Well... Miss J.K., I just proved I am better than my stupid brother. Chapter four and still single… Now that I think of it, maybe I am the stupid one. Meh, I do this for free.

Having Elves rocked! No cooking, washing dishes, laundry, if you asked it they would spoon-feed you. I told them we had a dinner party tomorrow night and they take care of everything. I fell back to my routine, meditation, exercising, magic control, popping over to Duddi, getting the crap beaten out of me by Duddi, popping back home. I brushed up on wizarding customs with my ancestor's paintings to prepare for tonight's dinner.

4 An eventful August.

At dinner time, the guests arrived, popping in with my elves. The greetings with the males, the brushing of the hands with the women and girls. To tease her, I kissed Tracey's hand again, the poor girl blew a fuse. Neville is just a shy boy, his gran was easy to recognize with that vulture hat. A lot of theories were made of that hat on the fan sites.

Astoria, I'm told has been meditating from the moment she got her wand until now. Silently I passed her a muggle book about the human anatomy I found with mum's schoolbooks. I whispered to Astoria: "Study this book and circulate your magic through your bloodstream and your nerves. But ask permission from your parents first." Exited she showed the book to her parents.

Curious, Daphne asked why I gave her the book, I answered: "Well, she now has a wand that she is not allowed to touch for a whole year. This is just a book to guide her to understand the bloodstreams and nerves, so she can guide her magic better while meditating. You should read it too, it helps you with connecting to your magic better."

While the adults were mingling, the young adults, Lance, Peggy, Peter, and Nymphadora formed a group, the rest of the kids flocked together, well, the girls were gossiping, I ended up with Neville, I asked: "Hey, Mr. Neville, excited for Hogwarts? I am a bit reserved about it, you know, never known about magic, then being dropped into a new world is spooky." Neville responded: "It is scary for me too. Gran thought I did not have enough magic to get the Hogwarts letter."

I frowned at that: "is that so? May I test it? Give me your hand, and think about doing magic. OK... Miss Daphne? Can I have a moment please? I want to compare your magic capacity with Mr. Neville's. Can I hold your hand as we did in the wand shop? Now think of doing magic. Thank you both. Neville, you have about the same amount of magic as Miss Daphne, but it seems to be obstructed, did someone bound your magic? I had my blocks released at Gringotts at my birthday."

The adults noticed me holding Neville's and Daphne's hands and paid attention to our conversation. When the gran heard me say Neville's magic has a block, she paled and said: "That can't be, Dumbledore had him checked out after that fight and said he is fine."

Stumped I looked at her: "Madam do you forget the reason why you are here? I am 99% certain that Dumbledore put the block on Mr. Neville himself. I suggest letting the goblins examine him. It took a team of old Goblin cronies to remove my blocks, also the wand he is carrying is the exact opposite of his magic." Right, throw the faulty wand in the mix too. Gran scoffed: "That is his father's wand, it will work well for him." I responded: "Oh? You are his mother, try to use it yourself. I bet Mr. Neville can get better results with your wand than his fathers."

Before it got out of hand Lord Greengrass and Davis explained how I helped select their daughter's wands. Mr. Davis: "Augusta, Heir Potter went with us to Madam Wilson's wand shop, and selected perfect matches for Tracey, Lance, and Astoria. Lance said his new wand works a multitude better than his previous one. Heir Potter can sense magic on a level I never heard of. When he tells you Mr. Neville's magic is blocked, my advice is to believe it."

Mr. Greengrass: "Take Mr. Neville to Gringotts. It does not hurt to check it out. But make sure to invite Heir Potter with you. Madam Wilson acknowledged his talent for it. I can vouch for it."

Great! A vote of confidence from Dad Greengrass and Davis. Gran budged: "Tomorrow I'll visit Gringotts. Heir Potter, can I ask for your assistance with the wand?" I answered: "Mr. Neville is my Godbrother madam, I will do all I can for him." She mumbled: "I forgot Lily was his Godmother, and Alice is yours."

Tapsy called us to the table. The dinner went fine. Charlus pumped the last few hours some table etiquette in my head. You know, use a knife to cut the meat, a spoon for soup, that kind of thing, as if we used our hands and feet in the muggle world. I stopped him when he said not to lick my plate clean.

"Gramps, I am not a two-year-old, and the muggles evolved from the times we lived in caves, so we know now how to use a knife and fork. Although I have troubles with chopsticks." He grumbled: "I had to tell Sirius that when he was fifteen. He told me his inner dog demanded it."

Anyway, dinner went well, Tapsy is experienced, so I let her manage the whole thing. Afterward, we retired to a salon, the adults and I in one, the kids in another.

Madam Bones started the talks: "We all read the Will, Dumbledore did something inexcusable, he went completely against Lord Potters Will. He is also responsible for putting Heir Black, now Lord Black in Askaban. This is an attack against two Major Houses, but what puzzles me, why? What are his reasons?"

I took my parent's letters and showed them the part of the prophecy: "Both Neville and I could have been the child the prophecy speaks of. Dumbledore has been manipulating my parents to guide the prophecy the way he wants it to. If I grew up in the wizarding world I would be hard to manipulate.

He knew my aunt hate magic, it was said so in the Will he witnessed not a week before the events.

He let Hagrid take me from the cottage and placed me at my aunt, even before Sirius was arrested and Aunt Alice attacked.

That proves the premeditation to manipulate my upbringing. I confess the first years at the Dursleys were Hell on earth. On Halloween, I yelled at her that my mum will be waiting for her in heaven. From then on it got better, I got a room to sleep in, got better food, and even new clothes.

I trained my magic senses, at the boundaries of the wards, feeling a small reaction inside of me. I get bored a lot so I started to play with that feeling inside my body, circling it in my body while meditating. A side effect is it made my brain more active and my memory a lot better.

In elementary I skipped three grades in one school year, I finished elementary the year after. The secondary was finished in three years. right now, I have offers from several universities in Britain and the USA. Until I got a letter from Hogwarts a few days before my birthday.

So Dumbledore wanted a beaten scared kid that looks upon him as Merlin reincarnated, but I am exactly the opposite. Nobody messes with my family now."

OK… we let them swallow my semi-bullshit story. I better not mention the memories. Or the frying pan.

Lord Greengrass was the first to react: "That explains a lot, you are acting years above your actual age."

I shrugged: "I have 99% perfect memory recall, spend my last school year with fourteen to sixteen-year old's teenage drama, it seeps through." Mr. Abbot: "What are the contents of that prophecy? It must be important enough for Dumbledore to break so many laws."

"I don't know, I doubt my parents did, only there was one, and Voldemort was targeting them for it." Madam Bones said: "There is a hall of prophecies in the department of mysteries. If there is one, it should be there. Augusta, when you take them to Gringotts come to me afterward. I'll speak with Croaker about it."

Andromeda said: "We should focus on why we are here, the magical and muggle guardianship. I propose I take the muggle guardianship. Ted is a lawyer, in the wizarding and the muggle world. The magical guardianship will be contested by the wizengamot if I took that too. Ten years Askaban will make Sirius unfit too. Alice is out too, Remus? Does anyone remember him?"

I answered: "Remus Lupin is out too, he was bitten by Greyback when he was five years old." That got them chocked Mrs. Davis: "He went to Hogwarts with us! We spend seven years with a werewolf?" I scoffed: "Werewolves are only one night a month dangerous, a night you can prepare for. They are sick a few days before the change and after. They are harmless to animagus, that is the reason my dad, Sirius, and Pettigrew became one."

Yep, I am spilling it all. I need those families on my side and keeping too many secrets from them can bite me in the arse some day.

Madam Bones: "Well the next on the list is you, Veronica. Or you Ellen, both of you were part of Lily's study group, they used to call you the three queens of wisdom.

Ellen sighed: "Those were the best times I had in Hogwarts beside Cyrus." She looked at me: "We did not mention it to you because you could think we were manipulating you. We were planning it for today or next week."

I nodded: "It is alright, I only read mum's course journals, and I'm gathering my nerves to read her diaries. If mum trusts you so will I. For the muggle custody, my aunt and uncle are eager to sign me over, just present the papers and they will sign it."

Madam Bones: "The least resistance will be with the Abbot family, they are solid on the light side, and were part of the alliance. Even Dumbledore can't protest against them.

Ted: "They are on the list of candidates and are part of an ancient alliance, they have the biggest claim if they want to take guardianship. In my opinion, it is the best option. It gives him the regency to vote for Potter in the Wizengamot, they don't want to lose it to a gray or dark family."

Mr. Abbot: "If nobody objects and Heir Potter agrees, I am willing to take his guardianship." Everyone nodded and looked at me: "I agree, and please, everyone here, call me Harry. I would like to live here if possible."

Mr. Greengrass: "That is only allowed with adult supervision. Now that you are going to attend Hogwarts it will only be for the holidays. Jacob, How old is your Peggy? She could fill the role of chaperon."

Mr. abbot: "Peggy wants to get married next spring, I don't know if Peter has arrangements, he is the second son of Lord Edwards."

Andromeda: "Nymphadora graduates next year and wants to join the Aurors, she is already talking of moving out. Having her here behind solid wards would ease my mind. She turns eighteen in September."Mr. Davis: "Lance is an adult too, although I am already mentoring him to take over the business and estate. So it is best he stays at home."

Madam Bones: "Why don't we call them inside and ask them in person."

The next hour was filled with an explanation and the proposal to move in this mansion to chaperon. I added the services of the house-elves, free room, and board, access to the library except for the Potter-only books. The offer was for seven years, to start.

For a young couple, it was a good chance to save up their funds. Tonks jumped to the occasion: "When can I move in cousin?" I shrugged: "Tomorrow if you want. I'll add you to the list of permanent guests." Peter: "I want to talk it over with Peggy and my parents first before we decide. It is a tempting offer though."

I said: "I will add everyone here today to the wards, and are always welcome for a visit. Should we inform the rest of my situation? They are bound to find out."

The other kids got the explanation, and the offer to visit and study.

It was a productive evening, Tonks and Abbot are going for guardianship, Hannah, Susan, and Peggy asked for my help to buy a new wand. I told them a wand from Mrs. Wilson is almost 150 galleons and asked Mr. Abbot and Madam Bones are ok with that. I said: "Yesterday I helped Ron Weasley select his wand at Olivander. It works there too, although the quality of Madam Wilson's is better."

Tonks was puppy eyeing her dad. I chuckled: "Maybe we get a discount if we buy in bulk." Madam Bones: "We can arrange it for Tuesday, my day tomorrow is full, courtesy of Harry here. He stirred a doxy's nest when he got Peter Pettigrew exposed." I joked: "It is a gift, I can't help it."

When everyone left, I thanked Tapsy and the rest: "The dinner party was a success thanks to you all, I am glad to be home with my Elves family, if you ever need something just say it, if it is in my power I'll make it so." That will keep them happy, after ten minutes of getting hugged by elves I got to bed.

Monday, I went to Gringotts with the Longbottom's and asked for Blooddagger's mother, at the Longbottom account manager Gutripper. He asked: "Why do you ask for granny? What do you want from her?" Gran said: "Heir potter suspect that my grandson has a block on his magic, he wants Neville to be checked by the one that helped him remove his block."

Granny came in: "Heir Potter? Why did you ask for me?" I answered: "I could not miss you for a day." She grumbled while caning me: "Show some respect for your elder's cheeky kid." Gran: "Oh, I thought I was the only one that wanted to do that." Oops, two on one is only fun if they are a century younger.

Granny waved her dagger at Neville, going on with her expression I was right. Granny: "The same block as yours Heir Potter. I need help to remove it, the blood tracker too." Gran exploded: "That bastard put a blood tracker on my Neville?"

An hour later a relieved boy and a raging mad old woman left the bank with me. I asked: "Wand now or tomorrow with the others?" Neville: "Gran, I want to go tomorrow with the others. Let's go to Madam Bones."

In the Ministry, Gran's aura scared the shit out of everyone. She stomped to Madam Bones's office, the secretary swallowed and let her through.

In Madam Bones's office, she raged: "Blocked for 80% Amelia! A blood tracker! Is that man insane?" Madam Bones: "As with Harry, it is to keep him timid. With powerful magic you get confidence, if you are almost considered a squib, then you are glad you are accepted and grateful at the teaching staff to be allowed in school." She looked at Neville and asked: "Am I right Heir Longbottom?" he just nodded.

I sensed a person behind us, I turned: "Hello sir, you must be Mr. Croaker." Croaker: "You are right Amelia, his magic senses are exceptional. Heir Potter, you want to see the prophecy that was made about you?" I answered: "Yes please with the ones present as witnesses"

The trip down was spooky, I bet it was made especially to create a mysterious atmosphere. To up their paycheck.

The prophecy is a bit disappointing, I studied the orb: "I am sorry to tell you but this orb is tampered with if I am right." Is it possible that this orb is used to record an adapted version of the prophecy? I say this because compared with other orbs inhere, it has different kinds of magic on it. Or it has spells on it to warn if someone activates it."

Croaker cursed, called a colleague, both started to examine the orb. It turned out it was an alarm and tracker. Dumbels was in bad papers with a lot of people now. That means I m doing a good job. I asked if I could visit Sirius, but Madam Bones informed me he is in a secret location.

I asked Madam Bones the procedure to connect the floo to the grid, she answered: "Harry, if a floo used to be connected to the grid, it is custom that the connection is disabled in the manor, you can reconnect it anytime you want." I smiled: "I will connect it today, Neville, you are always welcome for a visit. So are the others. I'll go back, I think my first chaperon is moving in today."

Xxxxx

At the manor, I asked Charlus how to reconnect the floo. After a half-hour stumbling, I got it to work. After lunch, Tonks popped in, with a lot of baggage: "Cousin! Where is my room?" "Tapsy will show you the floor where you can choose a room." She smiled: "Thanks, Cousin." I replayed: "You can call me Harry if you want Miss Nymphadora." She grumbled: "If you want us to get along, call me Tonks. I hate my given name." I nodded: "I can understand, it resembles nymphomaniac too much. Got bullied a lot?" She shouted: "See! Even you get it! Why does my mother insist on calling me that?"

I shrugged: "Ask her? Maybe a favorite aunt or grandmother was named that way. Anyway, the floo is connected, I set the password to The Pottery. I already keyed you in the wards and added your name to the floo. Now I am trying to figure out how you can give someone a day pass so you can have visitors. Although the access to the house will be limited for them, is that acceptable?"

She grabbed me in a hug. "Harry, I may never leave." I answered: "Don't scare me please." She grinned: "We are going to get along great, Harry." I studied the floo manual until dinner.

Tonks was promoting Hufflepuff during dinner I said: "Your house is scary. You are too fanatical about that house. Susan and Hannah are the same. I'll bet you are all wearing yellow and black underwear. Tonksie pretended to be shocked: "Who told you our secret? Only initiates can look at them!" she grinned: "Only joking Harry, but I do have some. I'll show you when you turn into a Puff."

I groaned: "Too much info Tonks, besides, I lack the hormones to act on it, give it a year at least. Now, tell me about your ability to frame someone else for your pranks." After dinner, I showed her how to give one a day pass. I added: "Don't make the mansion a tourist attraction, or organize a punk concert, for the rest do as you please." She asked: "Boyfriends? Girlfriends?" I shrugged: "What do you expect me to say? No more than ten at the same time? You chaperon, me the kid, remember?"

That got me another hug. I cursed my lack of hormones.

At breakfast, I asked if she came along for the new wands or have other plans: "Ten o'clock at the Cauldron. Can you explain how to exit the floo? I always fly across the room." Tonks laughed: "Every beginner does that, they are nervous to stand still in the fire, and want to leave it as fast as possible, the floo gets that intent and ejects you at the speed you want to leave the fireplace."

I cursed, betrayed by my own fears. We floodeded to the Leaky Cauldron at a quarter before ten, the girls already there and expecting me to fly out. I kept my cool and walked out like a pro.

Astoria pouted: "Who told you? We always wait a month before we tell them." I grumbled: "Traitors. My chaperon did her duty and informed me." My chaperon stepped out of the floo and bumped me forwards. I scraped my dignity up from the floor and asked: "Who has yet to arrive?"

Hannah said: "Peggy and Peter, Neville, and Lance said he came to watch." At ten o'clock everyone went to the Wand shop. By now I was Madam Wilson's favorite person. I started with Neville, he had three strong reactions, I asked him if he wanted a gentle or an aggressive wand, the gentle wand was pulled and connected to Neville.

I remarked to Madam Wilson: "I did not notice it before, but I connect the wand to the person I am guiding. I guess that is what makes the connection so strong. Does that make sense?" Madam Wilson: "That must be it because I have never seen someone else have so strong reactions to their wand."

Hannah and Susan were next, both only had one strong connection. Peggy and Tonks could choose too. Peter was last: "Last but not least, although the number of wands is rapidly dropping, gentle or rough Peter?" Peggy: "Rough!" before clamping her hands before her mouth." In the presence of parents and in-laws, it is a big no-no. I smiled: "Rough it is, lucky guy." The adults, not parents chuckled.

"The show is over now, I'll do only special cases from now on. Friends and family." Madam Wilson: "Too bad, I had a good week thanks to you." I'll bet she has, eleven wands. Although the effect on boys is different than on girls, the boys are almost in love with their stick Neville keeps on staring at it. All of them are asking what wood and core they have, me? I am not interested in that. It works and that is enough.

On the way to the Cauldron, I offered them study sessions to prepare for Hogwarts: "I study theory from after breakfast till lunch, after lunch I do practical study. In the morning and evening, I meditate and circulate my magic. You are always welcome when you want to.

Mr. Greengrass: "What kind of practicals are you practicing? Unsupervised practicing can be dangerous." I answered: "At the moment control, I need to reduce the power I push through the wand. First-year spells, mostly. I can do all spells till fifth-year wandless, but if I try them with a wand I blast the roof of. Now I am practicing Lumos. I lifted my hand and did a wandless Lumos, increasing and lowering the clarity of the light, changing colors, split them in five, for each finger one, all the while explaining how I train. Aah… it is so much fun to show of. I better not say I tried it with incendo fireballs and burned my fingertips.

Xxxxx

The following days I got back into my routine, Neville was a regular visitor, the girls always came in pairs, mostly in the morning, the parents came along if they wanted to train in the afternoon.

I did do a visit to Gringotts, I took a page from my brother's fiction, and closed a deal with the Goblins, with my future knowledge we are going to rake the cash in with the millions. The clause that any goblin profits from my information have to pay, is going to make house Potter stinking rich. I did ask to buy shares of the Daily Rubbish.

Tonks came through with the muggle guardianship, The Dursleys were happy to sign me off. No hard feelings, meh not much anyway, I like Duddi too much to wreck his parents. I still visit him regularly.

The day came that the Abbots were legally recognized as my magical guardians. We had a big celebration at his place. The day after, Daphne, Tracey, Susan, and Hannah came over with their mothers, with a strange smile on their faces. I backed off until I stood with my back to a wall.

Daphne said: "I told you, you were going to pay. It is time to cash in. Dancing lessons, one or two hours a day. There is a ball next week and you are going to perform." I swallowed: "Can I ask Neville to even the odds a bit?" The tosser could already dance. Now I have five laughing at me, after a few days, they didn't need cushion charms on their feet anymore, the day before the ball they declared me… passable.

The ball was at the Abbots to present me to the 'crowd', with four girls and their mothers fussing over you, I was told to stand still and let it happen, I am already planning my revenge in a few years, to say: 'lie still and let it happen'.

Anyway… I stood next to my guardians welcoming the guests. I am popular, we attracted a big crowd. Fudge and his toad, Lucius and albino, some fossils from the Wizengamot, and some ministry workers.

A few days before the ball, we debated to invite my illegal fiance, but I don't want to cause pain to a kid to punish for another one's faults. I asked my four torturers for advice.

Daphne: "For as long you don't expose Dumbledore, she is your fiance, not inviting her is a slap in her face." In the end, we invited them; only Arthur came, but the girls did a Cinderella and put her in a new dress that Astoria chose, and delivered her to the ball. I asked them if they transfigured a pumpkin into a carriage, but the girls did not make the connection to the fairy tale. Anyway, Ginny was the little princess guarded by five witches. I did remove a nasty bug from Ginny's hair and crushed it, I levitated the bug in Fudge's pocket. I better keep this house clean.

That was exhausting, my feet didn't leave the dancefloor, if I dared to stop I got Fudge on my case, I did let it slip that Sirius was Lord Black and made me his Heir, we should have lunch sometime. I did get one over at Lucius, I had practiced giving my eyes a red shine. I approached him when he was alone. I turned my eyes lightly red and started: "Lucius Malfoy, my slippery lieutenant, ten years, and you did not even look for me?" Lucius froze, before he could answer, my eyes turned bright red and commanded: "Mail the diary I gave to you for safekeeping to Harry Potter so I can return. If not… I hear your boy starts this year too. Maybe I get to know him better."

I smiled and turned the color back to green, I acted a bit dazed, looked at Malfoy, and asked: "ah… Lord Malfoy was it? Having a good time I hope?" The poor man almost pissed his pants, he gathered his wife and ferret and left. Playing the possessed kid is still fun. The next day I received the diary from Tom Marvolo Riddle.

The Goblins were happy to get rid of it. I asked to keep the ring in one piece, it was an heirloom from my family, and wanted it for myself. Blooddagger laughed his ass off when he heard how I got the diary.

I heard a few days later the ferret transferred to Durmstrang. Dumbledore was still on the continent, trying to pilfer the stone from the Flamels.

On the twenty-third of August, the Wizengamot held an emergency trial, we used that to get Lord Abbot the Potter seat.

I stood in the visitor's stand next to a man dressed in canary yellow and a little blond girl. I smiled and introduced myself: Hello my name is Heir Harry Potter, but call me Harry, are you here to report on Stubby Boardman?" The canary looked at me: "How do you know that? I am indeed reporting on Stubby Boardman. Ow, my manners, I am Xenophilius Lovegood, and this is my little moon, Luna. We run the magazine the Quibbler."

"Well… I must disappoint you, this here is indeed Sirius Black, but back in the days, he did act as a stand-in to let Stubby get some rest. I am impressed you found him out. Miss Luna, when are you going to attend Hogwarts? I'll start in September." She looked at me, and with a dreamy voice: "You still have to remove two nasty nargels from the school. I am glad Tommy is almost gone. I wasn't looking forwards to spending months in Malfoy's dungeon."

Ooook? Meh, it's Luna, I smiled: "Yeah, we can't have that can we, and we need another reason to fly with the thestrals, we will make up something. And those nargels that nest in Ravenclaw will get clipped." Her face brightened: "I like that very much. Are you going to save Ginny too?"

"Sure, I'll get the snake this year ok? I'll get someone to take pictures for your magazine." Talking with Luna is fun. I invited her to take an interview with me.

Anyway, Sirius cleaned up nicely. The trial? It was really fast, veritaserum, the Will, a dead Pettigrew, and Lord Black was a free man, although he needs to register as an animagus… I wonder how Fudge could explain a dead Rita in his wardrobe.

I took Sirius home, hired a mind-healer, threw a small party on Saturday, a big one on Sunday, by my calculations Dumbledore should have found out by now.

My friends did very well with only a few weeks' practice. Astoria took the lead in magic circulation and meditation, although the others were not far behind. The books I bought about the human body and Chinese acupuncture were helping a lot. Sirius healed, just by looking at us all having fun practicing magic.

Neville came out of his shell when he noticed he could keep up with the others. When I was practicing with my friends I did it wandless for their safety. Sirius noticed my problem and suggested making a fake wand without a core, to hide the wandless.

"Sirius, you are a genius! Do you know any impressive kind of three? Like Yggdrasil the World Tree, or the Legendary Oak Tree, Sacred Baobab? You know, to impress the crowd."

Neville heard what I asked and stated: "There is the Giant sequoia, they are the tallest in the world, the Lebanon cedar, it can age thousands of years, so is the Yew, the Bois Dentell, a rare tree from Mauritius, the St. Helena Gumwood tree, a rare tree from the island St Helena…" We all looked at Neville while he kept rambling about different kinds of trees he knows about.

I stopped him: "Ok Neville, one of them will do, do you know where I can get a hold of one of those? He nodded with a smile: "Mum planted several rare trees on our estate, I will get you a branch to create your fake wand." He left in a hurry. Hannah said: "We should talk more about plants, did you see Neville's face light up talking about it?" I mentioned: "It is his way to connect to his mum, his gran is always talking about his dad, but neglect telling about his mum. And he is apparently good with it."

Dumbledore noticed all of the signs, now that the Will is in the open, his guardianship revoked, he had to do some damage control. At the Wizengamot on the last Friday of August, he resigned as Chief Warlock, stating that recent development showed his attention was to spread out. And he should focus more on the education of Britain's future.

We took it as a win, we are not in a hurry to shoot all our ammo in one go. Although he did get a serious tongue lashing from Gran, Sirius, and Amelia.

On the Wizengamot session, Sirius claimed his Lordship and declared me his Heir. I glanced at Lucius Malfoy and smiled. The poor sod did not even protest.

Well… it is time to prepare for a train ride.
