Dark magic

When Severus came back into the boy's room he had to laugh. Potter was leaning against Blacky on the bed and they were both reading a book. Beast had the newspaper between the book covers and was chewing on it contentedly.
"That looks like a weird family photo."
Harry looked up.
"And what role do you play in this family?"
"You are getting cheekier."
"That wasn't cheeky, it was just an interesting question."
severus took off his robe and stroked Hedwig.
"What are you reading there?"
"Introduction to the world of rituals."
Severus looked surprised at his student.
"Have you taken rituals as an elective?"
Harry nodded.
"Yeah, that's really interesting."
"I would have made any bet that you would choose fortune-telling."
The boy snorted.
“I wanted that too at the beginning. It sounded really interesting. but then the twins told me that the teacher was a disaster. I didn't really want to believe that, at least Fred and George said so. But then all the other older students confirmed it. from our year only Ron and the girls took it, with the exception of Hermione. "
Severus nodded.
"Smart decision, if you were lucky, the woman would have predicted your death in the first hour."
The boy giggled.
"According to the stories, that would have been the most interesting thing about the whole class."

Harry sat up.
"And how was it? You look a bit annoyed. "
Severus raised an eyebrow and then turned to the mirror. it was true, he really looked exactly the way he felt.
“After my visit to the Ministry, I was still at Gringotts, Mrs. Bones advised me to do so. And the decision was a good one too. the two Blacks have already tried to get to my dungeon. "
Harry looked at his teacher in disbelief.
“Why should the two of them do that? just because you are the godfather, you don't have the right to take your money. "
Severus sat down resignedly. Amazingly, Blacky immediately jumped over to him and let himself be caressed.
“If I were still the godfather, Draco would very well have the right to my money. And Narcissa, too, to a point. The role of godfather is taken very seriously in the magical world. you are fully responsible for the child's welfare in the event of the death of the parents. And in the event of divorce for child and injured party. "
"But then many would withdraw the sponsorship again in order to escape this responsibility."
“That's right, but that's almost impossible. There are only a few exceptions. And Narcissa presented me with one on a silver platter, after all she has proven to be unfaithful. that is a serious social offense in the magical world, I have already told you that. And since I was chosen by Lucius as godfather, I could resign at any time if he considers the marriage to have failed. "
"Interesting, so if Mr. Malfoy had cheated on his wife, you still wouldn't have to deal with them?"
“Not legally, but in the eyes of society I would be pretty much down. if Lucius had cheated on his wife, he would have to look after the two of them. I would still have to take care of Draco. "
“Okay, I'm getting a headache. But that means the two of them looted your dungeon? "
“You would like that. But since it is already known what the good Narcissa has done, the goblins did not let her on my property until you had instructions from me. "
Harry grinned.
"And you have given it now, but the two will certainly not be happy about it."
A nasty grin spread across Severus' face.
"That's what I mean. Incidentally, draco is said to have behaved very unfavorably in the bank. It was supposedly so bad that even his mother was ashamed of him. Now the woman experiences firsthand how she moved her child. "
Harry stroked Beast thoughtfully.
“But I thought Mrs. Black had money of her own? Then why do you still want yours? "
Severus looked at Harry in disbelief.
“Your relatives took the money for you too. People are just greedy. narcissa wanted to live at my expense so that she could squander her own money. Now she has to pay for herself and her son. For example, buying your own place to stay. Oh one more thing. It's not called Mrs. anymore, but Ms. againsince the woman has got involved with several men and you don't know who the son is from, the marriage is declared null and void. It never existed, so to speak. "
