A/N1: Thank you everyone who read the last chapter here is the next chapter. This chapter has the meeting of the alliance and the the entry of some of the other Weasleys.
A/N 2: Again any review will be greatly appreciated as it will motivate me to write.
LadyPhoenix28 : Ron Weasley is one of the most poorly written character. He has always been just there and doing what was told. That's what he is doing here too. Being with Neville and Hermione and doing what's asked from him. As for the rest of Weasley's well they will make an appearance when they are needed. Currently they are doing what they do in canon.
A/N3: I don't own Harry Potter and am not making any money with it. This is just for entertainment.
Harry woke up the next morning when an elf woke him up and told him that he should get ready for the meeting he has scheduled for the day. Harry got ready thinking about everything Andromeda has told him about the Potter seat and all. With that he freshen up and wore a dark Green robe and a black trouser which for the first time in his life were fit to him and wasn't his Hogwarts robe. After saying Goodbye to Both Andromeda and Teddy he floors to Grimmauld place which he wasn't able to recognize was the same house from his fifth year. Kreacher has definitely worked overtime and the house while still carrying the feeling of Dark and Dangerous was quite clean and has enough lighting for him to be able to see everything clear and not a single thing looked out of place. Even the elf's head somehow managed to look cool and were only increasing the beauty of house. He definitely was impressed by Kreacher and decided to reward him with something good.
"Kreacher" he called.
"Master Harry, welcome back to the Ancestral House of Black, Does it look good" asked an excited elf.
"Yes Kreacher, you have done a great job, and after the meeting that will happen in a few minutes you can have a well deserved rest" said Harry.
"Will Master be coming here permanently or it be a temporary visit" asked Kreacher in a hopeful voice.
"This is temporary visit Kreacher but I will be shifting here permanently in a few days" he replied to a happy elf.
"Now show me the meeting room Kreacher as our guest will be arriving in a few minutes" said Harry.
" Follow me Master Harry" said Harry and took him to room which looked perfect to hold a meeting and Harry wondered why he hasn't seen on his previous visit.
"What is this place Kreacher, I did recall seeing it on my previous visit" asked Harry.
"It's Lords meeting room Master, and you didn't recall seeing it because the Lords section was locked during your previous visit and old master never took the lordship" said Kreacher last part in a bitter voice which Harry thought was due to disrespecting House of Black by denying the lordship.
"Now you should wait here at the Lords seat and Kreacher will escort your guests here" said Kreacher and Harry obeyed as Andy has told him that it's either heir or the house elf who should wait for the guest not the Lord as it's show of power which Harry didn't understand but decided to go with it.
Harry sat there as Kreacher escorted all the members of the alliance and by one and he welcomed them. He was pleasantly surprised to see that except for Roger Davis everyone there was from his own year and then he remembered that despite being in the same year he had no interaction with anyone there except for the few people who he knew via DA and once again he cursed both Ron and Hermione for their part in keeping him isolated from everyone in the campus.
He decided to start the meeting with a apology to everyone for the faux he committed in the traditions which was told to him by Andromeda.
"First of all, I would like to thank everyone here for helping me in gaining my freedom" he started to which they all nodded.
He continued "And I would also like to apologize for any faux committed by me before today due to my lack of knowledge and If you want to blame anyone please go with Dumbledore or Both Weasley and Granger" to which everyone laughed.
" Now Lady Greengrass please start with what you said about how can I help you in Wizengamot" said Harry.
"Thank you Lord Potter Black, as you now know that you currently have 8 votes in the Wizengamot which in itself is a significant amount but what I want from you is for you to support our faction and help us in balancing the power block in the Wizengamot" said Daphne.
"I understand that much Lady Greengrass, what I want to know is that what does your faction represent in Wizengamot, don't get me wrong Lady Greengrass but I have enough of people taking decisions for me and I would like to help you but before that I want to understand what I'm supporting you for and what does you stand for in the Wizengamot" asked Harry.
"That's a good question Lord Potter Black" said Blaise.
"Lord Potter for now Lord Zabini" interrupted Harry.
"As you wish Lord Potter, what I'm saying is As you know the Dark faction is full of bigots who thinks Muggleborns are beneath them and currently light alliance lead by Granger and Longbottom are working towards equality for them which most of us are fine with but the way they are going is by removing every Pureblood from the Dark family from any significant position in the ministry and giving it to the Muggleborns or people from light alliance and making rules supporting the Muggleborns and discriminating the Purebloods unless it's from their side then they give them exceptions" said Blaise.
"What Lord Zabini means Lord Potter is that basically they are being bigots towards PureBloods, I mean in the last session they removed the law which prevents Purebloods from taking veritaseurm the Wizengamot" said Lord Boot.
"I can't see how that's a bad thing" said Harry.
"It's a bad thing because we suggested that Everyone should be forced to take the truth serum in a criminal trial but other than that the PureBlood Lords have many house secrets they have to prevent so we can't force them truth serum everytime but they shut that down too" replied Tracy.
"I can understand your frustration then, but still those laws can't be the only reason" he said looking at everyone.
" You are right those laws aren't the only reason but the way they are moving is I can see them breaking the statue of Secrecy soon enough and that can result in ICW turning on wizarding Britain, Let me explain my sources told me that they are planning on removing the traces from the Muggleborns because the Pure bloods can practice Magic at home while they can't, they look at this as discrimination but this is because when the Muggleborns will use magic they can break the Statue Of Secrecy if they did any blunders because they don't have anyone correct their mistakes there but we have many experienced wizards to help us fix our mistakes. They will see it as discrimination and we see it as necessity because if they break the secrecy ICW won't take it lightly" said Daphne.
"I now understand what you are saying, but what I still want to know is where does this faction stand in all of this, you guys have been neutral for so long so what changes now" asked Harry.
"We stood neutral in the war because it was a internal conflict of the Wizarding Britain even then some of us fought from the light side like me and Terry but this can turn into a international disaster and we can't have that, So we want to interfere and because none of the factions are supporting a goal we can fight for so we decided to represent a third side which will represent equality but not on the price of traditions and we need your support on our side so that we can be a big power block of our own" explained Susan.
"That clears the things, I will join the neutral faction as long as it meant what was discussed in here, Now please someone explain the current standing of the Wizengamot and how can I help in shifting the power block" said Harry.
"I will explain you everything so listen There are total of 50 seats in the Wizengamot which consist of 28 houses, 6 department heads, 5 ministry appointed which consist of Chief Witch and Minister himself and 11 Order of Merlin winners that's how Weasely and Granger are there" said Daphne to which Harry nodded.
"Now the 28 houses are divided in 3 categories, Most Ancient and Noble Houses which consist of 9 houses Potter Black Greengrass Bones Parkinson Nott Longbottom Macmillan and Smith who all have 4 votes each where lights had majority before you came with 12 votes while we had 8 and Dark side has 8 votes" said Millie.
"Next came Ancient and Noble House who also have 9 house which consist of Zabini Boot Davis Avery Flint Malfoy Lovegood Corner Abbott all having 3 votes and all factions having 3 houses which means everyone has 9 votes from this group" said Roger.
"Next category is of Noble Houses which is the biggest power block of lights as 6 of the 10 houses are from their faction as it has most of the houses appointed after the war to fill the gapes. The houses here are Goldstein Bulstrode Travers Yaxley Chang Patil Weasely Shacklebolt Brown Edgecomb. Here both dark and out faction get 4 votes each while they get 12 votes" said Susan.
"Next are 6 Department Heads from DMLE, DOM, Magical Relations, Magical Transportation, Magical Sports and, Department of International Magical Corporations each having 3 votes each where Dark faction don't get any votes and we get 6 votes while light get 12 votes, next is 5 ministry appointed where we don't get any votes and all five seats which consist of 2 votes each goes to light faction" explained Goldstein.
"Next are the order of Merlin which again is a blank for the Dark while we get support from 5 members while other 6 are on the light side so we get 10 votes while they get 12 votes" explained Blaise.
" So in Total light side has total of 57 votes while we have 37 and Dark has 21 votes and we combined are just one more than them so you can see why we need your support" said Tracy.
"With your 8 votes we will have 45 votes while we can also influence some noble houses or Order of Merlin recipients or even Department heads on our side which will even the game" finished Daphne.
"That was definitely illuminating, I will join your faction for now and we will see how things go from there" answered Harry to which every member of the group was happy.
"I have one more question for you Lord Potter which is not related to the Wizengamot directly but is important" said Daphne.
"What's that Lady Greengrass" asked Harry.
"What are you view on the new Golden Trio, they will definitely contact you and try to have you on their side, So I just want to be sure that on that point" asked Daphne.
"They have tried to contact me but you don't have to worry on that front they are my and I will make them pay for everything" said Harry with a evil smile.
"Then you have my support, I too have some debts to settle with Granger " Daphne replied with satisfaction.
Harry nodded signalling the end of the meeting and they all left.
After the meeting Harry returned to the Tonkes house and nodded to Andromeda signalling the meeting went well while playing with 5 year old Teddy.
"So you joined the neutrals " asked Andromeda to which Harry nodded still his attention on Teddy.
Then Harry turned to and asked to Andy " I am shifting to Grimmauld place today, why don't both you and Teddy join me there that way I can help in raising him too" which Andromeda agreed after some convincing on Harry's part after which he called Kreacher to take their things to Grimmauld Place who was very happy that he has got a baby to take care of and also mistress Andy was coming back to home.
After taking care of that Harry finally opened Hermione's letter.
Harry
I know things are tough between us and you are very angry at us for turning our back on you but please understand we did what we thought was right and we thought that you were going dark. But now we have realised our mistakes and hope you can forgive us and we can be friends again. If you have any questions please feel free to ask us and we will explain everything. Hope to see you soon.
Hermione
PS Ron and Neville says hii.
He was glad that she didn't ask to meet directly as he didn't want to face them until he was ready to tear them apart.
"Are there any other mails for me" he asked Andromeda.
"Yeah two more arrived, I checked them for any spells but didn't find any" she said passing him two more letters to which he muttered his thanks taking them and opened to find one was from the twins and other from Ginny.
He opened the one from twins and it was a short one congratulating him for his freedom and asking him to contact them if he need anything. There wasn't even a apology for not even contacting him or anything. He threw it away and opened the one from Ginny.
Dear Harry
I'm really sorry Harry for not contacting you in the prison. I really tried but Ron and Mum didn't let me meet you because they thought you were going Dark. I know I should have tried harder but please know I did my best.
Atleast someone apologized even though he was in no mood for forgiving them thought Harry and looked back at the letter.
I tried to tell them that you couldn't go dark but no one believed me. I hope you can forgive me and we can start again. I know you need sometime to regroup and I am ready to give you that time but please know I'm waiting for you.
Love
Ginny
Harry threw the letter and started laughing. He knew his old counterpart would have felt for it that someone trusted him and tried to convince others he was innocent but prison changes people and he too has changed and could now understand things better. He could see Hermione's work all over the letter. Well played Hermione he thought with a smile.
They were assuming he was the same person who went to the prison, well they are in for a surprise. With that thought he started to write his letters to both Hermione and Ginny.
Twins don't even deserve a response.
Hermione was waiting for a response from Harry Potter and was frustrated that he haven't contacted them until now and it was over a day after his release from prison. She knew he would be angry at them that's why she hadn't asked for a meeting immediately instead had used a different approach and has contacted Ginny who she asked to contact Harry and has edited her letter herself and had played on his weakness by showing Ginny has trusted he was innocent and has tried to contact him but wasn't able to due to Ron and her mother and has hoped Harry would contact her and she would be able to use Ginny to bring Harry on their side. But that bastard has not even replied her.
At that moment a owl arrived with two letters and dropped one to her and other on Ginny. She picked it up and smiled to see it from Harry abs and looked at Ginny who to nodded that she also got her reply.
She opens her letter and find it was a short one just saying he needed some time to sort some things and contact them at a later date. She looked at Ginny who also has got the same reply. She smiled thinking that everything has gone according to plan and Harry would contact them in a few days and they would be even more stronger in the Wizengamot. She smiled at the thought of Greengrass's face when Harry will join them at the Wizengamot.
Daphne Greengrass was very happy with how the meeting ended. Harry Potter has agreed to join their faction and she was sure Harry will change the power balance in the Wizengamot. Ohh how she would like to see the face of Granger when Potter will join her faction.
At that moment her floo flared signalling someone wants to access the floo. She opened it to see Harry Potter entering.
"Welcome Lord Potter, how come you are here" asked Daphne.
"Call me Harry Lady Greengrass, you have earned it after everything you have done for me" replied Harry.
"OK Harry call me Daphne, so how come you are here " she asked.
"I got the letters from the trio and Ginny, and before meeting them I wanted to know what they are doing outside of the Wizengamot. Andromeda said you would have better idea about this" asked Harry.
"Well I don't know much but Longbottom and Granger got together and Weasely was just there with them. They got there order of Merlin after the war so focused solely on the wizengamot. As for weaslett she was with a few people here and there nothing serious and was trying professional Quiditch" she replied.
"Thank you " Harry said and left from there.
