July 7th 1996
In a alleyway wind suddenly blew about then fading in and out appeared a big grandfather clock, stepping out from behind it Harry stared at what the Tardis turned into and smiled at the irony of the Tardis turning into a clock. He had dressed up nicely for the meeting.
Exiting the alley he made his way for the Leaky Cauldron upon entering the bar he went through to Diagon alley, walking to Gringotts he felt slight annoyance as he saw some of the people look at him then keep their head down whispering. Getting to the doors he nodded to the guards at the entrance before entering the bank he walked up to a teller, "Greetings Master Teller I have a meeting with the Bones Family today I am Lord Potter" He said to the Furling in Lantean showing his Lord ring for house Potter.
The Furling looked at him and then said "Yes Lord Potter we have been expecting you follow me please" he got down from his desk and then waved at him to follow. They went down a pathway walking past sets of doors until they arrived at a door marked 11, he waved at the door and said "In there Lord Potter will be your account manager along with the Bones Family with their account manager please enter" Harry nodded then said "Thank you".
Opening the door Harry was greeted to the site of a long table with four chairs on either side and one on either end of the table, occupying two seats of the seats on one side was two women the oldest one had long strawberry blond hair woman and a young red haired girl.
Harry recognised Susan but he didn't recognise the older woman, then on either end of the table he saw two Furling's one he noticed was his manager Bonebreaker the other was clearly the manager for the Bones Family.
Both women stood as did the two Furling's when he entered closing the door behind him. Bonebreaker was the first to speak "Greetings Lord Potter may I present to you Madam Amelia Susan Bones and Heiress Susan Helen Bones of the Bones Family and their account manager Skullcracker", he then turned to both women "may I present Lord Harry James Potter-Peverell-Gryffindor-Slytherin-Ravenclaw and Heir to the Black Family's", he saw the notice able shock on their faces at his titles Bonebreaker then said "Please be seated" Harry pulled the chair out and sat down with the others.
Harry looked at the two women and then "Hello Madam Bones, Hi Susan but forgive me Madam you look very different to how you looked during my trial last year". "Yes that is a disguise I use during my work hours" taking a breath, "You see if I look older they take me more seriously and respect my authority in my position of work" Amelia replied, Harry frowned then asking "Why would they not respect your authority you seem to be good at job" Amelia sighed "Harry as you know are people age at a much slower rate compared to the Muggles, do but the people in power only respect you if look old enough like your transfiguration professor".
Harry nodded "Ok moving on can we discuss the marriage contract please" he noticed when he said this Susan gain a look of happiness and sadness then look down at her lap while taking a glance at him then blushing when she noticed him looking at her. Amelia sat back and began to explain "That contract was made in the 1500s by the then head of the Black and Bones family at the urging of the Bones wife, who was a seer to be an insurance that their family's will live on and survive, binding the contract into the family magics so that it could only be activated when the family's are on the verge of being wiped out".
Harry looked thoughtful at this "So the contract activated because you and Susan are the only surviving members of House Bones and myself and Sirius are the last members of House Black", Amelia only gave a nod in return Harry looked at Susan then asked "How do you feel about this Susan".
Susan looked shocked to be addressed before her face set with a look of determination looking at Harry in the eye "I won't lie, I didn't take that my ability to choose whom to love and eventually marry being taken from me very well and with my aunt checking out the contract finding out its Ironclad with no way out it. I choose to try and put effort into it so we can at least be happy together plus it helps that I was already interested in you". she said her face alight with a bright red blush at the confession at the end.
Harry was struck with a light blush on his cheeks and couldn't help but admire her before he used his mental disciplines to gain control of his emotions again.
He turned to look at Madam Bones who had a slightly amused look on her face before it was wiped away, "Yes well you must be married by no later than October 31st this year so after this meeting if you would be agreeable would you escort my niece around so you can get better acquainted, with each other but please have her back home by 3pm" said Amelia very firmly at the end.
Harry nodded while thinking /come on Halloween it's always Halloween/ before replying "Yes that's fine".
"Also I believe we should have a dinner together to get to know each other better as we will be family soon" said Amelia. Harry just agreed with a nod.
"Well then as we have settled everything here I must get back home to finish some paper work" Amelia said, as she rose from were she was sitting giving a nod to Susan and Harry before saying goodbye to Skullcraker and Bonebreaker abd then leaving the room.
"Thank you Bonebreaker and Skullcraker for your time" Harry said getting up he turned to Susan who was now standing, "Shall we go" he said giving a nod to the door she nodded before turning to the two account mangers "Thank you for your time" she said with a small smile, before turning and grabbing Harrys hand pulling him along out the doors.
