Chapter 9: The Summer.
Harry walked through the halls of Potter Manor, and entered his room. Everything was just as he remembered it. He unpacked and sat to write down a letter.
Dear Mr. Griphook I send this letter to set up an appointment to discuss our future investments and visit my other vaults. As expected, this meeting should be completely confidential. Harry Potter
HPTLCHarry entered Gringotts on his appointed time. He approached a teller.
"Excuse me sir, I have an appointment with Mr. Griphook. I am Harry Potter." Harry told him. The goblin nodded and told him to wait while he fetched Griphook. A few moments later Griphook arrived and beckoned Harry to follow him. They reached his office and he gestured Harry to have a seat.
"Well then, Mr. Potter, how can I help you?" The goblin asked.
"I need to make investments for all my vaults and I need your advice on some of the ideas I have." Harry told him. The goblin looked surprised for a second and then nodded.
"First of all, I want to invest in both the magical and the muggle world. Muggles have many rising companies and industries in which we can invest safely in and guarantee large profits. Similarly, the magical world also has companies and shops which we can invest in and gain huge profits. I need you to research on all the potential companies and send me a report of it." Harry said. The goblin nodded and noted all of this down.
"You realize this research will take funds and take a lot of time." The goblin warned him. Harry nodded and told him to take all the money needed from the Peverell vault.
"Now that this is out of the way, I need to visit all of the vaults." The goblin nodded and took him to the carts. They visited the Peverell vaults first. Harry headed towards the books and tomes section. He selected all the important books and tomes along with the family Grimoire. He did the same with the other vaults. Harry left the bank after telling Griphook to mail him the results of the research.

Harry spent all of his time in his room reading the books and tomes. He had also seen the Grimoires and learnt a huge load of spells. At the moment, he could only learn the spell and the incantation as he wasn't allowed to use his wand. He would practice them when he went to Hogwarts. So, it was just another day when he was sitting in his room when a regal looking owl tapped on his window. Surprised as he didn't know this owl, he unlocked the window and took the letter from the owl but it didn't leave. He figured it would return with a reply.
Dear Mr. Potter, I know you must be surprised to receive a letter from me. However, it is important that I ask you about this as soon as possible. I would like to extend an offer to you. In the coming year, I can schedule private lessons with you to assist you over your dueling and spell casting. I can assure you that I am quite capable and was a Champion Duelist in my time. I have felt that you have a lot of untapped potential and I would like to help you to harness it. Please inform me of your answer with the owl. Professor Flitwick.
Harry was immensely surprised with the offer. He knew that he could learn a lot from Flitwick as he was an accomplished fighter. He had his doubts but figured that there was no harm in accepting it and seeing what would happen. He returned the letter with an affirmative. He had also got letters from Daphne. She asked whether he wanted to come and stay at Greengrass Manor for the remainder of the holidays. He had politely rejected the offer because he thought it would seem incredibly awkward and weird if he were to stay with them. Maybe sometime in the future after he got to know her even better.
HPTLCToday was the last of the summer. It was also Harry's birthday. He had been surprised that he had received a few gifts when he had been expecting none. First was by Daphne. It was a book on Defence against the Dark Arts. It had many useful spells and Harry decided to practice them when he went to Hogwarts. He had also received chocolates of many varieties from Roger. He figured that Roger didn't really know what to buy him so bought him chocolates. At least he had thought to buy something. Finally he had also received a book from Professor Flitwick. It was A Beginner's Guide to the art of Fighting. It was very informative and apart from fighting spells and stances, it also mentioned ways to gain an advantage over the opponent. He would make sure to thank Professor Flitwick about it.
He had also practiced flying over the past few weeks. He planned to try out for Chaser this year. He really loved flying. It gave him a sense of freedom and he felt invincible in the air. One of the few places where he could really relax. He had also ordered a broom. Even if he didn't get selected, he would still go out flying at Hogwarts. He really anticipated his return to Hogwarts. There was so much he had to practice and learn. Not to mention he could get live practice against Professor Flitwick. Yes, he could not wait to get back to Hogwarts.
A/N: Chapter 9! I am sorry if the writing seems a little off, because I resumed writing after many months so it would take me some time to get back to my writing best. Reviews are greatly appreciated!
