I have my proprietary claim to Harry Potter or the Dukes of Hazzard
The rest of that Christmas was reasonably quiet with us in the parlor. With Molly Weasley gasping more than once at the pre-magic exploits of the Duke family. And Minerva reserving judgment until she had met. This supposedly inept and corrupt sheriff. She confirmed this after touring the duke farm. Sheriff Rosco tried to arrest them for theft from Boss Hogg's private office. The supposed theft had occurred during the dinner party. Only for him to leave only after being thoroughly scolded and inform to try to investigate before arresting someone.
Additionally, to pass on a message that this is a conflict of interest, and another judge should be the one to handle this case. And that had the Dukes laughing. Sayin' "that we need to get a permit so that Boss Hogg can't find this farm."
Time skip Lunch that afternoon
Professor Flitwick said, "there's no need to put a charm on the entire Farm as everyone could know where it is. Instead, request permission to cast it on the Sheriff badge, deputy's badge, and JD Hogg. That way, they won't be able to see anything they shouldn't. Since this is an ongoing issue, and that would be the most effective way to ensure secrecy Act is upheld."
"I can ask the security consultant about how that would be done since we are adding the finishing touches to the wards. He can probably even recommend it since that would add a safety measure for the Canis Major community. By keeping the county non-magi from ever entering the property by accident." Remus added after he had finished his lunch.
"What a splendid idea, and on that note, I would like to invite you all to the grand opening. And I fully understand if you can't make it." With Sirius motioning toward the Weasley at the end of the table. "Grandfather, at your not-so-subtle request, I made sure that there was a second American Black family estate. Within the community as well, instead of a townhouse." To this, Lord Black nodded approvingly.
Once everyone had gotten ready to leave with everyone saying the appropriate farewells minus Sirius secretly giving the twins tips. Minerva McGonagall and Molly Weasley were not ignorant of. Nor were they silent in response to that. And just like that all, three of them looked as innocent the day they were born with no one believing it. Eventually, they left promising to visit over the summer holiday, With only the Dukes, Remus, Sirius, and Harry. We settled back into their regular routine. A few weeks later, they received the all-clear conceal their property from JD Hogg and his pet Sheriff Department.
Time skip the grand opening of the Canis Major Distillery and Community.
The date was set so I could attend after the full moon. With Daisy holding Harry, and let me tell you Harry was fighting it tooth and claw. (We really should have modified that spell. Trickster Magic just loves to wreak havoc.) Sirius gave a rehearsed speech addressing those with already moved in and just as that production begins.
