Harry was the epitome of a pureblooded wizard as he strode across the marble floor, focusing on one goblin. Behind him was a nervous but excited Draco Malfoy and an astounded Lucius Malfoy.
The goblin looked up when Harry approached and said in a nasally tone, "What can I do for you, Mr. Malfoy?"
"I am escorting Mr. Potter," Lucius said stiffly. The goblin's eyes narrowed.
"And what can I do for Mr. Potter?"
"Greetings, sir goblin," Harry said in a silky but warning tone. The goblin raised an eyebrow at him. "I have been informed that Gringotts has been attempting to contact me, but have failed. I also have other business to discuss."
The goblin grinned, showing off his pointy teeth. Draco shuddered behind Harry. "Ah, yes. I return your greetings, sir wizard. I will take you to Swordbreaker, your accounts manager. What is your other business?"
"I need a ritual to remove some... unwanted magic inhibiting mine, sir goblin," Harry said vaguely.
The goblin gave him a faintly alarmed look and lowered his voice. "Blocks and compulsions?"
"And controlling potions, sir goblin," Harry agreed.
Instantly, the goblin leapt off of the stool and went over to another goblin, who was standing in the corner keeping an eye on all the customers. After a few minutes of alarmed whispering, the goblin in the corner turned and shouted, "Stormeye!"
After a pause, a smaller goblin ⎯ and a female ⎯ appeared behind them, looking worried. "Yes?"
"Follow me and Stormeye, sir wizard," the goblin who had been helping Harry called to him.
Harry glanced at Draco and Lucius and said, "Wait for me here." Then he walked over to the three goblins.
He was led into one of the back doors, where there was another tunnel, but this one had several doors: double and single, painted several different colors. They passed several doors before the goblin helping Harry stopped, turned, and knocked on a jet black door.
"Enter," said a deep, sharp voice. The goblin opened the door, revealing a desk and yet another goblin.
"Ah, Mr. Potter," the goblin in the office said briskly. "Stormeye."
"Greetings, sir goblin," Harry replied as he walked inside. "I was told you were attempting to contact me, but the letters were intercepted?"
"Greetings, sir wizard," the goblin replied, eyes glittering. "Please sit. Why was Healer Stormeye summoned?"
Harry glanced at the goblin at the door as Stormeye came in and sat down beside Harry. The teller goblin nodded and shut the door.
Once he was sure no one would listen in, he turned back to his account manager. "I have recently discovered that my magic is being inhibited by compulsions, blocks, and controlling potions, as well as a Horcrux and a love potion." He wrinkled his nose.
The goblin ⎯ Swordbreaker ⎯ paled dramatically. "We should remove those at once," he said quickly, pulling a piece of parchment from his desk. "Three drops of blood, sir wizard."
"You may address me as Harry," Harry said absentmindedly as he pulled out his potions dagger and pricked his finger. He squeezed the required amount of blood onto the paper and waited.

"Get these removed," Harry snarled. "Now."
Swordbreaker, who had looked shocked up until that moment, nodded and said, "Stormeye will take you to the cleansing room."
---------------
Tom gripped his hair, trying to block the tears. Clearly, Harry had discovered that he was Voldemort. It explained why he hadn't heard from Harry since he'd told him about his blood test.
What was he going to do?
He cared very much about Harry. It hurt that Harry no longer trusted him, although he didn't blame him. Tom would have done anything for Harry, if the boy would let him. But now that Harry hated him...
His breath caught in his throat and he curled into a ball, sobbing.
---------------
Harry groaned and opened his eyes. "That was excruciating," he remarked hoarsely.
Stormeye laughed and handed him a glass of water. Harry took it with a nod.
Once he'd drunk enough, Stormeye asked, "Would you like to see what you look like now, sir wizard?"
"Yes, thank you, Healer Stormeye," Harry responded, handing the empty glass back. Stormeye conjured a full-length mirror, and Harry staggered to his feet.
Harry looked... a lot more feminine. He was taller, curvy, and that, combined with his long, curly black hair ⎯ well, he looked like a girl. His eyes were wider and more noticeable, especially without his glasses.
Harry blinked. Without his... he didn't need glasses to see!
"Excellent," he said quietly. "What about the Horcrux and my mother's blood protection?"
"Very few rituals will remove the Horcrux," Stormeye responded, handing him his glasses. Harry put them into his robes. "And no rituals will remove the protection. It will continue to protect you from malicious magic until you no longer live with her sister." Sensing Harry's next question, she added, "It could not protect you completely from Dumbledore's magic because it was weak from the Horcrux."
"You removed Dumbledore's block on it?" Harry questioned, rubbing his scar.
"I did."
"Can I communicate with Voldemort through the Horcrux?" Harry asked. When she nodded, he closed his eyes and concentrated. Tom?
Instantly, Voldemort replied, rather angrily. WHO IS THIS? AND HOW DO YOU KNOW MY MUGGLE NAME?
This is your accidental Horcrux, Harry Potter, Harry replied dryly.
There was silence for a long time. Then fury exploded through the connection.
I AM GOING TO DESTROY THAT OLD FOOL!!!!!!!
Harry blinked. What did Dumbledore do this time?
Voldemort growled before answering, It is his fault you are a Horcrux, Potter.
Raising an eyebrow, Harry said amusedly, That does not really answer my question, Tom.
Stop calling me Tom, Voldemort snapped. It's a long story, Potter, he added in a slightly calmer tone.
Let me speak to my accounts manager first, and I'll get back to you, Harry said.
I have all the time in the world, Potter, Voldemort returned sarcastically.
Harry laughed and opened his eyes. Stormeye was watching him patiently.
"Ready to return to Swordbreaker?" she asked.
"Yes." Harry followed her back to the office.
Swordbreaker sat up expectantly when Harry entered, and his eyes widened when he took in Harry's new look.
"Have you finished gawking, Swordbreaker?" Harry asked amusedly, sitting down across from him.
The goblin shook himself. "Yes, Harry, sorry. You are dismissed, Stormeye."
Stormeye bowed, smiled at Harry, and left.
"You had something you wanted to discuss with me?" Harry asked when she'd gone.
"Yes, Harry," Swordbreaker agreed. "Someone has been using your accounts without your permission, and your parents' will was illegally closed. Would you like to have a will reading?"
"Yes," Harry growled. "And I want to see who has been using my accounts."
"Yes, of course," Swordbreaker replied, taking another paper out of his desk. "Tap your wand on this parchment."
Harry pulled out his holly wand and frowned. The connection was weaker. He shrugged and tapped his wand on the paper.
Again, words appeared.

"I want all of my money back, with interest," Harry snarled. Swordbreaker's eyes glittered as he nodded. "And I want the will reading to be in ten minutes."
"So soon?"
"Yes, so soon, it should have been read years ago," Harry replied stiffly.
"Well, of course, Harry," Swordbreaker smirked. It was no secret the goblins hated Dumbledore, and this would set the old fool's plans back for years.
