Ron Weasley had just abandoned Harry and Hermione in a fit of rage part of which was brought on by Hermione not joining him. Hermione was in tears and inconsolable when Harry said, "Hermione if you want to join him, I understand. Dumbledore didn't leave me much to work with, and you know everything I know, which I agree isn't much. I'm the one that must defeat Moldyshorts according to the prophecy not you."
"Harry, do you want me to leave?"
"Hell no Hermione why would I? Since the git is gone, and we are alone, I can tell you that I love you and have done so since our third year. I know you don't return those feelings because you love Ron, but I can't help the way I feel about you."
"I admit I have feelings for him but there is something not right about the way I feel. It's almost like a compulsion charm or the Imperiuse curse. Since he left his winter robe, he'll be back soon. It's too cold for him do without it for very long."
"I'll see if he left any food in the pockets, and then fold it up so you can store it in your purse."
Harry looked through the outer pockets first and found nothing. As he looked through the second of four inside pockets he suddenly shouted, "Shit!"
"Harry what's wrong?"
"If these two containers are what I think they are he's been feeding us Amortentia most probably in our juice. Take a look and run the contents' charm on them please." Harry answered and handed Hermione two vials.
She waved her wand over both vials and her scowl grew. Harry heard her mumble, "That bastard."
She looked up and said, "You were right the one labeled Harry is tied to Ginny, and the other is tied to Ron. Since the doses were irregular and small I think all it has managed to do is keep us interested in them. This has to be Molly's doing since Ron and Ginny don't have the skills to brew this stuff. These vials are ever filling so she has two cauldrons hid somewhere. One tied to each of the pairs she wants together."
"Let's pack up and get out of here, from now on I suggest calling him the git and not by name. Something tells me if we use his name, he can locate us."
"How?"
"I think there is more to the Deluminator than just putting out or turning on lights. It's much easier to do with a wand than to invent that thing. Dumbledore making it just to do lights doesn't seem right."
They packed and apparated away to a forest Hermione had visited with her parents.
"Hermione we need food and a trip to Gringotts for Galleons and Pounds. I'm going to call Dobby to see if he will help us. Be prepared to apparate in case Dobby is tracked, although I doubt any wizard, including Moldyshorts could do that. Dobby!"
oooOOOooo
POP !
"The great Harry Potter sir is calling Dobby, hows can I'se being of service sir?"
"Dobby is there any way a wizard can track you?"
"No Harry Potter sir, not even bad wizard can track house elves."
"If I give you a letter, and my key can you withdraw money from Gringotts for me?"
"No Harry Potter sir, Dobby must be binding to wizard to do this. Free elf and those that be giving clothes cannot be's doing business with goblins 'cause they is having no master sir."
"Crap."
"Dobby how do Goblins tell a free elf from a bound elf?"
"Mr. Harry Potter sir's Ms. Grangey free elf magic different from bound elf. Bound elf be getting magic from master and Goblins can see master's magic. Bound elf only being needing letter to being get more than ₲25 from teller or to be getting Muggle monies. Bank being habbing special area for elves so no waiting in lobby and being seen by wizards."
"Harry, somehow that makes sense in a strange way."
"I agree but it doesn't help us right now."
"Harry Potter sir if you is being binding with poor Dobby, Dobby can being doing Harry Potter sir's business and helping Harry Potter sir."
"Dobby, I can't ask you to do that, you wanted to be free. I will not take freedom from you or any being."
"Harry Potter sir is a great wizard but doesn't understanding Dobby only be wanting being free from bad master Malfoy. Dobby be working at Hoggywarty for magic not for being paid. Dobby being doing this so Dobby can be keeping magic longer. If not working at Hoggywarty Dobby is being dying by now. Dobby be dying in three maybe four years if not being bound to new master. Once magic being failing below half then Dobby being in so much pain can't bind to wizard and Dobby die. Poor Winky being dying if not being bound by new year and no one will being able to save Winky."
"Dobby, nothing I read in Hogwarts library mentions any of this."
"Miss 'Mione book be writing by wizard not elf. Most wizard not know, or care, and those that do are being raised in wizard house so it being forgot. To know 'bout elf must ask elf, if elf trust wizard elf answer otherwise elf leave."
"Dobby, do you really want bound to me?"
"Yes Harry Potter sir, if able Dobby would have bound to you when you freed poor Dobby. Wizard must do binding by asking Dobby if wanting bound unless elf born in wizard home or bought from other wizard."
"I, Harry James Potter, ask the free elf named Dobby to bind with me and my house."
"Dobby be freely accept being binding with the great Harry Potter sir and House of Potter. Dobby be swearing to serve and be keeping master's and House of Potter's secrets. So mote it be."
"So mote it be?"
Magic flared between the human and elf. Dobby grew four inches or a bit more, and stood taller than before. He seemed to be in much better shape and health.
"Dobby what happened?"
"Miss 'Mione, Mr. Harry Potter sir is being great wizard with much powerful magic. Magic adjust Dobby's body so Dobby can handle Master's magic. Old master not having much magic and young Malfoy has less. Dobby now being more powerful than two or three other elves, even more powerful than head elf at Hoggywarty. Dobby now being able to do Mr. Harry Potter sir's business with Gringotts and other merchants."
"Hermione, I know how you feel about elves, but I'm asking you to consider binding with Winky to save her life. It's obvious she doesn't want paid or freedom. You could ask her to be a friend instead, but I'm sure you would need to find some work for her to do."
"Elves being loving to working for master or mistress. Being busy is good for elf, not being working is difficult for elf."
"Dobby, if I give you money to buy you a uniform is it the same as giving you clothes."
"No Harry Potter sir, many elves being wearing house uniforms. Master must hand elf clothes to free elf. This is why there is being laundry baskets in school dorms so young masters not getting used to handing elf clothes and accidentally be's freeing elf."
"Dobby can you go to Hogwarts and ask Winky if she would be willing to bind with me. I won't have much work for her, since we don't have a house yet. Could she still work at Hogwarts while bound to me?"
"Yes Miss 'Mione, Dobby will ask Winky. Bound elf can be working at Hoggywarty but not being able to tell master's secrets."
"Dobby please go to Hogwarts and talk to Winky if she's willing bring her here. I'll write a note to Gringotts while you're gone. We need food and drink as we're out."
"Yes Harry Potter sir," Dobby said then mumbled something Harry and Hermione swore sounded like, "red-headed headed fool probably ate all the food then left, he is being no friend of Master Harry and Mistress 'Mione."
The two looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. Harry sat down and wrote a note asking for ₲75, ₴200, and ₭500 plus ₤1,000 with ten ₤50 notes, fifteen ₤20 notes, fifteen ₤10 notes, and ten ₤5 notes. Dobby returned with Winky and two shrunken boxes. One box held cold foods and drinks, the other held hot food under stasis and heating charms. Hermione and Winky mutually worked out a deal, they could both live with, and Winky was bound to Hermione. Winky grew about three inches.
"Dobby is being telling Winky, Mistress 'Mione is being great witch. Her's is needing to be great to be Master Harry Potter's sir's mate."
"What?" Harry and Hermione both asked.
"Dobby is being sorry, Dobby punish self now."
"Dobby there will be no punishment, but you must answer what you meant by Hermione being my mate."
"Dobby is thinking you is knowing Harry Potter sir, you and Mistress 'Mione is being soul bound. Dobby be seeing you and Miss 'Mione being talking without being speaking so Dobby is thinking youse being knowing you is bound by soul and magic. Is you never being kissing on lips?"
"No," both humans answered.
"Is youse being eating or drinking anything from red weasel?"
"Yes," they repled.
"Red weasel Mr. and Ms. Is being giving youse love potions to be keeping youse from binding. Red weasel being getting ₲50 a month to spy on Harry Potter sir from long beard before long beard be dying."
"Dobby, I need to add to my letter to Gringotts before you go."
"Master Harry Potter sir, Winky think it better Dobby and Winky take Master and Mistress to Gringotts in Switzerland. Head Goblin now in Geneva. London bank not being safe for Master and Mistress. Goblins seal vaults except for bad wizard followers."
oooOOOooo
Dobby and Winky quickly served lunch and packed while Harry and Hermione ate. Then the elves shrunk the tent and Hermione put it in her bag. The elves and their masters popped into the elf area of Gringotts Geneva.
"Elf why do you bring wizards here?"
"Master Goblin, this wizard is being Mr. Harry Potter sir, not being just any wizard. Mr. Harry Potter sir being needing to seeing account manager as soon as possible."
"Do you have proof you are Harry Potter young wizard?"
"I have my vault key in my pocket and my wand. But other than that and my signature nothing else, we were not issued identification at Hogwarts, and I lived in the Muggle world when not in school."
"That will not suffice I'll need seven drops of blood from your wand hand for an heir test. Miss you may want to provide the same unless you have had one before."
"I haven't, I'm Muggle born and was only in the bank to exchange Pounds for Galleons."
"You should have been advised of this your first year at school by a counselor or your head of house."
Harry and Hermione provided their hands and the cuts sealed after seven drops of blood dripped into a shallow bowl. The Goblin asked them to take a seat saying this would take up to 30 minutes. Hermione's bowl flashed then spit out a parchment, the Goblin read it and his eyes seemed to grow. Ten minutes later Harry's bowl flashed and another parchment appeared. The Goblin read it and sent a message, another Goblin arrived and the gobbledygook seemed to fly between them before the second Goblin ran from the office.
"My Lord Potter and Lady Ravenclaw I apologize for the wait. Chief Gringott will send your honor guard shortly. Master Gringott handles your accounts personally. He will explain the results of the blood tests in his office it is not my place to do so."
A twelve Goblin honor guard escorted the two wizards and elves to an extremely luxurious office where an older but taller Goblin stood.
"Lord Potter-Gryffindor, Lady Ravenclaw and guests, please be seated. I can tell by the surprised look on your faces your heritage is unknown to either of you. If you don't mind I'll start with Lady Ravenclaw since it's much simpler and faster. Please hold your questions until I finish."
"Excuse me sir but would you please call me Hermione. When you say Lady Ravenclaw, I tend to look for an older woman."
"Please call me Harry sir, for much the same reason."
"As you wish I'll concede that for now, but you must call me Gringott or chief. Hermione your magic comes from your mother's side and goes back through Rowena Ravenclaw to Morgana Le Fay and Merlin. Rowena Ravenclaw's daughter bore one son before she was killed, but he was what you might call a squib. That most probably saved his life. The line bore only sons until your mother was born. Since sons cannot inherit a matriarchal line it continued without an heir. Your mother was the first daughter born in centuries but has no magic and cannot inherit. While your mother has no magic when combined with your father's blood the magic reappeared. And quite strongly from what I can see. You may ask your questions now Lady Ravenclaw."
"I'm sorry Chief Gringott, but I'm too shocked to ask anything right now."
"Very well, then I'll continue with Lord Gryffindor. Harry your line extends up from your father to Lord Godric Gryffindor. However, your grandmother was Dorea Black making you the current Lord Black as well. On your mother's side, the line goes up to Lady Helga Hufflepuff. The Hufflepuff line is neither patriarchal nor matriarchal so either a magical man or woman can inherit. Because Lady Helga Hufflepuff had a squib daughter as an only child, and she was banished to Europe, records of the line seemed to be terminated since no one was found to be an heir. Lord Gryffindor's line continues up to Merlin's first wife who passed in childbirth. The son was born while Merlin was off with Arthur fighting, and the grandparents fled to Crete. Merlin never knew he had a son only finding his wife's grave when he returned. Lady Helga Hufflepuff's line goes up to Arthur Pendragon whose father was Uther then records become quite vague. Lord Gryffindor, do you have any questions now?"
"If I understood you, I'm related to Merlin, King Arthur, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, and Sirius Black. I'm sure there is a reason I think the other shoe is going to drop, and you'll tell me each of those you named have some sort of title, and I'll have more names than Dumbledore."
"Very astute young wizard, your last full name is indeed Potter-Black-Gryffindor-Hufflepuff-Emrys-Pendragon. The highest title is that of Prince Pendragon, the other titles are all Earls in our world and Dukes in the Muggle world. When you check your family tree, you will find you are Elizabeth II's third cousin by blood. If I were you, I would take the name Potter-Black for now since as Lord Black you can hurt the Malfoys and LeStranges financially by using their own marriage contracts against them. You can void their marriage and seize their vaults or 90 percent of vaults and properties whichever is more. In these times, I would simply seize their vaults and make them paupers."
"That sounds like a good plan. How do we do it?"
After receiving, six rings that merged into one. Chief Gringott told Harry how to dissolve the marriages then disinherit Narcissa and Bellatrix Black from the Black family. Since he was Undesirable Number One already, he didn't figure he could rise any higher on the hit list. Chief Gringott ordered the London bank closed. When Moldyshorts, the Malfoys, and LeStranges got the news, you could hear cries of "NO!" from London to Paris. Harry was in Chief Gringott office when Moldy screamed and Harry fell to his knees holding his bleeding scar. The Chief sent for his best healers and after inspecting Harry, he was informed Harry had a piece of Voldemort's soul in his head. This led to a discussion about the horcruxes where Harry was informed they could be removed by Goblin curse breakers without destroying the container. Harry informed Chief Gringott of the suspected items that were horcruxes, listing the diary, locket, ring, cup, and unknown Ravenclaw item, Nagini, and Moldyshorts. Chief Gringott had all vaults searched. Helga Hufflepuff's cup was found in the LeStrange vault, which marked their properties for seizure.
"I suspect the Ravenclaw item is at Hogwarts," Harry said.
While the curse breakers remove the small soul piece from Harry's scar Chief Gringott told Hermione that an heir could call an item to them, and it would appear. Hermione called several items, including glasses, quill, parchment, and robes before remembering reading about the diadem. When she called for it, it appeared in her hand. When the curse breakers finished with Harry, they removed the soul pieces from the locket, cup, and diadem. That left Nagini and Moldyshorts. While discussing what to do next Chief Gringott was informed the Death Eaters were having a big meeting with Moldy at Malfoy Manor.
oooOOOooo
23 December 1997, 18:10 hours
At Malfoy Manor, the dining room had been tripled in size. Elves were popping in and out with food and drinks. Nagini was slithering through the kitchen when Dobby popped in and took her head with an elf cutting charm. Telling the elves to flee Dobby popped to the dungeon and left 50 pounds of C4 in a large box filled with ball bearings then set the timer for one minute and popped away. Voldemort used his link to try to find Harry and had no success, so he tried Nagini and still had no success. As Tom Marvolo Riddle stood to apparate to his familiar, he saw a bright flash then his body was ripped apart by fast moving large ball bearings that were magically enhanced to multiply by two every one-tenth of a second.
Since Harry had packed the C4 and filled the box with ball bearings Voldemort died by his hand, and the prophecy was satisfied. Tom Riddle and 62 Death Eaters died at Malfoy Manor. The others died when their magic was drained through the dark mark as Riddle tried to keep himself from death.
"Prince Pendragon, I suggest you and Lady Ravenclaw complete your bond and prepare to take your places to lead the wizard world into the current century."
"Unh Chief how do we complete the bond?"
"Kiss the woman, for crying out loud, you're an adult and so is she."
Harry suddenly found his arms around Hermione and her lips pressed firmly against his.
"I'm not going to tell you two you could have been married at eleven and been emancipated. I just will not do that. Seven long years we've watched you two dance around each other not being able to help until you bonded or asked. Go and get a room you two, you're married now, and I need several strong drinks. How the bloody hell the boy could kill Quirrell, defeat a 63 foot one thousand-year-old basilisk, drive off over 100 dementors, win the Tri-Wiz, including defeating a Hungarian Horntail and not be able to kiss his soul mate is beyond my comprehension."
"Dobby take us to the Room of Requirements please."
"Yes Prince Harry sir."
"Dobby don't you dare start that, damn it."
"Dobby is sorry sir but Dobby is being required to be calling Prince Harry and Princess 'Mione by theys titles. Dobby must be fetching Master Merlin's staff for Prince Harry Potter sir, yes Dobby must."
Harry rolled his eyes and looked toward the heavens saying, "Why me Lord?"
oooOOOooo
Hogwarts - 24 December 1997, 06:30
Harry woke up looking into the chocolate eyes of his lovely and very naked wife. A quick mouth cleansing charm took care of morning breath as he leaned in to kiss Hermione. One kiss led to another and another, which led to exploring hands and making tender love. Harry didn't know how he knew, but he wandlessly placed contraception charms on both.
I wonder if the rings have something to do with my new knowledge and ability to do wandless magic, Harry thought.
"Harry I need to use the loo or wet the bed."
"Talk about a mood breaker Hermione that was it. Honestly, I do also but you go first, then perhaps we can shower, and I'll scrub your back and wash your hair."
"Well it looks like there are two Water Closets, so I'll get the shower ready, and you had better do a good job on my hair mister."
"No problem Hermione I'll do a good job on the top and bottom." Harry said as he fled to the loo.
Hermione giggled then went to the loo and turned on the shower. While sitting on the loo Hermione wondered, why I am not sore, we made love three times last night and once this morning. He was tender and loving to me but everything I've been told, including by Mum, indicates there should be some soreness. Also, there is the fact that Harry seems a bit larger than what Mum said most men are. She keeps up with the national and international statistics on different aspects of the human body not just dentistry. She said Dad is a bit above average in both length and diameter. Harry is bigger than what Mum described but that should have made me even more sore. Well, there are too many other things to worry about than that. Come on Harry and hurry. I want my back, front, and hair washed by your hands.
Meanwhile in the other loo Harry is thinking, damn Hermione is hot. I never thought anything that tight could feel so damn good. I wonder if she's sore, surely she would have said something this morning. Frigging Weasleys are going down, Hermione and I could have been married two years ago or even more. But there is time for that later, right now I have a lady to wash.
After their shower, where by mutual agreement, they put off making love and dressed instead. They ate the breakfast Dobby and Winky served.
"Lord Gryffindor-Hufflepuff and Lady Ravenclaw youse is being needing to take possession of Hoggywarty by recharging ward stone and establishing ownership." Dobby said.
"Dobby we don't know where the stone is located."
"Sir be asking room and room supply or tell you where you is needing to go."
After Harry asked where the ward stone was a door appeared in the Room of Requirement and led them deep into a small chamber that contained a large stone with four sets of handprints. There were letters between each set of prints indicating which prints belonged to each of the founders. Hermione placed her hands in the prints for Ravenclaw, while Harry did the same for Gryffindor. Magic passed between the wizard and stone then back, dropping the wizards to their knees.
"Damn that was draining and exhilarating," Harry stated.
"Harry you still need to do this for Hufflepuff. I wonder who the heir of Slytherin is now that Tom Riddle is dead."
"Maybe Gringott can tell us."
Harry placed his hands in the stone's Hufflepuff handprints and once again was brought to his knees. When he stood, he felt stronger.
"Harry, Tom Riddle was Slytherin's heir right?"
"Yes at least according to Dumbledore."
"You defeated him more than once correct?"
"True, Hermione what are you getting at?"
"Well we both know magic works in strange ways, so I think you may be Slytherin's heir by conquest. There seems to be a difference in being a blood heir and a magical heir. Since we're here, I think you should place your hands in Slytherin's handprints. I can't believe it could do you harm, surely over the last thousand years someone has had to recharge the wards. I believe that would be the Headmaster or Headmistress."
"If you're wrong and I get my butt thrown against the wall you get to give me a full-body massage."
"I agree." Hermione said and added to herself, I'll do that anyway.
When Harry placed his hands in Slytherin handprints, the magic flared, and the ward stone glowed dropping Harry and Hermione to their knees. A wave of magic passed through them then through the walls. The walls changed from a dull grey to a brilliant white marble. In the kitchen, the elves felt the magic and grew taller.
They smiled as the head elf stated, "Master and Mistress has returned to Hogwarts. The fortress is now restored and is impenetrable. I must be finding Master in ward stone room. You is knowing what to do so be getting busy now."
Harry was helping Hermione stand as an elf popped in the chamber.
"I is Calanon head elf of Hogwarts Master and Mistress welcome back to Hogwarts. The fortress is restored and is being secured as we speak. If Calanon may be so bold, I is suggesting you be speaking with Headmistress and staff please. Headmistress is being in her's office. Calanon can pop you there if you wish."
Two pops were heard as Dobby and Winky appeared. Dobby said with no room for negotiation, "That is being Dobby and Winky's job, since we is being bonded to Master and Mistress."
Calanon looked up at Dobby, who had grown another two inches and nodded then popped away.
"That elf being too proud, needing putting in place now and then," Dobby stated.
"Dobby you and Winky have grown again, why?"
"Mistress we being getting more magic from you and Master and Hoggywarty."
"Alright please pop us outside the door of the Headmaster's office."
oooOOOooo
Minerva McGonagall was pissed as she picked herself up from the floor behind her desk. She turned to the portrait behind her and asked, "Albus what the bloody hell just happened?"
"I'm not sure Minerva, but I suspect the Founders Heirs have recharged the ward stone and taken control of Hogwarts."
"But I can feel the wards, and they are much stronger. There is no feeling of loss of control over them."
"Minerva look at the walls and paintings, especially the older ones, everything is much cleaner and brighter. You may have some control over the wards, but I would wager it is no longer total control. Something happened last night since you were allowed in here, and could not leave. Apparently, Severus Snape is no longer recognized as Headmaster by the school and you are now Headmistress. Something must have happened since the Daily Prophet is late being delivered."
"Albus is there anyway Voldemort could now control Hogwarts?"
"I do not believe so. If he could do that he would have long ago to get at Harry."
They heard a knock at the door, and both wondered how someone got past the gargoyle that guarded the stairs.
"Enter."
Harry and Hermione strolled in and looked around then said, "Good morning professors."
"Harry you two are not safe here, when Severus and the Carrows return…"
Harry held his hand up and said, "They will not be returning unless it is as a ghost. I highly doubt the Bloody Baron will allow that. It seems last night Moldyshorts and some sixty plus of his inner circle along with Malfoy Manor were totally destroyed."
"Tom Riddle killed the rest of the Death Eaters by drawing their magic through the mark trying to save his own miserable life," continued Hermione.
"Albus Dumbledore you have much to answer for, and you will answer for everything you did to me and others. I have the means, money, power, and will to ensure that happens. The best you can hope for is to have this portrait banished to Myrtle's bathroom. I'm sure she will enjoy the company."
"Harry what I did, I did for the greater good of all."
"Dumbledork you wouldn't know the greater good if it bit you in the ass. All you did was ensure I spent 16 plus years in hell and for that you will pay. Of course, there is the matter of your theft from my trust vault and attempts to get into the family vaults. It's amazing what one finds out spending time with Chief Gringott in a time chamber going over account records and Wills in addition to getting trained in elf, goblin and wizard magics. In simple terms, you're a manipulative, controlling, bastard thief and no more than that. Phineus do you recognize me as Lord Black?"
"Of course My Lord."
"How does it feel to no longer be the worst headmaster in Hogwarts history?"
"You mean I've been replaced in that spot?"
"Yes and by Albus Dumbledork no less."
"Thank you Lord Black."
"It's actually Lord Potter-Black-Gryffindor-Hufflepuff-Emrys-Pendragon and possibly, Slytherin fits in there somewhere by magic. Everyone may call me Harry except for Dumbledork. He may call me Prince Harry or Prince Pendragon, his choice. Be assured Albus we will be having a long discussion later."
"Headmistress, I assume you felt the wards change. You still have most of your former control over them. Battle wards, however, belong only to the Founders Heirs. Pardon me wife, Minerva, please meet Princess Pendragon-Ravenclaw."
"What?"
"Seems Hermione and I are soul bonded, another bit of information Dumbledork kept from us. In fact, he did what he could to break an unbreakable bond by using the greedy assed Weasleys. All he managed to do was to put off the inevitable, and I will destroy the Weasley family, well at least Molly, Ron, and Ginny. I'm not sure about Percy, but the others don't seem to be greedy as those three." Harry continued.
"Dumbledork how does it feel to see your plans and schemes come crashing down?" asked Hermione.
"Harry you know Tom Riddle cannot be killed unless the horcruxes are destroyed first. If you're alive he is not dead but merely dismembered."
"Well let's see if we can shoot that statement in the ass love." Harry answered and placed a box on Minerva's desk.
"The Diary, destroyed by me using basilisk venom. The Ring was destroyed by Dumbledork using my sword. The Locket, cup, diadem, and me were exorcised by Goblin cure breakers. Nagini was killed by cutting curse from Dobby. Tom Riddle killed by 50 pounds of C4 and over 2,000 ball bearings with multiply charms. I believe that's the sum total love."
"Funny thing about your scar Harry, Chief Gringott said Bill Weasley could have removed the spirit if asked. Too bad, Dumbledork was so wrapped up in his manipulations not to have told us that piece of information. The soul fragment was so small it went undetected unless specifically looked for. The Goblin healers found it when they were repairing the damage done to your body by your so-called family. Dumbledork you and I will be having words about that later. Harry love, I think we should banish him to the Chamber of Secrets rather than poor Myrtle's bathroom."
"Lovely idea my dear Hermione, oh yes, Dumbledork your vaults and properties were seized. Aberforth was given your personal property, which he promptly destroyed. He was asked if he wished to reinter your remains, since they are not welcome at our school or property. His response could not be printed in the Daily Prophet or Quibbler but boiled down to burn the f'ing body and spread the ashes over the lake. We of course immediately rejected that idea stating no part of your remains may be allowed on any property we own. We rejected the cave you conveniently sent Sirius to for the same reason. Then my brilliant wife suggested we cremate the body, place it in an urn and put the urn in the men's loo in the Ministry Atrium. On 1 January of each year, it will be shifted between the men's and lady's loos. It will be placed at the correct height so anyone who wishes to can piss on it. My lovely wife is a devious lady I can hardly wait for her to meet my lovely family."
"Harry, the former Headmaster's portraits are here to provide advice to the current Headmaster."
"That's true Minerva, but do you really want advice from the man who almost destroyed Hogwarts and is the worst of the lot. This is the man who hired a twenty-two year-old Death Eater. Then he made him Head of House Slytherin. Since that time, students with potions NEWTs have steadily decreased to the point both the Aurors and St. Mungo's have had to provide potions training. This resulted in the decrease of the number of healers and Aurors, thereby affecting the entire British wizard world. As Chief Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, and Headmaster he had to have known this. Is this the action of a Light Wizard or a Dark one?"
"Dumbledore, how could you? You made us more vulnerable to a takeover by Voldemort while knowing full well what you were doing. Harry, I agree with any action you take with the portrait and grave and swear I shall support you and Hermione in whatever you ask."
"Thank you Minerva, now Hermione, and I have three more things to do before we leave school until the new term. I, Lord Gryffindor-Hufflepuff-Slytherin, do hereby dissolve the Hogwarts board of governors."
"I, Lady Ravenclaw, do hereby agree and dissolve the Hogwarts board of governors."
"So mote it be," they said as one.
"Minerva any teacher carrying the mark is dead, any that agreed with Moldyshorts cannot enter the Earldom of Hogsmeade. This includes students, and parents, as well. The wards now cover the entire Earldom and the Hogwarts Express. These wards are not dangerous unless someone tries to force entry. They merely do not allow entry to the Earldom or the Express." Hermione stated.
"Albus Dumbledore you are hereby banned to the Chamber of Secrets until called by me or Lady Ravenclaw, so mote it be." Harry said and the portrait disappeared.
"Minerva it's cold, dark, damp, and smells like hell down there. I doubt he will like being alone much, but such is life. We didn't say it in front of him, but we now rule the wizard world as Prince and Princess Pendragon. We have the power to banish the Wizengamot and name a new Minister. If you were to name a minister who would it be?"
"Well since Amelia Bones is dead I'd say Kinglsey Shacklebolt."
"Actually Amelia Bones is alive and at Gringotts Geneva, in a very comfortable apartment. What was found was a charmed mannequin from a Muggle department store. I'm sure Susan will be pissed when she finds out, but that will rapidly change to happiness because her Aunt is safe."
"Language Harry"
"Yes dear"
"Minerva, Ron and Ginevra Weasley won't be returning to school for the foreseeable future."
"Harry, may I ask why?"
"To put it kindly, Hermione and I don't take to traitors and paid spies very well. Ron was being paid ₲50 per month to spy on me for Dumbledork. The money came from my account. If Ginevra is innocent, or didn't know what was happening, she will be back next term or the one after. If Ron survives, he and Molly will see the inside of Azkaban for several years."
"Harry you forgot to tell her that we won't be back also. Minerva we each have 14 NEWTs and three Masters. Harry has Mastery in Defense, Potions, and Charms. I have Mastery in Transfiguration, Runes, and Arithmancy. Remind us one day and we will tell you how and who taught us."
"Surely Hermione, you wouldn't leave me wondering about something like that. Here, I always I thought I was one of your favorite teachers."
"Nice try, as the muggles say 'close but no cigar'. You were and still are my favorite teacher, but that has nothing to do with what I just said."
"Come love, Ministry first then the Burrow."
"Of course, my Prince."
Minerva McGonagall watched in awe as they held hands and simply disappeared. She looked at Phineus Black and said, "Phineus, I sense big changes are coming, and many will not appreciate them."
"Minerva McGonagall if I didn't know better I would believe you're channeling your inner seer. You do know that Ms. Lovegood is a true seer, don't you?"
"Phineus I believe she is much more than just a seer."
