Harry Potter The Kiss

As a beaming Madam Malkin wished them a good day, while calculating how much extra business supplying Harry Potter's wedding robes would bring. They said goodbye to Dan and Dobby while heading for Gringotts.

"I see from today's Prophet that you're keeping busy. The acting Chief Wizard dies and twenty-one members of the Wizengamot resigned, you certainly don't do things by half." said an impressed Neville

"You can't believe everything you read in the prophet, yet! We actually only had details on eighteen so our threat worked better than we thought." Laughed Hermione

As they reached the top of Gringotts steps Neville and Winky departed for Hogwarts, while the Potters continued into the bank for their first meeting of the day.

Narcissa entered the room to find Harry and Hermione sitting having tea, laughing and joking with two goblins, when she heard the identity of the elder goblin she was confident she'd made the right choice. Her life would never be dull or lonesome again.

They were discussing Stag Industries when Hermione jokingly offered Ragnok a job, both knew as a national leader he couldn't accept but it was a little tit-for-tat payback – she was definitely spending too much time with Ginny!

Ragnok left as Harry offered her a seat.

"Take a seat Miss Black, we're hoping you may have some good news for us" he said.

"I'm really Miss Black?" she asked with hope in her voice.

It was Griphook who answered, "the matter is being dealt with as we speak, Lord Black and Lord Gryffindor have signed the paperwork which is currently being processed at the ministry. May I be the first to congratulate you Miss Black on the annulment of your marriage."

Narcissa sat there stunned at how much this young couple had changed her world and came to the conclusion there was only one thing to do, she drew her wand and swore allegiance to the House of Potter.

Harry smiled, "thank you, it's appreciated but not a requirement of the arrangement."

Narcissa bowed formally, "I know my Lord which was all the more reason to carry it out, that and I would like to apply for the position of your private secretary."

"Oh thank Merlin, I might actually get some time alone with my husband!" this was said with such feeling that they couldn't help but laugh at Hermione's predicament.

Hermione handed over her notes and appointments with unconcealed glee while Harry explained a vault would be arranged for any expenses or supplies required. Hermione pointed out that wardrobe would be classed as supplies and they already had an account at Malkin's for Potter use.

She was then informed that their first meeting was now so they left towards another room.

Narcissa was steeling herself all the way down the corridor muttering, "you can do this" under her breath but she walked into the room and immediately burst into tears.

Tonks was a very happy young woman. She'd been asked by Harry Potter to bring her mum and dad to Gringotts today where Sirius Black had met them, the hugs and reminiscing had started immediately. When he announced her mother's reinstatement to the Black family line, she didn't think her mother could get any happier.

That theory was disproved minutes later when Harry and Hermione entered with a blond woman causing her mother to squeal "Cissi!" before enveloping the now crying woman in a hug that must have done some rib damage. She may be out of work but Tonks was certain she had made the right decision when publicly tending her resignation, there were things in life a lot more important than gold.

Sirius approached Harry and Hermione putting an arm round each of them before admitting, "Ok, you were right, this is better than pranking."

The goblins working at Gringotts could never remember when their bank had resounded to the sound of so much laughter as the sound was again filling the corridors where the Lord and Lady Gryffindor held their meeting. They really were the golden couple, loved by everyone except the pureblood elitists who treated the goblins like shit and were now watching terrified as their power base crumbled around them. Yes, it was a good time to work in Gringotts.

They had eventually got everyone calmed down enough to sit round the table but when Harry and Hermione looked towards Narcissa, her bewildered expression nearly started the laughter again.

Hermione saying, "you'll have to excuse our new secretary, it's her first day in the job," proved too much and laughter again filled the room.

Narcissa sheepishly looked through the folder she had been given and was surprised to see documents on her sister, her husband and their daughter. They were also indexed and colour coded which left her thinking, 'shit, I'm really going to have to work for my money' it was only then she realised they'd never even discussed the subject. She wasn't bothered as, like her niece, Narcissa was discovering some things in life were more important than gold.
