Hey, again. This is still going. Though if anyone has any good idea, please feel free to message me with some. It might make the story had in a more solid direction. I thank you all for your patience in this on going struggle :-)


There was a silence as Harry looked around the room at all the serious faces.

"See...No Nose." He said with a smile as he removed the memory from the pensieve.

Realising he needed to change the subject, Harry continued with the original conversation.

"But getting back on track, I've decided to take after my new adopted father." Harry said, once again gaining the attention. "I wont be living my live seriously. I'll be living it Siriusly."

There was a pause as Remus slapped his hand to his face. "Now there's two of them."

Talking over the laughter Remus caused, Sirius looked directly at Harry. "You'll find my way of life much more fun." He said with a wink.

Harry just looked towards Katie who blushed before turning back to Sirius. "It's only been a couple of days but I'm having the time of my life."

The only event that occurred was the day before the return to Hogwats. Harry was confused at what he had done to deserve the silent treatment, he walked into the kitchen to see Sirius talking to a smartly dressed woman he recognised but could remember from where.

"Morning." He greeted as he walked towards the fridge to make some breakfast, before he suddenly found himself in a chair on the table.

"Sorry Dobby." Harry apologised with a grin, as Sirius and the woman turned to him.

"Morning pup."

"Good morning, Lord Potter-Black." The woman started, "I am Amelia Bones. Current Regent for the Most Ancient and Noble House of Bones and Head of the DMLE. I believe you know my niece?"

Harry thought for a moment before beautiful your girl with long red hair entered his memory.

"Susan?!" Harry asked, "She's not..."

"I'm afraid she is." Amelia said sadly. "He parents were killed not long before yours."

"Oh." Was all Harry said, suddenly feeling very guilty and selfish.

"Don't worry about it Harry." Amelia said kindly, sitting opposite him, with Sirius sitting down next to her. "It is widely known in the wizarding world, so it doesn't get mentioned much."

"Oh." Harry repeated, as he breakfast approached in front of him.

Amelia just smiled before continuing. "Susan is Lady Bones, However, we keep it quiet as an under-age witch would not gain much respect among the rest of the wizengamot."

"I thought the Most Ancient and Noble Houses controlled a majority?" Harry asked.

"They do." Sirius answered. "When they work together. If all 5 vote for the same thing, then it will be passed without objection."

"If 4 out of the five vote for one law then it can only be stopped if the entire wizengamot voted against it, including the fifth house." Amelia finished.

"So if me, Sirius, Susan and Neville's Grandmother voted on one thing." Harry begun. "Then it can only be stopped if the Greengrasses voted against it?" He asked, not wanting to make a fool out of himself.

"Correct." Amelia said. "However, Lord Longbottom would be doing the voting." Amelia said with a smile.

"Neville?!" Harry asked, shocked for a moment.

"Yup." Sirius answered.

"Hang on a second." Harry said as he sat up in his seat. "Are you both telling me, that myself, 2 of my friends and my adopted father control the majority of the wizengamot?"

"Indeed." Amelia said with a smile. "This friendship may be vital in the war against Voldermort."

Harry froze for a moment. "You believe he's back? And you said his name?" Harry asked, thrown off by her.

"Of course, to both of those questions." She answered with a straight face "However, I must leave to finish picking up Susan's things from Diagon Alley."

"If you wait we'll come with you?" Sirius offered. "Pup needs some more owl treats."

"And some dress robes." Harry added. "Didn't have time last time."

Sirius grinned as he and Amelia turned back to Harry.

"Er...Me and Katie got distracted?" He tried, grinning once he realised what he just said. At that moment, a large barn owl swooped into the room, before offering Sirius a letter before leaving.

"Actually, could we meet you there?" Sirius said to Amelia as he finished reading the letter.

"Half an hour outside Gringotts." Amelia said as she nodded to them and left.

"Sirius?" Harry asked, worry beginning to rise up in his stomach.

"I've got some bad news pup." He said with a sigh. "Or good news, depending how you look at it."

"Huh?" Harry asked as Sirius looked up from the letter.

"I'm sorry about this, Harry. I really am."

"You're starting to worry me Sirius." Harry said, not liking this conversation.

"This is the results of my full medical after Azcaban. And it turns out I can't have any children."

Harry's face fell, but he waited for Sirius to continue.

"Everything works... If you know what I mean... But I can't get someone pregnant." Sirius explained.

"I thought you would enjoy that." Harry teased, trying to lighten the mood.

"Oh, I will." Sirius replied with a grin. "That's the good news." Sirius face fell. "The bad news involves you."

"This can't be good." Harry said with a small grin.

"To put it bluntly." Sirius started, "You must have a second wife by the time both of us die, or the full Black estate will go to the next in line."

"Which is..." Harry asked, holding is his shock.

"The Malfoys."

"It would be, wouldn't it?" Harry said blandly. "What about one wife? Can't she be the Lady Potter and Black?"

"Nope." Sirius said. "One title only for witches."

"What about if I have two sons?" Harry asked.

"Again, No can do." Sirius answered. "All the children that come from the Lady Potter must have the surname Potter."

"What about me though?" Harry asked. "I'm both Potter and Black."

"Lily was never the Lady Potter." Sirius explained. "Your Grandfather outlived your dad. He never became Lord Potter."

"So I have to have two wives or Malfoy will become the new Lord Black?"

"In a nutshell, Yes." Sirius said sadly. "I'm sorry pup."

"Meh." Harry said happily with a shrug of his shoulders. "When do I ever do things the easy way?"

Sirius climbed to his feet and with a clap of his hands, a smile appeared on his lips.

"Go get ready and we'll be out of here."


Ten minutes and a hilarious floo trip later, Harry and Sirius approached the steps of Gringotts.

"I hate floo travel." Harry mumbled as Sirius started laughing,

"You'll get used to it."

"People have been saying that for years." Harry replied. "I still end up on my face."

"Harry!" A voice called out from behind him, causing him to turn his head back and walk straight into someone, flooring them both.

"Ok, that hurt." Harry said as he climbed to his feet and offered his hand to the girl he hand knocked over.

"Watch where you're going you..." The girl started but froze when she saw who was standing in front of her.

"Lord Potter-Black." She said with a low bow. "I apologise."

"Hehe." Harry giggled, causing the girl to look up.

"I can see down your top when you bow like that." He replied with a grin as Sirius fell back laughing.

The girl stood up and crossed her arms in a huff, but her face was bright red.

"I made the Ice Queen blush. I made the Ice Queen blush," Harry started chanting as he started a victory dance.

Daphne Greengrass just scowled, glaring at Harry until their attention was drawn away.

"Harry!"

"Ok." Harry said seriously. "Did you hear that?" He asked Daphne.

"Hear what?" she replied, looking innocent.

Harry just glared.

"Harry!"

Spinning around to have a look, Harry was suddenly assaulted by a blur, flooring him and landing heavily on him.

"What the?"

"Well answer a woman next time!" Katie scolded, still sitting on him.

"Oh, quiet you." Harry said with a half-hearted glare at the giggling Daphne.

"You probably deserved that." Katie pointed out with a beaming grin as she climbed off Harry and walked over to Daphne.

"He did." Daphne agreed with a nod, watching Harry slowly climb to his feet, grumbling to himself.

"What was that Potter?" Daphne asked with fake sweetness.

"I said you're all insane." Harry replied, crossing his arms and huffing.

"What are you?" Katie asked, "Five?"

"Who's side are you on?" Harry replied, scandalised.

"Whoevers against you…" Katie replied, nodding towards Daphne.

"Oh this is going to be a long year." Harry replied, shaking his head.

"Your –"

"Hello Harry." A voice form behind interrupted Katie's reply.

"Ahh!" Harry screamed as he jumped and spun round, to see a beaming Susan Bones.

"Don't do that!" He half shouted, his hand on his heart, gasping for breath.

Susan just beamed and walked over to stand with Daphne and Katie.

"Oh god. Now there's three of you…" Harry sighed. "Oh Woe is me!"

The girls just grinned at him.

"Alright." Daphne said, bringing the groups attention, "Places to go… things to buy."

"Us too!" Harry announced with a big smile, bouncing over to the girls

"I do." Susan replied, as Katie shook her head.

"Your not going to leave me alone…. Are you?" Daphne asked rhetorically to Harry.

"Nope." Her replied happily, popping the 'p'.

"I only need a couple books, which I can call in when we pass." Daphne announced as she started to move towards Gringotts.

"I need to go to leave this place and go to normal London." Harry said, continuing his walk to Gringotts and not noticing the girls had stopped and gaped at him.

"Normal London?" Daphne asked in a strained voice, her anger clearly being kept in check.

Harry stopped and turned, locking eyes with Daphne. Slowly walking towards her, he spoke.

"How many Magical folk are there in the UK?" He asked, his eyes not moving from hers.

"Around thirty thousand." Daphne replied, holding her own and keeping he eyes on his.

"There are more than sixty three million non-magical folk in the UK." Harry replied, pausing to take in the shocked look on Daphne's face. "We are defiantly the anomaly in the population.

"How can there be that many?" Daphne asked as Harry took a step back. Her eyes looking over her three friends.

"Have you ever been in the normal world?" Harry asked, looking over at the other two as well.

"I live in it." Katie replied.

"Only the once." Susan replied. "My Auntie had to stop over at Newcastle for a few hours on an assignment."

Daphne just shook her head.

"Well." Harry said happily. "Let's get some cash and show you both the town."

Giggle like a little girl, Harry started to skip towards the steps of the bank. Shaking their heads, the girls followed him, at a more graceful pace.


By the time they had caught up to him, Harry was in discussion with one of the Goblin managers, right in the middle of the bank.

"…would be easier." Harry was saying, "Not that I don't love coming in here every day, it would just save us both so much time that could be sped on much more promising ventures."

"You speak sense, Master Potter." The goblin replied. "A rare trait for a wizard."

Harry nodded, "Wisdom is not one of the gifts of the magical community."

"Hey!" Daphne and Susan replied feeling slightly insulted.

"To business?" Harry asked the Goblin, ignoring his offended friends.

The goblin lead Harry over to one of the free teller stands, before taking the key off Harry and placing it on top a folder that bore a big 'P'.

"Harry?" Susan asked, as the girls again caught up to him. "What are you doing?"

"Your card, Master Potter." The Goblin said before Harry could reply. "What are your plans for Wizarding purchases?"

"I plan to make a limited number of Wizard themed purchases, my friend." Harry replied, "I shall rely on your expertise when those times arise." The Goblin nodded politely, as Harry turned to wait at the back while the girls took out their money.

"What was that about Harry? Susan asked, "A card?"

"For normal buys." Harry replied, "It's used massively by the rest of the world."

"What did you mean by limited wizard transactions?" Daphne asked, as they stared heading out the bank.

"I have found a new rule in the book." Harry said with a grin. "Found it during the research for the tournament last year."

"What rule?" Katie asked.

Harry grinned as he reached the bottom of the stairs and turned around to face his friends.

"You don't need to wear robes." He answered with a beaming grin.

"What do you mean you don't need to wear robes?" Katie asked, stopping at the bottom of the stairs to Gringotts.

"What else would you wear?" Susan asked, glancing at Daphne who looked equally confused.

Harry shrugged, failing to hide his grin.

"Just says smart wear. Muggle clothes are allowed, as long as they bore your house crest." He looked around towards the exit of Diagon Alley, The Leaky Couldron. "I have some ideas."

The girls glanced at each other.

"Erm, Harry?" Katie asked, "Have you had anyone look over these idea? You know….To make sure they're safe?"

"Relaaaaax!" Harry replied with an unconcerned look and a wave of his hand. "Whats the worst that can happen?"

"Don't say that!" Susan said tiredly. Harry just beamed and winked at her, before leading the way across the Alley.

The group managed to make their way to the Leaky Couldron without much incident. Daphne stopped for some books, and a few people whispered loudly about Harry being a lying so and so, which Harry just smiled widely and waved like a little child. But over all, they managed to make it to the exit of the Alley in one piece.


(Meanwhile, back at the other side of the Alley)

"Harry?" Sirius asked, looking around in a circle. "Where you at kiddo?" He sighed. "Leave him alone for 5 minutes…"


"Ahhh!"

"Wha?!" Harry asked, spinning around to see Katie holding a terrified Daphne.

He locked eyes with Katie, watching her reacting as Daphne froze every time a car came near them.

"I thought only the really rich had those '….Auto….mo…biles….'" Daphne asked, looking over at Harry, who just raised an eyebrow in return. "There… are…. so many!"

"Really?" Harry asked, "Where'd you hear that?"

"Yeah," Katie chipped in. "My family have two."

"Muggle studies…." Daphne said slowly after a moment. Her shock at being informed wrongly over coming her fear. "We were told most Muggles walk or use horses."

Harry and Katie shared a look. Is the wizarding world that far behind? Have they been that confident that they are better than muggles for so long they've stopped even taking notice of them?...Harry smirked, arrogance can be such a hindrance.

"er… yeah." Harry said, walking over to place a hand on Daphne's shoulder. "It hasn't been as you describe for decades."

"Since after the War at least." Katie added.

"My Auntie keeps trying to tell the Minister we can learn loads from the muggles." Susan piped up, "But he wont have any of it."

"Wizards….." Harry grumbled, shaking his head. There was a pause, before Harry's beaning smile returned and he reached for Dahpne's hand, ignoring her look of anger, "Lets go!" He announced, starting to pull her with him as he ran.

"Potter!" Daphne screeched, pulling back hard on her hand.

"What?" Harry asked, turning around with a fake pout.

Daphne just stared at their conjoined hands. Harry looked down at their hands, then back up to her face. Daphne raised an eyebrow.

"Fine!" Harry said with exasperation.

Daphne just nodded and folder her arms, frowning a Harry as she watched him grab Susan's hand and began to lead them into town. She kept standing there, until she saw Katie, a few feel behind Harry and Susan, turn and wave for her to follow. Sighing to herself, she started after them.

"Where are we going?" Susan asked, still being led by Harry's hand. Harry abruptly stopped. They were standing on a quiet street, not far from the main shops in London.

"I don't know." He said with a confused look, "I was following Daphne."

Daphne didn't even respond. She just looked up at Susan.

"You said you needed stuff?"

"Yeah." Susan replied slowly, quickly glancing at Harry, her cheeks reddening.

"What you need?" Katie asked with a small grin. The grin widening when Susan glared at her.

Pulling her hand out of Harry's, she mumbled a reply.

"Underwear."

Harry's head shot up.

"Huh? What?"

"Thanks…." Susan grumbled at Katie and a smirking Daphne.

"Underwear shopping?" Harry asked, grinning stupidly.

"No." Daphne said, pointing at Harry like a child.

"Bad Harry."

Harry pouted

"You stay here while Susan gets new bras."

Harry's head perked up and his eyes focused on her breasts.

"My eyes are up here, Harry." Susan said impatiently.

"They have made their choice." Harry replied immediately.

"I hate you." Susan said simply, looking at Daphne who was sporting an even bigger grin.

"Are you going to help?" Susan asked Katie, who was sitting back watching in amusement.

"I would, but mine don't really compare to yours." She replied, giving hers a gentle squeeze and a wink, her eyes staying locked with Susan's.

Harry quickly snapped his head around, to look at Katie's breasts. He kept his eyes locked on them for a few moments before spinning he head around to look again at Susan's. His head moved back and forth a few times until he settled on looking at Katie's chest. He brought one of his hands up and gave one of her breast a quick squeeze, before quickly spinning around and doing the same to Susan, bringing a gasp out of the girl.

Standing up straight, Harry looked around at the three girls around him.

"Katie's are firmer, but Susan's are bigger." He finished with a nod and a big smile.

Daphne just shook her head. "Potter. You stay here." Harry nodded. "Us three will go get Susan new bras." He nodded again.

The girls started walking down the street. Glancing back to make sure Harry wasn't following them. But Harry stayed still, the same smile plastered on his face until they turned the corner. Once they were out of sight, his grin doubled in size.


"Sirius!" Harry boomed. "It's show time!" He finished, thrusting his arm in the air.

"…Sirius?" Harry brought his arm down and slowly looked around him. "Now where did he get to?"


"Sirius!" Harry shouted, walking into the Leaky Cauldron.

"Yes?" Sirius asked, finishing a mouthful of Butterbear.

"Aha! Its you!"

"Yes."

"Where have you been?"

"Where have you been?

"Good question."

"Finished?"

"Yes."

"Ready to go?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"Yes."

Sirius nodded. "Let's move,"


(30 minutes later)

"You know what the difference is between you and me?"

Sirius looked over to Harry, watching pull a pair of black sunglasses out of his breast pocket in his new suit.

"I make this look good."

Sirius copied him, bringing out his sunglasses. There was a pause, as both Harry and Sirius posed, savouring the moment.

"Thank you, for your purchase." The tailor's voice interrupted them, "You won't believe how many people do that." He nodded to the sunglasses, "Ever since we started offering free sunglasses with each suit!"

"Thank you." Sirius nodded to the man, as he pulled of his glasses sliding them back in his suit. Harry nodded and smiled as he followed his adoptive father out the building.

"Isn't that Katie?" Sirius asked, pointing across the road once Harry had joined him on the street.

"Why, yes it is." Harry agreed with a small smile. As they looked, the girls noticed them and started to walk over the road towards them.

"What are you wearing?" Daphne asked with a chuckle as they approached.

"I like it." Katie said with an approving tone in her voice as she reached and felt the material of the suit. "Real quality too."

"My new Hogwarts uniform." He announced, to the shock of the others.

There was a pause until Katie let out a big laugh.

"Ha! This is going to be awesome!"
