Seats, seats, and more seats

Harry could watch his father trying desperately to control the muscles in his face. .Behind him, the boy could hear Draco's gasp, and when he turned he saw right down his schoolmate's throat as well.
Now Harry looked around at the other two adults.
.lucius Malfoy had put his hand over his mouth, probably wanting to prevent anyone from seeing that he too had lost his composure.
But the best thing was Sirius' reaction. .the former marauder did the same as Harry usually did when he was nervous, he stuttered and began to babble.

“Salazar Slytherin, perhaps the Salazar Slytherin? I mean the snake founder? .it can't be, the Potters weren't related to the man. And neither was Lily. They would have told me that, wouldn't they? Why don't I know anything about it, I ought to know. Merlin, how can something like that work? .the seat of a founder. After that, many would lick their fingers and toes. And my son has him all the time and doesn't say anything, he just sits there quietly. Why are you so calm? .don't you find that confusing? ", he wanted to know from the others.

Lucius had recovered.
“Because you've already said everything that went through our heads. Besides, we don't want to sound as stupid as you. "
.“I don't sound stupid, I'm just confused. It really came very suddenly. I mean, ..."
"Sirius, please, shut up, it's annoying," Severus grumbled.
"You never complain with Harry," the Marauder pouted.
"Because it sounds cute with Skunk."
."Stop calling me that," Harry grumbled in Draco's direction.
"But, it's so much fun," he grinned.
"Find a hobby." Harry picked up Beast and hit Draco's head lightly.
"Harry, stop that ..Better tell us how you got to the founder's seat, ”Severus pleaded.

The green-eyed man took his book back on his lap and plucked Oskar off his shoulder to play with him a little.
.“Actually, you should all know that. It's not a secret after all, ”he mumbled then.
The others looked at each other again. You could really see how it worked in their heads.
.draco was about to ask for an answer when he saw that the men's faces were beginning to show understanding.
"We're also a bunch of idiots," grumbled Lucius.
."You can say that out loud, it couldn't have been more obvious," Sirius agreed.
"Merlin, what the hell do you think? .I don't see what's supposed to be obvious about a Gryffindor having the Slytherin Council, ”Draco protested.
"But it is, Harry destroyed the last of the man's descendants, and thus saved the magical world. .and Voldemort didn't have any children, so the seat automatically belonged to the little one, ”Severus explained.
"Dumbledore came to his seat the same way," Harry said.
"What? Who did the old man defeat? .I thought he had inherited his seat, he is also a pureblood. "
"No, he's not, the old man is a half-breed," Sirius explained to the blond student.
“But then why did my mother bother with his brother? .That was in the newspapers at the time, that she had something with the bar owner. And as far as I know, she usually only chose purebloods. "
“You have to ask the woman that yourself. .but to be honest, I don't care, ”Lucius said.
"No, I don't talk to that person anymore," protested Draco.
Since the boy was clearly embarrassed about this conversation, Harry handed him Oskar. .just so the blonde could distract himself.

“Let's get back to the subject. So Harry inherited the seat from Salazar Slytherin when he destroyed Riddle. .But one thing I don't understand, why didn't anyone know anything about this seat until now? ”Sirius wanted to know.
“Everyone knew about it, only Riddle never claimed it. The man considered politics, as it prevails in our country, to be beneath his dignity. .for him only his word was valid, he never wanted to fit into a group. And that would have been asked of him if he had gone to the council, "explained Lucius.
“Is there a list that says who has which seat? .and how many? ", it came now from Harry.
Lucius nodded again.
“Yes, there are. But you can also keep the information secret if you want. That's what Severus did. Your father never wanted anyone to know that he had a seat. "
."Because I had to fear that someone would deny me."
"By, somebody, you mean Dumbledore," Draco suggested.
"Right. Speaking of which, Lucius, did anything say Harry had four seats? "
.“Did I give you the impression that I knew it? No, it wasn't on any list, and I always keep myself up to date. Only the seat was given by the Potters, ”grumbled the blonde.
.“But, I never asked for it to be kept a secret. I didn't even know anything about it, let alone that it was possible. "
Severus stroked his son's hair.
“Not you, but the old man does. .don't forget, he was your guardian, he couldn't claim your seats himself, not without your consent, but he was quite able to make sure that nobody knew about it. "
.“So he probably wanted to bring me even more under his control. If everyone had known about it, some families would have tried to get guardianship for me, ”the boy sighed.
"I agree," grumbled Severus.
."So who did Dumbledore defeat?" Draco changed the subject again.
"Grindelwald" came back in four voices.
"What, was he a descendant of Gryffindor?"
Sirius nodded.
“Why do you think so many people chased after that guy? .and why it was made worse when the man turned out to be angry. That was a shock for the magical population, after all, Godric Gryffindor was and is still a hero today. "
.Harry grumbled something incomprehensible, but he wasn't ready to express himself in a more understandable way.
