An 15 year old Shernette never found herself interested in marriage in her life, as she made sure to keep her wealth a secret.
She took up an interest in criminal investigation as she saw a crime scene involving the death of a florist.
A gentle woman actually. Though it was more than a simple mugging.
With the bruises on her face and body, it was obvious it was for sick amusement.
Shernette used her subtle power to see what assaulted the poor woman.
Four figures, all male. However, they were third or fourth born sons of noble families.
These days when a noble family has more than two children, the first and sometimes second born son would inherent the family business. The third born and so on would get nothing if anything. Any daughters would just get married off.
Shernette looked distant as she walked from the crime scene as she asked the victim's friend where she was spotted last before her death.
She made a plan to catch these assailants in the act as bait.
By dressing up as a pretty commoner, she would certainly attract attention.
-----------------
Like clockwork, the four men tried to strike........
Only to be counterattack.
"My my. Looks like I wasn't the only one to be reincarnated." Shernette said as she looked over the men who was surprised to see this young lady know who they really were.
"Crabbe. Gayle. Snide. Lee. I'm surprised Malfoy isn't among you." She smirked.
"Potter!"
"I suppose we can take vengeance after all. Seeing as how we are treated no better than muggles now." Crabbe said only to get his face punched in.
"In other words, you boys don't have your magic. Well, that makes it easier for me. I suppose I should remind you lot why I was called the Conqueress." Shernette smiled.
-----------------
The next day Mycroft looked over the paper to find an interesting article.Four third born noblemen were found all bound up along with evidence that they assaulted the unfortunate florist. Their parents or relatives were disappointed with their behavior and disinherited them. Meaning they would spend their lives in prison.
His sister was looking over a letter indicating she got more wealth from the four reincarnated men.
Crabbe: 586,000,000,000 galleons
Goyle: 4,567,430,000,000 galleons
Lee: 22,057,685,000 galleons
Snyde: 758,000,000,000 galleonsHe can understand why she said she was called 'Conqueress' or 'Mammon’s Collector' by the pure blood magic families.
But then again, after what they did and supported, they never deserved their titles in the first place.

Next chapter will be a timeskip. What kinds of mysteries should Shernette have 'solved'?How should the Moriarty Brothers hear of her?
