Thank you all for the reviews.

Harry Potter is not mine this is a story from a fan.

(BSC 5 C50) C178 Let's get things straight.

Umbridge was looking from Zanita to Fudge. It was at that point she taught back to the day before earlier that morning.

Flashback.

Albus was sitting in his office at the ministry. Today he would take back the seats of Longbottom and Potter. "As you all know we will be going to Hogwarts to have our own Witangemot meeting right there in the great hall. It is there we will place James and Frank back in their seats and back into the Light. When we do that, we can immediately restore the balance of the Witenagemot. Meaning that the Dark and light can rule once again. James had the idea to do it at Hogwarts and I'm all for it". It was then that Albus asked for James and Frank to leave them alone for a moment. When James and frank had stepped out Albus turned to Umbridge and Fudge. Lucius was still there but that didn't bother him at all. "Now as far as I have seen it it will be easy to get our seats back. Still, knowing those kids it could all go downhill and it could go down fast. So if that happens we might have to go all the way, meaning". It was at that time Albus turned to Umbridge and Fudge. "If that happens you might have to fire me at the spot. It is then you can also fire Minerva and run the school by yourself. I will be on the outside helping but it will look like our friendship is over".

"But Albus" Fudge started. "If we kick you out what will that do for us and you"?

Albus gave him that knowing smile that told them he knew it all, but that was a complete lie. "At this point, they don't like us. By throwing me out, I might come back in their circle and take it from there".

End Flashback.

Umbridge gave that sadistic smile as she taught about the meeting from the day before. The kicking out of Albus felt sweet but the reaction when she tried to kick out Minerva didn't sit well with her. "We at the ministry".

"I don't care about the ministry," Zanita told her. "This is Hogwarts and if you want to keep on teaching here you take this deal, or get out". Umbridge lost the sadistic smile as she looked at Fudge for a reaction. "You are free to go outside to talk it over but be ready to leave with all the students". The moment Zanita had said it she could hear a lot of students starting to talk. So she turned to look at all the students around her. "It will be their choice to teach here or not. It will be your choice to go with them. Now I can't promise we can teach you for the rest of the year but we will be ready next year".

Fudge and Umbridge were still talking with each other but didn't know what to do or how to teach the students if they would take them away. The other thing they didn't know had been the Wireless. All over England, People were listening to the things that were happening at Hogwarts. Most of the parents didn't like what they heard and were afraid that Fudge and Umbridge were taking their kids away. Some were ready to get up and rush to Hogwarts to keep them there. So when they listened on and were glad when they heard the next things. "Alright we will stay till the end of the year and the ministry will get things straighten out for next year," Fudge said.

Zanita had a little smile and looked over at Harry. he then looked at Bogrod before he looked back. So he nodded and Zanita knew what she could do. "That is your right and we will see it and hope you the best. However, after this year, Hogwarts will reopen its doors as an independent school of Wizard".

Hogwarts is our school name" Umbridge screamed.

"Well, that is fine because we will be Hogwarts university for every student meaning Wizard, witch, Goblin or whatever. We will teach everyone for less than half of what the ministry is asking".

At Potter castle, there were a lot of people listening to the wireless at the same time. Some did it at the home of the werewolves or at a campsite. some in the houses that were built for the family but were now used by the guests. Veela's were listening at their spa that was closed for the Witangemot session. Even the house-elves were listening in the kitchens. It was this that sold a lot of people that were listening to the wireless.

"Would he also teach Veela's?" One of the Veela nurses who were in the known of Bellatrix had to ask her.

"No, he will not," Arabella said making everyone look at her. "He will hire other people for doing it first. He will also hire Veela's to help him teaching them their way. You are all different and yes, the friends want everyone to learn in the school but they also know everyone is different. So by teaching them the same thing they make it easier to teach some other ways too. Meaning Goblins, Veela's and Houselves for example can get hours to teach their own way. That could be lessons for other races to join in. That way Goblins could learn about Veela Healing and Veela about Goblin Healing".

"Can we learn the secret about your scar cream? "Apolline asked.

"No, I will sick Bellatrix on you if you ask it again" Arabella snapped with a smile as wide as her face, while Bellatrix was slowly pulling her wand.

Apolline looked at Bellatrix who just smiled wickedly at her. "What she is my mum, I have to protect her". Apolline opened her mouth but Bellatrix stopped her. "Yes she is Bella's mum but that makes her my mum too". Apolline placed both of her hands in the air as surrender and knew when she had lost a battle and just smiled, as the others started to laugh around her.

Back at Hogwarts things were slowing down as Umbridge and Fudge were about to walk away. "Where are you two going," Susan asked? Both of them turned back and were thinking of saying something when Susan had to push the knife a little deeper so to say. "You know, we still have a wedding for one of your best supporters and most upstanding scumbag of the Wizarding world one Lucius Malfoy".

Umbridge was angered by it, but Susan just smiled as she walked away before she could react. Umbridge pointed at Susan and then looked at Fudge for help. Fudge like always didn't know what to say or to do and just looked the other way.

As Molly was still waiting in the middle of the great hall Draco was brought in by his father. The first thing Lucius wanted to do was to make a run for it but he was stopped by a couple of Goblin guards. It was their contract and they wanted to have all of them handled the way it was supposed to be handled.

As Draco was placed next to Molly David was called by Lucius to stand next to them. The first thing Lucius asked was if David would honour the deal they made. David wanted to nod but Harry stepped in. "Sorry David but before you say yes let me ask a couple of things" David wanted to smile but Lucius told Harry that it was none of his business.

Harry thought a little and Lucius was right. He was Lord Potter and not Lord Greengrass. So he had no say in the contract, He also had no way to interfere in the goings of house Greengrass. "You are right Lucius I have no say in the contract but I do have a say in my house. So I want Draco and Molly to marry now so we can have dinner and give the students of Hogwarts the rest they need".

Daphne hung close to Harry as she whispered. "Harry it is two in the afternoon they don't need the rest yet".

"I know but with Albus laid off, we can't handle the rest we wanted to do. He has escaped with the help of Umbridge. Now by this way, we can't get the money back Lucius gets when Molly marries Draco. Your father is losing half of what he owns and I will not let that happen".

"But what can you do about it".

"That I do not know. I do have an idea but I have to talk to the old Battleaxe about it".

Daphne smiled and told him he better not call her that when she was with them. Harry shook his head as he rushed to go and see Augusta. He only hoped it was still as the day they took over from Sirius. He also hoped that his friends could keep the marriage on hold for as long as he was away.

While Harry rushed off Lucius was looking around for a way to get Draco out of the contract. He was talking to David and it was clear that he wanted to make a deal. David had called Bogrod to help him as Lucius told him the following. "Let's make a new contract. We will stop this and marry Draco to Astoria with only half of what you would have owed me in the last contract".

For David, it was a deal worth thinking about. So in his mind, he was almost signing, it already. The only things that stopped him were Daphne and Astoria making their way to the place he and Lucius were standing. "You are not thinking about doing it are you," Astoria asked as she stepped up next to him. David look to his side and almost jumped when he saw them. The most troubling was the fact Daphne had drawn her wand on him.

"Daphne you have to understand".

"NO, You made that contract without thinking about me and most of all, you did it while you were drunk. Now, that scumbag wants to make another deal because Harry and my friends have gotten me out of it while you could not. But the first mention of losing less money, you are ready to throw Astoria into the deal".

While Daphne was talking David was looking at all the students around him. Slowly all of them were pulling their wands and were pointing them straight at him. "Daphne I'm Lord Greengrass".

"I don't care who you are right now. I never wanted this and you just did it not thinking about your daughter. The worst is when you did it you even threw money into the deal. Now I got out with the help of my friends making Lucius losing more than he wanted. So the moment Draco is not marrying a plaything Lucius can play with, you are ready to throw your other daughter in the mix. Didn't you listen to what those Death Eaters scum will do to her when they have her"? David's eyes became big but he did not have an answer for it. "Let me make it clear, there will be no deal".

As Daphne said it Lucius spoke up. "Like the Potter brad, you also don't have a say in this. It is between the Lords of the houses".

Daphne gave a deep sigh as she gazed at Lucius. He was right and according to the law of the old ways she had no say and as a girl, she was a product for the house. So as she was thinking about it she looked over at her little sister. They all knew this part of the law and they all knew she had no ground to go against Lucius. But it would be a cold day in Hell if she would let her father sell her little sister like this. "I know I have no say in it but if he" and she pointed at her father. "Is going to do this deal none of you will be leaving here alive".

Lucius stood in all his height and gazed down at Daphne. Before he said something his eyes ran over her little body. Daphne felt his eyes and wanted to run away from them. She was surprised when Astoria stepped in front of her and smacked Lucius as hard as she could across the face. Lucius stumbled back and pulled his wand from his cane. Before he could point it his leg was kicked on the back and he went down. He dropped to his knees but still looked up. As he looked around him he saw the Muggle bitch who had kicked him. "You Mudblood" he screamed. More than that he could not say as Susan was the next one to strike him as hard as she could.

David was standing at the side and thinking about the deal he could make, but also about the things the friends would do to him. There were two who had not jumped into the mix and he was wondering where they were. On the other hand, he was glad because they were more to curse first and ask questions when you would wake up. It did make him wonder where they were because they would not only block the deal they would kill if they had to. So with them not here he had to look over his shoulder. "Lucius, I'm not sure if I want to get out of the existing deal".

Lucius had not paid any attention to what was happening to David. He had been occupied with the wands that were pointed at his head. His eyes also had found Astoria. the way he was looking at her was like he had been looking at Daphne. If he would have paid attention he would know that that look alone would have him killed by Bellatrix, Bella and Harry. When David told him that he wasn't about to get out of the deal, his head snapped over to him. "Are you telling me you are letting those little bitches talk for you"?

David didn't know how to respond to it and looked at his daughters. While he still wanted to do the deal with Lucius, their eyes told him it would be over his dead body. "Sorry Lucius but I can't make that deal. Your son has to marry Molly".

"Draco has to marry your oldest Daughter Molly Greengrass" Daphne snapped. David wanted to say something back but Daphne just shook her head. So David thought about it and told Lucius to go on. Luckily for him, Harry and Bella had missed it all because they walked back just at that time.

He did swallow as he saw Daphne rushed over to them, saying something and pointing at him. The moment Harry pulled Astoria to him with an Accio spell and pushed her behind him he knew enough. If he had done the deal he would not live to enjoy it.

As all of that was happening on the floor James, Frank and Alice were standing next to Lily and Isabella. They didn't know what was happening and only listened on. Frank and James heard how Daphne went against her Lord and wanted to help David. Alice who was raised as a pure pureblood let it go while Lily and Isabella said the one thing that made them stop. "If you help David the friends will put you down".

"They are going against the old ways," James said.

"You haven't paid any attention at all have you" Lily snapped. "The friends are running the place and the castle. they have it all in order and you either go with it or they put you down" Isabella told them.

Frank and James looked back to the floor and Frank had to put his foot in his mouth. "So you are just letting them run it all into the ground, while Harry is the leader".

Before Lily or Alice could react Frank was grabbed from behind. He was turned around and looked right into a blade of one of the Goblin guards. "You leave master and Lord alone" the Goblin screamed. Before James could help him he was grabbed by another guard. It was only when Isabella told them to let them go the Goblins listened.

As James and Frank were dropped to the floor Lily and Alice helped them up. They looked over at Isabella and just didn't know what they could say. "It is clear you have not looked around or listened to anything they have said. When we started you saw who was on the voting block of the Potters" James nodded. "My Harry didn't just order the Goblins to do his bidding. He has earned the right to be their family. He has stood in front of Bogrod when Harriet was accused. He has stood by Veela's when they were accused. He has pulled a fast one, to show there is more to a Werewolf than a murdering beast. He has shown all of us that the Wolf is only a problem for three days of the month. The vampires haven't been a real part of the process as of yet, but they want to be because they believe in the friends and their goals. So Harry took some of them in to see how they could fit in. Harry has pulled them all together as one. One of the friends have said it the best when they said. This is a family. It may be dysfunctional but it still is one big family and it works for us".

James and Frank looked at each other and were realizing the friends had done more than they ever could. And frank looked back down to the floor. "Tell us," he asked.

Isabella looked at him and then at the others of the family that had stepped around them. She didn't know what to say to it and just had to look for help. Amelia placed her hand on the shoulder of Isabella and softly pushed her aside. Isabella was glad Amelia wanted to help her and so she let her handle it from that point. "Frank, I will talk to you".

"Why not to me I'm a Potter you know" James almost yelled.

"This is why. You are still on your high horse screaming about I'm a Potter. Well, let me tell you we all know. None of us cares about it at all. You are not the boss anymore. That position has been filled by your son and he's not only running the family, but he also made it great". James sniffed and Amelia stepped up to him. She pushed a finger into his chest and started to emphasise every word she said. "Your son is the leader and the family is run by the friends that are standing on the floor. They are running it all and we follow".

"So the so-called family is nothing more".

It was a moment later Lily helped James back to his feet. Her look said it all she was as mad as hell. First James thought she was mad at Amelia who has struck him. But she wasn't, she was mad at him and so were Sirius and the others. "Your death has made you an ass James," Sirius told him as he shook his head. "While your son has gone through hell, he has made some powerful friends. He did it all on his own, on his first trip to Hogwarts. He made the friends that are standing on the floor around him. They have not only shown the people what can be done but they also pulled the Witangemot into the grey".

James looked back at the friends and knew that the Potters had always been grey. Only during the war had they sided by the light. His mum had never liked it but they had. Sirius grabbed his arm and turned him back around. "While he came from one hell into the next. He went on where Lily and Alice had stopped. He defeated Voldemort another three times. During all of that, he got me out of Azkaban. He had been working on the family while he is pulling us all and Hogwarts into the here and now. Next year there is going to be a war and we stand by him. You can do the same, if not, stand aside. If you go against him it was nice knowing you".

"But Serius, he is fighting the ministry" James went from mad to whiny in a second.

Sirius shook his head. "No, James they are not fighting the ministry. The ministry has been fighting them. They have been undermining the friends from day one. They tried to keep him away from Minerva and doing that will give you a one-way ticket down. The ministry and Albus sealed your wills knowing what was in them. They tried to keep me in Azkaban for killing you two".

"But you didn't".

"We know, the friends knew but the ministry still wanted me, dead. While Albus never told them I was innocent of that, He never got me a chance to prove my self. He just kept me there to keep me away from Harry. They stepped up and got me out. Then the ministry tried to take away the Black seats because I had been in Azkaban. Again, it were the friends that kept them from it. How we tell you later. Then there was this tournament that almost killed Harry four times in that year. While he and the friends were still saving everyone. Now we are here. Harry is saving Narcissa".

Again James wanted to react but this time Lily slapped him before he could. "Stop talking because nothing relevant is coming out" she snapped. James swallowed and rubbed his cheek as he looked back at Sirius.

"Thank you Lils," Sirius smiled before his look became serious again as he gazed back at James. "There is a lot more you and Lils do not know yet. But Narcissa is working for us. This, what is happening now, is again something of the old ways that are just wrong. Lucius had made a contract to get a little girl as a plaything for the Death Eaters. In the contract, he made a mistake and the friends used it".

"Using the Potter name" James mumbled earning another smack from Lily.

Amelia had calmed down and took it from there. "Yes, they are because it has the most impact on the community. It is not only the Potter name he is using but also the Gryfindor and the Peverell line. On top of that, he has the Hogwarts title. They were zero in the bank with that one and are now up there next to Potter. He did it together with Bogrod and everyone around them. It only took them a year". Amelia didn't tell them that the money game from thousand years of stuff that was hidden in a room at Hogwarts. "So tonight we will talk more but for now, let's get back and see what they do. Lucius wants out of it, I would too but they are not going to let him".

James wanted to say another thing but Lily stopped him before he could start and turned to the floor.

Lucius was standing next to his son and looked at Molly. He didn't know how to stop it. For a moment he thought he had it, as he said David could do the deal for half if he turned it over to Astoria. But the friends had to ruin it again and now he was looking at the Harpy he had to take to Voldemort. The only thing he thought about right now was to get out of it. So as the minister stepped up to marry the two of them Lucius looked at him and said. "Fudge, don't do it. Just tell him he has to honour the deal we had with Daphne". Fudge looked over at David and was about to say it.

"Are you sure you want to mingle into this Minister?" Harry said from the side. "Because if you do and if you can then I will also have my say. Lucius made a blood contract without checking if there was another. If he had, he would have known he could not do it. It was line theft from the first tri. Now the reason the contract was accepted, was because it was made by blood and mine wasn't".

As Fudge looked at the friends he knew there was only one thing he could do and that was to marry the two willing or not. Still, he did all he could to make it as long as he could.

While Lucius, Fudge and Harry were talking, Narcissa was talking to Daphne. She had told something Daphne told Harry in her mind. It was heard by Minerva, Bella and Zanita. They told the ones around them to pay attention because it was about to get really entertaining. So as one they all turned to Tonks who started to hand over her popcorn with a deep sigh.

It was almost to the point that Fudge had to ask if they wanted or not. So he turned to Molly and asked the question. Molly turned to Harry and gave him a dirty and defined look. Before she could say NO, Bella placed her wand into the back of David and hissed that he had to be Lord Greengrass or answer to the family.

David swallowed because with the family he knew she was talking about the friends. "Lord Greengrass order Molly" and he swallowed again.

"Molly Greengrass, You do as your Lord tells you or you are disowned".

The one thing the friends didn't know, but Bella did, was that when you are with the Lord, the Lord can order you to do it and the magic will make you do it. So while Molly wanted to say No, the sound that came out was Yes,". Molly was surprised and mad at herself because she had betrayed herself in her own mind. So now it was at the point Fudge had to ask Draco the same question but he did not. He looked at Lucius, at Narcissa. He looked at Umbridge and he was looking for Albus. Basically, he was looking everywhere but at Draco. Lucius was doing everything to not tell Draco to say yes. But as time went on he could see that Harry was starting to get mad.

Suddenly out of the blue Harry grabbed Narcissa by the neck and pushed her down to the knees at the side of him. Everyone saw it and were afraid of what he would do to her. It became even more real when he placed his wand at her temple. The one thing they didn't see was the hand of Narcissa going to the back of his leg. There she would squeeze it to tell him to hold her tighter or loosen her hold to tell him to loosen his grip. "Lucius", Harry screamed. "You either tell your son to say yes or I will take Narcissa for my slave and kill Draco at the spot. If I do that You will be the one to marry Molly because the contract will go over to you" and Harry pointed his wand to Draco.

While Lucius was looking at Harry he could see Harry squeezing the neck of Narcissa harder. She screamed out in pain while Draco looked on in horror. He had seen the followers from Voldemort be handled in the same way but for Harry to do it to his mother was even more disturbing to him. Still, there was nothing he could do because his Lord and his father had told him Harry had control over his mother. Sure he knew she was betraying Harry every time but at moments like this, they had to do like she was the one controlled. Draco only knew one thing and that was that his father had the ability to get her out of it. But when Harry said he would kill him, Draco got really scared. His eyes found the eyes of his father but they were not looking at him or his mother. No, they were looking at Molly. Draco saw the eyes of his father going over her body. The one thing he saw that none had seen was that there was no hunger in them. There was not the hunger he saw when his father looked at Daphne or the other girls of the school. The eyes of Draco became big as he saw Potter had been right. He was nothing more than a business deal to get into the nickers of a young girl. It also told him he had to marry Molly and it almost made him sick on the spot.

"Say yes Draco, do it for your mother".

Harry kept a hold on the neck of Narcissa but he had loosened his grip enormously. They all thought the same thing. Narcissa was used so he didn't have to marry Molly as he threw Draco to the Harpy. Draco didn't answer but the cutting hex on his leg from his father did make him do it. So the moment Draco answered the question he was married. Fudge had called it out and Narcissa slapped a Portkey on Molly as she rushed away with her.

The one thing Draco and Lucius didn't know was something Narcissa did. So the moment they apparated away there was a voice from the back. "This marriage is disbanded". Draco looked up with hope and Lucius with disgust. The last thing he wanted was Augusta meddling in his affairs.

Augusta stepped up to Lucius as Harry pulled Draco to his side. "You are not married to Molly" he hissed. "We did this so the contract was fulfilled and there would be no punishment on your magic or your life. We also did it to show you what your father really thinks of you, and as you can see you are nothing but a product for the name Malfoy". Draco didn't get a chance to answer as Harry pushed him out of the way.

Augusta had stepped up to Lucius and held out the Greengrass ring. As you remember I was and still am the temporary Lord of the house. They have given me that right and up until now, they have never asked it back. So you might have made the deal with David but as of two hours ago, I cancelled the contract".

Lucius looked down at the contract and had one thought and that was why had it been activated. Augusta saw him looking and had to smile at it. She placed her wand on the paper and whispered a lightning spell. The next thing everyone saw was the contract lighting up. "I'm a witch and I have magic, As you can see you are deceived and just threw your son at the wolves because you didn't want Molly. She however is no longer the daughter of Greengrass because I have also thrown her out of the family. She, however, is your problem now because she is at your house". Augusta turned around and walked away leaving Lucius and Draco gaping at her as she walked further and further away.

#*

Narcissa walked through the wards of Malfoy manor while she was pushing Molly along. As she walked into the front door she used her magic and pushed Molly all the way to the main room. Molly was slammed to the floor and Narcissa closed the door behind her. The next thing she heard was a scream so hard that it really made her smile. Molly had just come face to face with Voldemort and the scream of fear would make her giddy for a very long time. With fast steps, she rushed to her little room where she could listen to all that was happening in the room. The screams of fear turned into screams of pain as Voldemort had gone tired of her voice and cursed the hell out of her. He was, even more, hate full than he ever was. He would use the Crusiatus curse on her for only fifteen seconds and stop for five. To then start it all over again. He kept it going for an hour and she sat up as Draco and Lucius walked in.

Narcissa sat up and listened closely. The screams from Molly was still filling the air as both of them walked on. So Narcissa went from listening charm to listening charm as she followed how they got closer and closer to the room. The moment Draco walked into the room she heard for the first time Voldemort had something of a heart. He pushed Draco to the side and cursed Lucius the moment he walked in. "Why did you bring me this bitch. You know that I do not like any Weasley" Voldemort screamed.

Lucius tried to say something but he could not bring out the words. Narcissa had to laugh a little as she sat in her room. The next thing she heard was Molly screaming something at Voldemort. She could not really hear what she had said. But the words that came out of the mouth of Voldemort said it all. Molly was no more. With that, she got to her feet and walked down her tunnel behind the wards and apparated to Potter Castle. As she walked down the path she looked around herself. If you did not know any better you would only think this was one mansion. But behind it, there was so much more. She opened the door and got right in the middle of another shouting match. As she walked down the hallway she heard that it was coming from down in the cellar. She knew that that was the place Harry kept his duelling room.

"You wanted to prove yourself then proof it". Narcissa heard the words and remembered that it was the voice of James. "Stop dancing around and fire back" sounded his voice again.

"I would stop that James, He will put you down". This time it was the voice of David she heard. She stopped and tried to think about who it was James could be fighting. No, he wouldn't she thought to herself as the name of Harry went through her mind. The next thing she did was to rush down the steps and to the duelling room.

While Lucius was taking Draco back to Malfoy manor the friends were still standing in the middle of the great hall. The friends all looked at Fudge who was just looking around him. The moment he gazed at the friends he knew he had to say something but he did not know what. "Don't you think it is time to end this meeting so the students could prepare themselves for dinner?" Fudge looked at them for a moment and then rushed to the end as he almost shouted for everybody to get out. He was the first to leave and it made the friends laugh.

While the members walked out James rushed to Harry. He held up his hand the moment Harry turned around. The eyes of Harry became big but before he could have a thought he saw James fall to the ground. Harry had seen some spells rush past him so he turned to see who had done it. As he looked behind him he saw his friends standing there all with their wands drawn.

As James fell Lily turned to her mum. "What just happened".

Minerva got a sad look as she turned to her daughter. "You have learned from your memories in the painting how his life had been. You have also seen the memory of how he had locked himself in his mind. All that happened after he had a run-in with some kwack that thought he was a Professor. The way James raised his hands told them he might strike so before he could they took him out".

Lily shook her head.

This was it again for this time see you all in two weeks.
