CHAPTER 2

Friendship and maybe more continued

Harry and Hermione arrived through the fire of the Leaky Cauldron and Tom, the innkeeper came over to them and said for Harry and Hermione to follow him. Hermione was following Harry her hand still in his which she actually didn't mind doing, which was slightly unnerving her as she had never felt that way before about any boy not even Ron Weasley, Hermione and Harry's other best friend.

Although Ron had on several occasions implied that he liked her more than a friend he had never done anything about it. She liked Ron of course but in a more brotherly way.

But Harry, he had never seemed like a brother and although she had never considered Harry in this way before she found herself now thinking it. As she and Harry were walking down the corridor Hermione pulled on Harry's hand and said,

"What's going on Harry?" He then quickly relayed

the contents of the letter he had received from Cornelius Fudge and told her that he had chosen her to be his companion for moral support. As He said this he noticed a small blush appear on her lovely cheeks. They had little dimples in them when she smiled Harry was sure he had never noticed until now. He heard a cough from in front of him and

turned to see the portly figure of the minister for magic, Cornelius

Fudge, and to his great surprise, Albus Dumbledore the Headmaster of Hogwarts. Also in the room was Griphook a senior goblin from Gringotts Bank with whom Harry had a vault along with the rest of the

wizarding world.

"Please sit down, and we will begin." Fudge said, nodding to two chairs.

"Harry as you know from the letter I sent you, One Mr. Sirius Black, has left you and inheritance." At this point Harry heard Dumbledore mutter a spell under his breath and what appeared to be a giant semi transparent sphere appeared around them. Dumbledore turned to the Minister and said,

"You have twenty minutes before the time bubble goes. I trust that will be sufficient for the task at hand." Fudge just nodded and continued.

"As I was saying, the following property is now yours.

1) Number 13 Grimmauld Place, London.

2) Godrics Hollow, cottage Dorset.

3) Number 4 Privet Drive, Little Winging, Surrey.

4) Potter Manor, located in Hogsmead Village, Scotland.

Along with this property comes the service of 200 House Elves and the contents of your parent's and the late Sirius Black's vaults will be transferred over to yours when you sign the papers. But, before we get to that there is some legal stuff we have to do Harry. If you will please rise and walk over to me" Harry obeyed, standing slowly, still

half dazed by the information that had just been given to him, and walked over to Fudge.

"Okay Harry stand very still please." Harry nodded and Fudge pulled out his wand and pointed it at Harry.

"By the power vested in me, I, Cornelius Fudge, declare this, Harry Potter, an adult and all the privileges that come

with it. I also name you Lord Harry James Sirius Potter Black and

give you the voting power of the Potters and Blacks, which gives you

three votes in the Wizengamot." As Fudge completed his piece, Harry's

robes became magnificent robes of gold green and red and a crest

of arms appeared on his chest that showed two wands crossing each other with a lightning bolt slashed across the front. His hair also grew, so that he had long hair down to the top of his shoulders. He just stood there, not knowing what to say. Griphook now approached him and

bowed.

"Lord Black it is a great honor to witness this most great moment in history you have only to sign these papers and all of the assets of the Potter and Black families will be transferred to your vault. Then we will be off to Gringotts to make sure that everything is in order. I also believe that there are a couple of letters for you from your family that you need to read as well. Harry stood there even more dazed than he looked. He glanced over at Hermione who he noticed was crying. He walked over to her and gently grabbed her chin.

"What's wrong 'Mione?"

"It's just that, now you're a very wealthy, important, wizard and can do just about anything you want and… Well, you probably don't feel the need to go back to Hogwarts now because you don't need to. And then Ron and I wouldn't see you anymore!" At this Harry wiped the tears from her face with his thumb, leaned in, and kissed Hermione lovingly on the lips...

Sorry had to do a cliffhanger but well its fun, yay! Please R&R so I

know if I am going write or wrong no flames please.
