Chapter Five: The Prewett Heir:

The mother of Muriel Prewett would be spinning in her grave at what her namesake had done. Dear aunt Muriel ruled what was left of her family with an iron fist. Or had until Ron became a retainer for house Potter and Charlie was now lord Black. She could not even take back the dowry of Molly as lord Black had closed the last loophole that allowed such things making witches fully and truly free to marry who they liked and keep their money too. She wished her sons were alive, they had been so good and done what she wanted, but they were dead and she was stuck with her daughter being married to a Weasley of all people.

"Mistress here is the paper." Fiona, the house elf said placing it at her elbow, "can Fiona get Mistress anything else?"

"No, thank you." Muriel said, she paled as she looked at the front page, "on second thought my special mint tea please."

Prewett Heir Found:

By Rita Skeeter:

Today is a great day for the magical world, for an heir for one of the sacred twenty eight was found. Young Percy Weasley has reached the age of seventeen and has taken on the mantel of lord Prewett. Though the Prewett line is not know for great wealth, powerful magic more than makes up for it. Is that why the Weasley children are so strong?

When asked what he intended to do with his new found lordship lord Prewett had to think for a time, and speak with his father. It is good that even as a lord he would not forget who raised and loved him, even if they are poor. Once he had spoke to his father he had this to say:

"I will make sure my aunt is well cared for, for she deserves nothing less. She will retain the home and vaults she rightfully owns."

When asked about what happened this last year at school and about the events surrounding Harry Potter he had this to say:

"Only Harry can answer that, after two years of peace at Hogwarts things happened, and all I will say is that an innocent man was imprisoned for far too long and the guilty will be given the kiss."

Lord Prewett can be too informal at times but he has a good heart and knows the laws well. Let's hope he is not as radical lord as lord Black is, even if the changes lord Black has made are good ones.

Muriel was about to get good and drunk when there was ping from the floo, she walked over and tapped a few brinks and stepped back as Charlie and Percy came into the house. She curtsied but they were having none of it, they hugged her and called for Fiona to bring "one of her smashing teas" and ushered their aunt to a chair before the fire.

"I wanted you to find out from me first." Percy said, sure his grandmother had done some bad things but she was family, "this was not the way I wanted things to go."

"I only have one vault, you are to ruin me!" The old woman said.

"Not at all, all the upkeep on the house, is taken care of, I got you a new elf, he is not comfortable serving me, and he can't go to what are left of the Black families, he found out about you and wanted to serve you." Charlie said, "his name is Kreacher, he is old but a wonderful servant and will be good for you."

"I have Fiona." "Aunt" Muriel said.

"You have to take him, we need new elves and your Fiona has expressed and interest in having them." Percy said.

"Aunt" Muriel scowled at them, the new laws that protected house elves were barbaric! Why letting them choose who they mated and a seven year contract with their families was unheard of! They were animals, useful animals but not people, Charlie had gone too far! Yes Fiona worked far harder now and her home showed that but it still was not right! Yes this protected house elves from dark families but she still hated the law.

"And he agreed to my elf?" Aunt Muriel said.

"Yes, he will work hard for you, and you will have little elves, well you wont see them for a long time but yes, when they are ten they will be fully grown and ready to bond with a house." Percy said taking a bite of a little sandwich and sipping his tea, "Fiona my dear little house elf, these are amazing!"

"Thank you sir!" Fiona said bowing.

The two brothers stayed for a time and left when their great aunt had calmed down. Then they took the floo back to Hogwarts (Charlie was to see Bill as he worked on removing several curses on the school) and walked to the classroom to see Bill sitting talking to Ginny. Harry was there with Ron and Hermione, Charlie walked into the classroom and felt a peaceful feeling wash over him.

"So it is done?" Charlie asked.

"Yes it is, how did aunt Muriel take it?" Bill asked.

"She is in shock, and Kreacher will report back to me." Charlie said.

"Oi get your feet off that desk Potter!" Percy said.

"Make me." Harry said, "I broke my leg remember?"

"I am head boy."

"I am lord Potter." Harry said a smile at his lips.

"I out rank you, I am older and wiser."

"Uglier too." Harry said ducking fast when Charlie came over and loomed over him.

"I am a little kid, you can't hit a little kid!" Harry half-whined. "I'll tell mum!"

"And I will tell her you are being a rude brat." Charlie said.

"Ouch, you win, but I do need to keep my leg up." Harry said, "stupid Dementors, if not for you and professor Lupin, well they are gone now."

While Harry's first two years were uneventful this one had not been. He had been given his fathers map and Peter Pettigrew had been found. The twins had thought it just a fluke of the map, after all they had tricked it themselves (Harry still was not sure how they did that) so paid that name no mind. Until Harry pointed it out and they went to investigate the Gryffindor dorm room. On finding nothing they went to find professor McGonagall, and she found Pettigrew. Dumbledore called Fudge who came with Dementors, while Harry was practicing Quidditch. Harry had fallen, shattered his femur, Pettigrew was carted off, confessed and Sirius Black was released from Azkaban, given a trial and turned over to the custody of Charlie, and that was all one month ago.

"You are fine now, get your legs off the table." Percy said, "I am head boy."

"You mean big head boy?" Harry said.

"Oh good one pup! But that was rude, he earned the title now apologize." Remus Lupin said, holding the leash of a big black wolfhound, "and he is lord Prewett now?"

"Yes Percy Prewett, such a lovely ring to it." Bill said, "we need a picture of the look on dear aunt Muriel's face."

Harry watched the dog strain at the lead dragging Remus to him. This was not a dog but his godfather, though he still liked to be in dog form much of the time. He was coming along but he still had been damaged by Azkaban which was why he was in the custody of the head of his house. Harry pet him and scratched behind his ears getting Padfoot to grin and sit down by him with his tongue hanging out.

"She will not be causing any more problems, I hope." Percy said, "it's why I waited until this year, I am of age, even if I do not have my NEWTs yet, that is not required for this. I passed the tests, that is all that goblins care about."

"Harry became lord Potter when he was a baby." Ron said, "but that was because he is the last Potter, and dad asked me to become a retainer for house Potter."

"And it is why everything has happened the way it did." Percy said.

Harry grinned, took out some chocolate and shared it with Remus. Sirius turned human and begged for some in a very doggy way. Harry laughed and handed over the jar of chocolate watching his godfather take a large handful and much away at it.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

So yes, dear aunt Muriel just lost all her power. Percy waited until he was old enough to take the title of lord Prewett (it's just a tile that all old families can have in this story) so that she can't challenge it. But her wings have been clipped for now.

Do review please!

Omake:

Harry had a headache, at it was the writer's fault! He was going to have words with her that was for sure and so it was he walked to where she was reading yet another volume of War and Peace (it's a super long book that takes up several volumes). She put the large book down and looked up at him.

"You skipped a large portion there." Harry said.

"Yes, well much of what happened my readers have read, the multiverse, I wanted to cover what changed, the chamber was opened, not by Ginny but it was opened."

"Yes, Lockhart did it." Harry said, "kind of, he is in trouble now."

"And Sirius was found innocent in the shack, oh that part was different, but Buckbeak, the time-turner and Hermione taking too many classes happened." The writer said.

"I wish I could give you bunny ears." Harry said.

"You can't, muggle remember?"

"But you know all about us!"

"Multiverse!"

Harry sighed and had a seat, he was not going to win this round, but perhaps, perhaps there was a writer out there writing about the writer? He was going to have research this more. At least the writer gave him sweets, and was nice, some times. He left, as he needed to borrow a bowling ball to get out his frustrations, it still liked to swear at him but as it had never had a nose, it was a perfect bowling ball.

"So why do the Weasley children call their grandmother aunt Muriel?" Harry asked.

"Not my idea, ask Ron." Harry said, "I am going bowling, you want to come?"
