Beautifully Bonded

Chapter 3: Grimmauld's Place

"How many Wizengamot seats do I have?" Hadrian asked the goblin.

"For now, you have eleven seats. Five seats for each Imperial House and one for the Potter's. If you inherited the two other Houses, you will have a total of seventeen seats. Five for Imperial, four for Esteemed, two for the Black's and one for the Potter's."

Hadrian nodded as the goblin spoke, he knew he had a lot of seats but not like that. If Dumbledore knew he had those seats, who knows what the old man would do. He already sealed the wills of Harry's parents, what more will he do to him if he knew the power Hadrian holds?

"I know Dumbledore holds my Potter seat, but does he know about my other seats too?"

"No, I don't think so. He already holds the Potter's seat since it is already given that you are a Potter, and since he is your magical guardian, he has power to hold it unless you become Lord. Now, since you are already Lord Potter, he does not have any rights to hold your seat. We can give him a letter about that if you want." Hadrian shook his head.

"No, if you gave him a letter informing him about my seat, then he'll know I'm the Lord. Let him use my seat, he does not know about my other seat right? Then I can just give a proxy to someone."

"Yes, he does not know about your other seats since your father is not the Heir of any of those seats if I recall." Hadrian looked at him as if he grew another head.

"How? If I am the Heir of these Houses then so was my father." The goblin shook his head.

"No, the only reason why I was curious about your inheritance was that no one in your bloodline was Heir of any Houses except the Potter's. If I was correct, the Gryffindor and Peverell do not only choose their Heir solely by their blood. They also test the knowledge, power, affinity and intellect of their Heir. So if I am right, you are the first Heir of both lines in almost a century."

Hadrian blinked rapidly, the family magic tested him? How.

"Uhh, then Dumbles won't know about this? I mean, he only needed my blood and he'll know my inheritance." The goblin looked at him and smirked.

That's a creepy one, Hadrian thought.

"Yes, he just needs your blood. But the inheritance test needs fresh blood, not the one who has already been exposed outside and was taken from a vial. That's why I needed you to cut your palm and drop the blood directly to the parchment. Plus, he needed the dagger I gave you in order to know the other houses, your consent should also be given or your magic will lash out."

Hadrian grinned, nice. Everything was moving according to the plan.

"Oh, I remembered. Sirius is innocent, according to my parent's will, Peter is their secret keeper! So, as Potter and Black's account manager, I want you to arrange a solicitor for him. My father needs to be freed from that filthy place." Hadrian won't let Sirius be in prison. Father or not, Hadrian likes Sirius ever since he read and watched Harry Potter.

"Yes, that will be done. But Peter is dead, the ministry will not approve of that even with valid proof." Hadrian grinned at the goblin.

"That is where you are wrong, I'll handle Peter while you handle the proof of my father being innocent. I want him released by the summer next year. Not now, I need to lay out my plans first. Do not let Dumbles know about our plan."

Griphook can not believe what he heard, he'll handle Peter? But the man is dead. The boy really intrigued him.

"Now, I want to know if I can hold the Black's seat or do I need Sirius' approval?"

"Since you are still the Heir, you still do not have any hold on the Black's seat and property yet. Dumbledore holds the Black seat since Sirius was imprisoned. But as the Heir, you have a stronger hold on the decision than the Chief Warlock, so you can just get a proxy for the Black's seat and everything will be alright. I suggest you make Narcissa Malfoy the proxy, since she's a Black, it will be less suspicious than giving proxy to others."
