A/N: Okay, I feel so guilty for not posting in like forever, but I'm rather lazy, and trying to achieve a perfect 4.0 GPA is rather hard. Truthfully I had the majority done, but just didn't really try to put it up until now. Thanks for sticking with the story!

In fact I'd like to thank blueopaljc for reviewing as well as everyone else.

By the time Mina awoke there were four things she knew for sure was happening.

One, Remus was chastising Sirius and James for their behavior towards Mina as they must have done something wrong to her during the short bit of talking that made her faint.

Two, Mina was lying on James' lap in a rather uncomfortable position as he kept laughing rambunctiously.

Three, Sirius was paying not a single bit of attention towards Remus, but was instead laughing at Remus himself for having a girl "fall" for him.

And four, Mina believed James was just realizing she was waking up judging by his now silent behavior.

So as to not embarrass herself even more she slowly got up only to be met with Remus' concerned face, James' half-amused and half-concerned face, and Sirius' amused and somewhat concerned face.

As most girls probably would have done themselves, Mina got up as quickly as she could; she then squeaked out a simple apology and ran straight inside the house, not even glancing back at the stunned boys. First thing in order, get house-elves immediately so she could erect wards and hopefully never have to go through that embarrassment again.

Making sure that the boys were no longer in her backyard before she left, Mina sighed in relief when she realized that they were no longer there and flooed to Gringotts after all, time is of the essence. Plus from what Remus had told her, was that the Marauders tired easily and when they got bored, they did things they probably shouldn't.

Potter's Mansion: Remus, James, & Sirius

"Well that was just odd." Remus commented lying on his bed in the boys' room.

"Yep, that was Mooney, buddy pal." Sirius replied bouncing a bouncy ball on the ceiling atop of his bed.

"We can't make any judgments after all we did barge into her property." James rationally spoke from his own bed.

"Very true, plus it really must have been awkward waking up on your lap, Jaimsey-poo!" Sirius cooed.

Blushing now a rather great rose pink, James replied, "Well, Mooney was the one she literally fell for."

Blushing now himself, Remus began to look much like Ronald when any howlers came for him, Remus shot back, "But you were the one she fell onto, therefore she fell for James!"

"I wonder where she went." Sirius thought out loud. "Well no matter, we all know that lovely lady fell for my charmingly dashing looks and charisma."

And with that statement said all three equally handsome young lads lay each wondering about the mysterious girl they had just met that afternoon.

Gringotts: Mina

So, Mr. Ragnok, I really appreciate all the help you've given me. I know you must be busy what with being the head of Gringotts."

The sharp-toothed goblin simply ignored the thanks he received and continued talking.

"Now the pay-checks you are currently receiving will force you to get a new, larger vault, is that alright with you? The goblin sharply asked handing Mina the estimated amount of money she was to receive and the vault she had to now get.

Shocked at all the paperwork Mina simply nodded as Ragnok continued.

"Now your request to receive a list of all current for sale house-elves has been, of course, accepted and we have compiled a list of house-elves with experience, family, past owners, cost, and the wait period they have left if they do not receive a new owner, and as requested I'll give you a couple of minutes to look them over before you choose which ones are acceptable to your taste. Also I have a collection of sample uniforms that you may look at they may be bought at Madame Malkin's Robes for All Occasions." Ragnok continued to drone on. "Now the best of the best house-elves, but also the priciest are on the top of the list and the crux of the house-elves are the cheapest at the bottom. All of these prices are bargain able, however with your new-found fortune it would be wise as to not as if the public finds words of this they will suspect you are having money-problems and will give you and Gringotts quite a headache."

Now handed another equally stack of large papers Mina furiously read in order to finish what was need to be done.

Five Hours later:

Mina had finally finished reading all the credentials of hundreds of house-elves available. However not knowing the wise amount of house-elves to get and which were good for her she asked Ragnok.

To this question Ragnok droned on just like Professor Binns, "I would suggest for the plot of estates that you have, five would be acceptable for the house in Godric's Hollow, however as you will not be living there I would suggest the best of the best and perhaps one family. Now as for Block Mansion I would suggest one hundred house-elves; twenty-five for your expansive gardens, twenty-five for your delicate library; twenty-five for your kitchens; and twenty-four for your everyday things. One house-elf you should promote to head house-elf and you should also choose one house-elf to be vice head house-elf of each sub-division."

With this in mind Mina went back to the huge list and began checking off the house-elves she wanted.

Two Hours later

Mina finally chose the 100 house-elves Ragnok had predicted she needed plus ten more. Exhausted she merely handed the list to Ragnok and went to look at the samples of uniforms.

The uniforms luckily went by much easier then choosing the house-elves to buy and in the end she was quite satisfied with the choices she had made.

One problem, however, for Mina was that the uniforms required her family crest. Seeing as she had no previous crest, Mina needed to create her own crest to signify her House of Block. Grudgingly Mina began to draw a sketch of the desired crest.

Another hour later and Mina had finished sketching her desired crest and handed the design to Ragnok who took it and started to speak.

"Now, Miss Block with this design we have made your crest ring which you must keep until you marry where it will then be given to your husband. However, you may wear it if you like. The crest will also be added to your house-elves uniforms. Now the house-elves you have selected, only two are free so if you will go to Conference Room one, I will arrange for the meetings for the other house-elves. The free house-elves will be there momentarily, free house-elves desire no pay and you pay nothing for them. Now after you accept them I will bring in the owners of the other house-elves. There will be a money bag that will allow you to draw money out as well as a magical check for the pricier ones."

With a tired nod Mina scurried off to Conference Room one, and saw the checkbook and moneybag waiting on one of the lavish side tables accompanied by an arrange of ornate snacks, such as a three gold tier cake adorned with pink eatable decorations.

A knock quickly echoed into the room, however before Mina could cut a slice from the cake and with a sigh she then let in the first owner and the house-elves that were for sale.

A burly man around the age of his forties came in with what seemed to be a legion of house-elves with him. "It is my pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Block. Now I understand you're interested in this lot of house-elves?"

"The pleasure is all me, I'm afraid, Mr. . . . . .? With a rustle of papers and an equally rustled Mina; she continued, "Mr. Brocklehurst. Now I have a few questions for you before we begin this transaction."
