Diagon Alley in 1991
A teenager dressed in a stylish black trench coat with fluent curly black hair, can be seen inside a bustling crowd in front of Gringotts Wizarding Bank.
"Gringotts..."
Sebastian squinted at the busy street not far away and muttered. A few minutes ago, Moments ago, Sebastian had been a regular person going about his day. But in a flash, an accident transported him into the world of Harry Potter. The sudden change would have left most people panicked and confused, but Sebastian remained surprisingly calm. It reminded him of the countless transmigration novels he read. Even so, it took him a while to process all the sights and sounds of the bustling Alley, that he had really was in a different world.
As Sebastian took a deep breath and surveyed his new surroundings, fragments of memories from this world started surfacing about his life in this world. It seemed that the person here had the same name as he had in his past life.
Sebastian also found a Gringotts' key in his pocket. The key has a gold exterior in a typical 19th-century style. In addition to that, the key has a small symbol showing a shield with greyhounds rampant, charged with a chevron, two five-pointed stars, and a short sword.
As for this symbol, Sebastian felt he had seen it before...
Sebastian gazed at the emblem for a while, and a sense of familiarity washed over him, as though he had seen it a hundred times before.
Gradually, he realized that it was the Black family emblem, which he had seen in the Harry Potter movies.
It was no surprise that it felt almost like a native symbol to him. After all, he was Sebastian Black, the heir to the Black family. As this realization dawned on him, his thoughts turned to his father, whose name had slipped his mind momentarily. Now, he remembered clearly that his father was none other than Regulus Arcturus Black
Hence Sebastian is the heir of one of the most sacred of the twenty-eight wizard families in the wizarding world, the sacred twenty-eight who were considered to be truly pure blood as the people in these families had not married any half-blood or muggle born into the family yet.
The problem is my father died because of Voldemort...
And I don't have any memory of my mother; so, I was raised by the house elf in the Black Manor.
Sebastian scratched his head, feeling unlucky; his father had been a follower of Voldemort. Since most pure-blood families strongly believed in the importance of blood purity, thus they followed Voldemort.
But in one incident, his father became suspicious of Voldemort and died by poisoning in order to destroy Voldemort's Horcrux.
He hesitated for a moment before walking towards Gringotts.
recalling that the key inside his pockets was the only thing his father left him.
As for his uncle Sirius... this is when Harry still hadn't started school yet. So, he is still in Azkaban.
Sebastian then went through the doors of Gringotts.
Inside the bank, a familiar scene appeared in front of Sebastian's eyes.
The pointy-eared goblins were fiddling with their heads on either side, undisturbed by the passing guests.
Sebastian got out of his daze and then walked in the direction of one of the goblins.
"Hello, I'm here to talk to my family's account manager." I spoke as I saw the nameplate of the bank teller.
"Your name?" The goblin didn't look up but nodded his head.
"Sebastian Black," Sebastian stated. which stopped him from working and raising his head to look at Sebastian.
"Very well, we will have you take the inheritance test first before proceeding to your account manager. Come on." The goblin got off his highchair before guiding me to a small room. There was a small basin with what looked like water made of smooth stone in the center of the room. There were also several markings and tunes engraved around the basin. There's another goblin inside, maybe the one who tests the inheritance.
Once we are both inside, the other goblin gives Sebastian a small knife that is made of iron.
"Put three drops of your blood on the basin." "No more, no less; the magic from the runes will check your blood inheritance." He spoke.
Sebastian cut his finger and released three drops of blood.
As soon as he was confirmed to be black. The goblin took him to my family's account manager.
"Account Manager Griphook, Lord Black," said the goblin, testily. Then he continued.
"May your gold flow, Griphook. I want to make a withdrawal." Sebastian said as he handed him the vault key.
"You inherited your father's looks, Mr. Sebastian." Griphook examined while looking at his curly hair. Then he continued while examining the key.
"Hmm... Yes... Yes..." "It certainly is the one."
"Ironpike, please escort Mr. Black to his vault." Griphook spoke to the goblin on the side as he handed Sebastian the key back.
"Please follow me to the vault." The goblin spoke while holding a lamp in his hand.
"Alright, thank you."
After saying that, he followed the goblin and left the room.
...
"Vault No. 711, we have arrived; please follow me."
After a rollercoaster ride, the goblin got out of the cart with the lamp and spoke.
Sebastian then got out and was now standing in front of a huge vault.
If I remember correctly, this should be the Black family vault.
"Key." The voice of the goblin awoke Sebastian from his thoughts.
Sebastian then quickly handed him the key as he inserted it inside the keyhole. with additional protection that requires the goblin's touch. There was a click, and the heavy door slowly opened.
In an instant, the golden light of the gold coins blinded Sebastian for a couple of seconds.
He then walked in, seeing the amount of gold, relics, items, and galleons, he was immediately stunned again.
Then he shakingly grabbed a money pouch that was lying around and started to fill it with galleons and gold.
After a few handfuls, it became clear that the pouch turned out to be a bottomless pouch.
So, he did the most rational thing and continued to take handfuls of galleons and placed them in the pouch.
After a few minutes, it seemed as if it didn't even make a dent in the vault. He decided this was enough and started to wander deeper in the vault.
He suddenly found that there was a chest with a family emblem in the middle of the vault.
After opening it, a letter lay quietly inside.
"Dear Sebastian, if you see this letter, it means that I have passed away.
Don't feel sorry for me because I have never fulfilled the duties and responsibilities of a father.
And please forgive me and your mother.
After your uncle left the family at an early age, I became the sole heir of the Black family.
The family's legacy and glory are now up to you.
Remember this; don't look for the reason I died and remember that both me and your mother have always loved you.
---------Yours sincerely, Regulus Black"
Sebastian remained silent after reading the letter word for word. It appears that his family truly loved him in this life.
Ding!
'The system's requirements have been met.'
'System booting...'
'System booted.'
'Hello, host, the system's requirements have been met.'
So, the host unlocked "The Archmage Proficiency System."
The Archmage Proficiency System? Sebastian paused for a moment, then continued.
"What does the system do?"
Ding!
'The system will help the host be the most powerful wizard" by giving the host abilities and the ability to train the proficiency of the spells you learn.'
"Alright, can you show me my status?"

....
"It appears that the house elf's teachings that he gave me as a child really helped," Sebastian reflected on his childhood memories.
I guess I'll leave now that I've been inside for half an hour. Sebastian then went out of the vault and saw the goblin waiting for him patiently in front of the vault.
To the goblin, although Sebastian took a long time, he was still a vault owner, and the first priority of the bank was customer service.
"Alright, we can go back now." Sebastian said.
....
After exiting the bank building, Sebastian found himself preoccupied with the curious way in which his personality had intertwined with that of the original Sebastian. Although he prided himself on his stoic and collected demeanor, he couldn't help but feel an overwhelming excitement at the thought of the "room full of treasures" they had discovered. As he pondered this contradiction, Sebastian couldn't help but reflect on the previous host's somewhat solitary upbringing, where books were his only companions. Despite his adult sensibilities, it seemed that the young boy within him had been rekindled by the excitement of the moment.
It reminded Sebastian how excited the young boy was to finally receive the Letter from Hogwarts!
