When they arrived at Grimmauld Place Harry asked Kreacher for some lunch and led the way to the library.
Sitting down at the desk he ignored the will ball that he had yet to view and took out the letter from the Minister and opened it. Inside there was a letter and another sheet of parchment. Looking at the letter first it read:
Dear Mr Harry Potter,
Please accept this letter as an invitation to do everything in your power to put an end to this war.
As Minister, and member of the Wizengamot, I here by give you carte blanche to do what ever needs to be done, including but not exclusively the use of under age magic, use of unforgivables and associated magic, and permission to take you apparition test early.
This carte blanche is non retractable and will stay in place for the rest of your life.
If there are others who can aid you and you believe that they need to be covered by this carte blanche then please add their names to the bottom.
If you need to get in contact with me Percy Weasley (who has, as far as he can without disinheriting himself, disassociated himself from his family,) will put you straight through.
If I can be of any assistance then please contact me,
Ernest Ollivander (Minister of Magic)
.
"Wow," said Harry, and handed the letter over to Neville and Luna to read. Next he picked up the other sheet of parchment and read that.
Further to our talk the other day here are the aims that I want to propose to the Wizengamot to move the Wizarding world forward:
A decree that states the Voldemort is back that War measures need to be put into place. This includes informing the Wizengamot of you carte blanche and setting up an emergency fund to help those in need at this time.
To repeal laws that hold back the rights of wizards that are classed as creatures e.g. Werewolves and Vampires.
To create a 'code of practice' for dealing with other races of magical being which puts us both onto an even standing.
To put in place a pre Hogwarts education system in place. Especially for those muggle born or muggle raised students.
To tighten up the law around the families of 'above students'.
To repeal the law on under age magic to those who have sat and passed at least 3 O.W.L.S
I think that is enough to be going on for now. In regard to the trial that you received – apparently it was requested by the headmaster 'to show you as an example that no one can get away with using underage magic,' and to the other it appears that 'all' post addressed to you goes directly to the headmaster.
This has now been rectified, and means that you should allocate a mailroom so that everything will be deposited there, to be searched for hexes and the like. You will need access to the wards for that.
That is all for now – let me know if you will support these measures and if there is anything else that I can do to help. Ernest.

By the time Harry had read the last part of the missive the lights were flickering and a cold breeze had picked up.
Both Luna and Neville rushed over to Harry and wrapped their arms around him, murmuring words of reassurance to him, Harry slowly calmed down.
"What is it Harry?" Harry went to reply but the breeze picked up again. Wordlessly he handed them the parchment.
Luna ignored the added massage at the bottom and commented on the fact that the measures that were suggested were actually quite good.
Neville agreed, and slowly they released Harry and sat back down. Harry gave them a slight smile and called to Kreacher for lunch. As they ate they talked over what had happened and what the next step should be.
Harry said that he had to speak to Tom that afternoon, Neville and Luna wanted to go and collect some items from Neville's house were unsure if it was safe to do so. In the end Neville asked Kreacher if he would go to his house and ask 'Nobby' Neville's personal elf to return with him.
While Neville and Luna sorted out what they needed and where they would sleep, Harry settled back into his chair, closed his eyes before he called to Tom he looked at all the pulls on his magic, how quickly could he take then down? He wondered.
Looking at the ones that were left going towards the burrow he angrily yanked at several of the threads and looked more closely at the strands that were left. From what he could see the wards that his magic fed into let the Weasleys know who was in the house and who was entering the house through either the Floo or by apparating.
With a couple of tweaks Harry realised that Ron was in the kitchen and that Mrs Weasley was in the garden sorting out the washing. Gently he pulled back, 'that could be useful,' he thought as he called out to Tom.
"Tom, are you there? I have got lots to ask you."
"Yes, I am here Harry – what was happening earlier – I could feel your magic swirling around and picking up power."
"Oh, you know just the ordinary thing, like discovering that someone who you trusted arranged for you to have a full trail in a court room, without having it investigated, instead of community service or nothing."
As Harry spoke, his anger came through and once again Tom could feel the magic picking up.
Tom pushed with his own magic till he appeared as a figure in Harry's mind. Reaching out for the magic he grasped it and pulled it to him. Moments later as Tom looked down he realised that he had a Potter in his arms.
Harry in his mind burrowed into the warmth that was Tom, when he calmed down again, he looked up and was surprised at what he saw. Gone was 'Mr Snake Face' and hello 'Good Looking'.
Tom's arms tightened around Harry for a moment before he realised him.
Harry stepped back and looked again at Tom, "thank you," he said. Tom nodded, Harry continued, "I am really tired now, do you think that if I sent Hedwig to you that you would write down those aims that you mentioned the other day."
Tom nodded and said, "when will you tell me about the prophecy?"
Harry smiled and said, "soon, it is very nearly negated and won't matter. When that happens I will tell you everything."
"Good," Tom sighed, "I can't wait to have another 'chat' with you," he smirked.
Harry blushed and quickly sat up. After he sent off Hedwig, Harry helped Neville and Luna sort out which rooms they wanted. Not long after that Hedwig returned.
Opening the letter from the Dark Lord, Harry read it carefully, unsure of what to expect, when suddenly he burst out laughing.
