COVEN CHAPTER FIFTEEN -

The following month Daphne, Hermione and Harry entered the Wizengmont chamber to announce their seats. Harry was found to have twenty-one seats and votes and had procured another 15 proxy seats from Dumbledore's brother Abe and others. Many yelled in outrage at him having 27% of the total votes at his disposal. Daphne took her seat as Regent for house Greengrass, even though it had no money or property to the house it did retain it's seat. She brought with her from her father's political contracts another four votes by proxy.

Daphne had another ace up her sleeve as Tracy was regent for house Davis and her Father had procured another 10 proxy votes by political contract and conquest. This brought Harry's control of Wizengmont seats to 52 seats out of the 131seats available.

As Harry and his wives took their seats House Longbottom, House Bones, and House Patil announced their alliance and support of Harry Potter. This alliance gave this voting block a 51% quorom within the Wizengmont. At this pronouncement House Lestrange stood up "This is outrageous! This gives the Potter alliance a clear majority and cannot be allowed and I protest this entire event."

Daphne shot out of her seat because she remembered Alan Lestrange as the most eager Board member seeking her out to blackmail for sex. "I wonder sir…If you would squeal like a little girl if the vote were to your advantage?"

Lestrange looked at her and wagged his finger "Listen bitch I know all about you and I know exactly why you have aligned yourself and allowed him to use you for your own political gain."

Daphne then laughed and then mocked him by holding her index finger up an showing it falling over "Yes, a little wizard such as yourself offering me the chance to let your pathetic excuse of a penis touch me so I can get my families money back or…

Daphne motioned by lifting her whole forearm indicating Harry's big size "Allow a real Lord and a real man my body freely. I ran to his arms and his protection. I am one of the most satisfied witches in Britain for it, isn't that right Master?"

Every woman in the Wizengmont was laughing at her pronouncement. Lestrange stood across the chamber and turned purple with rage. "You whore! I can trace back…"

Hermione stood up and continued for him "You can trace back your inbreeding to have a small penis 1,000 years or more. That is …I don't know ladies inadequate or perhaps a premature spurt of nonsense?"

The laughter raised by that statement went throughout the entire Chamber and as Harry watched he let his wand drop as he carefully watched Alan Lestrange heat up and simmer until his pride exploded in a violent explosion "YOU MUDBLOOD WHORE! YOU THINK YOU CAN WALK IN HERE AND DICTATE WHAT THE RIGHTFUL OWNERS OF MAGIC SHOULD DO?"

Harry didn't hesitate as he surprised everyone and apparated to within inches of Alan Lestrange. Harry swung his hand back and slapped him hard across the face making him fall into the next voting booth behind his.

Harry stood up and raised his hand "I, Lord Harry James Potter-Black-Gryffindor-Slytherin call blood fued between House Gryffindor and house Lestrange! So say I, So mote it be."

Lestranges eyes widen in surprise "Wait Lord Potter please perhaps I was a bit hasty."

Harry had fire in his eyes "I know all about you Lestrange and your little Board of Review scam you have going on. You left two heroes of the Battle of Hogwarts out in the cold and penniless and tried to blackmail them into marriage or sex."

Harry picked him up and flung him twenty feet to the chamber floor "After I kill you today! Your partners in crime have twenty-four hours to repatriate every knut, every sickle, and every Galleon, every business, and every possession to House Greengrass and House Davis or I will hunt down the lot of you RATS!"

Harry jumped from the upper chamber seats and landed in front of Alan Lestrange who then attempted to stand up and pull his wand quickly. Harry removed his dagger and hacked his arm off just below the elbow. Alan Lestrange screamed the whole time and then fell to the chamber floor.

Harry transfigured a pebble into a rock and then grabbed Lestranges head and placed it upon it. He pulled the Sword of Gryffindor from his robes and raised it as Alan Lestrange looked up and began to cry heavily and begged as Harry swooped down and cut off his head.

Harry kicked his body off the stone and then plunged the sword through his heart. He placed his wand in front of him "I, Lord Harry James Potter-Black-Gryffindor-Slytherin-Lestrange, claim all property of House Lestrange as mine by right of conquest and blood feud. All monies titles, hereditary seats, properties, and business shall be rolled up into the House Gryffindor and its Vaults. I hereby proclaim this day that house Lestrange is stricken from the rolls of British Heraldry! so say I, so mote it be."

An older man stood up and pointed his finger at Harry "You are a barbarian and you will not be allowed to destroy our society. I move that we censor Lord Potter and remove his seats from the Wizengmont."

Another from across the chamber yelled "I second that motion."

Augusta Longbottom banged her gavel "We have a motion on the floor do I hear any objection?"

Harry answered "I have no objection but wish to notify this chamber, since the Potter block cannot vote on the motion against it that proxy be given to House Longbottom for this vote only."

Members began to scream up and down the aisle. Madam Longbottom screamed "Shut up or I will cancel this pending motion!" When the chamber quieted Madam Longbottom stated from behind the podium "As chief witch I rule that Lord Potter is allowed to give his proxy votes to another for any term of time he desires. He did not place an addendum to his proxy to state how the votes were to be cast, therefore he has properly given his votes to another 3rd party and his proxy to lord Longbottom will stand on this vote. So shall it be done."

Daphne stood up "Chief Witch I lady Greengrass object to this motion for the following grounds First, Lord Potter's wife Lady Potter was insulted and house honor called for justice to be served. Second Lord Potter announced publically his right to claim Blood feud against House Lestrange. House Lestrange by pulling his wand on Lord Potter after having been notified of Lord Potter's claim to Blood feud, under the law had accepted and agreed to that Blood Feud.

If Lord Potter's action were barbaric, then it is the fault of the law because his actions were legal."

Daphne waited while the older man stood up again "He did not have to kill in the manner he did and with such violence. He then removed any history of house Lestrange from the heraldry book and removed an ancient family from the rolls."

Daphne looked at Harry "Lord Potter do you choose to respond?"

"I do Lady Black." Harry answered "My response is this, Rats in the cupboard." Harry sighed and waited for them to digest this "How many of you voted to take all monies, all properties, and all businesses from House Davis and House Greengrass?" Nobody answered or raised their hands.

Harry looked around "That is what he and eight other members did they stripped both houses of valuables and anything of worth and then they filled their vaults and claimed them enemies of the state so they could get away with it." The entire chamber gasped in surprise.

"I and Lady Potter both wrote personal letters to the review board as proof of their sacrifice during the battle to save all the first, second, and third year Slytherins who were being held hostage by Knott, Malfoy, Goyle, and Crabbe, who were all seventh year Slytherin. Lady Greengrass suffered a broken arm, four broken ribs, and a severe concussion before she managed to contact Lady Potter to get help. Lady Davis was tortured brutally for three hours and has the emotional scars today from it.

The Board ignored my letter and chose to believe Malfoy, Knott, Goyle's, and Crabbe's letter stating they were traitor's and helped them. Not only that but Knott, Malfoy, Goyle, and Crabbe did receive ½ of their family money back for doing this."

Harry turned back to the older man "Where was your cry of brutality as the rats in the cupboard were stripping away these heroes livelihood and homes? They didn't try and take their Wizengmont seats because to do so would mean to open the cupboard doors and let all view they were stealing good people blind under our very nose. They acted just like rats in your cupboards steeling your food, stripping the valuables away and leaving just a box.

The arse holes on that review board took everything valuable from House Davis and Greengrass while doing so in hiding." Harry said with venom as he pointed his finger at Lestrange "That rat called blood feud on ancient houses without announcing they were doing so, just like a RAT and I treated him as such."

Harry then looked at the old man "Did you show indignation when they did what they did like you are doing to me?" The old man sunk lower in his seat.

Harry snorted in disgust "I thought not. Please hold your vote."

Within minutes Augusta had the tally and thirteen houses had voted for censor, twenty-one abstained or were not active with 97 votes against. Harry stood when it was finished "For those houses that supported me I thank you and for those that abstained or voted for censor I thank you for my investigation into the ministries Rat infestation has only just begun."

Many members gasped in shock at the veiled threat. Others ran out the door and to Tracy, hidden from view, watched several of them head to the records office three minutes later.

Harry reached the chamber floor and was met by Augusta, Neville, and Amelia. Augusta looked at him with a wary eye before wagging her finger at him "Lord Potter not even you grandfather had enough balls to claim blood feud in chambers but bloody hell if the rest of what you did today wasn't just like him."

Harry grinned "Well his portrait did say I should liven up this chamber from time to time as it was mostly dead boring!"

Augusta looked shocked and then laughed "That bloody old coot!"

Amelia smiled at him "I take it my administration still has a rat problem?"

Harry looked concerned "Amelia I support you one hundred percent as Minister but I am afraid you cannot openly support me and in fact you should preach a mid-line between me and the other extremist."

Amelia smiled as she said "Augusta the man has brass balls and he understands the game we should leave him to his business." Amelia added "I don't condone illegal but grey I can handle on occasion but I need warning."

Harry smirked "Well I should have the files I am looking for in about an hour because several members ran to the records office to have their files destroyed after I claimed I was the exterminator."

Neville frowned "After you just openly exposed them they shall run to underground and they shall never openly oppose you for awhile at least."

Daphne was clinging to Harry as was Hermione and they openly showed their affection to him. When Tracy suddenly came in the door and hugged him from behind Augusta spoke up "I believe I heard that you were married to Lady Hermione, didn't I?"

Hermione smiled "Yes, he did and we have been official recognized by Gringotts but we have not had a formal wedding."

Augusta seemed puzzled "Lady Potter he has two other women hanging on him and you are ok with this?"

Hermione seemed embarrassed "Madam Longbottom I can hardly keep up with him as he is more than a handful, so I had to call my girlfriends to keep his insatiable hungers at bay, what is a woman to do?"

Augusta suddenly looked like a fish out of water and when the four began to laugh she crossed her arms and began tapping her foot in annoyance. Harry chuckling answered "I suppose it would only be proper to announce ourselves. Madam Minister, Lord Longbottom, and Madam Longbottom may I introduce to you Lady Hermione Potter, Lady Daphne Black, and Lady Tracy Slytherin my wives.

Madam Longbottom had to take a few steps back "My goodness, three Lord Potter?"

Amelia chimed in "Have you told Minnie yet?"

Harry scratched his head "No, hadn't thought about it really because we have been so busy."

Tracy mocked sniffed "Perhaps my Lord if you would take us out of the bedroom long enough we could have the proper weddings we deserve."

Harry rolled his eyes and said with a smile "I might remind you Tracy that it was your decision to stay so long in the bedroom."

Amelia and Augusta smiled at them "Lord Potter you are full of surprises." Amelia stated.

Neville laughed "Better you than me mate!"
