Disclaimer: My bills keep piling up so it's obvious I don't own Harry Potter. I do thank JK for giving us such a fun world to play in.

AN: I think you all for the support and reviews. I tried to correct a few mistakes from previous chapters which were pointed out to me and it kind of took a life of its own. I do hope you understand that after the events of the last chapter, Susan is going to be quite clingy and needy with Harry at least that is how I am seeing it. After what he did for her, she will also become much more defensive of him.

Chapter 10

Dobby and Tizzy were wiped out. Between the emotional highs and lows and their magical expenditure earlier, they were barely staying on their feet. In order to get Harry and Susan back to Marauder Manor, they had to pool their magic along with tap into Harry's to accomplish this simple task. The young family put on a brave show for the others but truth be known, they were all wiped out. Susan was much like the elves and was drained emotionally and magically while Harry was just emotionally exhausted. There was a strong desire in all of them to get home and recover from the stressful day.

Through her link with her family, Winky picked up on the things that were being kept hidden from the others and approached Jean. Jean had been speaking to David about how they had seemed to recover.

With pleading eyes, Winky asked "Mrs. Granger, I know I have my orders but my family needs me for tonight."

Jean said "What's wrong Winky?"

"Master is in the best shape of all of them but Mistress is close to collapse as are Dobby and Tizzy."

Jean said "They looked fine as they left. But if you feel you need to be there for them then go, we will be fine here."

Winky said "Thank you ma'am, I will return in the morning once I am sure Dobby and Tizzy are able to perform their duties to my Master and Mistress."

Jean smiled and said "In that case, just to keep you out of trouble, I order you to go see to your family for the night and return when they are back on their feet."

Winky stepped forward and hugged her saying "thank you" and popped away.

She arrived right behind her family and found Dobby and Tizzy on the floor where they had arrived. Harry was also sitting in the floor with Susan in his arms. When he saw Winky, she noticed the panicked look on his face. He looked up at her with relief on his face and said "They all just passed out when we arrived. I was trying to figure out who to help first."

Winky smiled and said "Master Harry, I know you love all of us but you do have other elves that could have helped you."

Harry smiled sheepishly and said "I know that Winky, I'm just so tired that I couldn't think straight. Umm….not that I am not happy to see you but why are you here?"

Winky said "I voiced my fears to Mrs. Granger and she ordered me to tend to my family tonight." She grabbed Harry by the shoulder and popped him and Susan to the master bath where she placed them in a lounge. She filled their tub and then vanished their clothes. Once the tub was full, she floated them over and gently placed them in it after pouring a potion vial in it.

Winky said "Master, I put a rejuvenating potion in the water to help. Master and Mistress need to stay here for a bit. I am going to tend to Dobby and Tizzy and I will be back to attend to you."

Harry said "Thank you Winky, you're a good elf."

She smiled and popped away. She grabbed Dobby and Tizzy's hands and popped them away to an elf bedroom. She expanded the bed and placed them both in it. Tizzy was trying to get up and was quickly put in her place by Winky.

Winky said "Tizzy, you will stay in bed this night and not get out. I will take care of Master and Mistress until you both are fit."

Winky snapped her fingers and several potion vials appeared. She poured the contents of a couple into each of their mouths and said "This will help you sleep and this will help you recharge your magic but only if you both stay in bed tonight. You should be able to return to duty in the morning but not until I say you can."

Both Dobby and Tizzy nodded their heads. Winky giggled and said "And no hanky panky either. You two need your rest. Let the potions do their job and don't fight it."

Another elf popped in at that time and said "Miss Winky, I is Wally and I will watch over these two while you tend to Master."

She nodded and popped away. Harry and Susan were in the tub sleeping as there bodies absorbed the potion. She went and sat down so she could watch over them as they rested. When they started stirring, she floated them out of the tub and cast a drying charm on them.

Susan said "Thank you Winky, how are Dobby and Tizzy?"

Winky said "They are resting and should be able to return to duty in the morning. Would Mistress like me to lay out some sleepwear for her and Master?"

Susan smiled and said "No that will not be necessary, I prefer my husband to be close at hand."

Winky smiled and said "As you wish Mistress. Would Mistress and Master like a snack?"

Harry's stomach growled at that time and he said "Yeah Winky that would be nice. Could you bring it to us in our chambers?"

Winky nodded and said "You two go get in bed and I will be right back."

As they got in bed and sat closely to each other, Susan asked "So, you said you have a lot to tell me. I'm guessing by what you have said that you met your mother and you had a long talk."

Harry said "Yes and before we get into all that, Mum said that your Mum and Dad send their love and to tell you how proud they are of the woman you have become. They also asked you to tell Amelia how grateful they are to her for the great job she has done in raising you."

A small tear ran down Susan's face and Harry kissed it away. He said "We will all be together again one day."

She nodded and quietly said "So what else?"

Harry told her all that he and Lily had talked about and what she had become. He told her that magic had chosen them to be the chosen ones to turn the magical world around. Susan sat there listening to his revelations and just nodded at the right times. Winky had popped in and left them some sandwiches to snack on.

When he was done, Susan asked "So we can have as many children as we want?" Harry smiled and nodded. "And no matter how many children we have, I will never show the effects and look like Molly?" Harry smiled again and shook his head. "And part of our gift is that we will stop aging in our mid twenties" Harry again smiled and nodded.

Susan said "Wow, I mean, we will basically stay much like we are now and I will be able to have my way with my sexy husband for many years to come."

Harry laughed and said "Yes baby, you will remain young and beautiful our whole lives. To be quite honest, for me it is just a bonus. I will love you no matter what, but to know I will have my sexy and gorgeous wife to play with for many years makes it even better. I think that lingerie store will remain in business for years to come."

Susan laughed and then turned serious. She said "Just promise me that I won't have to go through that again."

Harry put his hand to her cheek and said "Love, you know as well as I do that neither of us can promise that. If we are to change the world, we must always do what is right, even if that means putting ourselves in front of a coming storm."

"I know baby, but…but I actually lost you for a while."

Harry tenderly said "I know, but for me it was the only choice and would do it again. Susan, without you, I have no life."

"That's sweet my love, and I feel the same way but I do not want to raise our children alone."

"And I don't want you to. I plan on being there beside you for another hundred years or so."

She teased "Only a hundred? And I thought you loved me."

Harry chuckled and said "Sorry baby, but you are stuck with me until the day you die. And from Mum said, I'm guessing long after that as well."

Susan smiled and said "Well, I guess that will be okay. I would hate to have to start over by training a new man after finally whipping you into shape."

Harry just laid his head back and laughed.

Susan said "Not trying to change the subject, but I was curious as to why you offered the job of family healer to Winny without talking to me about it first?"

Harry replied "I'm sorry for not discussing it with you but she reminded me so much of Poppy that I couldn't resist. As many times as I was under her care, she always did everything she could to help me and I got the same feeling with Winny."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Hindsight Susan, some things Winny said just helped me put the pieces together. We already know the lengths Albus went to try and keep me under his control. After Poppy would do her diagnosis, many times Albus would show up and they would go 'discuss' my treatment in her office. My guess is that he memory charmed her, obliviated her, or just cast some hex on her. I can remember her coming towards me with a determined look on her face and suddenly raising her hands to her temples as if she had a headache."

"Well how did Winny know?"

"My guess is the healer's oath along with Poppy probably slipping some things from my file to her. I'm sorry I did it without asking you first. It boils down to the fact that we decided to use Goblin healers from now on and that is exactly what she is. Her being Poppy's niece was just a bonus."

Susan said "It's really okay baby, I liked her too. I would just like to have a heads up next time."

Harry said "Yes ma'am and while I am thinking about it, you probably need to invite Hannah and her parents to dinner tomorrow with the rest of the family."

Susan replied "I will send a note first thing. I think Auntie was going to speak with Minerva and Pomona tomorrow. She said something about striking while the iron is hot."

Harry laughed and said "Good for her, I think everything that has happened lately has really got her going. She will probably take over the Ministry next."

Susan said "She does seem especially driven right now. I think she just doesn't want to let us down."

"Okay, anything else?"

"I don't think so."

He pulled her close and said "Good, now come on over here and let's get some sleep. Love?"

"Yes baby?'

"I love you, thank you for guiding me home."

"Oh Harry, I love you too, thank you for coming home."

The cuddled up and fell into a nice relaxing sleep. Both took comfort in each other's arms and Harry made sure to keep her close in his arms just in case she had any nightmares about the events of the day.

**REV**

Around nine the next morning, Tizzy softly popped into the master suite. When she noticed that Harry was awake she asked "How are Master and Mistress this morning?"

Harry squeezed Susan tightly and said "I feel great and Susan doesn't feel too bad either."

Tizzy smiled and said "You two deviants need to get up and get ready for the day. Lady Amelia flooed and said she needed to come by for a few minutes this morning. She will be here in an hour."

Susan groaned and said "We will be down shortly. How are you and Dobby this morning?"

Tizzy said "We are fine and back to normal. At least as normal as Dobby gets. Winky and Wally made us lay in bed all night and made sure you were all right as well. I think Master made a good choice in bringing Winky into the family but she sure is bossy."

Harry laughed and said "That she is, and I think so too."

Tizzy said "Winky finally left this morning after making sure Dobby and I was able to perform our duties. She is very protective of her family."

Harry called out "Winky"

She popped in and said "Yes Master Harry?"

Harry said "Susan, Tizzy, Dobby, and I want to thank you for taking care of us last night. We are glad you are in our family."

Winky wiped a tear from her eye and said "Thank you Master Harry, It feels good to be part of a family again."

Harry said "Well, don't worry; soon you will be with your family all the time."

She nodded and popped away.

Susan called "Dobby"

He popped in and was excited to see his favorite people doing well. He said "Yes Mistress?"

Susan said "Harry and I want to thank both you and Tizzy for what you did yesterday. Your help made a big difference and I'm sure is why we are all here to live another day."

Both were given hugs by Harry and Susan and before she popped away, Tizzy said "Now, get up and get ready, Lady Amelia will be here in fifty minutes."

Harry laughed and said "Yes, little mum."

Susan jumped up and pulled Harry into the shower. She had decided that if she was going to have to get up, then she was going to start the day off right and that meant snogging and some detailed attention from her husband. She had to put her foot down as Harry was scared to touch her due to the babies. She said "Winny said it would be many months before we needed to be concerned. Now, get over here and show me how much you love me."

He did, quite thoroughly, and Amelia had already arrived before they made it downstairs. When she saw then running down the stairs holding hands, she smiled until she saw Harry reach around and pat her butt.

She said "Didn't you two get enough yesterday? My gods, you already have triplets on the way and I'm surprised that didn't scare you into slowing down at least."

Susan smirked and said in a saucy voice "Sorry Auntie, Harry didn't want to but I convinced him otherwise. What can I say; I just can't seem to get enough of my husband."

Harry blushed as Amelia rolled her eyes. Amelia said "Why don't we eat a little something and chat for a few minutes?"

They went to the small family dining room and sat down. Harry had held out their chairs for them but as soon as he sat, Susan jumped up and went over and sat in his lap.

She looked at Amelia and said "Sorry Auntie, I just need him close to me after yesterday."

Amelia nodded and said "I'm sure you do. Why don't I just jump right in? I am going this afternoon to see Minerva and Pomona. Before I say anything, are you sure this is the route you want to take?"

Harry said "Yes Ma'am. I can never again place my faith or trust in either one. While they could remain teachers, I don't feel they show the qualities I am looking for in a Deputy Headmistress, Headmistress, or even a Head of House."

Amelia said "I see that brings up another topic. What do we do about Snape?"

Harry laughed and said "If Mum was right, he took care of himself."

Amelia asked "What do you mean?"

Harry said "When Mum stripped Voldy of his magic; he tried to open a connection through his mark to pull their magic into himself. Instead of pulling it in, Mum pulled it out of Voldy and pushed it out through the mark. If her theory was correct, it should have killed any marked Death Eaters."

Amelia said "So that is what happened. There were reports of a bunch of people falling to the ground screaming and then burning up. We even lost quite a few in the Ministry."

Harry pumped his fist in the air and said "YES! Not only did we get him, we got his followers too. That makes it even better."

Amelia started chuckling and said "Well, I think we have cut the information link for the Order as well."

Susan asked "How so?"

Amelia said "Well when we took Voldy's body to the veil, Moody approached me with his cohorts and asked if they could take my deal. I responded by showing them his body and told them the deal was off and to go clean out their lockers. With Arthur and Tonks gone, they want have anyone to keep them informed of Ministry activities. I also may have stated that they gave up their careers for someone who didn't trust them as much as they did him and that they backed the wrong leader."

Harry said "Good for you. I bet that really confused them. When are the trials?"

Amelia replied "This Wednesday, I have managed to pull a Fudge and put it in front of the whole Wizengamot. As you were the one who were wronged, your vote cannot be cast in the decision and I am going to prosecute in the name of the Potter-Black-Bones family."

Harry asked "What do we need to do?"

Amelia said "Nothing yet, but I do need to bring this to your attention." She laid down a copy of the Daily Prophet.

Susan picked up the paper so they could both read. They were met with a large bold headline.

YOU-KNOW-WHO-IS HERE-NO-MORE!

By: Rita Skeeter

Yes readers, you have read it right. You-Know-Who has been defeated. This reporter was luckily in the atrium of the Ministry of Magic yesterday when a procession made its way through being lead by Madam Bones and Lord Ragnok of Gringotts. They were escorted by at least fifty armed Goblin warriors and went straight to the Death Chamber that houses the Veil.

I personally saw the body and the head of You-Know-Who be levitated in front of the Veil by Lord Ragnok. He and Madam Bones banished the body through the Veil ended the threat of You-Know-Who forever.

In an amusing confrontation, Minister Fudge and Undersecretary Umbridge tried to take credit for the victory but were quickly silenced by Madam Bones. Our own Madam Bones stated quite loudly that the true heroes of this victory were none other than Harry Potter and the Goblin Nation. We also learned that Mr. Potter was not present due to the fact that he was comatose and near death due to his efforts. Further investigation by this reporter unearthed the rumor that Mr. Potter had actually lost his life in the attempt but I can neither verify nor deny this claim.

There have also been reports of many suspected Death Eaters following their leader to his death. At this time, there are too many rumors and not enough truth and unlike in the past, I will not write about it until I have confirmation.

This message goes out to Harry Potter. If you are out there and I pray that you are, I offer my sincere thanks for taking this threat from our world. I would also like to publically apologize for my part in the efforts to discredit you. Harry, please forgive me and allow me to tell your story and set the record straight.

Harry and Susan sat there quietly. Harry finally said "this is going to change some things isn't it?"

Amelia said "Probably, but it might be a good idea to grant Rita the interview and tell your story. And I mean the whole story."

Harry looked up and said "Let us think about it. If we agree, I would like you to be there as our advisor and to control the interview."

Susan spoke up and said "Love, you don't have to reveal everything. I think your meeting with your mother could be glossed over. There is no need to share that information."

Amelia looked confused and asked "So you did have a meeting with Lily?."

Harry smiled and told her all that had happened while he was 'away'. At the end of the tale, she looked at them incredulously and finally said "Susan is right, that is news that does not need to be shared. I don't think the world needs to know the secret behind your power. Pass it on to your children. I think Bearclaw and Ragnok are already aware of it through Lily's journals."

Susan said "Ah, our first family secret."

Harry looked confused until Susan said "Love, every family has magical secrets. We have yet to discover most of them as of yet but this will be the first secret of OUR family's magic."

Harry nodded and said "Whatever you say Lady Susan. Now, what about the repercussions from the article today?"

Amelia said "Shouldn't be much. Unless you do the article and reveal your new status, no one will know that until Wednesday when it will come out when I put forward your proxies."

Harry started to say something when Susan laid a hand on his and said "Love, the article may be for the best. This article already suggests that you were the one to defeat Voldy."

He cut her off and said "We"

"Yes baby, I know that but we can tell our story at a point when public opinion of you is at its greatest. It would also help sway the opinion of the public in the upcoming trial of the Weasleys and Albus."

Amelia added "I think that it would also help to ease any backlash from the public when you finish settling some debts owed to you."

Harry asked "Auntie, what are your plans for the future?"

Amelia smiled and said "Funny you should ask that as it has been on my mind a lot lately. With the threats quickly coming to an end, I thought I would start training a replacement. You, my dear nephew, have shown me that my duty resides with my family and not the ministry. I was thinking that I could enjoy being a grandmother and if you desire it, remain the public face of our family."

Susan snickered and said "Are you really ready just to be a grandmother?"

Amelia paled and said "Oh crap, I just remembered what you said. Just how many children do you plan on having?"

Susan smiled and said "Well Auntie, our plan is to at least restart the main lines and reforming the ancient houses. We feel that we control too much and would like to split the lines once again."

"How many?"

"Anywhere from eight to twelve boys, however many girls come along will be fine with us as well."

Amelia was stunned "You plan on being pregnant for the next twenty years?"

Susan laughed and said "Merlin no, Lily taught Harry a charm to aid in the conceiving of multiples. We will probably do this every few years. We have also decided that every child will be a Potter first and then named with their house. Our first born will be Potter-Black-Bones and even as they are adults will remain Potter-Bones or such."

Amelia said "I'm impressed; you two have really planned for this and thought this through."

Harry smiled and said "Yeah, its amazing isn't it? We actually sit and talk a lot of times."

Amelia blushed and said "Well that's good to know. Have you two decided anything for Hogwarts?"

Susan said "Other than not wanting to return, we were thinking that a change in leadership might solve most of the problems. The only thing we were really thinking about was expanding the curriculum and offering more classes. We thought that Runes and Arithmancy should be taught earlier. That would give NEWT students the opportunity to learn warding, curse breaking, and much more. We had thought that the last two years could be in apprenticeships for Masteries or even wand crafting and broom crafting."

Amelia said "Again, I'm impressed."

Harry smiled and said "Another thing that could be done is to have an eighth and ninth year to further educate and train students. You know, it might even be possible to offer a full healer course and apprenticeship and do it in partnership with St. Mungos. I thought that we could even offer masteries."

Amelia was glowing at their ideas and pulled out a piece of parchment and spelled it to catch up and then continue on. She looked up at them and said "Don't stop now."

Susan said "First and foremost, it will take a person with vision to do this. It will take someone willing to do the absolute best for their students."

Harry said "Whoever takes the Headmaster slot needs to know that their job will be to put this dream into reality. But at the same time, they will have a Deputy to handle administration who will have a support staff to help. I also would like to see the school set up like many muggle universities. That would mean hiring enough staff to form departments for each subject with department heads. It would also allow early apprenticeships along with research."

Susan added "I think we could do the same for the 'crafting' side as well. It may even be possible to have the Unspeakables get involved with the research done at the school. It would also give them a chance to recruit and guide early."

Amelia stared at them for a minute and said "You are proposing quite a bit. How would we fund it and where would we put it?"

Harry said "Currently, the castle is only being used at a quarter or half capacity. Much of the castle is closed off and not accessible. I suggest we open it back up."

Amelia said "How do you propose to do that?"

Susan said "We will just adjust the wards of the castle to do so."

Harry said "Due to yesterday's efforts, since we ended the Slytherin line, we now have full control. As far as funding it goes, we have access to the Founder's vaults. They can be used as they were intended, to educate another generation. There may be a draw on the funds at first but once we get it all up and running, those funds will replenish and grow. If that is not enough, with the inclusion of the apprenticeship programs, I'm sure the school could be subsidized by interested companies and institutions. I could see St. Mungos providing staff for the training if it meant that the problem with a lack of healers was about to be eliminated. Same goes with Aurors, Unspeakables, and every other field out there. Hell, just having a decent and encouraging potions master will make all the difference in the world."

Amelia said "This is just incredible. If these dreams could become a reality…."

Susan cut her off. "With the right people, they will. That is where you come in, you may be our public face but you will be the driving force behind all this."

Amelia smiled and said "You do know me well don't you."

Susan said "Yes Auntie I do. I know how tired you are of dealing with the incompetents in the Ministry and I thought that a new challenge would be just the thing. Just because this challenge coincides with our vision for the future is just a bonus as my husband is fond of saying. I also think with the rapport you have developed with Ragnok and Bearclaw, the three of you could figure out the financing."

Harry said "The future of our world rests with bringing together the intelligent magical species. Eventually, we would like all magical species to be able to learn at Hogwarts. I know that will be difficult at the present but to have teachers from the other magical races will be a huge step in the right direction. One last thing, whoever leads the school will be required to implement a no tolerance policy. Bigotry, racism, blood purity, and bullying will not be allowed to flourish there again."

Susan nodded and said "Auntie, we know we are asking a lot. I'm sure it will take years to implement this plan. The only point we expect to be done at once is the no tolerance policy."

Amelia looked at her watch and said "You have given me a lot to consider. There is no question as to whether I want this opportunity. This job is enormous and will take a lot of time and I truly want to be able to spend time with my family."

Susan said "Well, the Bones wing is finished. I think you should put Bones Manor in stasis for the time being and just move in here."

Amelia teared up and said "I would like that; the manor hasn't been the same since you moved out even though it has only been a week or so."

Harry stepped around the table and said "We would love to have you here but that does create a dilemma."

Susan asked "What's that Love?"

Harry smirked and said "We are going to have to hurry if we want to christen that wing before she moves in."

Susan laughed as Amelia rolled her eyes. Susan said "I like the way you think my love. Maybe we should start this afternoon."

Harry smiled and said "I think we have some Head of House duties to attend to first."

Susan asked "What?"

Harry glanced at Amelia and said "I think it is time for a few letters to be written."

Amelia said "I don't think you should burn too many bridges at once."

Susan snappily said "Forgive my rudeness Auntie but why not? Where have these so called friends and allies been? My husband just lost his godfather and have they offered any condolences? Have they tried to help at all? No, all they did was turn their backs on him. At this point, we don't need them."

Harry watched as Susan got fired up and Amelia could not fault her for it. Harry came up behind Susan and hugged her. He whispered "You are just so damn sexy when you get all fired up."

Susan blushed and turned to kiss his cheek. Susan turned back to Amelia and said "Auntie, I'm sorry. I lost my husband for a while yesterday all because most of our world is too selfish to care for anyone but themselves. You said it best yesterday when you said you knew who our family's true friends were. As far as I am concerned, anyone else can just go screw themselves."

Harry smiled and said "Damn, another fiery Lady Potter. Life with you is going to be a lot of fun."

Amelia smiled and said "Apologies are not needed my dear, I'm just used to the political maneuvering and to be honest, I agree with you. You go write your letters and I think I will go and bring a couple of witches down a few notches."

Harry said "Have fun with that."

**REV**

Amelia arrived at the Hogwarts' gates and was allowed entry by Hagrid. He made small talk on the way up to the castle and even asked quite bluntly about Dumbledore and Harry. She rebuffed him saying that she really couldn't discuss the matter with him as it was an open case.

Once at the doors, she thanked him and then made her way to Minerva's office where Minerva and Pomona were waiting. As soon as she entered, she was greeted with hugs and asked if the stories were true.

Amelia sighed and said "Yes, Voldemort is dead for good this time. Yes, Harry was involved."

Minerva looked at Amelia and said "That is not what you came for is it?"

Amelia looked at her two dear friends and said "No it isn't."

Pomona said "Well spit it out. No point beating around the bush."

Amelia asked "What do you two know of Mr. Potter's heritage?"

Minerva looked down. Pomona said "So what has that boy done now?"

Amelia sighed again and said "I had hoped for the best in this meeting but I can see I was wrong and was blinded by our friendship."

Minerva looked up and asked "What do you mean?"

Amelia said "You Minnie knew all along and allowed Albus to play his games with Harry. Did you know that his 'best' friends all turned against him at the end of the year? Did you know that Miss Granger had been enslaved by the Weasleys?"

Minerva looked down in shame again.

Amelia then turned to Pomona. She asked "Did you encourage the torment and accusations of Harry in your own house?"

Pomona said "Who told you this? They are liars."

Amelia said "So now Susan is a liar."

Pomona paled and Amelia started again. "Most of the betrayals have been revealed and to think you once called yourselves friends to James and Lily. Were you in on the plans? From what I have gathered, it is my guess that all of you were trying to see Mr. Potter killed. Well guess what? It finally happened yesterday. Harry WAS killed in his attempt to rid the world of Voldemort. What truly amazes me is that despite all that has been done to him, he did it anyway."

Minerva had tears running down her face and Pomona was just staring at the ground. Finally she raised her head and asked "What does this have to do with Susan? And how could Mr. Potter have killed Voldemort if he was dead?"

Amelia said "Not that you really care but my Susan stood beside Mr. Potter when all of his friends had turned their backs on him."

Minerva said "Why would she do this?"

Amelia smirked and said "Because, unlike the rest of you, she loved him."

"How?"

Amelia said "They had connected as babies and that connection remained. They had been attracted to each other since first year but both were too shy to do anything about it. They grew closer during the DA and have remained at each others' side for the last several weeks."

Minerva said "His relatives would never allow it."

Amelia smiled and said "Hell Minerva, his relatives were in on it from the beginning. Luckily, Lily didn't trust any of you and made plans that made Albus' manipulations look like child's play. She wanted Harry with her sister and she and James made fake wills just to manipulate Albus into doing as she wanted. Oh yeah, Sirius did the same thing. I guess you can imagine the surprise that awaited everyone on Friday."

Minerva couldn't say anything.

Amelia said "Yeah so, Sirius emancipated Harry and left him his titles. As soon as he was emancipated, the Potter wills were read and Harry was now Lord Harry James Potter-Black. So Minerva, who does that make Harry now?"

Minerva mumbled "Along with all the other lines, he is now Lord Gryffindor and Lord Ravenclaw."

"Exactly"

Pomona said "So where does Susan fit into this?"

Amelia grinned evilly and said "Pomona, who is Susan?

Pomona paled and said "Lady Hufflepuff when she comes of age."

Amelia said "Okay, now we are getting to the good part. The staff at Hogwarts with the exception of a few have mistreated and suppressed the rightful heirs of Hogwarts. Now, when Harry took his titles, it activated a marriage contract."

Pomona said "You didn't."

Amelia smiled and said "Damn right I did. House Bones was quickly dying, it was the only way to see to the survival of my house. They are now the emancipated minors Lord and Lady Potter-Black-Bones. The rightful heirs to Hogwarts."

Minerva said "But you said he died."

Amelia said "Oh he did. He was dead for about six hours. Well that was until Lily sent him back."

"Lily?"

"Oh yeah, and she is so looking forward to the day she is reunited with her 'friends' after the wonderful job they did of looking after her son. Harry was killed in the attempt on Voldy as he was protecting Susan. In her fury, Lily ripped away Voldemort's core and created a backlash across the connection which should have killed any marked Death Eaters. You might want to see if there is a pile of ash in Snape's quarters by the way."

She continued "I watched as Harry died, Susan, well let's just say she wasn't too happy about it and called upon the sword of Gryffindor, which came to her by the way, and she beheaded the bastard."

Both ladies just sat there stunned. Amelia smiled again and said "By killing Voldemort, they earned the Slytherin title as well so now they have full control of the castle. My friend Lord Ragnok told me that when Susan got fired up, she reminded him of Lily. You know, I don't think I would have ever wanted to piss Lily off and now new pissed off Lady Potter in this life just itching to have a go at you and you have the same waiting for you in the next one. Two of the people she trusted above all others have done that. I am sorry to say that Susan has decided that you are no longer family and that is my whole reason for this visit, I can no longer remain friends with you."

Pomona crankily said "So you are letting two teenagers dictate your life?"

Amelia smiled "Not at all, they offered me three new jobs that I believe I will find quite rewarding."

Minerva asked "May I ask what they are?"

Amelia said "Well first I am the family proxy in all titles and positions and will be the public face of the family. My second job is that I will be a grandmother in about nine months and after all these years doing my duty, I think I will find it the most rewarding endeavor to date. My last job will be somewhat difficult; they have tasked me to create their vision of what Hogwarts should be."

Pomona said "And what is that?"

"I can't even begin to describe it; they want to turn this school into the utmost in magical education. They want to be able to do it all as the Founder's envisioned. Sadly, they feel that most of the staff will have to be replaced as they hold no confidence in the current staff's abilities or honor, well that's not entirely true, the said they had no faith in them personally."

Minerva was silently crying as Pomona stewed. Amelia said "Minnie, Harry said he had considered you his grandmother until the evidence against you kept piling up. All he really said about you Pomona was that after Cedric died, which hurt him deeply as they were close; you became another Snape to him. Susan is hurt the most that you would treat her husband that way and has asked that you never contact her again."

Minerva asked "Aren't they returning to school?"

Amelia said "No, they may work to make it better but they have both said that they no longer have the desire to put up with the people here."

Amelia got up and said "As soon as a new Headmaster is named, our first job will be to interview for all positions. If you choose to remain here, you will need to reapply but according to the heirs, under no circumstance will you remain heads of houses. You both have failed too many times in your duties."

Minerva asked "Amy, what of Albus?"

Amelia turned around and gave one of her rare smiles. She said "Loyal to the end I see. I'm not about to give away all my secrets."

AN: Next….letters and interviews? Who knows? I do see more drama coming up fast.
