No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion
Chapter 909 Useless Heir
"Sirius probably didn't ask you to retrieve his family's accounts, but you sent me fifteen years' worth." Lupin was very calm. After all, he was the director of the old Foster's workshop. He was a little gentle, but not stupid. He survived by himself after his parents died. Otherwise, James would not have asked him to help him follow him when he was handling the inheritance.
Sirius looked around like a stupid dog, thinking, why can't I understand what these people say? Did Lupin grow a brain without telling me in the past twelve years?
Faye was not afraid of him at all. She sneered and said, "Little Petunia asked me to do that. I have to let Sirius see how much his parents tried. They tried their best even for an unfilial son."
Sirius was stunned for a moment, and looked at his parents' account books at that time. Sure enough, there were only big incomes, but no big expenditures. From their accounts, it can be seen that after Regulus' death, his parents began to rearrange their property. If there was a Regulus family, Regulus would naturally take care of the property. However, without him, the Black family only had such an unfilial son. What can they do? Sell the property except the main house. Then put it in the vault, and don't make any inheritance instructions. What else can you expect from this unfilial son? Just leave him money.
So the Black family had no inheritance statement, only a room and a vault of gold. That was the silent sorrow of the Blacks, and also the love that could not be expressed.
Sirius's little conscience was touched, and he covered his face and cried bitterly.
But Lupin was in no mood to care about Sirius. He just stared at Faye and said, "When James was handling his parents' estate, I was the one who accompanied him. Now, the estate that little Harry inherited doesn't match, and I can't even check the numbers?"
"No, unless you can prove that you are the agent of Mr. James's property, or Mr. Harry's agent, then we can help you check." Faye would not affect her reputation for others. She took the account book back from Sirius and erased it. Now Lupin had no evidence, so he asked Sirius to sign the receipt, and he completed the whole process. He nodded to them and then left invisibly. It was as if he had never been there.
"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with little Harry?" Sirius stopped crying and looked at Lupin strangely.
"It's okay." For the first time, Lupin didn't want to share with Sirius. He had told Sirius before, but Sirius didn't listen to a word. Now he didn't want to say it either, but in his heart he looked up to little Harry even more. After all, he was James' child. Even though he knew that nearly 70% of his property was gone, he didn't have a trace of greed in the face of Sirius's huge wealth. This child's character was really good.
Lupin got up and went back to his room. He remembered that James once asked him to help with some bank matters and wrote him a letter of authorization. However, because James died soon after, he carefully kept the letter as a commemoration. Now he didn't know whether he could use it.
Sirius didn't understand, but when he thought about his parents still worrying about him, he felt guilty towards them for the first time.
Lupin went back and found the letter. The next day, he went to Gringotts Fay's office in Hogsmeade Village and handed the letter to Fay. On it, James asked him to go to Gringotts Bank to complete a remittance. Then on the second page was another letter authorizing Remus Lupin to be his agent and have full authority to operate his vault.
At that time, James didn't know he was going to die, he was hidden, and he was afraid that if the Order of the Phoenix needed money, it would not be able to withdraw it, so he gave Lupin full authority. It was not a one-time thing, which was also made clear in the previous letter.
"Mr. Lupin, this letter and authorization are both real, but I must say that if Mr. James were alive, this authorization would be useful. But now, Mr. James is dead." Fay spread his hands with regret. "Mr. Fay, I know, so what I want to check now is the accounts before James' death. I have the right to do so." Lupin had also thought about it at home. It was estimated that Fay would not agree to let him check the accounts after that, but as long as he could check the total amount of the vault from the moment James died, it would be fine.
"Then we can only check the transaction records from the time you obtained the authorization to the time when Mr. James passed away." Faye looked at the letter and the authorization again and said seriously.
"Okay." Lupin nodded.
Fay wrote a time period, added Lupin's authorization letter, and asked his subordinates to retrieve it. Lupin sat opposite Fay in silence.
"Mr. Lupin, you should know that if 'Little Petunia' didn't ask little Harry to retrieve it, it would be a waste of time for you to come and retrieve it." Faye summoned two cups of hot tea, drank a sip calmly, and then spoke slowly. The meaning was very clear, if 'Little Petunia' wanted to know, she could just ask Harry to check it, but she didn't let Harry do so because she didn't want to make the matter complicated.
"I know, but I'm James' friend, I can't let James' child be so miserable. He was obviously bullied, but he couldn't even say anything!" Lupin thought of James's carefree smile. James had never been wronged, from childhood to adulthood. He got married and had children. The most wronged thing in life might be the time when he was hunted, ran away, and hid. But Harry had been alone since he was a child, and when he finally returned to the wizarding world, 70% of his property was gone.
Yesterday he also thought a lot, for example, Sirius's parents, knowing that he was not a man who could get things done, closed all their businesses and only left money for Sirius. So what about James's parents? They doted on their children, but they also had a clear understanding of their children, so, like Sirius's parents, they left a manor and a vault, believing that their son could live a comfortable life even if he did nothing.
So, in the minds of old Black and old Potter, James and Sirius must be so useless to make this happen.
Fei doesn't care, as long as it is legal and compliant.
The banknotes were quickly withdrawn, and Lupin took a look. The money he had withdrawn was the only expenditure during that period. And this money was given to Dumbledore to pay for the expenses of the Order of the Phoenix. After all, gathering information and activities everywhere require funding. A small piece of brown paper with an explanation in the front made the cause and effect relationship clear. Lupin nodded, put the explanation and the banknotes into his arms, and took back the letter. Faye didn't need this, and the authorization was not originally needed, but James died, so this authorization was directly put into the bank system, indicating that it was invalid.
Lupin did not go to Harry, but to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore was quite happy to see Lupin and enthusiastically offered him candy. (End of this chapter)
