Chapter 4: Vaults
Ragnok and Griphook led Solerean deeper and deeper down the caves under Gringotts until they reached vault 666 the Peverell trust vault, Ragnok explained that this vault was made for the children of house Peverell by his great grandfather, all children of house Peverell's education and basic needs were to be paid from this vault. It contained around 2.7 million galleons. Ragnok advised to terminate this vault and return all the galleons back to the family vault as I was the last Peverell and a trust vault would not be needed until I was married or had a child. We continued deeper down Gringotts until we reached Vault number 3. Ragnok proceeded to give Solerean the ledger of House Peverell which showed:
.....

.....
Ragnok explained that while the Peverells are still quite wealthy they used to own much more land but due to the past 2 wars house Peverell sold most of its land in Britain and moved to the US.
Solerean pressed his Peverell ring upon the vault which proceeded to upon and show the massive amount of gold located in the vault, he saw out of the corner of his eye a pile of books he grabbed some of the books about occulemency for now, Ragnok offered a magically expanded pouch only for 10 galleons to use in the meantime until he gets his own expanded trunk. He also found a couple of Thestral hairs in some jars and pocketed them into his pouch to possibly use for his wand.
After leaving the vault Ragnok directed them towards the Emrys family vault which had its own area for protection he explained that the ledger for house Emrys is located within the vault as it has been over 500 years since there has been a member of the house.
Solerean pressed his Emrys ring upon the door of the vault, after a few seconds the vault door acknowledged the rind and proceeded to upon up. as he entered the vault he saw mountains of gold, books scattered everywhere dozens of trunks and suits of armor. He walked towards a stand carrying a book titled Emrys House Ledger and opened it

.....
Solerean grabbed one of the empty magically expanded trunks and filled it with books that interested him from all subjects, from transfiguration to charms to DADA, to potions, he found some books about Magical Animagus training, wandless magic, some more books on occulemency, and more. Eventually, he stumbled upon a trunk with a silver egg in it, he knew that this was the phoenix egg that was supposed to hatch and become his familiar.
"if you would like to try and hatch the phoenix and make it your familiar prick your finger and let some drops of blood fall on the egg" Spoke Ragnok
After being given a knife from one of the guards he cut his finger and dropped some blood on the egg, it started to glow and was surrounded by a white flame, suddenly phoenix song started playing and the egg broke and what emerged was a?
" Is that a phoenix? that just looks like a featherless baby chick?" the baby phoenix chirped indignantly and bit into his finger and he felt a bond form between himself and the phoenix, information flooded into his brain, this phoenix was a she and her name was Sylvie eventually they would be able to speak together through the bond but she would need a week to reach maturity before any of her capabilities would be possible.
Solerean continued exploring the rest of the vault other than a phoenix feather he found that supposedly belonged to merlin's own phoenix he did not find anything else that he needed.
After leaving the vault Ragnok asked him if there is anything else he needed
"Yes, how can I get into Peverell manor if there is a fidelus?"
"Your ring should work as a portkey to Peverell Manor so you do not have to worry, just say (Retreat)" replied Ragnok
"Ok, thank you so much for your help Ragnok, you as well Griphook".
"Retreat" said Solerean as he portkeyed away to Peverell Manor
