Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

Griphook glanced at the cup still sitting on the vault floor. "I think we will record the signature of this cup and then do a vault by vault audit to see if there are other such items within our vaults. Mrs. LeStrange violated the terms of her account by placing that object here. Every account holder must inform Gringotts when they place a dangerously cursed object within our vaults."
He then turned to Scott. "Mr. Summers, I'm afraid we'll have to levy a small fine against the LeStrange account."
"Against LeStrange's account?" Scott asked. He wanted to be sure they weren't about to fine Harry for something he didn't do.
Griphook nodded and gave him a feral grin. "She was Mrs. LeStrange when the object was placed in the vault. Until she married, this vault contained only her dowry money and nothing else. So yes, I'm afraid we'll have to assess their main family accounts in penalty. Violating this particular clause also results in their main account being locked for five years. "
Logan whistled, then grinned. "I like it. Cut 'em off from their money. Just how much of a penalty will you be assessing on them?"
Everyone knew that the goblin was playing games with words, but it didn't bother most of them that the bank would penalize the LeStrange family. The only one among them who seemed disturbed by the news was Dumbledore, but he realized any protest he made would be ignored.
Griphook shrugged. "That's not up to me to decide. It could be as low as half of the vault contents or as high as eighty percent. The board of directors will make that decision."
"And the cup?" asked Scott. He couldn't hide the grin he was wearing.
"I'll have Mr. Weasley seal the cup in a protective shield, then we'll transport it down to the blast furnace where we smelt the metals for our coins."
