Recap:
After mama and I did our family ritual we summoned James and Regulus like we do every year. We asked them if they knew of any proof to prove Sirius' innocence. They were both furious about him being in Azkaban. James told us that he mentioned Pettigrew was his secret keeper in him Will, and Regulus gave us some political advice. He told us that since Pettigrew is a half-blood, it wouldn't matter if Sirius was guilty or not, him being alive would basically win us our case especially with him alive and James' will. They also told us that they were thinking of reincarnating together after the war was done so they weren't born into a war. I'm planning on asking death to make sure they are reincarnated into good families. Before they left they asked if we could convise Sirius to talk to them the first Samhain he can.
The morning of Samhain Loki delivered Scrabbers to us right after we returned from our rituals. Mama took him and put him in a cage to keep him from transforming back. He quickly confirmed he is Pettigrew. Loki then snuck back into Gryffindor tower so Neville could return him to me at breakfast. He talked to me for about an hour about all the rats and toads were in there. He was really happy.
We had fun going shopping for the ball and Neville said he wished he was able to come to these before and that he had lot's of fun.
George said his date went well and now he and Cedric spend every Hogsmeade trip together. Chang got really upset and threw a fit when she heard a rumor they were dating. Now Fred spends every Hogsmeade weekend either pranking her, idiots 1 and 2, or annoying Percy. I told George to invite Cedric to sit with us and that he can sit with him during meals before we leave for Yule break or I would do it for him. It took me telling him that every time I saw him for 3 weeks until he gave in and asked. Something about him not wanting me to ask him if that's how I was ordering him to. Also something about me building an army, or something.
It took 2 weeks for Ronald to figure out his rat was missing. He threw a fit so bad and loud we heard it from the Slytherin common room. That was funny, but I think Dumbles is suspecting me. How I have no clue but mama helped me strengthen my shields.
Last week I had chat with Death to make sure we had all the right materials for the ritual to give dad his body back. He confirmed we do but I also heard him mumbling something about his aunt and two of her friends arguing and the third watching them as she makes butterflies. That was weird.
Morning of leaving for Yule break
All of the Slytherins of our group were waiting for Neville and Cedric to meet us at the school entrance. "I didn't expect you two to be going home over break." I told Fred and George.
"Freddie, does little prince not heard?" "Georgie did little Prince not hear?" "I don't think he has." "That makes us the messengers." "Just spill you two!" Dray interrupted. "Charlie is taking a break from his dragon training program." "Bill is taking 12 days off before going on a work trip to Egypt." "They're spending the holidays with us!" The twins cheered.
"Really? Does that mean we'll be able to see them?" I asked, excited as well. "They'll be coming with us to Diagon alley." They answered. "Who will be coming to visit you?" Neville asked as he finally got here.
"Bill and Charlie. The two oldest Weasley's." Gregory answered. "Oh. They were both in Gryffindor, right? Bill was head boy and Charlie was known as a quidditch legend. Right?" He asked. "That's right. I met them when Bill was entering his 4th year and Charlie his 2nd." I added.
"Wow, do you just know everyone?" Neville asked. "I just know people from the social gatherings. The Weasley's are the only family I didn't. I met them while Dray's family was taking me shopping right after dad and I were reunited. The youngest two and Molly made a scene and were extremely cruel and rude to me then the twins, the oldest 3, and Arthur apologized for them and we have been friends ever since." I explained.
"HEY! WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MY FAMILY AND WHY DID MY MOTHER'S NAME COME OUT OF YOUR FILTHY MOUTH?!" Ronald screamed, with Granger right behind him. Now when did they get here?
"I was simply informing Neville of how I know your brothers." I stated, making sure my mask was on. "Grrrrrr, ALL MY BROTHERS ARE FILTHY SNAKE LOVING TRAITORS WHO YOU CORRUPTED!" He growled.
The cowardly lion has a weak spot. His sister and mother, but that's not all. Oh no no no... this is gonna be fun.
"RONALD WEASLEY!" Percy yelled as he and a few other 5th year Ravenclaws came out with their stuff. "Your behavior needs to stop before you get your house into the negatives. You yourself have already lost your house hundreds of points, and you just lost another 5 points from Gryffindor!" Percy reprimanded.
Both of them whined and neighboring Gryffindors glared at them. "Now, go put your stuff in your carriage and wait for us to leave for the train." Percy instructed his youngest brother. They grumbled but left for an empty carriage.
"Appreciated Percy. We should all probably pack our things into our carriage. Blessed Yule." I thanked him, keeping my mask up. "Your welcome Harrison. Blessed Yule as well. If those two ever give you trouble have someone get me if you can't get to any of your prefects. Greg, Forge, behave yourselves until we get home" He replied before he and his friends went to an empty carriage and we went to a different one.
We threw our trunks onto the back and started climbing in. When half of us were in Cedric came running out, haphazardly threw his trunk with the rest of ours and ran into the carriage, taking a seat in the far left corner, right next to George. "Hurry in and lock the door!" He yelled. We finished getting in and locked the door when the last person entered.
Me and Dray are on the left wit the twins and Cedric and the others are on the right. "What was that about?!" Blaise exclaimed. "Sorry. Chang wouldn't leave me alone." He answered, sighing. "What did she do this time?" I asked. "She kept trying to hug and cling to me. Our parents want us to date so she won't stop. But luckily I convinced my mom to take me to get an inheritance this summer so I can convince them to nullify the marriage contract." He answered.
I wonder what happened last time for him to start dating her if he is so strongly against it. "That's good. If you do have a soulmate and either of you get an inheritance to find their soulmate, a marriage contract can only be made between the two, and no with anyone else." Dray said.
"Thank Merlin." He sighed in relief, laying his head on George's shoulder. We all laughed and we were soon on our way to the train.
A few hours later at kings cross
After a few hours we finally arrived at kings cross. 10 people in one compartment makes it a bit cramped. Next year Luna will be joining us so it will be 11. Who knows how many more after that. "Finally. It-" "was way to-" "cramped in there." The twins whined, causing us to laugh. "What did you expect with 10 people?" Theo asked, sarcastically.
"Fred, George!" Someone called out. We all turned to see the one and only Bill and Charlie Weasley. "Bill, Charlie!" They yelled back, running up and hugging them. After a few seconds Percy also ran past us to hug his brothers.
I looked around and saw Mama with aunt Cissa, and Uncle Lucius. I grabbed Draco's wrist and pulled him over to our parents. "Draco, Harrison. Good to see you two again. Leave your trunks here and go say bye to your friends, then we'll apparate home." Aunt Cissa instructed. We left our trunks with them and went to the 5 oldest Weasley's. Everyone else was with their parents.
"Harrison, Draco. It's been a while now, hasn't it?" Charlie greeted, smiling. "Yes, it has. How are you two?" I replied. "Good. I'm sure the twins have told you but the day after the Yule Ball I will be heading to Egypt to help break any curses in a newly found tomb." Bill answered. "I'm enjoying my training to be able to work with dragons." Charlie answered.
"That's good. Hogwarts in boring and Dray won't let me sleep during history of magic." I pouted, causing the red heads to laugh and Dray to glare at me. "Have you been behaving and not making people think they're crazy?" Charlie teased. "Ah please. I just either sick the demons on them or make people think they were being cruel to me and either a prefect or a professor takes house points from them." I bragged. "Of course." Charlie said, shaking his head.
"Why do I let you get away with that, again?" Percy asked. "Because you love me and know I don't make innocent people suffer." I replied, causing them to laugh.
"BILL, CHARLIE, PERCY, FRED, GOERGE! GET OVER HERE AND AWAY FROM THOSE DEATH EATERS!" Molly screeched. "We'll be there in a minute. And they aren't death eaters!" Bill yelled back. "Sorry about her. The Diagon alley trip is tomorrow, correct?" Bill asked. I nodded. "Neville Longbottom will also be with us as the newest member of our group. We will also be taking a detour for the twins to get their inheritance tests." I answered. "Though for George, it's more of confirming then finding out." Dray commented.
"Oh, who has caught our little brothers interest?" Charlie asked, causing George to blush. "Oh, is that why you and him have been hanging out and going to Hogsmeade together?" Percy teased. "It's a he? Tell us wo the lucky boy is." Charlie begged.
"NO!" George exclaimed. "We've only been hanging out and I don't want to get my hopes up." "Ok ok." Charlie replied. "Oh, before I forget. Mom said Dumbledor will be going to the Yule ball this year so now our whole family is going instead of just us 5 and dad." Bill told us.
I looked at him shocked. "It's the Prince families turn to host so I'll warn dad about that. Thank you for the warning." I replied. "No problem-" "Come on guys! We are leaving and you shouldn't be talking to blood purist death eater scum!" Ronald exclaimed as he walked over here, face turning red, then stomping off.
"We should leave before mom or Ron makes a scene." Percy said. "No one wants to hear or listen to that." Dray said.
We quickly said our goodbyes as they left. We looked around and saw Neville was the only one still here. He spotted us and waved us over. "Gran, this is Heir Prince Harrison and Heir Malfoy Draco, two of the friends I wrote to you about. Harrison is the one who saved me during our first riding class." Neville introduced us.
"Well meet Heir Prince and Heir Malfoy. I have to say, I was shocked to hear you have welcomed my grandson into your group. Especially considering who your aunt is, Heir Malfoy." Lady Longbottom said, trying to sound kind but I could see her anger. Seems like she doesn't want him to interact with us, but has to hide it. There's two possible explanations. I'll have to ask Uncle Lucius about where her loyalties lie.
"Well meet Lady Longbottom." Both of us replied. "I understand your reservations but I can assure you the only relative from the Noble and Most Ancient house of Black I take after is my mother, I am nothing like my aunt and have built a strong friendship with Neville." Dray said. "That's good. Neville told me you invited him to go Christmas shopping tomorrow. Who will be there?" She asked.
"Including us, there will be Theodore Nott, Blaise Zabini, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, Percy, Fred and George Weasley, and the adults accompanying us will be Bill and Charlie Weasley, Narcissa Malfoy nee Black, and my dad Severus Prince. Usually it would be Arthur Weasley but he got busy with work so his two oldest will be coming instead." I answered.
"So it is true that you are friends with most of the Weasley clan. May I ask why the youngest 2 won't be coming?" She asked. "Well to be blunt none of us enjoy being insulted every minute. We invited them once, all of us, including them, all agreed to never invite them again." I answered. I wasn't lying but that also wasn't the full truth.
What actually happened was they were invited, told their mom, she threw a fit, and Arthur would take them in secret.
"Hmm, I understand. What's the time and place Neville should be dropped off?" She asked. "Tomorrow, 10:00, at the Leaky Cauldron. You don't need to bring money if you don't wish to. Draco and Blaise use this trip as an opportunity to see who can spend the most so they usually end up paying for everyone. Though I must ask if you will be attending this years Yule Ball. My house just so happens to be hosting and I would love for your house to be there." I replied, giving a sweet smile.
She looked a bit shocked at my invite. "I'll have to look at my schedule and get back to you. Have a good day you two. Come along Neville." She said. "Bye guys." Neville said. "Bye Neville." We both said.
Our families apparated to our respective manors. "TISSY!" I called.
*POP* "Young master Harrison, Master Severus, Tissy missed yous. Tissy is so happy yous be back." She said. I smiled and ran over and hugged her. "I missed you too Tissy. Hogwarts is so boring. But I made a new friend and we found dad." I told her. She smiled, "You found master Marvolo? Will he be returning soon?" She asked. "He will be getting his body back on the 23rd during fathers night." I replied.
She looked very happy. "Master Severus, would yous like Tissy to prepare a healing room for Master Marvolo?" She asked. "That won't be necessary, he will be staying in our room, but please take our trunks to our rooms, then get the house elves from both Riddle manor and Prince manor and have them start getting Prince manor ready for the Yule ball on the first." Mama instructed. "Yes master Severus." She replied, grabbing out trunks then popped away.
"Mama, when will dad be arriving?" I asked. "He has to get the two of his horcruxes that no one else can get to, and said he should be here between tomorrow afternoon and the 22nd." He answered. "Who's getting the other 2?" I asked. "Cissa but she had to pull the strings. Luckily since King Rangok knows about the situation and him and mainly his wife are fond of you, they are letting Cissa enter her sister's chamber to get the goblet then will be going to get the locket from Kreacher. And we have an appointment at Gringotts tomorrow for after the shopping is done to get the one out of your head." He answered.
"When will we be getting the twins inheritance test?" I asked. "We'll do the shopping, then get food, then go to Gringotts for the inheritance tests, then after everyone else leaves we will extract the horcruxes and put it and all the others into the diary. But you need to figure out how to get Neville to take an inheritance test." Mama answered.
"It might be best to just tell him the truth when we are in Gringotts away from everyone else." I said. "I think that would be successful." He replied. "Hopefully. I don't want to offend him or something." I said. "Don't worry little snake, I'm sure once everything is explained, he will understand." He said, kneeling in front of me and running his hand through my hair.
I smiled and hugged him. "Thanks mama. You are the best." I said, looking up at him. He smiled down at me, and gave me a kiss on my forehead.
"Can I let Loki play with Pettigrew?" I asked. He laughed. "As long as he doesn't die or get away, sure." He answered. "Thanks mama, love you." I said, running off. "Love you too!" I heard him call out.
