"Alright, if that's the case, I guess its ok," said Am<strong>and</strong>a, still a bit reluctant. She waved her w<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> a<br />
file appeared in front of her, it wasn't quite as thick as the three that she had had before. Opening it she<br />
read, "Teddy Lupin has the money from both of his parent's accounts, which amounts to about 20000<br />
gallons…"<br />
<strong>Harry</strong> didn't let her finish, "Transfer twenty thous<strong>and</strong> from my account to his."<br />
Am<strong>and</strong>a looked surprised, but nodded <strong>and</strong> scribbled something down on a piece of parchment in the<br />
folder.<br />
Looking at Ginny he was tempted to transfer the same amount to her account, but knew she would be<br />
offended, as would be the rest of the Weasley family if he tried it with their accounts.<br />
"Bill, you'll have those charities ready by Christmas?" <strong>Harry</strong> asked as he <strong>and</strong> Ginny stood.<br />
"Sure, if that's when you want them by," Bill said as he too stood. He shook Am<strong>and</strong>a's h<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
followed <strong>Harry</strong> out of the door. They walked into the lobby of Gringotts <strong>and</strong> then out into the sunlight<br />
of Diagon Ally.<br />
"I'm surprised the goblin's let me keep my inheritance," said <strong>Harry</strong> as soon as they were out side.<br />
"Why?" asked Bill<br />
"Well, the break in," said <strong>Harry</strong>, looking at Bill as if he'd lost his mind.<br />
"Oh, right, I keep forgetting you didn't grow up in the Wizarding world. Goblin's, while very greedy,<br />
are very...trust worthy when it comes to money. They don't steal anything unless they think it's theirs,<br />
<strong>and</strong> even then only if they already have an agreement to get it back. They're beings of their words, <strong>and</strong><br />
if they have a contract they honor it, the only problem is they expect everybody else to do the same,<br />
<strong>and</strong> to do it in the goblin way, hence some of the worst misunderst<strong>and</strong>ings in Wizarding history."<br />
"Right," said <strong>Harry</strong>, kind of hoping Bill wouldn't go on to explain some of those misunderst<strong>and</strong>ings.<br />
"Thanks for the help Bill; we'll see you at Christmas."<br />
"Bye, you two have fun today," said Bill as he started back up the stairs to Gringotts. Once he had<br />
disappeared inside <strong>Harry</strong> <strong>and</strong> Ginny set out to do their neglected Christmas shopping.<br />
They walked down the Ally for a few minutes in silence, looking in the shop windows. Finally Ginny<br />
had had enough <strong>and</strong> said, "We're going to have to talk about it eventually."<br />
"Talk about what?" asked <strong>Harry</strong>, hoping to avoid the subject.<br />
"The money," said Ginny, not to be deterred, "You just became the richest Wizard on the face of the<br />
earth, there is no way that that doesn't mean anything to you."<br />
<strong>After</strong> a few tense moments of silence, in which Ginny thought she might have offended <strong>Harry</strong>, he<br />
spoke. "It does mean something," he said. "It bothers me."<br />
"<strong>What</strong> does," asked Ginny.<br />
"The way I got the money," said <strong>Harry</strong>, "<strong>and</strong> the amount. I knew Sirius was rich, but I didn't know he<br />
was that rich. It kind of makes me wonder what I'm supposed to do with that much money."<br />
"Well you've made a good start, donating some of it," Ginny said as she squeezed h<strong>and</strong>.<br />
"Yeah, but even that wont put a huge dent in it," <strong>Harry</strong> sighed, "<strong>and</strong> once I graduate, I'll be earning my<br />
own money, <strong>and</strong> that will only be a few drops in the pond. I don't want this; people had to die for me to<br />
get this money."<br />
"<strong>Harry</strong>, you don't have to use it," said Ginny, "if you want to earn your own money, than do it. There's
