"Your money has been successfully transferred, Lord Potter-Black." Irongut said. "All of your gold and items have been moved into the Black Vault per your request. Just sign here."

Harry smirked as he signed on the dotted line with the blood quill Irongut provided him. Only Irongut and Harry knew that he was also Lord Black, and after hearing the plot against him to marry Ginny Weasley, Harry had to take extraordinary steps in order to survive. He and Irongut went over the marriage contract with a fine tooth comb. It stated that Harry James Potter would marry Ginerva Molly Weasley. There was no way out of it for him, by the design of Dumbledore and Molly Weasley. He would have to marry Ginny.

The thing about the Wizarding world, however, is that each title is a separate person. And this specific contract was created in 1991, just before Harry went to Hogwarts. When Harry gained the title of Lord Black, Dumbledore couldn't change the Marriage contract because it needed Harry's signature, since he was an adult. Even though Harry didn't know that, Dumbledore did. Dumbledore knew he couldn't get the Black fortune even if Harry perished. They were two separate identities. And Harry used that to his advantage.

The contract between Harry and Ginny, however, was ironclad. Harry and Ginny would marry. The Weasleys would have to pay for the wedding, and Harry would have to provide a house for them to live in. With the gold he left in the vault, he had Godric's Hallow refitted and fixed up. Ginny would be allowed in the wards, but no one else. He planned to make Ginerva's life a living hell. The contract stipulated that Ginerva must be a virgin. He highly doubted that would happen. The spell would be performed by the goblins, and the bride price would drop for every incident of infidelity to the marriage contract. Harry did not have to be a virgin, nor did he have to be faithful. Since he was male, and marriage contracts favored the male, he couldn't help but laugh at the audacity of Dumbledore using a standard contact made for purebloods.

The bad thing about the contract is that Harry could not break it. Only Ginerva could. Her family would initially get 20,000 galleons, which is four times the normal amount. Ever incident of infidelity during the enforcement period, from 1991 until the day they got married, would subtract 100 galleons. Given the number of times Ginny was caught with other boys, the Weasleys would end up owing Harry money.

Harry smirked as he looked at the balance in the Potter family vault. Twenty thousand galleons, just enough to cover the bride price should Ginerva prove to be a virgin. The stipened for the Order of Merlin was 200 galleons a month, just enough to live on for two people. It was half of what Mr. Weasley made a month, so Harry knew if Mr. Weasley could feed seven children on 400 a month, then he could feed himself and Ginerva on 200.

"Harry dear, you are going to help with the wedding, aren't you?" Molly asked.

"I'll do what I physically can, Molly." Harry replied, smiling. Hermione and Ron looked at their best friend in shock.

"Oh no, dear. We don't need help that way. We need some money."

"I'm sorry, Molly. But the contract states that the Weasleys pay for the wedding. Not the groom. I'm afraid I cannot help you, as I would not wish to be in breach of contract. Besides, the only thing in the Potter vaults currently is the 20,000 galleons you get as a bride price once the marriage is consummated, unless of course Ginny doesn't prove to be a virgin." Everyone looked at Harry in shock. "What? I read that contract over carefully. I do not want to breach it accidentally."

"Harry, you have to help!" Hermione said. "They can't afford this extravagant wedding!"

"That's their problem, Hermione. Not mine. Maybe Ginerva should learn self control. All we really need is a minister, witnesses and possibly family."

"But you're rich!" Ron shouted.

"Where did you get that idea?" Harry asked.

"I've seen your trust vault!" Ron said.

"Yes, in second year. I've paid for five more years worth of fees and books, plus renovations on Godric's Hallow where we're going to live. Whatever was left, paid for my portion of the damages to Gringotts during the break-in."

"What do you mean your portion?" Hermione asked.

"The goblins feel that since I wasn't the only one who broke in, I wouldn't be the only one responsible for damages. You and Ron will have to pay your share also." Harry shrugged. "My portion of the damages pretty much wiped out everything. Depsite whatever you heard Ronald, Harry Potter is no longer rich." Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Molly Weasley paling.

"But how will you live?" Molly asked shakily.

"Mr. Weasley housed and fed seven children on 400 galleons a month salary. I get 200 a month from the Order of Merlin stipened. That should be plenty to feed myself and Ginerva."

"But the contract…"

"States that I have to provide the lifestyle that she is accustomed to. The Weasley family, forgive me, is very poor, so anything more than 400 a month would be above her accustomed lifestyle. In fact, even 200 a month is above her current accustomed lifestyle, but I'm sure it wouldn't be too much of a burden."

"But Harry…" Hermione cried. "We can't afford to pay back the goblins…"

"Sorry, but I can't do anything about that. You'll just have to get jobs like every one else. The 100 galleons you two get for the Order of Merlin second class will go directly to the damages until it's paid off… in about ten years. Goblins figure you each owe them about 12,000 galleons." Both Ron and Hermione paled.

"What about what Sirius left you?"

"He left me Grimmauld Place. Whatever else he left me went to Teddy." That wasn't completely true. Sirius' personal vault, which had fifty thousand galleons and change went to Teddy. The Black Family Vault, however…

"Excuse me. I have to speak to Ginny." Molly said, excusing herself. Harry knew that Molly was going to inform Ginny that Harry was now poor. That, or call the Goblins to confirm.

"What do you mean he's poor? I can't stay poor!" Ginny yelled. Had it not been for the silencing charms, the whole house would have heard Ginny's screaming.

"I confirmed it with Irongut. Harry Potter's vault only has 20,000 galleons in it, and that will go to us when you've consummated the marriage."

"I can't marry a poor man!"

"Albus ensured that only you could break the contract, Ginny. But only if he couldn't keep you in the lifestyle that you're accustomed to. And since you've grown up poor…"

"What can be done?"

"The only thing that could possibly work is the infidelity clause. Unless you've been unfaithful to the contract, then there's nothing you can do."

"Miss Weasley, before you can marry my client, we have to perform the ritual of infidelity. This will determine the final bride price." Irongut said. Ginny paled. Harry was smirking, much to the surprise of the rest of the Weasley family. Hermione looked curiously at Harry. "What this spell does is confirm how many times you have kissed another boy or girl, had sexual relations, and anything else that the contract would consider infidelity."

"WHAT?" Molly shouted.

"Did you not read the contract before you signed it, Madame? The female must be pure in every way." Molly paled more, as did Ginny. Irongut waved his hand over Ginny and a parchment began writing. "Oh dear. Lord Potter, I do believe you should see this."

"What is it, Irongut?" Harry asked, as he was handed the parchment when it was finished. "Oh my. What are the consequences?"

"Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, your daughter is not pure. At all." Irongut stated. Ron looked as though he was about to burst a blood vessel. Ginny looked as though she was going to faint. "Due to the number of times, there will be no bride price paid to the Weasley family. In fact, due to the nature of the contract, you owe Mr. Potter 10,300 galleons."

"WHAT?" Ever Weasley in the room shouted.

"The contract states that the female must be pure in all aspects. This includes kissing, groping, touching of private parts, sexual stimulation, oral sex, vaginal sex, anal sex and masturbation. According to these records, not including the time she spent with Lord Potter, which would not show up on here due to the nature of the spell, your daughter has violated this contract a total of 253 times. Therefore a 5,000 galleon fine has been added, and you owe Lord Potter 10,300 galleons. This must be paid before the vows take place."

"We… we cannot afford that." Arthur Weasley stated.

"Then you are in breach of contract, and you, Mrs. Molly Weasley, and Miss Ginerva Weasley will not only lose your magic, but enter into indentured servitude to the Potter family until said debt is paid off." Irongut said.

"Harry! You can't!" Hermione said.

"Unfortunately, Lord Potter has no choice. He is bound to the contract as well. He cannot terminate the contract, and only Miss Weasley could."

"How?" Arthur asked.

"By forfeiting her magic willfully. After all, the contract does say Ginerva must be magical." Irongut said.

"That's no choice!" Ginny snapped.

"Wait, Irongut. Didn't I read in the Contract that Ginerva can void the contract by declaring herself unfit for marriage? Something about not being able to provide a family or something like that?" Harry asked. Internally, both Harry and Irongut were laughing.

"There is such a clause, Lord Potter. Section Ten, Subsection 1 states that if Ginerva swears on her magic that she cannot provide the family that Lord Potter desires, then she can remove herself from this contract without penalty. But you have to tell her exactly how many children you want and when you want them." Harry's eyes widened.

"So say I wanted ten children in ten years, and she couldn't provide that, that would give her the ability to remove herself from this contract? How is that right?"

"It was the way that the \contract was written, Lord Potter."

"I do want a child a year. At least…" Ginny paled. Harry turned towards Ginny. "Ginny, do you want out of this contract?"

"Ye-yes." Ginny said.

"Ginerva Molly Weasley, I require you to birth a minimum of one child a year for twenty years. Are you able to perform this requirement?" Harry asked. A faint glow of magic surrounded the contract.

"I, Ginerva Molly Weasley, state on my magic, that I am unable to perform the requirement requested of Lord Potter during our marriage. So I speak it, so mote it be." Harry watched as the contract burned up.

"The contract is now null and void. The Weasley family does not owe Lord Potter 10,300 galleons." Irongut stated officially. Harry and Irongut could see the relief on the faces of Arthur and Molly. Harry smirked.

"It's obvious that Molly and Dumbledore attempted to trap me into a loveless marriage." Harry began.

"I love you Harry!" Ginny snapped.

"But I do not love you. And you only love the rich and famous boy-who-lived. You see Ginerva, your mother planned this all out, thinking that I would be her ticket to riches. But when Irongut told her the Potter Vault was empty save for the bride price…"

"How did you know that?" Molly snapped. Arthur looked at Molly questioningly.

"I told him to tell you the true balance of the Potter Vaults." Harry shrugged. "You really think the Goblins would give out client information without permission?" Irongut sniggered. "So, I set all of this up. You see Molly, I don't want to marry Ginerva. I read that contract very carefully, and the clause that states that I must provide a lifestyle that she is accustomed to… that phrase stuck out to me like a sore thumb. Should she marry me, her lifestyle would have drastically changed. And I do not want to be in breach of a magical contract. So, I moved all of my money out of the Potter Vaults."

"But Harry, you said you were broke." Hermione said.

"Hermione… what were my exact words?" Harry asked of his best friend.

"You said you were broke!" Hermione repeated.

"No, Hermione. I said that Harry Potter was broke." Harry grinned. Irongut grinned too.

"That's the same thing!"

"No, actually, it's not. What's my name, Hermione?"

"Harry James Potter." Hermione replied, as if answering questions were ingrained in her.

"Half marks, Hermione. Sirius left me Grimmauld Place… also known as Black Manor. The Manor can only be left to…"

"The current Lord of the Family… which means you're also Lord Black." Bill said.

"Right in one Bill… so what does that mean?"

"Two separate identities. You're Lord Potter, and Lord Black. You would have to take another wife for the Black line, and if you used a marriage contract, have to keep her in the lifestyle she was accustomed to."

"And since neither woman would be accustomed to sharing her husband… I would have been in breach of contract either way. So… I had to rid myself of one potential wife. Since I don't have a contract in the Black Family, that meant I had to rid myself of the contract Molly and Dumbledore signed."

"But you said you were poor!" Ginny said. Harry looked at her as if she grew a second head.

"No, I told the truth. Harry Potter is poor. However…"

"Harry Black is the richest wizard in the world." Irongut laughed.

"And now that I don't have to worry about this contract any longer, Irongut, would you do me the pleasure and reverse everything we had done?"

"Of course, Lord Potter."

"What did you do?" Bill asked.

"I transferred every knut save the bride price to the Black Vaults. Had Ginerva gone through with the marriage, she would have no access to the Black vaults, and the Potter vaults were empty. She would live in the lifestyle she was accustomed to… large family with very little money. Since this is the last time I will be seeing Ginerva, and quite possibly Ron and the rest of your family, I figured you should know that you got out-manipulated. This is what following that old fool Dumbledore got you."

"Harry, I can swear on my life and magic that I had nothing to do with this contract." Bill and Charlie said together. Fleur, who had remained quiet, looked at both men.

"I didn't know either. Does this mean you are available to marry Gabrielle?" Fleur smirked, and Harry paled. "I am kidding. She would rather have you as her big brother." Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Potter, while I knew about the contract, there was nothing I could do to warn you or tell you. I was under a binding silencing oath from Dumbledore." Arthur said sadly. Molly was fuming.

"I know. I found Dumbledore's journal after he died. Only Molly, Percy, Ron and Ginny knew of it and planned for it. So I made plans of my own. Since Dumbledore was not my real magical guardian, he somehow got me to sign the contract when I was at Hogwarts. That's how it was made legal binding. I cannot say for certain if he confounded me, or just tricked me into signing it, but now that it's gone, I don't have to worry about it, and you don't have to worry about going to Azkaban for attempted line theft. Know this though, after today, I will never step foot in the Burrow again. George, Bill, Charlie and Fleur are always welcome at the New Potter Manor." Harry said. He looked at Irongut and nodded. Both disappeared by way of portkey.
