Harry broke the hug, he was still a little confused about everything, he had only received the letter a couple of days ago. He had wondered how he was going to attend when Moody had knocked at the door threatened Vernon and he had been released. They had used the port-key attached. Harry broke the hug and looked over to his headmaster, he still hadn't forgiven the old fool for keeping the prophecy from him. Had he known it, he wouldn't have rushed to the Ministry. Sirius death was on his hands. Harry's eye narrowed.
"Sir, Sirius Black was my Godfather, he wanted me at this will reading, and I am shocked and appalled you didn't even inform me that this meeting was taking place. Then again why should I be surprised, it seems all you do is keep secrets."
Albus flinched, that had hit home. Harry took his seat next to Hermione, Albus was just happy he had obliviated Harry, he would hate to be on the end of those spells he had learnt last year, and right now in the eyes of the young Wizard, he had a huge target on his back. Dumbledore sat quietly, avoiding all eye contact.
Ragnok had grinned in how the young wizard had rebuked the headmaster, and opened several files in front of him. "Good afternoon everyone, my name is Director Ragnok and at the request of the late Lord Black who asked me to oversee this will reading. We will now begin." Ragnok touched several runes on a device that was stood in the middle of the table. Upon the pedestal an orb rested, which suddenly lit up and projected an image of Sirius for everyone to see.
"I, Lord Sirius Orion Black, head of the Most Ancient and Noble house Black, hereby declare this my last will and testament. All wills prior to this are forfeited.
If everyone is listening to this then I am afraid this old dog has passed on into the next great adventure. I know many of you will be crying and sad that I have passed, some of you will be even happy in my passing. I love you all, especially you Harry, I just wish I could have had more time with you. Remus you old dog, you better make an honest woman of my niece or I will haunt you for the rest of your days. You're all the family he has left Remus, please take care of Harry for me."
Remus had tears in his eyes and nodded. "I promise Padfoot."
"I leave you the sum of 600,000 galleons which after this reading will be transferred into your vault, you have no excuse now old chap. Get some new robes and live a little.
"To The Weasley family, I thank you for taking in my godson Harry, and treating him as one of your own. For this I leave your family the sum of 400,000 galleons, which once again will be transferred into your family account after this will reading.
Molly was in tears, that was too much, she wouldn't have thought Sirius would have left that for her and Arthur.
"Hermione Granger I thank you for rescuing me and being a good friend to Harry, and maybe something more down the line. You have been there to support him when he needed you and I am grateful for that. I leave you the sum of 500,000 galleons and the entire contents of the Black family library, don't read them all at once Hermione."
Hermione eyes widened in disbelieve she leaned into Harry who put an arm around her.
"To Dumbledore, your intentions may have been good, but you went against a will of an Ancient and Noble house, and had Harry placed with his magic hating relatives. You then had me thrown into Azkaban without trial. I can't forgive you Albus, so you will be left with nothing, stick that in your pipe and smoke it."
Dumbledore flinched once more, he had hoped for a little something to help the Order, but it seems the old dog, wasn't in a generous mood. The fact was, he had aired what he had indeed done. He had gone against the will of James and Lily and had placed Harry in the care of the Dursleys. He noticed Harry was now glaring at him, he immediately avoided anymore eye contact.
"To my niece Tonks and her family I leave the sum of 500,000 galleons I will also ask the next Head of House Black to reinstate you and your family back into the Black family."
Draco sneered "Like that will ever happen."
"To my cousin Narcissa I will also ask the next head of house Black to grant your request, I am glad you finally have seen what that man really is. As for Draco Malfoy you will be cast out of the family as I have instructed the next head to do so. Thought you were going to be the next Lord Black did you, huh not on your life."
"To my other Cousin Bellatrix Lestrange, you bitch! I will have next Lord Black annul your marriage and cast you out of the family."
"Which finally leaves me with you Harry. I have named you my heir and the next Head of the Most Ancient Noble House Black, if any wish to contest this then the goblins will now reveal where my Godson has the right to the mantle. The goblin will now pause the Will for a brief moment."
Draco immediately stood up. "I challenge this, Potter isn't even related to House Black, he has no right to be named the next head of the Black family, that should be me!"
Ragnok grinned the late lord had expected this exact scenario. Ragnok removed a large piece of parchment that showed the Black family tree which laid out on the table. He then pointed where two name were connected. "Dorea Black and Charlus Potter married. They had one son James Potter, who married Lily's Evans and had one son Harry James Potter. This gives the late Lord Black the right to name Harry James Potter as the next Head of the Black family."
