Inheritance

"When will we be seeing you again princess?" James asked his daughter, watching as she interacted with her friends. "Soon dad." To James' surprise it was Eleana that had replied to him, the response coming so naturally, it was only when Kira smacked her arm that she realised he was talking to Cassiopeia. "Umm sorry, you see, well, you sort of adopted us all in the future, it's hard to explain." Eleana said awkwardly trying to back track on her reply.

"Moving on from that lovely interaction, I think we should eat something, or at least have a drink." Percy said adding the last part when he saw the expression on Cassiopeia's face. "I agree we should have a little break." With that being said an abundance of food appeared before each person along with a variety of drinks.

"What's the matter?" Percy asked seeing the pout displayed on Cassiopeia's face, "I want dragonfruit, ohhh or pomegranate but I can't see any." She whined. Her pouting swiftly ended when Percy handed her a bowl of the fruits, "here you go, agápi." Soon everyone's attention once again returned to the screen as it began the next scene.

The shooting stars, dressed in beautifully designed clothes, were seen walking down a street in London before entering a little pub, the Leaky Cauldron. Once they entered they walked up to the bar and waited patiently for the bar tender, a middle aged man, to come over to them.

"How can I help you kids?" He asked with a welcoming smile as he looked over the counter at them, "we need to access the ally please, our parents are waiting for us on the other side." Eleana replied, intentionally trying to look as innocent as possible. "Of course kids." He responded leading them out the back door and into a little dead end where he tapped a pattern into the wall.

"Thank you very much sir," this time it was Alex who spoke as they walked into the ally. "Did you memorise it Cynthia?" Jake sake the girl that was walking with her arm linked in his, "of course I did bluejay," she replied a soft smile on her face as reached out to hold onto Kira's hand with her gloved one.

They walked in silence down the bright street, one destination in mind, Gringotts. Entering the white building they bowed gently to the goblins on the door before making their way to an unoccupied goblin teller. Waiting patiently for the goblin to finish what he was doing they stood quietly as they observed him. "How can I help you?" The goblin asked in a harsh raspy voice.

"Merry meet master goblin teller, May your enemies fall before you. We are in need of inheritance tests please." Cassiopeia answered bowing slightly as the others did. The traditional reply startled the goblin who paused to study the children before him for a moment, "and May your gold forever flow, what are your names young ones?" The goblin continued after a moment.

After each introduction themselves the goblin led them out of the main hall and down a series of corridors. While walking Cassiopeia allowed Jake to lead her as she studied the hallways they were being led down. "In here is Gripclaw, he will help you." The goblin said before leaving them. "Did you memorise the halls, Cassy?" Eleana asked looking curiously at her sister who simply smiled and nodded.

"You memorised the hallways of Gringotts?" James asked stunned. A soft chuckle was the only reply he got from Cassiopeia however Alex replied "she has incredible memory, not to mention intellect so really it's rather easy for her." His answer received aww struck looks from the others within the hall.
'She is a useful tool' Dumbledore thought for a moment but then remembered, she may not be easily swayed.

A moment passed before the door in front of them flew open to reveal another goblin who invited them in. With a bow they all entered the room, it was large with a wide, black marble table stretching across the middle, a single red seat on one side and a row of black velvet chairs on the other, the walls where lined with shelves containing a verity of books and artefacts as well as a couple of paintings.
