Griselda Marchbanks sat at her table and was reading her memos, which were sitting there since last week. As she was only once a week in her office in the Department of Magical Education, this was a normal thing.

She, like everyone else had read the proclamation form Minister Fudge in which he had told them about the new Study fees. This was the reason she rad raided her Families library the last few days.

There she had been looking for ways to reverse this increase. Since she had not heard of it until it was published in the Daily Prophet, because as long as she lived, she would make sure that the children of the children of her grandchildren, would enjoy the best of magical schooling there was.

This way she had also come across the lease agreement and asked for a copy of the archive of the Ministry, which she read between her memos.

"Griselda, nice to see you here." The voice of her friend Lady Augusta Longbottom reached her ear.

"How are you? I hope good? I know how much you like visiting your grandchildren." Lady Longbottom continued as she entered the office.

"Of course, I am fine. I'm only 153 years old. I can do a lot with my grandchildren." It came from Griselda.

"Are you sure it's only 153 years, not 200?" Mocked Augusta.

"Behave yourself. Unlike me, you're still a little kid, you're only 70 years old."

The two women talked for a while when Madam Bones entered the office.

"Griselda, Augusta, you should accompany me. Fudge has received an answer to his tuition increase and he does not like it. He has called a special meeting of the Wizengamot," Amelia said to the two ladies.

"It cannot be that this bad when a parent complains," Augusta replied.

"Augusta, do you remember what happened to Snape?" Amelia asked.

"Of course, how can I forget how this Death Eater was thrown out of Hogwarts. My Neville told me about it and we looked at his memory. I've never been happier when a teacher left."

"Well, just imagine, it was done with the Minister!"

The Wizengamot chamber was bustling, members went to their chairs, assistants carried parchment scrolls to their superiors, Aurors went to their positions, and members chatted among themselves.

August, Griselda and Amelia had split up to go to their respective family seats. It took another 10 minutes for all the members to sit in their chairs.

Chief Warlock of Wizengamot Albus Dumbledore struck his desk with his hammer a few times and called everyone to order.

"My dear witches and wizards. This Wizengamot emergency meeting was called for by our much-esteemed Minister Fudge. As such, I hand over the word to him." With these words, Dumbledore opened the session.

"Ladies and gentlemen. As you all know, in collaboration with members of the Hogwarts School Board and senior members of the Magical Education Department, I decided to increase tuition fees for Hogwarts. This was necessary because the costs for Hogwarts could no longer be borne by the Ministry alone. But now I've got a complaint about this increase." Said the minister.

"We are here for a simple complaint?" Asked Tiberius Ogden, one of the oldest members.

"We are not responsible for that." said another member, which led to the more members expressed their displeasure.

As it grew louder and louder in the room, Albus knocked his gavel down on the table again and called the members to rest: "Rest in the hall. Minister Fudge still has the floor."

"Thanks, Chief Warlock Dumbledore. Like I said we got a complaint. In it the cancel Hogwarts' lease agreement was canceled."

For the second time in a few minutes, a commotion broke out in the chamber. Even Dumbledore was unable to rest.

So only a few people saw how two people entered the room.

The few who saw it looked at them in surprise, because if a session was up and running, only the doors to the visitor gallery were open.

The two were a man and a woman who were apparently in their thirties. Both wore very good quality robes and had family crests on the left chest.

Griselda was one of the few who noticed the two. She looked at each other and got a grin on the face.

"Like your grandfather and father." She murmured to herself, watching the two of them sat on one of Wizengamot vacant seats.

While Griselda kept an eye on the two, chaos took its course in the rest of the room.

It was not until someone made a loud bang with his wand that the members began to calm down, allowing Albus to calm down completely.

"I am giving the floor to Member Greengrass." Albus voice boomed in the hall.

"Thanks, Chief Warlock. What I would like to know from Minister Fudge is who has written the letter and who has received on too. I do not think he was just send to the minister," said the head of the Greengrass family.

"Listen, listen!" Ripe Griselda.

"Um. The letter went to me and a Muggle, named Elisabeth II. It was sent by ... " Fudge clarified the members question when he was suddenly interrupted by someone.

"From me. I sent this letter." Spoke the man who had entered the room unobserved.

"Lord James Charlus Potter, Lord Potter, Earl Peverell, and risen from the dead."

The bomb had burst. Earl Peverell was unmasked, he was also believed dead, was the topping on the cake.

"I canceled the contract because the ministry did not follow it anymore. The increase in tuition fees was neither discussed with us nor was it necessary. The increase is solely for the Ministry, the School Advisory Councils and, above all, the owner of the A.H.G Foundation, Minister Fudge personally."

It was loud again, but a second cannon strike lowered the volume again.

"In the last 50 years, fees have been increased only minimally as fewer students came to Hogwarts. But what was done here is more than just an increase in tuition fees, as the minister calls it. Of the entire Galleon to be paid, only 250 ₲ flow into the Hogwarts safe. 250 ₲ of 5000 ₲. So far there have been 500 ₲, of which 400 ₲ were for Hogwarts. Also, the subsidy of the Ministry, which according to contract must correspond to the same sum, was reduced to 10 ₲. That's a breach of contract. That's why we're reopening the Old Hogwarts vault and the fees are the same as now. If there are any further questions, my wife and I will be happy to answer you in three days at a meeting in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. "
