Ch. 8 All-All of this belongs to my-my family?
Juliette silently enters the Potter's Vault with Arthur and the Goblin. Her heart skipped a beat as her pink hair turns into a green color, looking and feeling scared when she hears the grand doors get slammed shut.
" Follow me," The Goblin firmly tells Juliette and Arthur as the Bank Teller walks past them, and they then guide the two deep into the Vault.
Juliette gulps, feeling nervous and scared since the hallway to Potter's Vault is dimly lighted. She then glanced at Arthur, who gives her a reassuring smile.
" Are you two coming or not?" The Goblin shouts at Juliette and Arthur.
" We're coming," Arthur reassures the Goblin as he gently escorts Juliette deep into the Vault.
Juliette begins to calm down as her green hair turns into her usual Magenta color. She soon stopped walking when she sees the Goblin with his back on her looking forward.
" Okay, this is the Potter's Vault. Miss Potter, you can take as much as you want since you are a Potter," The Goblin bluntly tells Juliette as the Bank Teller turns their gaze to her.
Juliette looks forward, and her Hazel-green eyes widened when she fully sees the Potter's Vault.
[AN: I know The Potter Vault isn't massive like in the movies/books, but in this story, The Potter Family is very much Wealthy.]
" All-All of this belongs to my-my family?" Juliette asked, sounding and looking surprised.
The Goblin nods their head in response.
" This Vault looks more like an underground city than a Vault! Why are there so many doors?" Juliette asked as she walks up the stairs with the Goblin and Arthur closely following behind her.
" The Potter's are An Ancient Pureblood Family. Quite Ancient like the Black's and Lestrange's," The Goblin informs Juliette.
Juliette stopped walking as she looks at her surroundings with a mixture of emotions. She cannot believe her family is wealthy. Heck! She doesn't even know how much money this Vault even has.
" And the reason this Vault has many doors inside is that the Potter's Family owns a lot of treasure," The Goblin explains to Juliette.
Juliette opened and closed her mouth, looking and feeling shocked that her family left her and her younger brother with so much money.
' If Mum and Dad were that wealthy in the Wizarding world, then that must mean they must have known alot of people when they were alive. If that is the case, why Harry and I live in the Muggle world with our Aunt and Uncle?' Juliette asked herself, sounding and looking confused, causing her Magenta hair to turn orange.
Arthur and the Goblin silently stared at Juliette. The two then noticed the girl's hair turned orange.
' If Harry and I are magical, why isn't one of our parents' friends raising us instead?' Juliette asked herself, looking and sounding upset since that lets her know she and her younger brother could have lived in the Wizarding world this whole time.
Arthur frowned when he sees Juliette's orange hair turning into a blood-red color. He recalled seeing the young girl with that specific hair color when she got upset with Percy. He slowly walks up to the child as he gently placed his hand on one of her shoulders.
" Juliette," Arthur softly calls out to Juliette.
Juliette's Hazel-green eyes narrowed as she turns her gaze to Arthur.
" Your wife said that you and she knew me since I was three! That must mean you knew my parents! If so, why weren't you and your wife raising my brother and me after they died? Why did we get sent to live with such horrible Muggle relatives that hate my brother and me for being something that they aren't!" Juliette shouts at Arthur, feeling and sounding furious.
Arthur sadly stared at Juliette since he did learn that many Muggles do not like magical folk because they have something that they don't, which is magic.
" For seven years! My Aunt and Uncle treated my brother and me as though we were demonic children! Even though they didn't say it in front of us, they did say it behind our backs. They never touch us physically because they are scared we will hurt them with magic. But they did hurt us mentally by calling us such awful names! I even recall Aunt Petunia telling Uncle Vernon that she wished my brother and I died alongside our Mum and Dad so that she wouldn't have to raise us!" Juliette screams at Arthur as tears fell from her Hazel-green eyes.
The Goblin silently stared at Juliette when they sense a powerful magical surge surround the young female.
Tears welled up in Arthur's green eyes because he could see that Juliette is intense pain.
" Not only that, but they thought about putting my baby brother in a cupboard underneath the stairs when he was one!" Juliette cries as she recalls Petunia and Vernon arguing about putting a baby Harry Potter in the cupboard underneath the stairs because they didn't want the infant near their precious son, Dudley.
" I managed to save my baby brother's life by scaring them when I thought about being my Mum, and I became her! The look on Aunt Petunia's face was priceless because she must have thought that her dear sister must have possessed her niece and that she came to punish her for thinking about putting her baby in a cupboard underneath the stairs!" Juliette cries, remembering Aunt Petunia looking at her since she was her mother, Lily Potter, with a mixture of emotions and mumbling an apology to her and convincing Uncle Vernon to put Harry in a room while she sleeps in an Attic.
Arthur could not believe what he is hearing. He recalled Headmaster Albus Dumbledore informing him and the rest of the Order of the Phoenix that Juliette and Harry got sent to a safe place and that they would come back to the Wizarding world with profound knowledge about their kind.
' Headmaster Dumbledore. Why did you send two innocent children to a Muggle Family that hated magic?' Arthur asked himself, sounding sad and upset about a man that he respected all his life.
" Juliette. The person who dropped you off to your relatives said that you and Harry would be living in a safe place and that you and your brother would someday return to the Wizarding world with knowledge about your kind," Arthur softly yet calmly explained to Juliette.
Angry tears fell from Juliette's Hazel-green eyes.
Juliette sadly yet furiously stared at the ground. She recalled reading her Hogwarts Acceptance Letter and remembering Headmaster Albus Dumbledore's name. She remembered how he dropped her and Harry at her Muggle relatives' place and then disappearing afterward, leaving her and her younger brother in the cold and with only a single note in her grasp.
" Obviously. This so-called Headmaster did not investigate my Muggle family thoroughly before dropping my brother and me there," Juliette mumbled, feeling angry that Headmaster Albus Dumbledore send her and her brother to their deaths.
" Then again, why did he put us there in the first place and not with a Wizarding family? Obviously. Mum and Dad must have known alot of Magical families if they are wealthy individuals. Their friends could have at least take my brother and me into their homes," Juliette sadly stared at the ground, causing her blood-red hair to turn into a dark blue color.
" I'm so sorry, Juliette," Arthur sadly stared at Juliette.
" If Molly and I knew of the situation, we wouldn't have minded taking you and your brother into our home," Arthur honestly tells Juliette.
Juliette slowly lifts her head as her Hazel-green eyes hopefully stared at Arthur.
" Does-Does that mean you and your wife can take my brother and me out of that awful house?" Juliette asked, looking and sounding hopeful, causing her dark blue hair to turn into light blue color.
Arthur got quiet as he stares at Juliette with a mixture of emotions.
" It-It would be a long process, but I need to speak to my wife first about it," Arthur softly spoke to Juliette.
Juliette nods her head, feeling excited about her and her younger brother leaving the Dursleys.
" So, are you going to get money or not?" The Goblin shouts once he sees that the emotional trauma ended.
Juliette blushes, looking and feeling embarrassed, causing her light blue hair to turn pink since she made a scene in front of Arthur and the Goblin.
" Yes-Yes!" Juliette politely nods her head as she grabs a brown bag from the Goblin's grasp, and she then had Arthur help her put money in the brown bag.
