Next, the last time a Monarch Dismissed a Prime Minister was Queen Anne on 27 July 1714 when she Dismissed her 'Lord Treasurer", which was the title of the Prime Minister at the time. The door at No. 10 is titled "Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury". Surprisingly, she died several days later, and the family of what we call the "House of Windsor" took over.

Harry after recovering from fainting sat with Hermione in a love seat and listened as Dan Granger, Now Brigadier Granger started to explain the matters before them.

"Harry, your parents had directed that if something had happen to you, they directed you to be placed with you grandparents in New Zealand, where your Grandfather Charus was serving as Her Majesties Governor General, which is a position of a Viceroy to Her Majesty the Queen. However, it seems, that the directive was disobeyed. Dumbledore hid you and confused the records making it not possible to pull you out. It was not until my daughter returned first year and told me about you, that the ball started rolling. I am sorry to report that he and his wife died in a plane crash in 1988 over the Indian ocean, their bodies were never recovered. However, since you were not an Adult you could not assume the titles. However, with the mess of the Tri-Wizard, the Ministry shot themselves in the foot. First Black, now this."

Entering the Room was Rimrock, the Leader of the Goblin Nation. "The Goblin Nation welcomes you to your proper titles. We at the bank have been made aware of the matters for the last year after Lord Black came to the bank and set certain things in motion, first declaring you his heir, and triggering other clauses. Several members of the Black clan will have a bad day next week. The Ministry may have thrown Sirius in Jail, yet he was never tried. Before Black went into Hiding, the Crown court cleared him, and missives from Her Majesty have gone without accepting her justice."

Harry looked at the group and asked, "What does that mean for me. I am too young to sit in the Wizardgemont. I have to be an adult wizard to do that."

Rimrock replied, "Actually, the Ministry shot themselves in the foot. When you were forced to participate in the Tri-Wizard, the rules stated the contest were for wizards of age. Therefore, they declared you an adult. They cannot un-ring that bell so, to speak. You control The Black and Potter votes which total Six, along with the Founders votes totaling Sixteen, and by Her Majesties Command, the votes of the Royal Family, who has Five votes. With the agreement of the Bones, Longbottom, Lovegood, and Greengrass families, which have three votes each, your block would control 39 of the 76 votes in the chamber."

Harry asked, "What is the plan?"

Hermione was the one to reply, "Bankrupt the Ministry, by preventing them from getting money, and forcing the issue where my father would come in."

Dan then replied "Her Majesty has appointed me the Gov. General of the Magical United Kingdom, yet we are holding back informing the Ministry about that. The plan is what we call in Military Circles 'Shock and Awe.' However, credit for this idea comes from the late Sir John Kerr, who almost 20 years ago, dismissed the Prime Minister of Australia for the same reasons."

Hermione replied, "I am assuming the endgame is for the 11th of November, the 20th Anniversary."

Harry looked at both Dan and Hermione and asked, "What are we talking about?"

"Harry, my love we are talking about the matter of 'The Dismissal' in Australia, and for you, the next Minster for Magic, even if it is for a caretake role. What do you think?" said Hermione.

Harry thought about it for a second, then said: "Okay I am game, what is the next move?"

Rimrock replied, "The paperwork will be submitted in the morning under the Queens Patent and filed with the Ministry. The next session is in three days and the alliance will start deferring the budget in that session. I believe Dumbledore may try his manipulations, but the charter allows us this action and we will use it. All the families will then be placed under the Goblin Guard along with the Household Cav. To prevent activities to stop our actions. Then we will see what will happen, as we do not have the 2/3rds to remove Fudge directly. We expect them to try to get funding from us, yet without a budget, we at the bank will refuse any new debt financing."

"So, the Goblin Nation is getting its revenge, and I would agree that the nation needs to be equal partners in any future dealing. I can agree with that." Harry responded.

Rimrock replied, "Nice to do business with you, Your Grace."

NB: This chapter is complex, but it lays the groundwork for the actions that will be discussed in further chapters. I will explain each move more as it happens.

The term Deferring the Budget is a move to stall consideration or voting on the measure. It could be also considered a 'Filibuster' in the terms of the US Senate.

The Votes for the Founders are in play due to Harry holding two of the titles, and as such controls the votes Four for each Founder, you will learn later who are the other two Heirs.
