The day at Gringotts was exhausting for Harry and by the time they were done, it was well past dinner time. Harry felt they accomplished quite a bit that day and was glad the confrontation with the Goblins was behind him. The timely arrival of Ironfist was probably the best thing that could have happened.
He had been watching the whole meeting and saw that communication was deteriorating quickly. In response, he did the only thing he could and entered the meeting to stop what could very well be the end of his nation. From his talks with Harry, Ironfist still knew that Harry held a lot of resentment towards Gringotts and pledged himself to do whatever he had to in order to regain his trust.
Ragnok sighed in relief that he still had his job, his head, and the chance to right the wrongs he allowed to happen to a most important client. He also knew that he would be spending a lot of time groveling to Ironfist for collectively saving him.
At the present, he was focused on the audit of Lord Peverell's vaults in order to find any and all money and items that may have been removed from it. Before Harry left the office, he had vowed to do his absolute best for Harry in the future. He was well aware that since Ironfist had to get involved, his life depended on it.
For Harry, the only thing left was the reporting of the full audit and accounting of all of his vaults. Once this was complete, they would have a better idea of the damage and would propose various methods in which they could recover the assets that had been removed from the vaults.
It would be these actions which would help him make a decision on whether to continue working with the Goblins or sever the ties between his families and the bank. Ironfist promised that he would be right beside Griphook the whole time and give him the benefit of his experience. With the addition of the other houses, Harry quickly became one of their most important clients in the organization that was Gringotts worldwide.
The end of the evening found the whole group tired and hungry so in order to promote the progress they had made, Ironfist invited the two young men to dine with him. They were about to decline when he made the effective argument that it was still too early to reveal themselves and there was always the thought that people would become suspicious if the emissaries from the House of Death were seen in a restaurant eating dinner.
With the logic of his argument, they accepted and had an enjoyable meal with Ironfist even if his jokes were as bad as Sirius'. It surprised Harry that the topic of business never came up. In fact the conversation was about their plans and how the Goblin nation may be of assistance in them.

After returning to the suite, Harry and Dobby once again took to their recliners as Dobby turned on the TV. Harry stared at the cup which sat on the coffee table and considered what needed to be done. He looked over at Dobby who was staring right back at him.
"If you're going to Hogwarts to see Winky, go ahead and get the diadem from the Room of Requirement. I'll stop at Grimmauld on the way tomorrow and get the locket. Once we have those, all of Tom's anchors will be destroyed and we can take him out any time."
"How is it you know where they are?"
Harry laughed "You remember that thing Azrael did before we left?"
Dobby nodded. "Well, he kind of implanted the information in my head to make it easier. He also said something about not being Dumbledore and speaking in riddles or trying to make it into some grand quest. I think he really wants this done as quickly as possible."
Dobby laughed "Yeah, the old goat does tend to make everything a lot harder than it needs to be. So, are you going to see Megan tomorrow?"
"Of course."
