HP: Harry Had Enough

Chapter 111: House Black



"Yes, Peverell and Potter of course but I absorbed Potter back into the line. The next ring was Gryffindor which I also absorbed back into the line."

Cedric asked "Wait a minute, Godric was a Peverell?"

"Yes, he was the second son of Ignotus. He changed his name at the same time the first son changed his name to Potter. Anyway, I met him on the other side and he is largely responsible for my body being the way it is."

Daphne shook her head and said "Wait a minute, you trained with Godric Gryffindor?"

"Yeah, he was a hell of a fighter but he would have given Rowena a run for her money in the brains department."

Reginald looked at him a minute while shaking his head. "I suppose you met her too? You're just having us on now aren't you?"

"No Sir, I never met her but Godric spoke of her often. I think he had a thing for her at one time. And to answer your second question, no I'm not having you on. But if the Gryffindor title messed with you, I can't wait to see what you're going to say when I tell you that I also claimed the Slytherin title and absorbed it back into the line."

Lord Moon said "You mean to tell me that Salazar Slytherin was a Peverell as well?"

"Yes Sir, he changed his name after his father, Antioch, went crazy. According to Godric, he was a decent bloke but was way too serious all the time which I guess I would be too if my bloodline had been cursed."

Tracy asked "If you have both founder's titles and absorbed then, what does it mean for Hogwarts?"

"Not much really, I'll have more control over the castle than Dumbledore but even though I absorbed the lines, the titles still technically exist. I guess I could use the title of Lord Gryffindor if I chose to but I'm good with Peverell. All I really did by absorbing the lines was to pull the family magic into the Peverell line to make it even stronger."

Megan smirked and said "I'm sure everyone is pretty stunned by all that. Is that all?"

Harry flashed a quick smile. "Not at all love, I also claimed the minor house of Evans just to keep my greedy aunt and her son from being able to make a claim on the legacy my mother left behind."

Daphne looked between the tow of them. "I know I'm going to regret asking but is that all of it?"

Harry smirked. "Funny that you would be the one to ask that since the last part concerns you."

She warily looked at him. "In what way?"

"I am also the Lord Black as well."

The entire Greengrass family gasped and then stared at Harry for a minute before a small smile formed on Daphne's face. "The ferret always claimed that he would be Lord Black and that I would be his eventually. At first, I allied with you just to piss him off. But as I got to know you, well things changed."

Harry smiled "Well you won't have to worry about that anymore since he, his aunt, and his mother were disowned from the House of Black and I have started the process to get back every knut they ever received from the Blacks be it loans or bride payments."

Jonathan spoke up. "While I am happy that the Malfoy's no longer have any kind of hold over us, that still leaves the fact that the contract now binds you two together."

Daphne looked over at Megan and saw that she was trying to keep her face as blank as possible to avoid anyone seeing her feelings on the matter.

Harry said "Yes it does but at the same time it doesn't."

Jonathan quickly said "I've seen the contract Harry. If you are Lord Black, then Daphne is required to marry you."

"Yes Sir that it the way the contract was written but things have changed recently."

Daphne asked "In what way?"

Harry said "Sirius left me a letter apologizing for everything and at the same time, asking me to agree to a few requests. The first was to take the title of Lord Black and do something positive with it. He also asked me to kick the remaining members of the family out."

Jonathan asked "That's all well and good but what does it have to do with the contract."

"I'm getting to that. He never really said how he knew but he was aware of my relationship with Megan along with my friendship with Daphne and decided to give me options and not trap me into a marriage that I may or may not want. He went to Gringotts and used his power as Lord Black to alter the terms of the contract."

Daphne asked "It's impossible to alter a contract."

Jonathan said "No, it isn't but the only way I know to accomplish this is by sacrificing your magic." He sat there for a minute and then looked at Harry. "Sirius did it the night he went through the Veil, didn't he?"

Harry quietly "Yes Sir, he said he owed it to me to make sure I had the life I wanted instead of what had been dealt to me so far. He said it was to make up for all his mistakes."

Lilith asked "What does this all mean?"

Harry stood and stepped over to Daphne and held out his hand. As soon as she was facing him, he pulled the Black betrothal ring out of his pocket and held it out to her. Her eyes cut to Megan who was still sitting there stoned faced.

Harry said "The choice is yours Daphne. Megan and I have already discussed it and while we never talked about there being more than the two of us, we decided that if there was to be another partner, you would be the exception and one we would happily live with."

"So you're asking me to marry you?"
