Here's the next chapter. Please read it and let me know what you think thanks love Hannah xxx
Dumbledore entered his office and went to the floo throwing the powder inside and asking if he could speak to Molly. "Albus I don't have time to speak to you through the floo as I'm doing the washing up but please come through and talk to me personally if you like" she said as he did so. He called out the Burrow and stepped out in her living room dusting himself off and walking into the kitchen where she was washing the dishes at the sink. Magic could have done it for her but sometimes for stress relief she liked to do it herself.
He sat at the table as she gave him some tea and toast and asked him what was the news for today?
"Well Molly there has been a development where Harry Potter is concerned and it's not something I or anyone else who hears it has expected. When the Potter family were in Godrics Hollow someone informed them that Voldemort was on the way and so they thought that bringing their son to the home of the Smith family and changing his appearance to match theirs would be a good idea. They figured he could remain with the Smiths with his brother until such time as Voldemort had come and then they would return for their children at a later date. I found this out on the notification I received about this student. It is my assumption that they thought taking one child at a time would be safer than taking two of them in one go. Obviously using a spell they made people forget they'd ever had twins. Now James Sirius Potter as he's known has transformed back into who he was always meant to be. As he doesn't know what we've done to Harry it stands to reason he'll be easier to manipulate. Technically it should be Harry but if it absolutely can't be James will suffice!" he said as Molly fainted.
He revived her as she look around in confusion before remembering what had happened. She was amazed at all he'd told her and looked forward to being able to give Ginny a richer and better life then she'd had. "Essentially as long as she marries one of the Potters it really doesn't matter who it is. We have our own money now so that's no longer the motivation for me however it wouldn't be unwelcome either. My main concern is the status that this marriage will give her and indeed our family. I'm honoured however I know that old families had marriage contracts and I'm concerned that this might be the case with them. Is this the case with them?" she asked Albus who smiled.
"Molly dear even if it is the case with them as Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot I can get any ruling I wish to passed. It's not a skill I use very often but is one I can use should I ever wish to do so. I will investigate this and let you know of my findings. I know Harry has one with someone and I can tell you this much it won't be happening now or ever. I saw it once and although I don't remember who it was that no longer matters as I'll be stopping it all costs no matter who she is. He will marry only who I say he can. It just doesn't have to be Ginny now as we have James for that. Oh things are just about to get exciting for us all and don't sell yourself short my dear there's no reason you shouldn't have more money than you do now. They have buckets or money and should share it with you" he said seriously. He left heading back to school to investigate about the marriage contract not aware that Marco was also doing the same thing. He'd been informed when he asked if there was one that there was but he couldn't see it as someone else was viewing it currently.
Marco called both Harry and James back to the room where he was now meeting them as and when he needed to and presented James with his marriage contract. He saw that he'd have to marry Susan Bones. He was content with that as Susan seemed like a lovely girl. When he saw it she'd got the notification in her room and shrieked. She'd become a Potter the honour of this was intense. Marco had decided that if Dumbledore wished to see the contract he could as he'd soon be up to his eyeballs in lawsuits so he'd have to be very careful about what he chooses to do next.
Minister Fudge was at his desk when a lawsuit for Mr. Gailbraith Williams arrived. He had written those adventure books about Harry Potter using a pseudonym of Gailbraith Williams and never thought he'd ever get a lawsuit for it. He was the Minister of magic and had only written those books to keep everyone's spirits or morale's high. It had worked and now Harry Potter himself was challenging both him and ministerial publishing offices he'd used to publish them. He couldn't give back any of the royalties as they had gone towards improvements in his office and the ministry as a whole. He was outraged and decided that Harry would never get anything he ever wanted if this persecution of his excellent writing skills continued. He was entitled to write books which excited children and adults alike and wouldn't be apologising for it either.
Things were about to get very tough for Harry and the minister as neither of them was willing to back down however Harry did have leverage here as he'd not been asked for his permission. Granted he couldn't be found but that wasn't his problem. They should have searched until they did find him at which point he would have out right said no and they were never to publish anything about him without his permission. It wasn't important to him who did it really just that they stopped doing it. It may not have been written about James but even he could tell why it was wrong. His Smith parents had read him these books as a child but had always insisted they were reading these books for fun and that they weren't real. He was always told they weren't real and not to be truly believed so therefore he never did. He had realistic parents unlike so many of the other idiots from their world. Not once did anyone ever ask where Harry was except him and each time his parents would say they didn't know.
The Weasley boys had been read those books each night obsessively by their mother and told to shut up when they requested another book. She insisted all the stories within those books were true and that Harry Potter really had done all of those things. Charlie and indeed the twins didn't believe it saying it was illogical and couldn't all be true and learned not to say anything again when Molly burst into tears saying she simply couldn't do it anymore and that things were hard enough for them money wise without having her dreams shattered as well. Hadn't it been ok that she believed in what she was hearing about Harry? He did slay Voldemort after all so it was hardly unreasonable to think he'd slayed a dragon as well as various other magical creatures. She was so sick of Percy always acting like a righteous and pompous idiot. You know he didn't need to be right or indeed prove he was right every time. One of these days she'd hand his arse to him so hard he wouldn't know what had hit him the little prick!
He just had to be different didn't he? Always trying to make out that he was better than the Weasley's as a whole well no more Mr. nice guy!
