Wills
He looked at the old man and said. "I know you didn't inform anyone of my presence today so I'll just make this short. I'm here for the will reading and I will not go away until I've heard it."
The old man looked at him and said in a grandfatherly tone. "But Harry you don…" Schwarz looked at the man with a lot of anger and hatred in his eyes and said.
"NO BUT'S OLD MAN! I'm here and you don't have to know jack shit about why the hell I'm here and if you got a problem with that then you can piss off. "
He looked at the old man and noticed that due to the blood his seat was rather uncomfortable. He just sighed a moment and then decided that this would need to be done or else that manipulative old man might act in his stead and then seize control of whatever Ezekiel had left him.
The goblin who was about to conduct the will reading just coughed once and said. "All beneficiaries are at the moment present except for one who is still a wanted felon and thus isn't able to attend but due to that fact her sister and also one of the beneficiaries is there in her stead. Albus Brian Wulfric Percival Dumbledore is here to oversee the handling of this will as by the plight that has been bestowed upon him as leader of the Wizengamot and the major change of the family of the House of Black. Let us start this will reading now. My name is Griphook and I shall lead the will reading as well as the handling of the personal gifts the Lord of Black wishes to bestow upon you."
A pensieve was brought inside by three goblins with one supporting the basin so the memory wouldn't leak out. The goblins set the bowl with the memories unto the floor in the middle of the room and a shape appeared right above it after Griphook had spoken a word. It turned into a man whose face and other features were known to all present. James Ezekiel Black stood there as a mere hologram of his memories contained within the pensieve. He looked at everyone present and then the spectre spoke.
"Hello all of you. I called you here to give you a list of the things that I am willing to give to all of you."
He looked around and then saw a woman with brown hair and looked at her for a few seconds and then said. "When I made this will I have made some special agreement with the goblins here. Andromeda I'm going to give you three thousand Galleons for just being my lovely young niece and for being absolutely adorable when you were young. I can still remember that you and Bella used to have such huge rows and that you would often try to hex each other whenever you saw each other. Too bad that Bella turned to that Dark Freak Voldemort or whatever he calls himself. So just so you know that you receive three thousand Galleons. I hope you and your husband spend them well and that you may get many more children and that your young daughter Nymphadora might get herself a younger brother or sister to bully around."
The woman looked at the spectre of her uncle and said. "He died three years ago Uncle. I hope that we'll meet again sometime after I've died…"
The woman closed her eyes for a bit and the spectre seemed upset about it. "I'm sorry Andy. The time I was made there was no sign that your husband would die. I'm sorry for opening up that wound within you." She sniffed for a few seconds but then smiled.
"It's alright uncle. There is no way you could have known that he died as you're just an old will that he's left."
The spectre seemed indignant: "Hey! I was made half a year ago! How was I supposed to know that your husband had died? I haven't seen you in ten years…"
Schwarz could not help lifting an eyebrow at that. " Ten years? Well then she still looks hot for someone who has a twenty year old daughter… But then again she might just possess the innate beauty most of the Black Family has." He received several weird look and said. "What? Am I not allowed to make a comment?" Still there were strange looks and then he said. "I like older women! Is that so wrong?"
He humphed for a second but a chuckle was heard through the room and Ezekiel just grinned. "It's not exactly accepted that young blokes like you fancies older women, Schwarz." A smile was resting upon the hologram's mouth and the hologram continued. "Well to wrap this all up, Andy you get three thousand Galleons." Then he paused for a moment and then looked at Narcissa Malfoy who was being accompanied by her son, Draco. "And there's my lovely niece Narcissa. Did you find it hard to be the common folk dear? Well let me indulge you by giving you a small gift in the form of three thousand galleons to sweeten the deal a little bit. And you can divorce your husband if you'd like to do that. He's worthless from this moment since he's incarcerated."
She nodded and then looked at the hologram and said. "Thank you Uncle James." With that she nodded in gratitude and then said. "Goblin I wish to divorce my husband this instant." The goblin called Griphook nodded and then called for a goblin to make divorce papers for Narcissa Malfoy to divorce her husband and thus taking her distance from the Malfoy family including her son.
She looked at the specter and said. "Thank you Uncle, Lucius hasn't been very kind to me after I bore Draco." The Malfoy Heir as well as the Head of the Malfoy family coloured and said. "Father has been moulding me to become his heir and I won't believe you that he would have abused you in a verbal kind." She looked at her son and raised an eyebrow. "I don't seem to recall that you ever spent that much time with me. Even when you were a child you were trained by him to become the heir."
She glared at the child and said. "I'm sorry but divorcing your father is simply the only way to make sure that his influence over me is released. You… don't have to fear him as I have done. You never were alone with him."
Ezekiel just nodded as he saw his youngest niece stop talking and then spoke up. "Well to my beautiful niece Bella I would like to give some three thousand Galleons as well as a small piece of advice top listen to the Head of the family and to be a proud and true Black." The hologram seemed to smile wryly for a second and then he focused on his cousin. " Sirius I know you're one cocky little bastard when you get together with your best friend James and I won't hold it against you even though I'm dead but I would like to give you half of my shares in the pranking industry that Zonko's has built up. The other half go to your best friend for being there for you."
Sirius looked at the hologram of his Uncle and then he looked at his best friend and squealed in joy.
"We got a major part in Zonko's James! Imagine the pranks we can pull on Old McG. Hogwarts will get what's coming for her!"
James Potter was also elated as his inner child surfaced again and he said.
"Yeah. Just don't go humping her leg once again Sirius. It was hard enough to live that down once she found out that you were an animagus."
That sent Ezekiel into gales of laughter as he imagined that old dried up prune get humped by a dog. He had seen Sirius in his dog form and then imagined that humping McG's leg. Narcissa just curved her lips a little, not unlike the greasy potions teacher and Schwarz was amongst those that were wracked by laughter. Sirius was red of embarrassment as his wife and daughters were laughing at the crude joke made by James and the visual images that accompanied it.
After he had calmed down a little bit he straightened up and then looked at Dumbledore and said. "Dumbledore I don't remember requesting you to be present. Why the hell are you here?" The old man was about to voice his opinion and then made a coughing sound to calm the people down a little bit.
"James I am simply here to oversee that the will reading goes smoothly."
Ezekiel snorted, an undignified sound and then glared at the old man. "Bullshit Dumbledore. I bet you are here to hear who is the new Head of the Black family so you might manipulate him into doing your bidding and help your little order of the stuffed falcon."
Dumbledore's face was impassive and the thoughts that went through his head were. "How the hell did he figure me out? It must have been a source within the order that has alerted him to the fact that it exists. Or it might have been Sirius who tipped him off by wearing the pendant."
"But first I would need to let everyone of Black blood as well as my honorary son Harry James Potter to swear an oath to abide to the head of the family's wishes."
The aforementioned people did so and Schwarz drew an ornately carved dagger from one sleeve and then clenched his had around the blade and said.
"I, Harry James Potter swear on my blood and magic that I will abide to the wishes of the late James Ezekiel Black."
When that was done the blood had splattered on the floor and the cuts healed immediately. Ezekiel looked at Dumbledore's calculating face and glared for a little while and then Schwarz drew away his attention by snorting about something and then resumed glaring.
Ezekiel glared at the old man for a few second and said. "Well now I got to give the title of the Head of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black to someone present and I'll have you know that I judged things very carefully to find someone who is able to lead the family through this war. The one who shall inherit the Title of Lord Black is…"
He paused for a second and Dumbledore's brow creased for a second.
He remembered the talk he had with Sirius the day before. "Sirius we mustn't let the Black Sisters get control, over the Black Vaults as well as the property. Andromeda wouldn't care if we used it but if it lands in the hands of Bellatrix or Narcissa the Order would have to move due to the fact that we sometimes keep meetings at your house."
Sirius had nodded and had said. "Well Albus I think I should be able to get it. I am the eldest male heir and thus should be able to get it. Uncle James always was fond of me but he often got irritated whenever I pranked him."
He grinned roguishly and then said. "But don't worry. If I'll get the property and title as Lord Black then I will make sure that you and the Order get to use the property available to me." Sirius had thought that he would easily get the title as he was the eldest male but fate had other things in mind.
"Harry James Potter…."
Ezekiel paused for dramatic effect and then watched the faces… the general emotion was of disbelief and shock. On Schwarz his face was written that he had an intense dislike how this situation had unfolded.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU RAMBLING ABOUT YOU DAMN GHOST!"
Ezekiel let a smile slip onto his face as he knew that he wouldn't be hurt and said. "Well I took my time to register you as one of us Blacks due to the fact that you accidentally drank some of my blood and thus are a Black by extension from Blood by me. And since you are through blood lineage a Black as well as a…"
Schwarz growled and Ezekiel paled a little bit and said. "I know you hate your relatives a lot for leaving you but please hear me out."
At Schwarz his glare the spectre just grinned even wider and said. "Well the reason why I chose you to be the Head of the noble house of Black is the experience you have with war should be able to make the right decisions. As of now you all, which is the members of the house of Black, shall obey Harry James Potter with whatever he wishes… he is the Head of the family and thus can decide what you do and when you do it. Narcissa if he tells you to strip then you'll strip without objection. God knows how much he likes his women older then he is. I heard that he was once screwing around with a 2000 year old vampire who was mighty pissed at him when he left her so I think he has enough power to try and rescue himself. In short: his word is law to you. Sirius if he asks for your hand in marriage you'll divorce your wife and then marry him."
The spectre looked at him and Schwarz slowly nodded and said. "I accept, I will don the mantle of Lord Black and then take care of my 'relatives'. And I'll maybe torture your soul a little bit for this stunt."
Ezekiel looked rather uncomfortable. "Now don't get hasty Schwarz… No need to torture me for something I did while i'm dead."
The spectre seemed to be sweating a little bit and then continued with the normal speech. "Now that's all for the moment. The goblins will make sure that all is signed and transferred. Narcissa have fun under your new Head of house Black. Andy, try to make Harry feel good. He's had a lonely life and needs some cheering up. Preferably naked…"
With a last laugh the man was gone and left behind a stunned crowd. They looked at the pensieve for a few seconds before Narcissa mumbled something about a prankster having his last joke and Andromeda mumbled something about ancient perverted uncles who didn't know that there should be no intercourse between families.
"Alright then. Miss Malfoy would you be… oh wait you are divorcing the prick so I probably should call you miss Black but then again there are the family ties so is it alright if I were to call you Narcissa?" Schwarz was looking at her and she gave a nod of consent.
"Well Narcissa since you are now once again within the Black family and I am the Head of the family I think it is best if the entire family including the mutt…"
He pointed at Sirius and then continued. "Would go and live in a house which would be able to support us. I think that from what James has once told me that there is a house at Grimmeul Place or something?"
Narcissa nodded and corrected him. "It's Grimmauld Place and yes there is the ancestral Black manor." She looked at him for a second as if gauging him before apparently finding him worthy and Schwarz just shook his head and said.
"I want you together your stuff and meet me in a pub called the Bloody Virgin tomorrow morning. And if it is possible then bring your sister with you. As she couldn't be here thanks to her status as a wanted felon I think she'd want to be with her family as much as possible."
Narcissa just gave him a look that clearly stated that she was appalled by his manners and he said. "Don't think of me as some ill-mannered young child because I can assure you that I'm not one of that kind. I'm eighteen and I know how to handle women like you. Hell, I'm actually surprised if I can't impress the Dark Elven king with my manners at the table. I'll see you later. Now I'm off to sign all the legal stuff before I go and check the place out. Mom, don't expect me home by the time when dinner rolls around. "
With that he followed Griphook who stood next to a door which led to an office filled with papers that were important to the Lord of the house of Black.
The people left in the room dispersed and lily and James came up to Dumbledore and said. "How the hell could this have happened? Now my son has to make sure that those Death Eaters are under constant surveillance and now that slut Lestrange is also under his care! I think I'm going to order him to leave Lestrange to the order as a prisoner so she can give us some vital information about You-Know-Who's movements."
James had made his opinion on the matter abundantly clear and Lily was about to reprimand him about it but couldn't find the words to speak. She hadn't really formed an opinion about the situation as it was all still sinking in. The information was slowly coming into her mind and she felt herself nodding without much conscious thought.
Schwarz was not pleased with the paperwork he would need to do. He looked at the quill he was using and he sighed for a moment. He looked at the goblin called Griphook and said.
"This is the last one isn't it?"
At a nod and a smirk from the goblin which looked disgusting to Schwarz he finally signed the last one and had a twitch in his hand from writing his signature so much on those papers as well as sealing the documents with his lifeblood.
He walked out to see his parents shout something about Bellatrix Lestrange and was not pleased about the interrogation they were planning. His eyes went red for a millisecond and then he drew his wand and pointed straight at James and muttered an incantation. Suddenly there was a toad sitting within the robes that James had once occupied. On the robes there was a message.
"Kiss the toad to return him to his original form. Signed, Harry James Potter."
With a grin in place he stepped into a shadow and appeared just besides his bed in his apartment and then he got out of the clothes and went to take a shower and clean the blood off of him. What would happen, would happen. He would go check out the house tomorrow morning around 5 AM and then get to the pub pretty fast to pick up the Black's.
Sleep was the only thing on his mind now and it came to him quickly…
Within the Potter mansion the stone pulsed with energy as it could feel a dark pull echo across the astral planes for one who might be able to wield its unfathomable power. it was within acase to be transported to a new hideout if all went well for the Order...
A new chapter finished within a day! I hope you like it people. In the next chapter the Black's will adjust to having an insane House-elf around as well as Bella getting a little bit emotional… in a good sense…
I would like to see some reviews on this one. It makes me happy and keeps me inspired.
So give me a review and you make me happy. Give me a flame and be ignored…
Reviews are always welcome…
