“Ready?” Remus asked as the three stood before the old phone booth.
“Ya, Let’s do this.” Harry said quietly. Several minutes later, they were in the building going past the guard and up to the fifth floor. Heads turned as workers looked at the somber threesome and it was with much relief that Harry, Albus and Remus arrived at the office of Arnold Rollins. Albus knocked on the mahogany door and a low deep voice told them to enter. It wasn’t seeing the tall short haired and large-eyed black man in robes of sapphire blue that looked amazingly like someone else they knew, It was the bushy-brown haired and dark chocolate brown eyes of Hermione Anna Granger that gave Harry quiet a shock. Beside her stood a older blond haired version of her self whom Harry remember as her mother Dr. Katrina Granger and The large man with thick wavy brown hair and eyes was her father Dr. Aaron Granger.
There were
others there as well. Tonks along with another woman that was an older version
of her, beside a tall red haired hazel-eyed man that Harry could only assume
were her parents. Molly, Arthur, Ginny and Ron Weasley and someone Harry least
expected to see was Narcissa Black-Malfoy and her son Draco Malfoy, both
talking quietly to
“Hey, Harry…How have you been doing?” Ginny asked as she came over and gave him a hug.
“Good, just been keeping busy…” Harry said as Ron and Hermione came over to him.
“Hey Mate the Muggles been giving you any problems?” Ron asked as he held out a large hand.
“None, what’s so ever, I can probably thank Moody for that…” Harry said with a slight smirk.
“Those books helping?” Mione asked as Ron finished shaking his hand and Mione stepped forward and put her arms around him squeezing him tightly before stepping back.
“Yes, there excellent, thank you… Your parent’s are here?” Harry asked as he looked over to where her Mum and Dad were standing next to Albus talking quietly.
“Um…ya…that’s…another reason why I needed to see you two…” Mione stopped with a grimace as she looked at Malfoy, then back at her parent’s, whom were taking seats next to Albus.
“Ok, if everyone can have a seat. We can begin…”
“Ok, this is formal reading of the last Will and Testament of Sirius Alfred-Ryan Black, We will start off with a message from Mr. Black then go on to what he has decreed to the executors of said Estate. Albus if you will…” Mr. Rollins asked as he handed him a piece of paper. With a quick tap to the parchment, smoke began to form and with in seconds a figure stood behind the headmaster.
“Wow, this is weird, Hi everyone, It’s nice to see you all here, and I can only guess you two are Dr.’s Granger’s. Besides being the first ghost, you have ever seen I think I’m quite happy not to be here on the physical plain otherwise if I weren’t already dead. You two would kill me for what has happened between Hermione and me. First, I’m not going to apologize for falling in love with Mione and subsequently impregnating her, I didn’t have time to regret my decision before that happened and I don’t have time now.” Sirius paused as the Mr. Granger raised her hand, then began to speak.
“I understand Mr. Black, and No I’m not especially angry, I just needed proof that you and not Ron or Harry was actually the father, I trust my daughter, But my wife and I sat and watch her for the better part of 5 years saying one thing, then acting another. We’re you two planning on marrying?” Aaron asked calmly.
“Yes, August 15th” Sirius said as he looked at her, Mione’s brown eyes filled with tears, lips trembling.
“Ok that’s all we wanted to know, thank you.” Aaron said solemnly, as he put his arm around his daughter.
“Ok where was I oh yes, Ginny and Tonks thank you for your discretion were Mione and I was concerned. Ron , Harry please watch out for your friend, I know I would like one if not both of you to be godfather to our child Don’t be angry at her, I was the one who didn’t want to add to your already full plates and I had planned on telling you, Harry. Take care of her please. Lastly, Narcissa, I expect that debt you owe me, to be passed on to Hermione and our child. Draco can carry it out and you are free to then, anything happens to her or my child, I will make sure you pay. Good luck everyone, take care and hopefully I won’t be seeing you anytime soon.” Sirius spirit finished quietly, fading into a cloud of smoke, before disappearing.
“Any questions?” Mr. Rollins asked calmly. When no one spoke he began.
“Ok, First to Mr. Albus Dumbledore, I would like to leave the sum of 100,000 galleons to be used in a manner that he sees fit.” Mr. Rollins began.
“To Arthur and Molly Weasley, the sum of 500,000 galleons to be used in a matter that they see fit, I extend a separate sum of 20,000 galleons to Ronald and Ginerva Weasley and 10,000 galleons to Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, and George Weasley.”
“To Remus Lupin, I leave 250,000 galleons, the Guardianship of one Harry James Potter and my old flat to you my friend…”
“To Ann, Ted and Tonks, 250,000 galleons and Uncle Alfred’s old house to you.
“To Harry James Potter, the sum of 1,000,000 galleons and
the property at
“To Hermione Anna Granger, the sum of 2,000,000 Galleons and
the property at
“All subsequent funds of monies will be transferred upon my death to designated accounts for said executors.”
“There are a few other organizations that will be receiving funds as well and notices have been sent out, but I believe that is it, If everyone can sign the following statements that will be it.” Mr. Rollins said as he passed out pieces of parchments to the various people at the table. There was silence for a couple of minutes as scratching could be heard and shuffling could be heard as the documents were handed back to Mr. Rollins, and he handed them another document for them to keep.
“Ok, these hearings are over, thank you and have a pleasant day.” Mr. Rollins said as he stood up shook hands with Albus, before turning and walking out of the room. Everyone stood around and started talking to one another; Narcissa came over to Hermione and her parent’s and in a soft voice and vivid blue eyes asked
“Miss Granger, this is my address if you need to get in touch with me for any reason send an owl and I will be there to help. If you are returning to Hogwarts Draco will take over for me and consequently if you need any help, ask him. Because that is, what he is designated to do. Do you need anything right now a referral to a Healer and/or Muggle Doctor?” Narcissa asked briskly a saddened look on her face as she looked at the young woman.
“Not right now but thank you, Mrs. Malfoy.” Mione said quietly, her brown eyes tired.
“I’m sorry for your loss, Sirius was a bastard, but he never turned his back on his family or friends and I am always grateful to say that man was my kin, take care and write when you need me.” Narcissa said as she held out a long fingered hand that Mione took straight away. She turned but not before Draco nodded his head, a gesture that Harry and Ron both saw and were quiet amazed that Mione acknowledged in return.
