Potter castle.

It's been two-week since Sirius got released from Azkaban. Charlus was thinking it high time they talk about the marriage contract with the Black family. He doesn't know how sirius will react to the news of a marriage contact. Sirius was always a rebel. He will not be so pleased to learn about the existence of a marriage contract between his daughter and his best friend's son. Even if he wished they could get together with each other in the deepest part of his heart. Then his thoughts went to the day after the trial.

The day after the trial while charlus waiting for him morning mews paper and breakfast. He discussed with Dorea how the news about Lily being the heiress of Hale family and being a pureblood witch will end up with a mixed feeling among the people. Suffice to say, what charlus predicted occurred. Most of the muggleborn witch/wizarding population first thought it was just a made-up story. Up until the news about Hadrian will be receiving the Lordship of House of Hale also began to circulate among the public. That was when they made Goblins made an official statement, of course with their permission, That "they expect Hadrian to take-up the mantle of Head of the House at his 11th birthday as per his mother's wish".

Muggleborn are less than pleased with news that the "BRIGHTEST WITCH SINCE ROWENA" as some people began to call her turned out to be a pureblood. Some of them thought with lily being a muggleborn, they can somehow utilize that to their gain. Only some of the opportunist took this as a chance to build a better standing in the society. While some of them began to go on with their life's.

For fanatic blood purist-pureblood families it is entirely another story. The thought about Lily being pureblood somewhat satisfied them. Their ego is safe for now. It was like their belief of them being better than muggleborn is proven. Also, they are relived that House of Potter "don't become impure". They can't never imagine a muggleborn as the Lady of such a powerful House.

For some others pureblood families though, they are curious to know how she end up in the squib-uncle's care. They are criticizing the ministry to not investigate a supposed reported death of a wizarding couple in Britain in 1960s properly. Someone had gone through the old newspaper clipping and record in "Hall of record" to find out that the death of a wizarding couple were left without a proper investigation.

Someone elderly witch in the neighbourhood reporting the incident after seeing a magical explosion on that house. She reported missing of their only daughter. But the investigation team didn't pay investigate it properly. They closed that case as death of two unidentified people. And the daughter till missing. They were outraged that because of the irresponsibility of the officials an heiress of a family is not brought up properly. It ended up being a shameful incident to the entire ministry that they tried to cover it up. But that didn't save them at all.

Few days later Ragnarök has informed him about the details of the marriage contract after analysing them. It is a basic- yet string contract. Breaking them is nearly impossible now. As it is not possible to break the contract before both parties in the Berthold contract reaches the age of seventeen. Also, it needs to be fulfilled before age of nineteen. It has given them time of 2 years to make the decision. It is also impossible to break the contract even with the status of Head of the House before they get of-age. That is a pretty good contract in his opinion.

He knows, he will have to write up a contract for hades in future. He is not ready to send him to Hogwarts without that layer of protection. Especially after learning what dumbledore tried to make a marriage contract with House of Weasley. Albus dumbledore without missing a beat, tried to writeup a contract between Hadrian and the Weasley's new-born daughter with the power of being the guardian of Hadrian in the short amount of time he had. Luck was with them potter family charter never allows a non-potter parent/guardian to make a marriage contract. Dorea was furious to learn about the contract.
