Another day passed in Mansion at London, trying to make a wand which duplicates the elder wand made by Death.
Valerius thought of lot of ways to make this done, but none seems working.
An owl came via open window and dropped a blue covered letter and looked at Valerius.
Valerius grabbed the letter and opened it,

Finally from Castelobruxo and Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Valerius Rejected all the letters and wrote back to Hogwarts.
The month now is June, exactly two months are there for the first year at Hogwarts.
Valerius is preparing in-order to have a perfect start.
So,
Valerius made his way to Diagon alley and visited the Gringotts Bank,
Since it was the first time in Diagon alley, he visited the Ollivanders to check the shop, not to buy a wand.
Valerius went inside as the bell alerted Mr.Garrick.
Garrick saw a boy with Nordic blonde with and sparking Arctic blue eyes, he seemed some how familiar to certain someone.
Garrick attempted his regular brain wandering legillimens, as a result he hit a wall he cant cross "I see you are pretty talented boy, your name please"
Valerius ignored his question and asked his necessity "I want a wand holster for a wand whose size 14 inches"
Garrick went through the packages and got the perfect match,
Garrick as he gave the holster "a sickle please"
Valerius "isn't it too much for a holster?, tell me how it's worth a sickle"
Garrick sighed and answered obediently "it made of leather and Niffler skin for comfort when it touches your skin".
Valerius "Here have a sickle, thanks for your explanation"
Garrick "It will be nice if you say your name Mr..."
Valerius smirked "Valerius Alaire Grindelwald"
Garrick hand shivered hearing the surname of former Dark lord,
Valerius "I will see you again if I have a chance"
Valerius made his way to his next target, the Gringotts Bank.
Garrick "Hmm, Isabella's child have grown in a interesting way"
# The Gringotts Bank
Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn,
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
Valerius went straight, he excluded significant amount of magic for the Goblins to notice.
Griphook "Hello I am the General manager of Gringotts bank"
Valerius "I want access to vault 75, and here is the ring"
Griphook got astonished, 0-100 vault are the oldest vault's in existence.
Griphook "Sir, your name please"
Valerius "Valerius Alaire Grindelwald"
Griphook thought "Oh a Grindelwald, then the math is correct" and replied "Please wait I will assign a fellow goblin to navigate, before that, can we do a blood test for Grindelwald's"
Valerius "OK, but prepare it fast, we dont have all day"
Griphook bowed sincerely and rushed to other goblins.
Griphook came with a magic artifact which proves whether He/She's claimed identity is true or not.
Valerius used a drop of blood after few seconds, it was conformed that Valerius is a Grindelwald.
He was given a vault manager named Looper. To maintain the Grindelwald vault.
Valerius and Looper went the deepest places of the gringotts bank.
Looper spotted the vault number 75
Looper "Please give me your ring"
Valerius "Here" Valerius gave his ring to the goblin,
The goblin inserted the ring into a small hole, the ring got accepted and open the vault.
As soon as the vault opened,
Valerius found so much wealth, which cant be compared to any other vault,
Crown, jewels, gold bars and tons of gallons and what not?
Valerius placed 30% of the gold looted from Flamel's in his vault and took some gallons and ordered to close the vault.
Valerius and Looper went towards the main floor again.
Valerius asked "Looper bring the goblin who is responsible for Muggle side investment"
Looper "Yes sir"
Looper bought Frend the goblin responsible for muggle side investing.
Frend "Hello Young Wizard, how may I help you"
Valerius "Here is the list in oil and gold sectors, for investment take 25 percent of wealth from my vault in form of gallons and not ornaments and jewelry"
Looper and Frend got a gold bar each from Valerius as a small gift for taking good care of him in the future.
Both Looper and Frend, who is also scared of the power possessed by Valerius and also comforted by his wealth.
Valerius made sure that they are more loyal towards him than the Gringotts bank.
