A/N: First off I want to thank everyone for the reviews and for putting this story on alerts and/or favorites! I am so glad that you all are enjoying it! Now originally I was going to attempt to keep the bashing to a minimal and that is still my plan, but honestly I can't say that I will be able to or not until further on in the story... Now that I have said that it is time for this chapter which while towards the end of the chapter may have some of Harry and the others, this chapter will primarily focus on reactions/conversations of several others!

Albus Dumbledore sat at the table in the Great Hall in shock for several minutes after Minerva, Severus, Pomona, Filius, and Poppy stormed out. He finally shook his head to clear it and that is when he saw the rest of his colleagues looking at him with glares on their faces. "What?"

After sharing looks with her fellow professors, Septima Vector looked at Albus with hard eyes. "We are in agreement with Minerva, Albus. If Harry Potter or any of the other three founder heirs start asking us questions we will answer them truthfully. I do not know what game you are trying to play, and yes I said game because I have no doubt that you are trying to play one with young Lord Potter, but none of us will be a party to it. You know damn well that he should have been given the same packet that the Muggle-Borns get since he was Muggle raised. It is mine and everyone else's duty here to make sure that he learns what he is supposed to in order to succeed in life, but for some reason you have set him up to fail. That stops now because if it does not I can promise you that you will NOT like the results once I am finished with you. Am I clear, Headmaster?"

Albus' eyes widened in shock. "How dare you talk to me like this, Septima?! I am your boss so you will show me respect."

Septima laughed as she shook her head and stood up. "Actually my boss or should I saw bosses are the four young kids that have emancipated themselves by taking their Lordships and Ladyships, Albus. Don't forget that you too now answer to them, Old Man, and I really do not like your chances. I do hope that you have some explanations for them when they show up here because I have no doubt that they will indeed show up before the first of September if ONLY to make sure that you are not trying to endanger any students again this year."

Albus' eyes flashed in anger as he watched Septima storm out of the Great Hall followed by the rest of his professors. He swore once he was alone because he knew that what Septima and even Minerva said to him was the truth. He swore again as he realized that all the plans he had come up with over the last ten years were now truly dead in the water. He could not help but wonder just how and when Harry had found out his heritage. He had made sure to keep it from him because he did not want something like this to happen.

He sighed as he tried to think of a way that he could get Harry and the other three founders' heirs under his control. As his eyes lit upon the paper he paled drastically as he finally saw what he should have seen when Minerva did everything, but push the paper in front of his face. Harry was not only Lord Slytherin, but he was Lord Harry Potter-Peverell-Black-Slytherin-Le Fey-Emrys-Pendragon. He knew then that he would have no chance to get Harry back under his control.

While he admitted he would not be able to get Harry back under his control he could not help but wonder what it was that made the boy go looking for information on his family. He also wondered how Harry had known to go to Gringotts to get an inheritance test done because he doubted that Remus or Sirius had told the boy to do it. Now the only thing he could do was try to salvage his plans in some way, shape, or form and make sure that he kept his job.

Lucius Malfoy was in his study when he heard his son and heir shout. He jumped out of his seat and ran to where he heard his son's voice coming from. He ran into the family room with his wand drawn which he quickly put away when he saw that there was not a threat. He scowled as he strode across the floor to his son. "Why are you shouting like a common person, Draco?"

Instead of responding to his father Draco held the paper up and out to him. When he noticed that his father was reading he shut his eyes. He could not believe that the boy he loved to taunt was the richest and most powerful wizard of the Wizarding world. He just knew that the way he treated Harry Potter was going to come back to haunt him. When he heard his father swearing his eyes snapped open. "Now do you see why I was screaming, Father? The boy I have been mean to is the most powerful and richest wizard in our world both magically and politically. He could crush us and there is not a bloody thing that we can do about it."

Lucius swallowed hard as he realized the truth in his son's words. He had no doubt that if Harry Potter wanted to do that he could end his family and would be in the right to do so. He could only hope and pray that Harry was forgiving and believed in giving people another chance. He looked at his wife and then his son. "Harry Potter has the right to end the Malfoy family for the wrongs that we have committed against him. If we want the chance to come out of everything unscathed then we need to change the way we think and act. Draco, from now on I want you to be nothing but respectful to Harry Potter and all of his friends. Narcissa, you need to reach out and mend the bridges that have been broken between you and Andromeda. I have no doubt that Harry or even Sirius Black will be reinstating them into the Black family while casting out those that they feel have wronged them. I, myself will be writing a formal apology to Harry Potter and Miss Granger. I would write one to the Weasley's, but I want to see if they stick by him first or not. I am still not sure if Molly Weasley nee Prewett set it up so that Harry would become friends with the youngest Weasley boy. I would not put it past her because of her greed. Am I understood?"

Narcissa nodded. "I will write and send an owl to Andromeda before the end of the day, Lucius. Would it be alright to invite her and her family over to the Manor?"

Lucius nodded curtly. "I think that is a splendid idea, darling. Draco, I want you to write an apology letter to Miss Granger and apologize for every little thing that you have done to her. I hate to repeat myself, but I will just this once. If we are to survive was is to come, then we need to make amends for the wrongs that we have done." After he saw his son nod at him he swept out of the family room and back to his office. He had several letters that needed to be written and he needed to floo call Severus to see what needs to be done to help Bones, Potter, Greengrass, and Lovegood with taking their rightful places in Hogwarts. He would do what he could to make sure that the transition went as smooth as it could.

Hermione Granger's eyes widened in shock and surprise as she read The Daily Prophet. She couldn't believe what she was reading so ended up reading it another six times to make sure that her eyes weren't playing tricks on her. She could not contain a whoop of joy which brought her mother and father running to her bedroom. When she saw them looking at her in shock she blushed even as she held the newspaper out to them so that they could read it. "Harry is finally free of his so called relatives. I am not sure exactly what everything means that was said in the paper, but Harry no longer has to listen to anybody who tells him that he has to go to his aunt and uncle's during the summer. It also means now that Headmaster Dumbledore can no longer tell Harry what to do outside of school."

At that Dan Granger looked at his daughter with a raised eyebrow. "Why would the Headmaster be able to tell your friend Harry what he can do when he is not at school?"

Hermione sighed and ran a hand through her hair that was finally starting to straighten out a litter. "From what Headmaster Dumbledore told Harry, or led him to believe, he was Harry's Magical Guardian or something like that. He was constantly forcing Harry back to his stupid relatives when he knew that Harry's relatives did not treat him the way that he should be treated. Now Harry is truly out from the Headmaster's control and will be able to make changes that desperately need to be made at Hogwarts. I need to go to Flourish and Blotts to see if I can find any books about the older Wizarding world family names. I know that some of the ones that Harry now has attached to his name are important, but the thing is I'm not sure how important they are."

Emily smiled fondly. "We will take you to Diagon Alley tomorrow, Hermione. For now, why don't you write your friend to check and see how he is doing. This all must have been one big shock to him."

Hermione nodded and sat down to do just that. She wanted to make sure that Harry was alright and to let him know that if he or the other three needed help with anything she would do whatever she could to help them.

Molly Weasley was just sitting down to a late lunch with her husband and her four youngest children when The Daily Prophet was delivered. When she opened it and read the headlines she shouted "No! This can't be!"

Arthur looked at his wife with a raised eyebrow as he reached out and snagged the paper from his wife's hands. After reading the headlines he grinned. "Good for Harry."

Molly looked at him with a glare. "No, Harry cannot claim his heritage because if he does then it will ruin all the plans that have been made."

Arthur's eyes hardened as he looked at his wife. "Just what plans are those, Molly? I told you when I found you plotting before Harry even came to Hogwarts that you had better not try anything or you would live to regret it. Just what plans have you been making that Harry could ruin by claiming his heritage? Tell me now, Molly!"

Molly paled when she saw the rage in her husband's eyes. She could feel his command take hold and swallowed hard. "Albus had me set up the meeting at Kings Cross Station to make sure that Ron befriended Harry and turned him against any house other Gryffindor. Albus has been paying for Ginny and Ron's Hogwarts tuition out of Potter's vault. He also talked about having Ginny and Harry marry so that we get access to his vaults. Ron has been getting paid to be Potter's friend and spy on him."

Arthur's face grew thunderous. "HOW COULD YOU, MOLLY?! HOW COULD YOU WILLINGLY STEAL FROM A BOY WHO GAVE EVERYTHING TO DESTROY VOLDEMORT! YOU WILL PAY BACK EVERY GALLEON THAT YOU HAVE BEEN PAID FROM HARRY'S VAULTS PLUS INTEREST. YOU, RONALD, AND GINERVA WILL STAY AWAY FROM THE LAD. ONE FOOT OUT OF LINE AND I WILL KICK YOU OUT OF THIS FAMILY. I, Arthur Billius Weasley, Head of the Weasley family do hereby bound Molly Anne Weasley to the Burrow unless I give her permission to leave. So I say, so mote it be!"

Molly paled even as she gasped as she felt the magic taking hold of her. "Arthur, you can't do this to me! I was only doing what I was told by the Leader of the Light! You have no right to punish me. I demand that you undo this now!"

Arthur's eyes flashed with anger as he stood up. "I have every right and you damn well know it, Molly! I am the head of this family, not you! You had no right to do Albus Dumbledore's bidding without consulting me since it is my name that you have. If Harry brings charges against you then you can damn well be sure I won't stop him. We will be having a family meeting later on once I can get Bill and Charlie here. I will discover just how far you have gone."

Ron showed his stupidity as he blurted out "Does this mean I won't be getting paid any longer? It's just not fair that Harry gets everything!"

Arthur turned towards his youngest son and shouted "GO TO YOUR BEDROOM NOW! I WILL BE UP LATER TO DEAL WITH YOU!" He waited until he heard Ron's bedroom door shut before he turned to look at his daughter. "If I find out that you have known what your mother and brother have been up to you will wish that you never found out." He then turned his glare to Molly. "See what you have done? From now on everything will be cleared by me before you can make any decisions regarding our children."

He saw Fred and George glaring at Ginny and Molly so he motioned for them to follow him and walked outside to his shed. He needed to put some distance between him and his wife before he did or said something he wasn't sure he would regret or not. Once they were in his shed he looked at his twin sons. "I know that you two had nothing to do with any of this. I would like you to write Harry and offer him any support that he needs. I will be writing to your older brothers and have them come home so that we can have a family meeting. I fear that your mother has done something so bad that she very well could end up in Azkaban for."

Fred shook his face at the look on his dad's face. "Dad, you can't blame yourself for this."

George nodded. "The fault lies with Mom, Ron, and Ginny."

Fred shrugged. "We'll write to Harry."

George smiled. "He won't blame you or any of the rest of us."

Fred smiled. "He knows we'd never betray him."

Arthur couldn't help but smile. "I'll let you two go write him then while I write to your brothers. For now, leave your mother, sister, and younger brother alone. We'll decide later what their punishments will be."

Fred and George both nodded and then followed their dad out of his shed and back to the house. They ignored their mother and sister as they made their way to their bedroom while their father made his way to his study. They had no doubt that Harry wouldn't blame them at all and would lay the blame exactly where it belonged.
