Chapter 19 - Inheritance test

"Can I ask you about a few of these points-- Oh my Goodness I'm so sorry I didn't get your name?" I said apologetically.

"No need to worry Miss Jenkins it's Ripsaw, and you can ask me anything and I will try to answer to the best of my ability," Ripsaw said with a monotone voice, though I managed to catch I hint of surprise that I bothered to ask him for his name.

"Okay well for starters, one of my Godfathers, Sirius Black, he's in Prison, why is that? What did he do?" I asked Ripsaw. Ripsaw looked surprised that I didn't know.

"Well, the famous story was that he was a spy for the dark lord and he killed thirteen muggles and a wizard. It's also said he is the reason that the Potter family were killed... But considering he never actually got a trial there's a possibility that the ministry got the wrong man, but if he's been in Azkaban for just over a decade there's a high chance that your Godfather's already gone." He replied.

I was glad to know the truth, but the thought of him being the reason Harry's parents were killed angered me greatly. I took a deep breath to make sure I stayed calm.

The last thing I need is to blow up this bloody office.

"You sound as though you believe him to be innocent by the way in which you speak of it," I said suspiciously. "And why didn't he get a trial?"

"No, most of the Goblins believe him to be innocent, Sirius Black wasn't the type of person who would go to the dark side. The Black family is a dark wizarding family, not that it's a bad thing to be dark but light witches and wizards see it as being evil which isn't true but anyway, the Blacks have all been in Slytherin since anyone can remember, but not Sirius, he was a Gryffindor, you can guess how his family took it. Sirius never really fit in with his family he didn't believe in pureblood supremacy he made friends with half-bloods and Muggle-borns and halfbreeds alike -  and his family hated him for it, he was even disowned whilst he was still at school. And for why he never got a trial, I don't know. Goblins don't get involved with Ministry business unless we have to," I took in the information thoughtfully and decided I'd think about it later.

"Right okay, next question, my Grandmother on my father's side was from the Romano family? I'm assuming that it's a pureblood family in Italy, right?" I asked making the Goblin nod.

"Okay, and why is it that I'm Lady to Ravenclaw and Slytherin? I thought that since my family was from Italy that I wouldn't be related to any English Families let alone two founders?"

"You're right The Jenkins family has some Italian origin, but Jenkins isn't really an Italian name is it?" Ripsaw said scoffing. "Well, it's because Even though the Jenkins Family has been based in Italy for just over three hundred years it was originally from England hence why it's an English name."

"And as for why your Lady to the Ravenclaw and Slytherin house, since the family lines ended so long ago for the Ravenclaw house it's chosen someone who is worthy of having that title which is why that on your parchment it says "By right of Magic" next to it, it's because the Ravenclaw house has chosen you."

I nodded slowly slightly overwhelmed, I only expected to have a quick test to see if I could find out any more about my dad's side of the family and I've found out all of this, to say I was absolutely flabbergasted was a serious understatement.

"O-Okay, and Lady to Slytherin? It doesn't say "By right of Magic," It says "Paternal" means through my father's side?" I asked.

"Yes well, as I said before the Jenkins family was originally from England so your family most likely intertwined with the Slytherin line then, which would most likely be the Gaunts which explains why you're a Parseltounge as the Gaunts were one of the remaining families from the Slytherin line. You are lady to the Slytherin house, and therefore Hier to its names, fortune, and status."
