Once we were in Gringotts, we started heading for the School's funds.
"Head Banker Yaglsmick. May your enemies flee before you." Dumbledore said.
"Headmaster Dumbledore. May your Gold flow freely." Yaglsmick looked at him over the top of his glasses.
"I would like to access Hogwart's funds. We have a new teacher we need to pay in advance."
"Oh?" Yaglsmick looked at me and blinked in shock for a second. "Outsider?" He asked shocked.
"What?" I frowned. "No, I was given my powers by the Outsider. But I'm not him."
"Hmm.... I'm sorry. But your aura seemed extremely similar. Accept my apologies."
"How do you know The Outsider Yaglsmick?" I asked.
"He talked to us about opening an account for one he said we would recognize as himself." Yaglsmick said. "It seems we have finally found him."
"He opened an account for me?" I asked in shock.
"Yes, Put in a significant amount of Galleons as well." Yaglsmick smirked. He got up off his chair and walked to us. "I'll bring you down to the vault myself." We followed him while Dumbledore seemed surprised. I merely shrugged helplessly at him. I had not expected this.
"Well, I guess I have no reason not to play this song then." I shrug as I put on the next song.

"Hmm... Your choice is song is familiar." Yaglsmick frowned "But I can't seem to put my finger on it." He activated the cart on the tracks and we began to plummet down deep. After a little bit, it seemed we were about to continue on straight, but we stopped and a hidden passageway appeared, as well as a set of tracks going to it. The cart veered onto the track and we began to move through it. It was lit with lanterns instead of the torches behind us. We eventually hit the end of the track and we all got out. Yaglsmick looked at me.
"When we constructed this door. The Outsider told us the only the ones chosen by him would be able to open it." I frown and went to inspect the door. In it was scorched the Outsider's mark of course. But underneath it was also a heavily intricate V. I put my hand on it and It felt completely.... Empty for lack of a better word. I think I knew what I had to do. I take my glove off. revealing my mark.

I take a deep breath and began to absorb all of the void magic in the area, I then put all of it in my fingers and began to trace the mark and the V. When I had finished, they both began to glow and the door cracked down the middle, sliding to the sides instead of up into the roof like usual. When I looked inside. I gaped. In one corner of the room was literally hundred of galleons. And on the other end of the room was a shrine to the outsider. Obviously he wanted to talk to me once I got here. I walk inside and immediately went for the shrine. Everyone followed me inside and was confused when i put my hand on the shrine. (Skip to 0:32 end at 0:42)

"Ah... Xayvier." The Outsider smirked at me.
"Outsider. What are you doing? I thought you didn't want to interfere in mortal lives. Your just pushing them to be more entertaining for you." At this The Outsider's smirk faded.
"I don't think you know. But my time is near."
"What?" I asked in shock.
"Billie Lurk is growing ever closer to me. And when she does deal with me, The void will be left unattended." The Outsider looked at the ever expansive shroud of gray and light and dark surrounding us. "Unlike what you belive. The Void is a sapient thing. It is not something that we simply use. Even before I came, the void added it's powers to people. But it didn't have anything specific it was aiming for. I simply refined that. The Void is all about the middle ground. Before I came into the picture, the void was like a child, choosing people it thinks and thought it could trust to use it's power."
"Not very middle groundy right?" I said. And the outsider began to chuckle a little.
"Not at all, no. But now, it's a teenager now. It's going to want to barricade itself from everybody, this cannot be allowed to happen."
"So what? You want me to act like it's dad and help it to be the perfect Void it can be?"
"Ah... I knew I chose you for a reason." The Outsider smiled.
"Whoa whoa. Your serious? Your asking me. ME? To take care of a fundamental force of the multiverse?" I asked in shock.
"I wasn't much older than you when I was forced to take the job. I'm simply giving you the choice. Isn't that what the middle ground is? Choice, decisions. The wrong decision could put the world on the path to destruction, while the right choice could put it on a path of prosperity. This is your decision. I simply ask that you consider it." He was just about to send me back before I shouted.
"WAIT!" The Outsider tilted his head. I purse my lips and sigh. "Fine. I'll take care of The Void for you." The Outsider full blown smiled and I could swear i saw a flicker of human iris in those black eyes of his. "But a quick question. Why me? Why not someone else?" The Outsider merely considered to smile
"Your the best thing for The Void at the this time." He answered simply. He snapped his finger before I felt a flood of power enter me. I gasp as I could feel my mortal body stretch beyond the limits of it's capacity. Soon I collapse onto the ground. I get up and I saw the Outsider look slightly surprised.
"Huh. That's new."
"What?" I frown.
"It appears that your body is able to hold the full power of the void, It's stretched to capacity right now, but it's still able to handle it. Everybody else had only managed to do it in a spiritual representation of themselves. it seems you truly are the best thing for the void at this time." He smiled. "I bid you adieu. Xayvier. Make me proud." With that I was thrust back into the vault and I gasp as I collapse to my knees. Pinkie hurries to pick me up.
"Xavy! What happened?"
"Yes. I'd like to know that as well." I was about to tell them everything before i thought better of myself.
"I... I'll tell you later." Even my voice had changed slightly. It was now just barely deeper. I look around the vault and got up. I went and grabbed a bag from one of the chests in the vault and began to fill it up with as many galleons as I could. When i was done, I tightened it up and put it in my pocket. We soon left the bank after thanking Yaglsmick for his time.
