And with no more babbling,

Enjoy!

It was the night of Christmas eve, all of the Weasleys and Harry sat around the fire, Mr. Weasley sitting on the arm chair in the cosy living room waiting for the young children to hand him a book. Harry outstretched his small arm, holding the book they wanted the adult to read and lent forward falling a little in the process. He handed Arthur the red, hard backed book and sat back again crossing his legs and pushing his small glasses back in place.

"Ah the tales of Montague. So old yet never finished." Arthur Weasley Montague read out. He licked his thumb quickly before turning the front cover and beginning to read the introduction page, all about how the Montague clan began.

The Montagues, a friendly kind hearted clan, were a clan mixed of pure-bloods and half-bloods, accepting family members and friends what ever their blood line.

The clan dated back to the 1400s when Sir Knight Septimus Weasley was given Castle Montague as a gift for his bravery in the Battle of Sky. Unfortunately to keep the power of magic hidden from "muggles", a name given to humans with non magical powers, Sir Knight Septimus Weasley had to leave castle Montague in the low lands and return to Avensclaw, the city of Wizards protected and away from muggle praying eyes.

In memory to his castle and king, when Septimus was again given a rank, this time the rank of Count, he was given a small island off the shores of Avensclaw, naming it, "Island of Montague." Septimus set up a clan on the island of Montague to defend against wizards travelling by sea, who would try to invade Avensclaw , the name of the clan, "The Montagues."

When Septimus died, he left the leadership of his clan to his son, Rathon Weasley. His son decided that everyone in the clan should be recognised of being in it, and so for the clans hard work at fending off wizards trying to invade Avensclaw, the King of the Wizard City granted everyone in the clan permission to add Montague to the end of their names. And so the birth of clans began.

One of the clans that formed were called the Capulets and became allies with the Montague clan helping them defend off ships and protecting others. The clans fell away from each other however and became enemies when the Capulet clan turned and fought for power, killing innocents and muggles.

Arthur looked up from the pages in front of him and looked at the young children sitting content listening to the timeline of Montague. They all knew about the Capulets and their evil doings. They always pulled a disgusted and hatred face when ever the words "Capulet" was mentioned. Who could blame them.

The Capulets continued to fight, killing the Court of Royals and ending the existence of many clans. The Capulets offered the Montagues a chance to be in with their new found power and the promise of dominance, but the Montagues declined and become instant, sworn enemies with the Capulets.

The Battle of Helford Shire in the 1600s, a battle that ended a great deal of wizards, the clan of Capulets were defeated and only a small number of them survived, where they fled Scotland and disappeared into the mist of England.

When Avensclaw was destroyed in the early months of 1700, due to forces of evil, The Montague clan became one of the main clans in Scotland and when the Capulets reformed in the 1700s they were kept under close full watch instructed by the Montagues.

Even though the Capulets were aloud back in to Scotland as they had turned 'good' again it was all thanks to the Montagues, but nothing had changed, they still hated each other.

When the downfall of many clans happened in the 1800s the Montague clan ended and only one member, Ethan Septimus Weasley Montague, kept the clans name at the end of his. The clan was set up again by Ethan's great grand son, Charles Halford Weasley Montague, who set it up in memory to the destroyed city of Avensclaw and in memory of his ancestors. He also kept the name of the clan at the end of his name.

Mr. Weasley flicked the page and read out the new ink that had only been down on the page a few years now. The book was not near finished, words and paragraphs were added every now and then and would be continuing to be added too for many generation to come.

And so the clan "The Montagues" was passed down generations, becoming ,eventually in the 1900s under the leadership of Arthur Weasley Montague, adopting the idea of adding the clan name to the end of his, along with his fellow clan wizards. The clan was used for defending of Death eaters and again errand the title of sworn enemies from the Capulets who also managed to survive after many years.

The clan of Capulet was under the instructions of one Tom Riddle, known to everyone in the wizarding world by 'Voldemort.' Only one could stop him who Voldemort accidentally marked as his equal when he tried to end the Montagues for good.

Before Arthur could finish the last sentence, eight year old twins, Fred and George chipped in and said the sentence together while looking in the direction of a five year old, blacked messy haired young boy.

"His name was Harry, Harry James Potter Montague."

Harry recalled the story in his mind as if it was only yesterday, remembering the first time he was ever told that story. He had only turned five and thought that being the chosen one sounded great, running about the home he had been accepted into after his parents died that night when he was only one. Ron, George, Fred, Percy, Bill, Charlie and him would run about with toy wands and capes shouting made up spells at each other. If only he could go back to when he was five, everything was so much simpler and less complex, He thought.

He wasn't in those times anymore, he was far from being five, eleven, almost twelve years to be exact and everything had just began to unravel. With his sixth year at Hogwarts over Harry had the summer holidays to relax. Well to some extent.

His birthday was also coming up on July 31st and he would be turning seventeen meaning two things to him. One he could use magic outside of Hogwarts, finally, and two he would be one the new journey of finding someone to suit.

That's what Harry was thinking about while he was seated in the burrow, the top location for finding Montagues. He never really understood the whole uprising you would get off fellow clan members if you picked the wrong person to become suited to. To Harry it was just dating really, eventually leading to marriage if everything went swell, little did he know there was so much more to suiting someone than that.

Becoming a suitor to someone was tricky business, not only had you to gain the girls approval off her father but also the rest of the clans as well, that is if you were planning on marring someone outside your home clan. Now a days with others clans, the small amount of them that was still around, was usually good friends with each others so it wasn't really a problem marring outside your clan now as everyone generally liked everyone else.

The person Harry wanted to suit, he would get easy, after all they were both Montagues and also had known each other practically their full life's. So both the father part and gaining approval from the rest of the clan part was covered easily. The tricky parted would be getting her to say yes. Ginny was always that way, stubborn as they could get. But oh how I love her.

Ron stumbled into the cluttered kitchen , highly drunk while Harry was deep in thought. It was the night of Bill and Fleur's congratulations party as they both had been suited together and were celebrating the occasion. Literally everyone in the Montague clan had turned up resulting in a full house, the Lovegoods, tones of Weasleys and some few other folk Harry didn't recognise were all about the burrow, helping celebrate the occasion. The event was what struck Harry into his thoughts of marriage and who would he get suited too which eventually lead to thoughts of the love of his life, Ginny.

"Mate your missing," Hiccup, "The party." Harry looked up at Ron as he said his slurred sentence. Anyone could clearly see he was completely drunk, even Luna commented on that earlier, that's saying something. His red, badly-needed-a-hair-cut hair was all over the place, with a green party hat at the side of his head. His white shirt was half tucked in half out, his left trouser leg rolled up to his knee and his tie. Harry couldn't help be laugh. His black tie was rapped around his head as if he was a young boy and some school child rebelling.

"Ron mate you look a right mess. I think its time you calmed that party animal of yours down its getting quite late." Harry stood up from the chair he was seated on and made his way over to Ron. He put his arm round Ron's shoulders to balance him while they walked up the stairs.

"I've made up my, woops almost fell there." Ron laughed as he tripped on the last stair step just outside his bedroom door, Harry catching him just as he almost fell backwards.

"I've decided that am," Hiccup, "Going to go after Luna and become her knight in blue armour." Ron laughed again hysterically as he walked into the wooden bathroom door, Harry wondering to himself, why on earth would you laugh at yourself walking into a door, "Ron mate you do know its shining armour not blue and will you please stop signing that dreadful song!"

As Harry walked back down the stairs he'd just went up, he was just in time to see the last of the quests leaving.

"And goodbye to you my boy hope to see you soon." Harry gave a quick wave as Rumes

left the burrow arm and arm with Tonks, both had just got married to each other a few months before.

The door closed with a soft click and a mumble of words resembling the sound of "framobilise", a spell that causes objects to move. Just as Harry hit the last step, Mr. Weasley walked in, his wand getting restored in his wand pouch rapped safely round his waste and under his coat, hidden from sight.

Mr. Weasley looked up from placing his wand back in its pouch, catching sight of Harry straight away. "Ah Harry I was looking for you. Please come sit with me. We have some very important matters to discus." Mr. Weasley sat down and motioned for Harry to sit with him.

"Well we all know the matter of who you should marry and your future plans for marriage will be coming up in conversation shortly as you are almost of age and I was wondering if you had any plans on who you might want to be suited with." As Arthur finished, he motioned with his wand that was now back in his hand and Harry watched as the fridge door opened, and a cold jug of water floated towards the table and a glass cup made its way out from the cupboard to the fridges left.

"Well I have gave some thought to the matter and I think I've found someone that I would really much liked to become their suitor and eventually get married to." Harry took a pause before he continued, looking up from picking under his nails and towards Mr. Weasley who was watching as the jug poured water into the floating cup.

He took a deep breath. It was now or never he thought might as well get it over with. "I would really, if it was alright with you become the suitor of…"

The sentence was cut off as Harry looked up sharply at the front door, which was being knocked ferociously on.

Mr. Weasley faced Harry, both with confusion plastered on their faces. Who could possibly be here at this time. Their wands were drawn just in case.

"Hagrid ! What a delight. Though I must say, what brings you here at two in the morning?" Mr Weasley took his seat again at the wooden table within the kitchen, lighting his pipe he'd just re found in his elegant robe that he was now wearing after calling, "Refond" the house elf.

"Sorry about the intrusion but Dumbledore told me to give you this letter straight away Harry and to tell you he will be meeting with you in a few days. Sounds urgent to me if I do say so." Hagrid, having to bend over due to his height, handed Harry a sealed letter with a black seal on the back referring to one thing only. The letter was read with wide eyes.

"Its about the sword of Gryffindor. Its, its been stolen."

Finally finished thank god! For some reason this chapter took ages to write!
