Harry Potter & The Freedom Of Life, Politics and Life.
I do not own Harry Potter and any other property belonging to J.K Rowling and Warner Brothers, I wish I did so I could be wealthy beyond my dreams but whatever. I hope you enjoy the newest chapter.
Harry woke up from his slumber, extremely groggy from his deep sleep, He could have sworn he had the most vivid dream where he was now the Lord of four different houses… Harry chuckled to himself and slowly got out of bed, walking into the washroom and splashed his face with cold water, noticing a ring on his right hand Harry sighed, realizing his dream wasn't actually a dream. Harry sighed at how amazing magic was, he then finished his hygiene routine including a long hot shower with amazing water pressure. After a long twenty minute shower Harry stepped out, a towel wrapped around his waist and he immediately from the clothing Rocco placed on his bed.
After a few minutes after Harry got dressed, he sat down on his couch, his favourite breakfast laid on the coffee table beside the letter from yesterday. Harry quickly tore into his breakfast sandwich, devouring it quickly before he opened the letter and began reading.
"Dear Heir Potter,
My wife and I would like to thank you for rescuing our daughter in Diagon Alley today. We would like to invite you to Greengrass manor for Dinner tomorrow evening, to thank you in person. Please simply check a yes or no on the parchment and it will automatically return to us. If you choose to accept the dinner will be at a 7pm."
Cyrus Greengrass, Lord of the Ancient and most Noble house of Greengrass.
Harry reread the letter several times and decided to trust the man, he was neutral for most of the war but helped during the final battle, fighting several death eaters that night. Harry checked the yes box, and the parchment disappeared from his hands. Harry summoned the folders of the houses Slayertooth gave him and first began to read the Potter folder, placing the other three onto his coffee table. Several hours had passed and Harry placed the folder down beside the other three and was amazed at his family's history. The Potter main vault had around seven million galleons, apparently some of his ancestors had been great businessmen and creators. One of his grandparents Fleamont Potter invented a potion named Sleekeazy Hair Potion, which was one of the only potions that could help Harry and Hermione with their hair for formal events. Harry's grandmother Dorea Potter also accumulated a fortune with her medical belt design that allowed medical witches and wizards to carry several critical and most used potions with them at all times and with no fear of being swiped or stolen by patients who may have formed an addiction or would sell them on the black market, as some of the more powerful of potions could easily form an addiction if used incorrectly or to much at once. "Master Harry, Your dinner with the Greengrass family is coming up, I lays you out some nice dinner clothing sir." Rocco spoke then teleported out of his vision, Harry got up and walked into his bedroom and quickly put on the outfit, including a nice pair of dragon leather dress shoes, beige chino pants made some type of magical component and a nice white dress shirt, with a beige jacket that was kept open.
"I look quite good, that new magical clothing store in Diagon has some great clothing." Harry thought to himself as he walked to the floor, double checking his wand was equipped in his forearm wand holster, and his spare wand was in his left sock. Harry then casted the tempus charm, indicating it was ten minutes before the time set for dinner. He grabbed a small handful of floo powder and while pronouncing the Greengrass manor floo address, Harry threw down the powder and stepped into the fireplace.
"Welcome to Greengrass manor Heir Potter" A older woman's voice spoke, it had a tone of mature yet kindness to it. Harry looked at the woman at the entrance and noticed a woman resembling Daphne standing close to the fireplace, her beauty equaling a veela's naturally, a slightly older Daphne.
Daphne's Mother quickly waved her wand, getting rid of the soot and smiled at the young man, sticking out her hand and Harry grasped it, kissing the back of her hand like he had seen several lords do when he had visited the Ministry of Magic. Daphne's mother smiled that he knew a little about traditional wizarding traditions, even though it had taken him a few seconds. "Please allow me to escort you to my husband so dinner can begin." She led Harry towards the dining hall, where Lord Greengrass was sat at the helm of the table, Daphne and her younger sister Astoria sat on either side of him. Lord Greengrass gestured the seat besides his youngest, Harry slid into the chair as Daphne's mother sat at the other end of the table.
"It is a pleasure to meet you at last Heir Potter, my name is Cyrus Greengrass, and this is my lovely wife Sarah Greengrass, and of course you are familiar with Daphne, and this is my lovely youngest Astoria who is entering her fifth year at Hogwarts." Cyrus introduced his family, and Harry smiled and nodded at each person, his eye's lingering on Daphne for a little longer, Cyrus noticed this and grinned a little while sipping his wine.
"Please, just simply call me Harry. I am not accustomed to this lordship stuff, its brand new to me entirely. I was at Gringotts yesterday for five hours that had to deal with lordship paperwork, its quite exhausting honestly." Harry finished speaking hoping casualty is the way to go. "The Potter Accountant recommended I find a very good wizarding law firm so that's the next thing to do on my list." Harry finished and grasped a glass of water, taking a sip.
"Daddy runs a law firm Harry, one of the best in wizarding England in fact!" Astoria spoke for the first time, proudly stating the fact.
"if I may Harry, after dinner we can meet in my office and you can explain your situation, and I can recommend a few lawyers who would be able to help you with your legal issues if you would like?"
Harry nodded and smiled, as the food started to appear onto the table, covering every inch of the tabletop was a wide selection of foods. After a few moments and everyone's plate was full. Cyrus lightly tapped on his wine glass and stood up, looking at Harry. "I would like to propose a toast to Lord Harry James Potter, who saved my eldest daughter's life from the treacherous bastards that call themselves Death Eaters. Cheers everyone!" Everyone smiled and took a sip of their glasses, and everyone dined and chatted casually.
After dinner had concluded, Cyrus gestured for Harry for follow him upstairs to his private study. They began walking and Daphne stood up. "Father, May I join you? I am now technically employed under your company and would like to observe." Cyrus looked at Harry who shrugged, not minding another person joining. Cyrus waved her over and the three of them walked up the stairs and entered his office, which surprisingly had muggle office chairs. Cyrus blushed as Harry noticed them.
Cyrus sat down behind his desk and Daphne stood in the corner, out of the conversation but still able to listen and observe, Harry sat in one of the guest chairs and chuckled at the pureblood lord sitting in a muggle chair. "Can I call my elf here for my folders my accountant gave me? They are basic summaries." Harry asked. Cyrus nodded and Harry called Rocco and asked him to bring the folders for the bank summaries and Rocco teleported away, teleporting back pretty much instantly with several folders that were placed onto Cyrus's desk. Cyrus spent quite a bit of time going over each of the bank folders, including properties and bank vault statement.
"So, are you going back to Hogwarts for your seventh year Daphne? Harry asked to pass the time as Daphne's father was working.
"No, I am going to take my newts at the Ministry soon and work at my Fathers company. He wants to train me to eventually take over, so I have a lot to learn. The Business has been in the family for several generations now and I want to live up to expectations."
"I don't want to go back either.. to many bad memories for me. I am just going to go for my mandatory newts and do something, I am not sure yet about what I want to do." Harry replied, softly spoken.
Daphne looked at him surprised, nodding her head to his plan. Cyrus looked at Harry and breathed heavily. "Holy Merlin Harry.. this is quite shocking honestly.. you are easily the richest person in Britain right now, and the Lordships itself it also quite shocking. If I may be frank with you, I believe only my law firm or there's one in France that has the expertise to handle your business. I don't want to try and sway your favor, but I believe my firm would be best since we are local and understand the culture."
"If I may ask, how exactly can your firm help me Cyrus?" Harry asked, while looking at him.
"Well, we would be your representatives if you were to start a company, or you were involved in a legal issue with Gringotts or the Ministry. If a certain news outlet defamed you or spread misinformation we would also deal with that, if u wanted to sell some property you inherited, we can also help with that. And of course, your financial dealings we would be involved to make sure you don't get screwed." Cyrus replied to Harry.
"Well, you seem like a good person sir, and I would rather use a local English company then a French one. If you can draw up a contract sometime soon I will definitely read it over and let you know. No offence to you of course I don't want to jump in headfirst into a contract. I do have a few issues I would like to bring up as soon as the contract is signed." Harry explained, hoping not to offend Cyrus.
Cyrus Greengrass chuckled at the young man who sat before him, inside he was proud he was being so mature and serious about this new situation he found himself in. "it absolutely astounds me at how mature you are, I suppose with your childhood and the war and all.." Cyrus paused before finishing, "Take all the time you need young man, it is a big commitment and if you would like, Daphne would be able to answer any questions you may have if you have any. I know it is easier to relate to someone your own age then someone who my age. If I may ask, what issues are you thinking of so I can start researching into it, if you do sign my firm after all." Cyrus grinned almost comically, slightly getting ahead of himself but in an excited type of way.
"Well, as you may have saw. I am Lord Gryffindor and Slytherin as of now, and I would like to help set up some type of reform at the school, getting rid of the board of governors, larger school budgets and remodeling, newer brooms, that type of thing. I'd also like to harvest the Basilisk I slayed in my second year. I imagine a thousand year or something Basilisk might be worth quite a few millions.." Harry mumbled to himself. "I'd also like to take legal action against the author who wrote all those Harry Potter stories, I didn't approve of my name being used for those books… that must be illegal right?" Harry asked out loud.
"If you did not sign off on your name being used in books and products, you could very well have a case Harry." Daphne spoke, entering the conversation. "Although your magical guardian could have signed the papers allowing it, but you could argue the fact as you had no awareness of the books as you were in the non magical world."
Cyrus nodded at his daughter's words. "You are absolutely correct Daphne, the books were published I believe only a few months after who he must be named's demise." Harry chuckled at Cyrus, and he looked at the young man, confused.
"I find it hilarious that people called him that. You know he was a half blood right Cyrus? His name was Tom Riddle. He attended Hogwarts during the late 1930's and graduated in 1945." Harry revealed to Cyrus.
Cyrus and Daphne's faces were priceless, the absolute shock was very apparent as both their mouths were opened from complete shock. Harry chuckled at their expressions and waited until they recomposed themselves. "Cyrus, do you have a copy of the contract on you at the moment?" Harry asked, Cyrus shook his head, and Daphne quickly mentioned they will have a contract sent over tomorrow morning, as they are located in the law firm.
Harry casted a quick tempus, noticing how late it was Harry got up from the chair. "I should be going now, it is quite late, and I have definitely overstayed my welcome. Thank you very much for the dinner and It was very nice meeting all of you." Cyrus smiled and they all exited the office, and led Harry back towards the floo fireplace, Sarah Greengrass joining her husband and eldest daughter as they expressed goodbye as Cyrus handed him back the folders, Harry smiled and thanked everyone again before flooing back to his apartment to end his night.
Harry woke up the next morning fully rested, Harry pushed off his covers and stood up feeling a light breeze come in from an open window, Harry started walking to the bathroom to do his morning routine and shower and noticed the contract Cyrus must have sent over on his coffee table, which is now his impromptu office. Harry walked into the bathroom and showered and finished his hygiene routine before dressing in the clothes Rosco put out for him. Harry quickly dressed and sat down on his comfortable couch, picking up the contract and carefully read it, taking his time.
After roughly an hour or so, Harry asked Rosco for a quill and signed the contract. The contract was quite simple, instead of an hourly rate they would take a small percentage of claims from lawsuits, and any other income they helped gather. They had lawyers specializing in courtrooms if Harry ended up getting sued or ending up suing someone. Harry noticed a small note on surprising a sticky notepad signed from Daphne stating she was assigned by her Father that she was to look into the Harry Potter adventure series books, she was ready to send a cease and desist letter to the author and publishing company and had it all written up, all she was waiting for if Harry signed the contract. Harry noticed a small arrow pointing at the bottom of the note and flipped it over, reading how Daphne asked if he could meet her at a muggle restaurant outside of Diagon Alley. Harry grinned and asked Rocco to go give Daphne the signed contract, and to let her know he agrees to their meeting at the restaurant.
Thank you very much for reading! Please review and share with your friends and family!
