The female perfect for Gryffindor lead the first years back to the tower. She directed the boys and girls to their dormitories.

Headmaster Dumbledore threw some green floo powder into the fireplace and said, "The Burrow"

After a few minutes Molly finally saw the headmaster in her fireplace.

"Molly why did the kids miss the train?" asked Dumbledore

"We never saw the boy. You said he didn't know how to get onto the platform. He wasn't on the muggle side," said Molly.

"He somehow figured it out. And he has claimed his lordship. I am trying to get it turned over and get the Wizenagmot to force him into a betrothal with a witch that I pick," said Dumbledore not knowing that they were being overheard by the twins. "He will be betrothed to your daughter. When can you get the kids here?"

"Arthur is home so he can watch Ginny. If you grant us permission we can come through now."

"Granted" said the headmaster as he pulled his head out of the fireplace. Soon the family of red heads came through the fireplace. "Now Ronald please, place the sorting hat on your head."

"Gryffindor" not that he belongs in another house thought the sorting hat.

"Now Misters Weasley off to Gryffindor tower. The password is Corpus Dragoca," said the Headmaster.

The Weasley's hurried up to the tower since it was after curfew. Ronald was fuming because he was late for the train. So that meant someone else started to become friends with Harry. He was supposed to be the only friend to the boy who lived. He wondered who told Harry how to get onto the platform. The twins were pondering what they overheard between their mother and the headmaster. They had read the paper last week and saw that Sirius Black the godfather of Lord Potter was pardon and granted guardianship of his godchild.

The Weasley's twins knew they would have to prove themselves to Lord Potter so he would believe them.

Harry was going over the withdrawals from his vaults since his grandfather passes away. He noticed several big withdrawals starting in September of 1983 to Hogwarts. Harry was wondering what these withdrawals were about when a red head walked into the dorm room.

"My name is Ron Weasley. I know you are Harry Potter. I don't have to call you Mr. Potter do I," said Ron.

"Actually until we become friends you will address me by my title which is Lord Potter. Now I have some things I have to review for the Potter Estate. Not all of us can be as lucky to not have to worry about the family estate," said Harry. "Please let me get back to it."

Harry spent the next hour going over the folder his accountant gave him. He then placed the folder in his multi-compartment trunk. Then he went to bed.

In the morning Harry, Neville, and Hermione walked down to the Great Hall for breakfast. Professor McGonagall handed out their time schedules. They had transfiguration with Ravenclaw, charms with Hufflepuff, and potions with Slytherin. After eating breakfast they headed outside for herbology.

After all of the gardening Harry's relatives had made him do Herbology proved to be easy. After Herbology they had potions.

"Ah, Yes," Snape said softly, "Harry Potter; our new — celebrity."

"Potter!" said Snape suddenly. "What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"

Powdered root of what to an infusion of what?

"I don't know, sir," said Harry. Snape's lips curled into a sneer.

"Tut, tut — fame clearly isn't everything. Directions are on the board. You have two hours."

Harry was working at the same table with Hermione when the Black heir ring hissed a warning. Harry looked up and saw Draco Malfoy with his hand over Harry's cauldron about ready to drop a handful of porcupine quill into his cauldron. "Can I help you, the foreigner heir Malfoy?"

"You will quit saying I am a foreigner. My family has been British for the last three hundred years. I can't say the same for your family," said Draco.

"Actually Draco the Potter and Black families have been pure British since before the Romans arrived in the country. Oh when did your father go to the Minister to get charges pressed onto me?" asked Harry.

"A week after you assaulted me in the shop."

"That is funny. Hermione, Sirius got out of jail two days after I 'assault' this heir?"

"Yes he did, Harry. Madame Bones said she had Lucius Malfoy in prison the day she got new info from your last father. It seems like your father wasn't being controlled like he claimed," said Hermione, "Now get away from our cauldrons."

After class Harry went to talk to you Professor McGonagall. When Harry knocked on his head of house's office door he heard enter.

"Professor McGonagall I have a question about the tuition of Hogwarts. My question is how much is the tuition of Hogwarts?"

"Well Mr. Potter like everything else in our world. It is on a slide scale. You and the other Ancient and Noble houses pay the most since you can afford it. You pay twenty thousand galleons. While Mr. Malfoy pays a little over eight thousand galleons. The Weasley Family pays around a few hundred galleons per Weasley child. Why do you ask?" asked Professor McGonagall.

"Well I noticed several transactions starting the year of 1982 just six months after my grandfather passed away. In 1983 it was 20,000 to Hogwarts. In 1984 it was 40,000. In 1985 it went up to 60,000. In 1986 it went up to 100,000. For two years it said the same. In 1988 the tuition went up to 140,000. In 1990 it dropped to 120,000. This year it went back up to 140,000" said Harry showing McGonagall the audit of his account. "The bank listed the withdrawals as payment of tuition."

"1983-1990 was when William Weasley was here. 1984-1991 was when Charlie Weasley was here. Percy started in 1985. The twins started in 1988. And Ronald Weasley started just this year. So what you are saying is that the Potter Estate had been paying for them to come to Hogwarts. Now William and Charlie were recruited into their chosen careers at the beginning of their sixth years. Usually who have to be sitting for your N.E.W.T.s before most jobs will even look at you, and they just sat for their O.W.L.s" said McGonagall.

"Professor McGonagall the headmaster request that you bring Mr. Potter to his office. Headmaster Dumbledore needs to talk to young Mr. Potter" said a portrait.

"Thank you Headmaster Potter. I will take your descendent to Headmaster Dumbledore," said Professor McGonagall leading Harry out of her office. "That was the portrait of Headmaster Andrew Churles Potter and he was headmaster two hundred years ago."

Harry and Professor McGonagall walked to the griffin guarding the headmaster's office.

"Lemon Drop" said Professor McGonagall as the griffin moved out of the way. Professor McGonagall knocked on the door at the top of the stairwell.

"Enter," said Dumbledore as Professor McGonagall opened the door "Ah my good Professor McGonagall thank you for bringing Mr. Potter to me."

"I want to know why you need to talk to Mr. Potter as his school head of house."

"I just need Mr. Potter to sign some paperwork dealing with his inheritance," said Headmaster Dumbledore from behind his desk.

"What papers does the Headmaster of a school do I need to sign?" asked Harry.

"It is just to name me your proxy," said Dumbledore pushing a piece of parchment towards Harry.

Harry picked it up and read the paper. The Potter family ring started whispering to Harry.

"No I don't think I will be signing this paper. If I would sign this paper you would legally take the family seat for good from my family. Now could you tell me how my family estate comes to pay for the complete tuition of six Weasley children?" asked Harry.

"Maybe your grandfather issued that request. I don't know why. But you do need to sign the proxy form."

"My proxy is my godfather" said Harry as he walked back to the door "since he is the one my parents picked. Have a good day Headmaster."

"Mr. Potter I have wanted you to sign this paper willing, but I hate to tell but the Wizenagmot will give me the proxy over a man that had spent the last decade in prison" said Dumbledore as the Potter family ring started whispering again.

"Headmaster the Wizenagmot cannot change the proxy on the seats of the council family. The Potter family is a leading member of the true British Wizarding Council. Why do you want to be placed as my proxy?"

"Because I know the politics in the Wizenagmot and I can be you're most powerful ally there."

"Professor McGonagall will you please escort me to Gryffindor common room."

"Yes Lord Potter. Headmaster I am very disappointed in you. Wizenagmot will already approve of Sirius' guardianship of Lord Potter and with that the proxy for all legal ventures."
