CHAPTER 3: Pre James 1376-1945 Part B
Sorry this is a little short as still trying to figure which story to do first.
In the House of Lords, there is a group of empty chairs equal to 1/3 the total, that stay empty, except 1 individual (usually), but sometimes up to every seat; is there to vote their proxies. Usually it is abstention, but not always. In the Lower House there is again a little over 1/3 of the House set aside for others, but no one says a word about them or their votes to anyone not in the chamber (A British Empire LAW). All anyone sees is weird, ugly, beautiful, or ordinary people there who, sometimes vote wrong.
Duke Godric Gryffindor was the last time a magic user was in line for the Throne. The House of House of Saxe-Coburg & Gotha has usually had multiple children. The first duke of Saxe-Coburg & Gotha was Ernest I, who reigned from 1826 until his death in 1844. He had previously been Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (as Ernest III) from 1806 until the duchy was reorganized in 1826.
Ernest's younger brother became King of the Belgians in 1831, & his descendants continue to serve as Belgian heads of state. Ernest I's second son, Prince Albert (1819–1861), married Queen Victoria in 1840, & thus is the progenitor of the United Kingdom's current royal family, called Windsor since 1917. In 1917, during the First World War, King George V of the United Kingdom announced that he, & all other descendants of Queen Victoria in the male line, would change their surname from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor. In a letter from Princess Elizabeth's father, King George VI following the wedding, he wrote about his sadness at giving her away, & his joy at her evident happiness with Prince Philip: Elizabeth II is a princess.
Their 1st & 2nd children: Margaret, Countess of Snowdon & Alexandra, The Honorable Lady Ogilvy were born before Princess Elizabeth became Queen, their third child, Prince Andrew, arrived in 1960 & the fourth, Prince Edward, in 1964. Prince Andrew & Prince Edward were the first children to be born to a reigning monarch since Queen Victoria had her family. The Queen & The Duke of Edinburgh's grandchildren are Peter & Zara Phillips (b. 1977 & 1981); Prince William of Wales & Prince Henry of Wales (born 1982 & 1984); Princess Beatrice Elizabeth Mary of York & Princess Eugenie of York (born 1981 & 1982). Beatrice on 8 August 1981 for My Story, this is changed from 1988. I also missed princess Anne born 1950. Sorry historians...
In 1826, a cadet branch of the house inherited the Hungarian princely estate of the Koháry family, & converted to Roman Catholicism. Its members managed to marry a queen-regnant of Portugal, an imperial princess of Brazil, an archduchess of Austria, a French royal princess, a royal princess of Belgium & a royal princess of Saxony. A scion of this branch, also named Ferdinand, became ruling Prince, & then Tsar, of Bulgaria, & his descendants continued to reign there until 1946. The current head of the House of Bulgaria, the former Tsar Simeon II, who was deposed and exiled after World War II, goes by the name of Simeon Sakskoburggotski.
It turned out that the magic of the Stone of Destiny's protections only prevented wizards from ruling Britain directly, through the Institution of the Crown. Minister of Magic, Fudge had learned thru Malfoy; the magic did not protect the electoral process from being manipulated by wizards to favour one group of muggles over another. None knew that Merlins third son's line, could bypass this.
I'd like to point out that James would be Ignotus' descendant, & it is said that Ignotus himself created the perfect invisibility cloak. Harry is a descendant of the Peverells, an ancient & magically powerful family (& so, potentially rich, like the Malfoys). He inherited the invisibility cloak that belonged to Ignotus, so presumably any family fortune would also have been passed down from parent to child. James was a Marauder & they sold several things to Zonks & other Joke shops. Remus used his money to research & develop the wolfsbane potion. The pure blood potion master he paid sold the rights to it & scadattled away.
Fleamont & Euphemia Potter were the parents of James. It was Fleamont who took the family gold & quadrupled it, by creating the magical Hair Potion ( 'three drops styles & colors even the most bothersome hair' ). He sold the company at a vast profit when he retired, but no amount of riches could compensate him or his wife Euphemia for not having a child. They had quite given up hope of a son or daughter when, to their shock & surprise, Euphemia found that she was pregnant & their beloved boy, James, was born.
The wizarding family of Potters descends from the 12-century wizard Linfred of Stinchcombe, a locally well-beloved & eccentric man, whose nickname, 'the Potterer', became corrupted in time to 'Potter'. Linfred was a vague & absent-minded fellow whose Muggle neighbours often called upon his medicinal services. None of them realised that Linfred's wonderful cures for everything from the common flu to the terrible pox were magical; they all thought him a harmless & lovable old chap, pottering about in his garden with all his funny plants. His reputation as a well-meaning eccentric served Linfred well, for behind closed doors he was able to continue the series of experiments that laid the foundation of the Potter family's fortune. Historians credit Linfred as the originator of a number of remedies that evolved into potions still used to this day, including Skele-gro & Pepper up Potion. His sales of such cures to fellow witches & wizards enabled him to leave a significant pile of gold to each of his seven children upon his death.
One of the Potters got together with the other groups & formed the HGFE&D Investment group. This invested in "Muggle & Squib" companies & individuals. Although the financial system of the Potterverse isn't covered in-depth, it would also be easy to imply that Gringott's pays interest on any gold they're allowed to make use of in loans; some vaults are like safe deposit boxes, while others are more like ordinary bank accounts. Gringotts is a business like anything else; I doubt the goblins love gold so much they'd work for free just to be around it. Behold the wonders of compound interest accrued over 10 years on a nest egg that is never touched. Linfred's eldest son, Hardwin, married a beautiful young witch by the name of Iolanthe Peverell, who came from the village of Godric's Hollow. She was the granddaughter of Ignotus Peverell. In the absence of male heirs, she, the eldest of her generation, had inherited her grandfather's invisibility cloak. It was, Iolanthe explained to Hardwin, a tradition in her family that the possession of this cloak remained a secret, & her new husband respected her wishes. From this time on, the cloak was handed down to the eldest son who became Potter in each new generation.
Occasionally, a Potter made it all the way to London, & a member of the family has twice sat on the Wizengamot: Thomas Potter, who was a member from 1612-1652, & who was a great supporter of the Statute of Secrecy (as opposed to declaring war on the Muggles, as more militant members wished to do) & Henry Potter (Harry to his intimates), who was a direct descendant of Hardwin & Iolanthe, & served on the Wizengamot from 1913-1921. Henry caused a minor stir when he publicly condemned then Minister for Magic, Gore Evermonde, who had forbidden the magical community to help Muggles waging the First World War. His outspokenness on the behalf of the Muggle community was also a strong contributing factor in the family's exclusion from the 'Sacred Twenty-Eight'.
A blood Alliance is where neither family can act against the other, & must help them to the best of their ability, up to 25% of their wealth or influence. The Potter Family had several Blood Alliances. The Longbottoms had been renewed every generation for over 500 years. Also over the same time frame, with marriages; almost every ally was brought into the Potter Family. As the Potters always had boys. One being the least & twelve being the most.
The young grandfather of Sirius was having a bad day. His new wife was giving him a major headache. He decided to go to Surrey & upset some muggle women. He came across 2 gorgeous girls walking on a street. He uses his magic on them, not knowing that they are squibs. He gets so hot that when he is done with the redhead & the blonde, he forgets to check for magic, & just Obliviates their memories & not checking to see if they were fertile. They were just muggles after all. Lilly's grandmother has a boy, James Evans. James's mom was in a cursed line….
NOTE: Giving in this AU, a 29 year Tech jump. So beginning DNA research are in their beginnings, not infancy. DNA profiling was developed a few years later in 1984 by English geneticist Alec Jeffreys of the University of Leicester, and was first used to convict Colin Pitchfork in 1988 in the Enderby murders case in Leicestershire, England. Thus began the journey of DNA 23, 2018 History of DNA Research -
His "Aunt" has a girl, & as a daughter of the House of Winton, a member of the Royal Family; 12th from the throne. The DNA showed that they had the same father, MI5 thought rape drugs was why, since neither membered a full weekend they had gone to Surrey from London to relax. The girl was put with her cousins, the Baron of Oxford family, as they were her blood, but not of the direct Royal family. A note was made in the special MI5 vault of a spare Royal, if needed.
James (Not Harry's father) mom dies when he turns 11 & a book appears on his bedside table. The girl is titled a Lady Euphemia & meets an older man, a Lord Potter, who has had three wives who all died without giving him a child. So he decided to try a Muggle Noble as she would accept the magic life easier. They have 1 still living boy before both of them are Assassinated, when her oldest had just turned 11 that day. James has a late marriage; the girl named Lilly is born 6 months later. Both Lilly's mum & dad die, the day she turns 11. The same day she gets a letter; from Hogwarts school of witchcraft & wizardry. Her sister Petunia goes to live with her other grandmother, her only remaining relative. Petunia waits for her mail from Hogwarts, & waits, & waits getting bitter. Severus Snape, who had befriended Lilly, telling her she was a witch, which was why she could call butterflies to her. She had asked, "why cannot Tuni do anything?" Snape replied, she's a muggle or squib, most likely.
The curse is broken, with the Birth of Harry, not Dudley as he is a squib. The Squibs can have a Squib, Magical, or non Magical child. The Non Magical carry a double Recessive gene, Squibs carry a Recessive gene. Magicals carry a Dominant gene. But it also carries the second gene, so that if over eleven generations, the Dominant is with a Dominant, there is a chance that the Recessive gene will come out, making the child a Squib. The third Recessive gene, which is paired with the Dominant gene, needs the forth gene paired with the second Recessive to make the Power. Weak if Dominant for over eleven generations. Normal from seven to ten. Strong from four to seven, & Powerful in one to three. This is what is needed to possibly change; per the Goddesses plan.
