The following week was rough on everyone as the Dr.'s Granger had to get used to their little girl now being married at the age of fifteen, but also for Harry and Hermione for pretty much the same reason. Dan spent several hours the first couple of days with Emma in the study talking to the portrait of Danielle Granger, who had been the last Lady Granger, painted 300 years earlier, and filling her in on as much family and world history as they could. Dan assured her he would dig through the old family archives and bring in more information soon.

Dan had the "That's my daughter and I don't want her mother or I to be grandparents before you graduate school" speech, and Harry had professed that they had talked about that the first night and had decided that after Hogwarts they would see what Universities would have them and have children after they graduated. This went a long way to helping the adult Grangers accept Harry as family.

Harry and Hermione went on several dates over the next three weeks both in Glasgow and Diagon Alley and about a month before they returned to school consummated their marriage, three times that first night and twice the following morning, needless to say they didn't make it down until lunch that day. Not that Emma and Dan noticed as, from the sounds occasionally heard coming from their room over the last several weeks, they had been doing a fair amount of consummating themselves.

That week brought several other surprises to the happy, little group; Hedwig flew in one day with a letter from Sirius,

Harry,

This wonderful owl appeared out of nowhere three days ago, just as I was about to start this letter. It wasn't until I found the Potter Crest on the collar that I knew she was yours. They have a great ability to know when someone close to the family needs to send a letter, and will normally, happily deliver said letter. This one reminds me of the Potter Manor owl, Hamlet, which would deliver your father's mail to Hogwarts.

I digress, since my escape I have made my way somewhere safe and am slowly regaining my health. Fear not for my sanity for as your father and our friends would tell you. I never really had that much. Know that I miss you and am sorry I let my anger influence my decisions that night. Dumbledore says he has a way to bring me back this school year, so I will hopefully see you soon.

Your doddering Dogfather,

Sirius Orion Black

After a quick conference with Hermione and her parents Harry wrote a letter back to him.

Sirius,

It was wonderful to hear from you, we are glad you are doing better. Hedwig and Hamlet are probably related as I found out that there is only one family that breeds the Snow Owl. I can't explain in this letter, but DO NOT TRUST DUMBLEDORE at this point, certain things just do not add up. Please check yourself and ALL possessions for tracking charms and once removed, this letter is a portkey and will get you safely through the wards. Remember Sirius, I am my father's son.

Harry

Harry had sealed the letter and was placing it on the counter when Hedwig appeared and stuck out her leg, "It is okay girl, get some food and have a bit of a rest and you can take it later tonight". Hedwig nipped at his fingers and stood there with her leg out, "Fine, fine, you can take it now, just rest for a couple of days before heading home okay". Hedwig nipped his ear and flew out the window to deliver her message to Sirius.

To say Molly was upset would have been an understatement, she was making Mt. Vesuvius look like a third graders science project. The Senior Auror guarding the Ministry cells was more than happy to sign the paperwork to turn over the extremely boorish Molly and lump of human matter Ronald Weasley (soon to be No Name) over to Dumbledore as quickly as possible.

Albus was having an awful couple of weeks ever since retrieving the ex Weasley's. Molly's anger was such that no matter the strongest Silencing Charm, she could still be heard. On top of that he'd had to blood adopt "The Human Garbage Disposal" just to get him back into Hogwarts for the coming year.

Ron was oblivious, all he knew was that he had no chores to do and that when the summer was over he would apologize to Harry and ask Hermione to be his girlfriend again; this time he'd be sly and ask her while rubbing her butt, all girls liked their butts rubbed. He would sometimes ask where the rest of the family was but would forget about them as soon as Molly put food in front of him.

Draco Malfoy was having one of the best summers he could remember, him and his father had just returned from the Quidditch World Cup and while the game was exciting to watch it was the after show that really had him smiling. Watching ten Death Eaters (dad included) juggle that muggle family was great and the fact that it was in the middle of tens of thousands of witch's and wizard's and none of them did anything to stop it only proved to him that true power came from fear. This year he's break Potter and that Mudblood Bitch he always had with him

Hermione stared down at the paper reading the article about the Dark Mark appearing at the QWC and sighed in relief that they had refused the Ministers offer of tickets to spend more time with her parents and new husband; though thanks to the goblins, nobody but themselves knew about "the husband". Hermione wondered how long that would last once they got back to Hogwarts.

They'd been on the train for about an hour; they were in a car with Neville, the Twins, Ginny and a girl Ginny introduced as Luna Lovegood when Draco and his anal warts opened the door and sneered in. "Well I see they still have the losers car and you and the Mud…" That was as far as he got before Harry, moving at speeds honed on the quidditch pitch, sank a fist into Draco's stomach and brought a knee into his face as he doubled over. "There's a mundane, in the Colonies, sport called baseball, in it you're given three strikes before you're out consider this strike one. Crabbe, Goyle neither of you need to share "The Ferret's" fate, get your leader out of here before anything else happens to him".

As Goyle grabbed one of Draco's arms he let the charmed note slip out like he had practiced all summer. He knew he was not very smart, but could see that every time he had been with Draco and they had faced Harry Potter that Harry had always come out on top and that Harry always had the backing of friends that were not being paid but actually liked him. He had become good friends with Millicent Bulstrode over the last couple of years and both were looking for a better life.

Collin Creavey knocked on the carriage door sometime later and after saying hello to Harry and getting a picture of everyone in the car remembered why he had knocked in the first place. "Harry, I was walking to my car when I saw this in front of your door and thought you might have dropped it". "Thanks Collin, hey could you get us copies of the picture you just took? Let me know how much the materials cost and I'll pay you for them". Collin nodded yes as he left the car to continue on to his friends, the twins, Ginny and Luna also left to visit with their other friends as well. Hermione asked for the note and after doing several revealing charms on it, and finding nothing, gave it back to Harry. He broke the seal and began to read:

Mr. Harry Potter,

I am Gregory Goyle Jr. and I know you have no reason to believe me when I say this, but I do not hate or even dislike you. I have done some things (bullying) that I'm not proud of, but last year I made a friend of my own (someone I was not forced to like by my father). Millicent has shown me that I can be a kinder person then I am right now, she is helping me write this as I am not very good at this kind of thing. Last year we made sure that nobody picked on the first years of any house while we were around, and we are going to do the same this year. If you could help us to escape Millicent has a squib aunt, who owns a farm, and has offered us protection.

Your former enemy,

Gregory Goyle Jr.

Harry was stunned and sat in quiet thought as he nudged Hermione and handed the letter to her.

Hermione read the letter out loud to Neville as Harry stared out the window in silent contemplation. Neville was the first to speak, "Whew, do you guys really think Goyle was only doing those things because he was being forced to"? "No" Harry replied, "He did them because he didn't know he could do anything else". Looking over at Hermione he said "Sometimes it just takes the love of the right women to show you that you can be better" Hermione smiled sweetly at Harry and said "We'll have to ask some of the First Years, and if it's true we should try and help as much as we can". She snuggled into Harry's side for the rest of the trip.

The only new information at the Opening Feast was a new DADA Prof., former Auror Alistair "Mad Eye" Moody, and no Quidditch do to the Tri-Wizard Tournament being hosted be Hogwarts this year. Also Ron was at the Gryffindor table during the feast but as word got around as to what happened over the summer and the loss of the Weasley name everyone moved away from him and he ate alone.

Over the next week Harry, Hermione and Neville checked with the second years and found out that Greg and Millicent had indeed stopped many of them from being picked on and abused by any House. Hermione and Harry spent the weekend writing a response to the repentant Slytheren and figuring out a way to get it to him and not get him caught by his House Mates.

Monday after lunch Harry caught up to Goyle on the way to Potions and sent a light tripping hex at him causing him to fall to the floor. As he began to stand Harry goaded him "What's wrong Goyle, not smart enough to walk and breathe at the same time"? Greg looked hurt as Harry stepped closer and grabbing Greg by the front of his robes whispered "Sorry Greg, this has to look good, Snape's right around the corner and this will make sure your change of heart isn't uncovered". Shoving a note in his hand Harry continued, "You need to hit me in the stomach and it has to be convincing".

Greg's eyes cleared in understanding as he yelled, "What did you do that for Potter! This will teach you to trip a snake". He punched Harry as hard as he could, doubling him up and putting him on the floor. Just then Snape made his presence known and took twenty points from Harry while giving thirty points to Goyle for demonstrating an effective muggle fighting style.

Later in the Slytheren Common Room, Greg and Millicent where at a study table together reading the note that Harry had given him.

Greg and Millicent,

We are glad that not everyone in Slytheren follows the Malfoys without question. Thank you for looking after the first years last year and continuing that good work again this year. Be careful Millicent as one of the second year "Puffs" now thinks of Greg as her hero, and I think Millicent has replaced me as Dennis Creavey's newest inspiration. They both smiled while holding hands under the table and continued reading. Sorry about what I had to do to get you this note, but I had to make it look real. Hermione and I have decided that you two are worth helping. Please come to the seventh floor hall by the tapestry of Barnibus the Balmy at 7:oo pm Friday and I promise we'll explain further then.

Harry and Hermione

Ron was confused and angry, confused that he now lived in a different house with only his mother who had begun using her maiden name while he was now a Dumbledore. He was angry that, for some reason, every Gryffindor (the whole school for that matter) seemed to be avoiding him, and he could trace it all back to Harry "Bloody" Potter and his no good Mudblood whore Hermione Granger. The bitch would be his, as his mother promised, and he would take something precious from Potter.

Draco couldn't understand how every time he tried to take down Potter it had always turned around and blown up in his face. It was time to turn his efforts towards Granger, since as a mudblood she had no status in the magical world and he knew just who to go to for help.

Ron was terrified after waking up from being stunned and finding himself tied to a chair in an empty classroom. "I have a deal for you Weasel, you help me take Granger from Potter and you can have her to do whatever you want with. What do you say Weasel, if I untie you are you in"?

Ron's eyes glazed over at the thoughts of what he would do to Hermione and nodded his head at Draco. After being untied and shaking Draco's hand he vowed to do whatever it took to hurt Potter and asked, "So what do you have in mind Ferret"? "Well, since she has no status in our world and we are pureblooded wizards I found an old law that allows us to claim her as our "plaything", I don't want her, I just want to hurt Potter, but if you want to sully yourself in that then I leave her to you". Ron smiled for the first time in six months, "When do you want to do this" he smirked.

Thanks to a quick warning from Millicent and some checking with the goblins and Hermione and Harry had a response for when Ron and Draco came up to them the following Monday.

Ron and Draco approached Hermione and began speaking as one. "Hermione Jane Granger, by the Blood Borne Act of 1312 we Ronald Billious Dumbledore and Draco Scorpious Malfoy do here by claim you as our slave and command you to leave your table and follow us".

As Hermione dropped her silverware and stood up with a glassy look in her eyes, both boys sneered as Harry had a look of horror on his face. They turned to lead Hermione out of the Great Hall when they heard first Harry then Hermione begin laughing. Finding Hermione sitting back on the bench, in Harry's arms, laughing at them, seemed to break the two boys and both drew their wands. Not quickly enough as Harry and Hermione petrified them and watched as the crashed backwards on to the floor.

"Did you really think that enacting a law from 1312, which was repealed in that same year by the way, was going to get your revenge on Harry and me? Let's start with the fact that neither of you did any real research on this, if you had you would have found that

A: It was repealed almost as soon as it was enacted.

B: It was meant to protect Mundane Born, not enslave them, that's why it was repealed.

C: If you had bothered to check with your fathers you would know that I have recently taken up the mantle of Head of House for the Ancient and Noble house of Granger.

D: By doing so I enacted a betrothal contract to the Potters, and it was accepted.

E: Now making me Lady Hermione Jane Granger-Potter of the Ancient and Noble House of Granger

F: Finally making what you two asshats have done Line Theft and punishable with your lives".

As she had been speaking lightning had been arcing between her fingers and her eyes looked like liquid amber. Ron and Draco began to visibly tremble as Hermione continued. "Neither I or my Husband have any desire to see either of you dead at this point, but justice must be meted out. Ronald, I am glad you were thrown out of your true family as it will same them some grief as to your demise and will only scar the name Dumbledore and not Weasley. As for you Draco, I know how your father preaches superiority but, are you aware that your family has been banned from ever returning to France where you once held Noble status and that here in Great Britain you barely rank as a Clan. I fear that unless your mother allows that thing you call a father near her once again that the Malfoy lines ends today".

Hermione rose from Harry's arms and face her attackers. "As Magic has blessed us all in this school, I now call on Magic to judge the worthiness of Ronald Billious Dumbledore and Draco Scorpious Malfoy to continue to be wizards in our society".

A silver mist rose from the ground and enveloped the two boys, lifting them off the ground and causing them to scream. After several minutes they lowered to the ground and the mist dissipated.

Draco was the first to react, "Ha Granger, were still alive. I guess Magic found us acceptable and now you die mudblood, ADVRA KADAVRA".

"Silly boy", Hermione spoke sweetly as if to a new born child, "Magic did not judge your life or death, but your ability to use magic. As you can plainly see those silly words you said had no effect, as Mundanes now have more magic in them than the two of you combined. The Malfoy line has ended and the Dumbledore's have a blot they may never recover from. It never had to be like this but neither of you seemed to have to capacity to think for yourselves and this is the end result". Hermione summoned their wands and snapping them called Dooby asking him to remove the squibs beyond the wards of the school; he was more than happy to comply.

AN: Sorry this took much longer to get out than I wanted but life has a way of doing that. I hope you liked the end of Draco and Ron, though I may still use them somehow possibly with some Goblin revenge on the two (Dragon Shit Shoveler maybe).
