Daphne taught Harry and Hermione the pureblood way of life. She taught Harry the rules of the council of five. She taught Hermione how to be a proper wife and Lady to a pureblood Lord. How to lord over the minor houses. Amelia sent daily reports on what is happening. Like the fact that Fudge and Umbridge got laws passed so they could interfere at Hogwarts. Then on the eleventh Amelia sent Harry a letter telling him that Fudge changed the venue for his hearing from Madame Hopkirk's office to a full hearing in front of the Wizengamot and changed the time from ten to nine with the hope Harry wouldn't show up and he could convict Harry without him being present.
The morning of the twelfth Arthur stopped by and escorted Harry, Daphne and Hermione to the Ministry. Arthur told them that the meeting was on his floor in the Ministry. Arthur decided to use the Floo network since there are more than he expected going to the Ministry. Arthur picked them up at a quarter till nine. When they arrived at the ministry they were stopped at the desk in the main lobby where they had to have their wands inspected.
"Do they have visitor badges, Arthur?"
"No we came through the Floo network. The young Lord Harry James Potter-Black is here for a hearing do to underage magic. Lady Daphne Greengrass and Hermione Granger are here for moral support. Eric, can you please check their wands and give them ID badges."
"Oh! Here you go." said Eric as he passed each of them their wands and a badge, "Please pin the badges on the front of your robes. Also, stay with Arthur Weasley while you're in the ministry."
Arthur led the three kids to the elevators. "We are going to Level 2 to the Magical Law Enforcement."
When they entered the elevator and it started down.
"Level seven Department of Magical Games and Sport"
"Level Six Department of Magical Transportation"
"Level Five Department of International Magical Cooperation"
"Level Four Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures"
"Level Three Department of Magical Accidents"
"Level Two Department of Magical Law Enforcement"
"This is us. My office is on the other side of the floor." said Arthur leading the three passed the Wizengamot headquarters, the Aurors department and into Improper Use of Muggle Artifacts."
After a few minutes of sitting in Arthur's office his assistant came running into the office.
"Arthur I just heard that they moved that Potter boy's hearing to the old courtroom at nine."
"That's in just a few minutes. Come on you three." said Arthur not really knowing he was addressing the heads of three ancient and noble houses.
They rushed to the elevator and Arthur pushed the down button. The elevator stopped again.
"Mr. Weasley already knew of the change in the time and location. Madame Bones has been keeping us informed."
"You knew?"
"Yes we knew."
"Level One Department of Mysteries, the office of the Minister, and the Old Courtrooms."
"This is the courtroom that you need to go into Harry. I can't go in."
Harry and his betrothals went into the courtroom.
"You are late Mr. Potter please take a seat in front of us. You two get out of here. This is no place for children." said Minister Fudge.
"Except Minister Fudge this is Lady Daphne Greengrass eldest daughter and heir to the Ancient and Most Noble House of Greengrass. The betrothed to Lord Black. And I am the future Lady Potter." said Hermione.
"Miss Granger you are on thin ice too for helping with the spreading of lies and trying incite a riot." said Dolores Umbridge. "And there is no Lord Potter because the last Potter is under the age of seventeen."
"Actual Madame Umbridge the Wizengamot cannot pass a law that interferers with another law. The law pre-dates the seventeen hundreds that says that the last scion of an ancient and noble house is emancipated at the age of thirteen. Under the Merlin code of the year of two hundred states an underage wizard or witch can be emancipated if said witch or wizard can perform the strongest light defensive magic in the area. The night that the Minister and several members of the DRCMC were at Hogwarts I performed the Patrounas charm that drove away every Dementor that was at Hogwarts."
"I saw no such thing." said Minister Fudge. "Neither did the members of the DRCMC."
"Actually Minister every member that you took with you came back and told me about how the two hundred Dementors that was stationed at Hogwarts fled when they came in contact with a patrounas." said the Head of DRCMC.
"I order them not to say anything. Tell them they are fired for disobeying a direct order from the most senior member of the Ministry."
"No minister I will not fire them because they were doing their job." said the head of the DRCMC.
"Let's get on with this hearing. Are you Mister Harry James Potter of Number Four, Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey."
"No I am Lord Harry James Potter-Black of Godric's Hallow. You will not disrespect where countless generations of Potter's have called home." said Harry as he noticed Lucius Malfoy in the stands.
"You can't be Lord of the house of Black. Since your godfather was convicted of murder of twelve muggles and a wizard."
"Was your son even added to the wards of the manor of the head of house? I know my great uncle Orion Sirius Black thought you were nothing but a bottom feeder. He only signed the contract because his wife wanted her niece to be with a pureblood wizard, and she talked Orion into the contract. He knew your family had a history of supporting Dark Wizards in France and when your family came to England your great grandfather continued the tradition. If you want proof the head of house ring supported my claim on the house of Black summon your son. So we can get this over with." said Harry with the authority of a lord of ancient and noble houses.
"Minister, may I summon my son we can clear this up."
"Yes Lord Malfoy you may." said minister Fudge.
"Minister you have to address Mister Malfoy by Mister he is no Lord," said Lord Greengrass. The only houses that has Lords are the houses of Greengrass', Bones, Longbottom's, Black's and Potter's. Together we make up the council of five who has the final say in all things that the Ministry and Hogwarts does."
After a few moments the doors to the courtroom opened and in walked Lucius and Draco.
"This is the person who claims he is the head of the house of Black." said Draco in his usual sneer. "Greengrass what are you doing here?"
"You will find out soon enough" said Daphne.
"So Malfoy you think you are the only one who can claim the Black Lordship. I will let you try on the head of house ring." said Harry.
"You will let me. You are nothing but a half blood." sneered Draco.
Harry took off the ring and handed the ring to Draco. Draco put the ring on and the ring glowed black for a second and blasted him into the wall behind him, and the ring reappeared onto Harry's hand.
"Now that is taken care of, let's get on with this mockery of a trial." said Harry.
"How dare you attack a pureblood you filthy halfblood." said Umbridge.
"Madame Umbridge you know the bylaws of this body you never bring up someone's blood status," said Madame Bones. "And Harry is the last scion of one of the eldest bloodlines in the wizarding world. Let's get this trial started, now that we have settled the claim over the head of house of Black."
"Did you knowingly and willingly perform magic in front of a muggle?"
"It was because..."
"You performed a patrounas charm in front a muggle?"
"Yes it was because of the …."
You perform a corporal patrounas Lord Potter-Black?" asked Madame Bones.
"A what patrounas."
"I mean it had a clear form not just smoke and vapor." said Madame Bones.
"It is always a stag."
"Always what how long have been perform the patrounas charm?"
"Since third year. Professor Lupin taught me because I have a slight problem with Dementors. Since we have decided that I have been emancipated since the beginning of my third year at Hogwarts this hearing is over. Madame Bones is Madame Hopkirk here?"
"I am here Lord Potter-Black. What can I do for you?"
"Who gave the order to send me the underage magic order?"
"Minister Fudge told me to watch your neighborhood for the magic. He said that you would perform magic because you believed yourself above the law." said Madame Hopkirk. "He also told me he would fire me if I didn't send that letter."
"Madame Bones arrest the Minister for trying to interfere with the Ancient and Noble Houses," said Harry as the doors opened and in walked Albus Dumbledore.
"Witness for the accused..."
"Stop right there Albus. Harry already got himself off of those ridiculous charges. Now Harry is there anything else you want to bring to this body?" said Amelia Bones.
"Yes I will like to bring up the fact that for twelve years there was a man in Azkaban prison that never had a trial. His name is Sirius Orion Black. I would like to know who threw the rightful Lord Black in prison without a trial."
