I forgive you

Chapter 54

Harry's POV
I woke up to someone shaking me gently. When I opened my eyes, it was Remus. When I looked at Neville, he was also being woken by Alice, and so was Draco being woken by Narcissa.

"Come on, cub. You have to wake up. We have to go to Wizengamot today. It is my first time taking over my seat there, and I want to be early." He said.

I smiled at him and nodded.

He picked me up and gave me a bath. Then, put on the best silk clothes Sirius bought for me with both the Potter and Black crests on the arms of the dress. It was royal blue with a black border and looked pretty cool.

Severus was already present when we went to the dining room. Remus fed me some soup and milk and gave me to Severus so that he could get dressed as well.

Draco was also wearing a blue dress, but it was of a darker shade than mine. Neville was wearing crimson with black borders.

Sirius was wearing his red auror uniform while Remus was wearing robes that matched mine.

Severus was, as usual, doning black robes to perfection. The only difference was that his hair was not greasy. It was styled to lay at the sides of his face neatly. Moiz was also wearing black robes with emerald green borders indicating Slytherin colors.

Lucius and Narcissa were wearing royal blue with midnight blue borders.

Alice and Frank were wearing burgundy with barn red border robes.

Regulus was wearing complete black like Severus, but his robes were made of Acromantula silk instead of normal silk that Severus was wearing. Barty was twinning with Regulus.

The floo flared, and the Lestrange twins walked in with another man. All of them were wearing dark purple robes. He must be their father since they had some resemblance to him.

"Welcome to Slytherin Manor, Lord Lestrange." Moiz said.

"You do not need to call me that, Moiz. We are friends. You can call me Rufus." Rufus Lestrange said.

"You do not like formalities, do you, Rufus?" The portrait of Abraxas said from the wall it was stuck to in the lounge.

"No, Abraxas, I do not." Rufus laughed.

"I know I do not need to remind you, but do be careful. The coot still has power and support. Be alert at all times." Abraxas said.

"We have Moiz there. Why do you need to be worried. This man is as paranoid as Alastor Moody when in the company of the coot." Rufus said.

"Now, now. Do not make fun of me." Moiz said. Then, the three burst out laughing.

"I wish Nott was here to see this. He would be stunned to death." Abraxas laughed.

"I know." Rufus smiled.

"Go now. You have to be there early." Abraxas shooed us away.

Severus and Moiz walked walked to the floo and flooed to the ministry with me in Severus' arms.

Remus, Sirius, Regulus, and Barty followed right after. Then, the Longbottoms, Malfoys, and the Lestranges walked into the floo and arrived at the ministry.

We brisk walked to the trial room and took our seats.

Sirius hugged Remus, Regulus, and me and walked to the ministry cells to be with the aurors escorting Dumbledore to the trial room.

When we looked around, we could spot Arthur walking in. Now that the fued was rewoked, he could regain his seat and vote. When he saw us, he smiled and walked to us.

"Where are the children, Arthur?" Remus asked.

"They are with Muriel. I will be representing the Prewetts as well, since the twins and Muriel are unable to come today." Arthur said, smiling. He then ruffled my hair and sat beside Remus.

Arthur had finally noticed Regulus and gaped.

"I know it is hard to believe, but they really did get me back." Regulus said with a smile.

"It is good to have you back, Regulus. I believe you are representing Black today." Arthur said after a while with a warm smile.

Regulus nodded.

"What about you, Severus?" Arthur asked.

"Prince, Ravenclaw, and Peverell." Severus said.

"The remaining?" Arthur asked.

"Remus will represent Gryffindor and his own house, Lupin. Moiz will be representing his own Slytherin and Gaunt, as well as Emrys and Lefay. Frank will represent his own house, Longbottom. Alice will be representing House of Fortescue and House of Hufflepuff." Severus said.

"You would be ruling the Wizengamot then." Arthur said in shock.

Our houses combined had more than half the votes. The founding houses, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, had 10 votes each. Emrys and Lefay had 15 each, being the royal houses of Britain. Malfoy, Black, Prince, Peverell, Potter, Longbottom, Fortescue, Weasley, and Prewett had 8 votes each, each one being the most ancient and noble houses of magical Britain. Malfoys, Blacks, Longbottoms, and the Lestranges had a lot of families aligned to them and would vote for what the Lord or representative of these families voted for.
