Twins: A different life - Discontinued - Sorry

103

The entire table in Black Manor fell silent as the Lord and Head of the household spat out his morning tea and started violently coughing. Remus concentrated on making sure his mate didn't choke and die and Harry cleaned up the mess.

"What's wrong, Pads?" Remus asked in concern and Sirius blinked.

"I don't believe it," He muttered, "He really is an idiot."

"Dad, what is it!?"

"Potter, he's gone and put in an application for overruling." Sirius told them, and their jaws dropped.

"On what grounds?" Moony demanded.

"Insanity by the sounds of it," Harry muttered.

"The application is being called forth today and a decision shall be made either way." Sirius explained.

"Circe almighty,"

"What time have you got to be there?" Harry asked.

"It's a noon start."

"Shall we clear up and head to the Malfoys then? I can see Draco and Theo might be there because of his father." Harry suggested.

"Yes, I want to discuss this with Lucius and see his point of view,"

They finished their breakfast and went to get ready for the day, Harry couldn't believe Potter would be this stupid and he wondered what he used to be able to call for an overruling. He threw on black robes and went to wait for the adults in the living room on the ground floor, he wasn't surmised to see he was the first there, no doubt they were trying to remain calm before they left for Malfoy Manor.

"Honestly Moony, I really don't see how someone could change that much since school. Was he always this arrogant?"

"I think so Padfoot, we just didn't see it."

"What thank you eye opener,"

"Ready cub?" Moony asked and Harry nodded. They stepped through the floo and were led to the dining room of the manor, Harry immediately spotted the open Wizengamot summons in front of Lucius and he offered a grimace to the inquiring glance he got. He sat next to Draco who raised an eyebrow and Harry sighed.

"I take it you are here over the summons." Lucius said and the three Blacks nodded.

"Yes, do you know what they are over?" Sirius asked and Lucius shook his head.

"No, the summons was not specific, but then, when are they?"

"You'll love this then." Harry muttered.

"Potter has put in an application for an overruling." Sirius informed then.

"Excuse me?"

"Surely he isn't that stupid." Draco exclaimed and Harry gave him a look that said really? "Well, yes I know he's stupid, but that stupid."

"Apparently he is." Harry said.

"What grounds?"

"It does not say but I wished to know of your opinion." Sirius said.

"This has to fall through, there is nothing he could possibly have to go against the ruling." Lucius stated.

"But Dumbledore shall be leading," Remus pointed out and Sirius cursed.

"Dammit, I had forgotten."

"Check in with Marvolo before you go in, if anyone has any inside information it will be him." Harry said.

"Yes, that is true and no one hates Dumbledore quite like My Lord." Lucius agreed.

"At least he will be there to take Dumbledore, we have the littler fish to worry about." Sirius said, "Not that there is a lot we can do."

"No, we are there to merely listen, and you have to abstain from the vote as it is against you."

"Brilliant," Sirius sighed, "Have you spoken to Izar?"

"No, I intended to floo call him and speak to him. The boys can stay together while we are at the ministry."

"Good, may I suggest both Moony and Cissa stay at my manor, however?"

"Why?"

"It will enable Cissa to run a diagnostic on her patient and Remus promised Severus he would look in on Lily."

"Yes, that is fine. Cissa?"

"Yes, that will be fine. I have been meaning to go over and check, I expect the poor thing needs the female company."

"Right, if that shall be all. I shall call Izar, Sirius?"

"Lead the way, Luc," Sirius said, he pressed a kiss to Remus' cheek and followed the Malfoy Lord out.

"At least life is never boring," Narcissa commented and they laughed.

"Isn't that the truth!"
