Harry Potter is from J. K. Rowling not mine

(BSC 1) C16 The most noble and ancient house of Potter

It was early Saturday morning, one by one everyone slowly woke up. Katie and Angelina were watching in admiration at Bella and Harry "AAWWWW" was all they could release.

Bella and Harry were still comfortable in each other's arms, they were sleeping on a bed, with the covers pulled up to just under their chin. Bella had her head tenderly, placed on the chest of Harry, while Harry had his arms protectively around her waist. It was like as if they already were together for many years. Madam Pomfrey pulled Bella gently from the arms of Harry and told her that she had to get dressed, and that there were no more kisses from Harry this morning. A little shy, she looked up to madam Pomfrey and nodded her cheeks red. Without looking back, she ran to the bathroom to get dressed.

An hour later, the group walked together towards the great hall. Everyone in the castle had heard how they had defeated a troll, and how they had save two fellow student by doing that. So when they walked into the great hall, they were received with deafening cheers. Only the Slytherin looked as if they had eaten something dirty. Draco had just walked out and snarled something under his breath at Harry. Harry himself had not heard what Draco had said, but Bella had heard it all. She raised her wand and immediately fired a spell at him. Draco's mouth was instantly sealed with tape.

"Potter, fifty point's deduction for unlawful use of spell in the great hall, and on a fellow student" came the voice of Severus Snape.

Harry looked startled at Severus Snape. "What, I have done nothing," he exclaimed.

"That's another ten point's deduction for contradicting a professor" Severus Snape cried again.

"May I ask what's going on here" Dumbledore asked from behind the group.

"Potter has cursed Malfoy, I've seen it myself, and Mr. Malfoy did absolutely nothing to Potter" said Snape.

Dumbledore looked at Harry and then at Severus. "Can I see you wand please, Harry?" Dumbledore Asked. Harry nodded and gave his wand to Dumbledore. "Prior incantato" Dumbledore said and pointed his wand at Harry's wand. There they saw ghostly ropes appear from the tip of the wand. "You can see that Potter has not done what you said he did Professor Snape. I suppose he will get his house points back that you have taken from him "Dumbledore asked kindly.

If Severus was angry before, he was furious now. Bella giggled as they walked on. At the table she said that it was she who had cursed Draco, and why she did it. After the story everyone in the great hall could hear a loud laughter that rose from the group of friends.

At the end of the breakfast professor McGonagall walked up to them and stood at their table. "Neville your grandmother is here at ten o'clock. I expect all of you to be in my office at eleven o'clock. I want you to dress up warmly so we be able to leave the castle at noon". After that, she walked away, leaving the stunned friends behind. At ten o'clock they were back to their common room and they quickly made them self ready to leave.

*#*

It was ten o'clock when the flames in the office of professor McGonagall flared up green. Augusta stepped out of the flames and greeted professor McGonagall and immediately looked sharply at her. "Is it really true Minerva, everything that was in that red book, is it really true. Did Harry really have to live through all of that". McGonagall said nothing and just looked at her old friend. The coldness that Augusta saw in the eyes of Minerva was enough for her. It made Augusta gasped for breath. She had difficulty with swallowing a lump that was stuck in her throat. She immediately collapsed into a chair with her hand over her mouth and a look of pure disbelief, anger and pity in her eyes. "I still cannot believe it, so much misery, and he seemed so nice, as if nothing was going on".

"That's something that even amazes me Augusta. He is kind and very caring for his friends. I think that we have to thank Arabella and Bella for that". After a cup of tea taht they drank in silence, the friends knocked on the door.

"Come in," Professor, McGonagall said. "Take a seat so we can talk about what we will do. Then we can quickly leave and look for a broom and the other stuff we will need".

Bella looked thrilled at Harry. "Which one am I getting Harry. You know that Mama will pay it back to you" Bella said happily.

"Mama," Augusta asked a little skeptical.

Bella looked at her with her head slightly tilted. "Yes, my mother is Arabella Figg, and I call her mama, as it should be" Bella said a little snappy.

Augusta smiled at her. "Yes you are definitely a daughter of Arabella Figg, that's something I can hear in your voice, you're just as snappy as she can be" she said with a laugh.

At noon they left the office of professor, McGonagall by Port key. They arrived in a room in the leaky cauldron. Augusta and Minerva remain standing, just like Daphne, Neville and Susan. Bella, Harry and Hermione were lying in a heap on the floor. They did not know how to travel with a Port key, the room in which they had appeared was arranged by Arabella.

Bella jumped up and the first thing she did was hugging her mother and then she introduce Arabella to everyone. Arabella smiled and looked delighted at the friends Harry and Bella had already made.

The first thing they were going to do was to go to the wizarding bank. The Gringotts wizarding Bank was at the end of Diagon Alley, It was a large white building. Harry had only been there once, and that was with Hagrid the day he heard that Bella was also a witch. That day he received his key from his trust vault. Hagrid had told him that his parents had left him that money for his school supplies and other small things.

Harry had received some lessons from Neville and Daphne about Gringotts and hoped he would do well. He had learned that everything in Gringotts was all about the gold and to the goblins time was money. Harry walked with Bella, Augusta and professor McGonagall into the bank.

Neville with Hermione, Susan and Daphne were accompanied by Arabella, they went looking for a robe for the Quidditch team and a lot of other things they needed. The gold that Harry had received from Fred and George was just intended for that purpose. Harry had said that everyone had helped him by wearing those hats, and therefore the gold that he had received from Fred and George, was for everyone, not just him.

*#*

Harry walked to the back of the bank and spoke to one of the oldest-looking goblins that he could find."Good afternoon sir, I would like to speak to someone about the lordship of the house of Potter" Harry asked as he looked straight into the eyes of the goblin. Harry placed three galleons on the counter and said. "May I thank you and may your gold flow freely". This was something that the goblins told among themselves. That was what Neville and Daphne had taught him. It showed a form of respect for the goblins.

"I'll see what I can do for you Mr. Potter." The goblin left his post and went into corridor further back in the bank. Augusta looked at Harry and gave him an approving nod. It was normal that you give a goblin a tip of a galleon. If you put down more than one galleon then they saw that as a compliment. Five minutes later the goblin came back with another goblin. This goblin looked even older, then the one that went to get him.

"Good afternoon young Mr. Potter. My name is Bogrod, and I am your account manager. Just like I was the account manager of your father and your grandfather, I will serve you the best to my abilities".

Augusta gulped a little breath and whispered softly to Minerva. "That's the boss of the goblins; he normally does not do business with witches or wizards. And he certainly does not do a personal account".

Harry stepped forward slightly and shook the hand of the goblin. Augusta was shaking her head, but she was too late. Bogrod looked hard at Harry. "Young Mr. Potter may I ask why you shook my hand". Everywhere in the bank it became silent.

Harry looked at him, there was no irritation in the voice of Bogrod, nor anger. But it was clear to Harry that he had done something he could not or should not do. Thinking hard about a Reply Harry said "I always shake the hand of a friend. And if you are my account manager and you were also the account manager of my father and grandfather. Then I will see you as a friend of my family".

"You know young Mr. Potter that it's not common for a wizard, to treat a goblin as an equal, and you certainly do not shake hands with a goblin. It is common knowledge for wizards that wizards are better than goblins "Bogrod Told Harry.

Again Harry thought hard for a moment. His face was very serious, and searching for a good answer. A few times he opened his mouth and closed it again without saying anything. And it was now that Augusta and the others could not help him that would be very disrespectful towards Bogrod and the goblins.

"I am sorry sir" Harry said after a while. "I meant no offense but I do see you as an equal. After all we share the same world and we are both magical. So to tell you the truth, I see no difference between us" again Harry was silent for a moment and then said. "But if you do not want me to treat you like a friend or an equal, then I will do it no more". Harry paused for a moment and continued his point of view. "However, I'm not sorry that I see you as an equal. I am not another witch or wizard but my own. I do not see you as a lesser person, if you do so yourself then that's your problem, not mine".

Augusta bit her lip and looked anxiously at Bogrod, like all the other goblins and wizards who were in the bank. It was not common for a wizard to treat a goblin as an equal. And certainly not to openly speak against them, let alone the boss of the goblins. Big was her surprise when Bogrod bowed to Harry. That was something that a goblin only did when he had a lot of respect for a certain wizard, and that was never".As you wish young Mr. Potter, it's an honor for me that I may be your friend" Said Bogrod. The four of them were then escorted to the office of Bogrod for a private meeting

Bogrod sat behind his desk, he showed them a chair to sit down in, and just watched the foursome briefly. "Young Mr. Potter what can I do for you today" he asked.

Harry looked a bit shy then he swallowed hard and looked at Bogrod. "First, you can just call me Harry, that's something all my friends do. And since I consider you a friend, you may also call me Harry". Bogrod nodded, and Harry went back to his story. "I do not know if I may use the title lord Potter. But I'm here to see if and when I may do so.
I would like to introduce lord Longbottom's grandmother, Augusta Longbottom. Augusta Longbottom handles the affairs of Lord Longbottom, of the most noble and ancient house of Longbottom. I would like to know whether I am lord, and if I still have family that also could do that for me. It also came to my ears that Mr. Dumbledore perceives my business at this time. Something I've learned, and it's something that's not right. So my question is".

Harry took a breath and went on. "Can you check for me if I can use the title lord Potter. And if you can also see who my magical guardian is in the wizarding world. But also could you see if I still have a relative who is still alive. For this, you may charge me up to three times your expenses. So your gold may flow freely". Again Augusta gave an approving nod to Harry.

Bogrod's eyes widened a little. "Young Mr. Po" he stopped mid-sentence. "Harry, Mrs. Longbottom is known to me. She is a good and worthy witch, and has great respect for us and we for her, I can also see that you have already learned a lot about our customs, and I am pleased about that. There are some rules that I must follow. I just cannot do everything at once. We will have to take some steps, just to be sure that we may take the other steps. First we will have to see if you are allowed to take your lordship".

Bogrod pressed a button and a small goblin walked inside. "Hello, Griphook are you well" Harry exclaimed when he saw him.

Griphook looked up startled, he looked at Bogrod and gently said "Hello Harry I'm very well".

Bogrod just watched the conversation between Harry and Griphook. "Griphook get me the Potter box. Young Harry wants to know if he's Lord Potter or not". Griphook nodded and walked away. "Well Harry, I see that you've already met my son. And it is an honor that you regarded all goblins as equals and worthy. May I offer you and your guest a cup of tea"? That was the next question Bogrod had asked.
It was polite to drink a cup of tea when that was offered to you. About ten minutes later Griphook returned. In his hands he had a box with the Potter coat of arms on it. "Young Harry, I'm going to leave you, there is a particular piece of parchment that I need and I'll be back in a minute or so. Please drink your tea". With that Bogrod left the room.

Augusta looked curiously at Harry. "Have I done something wrong Grangran" Harry asked her.

"Harry you've done better than I could ever imagine. Goblins are quirky creatures. They help people only when they can earn some galleons. Respect to a wizard is seldom and never really shown. The only way that you get respect is if you get the honor to be allowed to drink their tea or if they bow to you. But tea is the greatest honor you can get. And we just received tea from Bogrod" she looked at Minerva and went on.

"Bogrod Harry is the master of the goblins of England, and we have just had the honor of being allowed to drink tea with him" again Augusta looked at Harry just like Minerva.

Bella did not understand what had happened, but she knew that Harry had done something good. "But why is it so special Grangran" she asked.

It was Professor McGonagall who gave her the answer. "Bella, Harry, look, you showed respect for Bogrod when you said he was your equal. He shows his respect by giving you a cup of tea. It is a small gesture but with a lot of value. It is the sharing of food and drink, something you only do with family and friends, not with the enemy. There for It is only a small number of wizards and witches who gets the honor to drink tea with a goblin. And as far as I know there is only one who can do it with the boss of the goblins. And Harry, that's you. Even Dumbledore does not have that honor". Everyone drank their tea and sat in silence.

Bogrod came walking into the room and he had an old piece of parchment in his hand. But also a very big sharp knife in his other hand. Both he lay on the corner of his desk without saying a word. "Okay young Harry, first we want to see if this ring, the ring of the most noble and ancient house of Potter sees you as his Lord. Put it on your finger and hold your finger down. If the ring slides down your finger, then you are not lord Potter".

Harry slipped the ring on his hand and wanted to keep his hand down. But the ring narrowed and was magically reduced. The stone that was in it also reduced itself. Now it was the perfect size for Harry's finger and hand. Bogrod smiled broadly and clapped quickly. "Well done Lord Potter," he cried loudly.

Bogrod got up and slowly walked around the table. Harry did not know what was happening, he also stood as well and waited for what was to come. Bogrod was just as tall as Harry when they were both standing straight up. Before the eyes of Harry Bogrod sank to one knee and bowed his head. "I Bogrod, ruler of the goblins of England. Worthy member of the tribe of the elders. The future successor and ruler of the goblins of the world. And chairman of the goblins group in the world. Call upon you Young Lord Potter, of the most noble and ancient house of Potter. Welcome back and may our homes be one again as they once were. And may my family once again serve you, as worthy members of the most noble and ancient house of Potter".

Augusta watched with wide glance at Bogrod and could no longer contain herself. "You are a minor house of the House of Potter" she cried troubled.

Bogrod sniggered and nodded. "Seven generations ago, the then lord Potter, saved the life of my grandfather. Because we goblins cannot repay a life debt, my grandfather then connected our house and subjected it to house Potter. The Lord Potter has saved us many times during the last goblins uprising. Because we were seen as traitors by our own kind. After that, every Lord Potter who came after him protected us and stood beside us in times of conflict and we stood next to him". Bogrod said while he looked at Harry.

Harry grabbed the hand of Bogrod and helped him off the ground."I do not know exactly what to do as Lord Potter. But with help from Grangran, I will fulfill my duties as Lord Potter to you and your family my friend" Harry Said formally.

Bogrod looked up at him and took him into a hug. "Lord Potter, as goblin and a member from your house, I can only say one thing. May our gold flow freely and may our enemies die a dignified end, friend of goblins".

Bogrod took again his place in his chair and looked at the papers. "The ring has accepted you as his Lord. Therefore you are now lord Potter of the most noble and ancient house of Potter. Here are a pile of papers that you can go through at school. They are very important to know, but everything is in order. I myself got that settled. But please look it all through. I see that your magical guardian is Amelia Bones and that she is also the guardian of one Hermione Granger "Bogrod continued in a businesslike tone.

Harry did not wait until Bogrod was ready and almost shouted. "I've never met Amelia Bones, and have therefore thought that Dumbledore was my magical guardian. I have been told that he was magical guardian of all Muggle raised children," Harry said.

"I am sorry young lord Potter but Dumbledore is not your magical guardian" Bogrod said.

"Bogrod can you tell me if Dumbledore is a relative of mine. I know he uses four chairs from my house in the Wizengamot, and I have learned that only a relative can do that".

Bogrod seemed to think for a moment. "You're right, Mr. Potter but I will have to ask permission from Amelia Bones".

Augusta stood up "I'll do it, is it okay if I use your fireplace". Bogrod nodded and Augusta had gone through the fireplace. Five minutes later she returned and was followed by a woman with blond hair. "Amelia, this is Lord Potter. Harry this is your magical guardian Amelia Bones".

Amelia looked at Harry and gave him a hug. Harry instantly stiffened as she took him in a hug. Frightened he looked over at Bella. Bella instantly grabbed the hand of Harry, just to give him the feeling that she was there for him. Amelia did not notice anything and hugged Harry again, she also did not see the looks Minerva and Augusta had towards Harry. "I did not know I was you magical guardian Harry, but what can I do for you" Amelia asked softly.

Harry who visibly came to rest again looked up at Amelia "I want to know if Dumbledore is a relative of mine. If he is not then I want the four seats in the Wizengamot represented by people of my own choice, not by his".

Amelia looked at Harry. Here was a boy who was only eleven years old who already took a stand against one of the great leaders of their society. Then she looked at Augusta and Minerva, in their eyes, she saw that they wanted the same thing as Harry. She understood instantly that this was not the normal course of business, and if Dumbledore is no relative of the Potter's, then it was sure there would be a lot of trouble. With a little hesitation she nodded to Augusta, and said "Harry you have my permission to seek out everything here that you think may be necessary".

"Beautiful" Bogrod called out jovially. "Young lord Potter, I want you to make an incision in your finger with this knife, and then drop a few drops of blood on this parchment" afterwards I will heal your finger.

Harry looked worrisome by that question but saw Augusta nod from the corner of his eye. Carefully Harry cut himself and drop, a drop of blood on the parchment. And immediately saw how Bogrod healed his finger

"Young lord Potter" Bogrod began again. "Anyone who has had a vault here has always relinquished a drop of blood. So do their children. On the basis of your drop of blood, we can see who is family, and who is not. We can look back many generations. And we can also see if you still have family that is alive. And even if he or she could perceive your duties, because not everyone is allowed to do that". To the great astonishment Bella saw that there appeared a text in the color of blood on the parchment. Bogrod picked it up and examined it carefully. "Ah, I see that you are related to Godric Gryffindor. And the three brothers, My my, this is very unusual. Your family goes way back.

The unusual part is that the blood of the brothers has found you worthy enough to continue their line. just like the blood of Godric Gryffindor. Your grandfather also was worthy enough, your father was unfortunately not worthy enough according to the blood, usually it is the blood itself that will find a relative not worthy enough. If that happens than the bloodline dies out but you have just brought two bloodlines back to life most two noble and ancient bloodlines. One is the Gryffindor bloodline and the other is the Peverell Bloodline. You now also have the right to the lordship of Gryffindor and the Peverell brothers, according to their own bloodline. Furthermore, I see that you have many houses to watch over". The eyes of Bogrod narrowed a bit and he became quiet. "Mrs. McGonagall, would you be willing to donate a drop of blood, and if it is possible at this piece of parchment here".

Professor McGonagall looked at him blankly. With a little hesitation she gave a drop of blood, and was internally wondering why.

Bogrod went back to Harry. "I found something very interesting. So it is with joy that I can inform you that you have a living relative. Your father is James Potter. Your mother is "as he glanced down at the parchment from professor McGonagall". Your mother is Lilly Potter. prior to Potter she was Lilly Evans. But she was born as Lilly McGonagall".

McGonagall looked startled. "That cannot be," she exclaimed. "My daughter was stillborn. That's because of the news I got, the news that my husband was murdered during his work as an auror. "Dumbledore came to tell me that himself and that I could stay in the castle with him, there I could quietly mourn their deaths. Dumbledore took care of me and supported me in my grief and later I was able to become a teacher at the school".

Bogrod looked at her and slowly said "I'm sorry Mrs. McGonagall. But it says here that your daughter has been taken away from you, that you were not sane anymore. The grief for your husband made sure that you could not take care of your daughter. She was taken away by Albus Dumbledore. You are the only and real grandmother of Harry James Potter".

Harry and Minerva looked bewildered at each other. Could it really be true Minerva thought? Was she the grandmother of Harry James Potter? Slowly it dawned upon her, Lilly had called her Mom. She had seen it all in the sorting hat, Lilly had called her Mom Now she immediately understood what James wanted Dumbledore to do, And Lilly had called her Mom "I, I think it's true Harry, I'm your grandmother" Minerva stuttered.

Harry could see that she was just as surprised as himself. Bella hung a little closer to Harry. "Harry if you have a grandmother now, you do not have to live with those muggles, you can finally get away from them" Bella Said with a smile.

Harry looked up at McGonagall. "It's true Harry but I have no house, I live at Hogwarts." McGonagall said to Harry, still thinking about what she had heard.

"One moment please" asked Bogrod. "Young Lord Potter, do you want your grandmother to represent your tasks as Lord Potter."

Harry looked again at professor McGonagall. "You are really my grandmother" Harry asked a bit shy and scared. Was it true that he had a grandmother now, someone to get him away from the Dursleys?

"Yes, yes, I think so" Minerva stammered a bit. When she again recalled the memories from the sorting hat. Lilly had called her Mom. She had also heard her say to Sirius that Harry and she were the only family she had left. "Yes Harry I am you grandmother, and you are going away from those Dursleys. I just need to find a house for us".

"I can help you there that with" said Bogrod. "Because Harry is not old enough, he does not have access to his entire inheritance. But you Minerva McGonagall as his grandmother have access to everything that is owned by Harry. Also the 8 houses and the Peverell estate, with on its ground the Potter castle. The eight houses are rented out and give him a monthly income. But all that we can discuss later. In the first place, there are four vaults that are available for the young Lord Potter. The first he already knows that his trust vault.

Then we have the Godric vault and Peverell vault and the Potter vault. Also we have the will and some letters. Dumbledore had told us that Harry only had the consent to open it after his twentieth anniversary. But since you're his grandmother you have the right to do that now which are the letters and the Potter vault I mean. The last will of Lilly and James can only be officially opened after the New Year. We can do this at a later date with his grandmother. So If young Lord Potter wants to sign here, we can now make your grandmother the official representative of the most noble and ancient house of Potter". Harry signed the parchment and the ring disappeared from his finger. The moment McGonagall signed the parchment the ring appeared around her finger. "You Minerva McGonagall are now the representative of the most noble and ancient house of Potter, " Bogrod told her.

"Thanks oma mini" came Harry's voice, soft and shy beside her.

Just now, it really dawned upon her. Harry had called her grandmother; And Lilly had called her mom. Her daughter had not died, Albus did not keep her away but had stolen her daughter. She was the mother of Lilly and Albus knew. Albus had kept her away from her daughter and her daughter away from her. And now he wanted to do the same thing with her grandson. Great Merlin her grandson, Harry James Potter was her grandson. And Albus knew everything, all the misery and pain that Harry had endured, No that her grandson had endured. Her grandson, Harry James Potter.

She could not help it but she stood up quickly. Her chair fell backwards to the floor, and she took Harry in the biggest hug he had ever had. "Great Merlin I have a grandson, I'm a Grandmother. I'm so sorry, Harry, I did not know. I will love you and care for you. You will never go to the Dursleys again and always stay with me. I will love you Harry, I want to love my grandson "Minerva Said with tears of joy streaming down her cheeks.

First Harry stiffened again but let himself calm down slowly and hugged his grandmother back. He had a grandmother and she had said she wanted to love him, he thought to himself. Yes he had a grandmother. There they were cuddling for nearly ten minutes before they pulled apart, with smiles on their faces Bogrod just laughed.

"Young Lord Potter, of the most noble and ancient house of Potter. The families that belong to you are Peverell plus two small houses, Gryffindor plus three small houses. My family and four small houses. Together with your own family, you have about 18 seats in the Wizengamot it may also be more but I do not know yet.

You have 20% of the daily prophet, and several other stocks. What you might want to know is that you also have 5% of our bank. I want to call someone to take you to the Potter vault, the Gryffindor and Peverell vault will open when you're an adult, which is seventeen". Bogrod looked again at Harry. "Harry it was a great pleasure to get to know you. You just have to call me and I'll be there. Thank you for the cooperation and May our gold flow freely, friend of goblins". Bogrod gave a stack of papers to Professor McGonagall and also took her leave.

Amelia, Augusta and Minerva agreed to the following day to explain everything to Minerva what she had to do. And then took leave of Amelia.

But now they first went to the family vault of the Potters. It was a vault deep in the underground passages of the bank. It was much deeper than the vault where his other money lay. It was ten minutes later when they arrived at the vault. Griphook was the one who had brought them there. Slowly the door opened, and everyone saw that it was a huge vault. Mountains of gold were scattered all over the floor Augusta watched her eyes huge of wonder. "Harry, I think you're the richest Wizard there is." She said softly.

"He is the richest wizard of all of England" Griphook told them all.

Bella had already walked into the vault and looked at everything that was shiny. In the back she found two letters. The first was addressed to Harry and the second was for Minerva McGonagall. she picked them up and gave them to Harry and her Auntie Mini.

Harry walked to the other side and saw seven brooms hanging on the wall. Four had the name of his father and three of his mother. Bella stood next to him and looked at the brooms. "Want one of these brooms Bella" Harry asked.

Bella looked at the brooms "are you sure, Harry, they are the brooms of your father and mother?" She asked.

"The brooms are there to fly, not to hang around. Pick one, I'll take the fire dragon. That one looks like the best".

"Okay, Harry, I'll take the hhmmm snake dragon."

"May we also take those books grandma" Harry asked in a joyful tone.

Minerva reduced them all and put them in a bag. but could not keep the smile off her face, Harry had called her Grandma again After another ten minutes of looking around, They all went back to the others. Minerva McGonagall just had to get her mind around what had happened. When they went in here she was just a teacher. And now she was a grandmother, the grandmother of Harry James Potter. She looked at Harry and saw how proud he was with his broom. It was a broom made especially for James by the Nimbus Company, and it was now in the hands of his son. His son, he was now her grandson, her Harry.

Bella proudly showed her broom to Hermione, Daphne and Susan. Harry did the same with his broom to Neville. Hermione showed her robe for the Quidditch matches. Daphne and Neville showed their cleaning equipment and repair tools. Quickly they went back to Hogwarts. They were just in time for the evening meal. Bella and Harry had to stay behind for a moment. The rest already went to the Great Hall for dinner.

"Harry, Bella, I want you to keep all this a secret for Dumbledore. After Christmas we can read the testament of your parents. Only then everything will be official. Then we can say that I am your grandmother. Until that time, we practice twice a week in order to be sure how to be a lord. Augusta and Amelia will come to assist me with that. We do that Wednesday and Friday at eight o'clock in the evening. Daphne Neville and Susan will continue to help you with that. Amelia and Augusta want to keep this a secret because we do not know why Dumbledore did this. And that's something we want to know first. Now off with you, go eat "she said with a smile

Harry hesitated at the door and said. "Thanks grandmother mini. You do not know how happy I am that I no longer have to go to the Dursleys". Harry ran back and gave his grandmother a hug and a kiss on her cheek. Harry did not know that Minerva had seen the little red book of Arabella.

"Yes Harry I know and I'm terribly sorry, I wish I had knew all of this before today" Minerva whispered to herself.
