What a great chapter. Harry gets access to vaults before he's 25. He and Ron do the impossible and break into Gringotts and scare the daylights out of the Goblins. They actually get to have possession of another horcrux without anyone except a vault door and a dragon getting hurt. (I do hope the dragon is ok.) A great chapter. Thank you for writing. pms

OK I read that chapter and hope that you sometimes soon clear that matter with Hermione. Otherwise it was up to your usual high standards.

Just jogging my memory here but wasn't there a theft at Gringotts in Harry's first year? It was even in the Daily Prophet, if I recall correctly. Are you ignoring that robbery when writing this chapter?
Or is "successful" the keyword here?

There was a movie called "The italian job" With, I think, the line
"You were only supposed to blow the fucking doors off!"
You did refer to the papal job as the Italian job in the story. Was this on your mind while writing it?
I was convinced Harry was going to get out of it by telling the goblins how it was done, so they could hopefully prevent it in the future. Luckily future thieves can only steal things that were just stolen.
Alot of fun. I love this story and the prequel to it.

It is seldom that a fanfic author makes intelligent, original, use of a time turner. Thank you for this original chapter.

Excellent. I always get confused with time turners... but aside from the fact that they didn't have to wait an extra five hours, everything was pretty clear.
Great chappie.

Great chapter. Wonderful bank robery; Only with a time turner could someone go to the bank to find out what had been stolen from him, and end up being the theif. Ron was an excellent accomplice.
Good job. I'm looking forward to more.

A very interesting chapter. One retrieved Horcrux, one Gringotts robbery and lots of fun and excitement for one and all. Keep up the good work.

*laughs* Now that was quite an installment. Here's hoping that's the right locker; it'd be a shame to have done all that for nothing.

Time Travel! I love this entire chapter, especially stealing from Harry's own vault.

hahahahaha, that's just great ;). Hum but then again he robbed himself... how strange eh?

Lots of interesting wizarding society info, there with the ancient goblin.

> The trip back to the surface easily broke the existing record, whatever it was.
THAT kind of quiet joke is one of the kinds I like best. Kudos, Draco.
Hmm. I presume the jug was toasted by the dragon. Otherwise, it'll do its best to freeze the entire world, starting in the Gringotts catacombs.
Wait a minute, wait a minute. Harry was called to Gringotts "before" he was the cause of being called to Gringotts! How . . . But . . . *sigh* I hate time paradoxes. I feel a headache coming on. ;)

I always enjoy your stories, and I really like fanfic cliches turned on their heads, such as Griphook just being a flunky in this chapter. I liked the re-integration of Ron into the storyline, and I think you've matured him appropriately-i.e., not too much. So many writers write Ron into something he's not, and I like your still-Quidditch-obsessed version as a natural extension of his character. I've always thought that introducing the Time-Turner was one of the worst thing JKR could have done, since it leaves the question-"well, why don't you use the Time-Turner to fix things?" I like that you kept your use of it understated though.
Thinking back a little bit, I kind of get the feeling that Snape isn't dead, and Dumbledore is still playing games, and that Hermione will end up looking pretty stupid after it all comes out. Even if he is dead though, I think she's still making a mistake.
Glad to see this story is still being worked on, and as always I look forward to reading more.

Just barely easy enough to follow that I did, and plenty convoluted enough that I had to stop and think about it once or twice. Good show! I don't think I've ever seen a horcrux attainment pulled off quite this well before. Lovely.

Fricken Brilliant! That's was one of the most awesome chapters of any fanfiction I've ever read. Keep up the great work!

Why Griphook? Why, why why why why? There was no need for it, and all it does is give into one of the biggest cliches there, Harry meetign Griphook at Gringotts and recognising him.
Apart from that, not a bad chapter, though a tad boring.

What's the biggest Griphook cliche in fanfiction? Griphook being made Harry's account manager.
Ever seen a fanfic where Griphook gets treated with the same contempt that the goblins treat humans?
