Death's Chosen Child

Chapter 9: Part nine

Harry's POV;

Harry wants to laugh at the reactions he gets from everyone now he changed the Potter seats to Neutral instead of keeping them in the Light section. But he keeps his face impassive, looking around the bumbling set of baboons that are yelling at each other.

The Potter seats have been in the Light section since the moment they joined the Wizengamot. He hopes that his ancestors understand why he needed to change that.

Dumbledore seems flabbergasted at his declaration, and Harry feels a tingle of glee inside of him. The Light section is mostly demanding answers and pleading for him to leave his seats. The Neutral section is divided by placating the Light section and calming the Dark section. Because they are demanding that the Peverell seats need to be in the Dark section, something Harry had thought about, but he needs to be Neutral. He can't be in the Light or Dark section with his beliefs and his title as Master of Death.

It also is a huge deliberate distraction from Tom. Being introduced as the son of the former Dark Lord is something that will be huge news. With the Potter's changing their alliance, the people will not hone in on Tom. Hopefully.

The chaos is still not over, and Harry is getting annoyed. He glances at Tom and sees him subtly rolling his eyes when he meets Harry's emerald green eyes.

Harry stands and uses his magic to silence everyone around him. Witches and Wizards are looking around them, demanding answers to why they are silenced, only to see an annoyed Harry Potter.

''I am aware that I'm young, but I'm more than capable of making decisions on my own. I don't want or need your opinion on the matter of my family seats changing alliance. I am also disappointed in how you all reacted to my own family business. Can we please act like civilized people and continue the meeting?'' Harry looks around and sees multiple people looking contrite and ashamed, but a lot of them are glaring daggers at him for calling them out on their behavior. Well, Harry isn't there to make friends. When he looks at Tom and Sirius, he sees them both smirking.

''Thank you for your attention.'' He drawls sarcastically before retaking his seat. It doesn't take long for the seats from the Potter's to be merged with the Peverell seats.

He then looks at Dumbledore, who still hasn't said anything but is still looking at Harry, probably pondering where all his plans have gone wrong. ''Chief Warlock, is there a problem?'' He asks innocently. He ignores the snort he hears. He knows it's Sirius.

Dumbledore straightens, and Harry can almost see his Occlumency shields coming up to control his emotions.

''Not at all, my boy,'' Dumbledore says. The only way how Harry reacts to his old name from Vernon Dursley is the clenching of his fist.

He hates the name because, for the first five years of his life, he seriously thought freak or boy was his name. The Dursleys never used his regular name. They never called him Harry. He knew what his name was only because he went to school and only after the teacher used it for the first time.

But he can't let it show how it affects him. He nods at Dumbledore and waves his hand in a 'please continue' motion.

Dumbledore goes through the rest of the names, but all the other families stay with their current sections.

The rest of the meeting is pretty boring. The pink toad keeps smirking for some reason at Harry, and every time he sees it, he wants to shiver in disgust. He doesn't trust her intentions at all.

There are also two bills to pass, and the Wizengamot needs to vote for them. Unfortunately, they aren't really important, something about cauldrons and a law about a dangerous potion ingredient, but one that is used in a lot of healing potions.
