The next morning Harry and Snape were sitting at the table and were about to start class. However, they were significantly disrupted in their project.
“Potter, tell your mutt to sit down. that's not bearable. "
The teacher was right. The dog paced across the room and sat still for less than five seconds.
Just as Harry was about to say something, the animal trotted towards him. He nudged Harry's pocket.
"What do you have Blacky?"
Another nudge.
The boy reached into his pocket and took out the key that was in it.
No sooner had the dog seen the shiny little thing, he turned around like crazy. he went over to Harry's school books and put his paw on them. Then he went back to the boy and touched the Gringott key with his nose.
Harry understood.
“Okay, you want me to go to the bank again. But why?"
severus had watched the whole spectacle, he knew what the animal meant.
"It seems like Blacky wanted you to ask about your finances at the bank."
Harry looked at the man in confusion.
"Why?"
"Potter, Blacky overheard our conversation yesterday. He seems to think that you should make sure the director looked after your money properly. In other words, whether he left it alone. "
“Um, it seems like my dog ​​is smarter than me. How embarrassing."
"Not embarrassing, just Blacky has less reason to trust Dumbleore than you."
"I don't trust him either."
"Then pack your things, let's go."
"WHAT? Out of there ?! "
Harry stared at his teacher with terrified eyes. He pointed one finger to the window.
Normally Severus would have responded with sheer sarcasm by now. But he had seen how shy the boy was yesterday.
“Yeah, out there. do not worry. I will protect you. "
Harry looked at his teacher skeptically.
"Are you serious or are you making fun of me right now?"
"Both."
"If you hold the pack out there from my neck, you can poke me up for as long as you want."
Severus grinned.
"I'll take you at your word."
Harry looked at his dog.
"I think I just signed my death warrant."
Severus rolled his eyes.
“Now you don't get melodramatic. I'm on vacation too, just like you. I can still have some fun there. "
Harry started giggling
"Professor, don't be angry with me, but you just sounded like a defiant child."
Severus preferred not to say anything afterwards.
Blacky, on the other hand, was very pleased with himself. Severus understood. in gratitude he rubbed his head on the man's hand.
"Well, you monster, you seem to be a real blessing for the boy."
Harry grinned again. Looked like the dog had sneaked into the gloomy man's heart.

the way to the bank was again a gauntlet run. This time Harry even took his monster book, "Beast", with him as protection. Something Severus had only commented on by rolling his eyes.
However, it seemed sorely needed. the people were just impossible. Always these autograph requests. Or the request that the boy fight some monsters.
Not only Blacky growled. The book, too, sometimes snapped at people. And Severus did the rest.
finally they were in the bank. The boy looked like he had a fight behind him.
"Professor, are you an Animagus by any chance?"
Severus looked down at his student in surprise.
"Yes I am. Why do you ask?"
"Can you teach me on vacation?"
"Mr. Potter, it takes a few months. I don't think four weeks are enough for it. "
"Why not? Maybe I'll learn to control my magic that way. "
Severus took a deep breath.
"We will see. I suppose the real reason you want to learn is the pack out there? "
The boy nodded gloomily. As an animal he would be able to move more freely.
Severus couldn't even say anything against the child's wish. it wouldn't be any different for him if he were.

"Good morning, Mr. Gripock."
“Good morning, Mr. Potter. Do you remember my name? "
"Um yes, why not? We only spoke to each other yesterday. "
"It is often difficult for wizards to tell us apart."
"Really? But you all look different. "
The goblin's ears shot up. And Severus too stared at the boy in amazement. to him, the little guys really looked almost all the same.
But the bank clerk seemed pleased.
"Amazing. What can I do for you today, Mr. Potter? "
“I don't really know myself. I was only advised to inquire about my finances. "
The goblin did not miss a sidelong glance at the dog. But he said nothing.
Apparently this wizard preferred to live as an animal. It should be fine with him.
“Then come with me. Would you like your company to be there? "
“Since I am not familiar with all these things, I would like it very much. But that doesn't mean I don't trust you. "
Harry raised his hands, held them up defensively, and waved them around excitedly.
The goblin began to smile. Something that gave Severus goose bumps.
“I'm not offended Mr. Potter. I think it's very good that you are getting help. The rights of wizards differ somewhat from those of goblins. "
