Alex looked at the woman and replied, "I am. Could you please take a seat while I finish homework." The woman sat in one of the chairs. She looked about the room, noticing the decor. "This place reminds me of Traveler's Redoute." She said, "Sadly it no longer stands thank to the Nazis." The young man nodded as he finished writing on a paper and slid into an envelope. The woman looked at Alex as he pulled a thick book which Alex opened and began to read and would periodically write in it. The woman watched, curious as she asked, "May I inquire what you are doing?"
"Clan business." He replied and closed the book, he then looked at his unplanned guest. "If you mind my asking Ma-am but who are you?"
The woman smiled and said in response, "I am Professor McGonagall and I was about to give this to an owl when I found myself here." Alex nodded and said, "I'm Alexandre Viator. The current head of the ancient and honorable Lord of House Viator. And welcome to Traveler's Rest." McGonagall raised an eyebrow before aying, aren't you a little young to be the lord of the house?" Alex nods. "True. But death doesn't care about age so the moment my father died I became the lord".
McGonagall's face took on a saddened look. "I'm sorry for you." She said. "When did it happen?" Alex went silent for a couple minutes before saying. "Mom tells me he went to a place called Godric's Hollow to aid Jim Potter and never came back. Dad's portrait started to move the moment he died." The Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts looked at young Alex in shock then looked at the portrait of a young man dressed like an adventurer from one of the dime store novels that were popular in the early twentieth century.
"He was there when He-who-must-not-be-named came to kill Harry Potter." She asked.
"My Theo did go there to help his friend and in doing so insured young Potter survived." Both looked up to see a woman with bronze skin & hair dressed in khaki trousers & shirt and wearing a black belt. She held out her hand, "Patricia Viator nee Savage great-great granddaughter of Clark Savage Jr. my cousin Clark Savage V happens to be an arour in England and is the spitting image of our Great-Great Grandfather." She said in greeting. "Please accept our apologies for your unintentional kidnapping. Also Alex will attend Hogwarts."
Alex looked up in shock. "Mom!" He called out. "No Viator has attended Hogwarts since The Objection." Patricia nodded. "Clark's description of the Wizarding Blood War tells me we have to intervene to insure Moldywart stays down." Alex sank in his seat. Patricia then walked over to a bookshelf, took a book off and handed it to Alex and said, "Pappy's full excessive routine and the complete guide to somatic gestures is in that book."
McGonagall took the time mother and son were talking to look about the room. She noted a number of books that were magical tomes that surprised her. "You have an impressive collection of magical tomes. "I'm surprised at the number of them." Alex nodded then, motioned for the professor to follow him. Not seeing any reason not to, she followed him. They left the room which was, as it turned out to be, the Library and went down a hallway to a door. As she walked into the room she noticed that it was obviously Alex's bedroom. There was a bed, bedside table, a desk with a device of some kind.
As she watched, Alex opened a chest and tossed some clothes, belts, shoes and a cloak. He then went to the desk and pulled out a key, then he went to his closet and pulled out a backpack made of handcrafted leather and closed the door. "Mr Viator." She said. "I are you familiar with magic?" Alex looked at her then nodded as he pulled out his key. McGonagall watched as he slid it into a second keyhole and twisted it. She watched as he opened the door into a cavernous room piled high with coins of gold, silver, copper & platinum. Alex stepped in and motioned for her to join him. Stunned she stepped in, once she was in Alex summoned the key to him then closed the door. Alex then walked deeper in to the vault. McGonagall marveled at the amount of wealth on display. Her mind boggled as she realized that the tales of the Viator fortune stating it was uncountable were probably true. She got further shock when saw Wizarding money mixed in.
"Where is this Vault located?" She asked. She was shocked when he answered, under Gringotts, Diagon Alley." When they arrived at a Gringots vault door, Alex stated, "I'm not certain but during when they were setting up that branch, they broke into the vault. The clan head was there putting something in. Long story short the dispute end with the goblins loosing all rights to the caverns and having to pay rent to the clan and guarding the family vault in exchange for a rent consisting of one percent of their total profit plus ninety percent of any fines collected since the last time the clanhead was there. It's been a long time since any clan head (or family member) has been inside and I hope they aren't upset for the loss …" his voice trailed off when opened the vault to a goblin who said in his native tongue "<Took you long enough. Okay you dung heaps start bringing it in!>" they were then hustled out of the vault then surrounded by guards as the goblins wheelbarrow loads of Wizarding money and artifacts including the contents of several vaults seized by the goblins.
Looking back Professor McGonagall Alex said, "I was hoping we could've snuck out before they cornered us, but it seems they set up some alarm to alert of the arrival of a clan head. I apologize for the delay." After bout two hours the goblins had left after handing a ledger and a Gringots wallet to Alex. After blooding it they left Gringotts by the front door. Alex sighed as they entered the Leaky Caldron for lunch. "I'll see you tomorrow to pick my school suplies." He said.
