 rings, one from the Patriarch of House Leach and the other from the heir.

the ring of the Patriarch of the house is gold with purple accents and in the center and engraved a shield with a wand in the middle is on top of the wand a crown of two unicorns on the sides above is written Leach on a band and on the bottom is written in Latin "Prudenter bellum vicimus" which means Wisely we won the war. I was in love with the ring, I have never seen anything so beautiful in my life,

The heir ring is different in color and silver has only a crown in the middle with the two unicorns on the side with the name Leach on top, the heir ring is also beautiful.

Rakiran smiling at me says "We use the best materials to forge the rings only someone with your blood can use the ring in case someone else tries to suffer a curse that will kill in a matter of minutes, now you must cut your finger and sling the blood on us rings so they can recognize your family's blood

Listening to what Rakiran said I cut my finger and drop 3 drops on each ring that absorb the blood like they never had it before I take the patriarch's ring and put it on my right mother's ring finger and the ring automatically helps itself on my finger Rakiran says "Ready ceremony finished the heir ring stays with us and Mr. Leach can come for him when he has a son to inherit his house"

My father is happy about this knowing that now the Leach family will have a place in history in the magical world.

Using the fireplace in the bank we go back home (Yes, there is a fireplace in the bank but only noble families have the right to use it or do you think that the big noble families will go straight to the holed armchair)

Arriving home I see my mother waiting for our arrival and when she sees the ring on my finger she is happy knowing that everything worked out. Today the Leach family is a mixed blood house since my father is a muggleborn and my mother is a pureblood, so I'm a mixed blood and if I marry a purebred girl our children will be a purebred family. thoroughbred is not a purebred holy blood as to be considered a holy purebred family it is necessary that even your great-great-grandmother is a pureblood from both sides of the family both father and mother so our house is eligible to be considered a purebred blood. I'm sad for my father who joined the ministry to give voice to the muggleborns as soon as he knows that his grandchildren and great grandson are going to be pure blood, now I understand why some families are then showing some support for him at this time as there is a great chance that our family can become pureblood
