After the Weasley's family left Grimmauld Place it quickly started looking
like a manor befitting a Lord. Harry and Hermione were planning the evening
that they were going to set up the alliance the graced the five families for
centuries until Sirius went to prison and the last two of age Potter's were
killed. Harry also hoped that good old Lucius would argue that Harry's
Lordship over the house of Black isn't legal, and that it should be his son.
The magic of the ring would prove that Harry should be the Lord Black.
Saturday morning came and Kreature was finishing some cleaning and then
started cooking for the circle of people he was use to cook for. The three
families sent a message back to Harry that they could come over at seven in
the evening.
At six-thirty the doorbell rang. Kreature answered the door and let in the
Greengrass', Bones', and the Longbottom's.
"Master is waiting for you in his study. Diner will be severed at seven
fifteen in the main dining room." said Kreature with a bow.
"Elf, please show us to your Master," said Amelia Bones.
"This way Lords and Ladies," said Kreature showing them to the study. "Master
your guests has arrived."
"Thank you Kreature. Please continue with the meal."
"Yes Master." said Kreature bowing as he left the room.
"Please take a seat while we discuse why I brought you here," Harry said as he
waved his arm to the chairs and couches.
"Now what is so important Lord Potter-Black?" asked Amelia Bones as she sat
down next to her niece.
"Thank you for coming. Now my plan is, I want the five families to work
together again. I want our alliance to prove to be as strong as it has ever
been. This is what I want. I also wanted to get to know my second betroth."
said Harry.
"Second betrothed?" Lady Longbottom asked.\
"Yes, I am betrothed to two ladies. The first is Lady Daphne Greengrass who is
the betrothal to Lord Black, while Hermione Granger is the betrothal to Lord
Potter."
"Okay I propose we use the same standard our families has used for centuries."
said Lord Henry Greengrass as he rubbed his chin.
Amelia grinned as she replied, "Okay yes, the House of Bones will work with
you. However, there is no use to change our wonderful system with us." said
Amelia, "It shall fall to the new generation. I think we adults should just be
advisor's to the new Lords and Ladies.. Now with Harry controlling the house
of Black and Potter, I will stand aside and let Susan control the house of
Bones. Augusta why don't you let Neville take over the house of Longbottom.
Henry let Daphne take over house of Greengrass."
"Until we are ready to let the world know we are working together how about we
keep it a secret,"Said Harry. "Also Lord Greengrass I would like to ask for
your permission for Daphne to stay here so I can get to know my betrothed. I
do have appropriate chaperone so you don't have to worry about your daughter's
virtue."
"And who is that?" Henry asked.
"Now I need an oath that what I'm going to tell you doesn't leave here. It's
vital to a man's life," Harry stated.
"You have it," Henry said because some reason he trusted the young lord.
Everyone quickly gave the oath and Harry stated talking.
"Thirteen years ago, the Ministry threw a young man in prison without a trial.
It was said that he was my parent's secret keeper. He wasn't. It was their
other friend Peter Pettigrew that was. In my third year, we met Peter and he
confessed that he was the secret keeper and how he led Lord Voldemort to my
parents house. Sirius went to confront him and he cut his finger off and blew
up the street. He then changed into a rat and escaped. Leaving behind just a
finger. Now anyone who can tell you about explosions, bodies are not just
vaporized. If Peter was killed, then more than just a finger would have been
found.
"You're saying Lord Black was thrown in prison without…" Amelia started to
say.
"Yes, without a trial. I plan on rectifying that when I take my seats. Do I
have your backing?" Harry stated.
"You do," everyone agreed.
"Sirius, can you change please," Harry asked.
Sirus changed from his dog form and bowed to everyone. "Good evening
everyone.
Henry looked at Sirius and then at Lord Potter-Black, "As her Lord I am not
worried about her virtue with you. She can stay here."
"Master the dinner is served." said Kreature.
"Thank you Kreature. Daphne did you get the perfect position?"
"No Milord I didn't. I would have to say it probably went to Malfoy and
Parkinson." said Daphne.
"Well I found a copy of the original decree for perfects for all houses of
Hogwarts. Slytherin House has a decree saying that the perfects have to come
from Ancient and Noble families. Hufflepuff house says the most loyal.
Ravenclaw has to be in the top two percent of their house. And Gryffindor has
to have natural leadership and be the bravest of the house. Now for the head
students they have to be respected by three quarter of the student body.
Henery, did you know if you marry a daughter of a superior house the head of
that house is your Head of House?"
"Yes I did Harry. Why do ask?" asked Henry Greengrass.
"Because under the by-laws of Hogwarts you have to ask your Head of House
before you can be on the Quidditch team or be a perfect,"said Harry with a
grin.
"Oh I see where you getting at Harry. Malfoy never asked his true head of
house to be on the house team or to approve of his appointment to perfect.
What are you going to do?"
"After the sorting I am going to bust Malfoy and Parkinson hopes. I am going
to use the only decree for perfects ever approved by the board of governors to
force Snape and Dumbledore to pick new perfects."
"Let me write the letters and all you will have to do is sign them and present
them." said Daphne with a wicked laugh.
Albus Dumbledore was furious. Molly had fire called him as soon as he returned
from Geneva and told him to that Harry threw them out of Grimmauld Place.
Albus just arrived at Sirius home and was going to find out why Harry threw
out the Weasley's. He would even go as far as to order Harry to allow them to
move back in. Albus walked into the house like he owned it. He called for
Kreature and asked for the whereabouts of Harry.
"Master didn't tell Kreature he couldn't tell people where he was. Master is
in the dining room eating supper with his guest."
Albus stormed up to the dining room. He was wondering how Harry got guest
pasted the filius charm that he placed on the house. He opened the door and
saw Harry, Hermione, Sirius, Amelia Bones, her niece Susan, Augusta, and her
grandson Neville, and Henry Greengrass his wife Helen and their daughter
Daphne and Astoria.
"Harry why did you throw the Weasley's out?" asked Dumbledore.
"Why did you not knock on the door and wait for my elf to announce you?" asked
Harry.
"Because I have run of the house whenever I want to come into the house."
"That has changed Headmaster. I have taken control of the full Black and
Potter estate. You are only allowed on one of my properties if I invite you.
Now why are you here?"
"I want to know why you threw the Weasley's out?"
"Because Molly can't keep her opinions to herself. Then she tried to tell me I
was making a mistake because I am betrothed to Daphne Greengrass. Arthur is
picking me up on the twelfth to take me to see Madame Mafalda Hopkirk. I am
sure I will be getting off."
"You will need me there Harry."
"No! I needed you the night I was attacked or how about the night Voldemort
came back? I have found two laws that grantee I will be cleared of all
charges. Now I am only going to ask you once please see yourself out and never
come to this house again."
"What about our meetings?"
"What meeting Albus?" asked Amelia.
"We are mythical creatures club."
"Now tell her the truth headmaster. The meetings are about Voldemort, Amelia."
said Hermione "The headmaster was using this house because of it unplottable.
Then he placed the Fidelius charm on this house."
"Then headmaster, you have two days before I bring in the curse breakers that
the DMLE employ to take down that charm. With the way Lord Potter-Black just
told you not to come back to this house I am sure he doesn't want you trying
to control who visit his house. I am sure you're the secret keeper."
"I would like to know how he was able to invite all of you into the house?"
asked Albus.
"Because he owns the house Albus the wards allow him to invite anyone he
wants." said Sirius. "Harry asked you to leave now."
Albus quickly left as not to get Madame Bones angry with him any more then she
already was. He was also worried if Harry was meeting with the other Ancient
and Noble families then they were going to start working together and that
meant trouble for the power base he had set up. Fudge right now wouldn't
listen to him right now. So he would see how this would play out.
The families left one by one until only the Greengrass' were left.
"Daphne, I will have our elf bring over your luggage. Harry how long are you
planning on keeping my daughter to get to know her?" asked Henry.
"As long as it takes, or when she wants to return home. It is up to her. I
just want to get to know her. We have just had bear minimum connect because of
certain members of her house."
"I get that and I know which member you are talking about. The son of the
bottom feeder who wants to believe they are the top of social ladder. Well we
are going to go. It was nice to meet you Lord Potter-Black and you Lady
Hermione." said Henry as he kissed Hermione's hand. After that, he and his
wife left the manor with their youngest daughter.
