Chapter Thirty-Five

ARTHUR'S POV

I wake to a tapping on the window. I go over to the window and take the letter from the owl. I notice the Gringotts seal right away. I look towards the bed and see that Molly isn't there. I open the envelope and read the note from Griphook..

I smile and send a patronus to my five oldest sons. I tell them to gather anything they want to keep and to meet me at the twins' shop in ten minutes. I get dressed. I quickly pack anything I want to take with me and shrink it before putting it in my pocket. I go downstairs and see Molly is cooking breakfast.

Ron and Ginny come down. We all sit down at the table and start eating. "I have to go into work this morning, Molly. It seems someone thought it would be okay to make a muggle chainsaw move by itself and to go after people. I swear these spells against muggles just keep getting more dangerous with every day that goes by."

Molly smiles and says, "Okay, dear. Please be careful though."

I nod and finish breakfast. I apparate to the twins' shop and see the boys there. "Griphook has sent us a portkey that will take us to Harry. Everyone grab on."

We all grab onto the portkey, and I say, "Sanctuary."

HARRY'S POV

I go to Viktor's room and knock. The door is opened, and I see the whole Krum family inside. I smile and say, "I will be taking you down to the dining room, so you don't get lost."

Viktor smiles and says, "Thanks, Harry."

Everyone follows me to the dining room. I pause outside the doors. "Vik, your mate will be here. Try not to scare him."

I open the door, and we all go in. I notice the second that Viktor sees Blaise. He stops as soon as Blaise looks up into his eyes. I clear my throat and brake Viktor out of his trance. We all sit down, and the house elves bring in the food.

We start to eat. I say, "The Weasleys except Molly, Ron and Ginny will probably be here today. I also feel like the Delacours will come today as well. Also, I will be meeting with the leaders of the Batling Coven, the Howell pack and the elf community tomorrow."

I look at Hermione. "Herm, would you mind making copies of everything for the leaders? I would need three copies of everything."

Hermione says, "You know I wouldn't mind."

I smile at her and look at my mate. "Fenrir, I would like for you to be at the meeting."

Fenrir smiles at me and nods. After breakfast, I make my way towards my study. I am half-way there when I feel the wards alert me to someone arriving. I go to the receiving room. I find the Delacour family and the Weasleys waiting for me.

I say, "Fleur, it is so good to see you again. I'm happy your family decided to come."

Fleur smiles and says, "I was so happy when your letter came, Harry."

I smile and nod. I turn to the Weasleys. "Arthur, I'm happy you decided to come."

Arthur smiles and says, "Once I read what they had done to my sons and myself I couldn't stay."

I nod and look at Bill. "Bill, this is your mate Fleur Delacour."

The two look at each other and smile. "I had rooms prepared for all of you. I will discuss any changes I'm making in the wizarding world at lunch and dinner. In the mean time, I have to get ready for a meeting I will be having tomorrow. You may explore the castle and the grounds around it. Mipsy!"

A house elf appears. "You called, Master Harry."

I sigh. I don't know how many times I've told the elves to call me Harry. "Please show the Weasleys and Delacours to their rooms."

Mipsy nods, and I walk to my study. Ten minutes later, Hermione walks in. "Harry, have you thought about what laws you want to change first?"

"Yes. I want to change the creature laws first. Also I want to bring back our holidays. Halloween needs to be known as Samhain again. Yule is Christmastime. We also need to bring back Imbolic, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas and the Feast of Mabon."

Hermione smiles and nods. "Have you thought of any creature laws you want to get rid of or push through?"

I nod. "I've looked over the laws we have so far in the wizarding world for magical creatures. They are too restrictive. I've decided I want to get rid of all the creature laws so far and start from scratch. It's one of the reasons I wanted to meet the leaders of magical creatures before the headmaster/headmistresses. I would like to start integrating magical creatures into school. I only have one law so far for magical creatures."

I pul out the parchment and hand it to Hermione. She reads over it and smiles at me. "This is good, Harry."

"Thanks, Herm. Do you think everyone else would be okay with it?"

Hermione nods and says, "I don't see why they wouldn't be. Most of us are magical creatures or the mates to magical creatures."

"I also want to start referring to them as magical races instead of magical creatures."

The door opens, and Fenrir walks in. "It's time for lunch, guys. You can finish discussing everything afterwards."

Hermione and I follow Fenrir to the dining room.
