Harry's POV
Then all of us asked if we could floo to ministry, and Riverand agreed.

We flooed to the ministry after I was forced to take my base form as a year old, and carried by Siri and sent a message to Amelia Bones, the head of Auror, and asked if we had permission to go to her office and called a reporter from Daily Prophet.

When we reached her office, Rita Skeeter was already present in the room along with Amelia. Both were shocked to see Siri, Remmy, and Severus in one room and not fighting.

"Lord Black, can I have this interview?" Rita asked with glowing us.

I shook my head as I pressed my face to Siri's chest.

"Amelia, I would request another reporter, or better, anyone other than Rita Skeeter." Sirius said as he looked at Amelia.

"Lord Black, this is..." Rita began but was interrupted by Lucius, "But nothing, Skeeter. You know very well that once you go against House Black, you will automatically go against House Malfoy. We have renewed our alliance as of today. And I know that once you are against House Black, you go against House Potter."

"Lord Malfoy." Rita wanted to speak, but she was again interrupted by Manus. "You will also go against House Slytherin and Sayre. This interview will be about my godson, and I will not allow anyone, especially someone like you, to ruin his peace."

"So will you go against House Prince. Do be careful with your next words, Skeeter." Severus warned.

I smiled at Severus and Manus. They gave me a warm look, though there was no change in their facial expression, it was seen in their eyes.

Remus has stepped to Skeeter and asked her to vow on her magic that she would not tell anyone about what she had seen or heard today, no matter who asked her and how they asked her. She was also asked to add in her vow that she would not be able to reveal this information even if she was imperiod until the article came out. She was also asked to vow that she would not write or make someone write what she wanted to in the papers after the article was released.

Manus was impressed. He didn't think Remus would have it in himself to make Rita vow on her magic.

"Don't be so surprised. He was a marauder, too. He had it him. He just didn't need to show it too much." Sirius said.

Rita flooed away, spewing curses at Remus and the others. In the meantime, another reporter flooed in.

"My name is Aria Cooper. I'm sent here by the Daily Prophet. If I am given permission, I'll put my opinions in the article, but it will have everything you said to every word, and for that, you have my word. After the interview, I'll once show you the final draft before it is published. If you want any parts removed or modified, you could tell me." The reporter said.

Sirius nodded.

After over an hour, the interview was done. Ms. Cooper said she would send the final draft tomorrow to Sirius. We thanked Amelia after Cooper left and walked out of her office.

While we were going out, we saw Arthur. Lucius straightened his back, took a long breath, and walked to Arthur.

"Arthur Weasley, may I speak with you for a while?" Lucius asked.

Arthur seemed shocked. He didn't expect Lucius to go to him and ask to just speak without any degrading words. He nodded, wanting to know what changed the Malfoy Lord who seemed to hate the air he breathed in.

Lucius walked to us with Arthur behind us. When Arthur saw us, he relaxed a little. He knew Sirius and Remus would never let him get hurt.

"Arthur, would you come along with us to Gringotts?" Remus asked.

Arthur nodded.

We all flooed back to Riverand's office. Who waited with a parchment. "I had a hunch you would be back, and it seems I was right." He said.

Arthur knew what to do. He took the dagger from Riverand and cut his palm, and let seven drops of blood fall on the parchment before he healed his palm. When the glow on the parchment dimmed until there was none, he took it and read.

After he read it, he knew what he had to do. He looked at Riverand and asked if he could have a full purge. Riverand showed him to the room where Sirius, Remus, and Severus got purged. When Arthur came out, he looked much better.

"Thank you, Lord Malfoy. For this, I would like to know what I have to do." Arthur asked Lucius.

"All you have to do is disown Persius Weasley, who cheated on Lucretia Malfoy, who was his wife, before she divorced him and put a blood fued on the family when the Lord Weasley at that time declared he would not disown Persius Weasley for cheating on his wife." Lucius said. "All I want is justice for my great grand aunt."

Arthur looked shocked. He didn't know that was the reason for the blood fued. "My grandfather told me that it was because we had more kids than the Malfoy family could get. I didn't imagine it was this. I would have disowned Persius if I had known this was the reason. No matter what, once a person is married or engaged, they can not cheat on their fiancé or fiancée" He said. "I, Arthur Septimus Weasley, Lord to House Weasley, disown Persius Aristotle Weasley, from the House Weasley by blood, magic, and soul for the disrespect shown towards house Malfoy and Lucretia Margreta Malfoy, so mote it be."

In a few moments, Arthur opened his eyes and said, "He is disowned."

"Thank you. I, Lucius Abraxas Malfoy, do hereby dissolve the blood fued between House Malfoy and House Weasley, as the house of Weasley has shown respect towards Lucretia Malfoy and punished the offender, Persius Weasley, so mote it be." Lucius said.
