A/N Thought I combine two chapters for you for a bit of light reading.
Chapter 13 A Black Mass?
Sirius stood smiling at the chaos he had caused at what he saw as a prank well done. He was interrupted by the stern voice of his godson.
"Lord Black, congratulations on your freedom and I am glad to have you as my guest here at Hogwarts." Harry said with the look of mischief in his eyes.
"Thank you for having me, Lord Slytherin." He said with a polite bow.
"Lord Black I would like to discuss business with you after breakfast and after my meeting with King Ragnarok."
"I would be delighted to Lord Slytherin."
"I Lord Slytherin, hereby cancel all classes for the day due to the display and loss of Lord Malfoy."
Dumbledore had had enough of Harry being off a leash and he needed to rein him in.
"Now Harry my boy, only I, the Headmaster, can cancel classes and I am afraid I can't do that." Dumbledore said in a grandfatherly tone.
"First I do not recall giving you permission to call me Harry. Second as Lord Slytherin I can in fact cancel classes for a good cause such as the display we had this morning. Hell I could close the school if I so chose and there is not a damn thing you could do to stop me."
" " Dumbledore was cut off before he could finish his sentence.
"That is Lord Potter or as he is currently acting as head of House Slytherin, Lord Slytherin or do you wish to continue to insult the person who invited me into his home, Albus?" Ragnarok said hand resting on the handle of an ax.
Albus sat back down in a huff.
Daphne came over with a couple sandwiches wrapped in a napkin.
Harry nodded before gesturing to Ragnarok to follow him to an empty room.
Abandoned classroom few minutes later
With a wave of Harry's wand the room sealed itself from any spying. With a sigh he spoke to Reggie.
"I am under the impression that you are here to notify me that I am Lord of all my house's."
"That is correct Harry. I also brought the lordship rings with me so that you could put them on and I could bring the heirship rings back with me."
"Guess that means we need to move things forward sooner than originally planned because you have to make the announcement to the Prophet. Is there any way you can delay until tomorrow for the announcement?"
Reggie rubs his chin for a moment in thought before he gives a toothy smirk.
"I am afraid Lord Potter that the announcement to your accession to Lordship must be postponed until tomorrow as House Black now has a sitting Lord that must be announced post haste."
Harry being quick to catch on went along with it.
"It is a shame that Gringotts must wait to give me the honor that my Houses are due but it is understandable that they must also honor House Black after all that has happened to Lord Black."
"I am thankful for your understanding, Lord Potter."
They smirked at each other for a moment before getting on with business. After exchanging heir rings for lord rings their business was concluded.
"On your way out King Ragnarok would you be kind enough to send in Lord Black?"
"Of course Lord Potter. May your gold always flow."
"May your blade never dull."
As the goblin left, Harry turned to look out a window gazing out towards the Forbidden Forest. He could see all the different students congregating outside enjoying their free day. A cough brought his attention back to the present.
"Ah Lord Black it is good to see you."
Sirius arched an eyebrow before replying.
"It is good to see you, Lord?" Sirius asked not sure what lordship he was addressing.
"Lord Peverell."
There was a bone chilling cold that swept through the room and a little girl appeared standing next to Harry.
Sirius snapped to attention he could feel the call to his magic, one he had not felt since taking his animagus form. The dog of the underworld, Death's attack dog. The Grim.
"My Lord Peverell, what can your attack dog do for you?"
"Your first priority is to reclaim your house as it stands. Your house is in tatters and a war is coming. I have evidence that Voldemort is not dead. The idiot made an unknown amount of horcruxes."
Sirius let out a deep throaty growl at the word horcrux.
"I will get to it immediately, my Lord. Is there anything else I can do?"
"If you would get the door, Hel says we have guests."
Sirius opened the door to see a blond girl dragging several people with her. He stepped aside politely gesturing them in before closing the door.
The blond girl rushed past Sirius stopping in front of Harry where she curtsied before speaking.
"Lord Peverell, I have gathered those that are here that are loyal to you."
"I don't think we have been introduced."
"I forgot my manners. I am Heiress Luna Lovegood or as House Peverell knows my House as Le Fay."
"Too bad House Prewett was wiped out or we would have the entirety of the Black Mass." Amelia said sadly.
The words barely left her mouth when the room filled with fog and a skiff appeared. A person in a black cloak dropped down from it. The figure removed their hood to show Molly standing proudly. With a wave of her hand the fog dissipated.
"There is still one Prewett left alive, Bones." Molly said with pride.
Harry had a grin on his face. Standing before him was a group that hadn't gathered together since before the last Peverell and yet they answered all the same.
"All those with assignments report."
"I have been trying to dig into Whisker's past but I am running into a lot of red tape. I have also learned that the Queen of England is also a descendant of the Peverells through a squib branch and is fully ready to support you in anything you need." Amelia stated.
"Whiskers has reached out to me and asked to meet me at Hogshead for lunch. I believe he is hoping that I will assist him with watching you." Molly reported.
With a nod Harry spoke.
"Amelia you should speak with Zadist, he should be able to help get you through the red tape. Molly I do believe you are right and he's going to spin it as him helping you so that you will feel indebted to him. That works perfectly for us. I need to also ask that you be ready to ferry members of House Black back to the pack and do so without bias.
Ms. Black your work with House Malfoy was well done. It will be interesting to see how he deals with it when he comes back from his vacation. Susan we will be doing a lot of training both physical and magical going forward. Luna I am guessing you have the Le Fay madness where you see snippets of the future and can see into the realm of the Fay? Anything you can tell me would be of great help but I understand if telling me could change the outcome."
Harry looked at each person receiving a nod.
"If there is nothing else, get to your assigned task." Harry said dismissing them.
Luna turned to Molly with a dreamy smile before declaring. " If your young seek you out, listen to them you may find you're not as alone as you think." She then proceeded to skip out of the room.
Molly had a sad smile before she disappeared into the fog taking Luna's words with her.
Sirius transformed into the grim and took off.
Amila hugged her niece before going to find Zadist and getting to work on her task.
Susan looked at Harry who hugged Hel good bye before she disappeared with a giggle.
"If you could get Seth for me and meet me in the Room of Requirements. Seth can tell you how to find it." Harry said with a smile to Susan.
Grimmauld Place London
Sirius slammed the front door shut after entering causing what sounded like his mother to start yelling.
Making his way further down the hall of his childhood home he saw his mother's portrait was the source of the yelling.
"YOU!" She yelled.
"Me and if you know what's good for you, you will practice being a silent portrait or I'll burn you off the wall."
"You think filth like yourself can do anything here. I banished you from the family, you're lucky that you can even walk in here."
"Speaking you didn't have the power to banish me as grandad made me his heir making me the new Lord Black. I can and will turn this house to ash if it means being rid of you." Sirius said while flashing the Lord ring.
Walburga knew that as Lord Black he could absolutely carry out his threat. She did the only thing she could and nodded her head in understanding.
With that Sirius continued on.
"Kreacher."
With a pop and old hunched over and feeble nasty looking house elf appeared muttering under his breath.
"You will get this house ready to receive the pack and you will start in the den with absolute haste if you can't do that then you will find a house elf that can. Am I clear?"
"Yes filthy master." Kreacher said before popping off.
With a sigh Sirius made his way to the den where he lit the fireplace and moved furniture so he had a clear spot for what was to come.
A few minutes later Sirius wiped his brow of sweat before he admired his work. With a satisfied nod he moved so that he had open space in front of him. Standing tall with his shoulders back, the hand with the lord ring resting on his chest and the other behind his back. He took a deep breath before speaking.
"I Sirius Orion Black the III Lord of House Black, the grim of grims call the lost back to the pack. Heed my call all attack dogs of Death or become the hunted. Your Alpha calls you home!"
With a slash through the air a pack of grims departed and in the distance their howls could be heard as they searched for their targets.
Chapter 14
A Pack Gathers and a Pissed Off Lion
Somewhere in a Flat in London
Tonks had just gotten up at a reasonable ten in the morning. She was due to meet her boss Amelia Bones at the ministry by noon.
She had just finished getting dressed and was throwing on her Aurors robes when she heard what sounded like claws on the hardwood floor. She drew her wand and burst out into the hallway hoping to catch whatever it was by surprise. She leveled her wand upon the creature and froze at the sight. Four massive black as night dogs with red glowing eyes stared back at her. She locked eyes with the lead dog and its red eyes seemed to stare into her soul. After what felt like hours but was more like a few minutes a deep voice spoke in her head.
Do you heed the call or do we drag you to the underworld?
Tonks didn't like the sound of that but knew there was only one answer with a chance of survival.
"I shall heed the call." She answered out loud with barely a tremble in her voice.
With the words spoken a fog seemed to fill the apartment and then she was gone.
Elsewhere in England
A lady sat on a couch sipping on tea while reading the morning edition of the Daily Prophet when she heard a noise come from the kitchen.
"Did you forget something Teddy?" She called out, never looking up.
With no answer being given and the wards not being tripped she let out a sigh before calling out.
"Nymphadora, if you wanted food you could have at least asked." She said with huff and stood up.
She turned towards the kitchen and stopped short. She saw four Grims standing there looking at her. She called upon all the courage she could muster before speaking.
"I was casted out of the House of Black so why do you come for me, dogs of the underworld?"
A feminine voice spoke in her head.
Do you heed the call or do we drag you to the underworld?
"I may not be a Black any more but I shall heed the call nonetheless."
Fog came fourth and swallowed her whole.
Azkaban, Somewhere in the North sea
In a cell in the high security ward sat a ragged woman curled up in a corner rocking back and forth. She was shivering due to the unnatural cold of the prison. The woman was none other than Bellatrix Lestrange.
Bellatrix was deep in thought like she had been since she felt a change in her mind. No longer was there a voice telling her to do cruel things. No longer was it telling her what to do or how to act. Sadly though she remembered every act she committed under its command. She had tried fighting it but it caused her so much pain just for it to do it anyway. Now though she was free of it and could finally think for herself once again.
She was brought out of her thoughts when a dementor began its pass on her cell. The dementor stopped when a howl pierced through the prison. A growl was heard from the end of the hallway. Bellatrix noticed she was not feeling the effects of the dementor that stood outside her cell. She crept closer and closer until she was pressed against the bars of her cell. She tried to see what was at the end of the hall. All she saw was red glowing eyes and they were moving towards her.
A dementor that was in their path was taken down by a pair of glowing eyes. It tried to get away but its fight was in vain as sharp teeth sank into it. The dementor turns to dust leaving nothing but its tattered cloak behind. The eyes continued moving towards her, dispatching dementors as they moved. The one in front of her cell seemed to sense its doom and began to flee only for a grim to charge it down and killed it.
Bellatrix's eyes grew wide on seeing the grim, patron animal of House Black. The pack had stopped in front of her cell and looked at her as if analyzing her to her very core.
Without hesitation Bellatrix spoke to the grims.
"I will heed the call but I have no way to escape this place. Please don't leave me here alone anymore." Bellatrix pleaded with the grim with tears in her eyes.
A grim pushed to the front this one was different then the rest. Its fur had grayed with age, eyes glowed orange, and one of its ears appeared to be torn. The grim seemed to blur for a moment before a female took its place. With shaggy black hair with streaks of gray, skin of ivory and a pair of orange glowing eyes. She appeared to be in her mid thirties; she wore a black leather vest worn with age and matching pants; her feet were bare and moved with a dancer's precision. Her hand of smooth leather reached out and cupped the face of a weeping Bellatrix.
"All will be better Bella. No more will you be used and discarded. No more will you be alone. The Lord of Death summons his allies and the Attack Dogs of Death answer. The House of the Grim has called and we do not leave our pack behind."
Bellatrix cried as she reached out and hugged the woman in front of her. Eyes blurry with tears she never saw the fog that swallowed her.
Death Valley U.S.A.
In a hobbled together shack in the middle of a desert slept a man. With a black unkempt hair with a long shaggy beard to match. With a jerk he sat bolt upright wand in hand. He knew something was coming after years of hiding. It was a matter of time before he was found but was it friend or foe. At this point he doubted it was a friend that last one of those he had obliviated their memories of him being alive. So who or better yet what was coming. Jumping out of bed in the only clothes he had left he prepared to fight. He would be damned if they took him alive.
With a steading breath he stepped out into the cold desert night. Even with the moon and stars it was still pitch black. With a wave of his wand he lit up the area and saw dozens of grims with their glowing eyes looking at him. A whisper of a memory played in his head.
If the grim comes calling for you it is best to answer its call for refusal means your damnation.
He locked eyes with the grim at the front and asked but one question.
"Do you come calling for me?"
We do.
"Then I will of course heed your call."
Fog came rolling in and the man saw a skiff riding it like a slow moving river before stopping in front of him. The cloaked person on the skiff reached out a hand and gestured for him to board.
He made his choice and he was going to stick with it. With one last deep breath he boarded the skiff and disappeared into the fog.
RoR Hogwarts 11am
Harry was going over plans for the unknown first task which was more of general outlines for a wide range of things. Susan was staring at Luna who had just showed up with Daphne about ten minutes after they arrived.
Luna was dancing through spell fire from a group of training dummies. Some of them she was dodging by mere inches. She would then dispatch a dummy with complete ease.
Daphne finally broke her silent watch of Luna with a question.
"How is she doing that? It's as if she knows where to be and when to be there."
"The Le Fay madness." Harry said, barely looking up from a sheet of parchment. " It's a misnomer really. Those with it can see snippets of the future normally but when they themselves are under threat they can see how to say it… they see their deaths and or injuries allowing them to react to change that outcome. In exchange for meddling with the outcome those with it tend to seem off is the polite way to say it. I will say if I had to experience my own death that many times I would probably have gone insane."
Daphne just stared at Harry. In the last hour she had learned so many secrets about him including that he was Lord Peverell that this news was barely a footnote.
Harry by this point was taking a break from all the planning, and began going through his business ledgers. When he noticed something. He snapped his head up, his eyes wide.
"The idiot wouldn't." He muttered out. "Luna I need you to find Zadist and I figured you will find him the fastest. Daphne do you know anyone who deals in supplying food for magical creatures?"
"Mmkay." Luna replied, skipping out of the room.
"I know a few. Why?" Daphne asked, slightly confused.
"See if they have received any unusually large orders of meat recently or if they have orders pending."
"On it." Daphne said getting up and heading out at this point she knew it was better to do and be filled in once she had the information.
Hogwarts kitchen
"Excuse me, can I get a bowl of pudding? I feel I'm about to have company." Zadist asked a passing elf.
A few minutes later he was stepping back out into the hallway. He saw a blond-haired girl looking at him with glossy eyes.
"Lord Zadist, your fire looks beautiful." The girl said dreamily.
"Hello little hatchling I would recommend you not admire it for too long but I thank you nonetheless little Le Fay. I believe this pudding is meant for you." Zadist smiled sweetly at the girl offering the bowl of pudding to her.
"Thank you. Harry sent me to find you; he seems to have stumbled on something that the minister was trying to keep hidden." Luna said, digging into the pudding.
30 minutes later RoR
"The people I talked to are making inquiries with their parents but one I talked to said they remembered their father complaining about a massive short notice order he received but didn't know what the order was." Daphne said with a sigh.
"Zadist, can I ask you to reach out to Ragnarok and see if another request was made?" Harry asked.
Zadist was looking at the parchment Harry had seen a request put in at a dragon reserve his family owned in Romania.
"I will indeed talk to him about it. I will also find out how many treaties Fudge has broken so far as well and send an inquisitor to find out why they agreed to it." Zadist said, handing the parchment back to Harry.
"What does a dragon reserve have to do with Fudge and the meat orders I was checking into?" Daphne asked slightly lost.
"Fudge put in a request. I can't tell for what but it's odd he put in for it right before the tournament was announced. Assuming it is connected then the first task will be dragons and by figuring out how much meat was ordered we can tell what to expect. Whether they are full grown or still growing. Let's hope they are not nesting mothers otherwise even a normally docile species will be vicious and a pain to deal with." Harry explained.
"They expect students to fight dragon's! Are they stupid?" Susan said.
"The logic is sound on your part Harry and with Fudge's track record highly possible he would do something that stupid." Zadist said in thought.
"I want to make sure that all our bases are covered. No doubt that if something goes wrong Fudge will lay the blame on the Sacred Lands." Harry said, rubbing his temples.
"I'll let my aunt know so she can try and get ahead of it and hopefully nail Fudge to the wall with it." Susan said pulling out a dairy to do just that.
"I'll get Ragnarok to send some goblin warders. I'll also deploy some of the third legion to assist since they specialize in putting up and dismantling wards." Zadist said, making for the exit.
Harry nodded as he leaned back in his chair in thought.
11a.m. Grimmauld Place
"Siri, what's taking so long? I thought they would be here by now." Narcissa asked, becoming impatient.
Right as Sirius was about to answer the room filled with fog and shapes started taking form. Once the forms became solid the fog disappeared. Four people and a grim stood in front him with Narcissa standing off to the side. Sirius began speaking while taking in the group.
"The House of Black has been called to arms once more and you have heeded the call." Whatever else he was about to say died in his mouth as his eyes fell on the last person in the group.
"Regulus you're alive but how? Our information said Voldemort hunted you down and killed you." Sirius said almost not believing what he was seeing.
"I found out Voldemort had made a horcrux when he used Kreacher to test his defenses and I had Kreacher bring me to the location. I switched it out for a fake and should have died if not for Kreacher. When I regained my health I glamored my portrait on the tapestry and had Kreacher bring me to the states where I then obliviated him and made him think I died that night." Regulus said with a sad sigh.
"I am glad you're still alive Reg! Now then back to why I called the pack. Lord Peverell is preparing for a coming war and has gathered the Black Mass. I was to gather the pack and rebuild The House. We will be gathering Intel on known Death Eaters and begin crippling them before the war starts. First part of this will be taking our seat on the Wizardmont. Andromeda I want you representing us there as you are our best choice. If I tried to do it they would claim I was not competent due to my years in Azkaban. Bella, Reg your task is to start hitting known Death Eater owned businesses where you can, whether that's by computation, buyout or more direct action. I will be keeping a close eye on Hogwarts as Harry is my godson and heir of the House and Albus has too much interest in him. I will also be keeping an eye on the bigger picture and will let you know more when I do. Get to it!" Sirius dismissed the ones gathered before him with a slash of his hand.
When it was just Narcissa and Tonks left he let out a sigh now came the hard part.
"Narcissa I need you to talk to Guthook and go through any business that we own and decide what to keep and what to get rid of. Also go through the vaults and see what can be used for the upcoming conflict."
Narcissa nodded her head and made her way towards the front door.
"Tonks I know Amelia is going to ask you to investigate everything that has and is currently happening at Hogwarts. Meaning you will be spending a lot of time at Hogwarts. I need you to help keep as much of an eye on Harry as much as you can. What I am about to tell you does not leave this room. It is considered a family matter, am I clear?" Sirius said, arching an eyebrow at her.
"Yes Lord Black." Tonks answered, hair turning to brown at the seriousness of the circumstances.
"Harry Potter is our Lord Peverell. We are his attack dogs. Someone attacks him, you drag their ass to the underworld. You are his first and last line of defense before you are an Auror. You can tell that to Amelia from House Black."
"Understood Lord Black."
"Now get going, you have a meeting to get to." Sirius said with a smile
"Shit your right!" Tonks said, running towards the front door so she could apparate to the ministry.
Director Bones Office Ministry of Magic 12:05 p.m.
The office door burst open depositing a pink haired Auror on the floor. With a sigh Amelia waved her wand causing the door to close and strong privacy wards to activate.
"Auror Tonks you are late. Care to explain?" Amelia asked, taking a seat behind her desk.
Tonks stood brushing herself off before standing at attention and answering the question.
"Black family business ma'am." Tonks answered.
"Well then the reason I called you here is because I need a trustworthy person to investigate the goings-on at Hogwarts past and present including a Basilisk two years ago. You will also be looking into Dumbledore to the best of your abilities. I need you to start with how Lord Potter's name was entered into the goblet of fire when he was in the hospital wing under observation. You are to report your findings to myself or the representative of the Sacred Lands one Lord Zadist. Any questions?"
" No questions ma'am but I do have to tell you that as Lord Potter is also the heir of House Black I have been ordered to be his attack dog if needed…ma'am."
Amelia raised a single eyebrow at her choice of wording. She obviously didn't know who else was in the know. Sirius must have forgotten to tell her or is playing a prank. Knowing Sirius it was the latter. Who was she to spoil a prank.
"Also while you are at Hogwarts keep an ear out. I have been informed that there is a new Lord Peverell and I would like to know who it is before it hits the papers. Rather avoid someone trying to assassinate him."
"Yes ma'am if I hear anything you will be the first to know."
"Assure that I am Auror Tonks. Now you need to get to Hogwarts and report to Inquisitor Nemo. Now get going." Amelia said while covering a smirk with her clasped hands.
"Yes ma'am." Tonks said with a salute and hurried out of the office.
Hogwarts Just outside the Great Hall
After being dragged back to the Slytherin common room just in time to walk up to the Great Hall by Daphne who explained that it was an unspoken rule that the snakes would go to breakfast and dinner as one. It was to show the house was united. Whether that was true or not was a different matter. Harry found himself at the front of the silver and green leading the way, Daphne close behind.
This brought him where he was now, getting ready to enter the great hall for dinner as he was about to enter the great hall he was stopped by the same seventh year boy who he couldn't be bothered to remember his name. Said boy was keeping him from entering and was putting the rest of Slytherin on edge.
"Potter!"
"That's Lord Potter.I thought we had been over this Draco." Harry said looking at the seventh year.
"I'm not Malfoy you arrogant…"
"Could have fooled me with the whole Potter thing. He is the only one who tends to call me that."
"Whatever, it won't matter much longer." The boy said, shoving a scroll into Harry's hands.
Harry opened it and began reading before letting out what sounded like a defeated sigh.
"I see you got Professor Trelawney to sign off on it. Well it's official I now have a motion to be dehoused from Gryffindor."
"It's not a motion Potter. You are officially kicked out of Gryffindor."
Harry laughed. It was all he could do. It was enough to gather the other houses around to see what was going on. It drew the interest of the visitors and some of the Professors.
"Well that is where you are wrong. You see most of the time when someone gets dehoused they don't realize they can do something about it. For instance they can bring it to someone in higher authority to have it repealed." Harry was interrupted by none other than Dumbledore.
"I as Headmaster will not be over ruling the dehousing. Your house has spoken and you need to accept that ." Albus said smugly.
"First of all it's Lord Potter to you, you antique. Second you were not one of the people I was talking about as the Headmaster you have minimum authority over the houses and before you imply Professor Mcgonagall her role as deputy headmistress keeps her from doing anything in this matter. No, the person I am talking about is Lord Gryffindor. If he is unable there is another that can pass judgment but I warn you if I go that route and it finds me still worthy of Gryffindor it will then pass judgment on everyone who signed this parchment and decide if they are worthy of Gryffindor or if punishment is to be dealt out. I also warn that whatever it decides is final no one can overrule it. So I ask you one last time: are you sure you want to do this?"
"Nothing is stopping this Potter.I will remove a disgrace like you out of this house if it's the last thing I do."
"I tried. Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington as the Gryffindor House ghost I require your presence for this."
"I am here Lord Potter. How can I assist you?" Nic asked, floating through the seventh year boy who startled at this.
"The majority of House Gryffindor wish to cast me out of said house. I wish to call on the judgment of House Gryffindor to pass final judgment."
"I as the house ghost of Gryffindor give you my blessing to call upon the House to cast final judgment, Lord Potter."
"Thank you Sir Nicholas." Harry said, giving the ghost a polite bow.
Harry turned to walk to the center of the entrance hall. Slytherin House parted for him. When he reached the center of the carving of the Hogwarts coat of arms he turned facing the great hall raising the arm holding the scroll be for speaking.
"I Lord Harry James Potter call upon Gryffindor House to cast judgment on the dehousing of myself. I find this dehousing to be unjust and done by cowards to cover their own weaknesses. I call upon you the Lion of Gryffindor."
For a moment it appeared like nothing was happening but a faint red and gold light was growing brighter by the second. The portion of the Hogwarts coat of arms that represented Gryffindor lit up in red and gold before going dark. A split second later a roar could be heard in the distance and the sound of thunder getting closer. Suddenly a golden blur came barreling from the direction of Gryffindor tower coming to stop in front of Harry. It was a giant golden lion that stood taller than Hagrid and showed more pride than the French guest. It locked eyes with Harry and for several long minutes nothing happened and then the scroll in Harry's hand began to turn to ash and a deep voice rang through the entire castle.
"Lord Harry James Potter I find you worthy of the title of Lord Gryffindor. I also find this dehousing absurd and there is no justification for it. Lord Gryffindor has stood against adversity from the entire school. He has fought things that would make Godric run in fear and you cowards dare cast him from his home because he doesn't conform to your ideals. I hereby exile all those that signed from all houses until such time they have truly shown the characteristics of one of the four houses until such time you are banished from the great hall and will receive bare minimum of support from this castle. Begone from my site cowards!" The lion roared the last part and all those that had signed the scroll were gone from the great hall.
The lion turned back to Harry and bowed before him before speaking.
"Lord Gryffindor I ask that you fix the tumor that has appeared in the house of the brave as soon as you can."
Before Harry could reply another voice spoke out.
"I assssk you do the ssssame in Sssslytherin." A green and silver snake had said poking its head out of the mane of the lion.
" I will do all I can to fix the houses to the best of my abilities." Harry said with a bow to the snake and lion.
A/N Sorry for the delay on posting work has been a nightmare. Hope you enjoyed and once again don't own duh.
