Everyone reached Potter manor ,waiting for them was a ministry owl explaining to them about an emergency wizagamoat meeting in relation to the triumph over you-know-who and to discuss about the situation with the circumstances surrounding the defeat. As they read the letter, they understood that not everyone was sure about the actual truth many rumours are running around and them appearing in the Wizengamot would ensure that their fame and hold on the society would be consolidated. Hermione said " this emergency meeting will help prove your ability to be leaders in the society. As Madam Longbottom said " its was the duty of our ancestors and so shall it be our. I will help you in every possible way to achieve and consolidate your position. I will ensure that my past life will be occur again. I can't bear that my Harry had to suffer due to the manipulation of few. All I ask in return of this is the utter ruin of Dumbledore and Molly Weasley, they should have no power to control anyone's life." She was ranting and every nodded solemnly.
Madam Longbottom left to talk with the allies of the Potters and Longbottom, she had always maintained the relation and kept the alliance alive, in hope of keeping the legacy alive. The political game required skill and craft that rivals the most slimy Slytherin.
The Longbottom couple left to get Frank dressed in the traditional wizengamot, while Sirius left to Twilfitt and Tatting to get the Lord Black robes. James retrieved his robes from the manor office. Lily dressed in a navy blue robes with a golden piping and the Griffinydor crest on her right side on the chest, indicating her position as Countess of Grffinydor. Lily gave Hermione a set of robes that Dorea Potter had made for Hermione, it was a black robe which was in laid with red and had gold trimming. Hermione thanked Lily as she explained that the robe had an auto fit charm on it and also her birthday mother has woven in numerous protection on it as was on James' robes. Hermione went and get ready and had arranged her hair in a French knot and put on a little make up, all while her thoughts were know how to tackle the wizarding world and ensure that Harry lives a secure life but is able to hold the mantle of Earl of Griffyonder amongst other things. The Potters including Hermione was ready and as decided among the Longbottoms and Sirius in the ministry office assigned to wizengmot member. Lily decided to take Harry with her as she was still in shock that someone wanted to sacrifice her family and child to their benefit. The future as described by Hermione had Lily to vow that she will do everything in her power to protect her family and help change the future her sister in law had to bear and fight to survive.
Once they were ready and assembled in the main lounge they flooed into the Potter suite of offices, where upon reaching Hermione conducted a sweep to detect any spying item like listening charms or some recording items and it turned up negative. James and Lily looked at her their eyebrows raised in questions and she explained her actions. James said " I never expected something like that but now I am not sure of anything. Thank you Mia for having the ability to foresee all these issues we tend to forget." Hermione nodded, just then the floo turned green and Sirius exited looking very dashing in a well cut Black robes holding the Black crest on his breast pocket and left sleeve. He wore it open and had teamed it with Black leather pants and Black silk shirt , his hair was pulled back and held with a leather strap giving him the high class aristocract look and Hermione was staring at him. She remembered her Sirius. The one to whom she was attracted to as a 15 year old. She watched him as he smiled at James and Lily, he took Harry and kissed him on his head and looked at her. She felt herself blushing.'Dear Merlin' she thought 'He looks good enough to eat.' " Hello Kitten, you look beautiful. Isn't she pup???"he said looking at her and then at Harry. Harry bobbed her head and looked at her. He didn't know her per say. He was shy and smiled at her,but kept a hold on Sirius 's robe. Hermione smiled at Harry and held out her hand. The child seem to consider her then smiled and extended himself to her. She took out and she felt her heart full. She thought ' this is my Harry. I promise you to help you live a full and happy life without any manipulation and with real friends.' Just then the Longbottoms came in with Neville and Augusta. Everyone greeted Madam Longbottom as per tradition. She returned the greeting and said" the alliance had been informed of your intention and they will support you based on your intention. I know that most of the houses had lost importance with Charlus Potter's death. They are happy at a Potter is taking up his mantle. I believe you three men have a plan. Sirius was the one who spoke " Madam, I have a plan but I need help to make it foolproof.I contacted Aunt Cassi, she has a soft corner for me because of Ma P. She gave me some paper which proves that Minister Bagnold took bribes from number of people and many a laws were passed for benefit of some group of wizard or to be more specific the dark faction who paid her and her people well. I think presenting this will help remove her. It was her and Crouch's plan to validate the use of the unforgivable and the law was misused by the aurors and others who favoured the dark tossed. Also she and some others were working on a muggleborn registry act which was to bring all the muggleborn and keep tab on them." James had a look of glee on his face. They could see the cogs turning in his head. James was a natural leader, be it of the marauders, the Griffyonder quittiach team or the house as a whole. He had a way about him to which made people see him as a person to guide them or decide things. The marauders were great at strategy and could handle any situation with an ease which was necessary as they were prankster and it was necessary to have escape plans in place when they play pranks. James said" I will hold the information Padfoot, we need the leverage and it is for sure that she would have to resign and these parchments will serve the purpose of forcing her and ensuring we can have our way for punishing the death eater. I can't wait to get Lucy and Snivelling Snape. Hermione gasped and everyone turned to her, she slapped a palm on her forehead," Malfoy and Snape will wiggle their way out because of pure blood laws and Dumbledore. I suggest passing an emergency law to ensure that everyone is questioned under Vertiaserum and checked for the dark mark, knowing that everyone will protest you will have to word it such a way that it sounds like you are trying to save the image and reputation of the purebloods. Another thing we need to focus on is Crouch Sr, he is widely believed to be Bagnold's successor and while he is straight forward man with a iron fist , he is wrong for the society and in my past he had his son thrown in Askbhan and then smuggled him out using Polyjuice potion and his wife took the son's place and died there." Everyone shuddered at the fate of Mrs Crouch and treasonous behaviour of Crouch Sr. Hermione continued " inorder to ensure that Crouch is taken out of the ministry we can play the wergild card. Frank can request for wergild for the attack on his family from the Lestrange family who comes under the Black family primacy as there is lack of heirs and heads if I am right and from Crouch family and this will break the reputation held by the man. He would be forced to step down. He may continue in the ministry but I have some plans for that." Everyone looked at her in awe. Her plans of executed well can be flawless.
Sirius said" Excellent point there Kitten, we need to play it out properly. " Sirius took out a sheaf of parchment and waved his wand over it, writing spread over the parchment and soon he had a dicta quill writing a letter to Gringotts instructing the vault of Bellatrix Lestrange be thoroughly examined and all the gallons and expensive jewels that are not heirlooms be transferred to Frank Longbottom
But held in a separate vault. He also requested a prompt response on the completion of this process.
He made a copy and gave it to Frank. Sirius said" you are free to use the funds as you see fit. I am just glad no harm came to you."
" Sirius, we thank you for the wergild though I will take some gallons in good faith and it would be best if you or rather we used the fund to develop the society. We all have been the muggle world and thanks to Lily it remains a fascinating experience. I am sure a little effort we can intergarte it here but maintaining the statue." Sirius agreed and said" my plans are more involved in cleaning the ministry. The ward Lily and I had developed for our runes project can be tweaked to throw anyone bearing a dark mark into a specially warded room and help interrogate them and have them to thrown in prison. Another thing is Mia told us about the dementor issue, the chances of them turning against us, i suggest we have them removed and develop a warded prison. I have a plan to create a type of security system which I can develop. If we get it through." Hermione looked at Sirius in awe but other seem not surprised but appreciate the logic presented by Sirius. It was well known among the Griffyndors that Sirius Black was the brain behind all pranks, he was excellent in potions,charms and runes, a deadly combination to play with. Hermione was suddenly sure of the way they had to go. The three men in front of her a had the expentional quality to lead the world and transform it. She felt Lily's hand on her arm. Lily said " they are expectional if they use their brains productively, James was so invested in being an auror and finding you , he forgot his duty towards his legacy. I want him to embrace it." Hermione nodded and called out to gain her brother and other two friends attention. She explained her plan in detail. They agreed to her. It was time to enter the chamber , so they left the room and walked towards the wizengamot meeting room in Level 10.
Meanwhile, Dumbledore had returned from his trip to meet a certain someone in Nurmengard. 'It was a great trip which had to be cut short because of the blasted wizengamot.' Dumbledore thought. He took trips their regularly often in disguise. Recently he developed a portkey to travel in and out. Dumbledore thought ' I am so relaxed after spending quality time with Gellert,maybe I should smuggle him into school and keep him there.' He was lost in his musings he missed Black accompanied by Augusta ,Alice ,Lily and the kids going into the wizengamot gallery.
The wizengamot was packed . Most of the tiers were occupied and people were exchanging pleasantries. The grey alliance which was headed by Potter and Longbottom families were huddled together under a mild privacy ward and being updated on the issue.Lord Fawley and Lord Macmillan were completely supportive and agreed to the plans while others where bit held back due to inclusion of Sirius Black in the alliance. Lady Marchbanks said that she was sure Lord Greengrass would stand by our side as long as we hold the grey faction. The Greengrass family were know to be netural but owing to the fact they had a long history of Slytherins, they were counted as dark. Just then Dumbledore swept into the chamber in his multicoloured clothes which was somehow eye hurting. He looked around and spotted Frank and James in the chair of Earl of Greenwood and Griffyndor and he look shocked and his jawed dropped comically. James looked amused. Dumbledore thought" what in Merlin's name happend". He wanted to go towards James and Frank and check if it was an illusion, 'they were dead weren't they?' He was frantic but stopped by Lord Odgen who asked him to commence the session. He has no choice, 'a public confrontation won't be good, I can tell James that his son died and do some memory charms around him to forget the child and the Dursley's.' Dumbledore was happy with his plan. He sat on the Chief Warlock chair and took the gravel " Seal the door, I call emergency wizengamot session open, the floor is open for any members claiming membership and other important house announcements." James nodded to Frank and got up " Lord and Ladies, it is my immense pleasure to invite Lord Black to our amidst. He accepted the lordship to the House of Black and is joining us today. Let us welcome Lord Black." Frank got up and clapped his hands which was soon joined by the Alliance and some netural houses.
Hermione was observing Dumbledore, she found to quite comical because Dumbledore was in shock and confusion. She couldn't wait to destroy his fame and goodwill and she had the perfect tool for the first step. She looked at the section holding the reporters from various publications and there she found the person perfect for the job.
