Hermione was nerves for she would be appearing in front of the entire Wizengamot to claim her titles of Heiress of four Houses. It was rare of a twelve-year-old to claim any title as it was but to claim four was unheard of.
"do not worry my dear you will do great. All you will have to do is stand still as a goblin runs a blood history spell."
Lucius Malfoy had agreed to accompany her and her farther into the hearing but had refused for Draco to come saying she would she him in a few days. Apparently, his mother wanted some quality mother son time to which she could understand.
"Severus my friend you seem just as worried as she does."
"yes, well once it is known who her great grandfather is, I fear she will be hunted."
"nonsense after all she is also the nice of Dumbledore. No one would dare harm her."
Once in the court room she sat and waited between the two men as Dumbledore addressed the court.
"Honorable witches and wizards of the Wizengamot I and here today to assist Miss Snape in calming her rightful title as Heiress of House of Dumbledore, House of Grindelwald, House of Potter and House of Prince."
The entire court was in an uproar until the Mister of magic spoke.
"Dumbledore explain yourself!"
"ah well as most of you know my late sister Ariana's child was stolen from her crib. But what most do not know is that the child was also Gellert Grindelwald child as well. Now I have now learned that the child was placed in a muggle orphanage. The child Rose Grindelwald whose name was changed to Erica Smith came to Hogwarts she fell in love and bedded a fellow student to whom name I do not know. She gave the child up as she had been only, she did not survive child birth. Her child was Scarlet Smith who latter married Fleamont Potter to which they had twins, Sophia and James Potter to witch Sophia was born first. Sophia and Severus Snape were romantically involved over the years, but they chose to keep it hidden. Little did Severus know she was with child for she died at child birth before he she told him, and the child was sent to an orphanage. That child was Miss Hermione Granger now known as Hermione Snape."
The entire court room was silent as they waited for the minster to recover.
"very well the goblin will now preform the required test."
Hermione stood still as the goblin walked around her slowly muttering to himself. Once he was done, he smiled and looked to the court.
"her claim as heiress is true. The child is the only true Heiress of House of Dumbledore, Grindweld, Potter and Prince."
"well then it would appear we have no choice but to validate her claim!"
"she is the descendent of a dark wizard she must be watched!"
"such a claim has never been done what of the Potter Boy!"
More shouts were heard until her farther stepped up to her side.
"you would condemn a child for an act of one man to which she does not know?"
"no of course not, no she is only a child. Yes, a child. Now her claim has been verified she will have access to all the inheritance of the four houses. Yes, proceed to Gringotts to which they will complete her claim."
"thank you minister pleasure as always. Come Severus."
Dumbledore guided her out as her farther and Lucius followed behind them.
"this is where I leave you my dear. I know thing will become quite frightful once others hear your claim, but you are safe my child."
"well of course she is, after all she is the heiress of four houses now and has the Malfoy family behind her."
"of course, Lucius, now I must leave I believe I need to how would you say, put out some fires"
The three watched as he left only for the two men to roll their eyes.
"well then to Gringotts"
Combining her inherence was easy since the goblin who did the test was helping them. But the looks she was receiving was not pleasant at all. With a sneer from Lucius or Severus they would turn away some would even run. Her cloak appeared just in time as someone had sent a hex her way.
"I believe we should retire of the day. Or perhaps a trip to the book store?"
She lit up with excitement at the hope of a new book. Grabbing both men's hands she all but dragged then down the street only to run into the Wesley's.
"oh, great it's you come to ruin more of Harrys live since you now stole his title."
"I didn't steal anything the title was rightfully mine as my mother was the oldest."
"how would you know you didn't even know the bitch."
"RONALED WEASLEY, why I never, you apologies this instance."
"no need clearly he is not sorry sine himself and Potter have been tormenting my daughter since the beginning of the year."
"oh, is what Professor Snape said true?"
"she deserved it!"
"why I, straight home you now!"
The three watched as the Weasley matron handled her son as if he was a five-year-old. Quickly they shared a laugh at the boy's expense.
"well I fear I must leave the two of you Narcissa will be waiting. Owl me if I am needed otherwise, I will see the two of you for dinner in a weeks' time."
"bye uncle Lucius give aunt Narcissa my love Draco as well."
He nodded leaving the farther and daughter to enter the book shop to which he knew they would most like be in till it closed for the night. After all, like farther like daughter.
