It was accompanied by a pair of earrings, a ruby stud with a teardrop emerald attached. Sirius saw what he was looking at, and smiled. "Your father gave that to your mother for her seventeenth birthday. He completed the set a few years later when he gave her an engagement ring." Sirius pointed to the ring in question. It definitely matched. The rose gold band was engraved to resemble tree bark, and was studded with small rubies evenly all the way around. There was a modest sized diamond on top, framed on either side with a small emerald. Harry was entranced. "I can take anything other than money out of the vault, right?" he asked quietly. Sirius chuckled and nodded, producing a case for Harry to reverently place the necklace and earrings into. He left the ring for now, but he didn't think he'd get a chance to come back to Gringotts before Christmas, and he knew just the person to give this present to.

The first was a regular compartment, though magically expanded to be much larger on the inside. The second was for hanging up clothes that he didn't want wrinkled. The third compartment was a portable library, with enough space to hold up to five hundred books. The fourth was for holding odds and ends, again magically expanded. It would be useful for his broom, cauldron, and telescope. And the fifth was a special compartment to hold potions ingredients so that they wouldn't roll around or get mixed up. They had a very nice afternoon, and the adults made plans for an end of the year party to take place on the thirty-first, as a last send off for the children before the school year ended. Hopefully, Sirius would be able to attend as a free man. So, I'm fairly sure my numbers for the Potter and Gryffindor wealth seem exceedingly high. I just want the point to get across that Harry is stinking rich. And the Gryffindor vault hasn't been used for years, so I figure all that money's been sitting there accruing interest for almost a thousand years. Please don't harp on how unlikely it is for ...
