The lights in the Wizengamot chamber were flickering as William Fawley entered the chamber. The body fell silent as Fawley announced,"The Duke of Azkaban is dead."

Castor Greengrass, the Speaker of the Wizengamot, rose from his seat and murmured,"In accordance with the Merlin Concordat I put forth the motion that the Spell of Azkaban be cast so the new Duke can be revealed. All in favour?" All hands were raised."Opposed? Motion is passed by a quorum. Junior Undersecretary Weasley go fetch Unspekables Croaker and Rookwood."

Percy Weasley rushed out of the chamber as the members of the Wizengamot began to whisper amongst themselves. Castor turned and stared at Minister Fudge, who had paled considerably since the announcement. He wrote on a piece of parchment: Martial Law Motion. Castor then passed the note over to Esmeralda Macmillan, who looked at it then nodded.

The two Unspekables entered the room ten minutes later with Percy behind them. Castor announced,"Unspekable Croaker due to the motion passed by a quorum in accordance with the Merlin Concordat, we request that you cast the Spell of Azkaban."

Croaker nodded and chanted,"Dux revelare novum in magica virtute et robore." A silver light glowed throughout the chamber before it spelled out the name: Harry James Potter

"In further accordance with the Merlin Concordat we request forthwith the Madam Amelia Helen Bones and Head Auror Ares Septim Yaxley that they go collect The new Duke from his studies at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. All in favour?" All hands were raised. "Opposed? Passed by a quorum. Madam Bones collect the Head Auror and retrieve the Duke. Lady Macmillan."

Esmeralda rose and said gracefully,"I put forth the motion for Martial Law as the last time a Duke He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named began the Wizarding War."

"All in favour?" Most hands were raised. "Opposed?" A small amount raised their hands. "Passed by a majority. Junior Undersecretary please record the results and send a memo to the Committee for the Defence and Security of the Wizarding World."

Percy nodded and scribbled the results down in the Wizengamot Book of Records.

Castor banged his gavel onto his podium and said,"The motion is that this house now adjourns. All in favour?" Every hand was raised. "That this house do now adjourn until the Duke is retrieved."

Amelia Bones and Ares Yaxley appeared at the gate that leads into the Hogwarts' grounds. Madam Bones pulled out her wand and said in a clear voice,"Madam Amelia Bones and Head Auror Ares Yaxley to retrieve a student."

The gates swung open and the two walked upto the oak front doors. Ares led the way into the castle and towards the Great Hall, where the students were having their dinner.

"Headmaster-" Amelia began.

Madam Umbridge said,"Albus Dumbledore is no longer Headmaster."

"Very well, Headmistress I require that Mr Harry James Potter comes with us to the Wizengamot."

"You may take the boy Madam Bones. Shall I have the house-elves pack his belongings?"

Ares asked confused,"Why would we want you to do that?"

"Isn't the boy getting charged?" Umbridge asked as Harry approached Amelia.

"No. Come on Mr Potter all will be explained." The two Aurors led Harry out of the hall and towards the apparition point.

The Wizengamot was sat in the chamber for the second time that day with Harry standing in front of them. Castor announced,"Mr Potter what do you know about your ancestors?"

"Nothing sir." Harry replied cautiously.

"Why?"

"I was raised by my muggle relatives."

"Use mundane Harry. Now Junior Undersecretary read out the passage."

"It is written on this date of the 13th June 946 by Duke Salazar Slytherin of Azkaban I declare that any future Dukes of Azkaban must be of at least fifteen summers old and must be of my descent." Percy read out from the ancient book next to him."If there is no Heir of Slytherin that is magical than the Head of the Wizard's Council shall hold the title of Duke of Azkaban until forthwith a new Duke is found."

"Thank you Junior Undersecretary." Castor mururmered."Harry were you the fourth champion in the Triwizard Tournament?"

Harry answered,"Yes I was."

"Record that. Lord Thicknesse am I correct in saying that the funeral of the Duke will be in a weeks time?"

Pius Thicknesse rose and replied,"That is correct Mr Speaker."

"The motion is that this house do now adjourn. All in favour?" Every hand was raised."Opposed? Passed by a quorum. Minister for Public Defence assign Scrimgeour and Shacklebolt to the Duke's guard."

Ares nodded and tapped his auror medallion, he said,"They will be waiting in the atrium for him sir."

"This house do now adjourn." Castor slammed his gavel on the podium."Harry wait I want to speak to you."

Once all the Wizengamot members had left Harry asked,"What do you want sir?"

Castor sat down on one of the steps leading upto the podium and gestured for Harry to join him before saying,"My wife was very good friends with your mother when they were at Hogwarts."

"Rea-"

"We would be happy if you came to stay with us for the summer and if you called me Uncle Castor."

Harry smiled,"Thank you Uncle Castor."

The black haired man smiled tiredly before standing up and muttering,"You had better get along Harry."
